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.

Naz, I get really bad pain during ov for 2-3 days, ironic huh? Its as if your body doesn't want you to have sex to get preg! I just force on through the feeling grotty. Nothing else to advise sorry. i hate hormones

Naz83 · 29/04/2014 14:50

We meet again Victoria! Hopefully this will be our month. I'm sticking to dtd every 2days once AF over. Hubby is not getting a choice!! I do suffer during OV though, high temperature, nausea, exhaustion and pain, makes getting in the mood a bit difficult. Any tips anyone?

Naz83 · 29/04/2014 14:47

Hi kurama. I did exactly the same thing!! Moved from a 3bed house to a 2 bed flat and moving again soon!! Trying to get to know the new area. You'll be fine, just get the bedroom sorted first (wink wink). Good luck!!

Welcome to May bus Victoria, sorry af arrived, a few days away at your fertile time is perfect!

MelMc73 · 29/04/2014 14:31

Hi Victoria....welcome to May bus but sorry that AF got you. Sounds like you've got a busy time planned....can't beat a bit of caravan action lol!

gennibugs · 29/04/2014 14:04

Glad you came over victoria.

Sounds like your holiday is at the perfect time! I'm trying to convince DH to book a mini break for July when it will be "our week"

kurama · 29/04/2014 13:59

welcome naz Go victoria
ive started trying to downsize my stuff and start packing.i have 3 6ft bookcases all full! were moving from a 3 bed house to a 1/2 bed flat.... this is not gonna be fun Sad still trying to feel positive about getting my bfp in may. i only have 1 months clomid left after this and then i have to have a 2 month break before going back to see specialist.

NewlymrsB · 29/04/2014 13:59

That's the spirit Victoria!

victoria401 · 29/04/2014 13:48

Moving in from the dregs of the April bus. Af officially started about an hour ago after a false start on the weekend. Kind of feel better that I know where I am now.

Victoria401, 34, ttc#1 cycle 18 bfp due May 30th-ish

Right, this cycle I'm using opks and dtd from cd8! Hoping to do smep, which we failed to do last month. Hubby as no excuse as we are off work and on holiday during my entire fertile time! We're gonna be making that caravan rock n roll!

MrsGingerbread · 29/04/2014 12:43

Ohhhh, congratulations fancy and fingers crossed Linda. I missed an exciting morning!

I got my first ever lines on ic opks last week, so even though we didn't dtd that much fingers crossed it was at the right time!

Now 2dpo so I'm starting the tww (boo) which means I can start symptom spotting (yay!)
Does anyone have any unusual symptoms at the moment?

Come on dragonlet Dragon rawr!

hanflan · 29/04/2014 12:24

Morning Naz, and welcome! May will be a good month, I can feel it. Sorry AF got you Sad

Naz83 · 29/04/2014 12:19

Hi Guys, can I join?
Joined the April thread as a newcomer, but AF arrived this morning (I clung to all hope it was implantation pain and spotting but have to face facts now). Have been ttc for 2 years. Just moved home to a new area, new job, new doctor (hopefully might be better in fertility area than last GP). Fingers crossed for every1 for May!! :)

xBlueberry88x · 29/04/2014 12:11

Afternoon Ladies,

After bleeding a bit yesterday ive had a little bit of brown blood when wipe (tmi) but thats it.

Has anyone else had bleeding at cd12 ish?

To go with the mega migraine ive had since yesterday getting a bit annoyed that my fertile week isnt going as planned.

Congrats Fancy

FX Linda

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/04/2014 12:03

I started temping half way through a cycle too...Good way to get into the habit!! Smile

hanflan · 29/04/2014 11:43

english - I wasn't temping but have started as of now. I know, I know, I should have been temping but we were away for the weekend at a wedding, drinking lots and disturbed sleep patterns so I figured they would be all over the place anyway! Made sure we dtd every day just in case, and will temp properly from now on! Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/04/2014 11:38

Are you temping too hanflan?

Spotti, if you ovulate earlier than normal it doesn't mean you'll have a longer wait for your bfp. Your luteal phase shouldn't alter by more than a day or two. If you ovulate earlier, you should expect your bfp earlier Smile

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 10:22

I still giggle when I read Lucas, has to be my best typo ever Grin

hanflan · 29/04/2014 10:15

*avoid. Wow I am tired this morning! SYMPTOM?!!

hanflan · 29/04/2014 10:14

Yeah any basal thermometer will do, I got one from Superdrug and it seems quite accurate!

Right, my Fertility Friend chart is now telling me I most likely ovulated yesterday, due to presence of cervical lucas and another +opk... so I'm going to take that to ovoid testing too early. So here's to 1 dpo #2! Grin

kurama · 29/04/2014 10:05

fx for you linda you definitely deserve it! lol I've managed to convince myself im pregnant too lol. alhough nipples are not sensitive today im still getting little stabby pains. dry mouth with nasty taste lol Dragon roar Grin

Spotti · 29/04/2014 10:02

Wooooo fancy!!! I'm so pleased for you Grin. You're not allowed to leave us yet though - you're too funny and I'll miss you lots!

Well I've got 2 lines on my IC OPK and EW Lucas has come to visit so it's looking like DTD time for us. I'm on day 12 here so quite early in my cycle to be OVing but I suppose it 'fits' in with the average day 14 OV date...I just have an extra week of torture at the end of my cycle. Can't decide if I'm pleased or if I really cba...

Someone slap me and remind me why I'm doing this to myself (to get a baby dragon!).

Fx for Linda

ChaircatMiaow · 29/04/2014 09:50

Congrats fancy!! Thanks

Linda, fingers and toes crossed!

Chandler, I just got a thermometer on eBay and it's perfectly fine. Just make sure it's a basal one.

ChandlersFarang · 29/04/2014 09:46

In fact... What thermometer is the one you use? I assume some are better than others. Amazon is taking a caning!!! Wink

ChandlersFarang · 29/04/2014 09:45

Intriguing. I have a feeling I'll be ordering a thermometer then... They don't sell the sensitive ones you need for fertility temping in Thailand. Very annoying. Every time I learn about a new 'thing' I should have it takes 2 weeks to be delivered!!! Aside from the pink grapefruit juice, of course.

MelMc73 · 29/04/2014 09:34

Yay!! Congratulations fancy and fx for you too Linda.....hope the line gets darker. I'm 6 dpo at the moment and have been feeling quite nauseous for almost 24 hours now. Woke up in the night feeling dreadful! Can I test at 10 dpo...that would be Saturday.

Welcome newly....you've been very busy lol!
