It's staying light longer and we are taking the opportunity to get well and truly upduffed, yes that's right, three BFPs in one day! That's the May bus for you.

So I had a free hour this afternoon and thought it'd be a good idea to watch One Born Every Minute.

Shock

Oh. My. God.

I love your charts! Grin They look like mine.
This month was te first it's been more even but still haywire in comparison to many others. I'm just waiting for ov to get confirmed and will then post. Grin

No idea what's going on here

haha southy I thought I was bad with 6:30 although I couldnt get to sleep until past 2am.

I will upload my chart for you to see as well - if I can figure out how - just so you know you are not alone

Southy84 · 21/05/2015 15:38

Glad I'm not the only one with a hectic chart birchy :) you've made me feel a bit better.
My time has been varying, I keep waking up all through the night (I think it's because I know I have to take my temp) so stupid and annoying. Twenty to 4 this morning .... Yawn

Rachelc82 · 21/05/2015 14:52

Pulpi just has to be pure and not from concentrate. I get the tropicana pure grapefruit juice. Good luck with your tww and try to enjoy your holiday

birchygoo · 21/05/2015 14:38

southy yours looks exactly like mine! Like the Andes! I haven't Ovulated yet so am just holding out to see what happens with that. Plus my time has varied a lot - I never get up at same time and I LOVE sleep so I am resistant to get up early just to temp.

Southy84 · 21/05/2015 13:47

I was just wondering if anyone has any opinions on my chart so far this month? It looks awful to me... I didn't start day 1 and the spike on day 9 May be due to alcohol (dh bday). I'm worrying (which I knew I would as soon as I started temping) :(

Thanks for the stats night x

I'll actually be in the 2ww whilst on holiday, so I'm welcoming the distraction from manic symptom spotting! If I've managed to conceive this time, I'll know either just before returning home. Or not. To pack pregnancy tests or not... that is the question.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed a chance in EWCM, Rachel, and I'll pick up some grape fruit juice this afternoon. Any particular brand you recommend?

I was a perfect every 28 days before I started ttc, Carlton, but as there's been a lot of upheaval in the last 5 months I'm hoping that stress was the main factor in my cycles getting shorter (25-26 days now).

LazyDaisy99 · 21/05/2015 12:51

Thanks for the updated stats night

Can I update mine? I'm on CD9 on cycle 2 with AF due 11 June

Hope everyone is doing ok today x

Carltonlives · 21/05/2015 12:11

pulpi glad you're ok, I have noticed my cycle go a bit weird in the last 2 months too, it's like it was so regular before and now that I need it to be regular it's not so much! I think sometimes if you are really trying to notice and track stuff and it's important to you all these things come out the woodwork that were probably there before but just passed you by. A holiday sounds like a brilliant way to conceive, will you be ovulating while you're away? I hope you have a fab time Smile

Rachelc82 · 21/05/2015 11:43

I feel the same pulpi, Iv just turned 33 and thinking it's something to do with my age why no bfp yet. I also remember before ttc I used to have lots of EWCM and now none existent. Thought it was just me that happened to, and can't understand why it stopped as soon as TTC. Iv started drinking grape fruit juice this cycle as I read somewhere that that helps. I did notice slightly more this cycle, it's not the nicest to drink but I'm going to persevere with it. Nice your going on holiday after so long not, maybe will help with bfp.

pulpi · 21/05/2015 10:47

Me? I'm doing pretty well, all things considered. New job, finished school, going on holiday next week (first time in 6 years!).... but I am worried that I'm not ovulating as much as I used to. Before I knew what EWCM was, I had it every damn month. Now, it feels like a long while since I've seen it. I know fertility starts to dive around 35, but I just turned 33 so I'm hoping I've got some time yet. In the meanwhile, both DH and I are taking conception support vitamins (Pregnacare) and at it like rabbits. Fingers crossed this month will be some good news.

How goes it with you Carlton?

Carltonlives · 21/05/2015 10:38

How are you doing pulpi?

Pogmella · 21/05/2015 10:35

I'm planning on rocking a huge A Line skirt in a bright colour Smile

pulpi · 21/05/2015 09:49

Hugs to carrot and a big crossing of the fingers for night. I really had no idea that ttc would be such an emotional rollercoaster.

Carltonlives · 21/05/2015 09:43

Really? I hadn't heard that, I am behind with the latest trends though. Maybe I could get a vomit coloured dress - that way it could match my face Hmm Grin

nightandthelight · 21/05/2015 09:38

Vomit is the new hot trend at weddings I had heard Carlton Grin

Carltonlives · 21/05/2015 09:32

Yea not bad thanks Smile didn't manage to dtd last night but will try for the next 3 nights! Getting worried about all the functions and weddings I've got coming up and how I might feel sick/not fit into dresses/can't drink for them though Confused

nightandthelight · 21/05/2015 08:51

Thanks Carlton :) money is something that we will have to consider but with the allowance it should be feasible for me to at least go part time.

Just dtd when we fancy now thankfully :) How is it going with you?

OP posts:
Carltonlives · 21/05/2015 08:49

Wow night that's awesome! Both of my parents were fostered/adopted and it definitely something I will be considering, probably not until I'm much older though, and can afford to stay at home. Yay for ov too! Will you carry on dtd or have a rest now?

nightandthelight · 21/05/2015 08:21

Thanks guys :) Am terrified but very excited at the same time! Of course we might not be approved Hmm

OP posts:
Southy84 · 21/05/2015 07:50

night fx for you, but how exciting about fostering/adopting.dh and I have discussed this too, Not now but will definitely consider
If things don't go to plan. There are so many children in need of a loving home and a family, such a lovely thing to do x

autonomousplum · 21/05/2015 07:31

Hurray for ov! And fostering! :)

Pogmella · 21/05/2015 07:27

Brooke you'd probably want to help your chap if he had some tough stuff to deal with- I'm sure he feels the same Smile

Its all I think about at work! We're planning some stuff for next year and I catch myself thinking 'hope I'm sat at home with a 2mo then...'
