May BFP Bus

Hi everyone old and new! waves

Sunny my etd is 13th May, same as Lucy but unfortunately this is a friday 13th!! Now on CD 13 after my chemical and have had lots of ewcm for around 3 days now, which I assume means I'm fertile along with my two dark lines on my opk this morning. Spread those are what I am using and I like them. We dtd Sunday morning and again last night and will pounce on dp again after my netball session on Wednesday night if I can muster up the extra energy!

Sorry I'd forgotten jpeg!!

Oh I didn't know SMEP said to DTD every day around OV. I'll have a proper read of it I think! I found my old temping chart from the month I conceived with DS and we DTD the day before and after OV so guess it still works that way too!

Sorry AF arrived spread but glad you didn't take my comments the wrong way! Don't rule yourself out if you spot another month though. I did and drank half a bottle of wine on Friday and Saturday night and then got my BFP on the Thursday. Whoops!!

Notta I don't think we DTD when DS was 9 months old at all! I suppose it might be easier to be bothered when it's for a purpose rather than as a priority over sleep?! Haha! Hopefully your cycles will get back to normal soon. I'll add you to the stats soon!

SMEP is the Sperm Meets Egg Plan, it was devised as a system for after miscarriage but has high success for others - basically Dtd every other day and then every day near ovulation.

Thanks spreadontoast!
Can I just ask what is SMEP? I keep seeing it but no idea what it means! Sorry if it's a bit basic!

Welcome to the new bus-mates, hope May is the month for you!
Notta have you tried using OPKs? This is going to be my first month using them, should make it easier to know when to dtd.
kellz hope it goes well on monday, let us know!
jpeg I've not tried smep before but it seems very logical so hoping it works! I've ordered 50 cheapy OPKs from amazon for about a fiver, think they are called One Step or something, They should arrive in time!
seahawk it's never too early for symptom spotting around these parts haha!

Sorry to hear that spreadontoast it sounds like you are being very positive though.
Good luck kellz - exciting!
I'm feeling a bit weird and sick but think it is most likely jet lag as it's way to early for any symptoms!

Sorry af arrived spreadontoast... Have you done the SMEP before? I'm going to give it a try this month when af ends! Also... What ovulation tests do people use? I have some of the clearblue digital ones but don't think I can afford to keep buying those!

Hello all, can I hop on please? Ttc #2, cycle 2. I'm 38. Etd 25th may.

Only had 2 period since ds arrived and they were 40 days apart, prev cycles were 24 days so I am hoping for slightly shorter this time. It's hard to know when to aim for with dtd though. We don't get much chance with ds 9months!

Well AF is here with full force now! Trying to focus on the next fertile window now. Ordered OPK and preggo tests in bulk from amazon so they should be here in time for SMEP starting.
sunny I don't mind a good bit of truth so don't worry about sounding negative. Rational is best!

prosecco way way too early to test, save yourself the stress and wait until next Monday!!

spread I have had random months where I've spotted before AF and some months when I didn't. I did also spot the month I got my BFP but it was never red. To be honest if you've had a BFN at 13dpo (and you're sure of your dates) I'd be 99% sure you're not pregnant and it's the start of AF. Sorry if that sounds like I'm being overly negative! I've just done the whole false hope thing before when I was trying for DS and I found it heartbreaking. So I'd much rather be rational about it all. But it's nothing to do with me, so POAS if it will make you feel better and I will 100% keep my fingers crossed for you!!

spreadontoast if it's no heavier in the morning, POAS with FMU. I know people find BFNs disappointing, but I can totally convince myself I'm pg unless I do a test. Spotting sounds promising so good luck!!!

Something weird is going on with me, I got BFNs up to 13 dpo and gave up so been expecting AF today or tomorrow. This morning I started with mild brown spotting so just thought AF was here. It's turning slightly red now it's later in the day. There isn't much in volume though. Had pad on all day and hardly a mark on it, only really anything there when I wipe. I'm starting to wonder if it's not AF and is something else???

prosecco it might be to early to show a BFP so I would leave it a few days. How many dpo are you? I'd try about 10dpo. Easy for me to say obviously ha!

It's up to you Proseccokiss will you be upset if it's a BFN?? I tested 4 days before my period was due though when I got pregnant (MC time) an it was clearly positive! Good luck!

Hi all - just a quick Q! AF is due Saturday and I'm getting really impatient, will tomorrow be too early to test? Thanks xx

Welcome jpeg sorry to hear about your MC

Can I join??

Name: jpeg28
Age: 28
TTC: #1
Cycle: 3 ( first was Jan, then had a MC in March so this is cycle #1 since then)
Cd3
ETD: around 22nd may I think!

Thanks sunny I've worked out I'm on CD17 so ETD will be about 10 May. I have a big work trip the week before so should help the time go quickly but a bit worried as there's normally a lot of drinking on these trips. I might just have a few to avoid speculation on why I'm not drinking but not go mad just in case. Good luck to everyone, fingers crossed for lots of BFPs!

Well done for keeping our stats sorted sunny. extra goodies for you.

Oops it's agnus not Angus isn't it?! Oh well I love it whatever it's called!

Hey sunny I'm only off the implant in late Nov so those are my only two full cycle lengths since. Didn't have AF on implant and been on some form of bc since 16 so no idea about my body. Hoping it was just my cycles sorting themselves but last month was longer than the month before so got on the Angus castus without taking any chances! Weirdly if I don't get a BFP I'll just be chuffed when AF arrives at a normal ish time!
