CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

@MissBlue93 go by cm Incase you have a short surge then the tests won’t pick it up

That's what I was thinking, we BD twice today but not yesterday as we both felt so rough with covid. Will keep testing just incase it's a late surge and see what happens with my BBT as well!

I'm out ladies, AF arrived last night while I was at a wedding - rude!! I was pretty sure that it was going to happen because of all the BFNs! We go again I guess!

Me too :( was at a wedding last night when mine came, so I’m out this month

fingers crossed everyone gets their bfp though !

I haven't been charting anything this time since we all got a sickness bug right at the start of my FW.
Have to say, this is the most fun me and DH have had in a while. Loads of dtd but no thoughts of methods or babies, probably missed the window but so good to reconnect with him!! Feels like the honeymoon phase!!

Bluelightbaby · 08/05/2022 21:31

Me too :( AF arrived last night whilst at a wedding :( hopefully next month…..fingers crossed for the rest of you for this month

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 08/05/2022 17:28

Cd26 of 28 day cycle. No AF yet but I think I missed trying around ovulation anyway. No symptoms whatsoever so I guess I'll wait for AF to surprise me.

@Organictangerine counting the seconds!! I'm going to have to steer myself away from shops this week because I know if I buy a test I'll break and take it the same day!!

Same! My finger was hovering over the button to buy FRER from Amazon prime but I knew if they arrived tomorrow I would take one at 8dpo 🤦🏼‍♀️ and probably be disappointed. So I’m going to order them Thursday 🤞🏻

Hey ladies, I'm usually a 28 day cycle but it looks like I'm still not ovulating yet. Yesterday when I wiped there was a load of EWCM and it was like jelly. Barely had any since but all OPKs negative. We have barely BD because we both tested positive for covid 😭 these are my OPKS the last few days. Before that they were all negative too. Could it be possible I'm just not quite there yet? All my apps are saying I should of ovulated between 6th and the next few days. None are the same! Last month I didn't track with OPKs or BBT so not sure when I ovulated but had loads of EWCM so think it was around CD15/16. Today I'm CD15 x

@Catred4 I'm out too, AF arrived literally after I sent that message earlier, feeling gutted as I thinks it's too late for a breakthrough/implantation bleed 😢

@salia12345678910 could you share your chart? Would be interesting to see, certainly sounds promising although the negative tests are really weird. I follow a method that suggests 18 high temps in a row is mostly likely pregnancy unless there's anything causing the high temps like fevers etc x

@Hopefulprincess thank you! I thought that but then remember someone saying that's not actually true! Didn't get to dtd last night as DP was too tired after work but I'll still keep trying over the next few days just in case I ovulate late, I'll be testing on the 22nd when af due if she dosen't turn up and then my birthday is on the 25th so would be an amazing birthday present!

Hi all, hope everyone's well and is on the road to getting their BFP 🤞🏻
Was just wondering if I could get some insight on my current situation, I'm now 15dpo, have been bbt charting throughout the month & temps are still consistently high, sore breasts a few days ago which seem to be abit settled now, however I have been having acid reflux/bloating type symptoms in the evenings since the past few days, today I have woken up with AF like cramps/abdominal pain but no signs of AF, have taken 4 pregnancy tests since 11dpo but all negative on first response early detection! 🥺 what's the longest a person's leutral phase can be?

@Organictangerine @Hopefulprincess cramps stopped today but woke up with metallic taste! How are you guys doing today?? X

Ah! It’s all heading in the right direction!

im ok thanks, having a lazy morning with DD, night garden is on & toys everywhere! My cramps have also stopped, just a waiting game now I guess… 6 days til test day 🗓

TeddyBeans · 08/05/2022 09:58

@SweetPeaPods congratulations on your BFP! I think you're looking for a due Jan 23 thread though. This one's for TTC ❤️

Hi everyone
tentatively joining, Bfp means dc3 due 17th Jan. ds1 is 9 and ds2 is 7 so bit of an age gap. Obsessively checking pants for blood every time I go for a wee atm.

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 20:46

@mummyofrb sounds promising 🤞🤞 eeeeek

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 20:45

@kizzy97 your still in with a chance absolutely sperm lives 5 days inside so Youv got a few days in there 😌 even if you don’t tonight Youv still done it

mummyofrb · 07/05/2022 19:36

@Organictangerine yess!! I am due to start af on Saturday so will be testing then!! I tested early last cycle and was just more upsetting to get the bfn more than af starting. I also think I need to wee more often but I'm aware that I'm symptom spotting so don't know if it's in my head🤣🤣 let's keep each other updated through the week!!

Sooo I'm now about 8dpo (I think🥴) been running round all day with my daughter and just started noticing really light pulling/cramping!!! Hoping sooo much it could be implantation I'm still a week off from period due! Going to have to keep myself away from tests this week!! Anyone have any thoughts on if this is positive sign???

I had this today as well, which is unusual for me - I’m 5dpo. It felt like mild period pains with one ovary squeezing if that makes sense?! Weird.

I’m also having the mild dizziness I had with DD!

Testing next weekend when I will be 12dpo - anyone else?
