So I couldn't find a May thread, so I thought I'd start one for all of us who have dropped off the April thread.

Aunty arrived this morning so I 've just started cycle 4. TTC #2. Just had a long cycle so if this is the same length my most fertile time will be over Easter weekend.

So I might go all pagan and invoke some Spring fertility goddess. Or something. Or piss on some sticks.

?? Good luck, Spring Goddesses.

Think it depends on your cycle spinning, you get them done 7 days after possible ovulation, give or take a couple of days. I had mines on cd 20 as 21 was a Saturday but still not sure if I ov'd on cd 13 or 17

spinningirl10 · 30/04/2014 10:02

Good news Linda. Think I'll ask if I can get my bloods done. Do you have to get them done on cd21?

lindamagoo · 30/04/2014 09:57

Just got my day 21 bloods back and all is good so I'm defo ovulating Smile atleast I now know it's still possible for my shrivelled old ovaries Grin

my full stats - Age 32, TTC #1, Cycle 1, BFP due 16th May

(last cycle was really weird, so could be earlier, but am going to try not to test til the 16th... not sure I will be able to hold out though!)

kurama · 30/04/2014 09:44

thanks english were managing every2/3 days at mo. tried last night but dh was just too tired to finish so will just have to wait till he gets home this afternoon.

age26 ttc#1 cycle 20ish bfp due 12th may Grin

Waffleyversatile · 30/04/2014 09:42

my stats are Age 37, TTC#1 , Cycle 1, BFP due 7 May

lindamagoo · 30/04/2014 09:42

I know MrsE, promised myself last month I wouldn't buy these stupid tests, lesson learned for sure this time though. I have a digi but not using it until I'm ever a few days late. I'll try not to be gutted if af shows at the weekend as it means I can have a good night out for my birthday on the 18th Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 30/04/2014 09:41

Hope the lines get darker Linda and it's not a false positive!
FX a 'non-trying' month works out for you MrsE
Sympathies with the uti HanFlan, they really are the pits!!

6dpo here and nada going on..... just some creamy cm. But don't remember having any real symptoms until 12/13 dpo when I got my last bfp. Seriously hoping that I have a fertilised, viable egg in there merryily making its way to a nice plump landing spot in my uterus!! C'mon little egg!!

toothachereturns · 30/04/2014 09:38

Thanks English. This is a very busy thread so well done for keeping track!

Toothachereturns, age 36, ttc No3, cycle3, bfp due 14th May.
Smile

Stepawayfromthezebras · 30/04/2014 09:38

Spotti, I seem to OV early too. We've been TTC since August and I assumed I OV'd on day 13/14 of a 27 day cycle but got a CB test 3 months ago and thought it was broken the first month as it said I OV'd on day 9, same last month and CD 7 today I got a flashing smiley so probably a solid smiley on Friday.

So it looks like we may have been aiming for the wrong days for a while. Which makes me a bit less stressy about why it's taking so long but now I'm getting stressy that my follicular phase is too short Sad

spinningirl10 · 30/04/2014 09:37

Mel I usually test from 10dpo but I am an addictGrin

Linda, how about trying another brand of test? I've read that sometimes the lines can take a week to get darker! Very frustrating for you.

gennibugs · 30/04/2014 09:33

english think I put my stats but if not mine are:

age 33 ttc#1 cycle#5 (for 2014) bfp due 26 May

thank you for doing them!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 30/04/2014 09:26

Linda I had some false positives on internet cheapies so I'm sticking to frer from now on. Bfn is bad enough, but akin to retro seeing bfp then not is doubly hard. I think we should start a petition for tests to be regulated better.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 30/04/2014 09:24

I can't decide not to stop this month. Dh do free and easy leaves all decisions to me. So I'm going to try a non trying month. I don't want to stress about it as there's already so much stress with the house etc. So I will give my honest stats in the hope you won't all beat me with bastardised sticks Shock

Age 34, ttc No6, (no2, with h2) cycle 5, bfp 24th may.

Gosh that was a mouthful!

hanflan · 30/04/2014 09:19

Morning all! Keeping my Fx crossed linda, there is still time to get darker! Maybe leave it 2 more days and then test again? should definitely be darker then!

It is currently 2 dpo and day 2 of this bastard UTI. Do not want to be at work Sad

HKat · 30/04/2014 09:19

Hi English - My stats: Age, 37. TTC #2. Cycle 4. Bfp due 26-28 May , depending on how long cycle decides to be this month!

Spotti · 30/04/2014 09:09

*luteal, not literal phase!

Spotti · 30/04/2014 09:07

Really couldn't be arsed with DTD last night but OH was really sweet in a way only people who are TTC would understand and insisted that we do it anyway, even though we were both tired and really full (sisters bday yesterday and we all stuffed ourselves with pizza and cake - not so good for DTD afterwards lol) because "we'll not get pregnant if we don't have sex". Yeah, I know, but mother bloody mother nature is messing with my head and makes me not want to DTD at the 'right' times! (stupid natures contraception!). Pretty sure I OV'd/will OV in the next few days as I've had stabby pains could have been pizza and weird feelings 'downstairs'. Lucas seems to have gone into hiding though...hoping he comes back to help those little swimmers reach my dragon egg!

english - it's good to know that your literal phase doesn't change much but as it's my first month using OPKs, I've never really known when I OV, I've sort of just 'assumed' it was somewhere in the middle of my cycle...the last 4 cycles have been 35 days so I'm assuming this one will be the same or 252 days/40weeks Wink . If my IC OPKs are right, I'm just a bit surprised at how early I'm OVing (the middle of a 35 days cycle would be around cd17, so cd12 is quite early), if it's right though then it's no surprise that I'm not upduffed yet if we've been missing the crucial time by almost a week!

If I don't get my BFP this month then i think I might start temping even though I know it will stress me out, but I'd like to know what's going on there. Will have tonnes of questions for you if do go down that route!

Sorry to hear your line isn't getting darker linda. Fx it's just too early xxx

MelMc73 · 30/04/2014 09:06

Morning English
My stats (I think I posted them earlier....somewhere!)
41, TTC#2 (first with DH tho), Cycle 3, BFP 8th May (ish...cycle not very regular!)

EnglishGirlAbroad · 30/04/2014 08:58

Morning ladies!

I'm going to update stats later so if you haven't already can we have

Age (If you're willing to divulge) TTC#, Cycle # & BFP due date

Kurama, I'd probably leave it for this month and start dtd every other day to catch it. Otherwise it could end up being an expensive month!! And who knows - you could have ov'd already!

mistywillow17 · 30/04/2014 08:46

Morning all - DH has gone off too work feeling very smug, thinking he was the one who successfully instigated a quickie this morning (sorry if TMI!).

Little does he know that I planned it, after he came home too knackered last night to respond to any advances! I think we might have missed the boat this month otherwise. Getting the timing right is trickier than I thought it was going to be, especially as I am trying not to make a big deal of it this early on.
