Thought I'd start a new thread for those of us who are out for May. Love to see some of my old friends here as well as maybe some new ones

Hi ladies....havn't posted in a while as have been sitting around waiting for AF to arrive.....however...suprisingly she hasn't.

Am 16DPO at the mo and have had a couple of days spotting but nothing else really. Absolutely no preg symptoms....Hmmmm .

Sitting here thinking whether I should bother to test or wait until tomorrow which would definitely be a positive sign for me as I have never reached 17DPO in all the time I've been temping (which is about a yr now) and I would be able to us FMU.

Has anyone out there had no preg symptoms but period type pain and then spotting before getting a BFP...please send me your symptoms if similar...desperate to gain some perspective on this...will be sat right here waiting.

Hi, I'm now on CD26, been having tinkly sore boobs and feeling very tired in the afternoons, so was getting my hopes up (silly I know), then had some brown spotting this morning aarrggh! It's so frustrating!
Sorry to vent, but I got my silly hopes up.

MrsMcJnr · 22/09/2008 23:28

Hey ladies

LMM ? hang on in there hon

MamaMimi ? to be honest, I don?t know why my software has predicted next Sat for AF as that would be 14dpo and unless I am pg, I don?t usually get past 10 or 11 so we?ll see. I?m not holding out much hope either but it would be nice in a way to have AF and start afresh!

Welcome Tinker I had problems seeing your chart but I?d say 36.4 was fine for a post ov temp (at least it?s quite normal for me post ov but pre ov I rarely hit 36.0) you can get EWCM due to hormones but I don?t think it?s a sign either way I?m afraid.

Fingers crossed Bamboostalks & Funkybumps & Yellowflowers

JLo2 ? sorry hon enjoy the wine!!

Twoplease ? my usual cycle length is 28 days but I generally ov on cd16/18 so my LP is on the short side. Before I got pg with DS it was sometimes shorter than 10 days so I took vit b6 to help lengthen it and it seemed to work

Updating myself on the list:

I usually have a 30 day cycle with a 35 day one every so often. Today is cd 33 so could just be one of the longer cycles. have metal taste but could be hangover (yes, not best idea when trying to conceive but was special occasion). Have sore boobs which hurt when I sneezed! No spotting yet but also bfn on test. grrrr - hate this!

RipMacWinkle · 22/09/2008 21:29

Hello all - I confess I'm lurking just now. (sadly!) I recognise a lot of names from the May thread last month. This month I'm trying to be all cool about the whole thing same as twoplease. Pretending to myself that I don't care. Haha, think i'm trying to fool my own body. How crazy does that make me sound?

For that reason, I've not started posting on here, added myself to the list etc but I prob will do when I get to the 2ww. Due to last month's af turning up 6 (yes six!!!!) whole days late, I'm only on CD14.

Fingers crossed for you all

MintChocAddict · 22/09/2008 21:23

Hello All

Stay positive yellowflowers. You never know!
I don't have short cycles twoplease (anything but!!) but I'm sure someone on here will have similar exp.
Sorry AF arrived JLO2. Hope you enjoyed your boozy lunch!

No idea whether I've OV or not - CD 20ish - but have had a rotten bug over the last few days so not much BD going on anyway.

Reckon I've probably missed the boat for this month but fingers crossed for everyone else.

twoplease · 22/09/2008 21:16

Evening all, apologies (again) for absence, trying to have one of those cycles where I 'really don't care' whether it happens or not this month (yeah right!) and just consoling myself that with a 2 bedroom house and the state of the housing market, i would be better off with one DC!!

