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.

Well the cramps have started this afternoon, with AF due on Thursday I think it's safe to say it's not happened this month.

I must've had line eyes on my test yesterday.

Baby dust for all of you waiting to test xx

Joining here for May currently on CD2 and still feeling down about Aprils BFN but hoping for some luck this month.
Downloaded the Flo app this morning to track my cycle. Going to try to be less ‘obsessive’ about conceiving this month but I doubt that will happen

Baby dust for all

Hello @Purple29 yes this is the one I bought from Amazon it was around the £16 mark, no issues with it it's super simple to use too!

I upload the readings onto the Pre Mom app 😊

@allthingssparkly can I ask what thermometer you use. I bought a cheap one and it's a bit all over the place. Said I was past 39 one day then 35 the next. So it's really confusing. Also what app do you chart on? 🤞 for you

CRJ · 02/05/2022 12:09

Ladies

Anyone else feeling SO tired and generally exhausted. I feel like my whole body aches and a bit of motion nausea too.

Also been having strange cramps in lower tummy, lower back is stiff and sore and just generally feel so run down. Almost like I have a hangover.

I know a lot of signs are pointing towards potentially being pregnant, but starting to loose the will TTC. Has anyone else started panicking thinking it's never going to happen? Or that there's something wrong with them?

Tested this morning with a one step and BFN. I think I'm about 7dpo.

Steph149 · 02/05/2022 09:32

@RBSK1 so sorry to hear that, you’re not out until af shows though!
I'm the same today, negative on frer. I’m going to try not to test until Thurs/Fri now

curliegirlie · 02/05/2022 09:04

Well, looks like AF has turned up super early on CD26, but at least that gives us another shot in May….

I feel a bit deflated as we gave it a really good shot this month (school holidays and annual leave meant more opportunities/less tiredness for action!), BUT on the other hand I never caught a positive OPK so not that surprising that this cycle has turned out a bit weird. On the positive side at least I can enjoy the wine flight at the posh restaurant we’ve got booked later this month!

TeddyBeans · 02/05/2022 08:48

Ooh @Catred4 looking good! Keep us posted 🤞

Cherrymarket · 02/05/2022 08:31

@RBSK1 sorry it was a negative, but as they say you aren’t out til AF x

allthingssparkly · 02/05/2022 08:31

Thank you @Cherrymarket 🤞 it's my first cycle BBT alongside OPK's 🤍

Cherrymarket · 02/05/2022 08:29

@Catred4 ooh how exciting! it definitely seems like a line, does it have colour? is that a one step?

@allthingssparkly that looks a very positive chart! 🍀

allthingssparkly · 02/05/2022 08:12

Hi @Cherrymarket I'm doing okay, felt a little sick earlier but it seems to be easing now. Hope you are ok, I'm testing tomorrow if AF doesn't make an appearance 🤞

RBSK1 · 02/05/2022 08:11

Took another cheapie this morning and a definite BFN. Feeling very deflated, down and weepy the last few days, this morning especially. Which isn't like me when AF is on her way but you never know. Resigned myself to the fact it's probably not happened this month!
We'll see on Thursday if we have anything more positive to share Sad

I caved and tested at 8dpo, super early. But got this?! I'm not sure if the line is too thin to be a positive but it came up straight away 🤷‍♀️

Hi @allthingssparkly how are you?
I missed your message as my toddler was demanding more breakfast.

hope you’ve got a nice bank hol planned. We are off swimming!

HansBanans · 02/05/2022 08:03

Morning! Feeling a bit deflated this morning, starting to get quite crampy so think AF is on her way ☹️ fingers crossed for your next test @RBSK1

Cherrymarket · 02/05/2022 08:01

@RBSK1 let us know how the next test goes!

I am coming into fertile week, not sure we will manage to dtd but what will be will be!

allthingssparkly · 02/05/2022 07:53

Morning, How is everyone? 😊 x

TeddyBeans · 01/05/2022 23:14

@Purple29 rotten luck 😔 hope you feel better quickly! 💐

RBSK1 · 01/05/2022 12:15

I'm convinced there's a faint line there, it's supposed to be a plus if it's positive.
Partner isn't convinced. I will retest in a few days anyway but tell me I'm not seeing things

RBSK1 · 01/05/2022 12:03

@Steph149 after reading the last few days I'm gonna take a sneaky one now 👀😂

If it's bfn, I'm gonna wait until Thursday to see if AF arrives. Yeah I've been the same with symptoms, I'm usually breezing through each month with no cramps until a few days before, but had horrendous pains from cd13-cd19
