May is an excellent month to have a baby

Hi all.

FeelingDeviant - LOL at "lounging in bed", but sounds good if you have just ovulated; perfect timing!

HNYF - sorry your period turned up. What a pain in the bum. (Sorry to anyone who prefers AF but I can't stand it - also can't stand BD so you'll see me typing 'sex' instead, or, on occasion, DTD.)

Wildfig - I've had a few of those "never mind, maybe next time" days ... best way to be, if you can manage it.

I'm back from my scan and, although it's not sparklingly wonderful, it's not terrible news either. My womb lining is up to a healthy 1.19cm (0.01cm up from Monday) and I have a follicle of 9.1mm on my right ovary and one of 8.2mm on my left (nothing bigger than 6mm on Monday) ... not brilliant but better than when I was on low doseages of Menopur and better than I ever got on Clomid. So it's carry on with the injections and scan again on Friday ...

I like it! Seems a bit less high-pressure than BDing...

didn't know how else to put it

"lounging in bed" - is that a euphemism?!

Oooooooooh, just used OPK and got a faint line so I'm ovulating!
DH and I have been lounging in bed, so fingers crossed.

Have been temping too, but no spike in temperature. Is this ominous does anyone know?

Hi everyone!

Can I join you as well? TTC1, Cycle 3, CD12, AF due between 17 - 20/8/08.

Sadly, no - I've been unable to resist testing (the LAST month I will be so ridiculous, I swear) and had a conclusive selection of BFNs, so am just waiting for AF and my 'never mind' AF night steak now. And possibly my 'never mind' sales shopping at the weekend.

BTW I noticed on the Boots website they're now doing a 3 for 2 offer on preg tests.
Aaargh!
Repeat after me: I really do not want 6 pregnancy tests. I really do not need 6 pregnancy tests.....(repeat many mant times)

Looks like I've started a trend! It's easy saying it now, but my resolve will be much weaker by the end of August.
If you are CD27 wildfig, you'll be needing serious moral support now

Sorry to hear AF arrived HNYF. That is really annoying when you've tested in the morning too

My AF is due on the 29th so I will try and hold off testing until the first 1st of Sept as well.

I go on holiday on the 2nd too would be brilliant to go with a BFP!!

Hello. I would like a May baby too, please! (And also some moral support to stop me testing - thank God Boots' stupid 2 for 1 First Response offer is finally OVER.)

I'm TTC 1, Cycle 2, CD27

I cross posts with you HNYF - sorry to hear AF got you . Fingers crossed you get your BFP this month instead.

Wanted to wish you all good luck.

I am on my first month of Clomid - so fingers crossed here too, although have to admit to not feeling very optimistic right now about it all.

JLo2 happy to help with the support needed to resist testing - early testing was the bane of my first few months of ttc, must have wasted so much money

Hi Guys,

Sorry i haven't been able to get on here as much as I wanted to have done this week.

AF arrived yesterday. I did test yesterday morning which is typical as it then arrived yesterday evening.

Oh well, I'm up for a May baby so will be put extra effort in this month. !!!

Good luck to everyone else and all newcomers.

TTC#4, Cycle 2, Obviously AF not due until end of Aug now.

Tigerschick no idea why the long cycles, maybe because I'm no spring chicken?
Was going to have IVF last time and was got a BFP a month before first appointment at clinic.

Part of the problem last time was the fact that I was travelling quite a bit for work and it wasn't until I stopped work that it actually happened for us. So, at the moment, DH has 6 weeks off for the summer, I'm not working and DD is in nursery ...

Was lucky two summers ago with conceiving DD by just spending some relaxing time together, so hoping that the same thing will happen again.

Good luck everyone!

I meant preg test, not Ov test on the 1st Sept.

Morning Caitni. Great to see you back
Haven't heard any news from HNYF yet. She was going to test yesterday so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I have used OPKs, but I didn't find them that useful as my cycle is also a bit unpredictable. I went through loads! I may give them another go this month. In mine it says you should test between 12 and 5pm, so I think you've probably got a bit of leeway with your 2pm.

I have made myself a promise not to test before 1st Sept. Not sure if I'll manage it though. I'll need help to stay strong

Thanks for thoughts ladies
Will report back later.

Caitni - 9 cycles is a long time ... wishing you lots of luck this time around.
JLo2 - LOL at cooking with fingers crossed

Hi ladies!

I saw this on the last thread, and would love to join in again. May would be an utterly lovely time to have a baby (though I think any month would be a lovely time to have a baby )

Any news on HNYF? Did she test yet??

Fingers crossed for you Tigerschick - hope scan shows it's all working and you get a BFP positive and a lovely May baby!!

FeelingDeviant I use the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor rather than OPKs, so can't help.

My AF is due around 17th/18th August, currently on CD 6. I'm ttc #1, on cycle 9.

Welcome lillypie, FeelingDeviant and Tigerschick
Fingers definitely will be crossed for you at lunchtime Tigerschick. We're here if you need a bit of moral support,just to vent frustration or for a virtual hug

Note to self - don't try and cook lunch with crossed fingers

Feelingdeviant - do you know why you have such long cycles? It took us just over 3 years to conceive dd without any medical intervention. When we started thinking about dc#2 we didn't want to risk having to wait so long so I went to the dr and have been diagnosed with PCOS and have been having treatment for just on a year now - tho most people are successful quicker than that!

Forgot to add.
I'm aged 37, TTC no.2 (took two years to conceive DD), 3rd cycle, cd 22, have long and unpredictable cycles so no idea when period due.
