Let's make some May babies

The end of July is drawing near; SWI with DP hasn't been as frequent as hoped; and I've decided to err on the side of caution.

So. Here's a thread for anyone else hoping to make a beautiful May 2012 baby.

I am 27 and TTC #1. Been on pill for an age so unsure of cycles. Only been trying for a couple of weeks - the more I type the more I note my wild optimism!!

Anyone else who knows more about this business than I do? Please come and give me some hope that a May baby might be at all possible :)

Tibbycat I'm a bit confused about ovulation too, testing sticks haven't given anything positive as yet and I'm on day 15 now. Don't normally pay much attention to ovulation signs as this is the first time I've thought about ttc in such depth, but like you, I'm not seeing any major changes in discharge when I'm sure there normally is quite a lot of variation through my cycle. Am thinking maybe it's all the unprotected sex that's messing things up down there!!! Ah well, will carry on regardless and hope for the best.

louloubellamozzarella · 16/08/2011 14:56

Hi Tibby... I'm by no means an expert but it sounds like you could be ov...maybe you ovd earlier than expected if you noticed EWCM a couple of days ago? Or maybe it's just spread out a bit with other symptoms??! Sorry not to be of more help!

Anyone looking for conception/preg vits; holland & barratt have a free delivery offer on at the mo - they seem cheaper than boots and you can get cashback on the website too. Can you tell I'm trying realllly hard to avoid work this afternoon? Grin

Ugh TMI alert, sorry ladies!

I've been doing so much SWI that I've gone and got myself a UTI so all I want to do is curl up in a ball and die. Almost POAS this morning just to check if I was preggers so I could take antibiotics (I've got a stash as I'm prone it) if I wasn't. But am waiting it out, I think a BFN would make me really miserable, plus DH has made a no POAS rule unless AF is late and hides them from me. Although I know exactly where they are.

Going to the doctor tomorrow, so until then am climbing up the walls!

Catsycat · 16/08/2011 15:25

Oh dear chocolate, that's not good at all! I hope you are able to have a nice sit down with a blanket and a cranberry juice, and that you'll feel better soon!

Quenelle · 16/08/2011 15:30

Hope you feel better quickly ChocolateWindmill.

Stop it Louloubella I don't need any encouragement imagining pg symptoms Wink. Think I'm only about 2DPO anyway.

Piglet28 · 16/08/2011 16:56

Ruslka sorry to read sad news, hope you feel ready to TTC again soon x

I'm due to ovulate any day now so will be doing lots of SWI (attempting every other day this week!) and joining you all on 2ww, looking forward to seeing lots of BFP's this month!

please edit the list as you see fit! im a neat freak - sorry!!!!!

missuswife · 16/08/2011 17:39

The tww is getting to me, I can't wait til Saturday to see if AF makes an appearance. Though I'm pretty sure it'll be negative, I still have that little bit of hope!

HeidiHole · 16/08/2011 17:42

Love the new list mama5 it's perfect!! fx for some more of those BFP results!

I'm on cd8 and now realised that my husband is going away for the weekend with the boys (once a year) and it falls on CD 11, 12, 13

How bloody irritating. We're going to DTD on the morning of CD11 before he goes and the evening of CD13 when he's home and hopefully that will be OK. Don't know what day I ovulate Confused but hopefully not then!

HeidiHole · 16/08/2011 17:46

MRSfestiemum i hope you had a good wedding yesterday! And I hope that AF didn't turn up and ruin it?

HeidiHole · 16/08/2011 17:47

Duuuh just realised the wedding is tomorrow not yesterday good luck :)

orangehead · 16/08/2011 17:54

Yes I give Dh supplemets too, we are following the Marlyn Glenville supplement program. It costs more, I dont buy hers but the doeses she recommends from holland and barrett, but with my history of mc want any bean to be as healthly as possible with magical sticking powers Smile.
ChocolateWindmill hope you feeling better soon, tell your docotor your ttc, some atibiotics are more baby friendly than others so s/he might give you a different type than usual.

orangehead · 16/08/2011 17:55

Tat sounds like you will still be covered Heidi

Tibbycat · 16/08/2011 18:59

Missuswife, why do you think it will be Negative?

Glad to hear it Cacacaz!

Nice new list mama5!

festiemum · 16/08/2011 21:19

I am liking the new list too!

Yes, that's right Heidi wedded tomorrow! Will also POAS, AF due on Friday, so tho I've done at least 4 tests already this month Blush (though not today; actually exercised a TINY bit of restraint!!); this is the one that actually could come up... We'll see.... Still weeing loads, but don't seem to be noticing the symptoms so much any more. Would love a BFP obviously, but also being at a festival all weekend, not exactly thrilled at the prospect of juggling my mooncup in an icky festival toilet!!!

Hope you're all well whether SWI-ing, or waiting! Hope you are OK Rusulka Big ol' cyber hugs to you. xx

puzzletree · 16/08/2011 22:01

Ooh have fun tomorrow festiemum, hope the wedding is wonderful (and a BFP would be amazing!), so is the festival your honeymoon? How cool. Yes mooncup at festival sounds yacky, sore boobs would be much better :)

Catsycat · 16/08/2011 22:20

Have a fantastic time tomorrow festie, and good luck for your POAS endeavours!

orangehead · 16/08/2011 23:03

Have a fantastic day tomorrow festie

Catsycat · 16/08/2011 23:08

Oh well, AF has just started :( so I guess my + was just a chemical pg after all. Will phone the GP tomorrow and arrange to have the day 3 tests.

Moving myself to the end of the list, and going off to sulk.
