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.

Hi everyone

Sorry, I said hello a few weeks ago and then ducked out! I thought I was due to ovulate last Thursday and had planned to test on the 5th but based on a really sore left ovary last Tuesday and some boob pain for the following week, I think I've ovulated a few days early, so planning to test this Sunday instead. I think at that point I'll be 12DPOish as I don't think I could wait much longer🤞🏻🤣

@allthingssparkly I don't follow bbt as only my first cycle but I hope you get your BFP x

allthingssparkly · 28/04/2022 16:19

Any ladies that BBT does my chart look promising?

9dpo today, AF due 2nd May.

Was thinking of testing this weekend.

Thank you @LemonZestDribbles 💚

My dh still thinks we could be in with a chance this month, so I guess I’m not out yet till af shows up!

I’m 8/9 dpo so af should turn up in the next 2 days, I think. My last 3 cycles since mmc my LP has been quite short. Between 9/10 days but I’ve been taking vit C and B to try and lengthen it abit.

yay for ov being near, the fun part!

LemonZestDribbles · 28/04/2022 12:08

@MangoLipstick I'm so sorry for your mmc ❤ That's ashame about this cycle. Hopefully he's up and at them for next cycle

@tineys I can see!

@Willow1982 here's to May 🤞

@3rdtimelucky2022 sorry about your mc ❤

Getting closer to ov day now!

lyra12 · 28/04/2022 11:56

This is my chart from when I caught with my DD. You’re right slow BBT rise there too! Phew.

Gosh not day 23 ... April 23rd 😂

I would say you ovulated 23rd with a slow bbt rise after!

Alicew00 · 28/04/2022 11:05

Constantly hungry all of a sudden haha. I'm in between wanting to lose a few pounds but also wanting to get pregnant! AF is due in 9 or 10 days depending how it goes sInce my coil was removed.

lyra12 · 28/04/2022 10:39

So day 23 was the day I’ve assumed I ovulated - but as you can see temp doesn’t jump until day 26... but it still rose slightly the next day. Do you think actually I ovulated day 25? My LH peak was day 22! WHY IS THIS STUFF SO CONFUSING 🤯😂

@Izzyboo1234 hope everything goes ok, think it’s normal to be nervous 🍀

Cherrymarket · 28/04/2022 09:41

Period has ended now so the fun begins! Feeling a bit nervous. Is anyone else testing quite late in may? I’m not due to ovulate until mid may!

Izzyboo1234 · 27/04/2022 22:26

Sorry guys I have been MIA. I have been reading all of the updates and I wish everyone well in the new cycles.
sorry for the losses 😢 I cannot begin to imagine the heartbreak!
life has been busy but not feeling massively different yet. We’re going for a reassurance scan next week as things feel different this time around - may be I am over worrying 🤷‍♀️

Mummyme87 · 27/04/2022 18:27

Oooh yes I see that line @tineys that’s super exciting after such a long ride. I would get a FRER for tomorrow, and probs a clear blue

3rdtimelucky2022 · 27/04/2022 18:25

Hello all!

Im back in the game! Haven’t posted since the first page of this thread as I had a missed miscarriage and was just waiting on first period but it finally arrived. Hoping this is a normal cycle and I ovulate so can give it another shot.

@tineys i definitely can see the start of a line there! Do fmu test tomorrow and give us an update :) will keep fingers crossed!

@CoffeePlease89 @Mummyme87 I’m in a similar position and trying for a 3rd with a 5 and 3 year old already. We were pretty sure we would stick at 2 until a year ago when we got a bit broody again. We said we’d see how it goes and if it doesn’t happen easily then stop at 2. Since then I had a missed miscarriage and now I want a 3rd even more! I’m actually underweight but that’s equally bad for fertility so I need to work on that!

Willow1982 · 27/04/2022 17:40

Hi ladies, hoping it’s ok to join you here, TTC #1, after MC March last year, CD 30 spotting today which always leads to AF, so on to May we go!! Been driving myself so crazy today with false hope!! Good luck to all xx🍀

tineys · 27/04/2022 17:27

Hello everyone :) have just read through all your stories, mind if I join?

I've been off contraception for 3 years and actively trying for a good chunk and no luck yet. Currently 12dpo and getting a few 'symptoms', aching boobs etc. Don't normally test as find it too disappointing but something feels a little different this month. Test from this afternoon, not sure if it's an evap line that's catching my eye (or none haha), should have probably waited to use fmu!

I have my fingers crossed for all of us 🤞

allthingssparkly · 27/04/2022 15:26

Oh no @TeddyBeans fingers crossed for your next cycle 🤞

Is anyone testing this weekend? 😊

MangoLipstick · 27/04/2022 13:13

Hi all,
just jumping over from the April thread.
I’m 7 or 8 dpo but pretty confident I’m out. We didn’t dtd near ovulation day, dh wasn’t well and I was not going try it on. I don’t tell him about ov days, I try to keep some mystery 🤭

Once af arrives , it will be cycle 4 of ttc.
(cycle 12 if I don’t include my mmc in Jan at 12 weeks)

Good luck everyone x

LemonZestDribbles · 27/04/2022 11:57

@TeddyBeans it only takes one hanging about. Fingers crossed 🤞

@CoffeePlease89 would be much easier if he just went yes let's do this!

@PeanuttyButter oooh 🤞🤞🤞 it must feel like an age though

@lottieb92 love that - test pic on the beach or more cocktails. Either sounds amazing 😍

Cd11 here opks still faint. This cycle feels like 100 years

lottieb92 · 26/04/2022 22:43

Hi all, back again 😂 Cycle 7 for me.. Baby #2
CD7 and I have been ovualting around CD17/18.. Back on the OPKs and trying hard this month with more vitamins and diet related.. Which should be easy as we have our first holiday for ages. So praying I can get a nice pregnancy test snap on the beach at the end of the month.. If not more margaritas for me xx

PeanuttyButter · 26/04/2022 21:57

Started my progesterone today and as a result the tww has suddenly slowed right down haha. I ovulated Saturday I think and it being the weekend the time has flown until now. I've got cheapies to pee on as much as I like so will probably start 7dpo (even though I won't see anything). Got a frer for 12dpo and if that negative will probably stop the progesterone so AF can come. Only issue I have is that my nipples are so so sensitive right now, which isn't usually a good thing for me at this stage

TeddyBeans · 26/04/2022 21:48

@allthingssparkly we only DTD twice during my FW and neither of them were around what would probably have been my peak (I didn't take any tests with me when we went to Alton towers and it was negative when we got home) and I just don't have that feeling that it might be possible this month. And I'm still useless at using the fertilily which doesn't help matters

CoffeePlease89 · 26/04/2022 21:07

@LemonZestDribbles @TeddyBeans
Thank you both for your replies. I have had these discussions with my partner and he has put up with years of my Generalised Anxiety Disorder so I always think of the worst possible outcome! He has said I am overthinking things and he thinks we would manage, he would quite like another but at the same time he would understand if I didn't want to and wants me to do what makes me happy as he's perfectly fine with 2. Really annoying when he's so laid back and it's down to me 😂

@Mummyme87 thanks. I'm so envious at how you know 100% and wish I was like this. I really do wish you all the luck in the world with a BFP soon xx

allthingssparkly · 26/04/2022 21:00

How come you think your out this cycle @TeddyBeans? x
