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.

@EsmeSusanOgg I see a faint line! Hopefully it's the start of BFP for you!

EsmeSusanOgg · 16/05/2022 13:53

Ok, I was going to wait a day or two. But I feel super queasy today. Does this look like a faint line?

@Mummyme87 theres ages where our bodies shift slightly , the new us 😂 this past month I had such tender sore nipples when I got out the bath around 8 dpo a towel was sore on them . Meant nothing never had that before but will add to the list of normals . Feel like just carrying on never testing and waiting for a baby to birth on the loo then saying oh I didn’t notice 😂😂😂😂

Hopefulprincess · 16/05/2022 09:52

@EsmeSusanOgg I see it!
@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing yes it’s textbook for progesterone either way it’s going to end but people get excited thinking implant time . Hope your levels come back ok . Really is a rollercoaster especially when first ones were so easy

Hopefulprincess · 16/05/2022 09:50

Urgh I typed a message replying to everyone it didn’t post 🙄
@LemonZestDribbles huge congratulations 🥳
@Cegbee yayyyyy good luck your most fertile now ! I pain is a very good sign of a good burst 😊 after so many losses had all the various types of cycles after it’s a nightmare I know !

Mummyme87 · 16/05/2022 09:48

@Hopefulprincess progesterone symptoms are such a pain. My boobs normally stop hurting about 8-9dpo, unusual to hurt for so long but probs nothing. Boobs only ever started hurting in LP about a year ago, prior to that never

Hopefulprincess · 16/05/2022 09:33

@Mummyme87 older I get cycles are changing too they were 28 days my entire life but now 26 spot on . After 0 the sore boobs and cramps are strong regardless of pg test result which I never had before pretty much every day from day 3 the boobs and cramps start so guessing signs is pointless you get a tired phase smack bang in the middle too from progesterone which of course is implant stage so gets hopes up for nothing stupid progesterone!!!

Hopefulprincess · 16/05/2022 09:29

I’m out 😩😭😢 negative and spotting now so she’s right on time for tomorrow. Don’t even know when next possible cycle can happen with working away ect I mean it lands on dtd 4/5 days before o so still in but not likely 😒 till July I think Thatl be a year ttc 2 chems 🤷‍♀️ Wel see things can change really hoped this month was the one but 😔older I get the harder it’s getting (early 30s)

Mummyme87 · 16/05/2022 09:03

@Purple29 i asked consultant at work (obs/gynae) if ectopic would make a difference to cycles, she said no and it was more likely me just being a bit older etc 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not sure really. I Ov anywhere between CD11-15, so cycles are between 23-28days long

Purple29 · 16/05/2022 08:49

@Mummyme87 thanks. I'll maybe give it a go then just do my best for times. Hmmmm that's interesting, my cycles have been a bit all over since my ectopic too.

Skylark1990 · 16/05/2022 08:49

Hey all, congratulations to the BFPs! and so sorry to hear about the bFNs 😞

After a month's break from TTC AF arrived for me today so I've started a new thread, 'Hoping for a June BFP 💖🌷💖'. If you're heading into another cycle please do go join me there and we can keep eachother company 💚

Mummyme87 · 16/05/2022 07:59

And I ovulate on a different day every cycle almost, which is new since my ectopic @Purple29

Mummyme87 · 16/05/2022 07:58

@Purple29 yeah within about an hour, it’s not perfect but it gives me what I need

Purple29 · 16/05/2022 07:20

@Mummyme87 so do you just test at the same time every day?

Mummyme87 · 16/05/2022 07:15

I don’t get 4hrs straight sleep here, not because the kids wake me but because I’m so restless at the moment. I do BBT which seems to confirm Ov for me but can’t rely on it much more than that

10dpo today. I have FRERs en route, did an IC this morning, if I squint hard there might be something but not reliably.

boobs still super sore which I don’t think is normal for me, I’m sure it normally settles by 8-9dpo

Purple29 · 16/05/2022 07:07

Looks like im having a more normal cycle this month, last 2 were 23 days. Now on CD26, so af should be due tomorrow or Wednesday. I won't be testing this month as we had a sickness bug so pretty sure we missed the right time.

Not sure what to do about bbt my 2 year old is such an irregular sleeper, sometimes 4 hours straight just doesn't happen!!!

Cegbee · 15/05/2022 22:35

Just wanted to come and say thanks to @Hopefulprincess for pointing out that I could still ovulate. Was losing my mind waiting for AF after MMC in March, I've never done OPKs before but seems like the symptoms I've been having the last few days are actually ovulation rather than pre-menstrual. I didn't have ovulation pain before having a baby so it always confuses me! Looks like I will have a TWW in May after all 🤞🤞🤞

I feel like I'm a bit out of touch with my body now that I'm temping and OPKing. Going on cervix and CM I'd say I'm ovulating today but my twingy pains were on CD12. OPK suggests I'm ovulating today but my BBT was higher today which means I've ovulated already doesn't it? It's all so confusing. I don't believe that the 1.7 OPK was accurate but here we are.

I'm running low on OPKs and I'm considering not getting any more, it's not made the situation any clearer for me. We've DTD once and had two attempts at AI this month. It would have been more because I wanted more but DP has to time taking his tablet impeccably for it to work and some nights it just hasn't happened. Not his fault but it's an added layer of frustration

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing I remember you - sorry to hear you're having such a tough time 💐 TTC can be so disheartening

CD5 of cycle 2. Got my OPKs today and tried one. Had to hide it in case dh thinks it's a pregnancy test and thinks I'm pregnant with that line 😀Looks like I'll be ovulating when I'm on late's at work. Dh said wake him up when I get home at 1am and he'll be game 😂

Peonies94 · 15/05/2022 18:24

@Nyxxie mines usually 9 days too! I use to have really long cycles up to 100 days but last 2 have been normal length, but I’ve been temping so now know LP is actually only 9 days!! I’ve been taking vitamin b6 but I’ll be adding vitamin c next month as I’ve heard people say that too!

Nyxxie · 15/05/2022 18:18

@Peonies94 the last couple of cycles AF has turned up 10DPO so my luteal phase was only 9 days. Cycle before that was 8 days (which was my first natural cycle post pill). How long is yours usually?

I've been taking vitamins C and B6 hoping to extend it a bit. I ovulated a bit earlier than usual so hoping my cycle length stays the same which would mean a longer LP. Well actually I'd prefer a BFP! 🤣
