The May bus continues for those who regularly check for their Cervical Lucas, take frolic acid, shout SYMPTOMS, stock up on more BastardSticks and just want to be upduffed by the green penis dragon!!

today has been the worst TTC day ever since we started trying was supposed to get a high on CBFM and got a low maybe my cycles are different to what this app is telling me but cant help thinking maybe im not OV at all

Just read the list 'patiently waiting' for bfp! yea rigt like i am patiently waiting. im going to poas next saturday (and prob everyday until then) no symptoms so not looking likely! :(
4dpo

^^read!!

Congratulations!! Awesome day so great to jump on an dread all the good news!! What a lucky bus, hopefully June can be just as good!

Good luck for poas tomorrow genni. Surely you'll have to follow the trend and get a bfp too!

I forgot to add to the stats that this will be dc#2 and I have been ttc since October

I think we have been mistiming our dtd in previous cycles because my cycles are so long and irregular we have always just missed ov time so I was determined that would not happen this month.

Ok here are my stats:
Dtd on cd 11, 13,14,15, 18,20,22,24, 28, 30.
Currently cd 32.
Possibly positive opk on cd 18. Can't be sure as the whole set of opk's didn't really work and the dye only came up on a line about half a mm thick, much thinner than the control line so they were hard to read.
Some spotting on cd 22 which was potentially ov spotting. I never normally get spotting at any point in my cycle.

SYMPTOMS: not too many really. My boobs are bigger, have been for a day or two but no more than normal pre af. Had a headache a couple of days ago (rare for me). Af cramps for a couple of days and that is about it.

Things we did differently: used conceive plus for the first time, used opk's for the first time although they really didn't help me have a clue what was going on. Made a bigger effort to dtd every second day throughout my potentially fertile period, which is bloody long in my case. I got chickenpox and felt really grotty so it was tough at times to want to but I'm glad I did because I ov'd while I had it!

I'm really hoping we can get to 20 bfps this month!

My boobs have been sore from about 4 dpo getting worse and worse.. here is the magic digi I feel triply lucky all 3 tests today have been bfp :)

MrsB where have you gone? Hope you are ok

Thanks for the stats ladies. DH and I aren't marathon shaggers due to work patterns so.good to know you don't have to be.

so pleased for you all.

I'm cramping very badly, going to get a hot water bottle I think. On serious crotch watch here!

Thanks Everyone! I've had some very very slight spotting earlier so I guess either AF is imminent, or - and this is a very long (hopeful!) shot - I'm back to longer cycles and this is implantation bleeding. I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated, I could be between 8-11dpo which doesn't help! Will just wait and see I think...

Btw BFPers, how many dpo before your boobs started swelling/aching?

MissMrs Friday it is! Although I'm not promising to resist ICs before then. Will it be so terrible if you get a BFP? You don't really need to say anything until at least week 12-15 by which point your probationary period should be over, right?
Thanks for the stats broody and flirty. I was beating myself up for only dtd 3 times this cycle...

Flirty I'm 6 weeks and 5 days keeping ok, very tired though but that could be to do with oh and his mate drinking and chatting (very loudly) until the wee small hours this morning, lol

silver ok let's do Friday! I am so nervous. It would just be the story of my life to get a BFP now and have to tell my new employer in my first week of work! Haha.

I have AF cramps so maybe I'm safe.

Sorry to be saying things like this when everyone else wants a BFP so badly! I did too until this week but it's all changed now! If no BFP this month then we will wait a few months (but I will still be around!).

This is just amazing! Every time I've refreshed this thread today someone else has got a BFP... Flirty, congratulations!!

Broody I love your story from this month - one golden shag?! That almost never happened!! Fantastic work. And then flirty you did a stellar job of the SMEP!! Thanks so much for the success stories both of you, love reading them. So many positive vibes on the May bus!!

Thanks Linda for info.....makes me think I'm still in with a chance!

Great stats broody and flirty. Thanks for taking the time to write them.

Thanks so much silverine so happy being up there! And I suggest you and missmrs poas on Friday! I got two BFPs on two separate Fridays so it could be a lucky day!

Especially for you flirty for Hat-trick Super Sunday!

Oh wowwww! Hat-trick Super Sunday indeed!!! Brilliant news Flirty! Best wishes for plain-sailing healthy pregnancies all! So that makes it 17 for May - let's make it to 20!

genni best of luck for POAS tomorrow - will it be your first this cycle? Any other symptoms apart from the cramping?

spinning and HKat you have time yet and it's not uncommon to have bfns until well past AF due date and be pg. So FX for us both!
And spinning thank you so much for the yesterday. I dare to think it's not so much of a "dream" for us like DH said but more of a realistic prospect!

MissMrs I am also 6dpo and AF/BFP next weekend, so I should hold out until Saturday ideally, but not sure I'll be able to! Especially if my boobs start swelling up! Do you think you'll hold out until Saturday or shall we make a POAS pact for Friday?

Lol linda so true! hcat I'm not sure about afternoon pee...but I'd say everything works best with FMU as its had all night to stock up your hormone levels! english and linda how many weeks are you now?? Hope you both are well x

I agree with flirty! ic's are bastards and frer's are best ditch the cheapies girls, they'll just screw you over

Quick question -do FRERs work best with FMU? In other words, was it pointless testing in the afternoon like I did?

Thanks english I'm hoping this time will be different.broody when I do due date calculator on mumsnet with my ov date it is 30th jan. when I do it on nhs with last AF date it is 2nd feb. I'm sticking with jan in my head bc then it's closer

Congrats flirty!!
Very lucky bus!! I've had on/off brown discharge since before my bfp. Amd had some pink last night. Trying not to worry too much. FX for sticky beans all round

Flirty how do you know your due date? If I do from date of last period it is 1st feb but from day of conception it is 30 Jan?
