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.

Morning all.

I am very jealous of all your smileys and poas.

only CD3 so another 3 days before I can start poas - am getting withdrawals and need to indulge my poas obsession!!!!

encouraging DH to get much rest this week before our dtd marathon next week and the week after! Grin

MelMc73 · 30/04/2014 08:41

7 dpo....the days are going soooo sloooowwww!!

Is it wise to test at 10dpo?

Linda have you poas yet?! We are all anxiously waiting for news! Especially me as I'm an old codger and need some hope that my body can still do this lol!

toots I was up at 5am this morning.....the cooker timer buzzer woke me up! I was like WTF to my DH and he announced he'd put a baked potato in last night and set the timer so it would be cooked for him to take to work for lunch....he didn't realise the timer would make a noise.....d'uh!! Woohoo for solid smiley!

lindamagoo · 30/04/2014 08:41

Test wasn't any darker this morning, think it's maybe just evaps coming up very quickly Hmm

kurama · 30/04/2014 08:25

Waffleyversatile · 30/04/2014 07:42

Morning. AF is not due until next Wednesday but i have had period type cramping the last few days and this morning on wiping i had a little bit of brown stuff. Praying that it's not come early. I have a 25 day cycle and would have had a bit of spotting a few days before period started but never this early.

toothachereturns · 30/04/2014 07:39

oops meant lol Toots have fun!!! And you chandlers of course. Grin

toothachereturns · 30/04/2014 07:24

Lol Chandlers! Have fun. Grin

I've no idea if I ovulated this month. had all the right twinges and pains yesterday. AF should be due 14th so I'm going to class myself as on the tww as of today. Smile

spinningirl10 · 30/04/2014 07:16

ChandlersFarang · 30/04/2014 04:59

toots123 · 30/04/2014 04:32

Solid smiley! Woo hoo!!! Af will not come on holiday with us unless she is a week late and surely then I could be pg!!!

kurama · 29/04/2014 23:16

kurama · 29/04/2014 23:14

Nordicmom · 29/04/2014 22:03

...much better...

Nordicmom · 29/04/2014 22:01

Back here again , have been lurking and actually also testing even though I thought we wouldn't try this month but bloody hell got a smily face on the opk today and having a bit of chance of heart . DH is like what u said you'd have a break to feel better . I foolishly looked at our antinatal dragon baby thread and it got me all hopeful again and am having a hard time resisting the opportunity now that it's here . I thought I missed it and that it was early last thu when I had a twinge on the left side . Today cd 13 so similar to my usual ov dates . I'm finishing my second antibiotic and only 3 tablets left so I think I'd be ok to do this . Still nauseous on and off but much baby with that . Coughing still though so hope the antibiotic is helping . Aaargh can't decide but we'll leave it tonight . Only got a positive tonight in the morning still an empty circle

ChaircatMiaow · 29/04/2014 21:47

Fancy that makes me feel heaps better as I've yet to get a positive opk and it's my second cycle

toothachereturns · 29/04/2014 21:37

Kurama I'm just using the ones where you compare the 2 lines. Had a strong positive on cd7... no symptoms, then a negative cd8. Now on cd13 (pretty standard 28 day cycle) I have lots of symptoms and a definite negative opk. Confused

What cd are you on?

kurama · 29/04/2014 21:18

tooth are you using the blank/solid smiley or flashy/solid smiley? i had 2 blanks then solid on cd10 ( with ov like pains) then using a diff stick 2 blanks then flashy for past 8 days.... although ive had a few stabby pains for oast few days. (normally ov cd16-18) feeling sick on and off and occasionally sensitive nipples.

xBlueberry88x · 29/04/2014 19:17

I dont think so ive been doing opks since friday so 9 dpo and it looks like its getting darker. Af buggered off week a few days before that.

No more spotting today but still massive migraine and works stressing me so badly

toothachereturns · 29/04/2014 18:46

Blueberry, could it be implantation bleeding?

toothachereturns · 29/04/2014 18:40

great news Fancy!!! And hopefully be congratulations to you when you get your darker line tomorrow Linda. Grin

Victoria - sorry af has turned up properly, but like you said you know where you are. Smile

Well I'm on cd13.... had an odd +ve opk on cd7 and all negative since.... including today when I'm due to ovulate and having some twinges to indicate that. Hmm Any suggestions oh wise ttc-ers?

victoria401 · 29/04/2014 18:09

I ordered a bag of 50 ic opks last month! Law of sod didnt work for me!

Good luck with your next test linda!

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 18:07

Hi HKat Smile

My pal had her first midwife app today, she's finally getting excited, so happy for her but now it's made me really really really want it to be tomorrow so I can test again and hope for a stronger line. Gona be a long night

Starbright24 · 29/04/2014 18:06

Congratulations fancy and fx linda

fancyacupoftea · 29/04/2014 17:57

Thanks everyone. It feels really surreal.

Was just reading your chat about temping and OPKs and wanted to say that this is my 3rd month of trying and I have NEVER got a +ve OPK. Was using clearblue this month and every single little bastard stick was an empty face, taunting me with its bastardstickness. Have temped before but not this month, had already printed off a blank chart for next! In fact, had actually ordered 30 more IC bastardsticks last night - Law of Sod strikes again!

HKat · 29/04/2014 16:37

Hi Everyone -can I jump on board too please?! My circumstances are scarily similar to Naz's, had v light spotting at dpo 11 on Saturday that I hoped was implantation, but AF arrived properly this morning ??

I'm ttc #2, this will be cycle 4
