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 all
can I join? Casually trying for #2 this month (first month). Will be testing fairly late compared to a lot of you as I am currently waiting this April period, probably testing around the 24th may.
Good luck to all those waiting to test! And congratulations @Izzyboo1234!

SearchingTheSkies · 24/04/2022 19:58

Congratulations @Izzyboo1234 such exciting times! How are you feeling?

Hope everyone’s had a good weekend. I’m in the tww now so I just know time is about to slow down dramatically!

xFictionx · 24/04/2022 16:08

Same here. 1 year ttc for #2. Don't understand what's going on. Very disheartening. Feeling like you can never get your hopes up yet still trying not to get upset when period comes. :(

QueenBee22 · 24/04/2022 16:01

@Izzyboo1234 congratulations! Great news. Had you tested negative before your missed period?

Izzyboo1234 · 24/04/2022 15:52

Hey guys,
how is everyone?
The last few days have been bizarre, still no af so went out and brought yet another digital. It came back positive 🤷‍♀️ Over the moon but also very early days so trying not to get too excited.
I hope everyone gets there BFP soon, this conception malarkey can be cruel.

@ThePodParent two under 2 (or close to it) will be a great for being close ❤

@PeanuttyButter you've been through loads. Hopefully next time will be easier

@MissBlue93 welcome! I still can't believe the indent you had. Really thought it was a positive

@RBSK1 sounds promising 🤞

@kizzy97 a late period is just cruel :(

Flo is telling me that FW starts tomorrow 😬🤞

I know I'm gutted. However if I get pregnant this cycle baby would be due in partners birthday! My daughter was born on my birthday (different father) so would be fun if it happened and he said he'd love that. Baby dust to us all 🌟

Hi, jumping on from April thread as af caught me today 4 days late 😭😭 ttc #2 and been trying since October 😭😭

Catred4 · 24/04/2022 09:47

Sorry @Harriet669 meant to tag @MissBlue93 below 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank you! I've got Flo and Premom for tracking. Last month I think I ovulated around CD 16/17 but I may start tracking from CD10 perhaps. I usually get egg white cm for a few days which is my indicator!

RBSK1 · 24/04/2022 09:51

4dpo for me. Been trying for #2 since September where DD turned 1. Fingers crossed. Getting lots of cramps and back pain I don't normally have so who knows. Could be psychological but 🤷🏻‍♀️

PeanuttyButter · 24/04/2022 09:47

@Catred4 let the tww begin 🤞

Welcome @Harriet669, I normally start testing from CD12 but I don't normally ovulate until CD18. If you don't mind wasting some tests, it wouldn't hurt to test sooner - CD7 should be fine I reckon. What app will you be using to track your bbt and tests?

@PeanuttyButter sorry to hear of your tough journey, looks like we'll be testing a similar time - I got peak opk this morning x

Hi everyone, I've not been on the thread for a while, my app hasn't been working. I'm CD17 today and have got a positive opk this morning. I haven't seen my husband since Wednesday morning and he's coming back tonight so hopefully we've not missed it! My bbt hasn't risen yet, so hopefully we can get there just in time!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing really sorry about your bfns, really had my fingers crossed for you after the faint line on the internet cheapie, exactly the same thing happened to me last month. It's so frustrating.

Hi can I join? I'm on CD1 2nd cycle TTC baby number 3 (my partners 1st) we just had a horrible few days of false positives/evaps on a few brands especially FRER!

This month I've got easy@home ovulation strips and a BBT thermometer coming tomorrow. My apps are estimating my fertile window will start in the next 7-10 days so when should I start testing? As I know it can vary each month!

Harriet669 · 24/04/2022 07:58

CD15 and still no peak on OPK, done them twice a day for the past 3/4 days and then every day since CD5 as irregular just to be sure!

@TeddyBeans do think your peak was when you were away? may still be in a chance!

@PeanuttyButter sorry for your losses, sounds like an incredibly tough 12 months! Here's to hoping this is your cycle 🤞🏼

PeanuttyButter · 23/04/2022 21:39

Hi all I feel like I'm jumping on this thread late but at the same time I'm due to test with a FRER on 3rd May. Thinking il be 10dpo by then as got my peak on opk yesterday. I've had 4 losses in the last 12 months.. pregnant for a total of 32 weeks in all. Currently on cycle day 19 but I bled for the first 11 days as I've just had a pregnancy of unknown location resolve itself at 6weeks. I should ovulate based on that opk. We've dtd at the times we usually do just need to see if my body is ready for it.

Hoping for BFP in May
TeddyBeans · 23/04/2022 19:24

Hi all, checking back in after a 2 day trip to Alton towers for mini man's birthday. Didn't take any OPKs with me but pretty sure I missed peak as my one this morning was clearly negative so we're not looking good for this month.

Going to go catch up on the thread now! ✨✨

QueenBee22 · 22/04/2022 20:23

Ah okay I have had chicken pox as a child but it is good to know anyway. Thank you.

Organictangerine · 22/04/2022 20:21

QueenBee22 · 22/04/2022 20:16

@Organictangerine I was thinking of getting the chickenpox vaccine for my toddler but we are ttc. Should I wait?

I think I’m going to sit this cycle out to be on the safe side, although I’m not sure if that applies to pregnant women in general or just ones who haven’t had chicken pox 🥴

@LemonZestDribbles She’ll be 13 months next week 💕I’d love to have a ‘2 under 2’ age gap so hoping to catch a bub in the next couple of months (obvs really fine if not, but a girl can dream!). 💭

LemonZestDribbles · 22/04/2022 19:27

@ThePodParent welcome! Sorry about the blighted ovum. Hopefully this is your month. What age is your dc?

@Skylark1990 a relaxed approach does seem good but it's also so hard to switch your mind off when we've learnt so much about our bodies now

@Organictangerine that's really tough :( I've no idea on the jabs. Definitely what you feel comfortable with

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing sorry about the negative :(
