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.

@Organictangerine

My only reservation is that a January birthday is a bit shit (according to DH who has one!) And the thought of loooong dark nights with a newborn doesn’t appeal! But I don’t want to wait any longer!
My eldest daughters birthday (and mine) are in January. Yer it’s a bit rubbish and lots of combined presents lol

But like you I don’t want to wait :)

Would love a BFP in May ! Third child but first two from a previous marriage are 17&15 !
Not sure of all the acronyms on here, but we’ve been trying since February, on last day of period today so hopefully this month it may happen 🤞🏻🤞🏻

LemonZestDribbles · 17/04/2022 12:34

AF arrived so I'm happy for cd1. I'm sure I won't be as excited in a few weeks when I'm checking every symptom 🤣

Happy chocolate day to those you celebrate

@TeddyBeans Thank you and Good luck to you too ⭐⭐⭐

Hopefully we see some BFP tests in May 🤍🤍🤍

TeddyBeans · 17/04/2022 07:56

Successfully DTD last night for the first time since Jan 🥳🥳 it was probably too early given I'm now CD12 and premom says I'm only 0.13 this morning (loving POAS even more now) Hopefully we can get a better mix of natural and AI this month.

@allthingssparkly sounds promising! Good luck! ✨

@Smcai welcome aboard! It always sucks when AF appears early but it just means you're that much closer to being able to try again 😊 good luck! ✨

Hi all,
Feel like it's time to join in and chat to others TTC. It's CD2 for us and this will be our 6th cycle TTC for our first. AF arrived a week early this cycle, getting my hopes up for IB but no such luck. Feeling pretty deflated today when it turned out to be AF but hopeful that our time will come soon. Good luck to everyone TTC 😀 hopefully this is our month.

allthingssparkly · 16/04/2022 20:53

They can go from low to high readings within a matter of hours or days @TeddyBeans so keep a close eye, especially if your entering your FW.

I've had some egg white type mucus this afternoon, so just going to crack on and BD over the next few days I think to cover bases! My OPK's are still indicating as low readings but things can change quick.

Good luck 🤞🤞🤞🤞

TeddyBeans · 16/04/2022 20:47

@allthingssparkly this is witchcraft! Thank you so much! Premom states my test this evening is low at 0.11 😂 I feel like this could take a while

LemonZestDribbles · 16/04/2022 18:13

@HansBanans good luck in your first cycle 🤞🤞🤞

HansBanans · 16/04/2022 18:12

Hey

Can I join please? Smile we are on cycle 1 ttc our first and hoping to test around 4 May

allthingssparkly · 16/04/2022 11:14

Is your device Android? I had the same probably initially @TeddyBeans and I downloaded the app through the website via Google, you should be able to do it that way 😊

TeddyBeans · 16/04/2022 10:54

@allthingssparkly premom isn't available on Google play store so unfortunately I can't access it Sad I'll test again later though, thanks for the info!

allthingssparkly · 16/04/2022 07:51

Morning @TeddyBeans are you inputting images of your OPK's into Pre Mom app? I think it can happen gradually were they go from low, high to peak readings or they can go straight from low to peak readings it's good to test twice a day from CD11 so that you don't miss the surge. Good luck, sharing this journey as I'm CD11 today too!

TeddyBeans · 16/04/2022 07:09

Morning all! CD11 and my OPK seems marginally darker than yesterday. Still obviously negative though. Anyone know how quickly they turn positive?

LemonZestDribbles · 15/04/2022 21:30

@Organictangerine I'm also patiently waiting af so I can get started. Very excited to be ttc again. Hoping it shows up over the weekend

Organictangerine · 15/04/2022 20:44

I’m CD23 🙄 hurry upppppp period
I want that exciting pregnancy test feeling!
How are you all getting on?

Hjudge56 · 14/04/2022 14:59

Anyone around 3DPO?

LemonZestDribbles · 14/04/2022 14:21

@Harriet669 yay on starting the opks. I love waiting for the surge before the dreaded tww kicks in 🤣

Organictangerine · 14/04/2022 12:07

CD 22 here, interested to see how long this cycle will be as they’ve been fluctuating a bit lately between 25 and 29 days. Need to get this period out the way so we can start trying!

Harriet669 · 14/04/2022 11:53

@LemonZestDribbles just did my first OPK today as it says start CD5 and then do one every day! Got a scan in a few weeks to see if shines or not, last cycle it really played up when I think I ovulated, loads of nausea and headaches so hoping this doesn't happen this cycle!

LemonZestDribbles · 14/04/2022 10:35

@ArcEnCiel2022 sorry for your losses x

@Harriet669 that is really irregular! I've not used the femo sticks but I do love their app. That should hopefully help you pinpoint on the longer cycles. Are docs going to do anything with the cyst?

I thought my period would come today as before I was pregnant I only had 7 days between ovulating and af. I came off the pill last month and it was 2 weeks between ovulation and period and my app is predicting the same so I'm hopeful that my short luteal phase has cured itself 🤞

allthingssparkly · 14/04/2022 08:48

Same for me with my OPK this morning @TeddyBeans I have just started them today along with BBT hoping I remember to do that every day as soon as I wake every morning, I do have an alarm set 🤭🤭

Pre Mom app says my fertile window is due to start in two days and my ovulation date being the 21st April but this is based on my LMP and that cycle length. So it will be interesting to see this month whether I do actually ovulate then or if it is different.

Good luck to you too! ⭐

TeddyBeans · 14/04/2022 08:38

@allthingssparkly I'm CD9 too. OPK was negative this morning so will do another one tomorrow. My cycles seem to have dropped from 28 days to 25 in the last couple of months so wanted to make sure I'm actually ovulating when I think I am. Good luck to you! ✨

Harriet669 · 13/04/2022 20:30

@LemonZestDribbles I bought some off Amazon, called Femometer I think and downloaded them app, not feeling very hopeful as periods range from 8 day cycle to 30 day cycle so far this year, they're never been regular but not this regular, think it's due to cyst on my right ovary, thought i would try OPK's to see if I actually ovulate! I had loads of EWCM last cycle when predicted ovulation was so hopeful that means I do ovulate on my longer cycles
