Anyone TTC May

Hi Ladies,

I was hopeful this month but can feel signs of AF creeping up and due in a couple of days..

I'm not too distraught as we only managed it a couple of times in my fertile week so thought it may be the case this month was a no. Now I am so ready to get annoying AF out of the way and get on the May bus!

Is anyone else in the same boat and hoping next month is the one?

I am taking folic and vitamin D at the moment but I'm going to add DHA and co-q10 as well as I've heard v good things.

Good luck to those going for May... it's my birthday in May too and I've asked for a baby 😂

I'm 10dpo today obviously tested again this morning and was negative. Had 3 cps and typical this time now I have been told I will have the progesterone pessaries to try once I get a bfp I guarantee It won't be that easy to get pregnant again!

My cycle is unknown but I had a positive OPK yesterday! Does that mean I'm 1 DPO today?
We did the BD yesterday 😄
Also, just learning all these acronyms 😂 anyone want to be my CB?!
I'm here to anonymously release some craziness as TTC has released the crazy lady in me 😃
Anyone else having secret encouraging conversations with their vajayjay?! No? Oh....

CD1 for me today! I've got three apps all predicting wildly different ovulation days due to my slightly unpredictable cycle. Will be relying on opks (and charting them on premom for the first time) to try and get our timings right.

Does anyone else check their calendars around FW to make sure they don't schedule anything strenuous that would distract from extra BDing? 😀

tierneytarny · 09/05/2021 22:21

I’m in! CD3 and expecting to ovulate on 20th. Waiting on some CB OPKs arriving.

HereIfYouNeedMe · 09/05/2021 22:16

Hey everyone! I'm in the TWW but frer showing BFN. AF due Wednesday so I think I'll be out and can try again the week after! We've had to hold off TTC for 3 months after an ectopic in December treated with medical management. This is baby #2. Good luck to everyone 😊 xx

80sPadme · 09/05/2021 22:00

I'm in for May but have so much on I really don't think we will have time for TTC actively. I'll say I'm out for May but tentatively keep my toes dipped in if no one minds.
I'll probably get to CD10 and change my mind lol

@Kipkay35

Hi everyone! Month 8 here TTC #1 and AF due next Saturday. I have sore boobs but trying not to think about it as I know I'll be extra disappointed if AF comes. My husband said they're probably sore because I keep squeezing them to see if they're sore Blush This month I wrote a 'what I'm grateful for' list, and on occasion when I'm feeling down about TTC I read it to try and put everything is perspective. It's actually helping!
Ohhh this is such a nice idea! I might have to do this x
80sPadme · 09/05/2021 11:39

AF is tearing her head I think so I'm may-be on the May-baby bus. 🙄

@SaraSS Hi! I'm similar to you.. baby no 3 for me though. I have no idea what my cycle is doing this time round x

SaraSS · 08/05/2021 21:33

Hi ladies Smile can I join? I'm TTC #1.. just learning the lingo and how it all works 😂
My cycle is a mess so no idea when I'm ovulating yet, so far I've had a few very faint positive tests and a BFN today 😩
Also trying to track ovulation but nothing showing yet!

Fiep · 08/05/2021 12:37

Welcome :)

@taytay2020 Hi! Thanks

taytay2020 · 08/05/2021 11:50

Hi everyone, can I join? Just got a BFN and I think I'm 15dpo. AF due any time now. I'm hoping May is the month for us! This will be my 4th cycle ttc#1.

Losd · 08/05/2021 06:51

Just tested again-15dpo and it looks negative but under certain light and with some serious squinting I can see the faintest line ever.....like I mean so faint i can’t even describe it. So even if it is a true positive I wouldn’t hold my breath for this being viable as hcg should be higher at this stage. Fully expect period to start this weekend, if not I’ll ask GP for a blood test x

Fiep · 07/05/2021 19:15

Incidentally AF was due today and hasn’t come, but my cycles aren’t super regular. BFN on what should be 15 dpo is bound to be a neg though so I’m 99% certain :(((

Fiep · 07/05/2021 19:14

Oh no @Losd really hope it wasn’t an evap. The false hope is so harsh :((((

I had an evap line this cycle and then glaring white BFNs every day since so I think I have to accept it’s a no.

Losd · 07/05/2021 18:39

@charlotte0808 yeah but at 14dpo I think it should be a darker line than what I had this morning, and at least a faint line in afternoon. I’ll test again in morning but not getting hopes up...af might arrive by then anyway! X

@Msd2416 honestly I think you'll be fine.. do it in the morning if you can be bothered and even the day after. I have been doing it on my two smiley face days and I think I need to do it the day or two after as well so that's the plan! Good luck xSmile

@Msd2416 Are you using the 2 most fertile days ovulation sticks? Usually it pinpoints 2 of your most fertile days when you get a surge. Your app might be slightly out which you can update logging your details. Did you get a smiley face yesterday? It not you will probably have another tomorrow and the day after is usually when you are due to ovulate. Keep a look out for egg white cm and any twinges of ovulation pain to confirm and get bonking for the next few days 😂 x

@Msd2416

Just wanted to see if anyone uses clear blue ovulation tests? I’ve never used them before and I’ve got the smiley face. Does this mean It’s my peak day or I have a few days? My app says I’m only ovulating on Monday so I’m confused and I binned the box and instructions!
When u get the smiley face I believe that means you will ovulate in the next 24-48 hours.
charlotte0808 · 07/05/2021 17:57

@Losd wouldn't the morning urine year be more accurate that the afternoon one? 🤞

charlotte0808 · 07/05/2021 17:56

Thank you @Losd so obviously too early for me to test. I've had awful itchy nipples and gone dry is that a symptom? Also a lot of creamy discharge leg cramps
