We are hoping to get our BFP around 12th May! I think that's when I am due from last AF, but think I ov'd early Friday maybe?
We have had quite a few early losses so hoping for a sticky... please!

Anyone else want to wait with me?
I am NOT peeing on a stick until the 12th, should I need to.. lol.

Hello, how's everyone doing? This feed has gone a bit quite so I wondered how everyone was coping with tww. I'm away in Germany working but reading these forums every chance I get, I love that there are so many ladies going through the same thing.

I'm about 6 days away now from AF or BFP depending on whether I'm feeling presimistic or optimistic , haha. Seen a lot of BFP been celebrated on the forums so my urge to Poas is building but I really want to hold out till 12th. Getting negs brings me down. Got all the usual irritability, swollen boobs and bloating so I think AF is out to get me. Fx though.

Just done a clearblue digi test... Neg :( stupid to do it so early

ladyflower23 · 05/05/2014 14:35

Gemerama you are totes doing the right thing not buying OPKs. Just makes for too many of those tempting sticks to pee on lying around the place. I have not admitted to DH that I have bought 2 packs of OPKS (one cheapie one CB Advanced Digital) or the fact that I took 6 hpts last month before period was even due...the debts are mounting. Just hope I can stop once I'm not ttc anymore!!

I'm due bfp or af on 14th May. It's been a funny old cycle though. Normally get strong ovulation pains around cd12-14. I've had cramping on and off and got a +ve opk on cd7. So I'm not holding out much hope that I ovulated at all this cycle. Sigh. Sad

Penguinwantsababy · 05/05/2014 11:51

Blood tests, smear and scans of womb etc... Partner has to give a sample too. Doctor said they most likely won't find anything though. :(
I have live children, they just want to understand why I can't get much passed the 6 week mark now.
I am feeling very sicky today, and have an unreachable cervix - something I haven't had since beginning to check it regularly in January... Fingers crossed!! Beginning to think about testing lol!

Oh yeh boobs are are starting to hurt which is how i know i o'd but then that happened last month but af still came so not getting my hopes up yet. Get really grossed out by internal stuff so never try feeling cervix
As tempting as it is to know what its doing!!!

ladyflower23 · 05/05/2014 08:38

Tick tick peeing on sticks is an addiction. Seriously! I aml sure i have o'vd this month but still wasted two opks yesterday and am pretty sure i would have done a hpt despite being only 2 dpo if i'd had one in the house. I spoke to a friend about it yesterday and she said every time i get the urge i need to call her instead! I'm sure its like an actual psychological condition!
I'm very sorry to hear about your losses penguin. Even if you are not successful this month hopefully tests will be able to figure out the problem and a way can be found to help you carry to term

Penguinwantsababy · 04/05/2014 23:37

I too am due the 12th!
Squeaky beaky I was previously penguinttc, sorry you are still trying. (Lost my email password, dimbo me!)
I have had 1mc at 6 weeks 2 days in march, and last cycle I had a chemical. We are having tests done soon as they aren't my only two. We have been told not to carry on Ttc, but this is our last ditch attempt before the tests.
Anyone have any symptoms yet or done and tests? Anyone check their cervix?

cowbiscuits · 04/05/2014 21:56

Hello Rootbeer , sorry you've had a tough time so far. Hello everyone else

Mine is due around about the same time, I think. That's based on an approximate 33 day cycle but it has varied. Don't think this will be my month though, was working nights when I needed to be doing dtd.

Last few months I have been doing tests way to soon, every time. I'm absolutely not going to this month, until at least the 13th.

I'm on cycle 4 ttc dc2

LittleMissSunshine33 · 04/05/2014 20:15

Hi All! My BFP is due 8th of May but I am going to do a sneaky test on the 7th as it's my OH's brthday and would love to wrap up my (cleaned) stick as a present!
Am symptom spotting daily but nothing out of the ordinary OH doesn't even look up now when I'm prodding and poking to see if I have sore boobs! Grin

Cnix · 04/05/2014 18:51

Tick tack I know what yoursn about every bfn being a kick in the teeth. When I was TTC #1 there was a brand that I had to stop buying maybe clearblue because it was just so harsh when it flashed up NOT PREGNANT! But I agree with the others you're still in the running for May

Btw the jeans are nice but not really worth the money. Bought them in Manchester in selfridges so can't take them back unless I travel two hours. Husband went mad. I really think I've lost the plot!

Desperately trying to symptom spot and finding nada no matter how much I try. Crotch watch has definitely begun.

Good luck everyone xx

dildoos · 04/05/2014 17:37

Tick tick don't punish your self with these feelings they are totally normal and you still have as much chance for May as rest of us! Hang on in there.
Gem- yes those feelings of broodiness just happen upon us!

We have started bike riding 13 and 1/2 miles completed today my butt feels so very sore right now ow ow ow ow ow .

Happy bank hols to you all xxx

Well, my resolve didn't last long. I did something stupid! I weighed myself this afternoon and realised I am a couple of pounds heavier. So straight away, my default reaction... Maybe I'm pregnant! So did a test straight away and got the inevitable bpn, cue irrational feeling of hopelessness. Why am I even bothering, I'm probably never going to get pregnant, why did I do that test. How bloody stupid of me. It's so silly, I'm only cd18, period due in about 8 days so a bfp is highly unlikely right now and I'm definitely not out of the May club yet... But every bfp is like a kick in the teeth, it feels like a failure. Not loving this TTC game right now, I had no idea it would affect me emotionally so much. Iv never been broody but starting to realise i actually want to conceive more than I knew! Sorry to rant ladies! X

Buying expensive jeans was defo a good idea to get bfp. am thinking the same with my overexpenditure on opks! 2dpo and have sore boob. Do you think i could be the fastest implanter in the west and this is a SYMPTOM?!

Cnix · 04/05/2014 07:44

BFP due sometime between 6-9 th may. This is cycle 5. I went crazy yesterday shopping with a friend and bought myself some beautiful new jeans for £185!!! Thought occurred to me on train home wouldn't it be funny if I got my BFP this month as I'm sure they wouldn't fit me for long and then I won't get to wear them for over a year!!! Lol

ladyflower23 · 04/05/2014 07:31

Mines due 13th but absolutely will NOT do a test till 17th. Have asked dh to not let me in any chemists but i'll have to go in sainsburys so it's unlikely i'll last that long. Or even till 13th. Plus I've heard that opks detect pregnancy and ive already got loads of those to waste!

I'm with you Rootbeerfloat, bfo due on 12th, eeek! I'm working away in Germany next week so I hope this will keep my mind off symptom spotting. Iv wasted loads of sticks by peeing too soon so I'm determined to wait till AF doesn't show up this time. It's going to take will power of steel but its for best to avoid beating myself up on seeing bfn.

dildoos · 03/05/2014 07:47

Gem - I am that mental I have tested day after Grin
I have not bought any ..........yet!
I thought maybe if I tried not too and then we are away in centerparcs where I don't think they will sell them? I then can't test until day after due ?
However I possibly would want to POAS days leading up to Smile

I am due on a weekend away so I may be able to avoid testing until the day Smile x
