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.

Hi Mel I'm also 5DPO with the same symptoms (including needing wine - got some chilling in the fridge - what time is it acceptable to open?!) fx for you.

MelMc73 · 28/04/2014 12:47

Just caught up on a couple of pages of posts as not had a chance to look over the weekend! Busy busy.....5dpo here and starting to symptom spot. Feel a wee bit nauseous at the moment and had some twinges of cramps....also a lot of milky CM and feeling bloated....surely this means I am preggo lol!! DH is worse than me......he is convinced I am preggo this month since we DTD at the right time. I told him not to get his hopes up! Hope you all had a good/productive weekend. I hate Mondays! Need some Wine!

Ps my disgusting word is SMEAR.

MissMrsMummy · 28/04/2014 12:26

Yes Mrs. Was suspected to have it 10 years ago but think contraception since then has kept it under control. Now it seems to be back! Have you had any treatment?

xBlueberry88x · 28/04/2014 12:26

Afternoon ladies

So I had a week of sex planned as its my fertile week.

However I have just been to the toilet and for some reason ive been bleeding (which I hadnt realised) pretty red in colour.

Ive had cramps this morning but I figured this was down to ovulation.

Now i dont know whats going on grrrr.

Sorry for self indulgent post I will read back.

Missmrs really sympathise completely with the endo, it's the pits isn't it! Sad

MissMrsMummy · 28/04/2014 12:09

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to have less contact on the boards as I get so bloody obsessive but just popping in to see what's happening.

I love the disgusting words game! I usually have loads but can't think of any now...

In other news, we are TTC less intensely than before. I am only temping to make sure I ov. We only DTD 3 times this cycle. I had AF cramps, nausea and very light spotting yesterday at 4DPO and a temp drop today at 5DPO. So, as you can see, despite not trying very hard, I am now symptom-spotting like mad! Stupidly I have read experiences online of people getting a BFP after spotting at 4DPO.

I have been to my GP about my endometriosis symptoms (which could explain the spotting and cramps...ugh) and am having swabs this week. Then I'll be back to the gynaecologist.

Hope you are all less mental doing better than me! I feel like a nutcase, lol.

Chandler, where In Thailand are you, do you live there? I went to Thailand a few years ago and absolutely loved it! Dp and I have been talking about going again but travelling around so we can get to see moreGrin

spinningirl10 · 28/04/2014 11:38

Ahh I've just dropped my phone and the screens smashed Sad

9dpo here and zero symptoms. Will poas tomorrow cos I'm a poas addictGrin

ChandlersFarang · 28/04/2014 10:03

Karuma I'm loving the positive mental attitude despite those setbacks along the way!! I've got everything crossed for you this month, glad you've got a good feeling!! Smile

Toots - it is so annoying!! Zebras your mum was right. Frankly it also takes away from a future happy announcement if everyone's been asking you when it's happening! Luckily I'm out of the UK and away from all my usual nosy people in Thailand so I have escaped the worst of itWink

Stepawayfromthezebras · 28/04/2014 09:58

Thanks for you toots - you poor thing, how insensitive!

My mum always drummed it into me never to ask that question. It's only really since TTC that I've realised why. But every other bugger in the world seems to think it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask Angry Sometimes I'm tempted to answer with the truth and a long explanation of how long it's taking me to conceive and just how angsty it's making me!

kurama · 28/04/2014 09:43

yes the line is suppost to get darker. its suppost to match the control line or be darker for ov to occur

kurama · 28/04/2014 09:42

my stats are ttc#1 cycle 20 ish and bfp due 12may. this is my 3rd month of clomid. the 1st month cyst ruptured after having pains on cd16-18 went on day 19. 2nd month I thought same thing was happening but just had the pain from cd 16 to af 2 weeks later. I had 8 flashy smileys last month then ran ouy of sticks. this month blank on cd8/9 solid on cd10 and flashy since then. kept testing in case its a false positive.

my problems are rare apparently and prob happened coz I wasnt ovulating. weve been ttc for 2 years but with pcos and arthritis it just hasnt happened yet but I have a good feeling about this month sorry for long post lolGrin

Waffleyversatile · 28/04/2014 08:54

Morning- officially on the TWW now- got my solid smiley face on Friday and have been following the SMEP plan- God I am knackered with all the B'ding lol- Husband works shifts so I have been staying awake until half 11 to get some action then having to get up just after 5. zzzzzzz

ChaircatMiaow · 28/04/2014 08:47

Here's a silly question, does the line on an OPK get darker the closer you get to ovulation?

ChaircatMiaow · 28/04/2014 08:46

Rank word: SNOT Grin

kurama what date is your BFP due?

ChandlersFarang · 28/04/2014 08:19

Kurama, sorry for lack of scrolling to hunt them down, but what are your stats? How long have you taken clomid? How are you finding it? I thought I might have to try it when I was having my 98 day cycle (I live in thailand where doctors will prescribe literally anything immediately)...

kurama · 28/04/2014 08:14

but it is a symptomGrin Grin Grin Grin Dragon

kurama · 28/04/2014 08:05

I dont have any cm Sad but I think thats due to the clomid. def had it before starting tabs. now zilch

ChandlersFarang · 28/04/2014 07:58

YES guys, great symptoms! He he. This round is all starting well/sounding promising!Wink

I assume you've all seen this website? www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/dpo-chart.php?dpo=2

It's a great evidence base for early symptoms. Shows how many women felt - preggo or not - on each DPO. Some preg women had increased CM after 2/3 days..! (Spot the newbie)

lindamagoo · 28/04/2014 07:45

Toots I hate WINCH, it's defo a Scottish word.

I have killer sore boobs today and was up during the night feeling very sick and had an upset tummy. SYMPTOMS? Please Smile

FESTER

kurama · 28/04/2014 07:40

yey chandler and english Grin well I have slightly sensitive nipples ive felt sick for past 3 days on and off. moody and having trouble sleeping again lol.
still getting flashy smileys but im hoping thats coz lh is high????? go little beans! Dragon roarGrin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 28/04/2014 07:23

I'm going to bury my head in the sand for the next 10 days... Have had creamy cm the last 2 days but realistically I know it can't be prego related as it hasn't even implanted yet! Lol!!

toots123 · 28/04/2014 07:18

Morning all

rank word - WINCH (might be a scottish thing!) Old person slang for snog.

another flashing smiley today but hoping I ovulate in the next day or two so af doesnt think she can come on holiday with us
At a christening yesterday and got asked about 10 times when im having a baby. Wanted to cry and im only cycle 5. Imagine what I'll be like if we get to cycle 10 or 12!

ChandlersFarang · 28/04/2014 07:14

Karuma & English, I'm on DPO 3 so let's get symptom spotting together! Smile Mine are - incredibly sore nipples (just the ends, yeeaaw!) since yesterday and today lots of milky CM. Had to sack off yoga halfway thru this morning as I was exhausted!! Could be as I didn't eat enough beforehand but not usually an issue. Eep!
