May is an excellent month to have a baby

Well......... I'm finally out

Despite cramps for over a week, af only showed up this morning. 4/5 days late. Grrr. Of course, I was beginning to think maybe something had happened.

Onwards to June

Aw congratulations bigtree - I'm so, so pleased for you. Ditto what twoplease says.

Congrats Bigtree What fantastic news.

Let's hope your good luck spreads!!

Hi everyone...I'm still in shock but delighted as i got 2 BFP'S today!!!!!!!!!!!
Used the all singing all dancing freebee (thanks mumset!)this morning and was so bloody shocked i have never seen a positive result before in my life. Didn't believe it was true so went out and brought a normal cb and another positive!!soooo happy,just hoping the bean sticks!
I will keep an eye on the thread to see how everyone is doing so good luck.
Thank you for such a supportive thread..
love bigtree and bean x x x

Hi

Sorry to hear af got you Mintchoc.

I'm still waiting but I'm 100% sure she's coming. Plus I did another test today and it was an emphatic BFN. Came up straight away. I'm not holding out much hope.

Am now at that stage where I just want af to arrive so I can start again (and move to the June thread )

How's everyone else doing? Or has everyone moved to the late May/June thread?

Hi All,

I'm out I'm afraid. AF arrived tonight so going to hop over to June thread to start all over again. Very best of luck to all those still waiting. Fingers tightly crossed for you all. .

Well I'm now on cd28 (with a pretty regular 28/29 day cycle) and unfortunately, I usually do get af pains for a couple of days before. That's definitely what it feels like. They way I'm cramping, I'm expecting af later today/tomorrow.

But I guess you never know. If af doesn't appear by Friday I'll test then or on Saturday. I would have thought that the cb (being so sensitive) would have picked anything up on cd26.

Anyway, can you tell that I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst but secretly hoping that some pesky little swimmer has hung on in there for a few days?

HOw is everyone else holding out? Any symptoms? Testing?

Ripmac it's still sooo early for testing. I'm the same cd as you and am trying stay strong and will not test till sun if no af. So wait till the weekend and test again. It's early to be getting af pains too,do you normally get them that early before af?i start with af pains the moment i come on but i've been getting them today on and off and i'm not due for another week so am wondering if something is going on aarrrghhh!!!must not test must not test!!

Twoplease i may defrost my fridge with you! x

Oh RipVW - so sorry! we have all been there - you still have a few days to go though so hang on in there!

maybe we should think of activities to do to avoid testing. Defrosting the fridge would eb a good one!!

Oh for goodness sake, would somebody kick me please? Earlier today, I used my all-singing-all-dancing test. Of course it's a BFN. Think I just wanted to torture myself.

And in a superb twist of fate, I've now got lots of classic pre-af pains.

I'm now feeling super low. Can't even face thinking about the whole thing now.

Off to find chocolate x

Hiya, bit late in the day but could I join too? We decided to start TTC#2 and are currently doing the BD well obviously not right this very minute...AF is due on DD 3rd birthday 16th Sept, which makes me about CD13 I think? Resulting in a very late May baby! Hopefully...DD was a first attempt baby so hoping #2 will be as easy! Good Luck to all of you!

Really pleased for you inni ..
Hi Rip Mac i'm cd 23 too and i am exactly the same have got every symptom going in my head but when i think about it i have none really!
well will know soon enough and if i'm honest i think i'll be joining the others on the June thread..
But on a cheerier note..i have recieved in the post yesterday one of those new pregnancy conception indicator tests they look v good but don't want waste it on a bfn so will prob keep hold of it for a bit..see you all soon as d day looms!!xx

Fantastic news inni

morning all
I had another test done yesterday and within 30 sec got two dark lines. I'm sooooo relieved. I couldn't stop thinking this wasn't right but finally it turned out ok. I still need to make sure with dr that everything is going well. You have such a good support in this moment of stress and thank you all. I wish you all good luck for this cycle and to have a healthy pregnancy.

Ha ha minty - if that was the case then DH would say that I was pre-menstrual all of the time

Feeling really nauseous this afternoon/evening but only on cd23. Surely too early? I think I'm imagining symptoms now. Not a good sign.

Hi RMW,
In the same boat as you I think. Another few days at least before I can test. Had convinced myself that I was having strange niggles last week but reckon I was madly trying to symptom spot.
Am pretty grumpy today so reckon AF may well be on route.
Good luck to all!

Hi Leaky - really sorry to hear about AF's arrival.

Enjoy your holiday, come back refreshed and relaxed (ready for a June baby? )

Hi everyone,

Well my AF has arrived, bang on time. I actually feel ok about it, probably cos I often have the niggling feeling of wondering if going up to 3 kids is a good move for us as a family or not.Actually it's been SO nice to have a day where I've not been constantly thinking 'am I pregnant?'

Off on holiday tomorrow to my mum's in Spain so good luck to all those still waiting....be good to hear about some BFP's

I'll join the June thread now too.

Thanks for your support. I think I'm going let fate decide for a while - if it happens, it happens, if not I have 3 great children and consider myself very very lucky At some point I will stop TTC, but I'm not ready yet.
Best of luck to all of you and if things don't work out please join us over on the June thread I will still be lurking here to check for all the BFP's

Good luck to RipMac and bigtree on your waiting I really wish you get a bfp this time.
Jlo2 I think that if you feel that your family is not complete yet y you can manage your life with one more why not. I think it's beautiful to have a big family. I always say I just want three but as much as I like having children I don't know if I'll stop there. The happiness of having a baby is not measurable to anything else. Good luck to you too.
Hey alfie any hope for you this months are in your 2ww?

Hi all..
Well cd20 for me..trying not to symptom spot but its hard isn't it..
The only one i've got up to yet is (sorry in advance for tmi but..)i've got an abundance of creamy cm!never had this much before, it has soaked through my underwear today
and i feel constantly wet down there it's gross! Am really hoping thats a good sign as i've read somwhere that lots of cm is an early symptom but i've been let down that many times i'm telling myself its just the clomid again messing me about!

RipMac..it's not over till 'she' arrives and i've
had friends who did not have one symptom before getting there bfp so fingers crossed for you and for everyone else still in the running,to those who are not good luck for next month and maybe i'll see you on the next thread if a May baby is not to be for me x x

JLo2 - glad you had a good holiday and sorry you're out for this month but it sounds like maybe you've had a bit of a reprieve to think things over.

Good luck with whatever you decide - maybe we'll see you on the June thread?

Hi LMM - glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Could be joining you on the June thread shortly

Currently on the 2ww, reckon I'm on CD22 on a 28/29 day cycle so another week to go for me. Nothing to report though - no symptoms. Not a thing. Mind you, last month I had lots of brown stuff with a bright red bleed about 9DPO and still got a BFN so maybe no news is good news

Hope everyone is well - fingers crossed that we can get some more May babies

Hi Ladies,
Im feeling alot better about things now and think it just wasnt meant to be this month. I just wanted to say im now moving onto the June thread and I hope to see some of you on there cos we are surely all due some BFP and some likkle June babies

Good luck to all of you who already have your BFP especially you Inni im sure things will be fine for you just try to relax and enjoy it, i know its hard tho.

Ohh and all enjoy your BD
