May is an excellent month to have a baby

Good morning all and welcome madmarriedNika
Many congrats lou031205, may yours be the first of many BFP's on this thread
I'm feeling very chilled out this month (unlike last month!) although only on CD13, so not up to the stressful waiting bit yet.

Good evening all- may I join you please?
I'm TTC DC3, DD (DC2) is now 13 months old- came off cerazette 3 weeks ago and AF arrived on Friday so I'm CD3 now I think? AF v v heavy so hoping it eases soon
Conceived DC1 & 2 very quickly but won't count my chickens for DC3... Have complicated pregnancies etc. so bit worried about it all but sure we want to go for it...
Unfortunately I am away from my DH during my projected fertile period this month (from CD11-CD19)- sonot going to get my hopes up at all for a May baby...but you never know as not sure what my cycles doing after coming off minipill...

Wishing lots of baby dust for you all x

Thank you. Not completely sure. Did temping (heartily recommend the temping buddies 13 thread) and saliva ferning & OPKs which suggest ovulation on 24th July, but only started temping on 24th, and got BFP on 5th August, which was only 11dpo, if I did ov on 24th.

If that is correct, I would be due 17/04/09, but I haven't had a period since DD2 because I was breastfeeding until 4 weeks ago. I've got the Docs tomorrow, so he will advise.

Great news lou31205 - congrats When are you due then?

Welcome RipMacWInkel - sorry to hear about the mc Hope this is your month.

I've gone way to far with hoping i'm in this month as I've even calculated that if i do get a BFP, it will be for very early May which could still be April as I was 5 days early with DD. I need to get a grip - I am only CD13!

Yellowflowers, I am no expert, but i think you should be ok if it was within 24 hours - someone else might have more knowledge.

Hi, I joined on page 1, but won't be having a May baby, because I got a BFP on 5th August. Hope many more BFPs are on their way.

Evening all - a lot going on here just now but just wanted to pop on to say hello and sign myself up.

I came over from lissie's "do not test" thread :-)

My stats? TTC DC#2, cycle 8 with an early mc in March. Had hoped for a smaller gap but hey, ho. It wasn't to be...

Here's hoping that May is our month. I'm only on CD4 so there's a long way to go yet.

Morning all and welcome MintChocAddict. I am also TTC#2 and trying not to get too hung up on when it happens but would love to have another one before my DD goes to school next September - May would be perfect!!

Waiting2Exhale - hope you have a great weekend away - am also CD12 so we are doing our best

Happy Friday to all and enjoy the weekend

Hi All,

Can I join please?
TTC DC#2, Cycle 2, AF due??????? Have longish, unpredictable cycles so who knows!!
Fingers crossed for all.

I am doing my best to make babies all this week
C'mon everyone the music is starting for the baby tango

Hi ladies,

Am CD12 at the mo and heading off on a long weekend with DH and child during the crucial big O time. Really looking forward to it and hoping we're able to maximise our bding time with DC around. Back monday so will be checking in on how everyone else has done on the run up before the 2ww. Best of luck girlies

guess we are all limbering up for the may babies now. I sometimes think I'm a total nutter as I mutter 'come on eggs' or some such to my belly but think that they need some encouragement. Good luck to everyone...

I hope we haven't scared anyone off with our center parcs ramblings, they were a bit random!

sorry guys

Hi Twoplease
I'm assuming it's quiet because everyone's busy Either that or we've scared everyone off

Afternoon, any news from anyone? I am a bit lost I have just come back from taking my DD to my mum's - she is having a small 'holiday' there - i have got so many things to do at home but am already missing her!

Anyway, good luck to all over the next week - hope we all make some may babies!!

Morning all
I'm with you on this one twoplease. Don't get technical just go for it! You may well be ovulating or it may be something to do with digestion, you're not going to know so every other day sounds good

On the CParcs thing. It was definitely cheaper for the 5 of us all travelling in one car. I don't know if it's a bigger group how it would work out - it looks like you take the whole extended family with you
The one we went to in Holland last year was very close to German border. I'm told if you book it from the German part of the website it is even cheaper, but I've never tried.

Evening,
That sounds barmy JLo2 but am intrigued - going to look into it for a holiday next year - my brother lives in Germany so it could be an ideal way to meet up - thanks for the tip off.

on a baby-making front, I am only CD8 but am convinced am ovulating. I tend to have shorter cycles, sometimes only 21 so would this be likely anyone? Guess i should invest in some ov tests but am a bit skint and am still trying not to make things too technical - am going for the BD every other day approach this month and see if that is successful.

Glad you're feeling a bit better Tigerschick. It all sounds a bit of a nightmare, but will be worth in the end I'm sure.

We're going to a CP in Belgium twoplease. I know it sounds a bit mad but it was cheaper to go there than in the UK (including the cost of the ferry!) We went to one in Holland last year and enjoyed it so much we booked again when we got home. Of course the Euro/Pound exchange is not as good now as it was then. We went to Elveden when DS#1 was little (about 10 years ago)although they've done it all up since then because it burnt down, but it was really good then

Hey ladies
Thanks for your thoughts, I'm feeling a bit better now that DH is home and we've had a chance to talk things through.
I'm in a bit of discomfort as having this many large follicles is not normal - it's like having several marbles where your ovary should be ... and it's all for nought!

JLo2 - I'm not 100% certain about the Ovarian Diathermy, I know that Atilla had one tho. AFAIK it's an operation where they 'zap' some of the follicles. It's quite minor in surgery terms (compared with heart by-passes etc ) but still quite a big deal.

I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.

Good luck everyone else

The beds are a bit iffy aren't they. We are off to Eleveden - you?

LOL twoplease I don't think the beds at CP would be up to it let alone all the relatives Which one are you going to?

x-posts with you JLo2 - I too am going to Centre Parcs for my holiday and was cursing that i might have to deal with swimming everyday whilst on my period until DH pointed out that it was better that than OV during that week and trying to BD whilst sharing a chalet with in laws/grandparents and nephews/nieces!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hear your news about being out this month Tigerschick, it sounds like your day has been a rollercoaster of emotions - fingers crossed there is some positive news in time for next month. I completely get where you are coming from about watching your little girl with others who have siblings after spending the afternoon with two friends and their little ones (2 each) but like JLo2 said, there are some great benefits to an only whether it be a temporary situation or hopefully not!

rhetorician - welcome, i shall be on my hols too come AF due date (25/26th) and nowhere near a computer so have no hope of holding out til the 1st to test !!

am looking forward to being 'busy' as you put it JLo2, am hoping some time with just DH as DD off to mums for a couple of days will do us some good. good luck all

Wow Tigerschick - So what happens if you don't take Pregnyl and have unprotected sex? Are you still at very high risk of multiples? And what on earth is an Ovarian Diathermy? Let us know what happens tomorrow. Sorry to be so ignorant

Welcome to the thread rhetorician. We're away towards the end of August too. I'm hoping it will take my mind off the whole '2 week wait' thing, although I'm hoping my AF waits until I get home as we'll be at Center Parcs swimming (obviously I'd rather it didn't come at all!)