Should be OV now as i have a short cycle, am not too convinced its happening so am going to have to consider how i go about extending the bit after ovulation as i think that is why i'm not getting pregnant. Going to monitor for a few more cycles and see what happens. Anyone else have short cycles?

yellowflowers · 22/09/2008 20:51

Still no AF, still getting BFN

Tinker1980 · 22/09/2008 20:33

hi everyone, sorry I've not been around for a while but was getting soooo obsessed with ttc that I thought it was better to have a break from this thread if I could help it.
Nice to see i'm still on the list though so thanks ladies x

Well, I'm on CD 22 now and approx 8dpo but not sure as I didn't really chart things this month, just did lots of BDing

Great to see all the BFPs so far though so congrats to those and fngers crossed there's lots more to come from the rest of us x

bamboostalks · 22/09/2008 09:51

Am actually on CD30 and ttc no 2. I am desperate to test but will wait till Wed at the earliest. My cycles are long, no syptoms though.

Morning x

Everyone is very quiet on this thread lately, I hope its cos your all busy feeling pregnant

MamaMia - Good luck for next week too hun, hope you managed to catch it at the right time!

Welcome Tinker Good luck for Sat, I hope the red witch stays away! Im afraid I know nothing about temps etc. but am sure someone else will come along with some help. Also Ive added you to the list x

Tinker1980 · 21/09/2008 12:50

P.S congrats to all the BFP's

Tinker1980 · 21/09/2008 12:48

Hi everyone,

this is my first time on this site.

I have been TTC#2 for nearly a year and in my tww. AF is due Saturday. My temps at the mo are 36.4 taken at around 5am every morning, I'm hoping that this month will be the month. But I think my temps are low. Please look at my chart and tell me your opinions. Also I have has ewcm for 10days running, is this normal?
www.mymonthlycycles.com/viewbbtcharts.jsp?id=57c516

Any help would be great

Thanks

MamaMimi · 21/09/2008 12:23

Sorry about what you're having to put up with too lmm, it must be very frustrating.

MamaMimi · 21/09/2008 12:21

Hi all,

MrsMcJnr - Af due next Sun for me, so we are more or less at the same point in our cycles.

Must say tho' that I'm not holding out too much hope this month as I've not been very well. Only a few days after last AF went I started with cystitis symptoms which lasted for over a week (right over ov time!) and since that's got better I have got a stiff neck that is restricting my movements. So this month's been a bit of a shambles really.

I'll be glad to feel back to normal. It's times like this when I actually think 'I'm glad I haven't got a tiny one to see to'!

littlemissmischief · 21/09/2008 12:01

Thanks MrsMcJnr - just fed up with all the waiting, as I know we all are! This is the first month Ive used OPKs just hoped it would be able to help me pin point Ovulation and then a period date but no such luck! Just hope this is my month (and everyone elses) and then wont have to go through this again. Im on CD29 (which is about a month!!) and dont know if ive even ovulated yet or anything that is my main thing that gets me down i suppose. Sorry for the rant x

MrsMcJnr · 20/09/2008 23:37

Poor you LMM - why don't you ditch the OPKs for a cycle and rely on other signs of OV? OPKs can really blur the picture. Chin up xx

littlemissmischief · 20/09/2008 19:14

Sammysam - sorry hun lots of {{hugs}} for you, it will be your turn soon x

Yelowflowers - sorry it wasnt a BFP for you hun x

Skiptonmaria - Sorry AF got you x

Vicky - Keep busy try to stay away from the test

MrsMcJnr - Good luck for a weeks time! x

Well im CD28 today and was hoping i was on the 2ww wait even tho ive had no positive on the OPK sticks but had a stronger line today too (even tho still classed as a neg) so now not too sure could be possible because alot of my cycles have been about 42 days so will keep BD and see what happens I suppose! Been feeling a little down about it lately, almost resenting how all this is making me feel but know it will all be worth it!

MrsMcJnr · 19/09/2008 23:13

Hey ladies I?ve now logged back into my charting software and I appear to be on cd529 but am also 6dpo based on OPK etc AF should be due next Sat? we?ll see

Hang on in there yellowflowers, you just never know!

Littlemissmischief ? I like your attitude it is hard not to obsess though isn?t it? fingers crossed for you.

Sammysam & Skiptonmaria sorry to hear the old witch arrived.
