Moving on to May...Lets get start acting like Spring rabbits for BFPs in May.

Morning Ladies,

I'm hopping over from April. Feel like i've been on these buses far too long. Surely it should be my time to depart for good?! Feeling very shit!
I'm on cd14, using cbfm and still getting low readings. After not ovulating last month, I was really hoping this cycle might be more normal. But no.

EnglishGirlAbroad TTC#1, Cycle9, BFP due - FUCK KNOWS

Officially hopping on the may bus AF arrived last night not handling it to well

Blueberry ttc 1 cycle 14ish bfp due 14th may

How about organising a lovely holiday for over xmas, that's bound to mean you are pregnant by then and cant go, happened to me!

Ok I'm really starting to get the impression that people who get pg are not really trying and people who are (like us) find it so hard to get a BFP.

Could there be a real link between trying and not becoming pg?!

It would be impossible not to try now though, seeing as I know so much

cool, there are a few good catboots round us that i might have to check out next time dh has a sunday off think im gonna start poas tomoro

I'm opking again, never had a + tho, always faints last month. AF arrived early/long drawn out so god only knows where I am in my 2nd not TTC cycle lol.

I'm a car boot junkie. Fella goes for retro games & I tag along & have avoid old haggle. Sometimes people don't realise wt things are worth like the Moses...think he was doing a house clearance (but it didn't fit in with the rest of the junk he was selling) I don't mind scruffy just needs a wash, I don't buy anything with damage/tears tho. Cot was scruffiest thing but I could tell it'd been in storage & it'll do up xx

Ooh just poas and got -opk. Never been so happy to see an empty circle

Bella, that's me! Always waiting to poas an opk or a frer

I'm away at my cousins and fit negative opk yesterday before bed. Also negative this morning, cd11 and usually get a positive so I'll try and poas again later.......it's not easy in someone else's house!! Good news is that I'm going home a day early so will be able to dtd tomorrow night

Hope everyone is ok, can't check in much for fear of being caught out!!

hanflan it buggered off yesterday morn! still clear after dtd. then 5 mins later it looks likes ive been sliced open! (sorry for tmi) just makes me wanna scream. also my boobs have been looking kinda red and blotchy.... any ideas? dont wanna go to docs if its just a rash or something.
bella were are you finding all these great deals?????

bellaboo I was thinking that this morning! My AF has just arrived and I'm already wishing it was weeks later so we can try again. What happened to just living in the moment?! haha. Going to try to enjoy these next couple of weeks. Grrrr.

Does anyone else wish their life away basically waiting to ov?

These past two not trying months are seriously dragging :-( Roll on middle of may, I want my June bfp! I will be doing every tip (thats a new one thx missmrs!) & im going to get my zita west book back out.

I need to stop buying things too, even though i can afford whatever i want money no worries for pfb, ive decided to do it as cheap as poss....this months buys inc a mamas & papas moses & stand rrp £145 for £5 not a mark on it & a shabby chic project mothercare cot rrp £99 for £3. Just being picky abt at paint I can use now. Feel less guilty about the new 'family' car with isofix now hehe xx

Haha kurama mine often does that too. Likes to surprise us, sometimes in the middle of dtd. Like "Ha, you thought I was finished did you?!".

or not. after nothing seen from af for 48 hours it comes back with vegence 5 mins after dtd..

cd4 and af has buggered off. let the fun begin!

Hibou I've felt exactly the same. And it's really hard not to make it about a purpose rather than because you and DH love and want to have sex with each other. Frankly, with an 18 month old, we're LUCKY if we manage it once a week. So I get a bit tense around ovulation because I'm thinking, damn if we don't get to it, that's another month gone. It's very hard not to make it a means to an end rather than for enjoying in the moment and for its own sake.

P.s I know it often doesn't work like this - started trying in Oct, thought it would've happened by now :/ bit naive!

Haha thanks for advice - it's so frustrating, this month is our last month trying as because I'm a teacher and for financial reasons we want a baby no later in the year than feb really so taking a break after this month. Which is why i really really really want it to work this month :D

Hibou, that's exactly how dh and I felt when we were trying for our first. It had gotten a bit clinical and felt like we were only dtd for one purpose and not for the fun of it

I got pregnant after we had sort of stopped trying for a bit so frustrating as it is relaxing does actually work!

All these years we are told it's really easy to get pregnant and do everything we can to try not to and when we get ready to have a baby it turns out it's actually quite difficult to get the timing right! I'm not telling my DS that when he's a teenager though!!!

hibou No advice really. It's sods law that when someone tells you not to do something, you do it. So when people say "oh just relax, don't think about it, it'll happen..." you just want to tell them to eff off haha!
Instead of thinking "we'll have sex today", think of the positives. Look forward to it! Lot's of sex has got to be a good thing, right?

I need to vent, I am sick of dtd feeling forced and 'for a purpose' it's affecting me, and I think oh too though he isn't saying anything. We said this month we'd try every other or every third day. Not due to ovulate for another week (I think) but still doing it anyways. Today I'm thinking 'we'll have sex today' and I know it shouldn't be like this. Arrrghhh. Anyone else? Or any advice?

Hi all! Is it ok if I join you? After AF being 3 days late (and me getting my hopes up) AF finally arrived late last night. .
Now on ttc cycle 2. Due to ovulate around the 28th April, next AF due around 11th/12th May. Let's hope I can ward her off and get a nice BFP. Positive vibes!

Haha yes Viper!

Thanks MrsGinger yay I got a few days of temp rise last cycle so looks like everything is working!

Good work Crisps! Don't forget straws as well.

Have fun Star We will be starting today too!

Hi Bang, welcome aboard.
2 lovely matching lines on opks. Slight dip in temp this morning and dp says he's too achey and can't dtd and has got up. Grrrr. I'll have to jump on him later.

Just added a bag of lemons to the shopping list...

Hope it's not too late to join?!

I'm on cycle #5 Ttc #2 CD14 BFP due 1st May.

DTD CD11 and CD13 will also try on CD15 to cover it but pretty sure I ovulated yesterday or will do today as I have ovulation spotting every month which is a handy indicator
