Let's make some May babies

[louloubellamozzarella]

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 :)

Thanks everyone! BFP confirmed by digi test this morning

Ooh, lots of love (and spot picking) on this thread, I'm liking it. Can I join? I may not conceive straight away as DH has recently had a VR and we need to get a SA done to get a green light to SW plenty of I, but there's no harm in trying, is there? I'm charting to make sure that after we get the good news (have to stay positive!) we know exactly what we're doing.

Kveta, we have our first wedding anniversary on Sunday as well. Will be having plenty of as OV isn't 'forecasted' (got to love Fertility Friend) until the following week.

MrsGrumpWantsABump TTC#1 AF due 12th Sep

Congratulations cosmic! What lovely news to start the day with!

Excellent news CosmicMouse! :)

Nice stats updating, mama5 - I'm still firmly in the 'waiting for a sign, any sign' camp. Oh well, here's to the weekend

Love the name, mrsgrump -I think that's an accurate reflection of my state of mind this week

Happy wedding anniversaries/preg celebrations/honeymoons/weekends everyone. I've got a busy one so will catch up with the news on Monday.

Well, having spent my 5 days or so sulking and eating whole boxes of golden grahams waterskiing off the back, my legs are tired, so I'm coming for a sit in the sun with a cup of tea.
Everyone's been so busy!

Congrats CosmicMouse! Really pleased for you, honest.
Hello to all newcomers, glad to have you on board.
I too have had more than my fair share of mirror-based projectile spots. Bane of my mother's existence for a good few years... :)

Well, I'm full-on going for it this time. I've got my OPOAS, my thermometer, pre-seed on its way, tanked up on pregnacare conception and an angled mirror on a stick for downstairs inspectifying. There's no way it can possibly go wrong this time!

DH is off this weekend, god knows when I'll ovulate, so I'm testing from today (CD5) so I don't miss anything, and we'll be SWI every other day or 3 days or whatever- frankly whenever we get the opportunity!

It's my first wedding anniversary next Thursday too! there's a few of us relatively-freshly-married ones on here. I agree, a BFP would be a lovely first present (although I don't see what it's got to do with paper, unless you count the POAS, lol).

Off to charge the shaver- I'm going to sexify myself for tonight. Wa-hey!

Shouting Big Congrats to you CosmicMouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats wonderful news!

still numbing pains and feeling tired im so confused!!!!!!!!!! am i just doing alot of wishful thinking is this my tell -tales signs of my AF coming!
it would of been nice if i could get some good news wedding An tomorow!

Glad you're back with a vengeance Rusulka! Go you!!!! :)

Well, Day 29 of my 23 day cycle.... my temp was back up to normal post-ov levels today, so the only real dip was on Monday (the day I had the spotting). Had two more faint + this morning, on two different brands of test. Very faint but still there and visible to DH, and still defying the GPs insistance on "a faulty batch of tests".... Had some more spotting just now (brown this time, for a bit of variety). Still no idea what is going to happen, but fearing the worst. Feel a bit crampy still, so am sure AF is going to turn up on her broomstick soon :( . Just wish this could be resolved one way or another, as it is really messing with my head!

Good luck to the SWIers, and hello to the newbies!

Go twat your GP and tell the silly bint that all the PTs you've done can't be wrong!!! Hope it stays sticky Catsy.

Thanks for making me smile Rusulka - Sexifying yourself! Maybe I ought to try that, I've got really lax lately - Poor Mr. Desperate! :o

Pass us the golden grahams...feeling a bit barf-tastic!

Af isn't due until Tuesday but I've been cramping since last weekend...I just want to know because this is driving me nuts. I don't usually have cramps until AF starts. I quite often have no indication I'm going to start until it actually happens, so all this cramping is most peculiar.

Two things:

1. I still have a metallic taste, even though the only supplement I've taken since Tuesday is folic acid.

2. DH has been following me around this morning sniffing me and going . Last time I was pg he noticed that I smelled different around 10DPO. I did point out that he might be imagining pg symptoms as much as I am though.

I still have the boobage thing and groinall ishoos but can still put them down to PMT/running.

Aaaanyhoo, CosmicMouse congratulations on your digi confirmation this morning. You are well and truly upduffed

Catsycat I had brown spotting and stomach cramps around AF time last time I was pg, your BFPs sound pretty convincing to me. The temp dip and spotting on Monday sound about right timing for implantation.

Welcome back on board Rusulka you sound like a woman with a plan. It's good to have a plan

Happy anniversary/honeymoon/weekend to everyone.

Thanks DO67, that really made me laugh!!!!

I'm saying nothing about your barfiness and cramps... you know what I'm thinking though!!! :)

Hi Quenelle, as I said to DO67 you know what I'm thinking about your metallic taste and other symptoms. Admiring your resolve at holding off on POAS - I have no such inner strength I'm afraid!!!!!

Thanks for your confidence in my + tests! I just wish they were a bit stronger so I could really believe in them fully IYSWIM - they don't seem to be getting any darker. Have emailed the Dukan Diet website to ask if the diet could be diluting my wee - have I no shame???!!!!

yay again Cosmic!
ooh Catsy what is going on with you?? sounds suspiciously BFP, a line is a line after all. really hope all the spotting is the infamous implantation bleeding.
Quenelle you seem to be getting all the symptoms, fingers crossed...
Rusulka glad you're back in action, the angled mirror comment did make me smile :), or are you serious? enjoy all the SWI and good luck!
nowt happening here, just waiting around, have had a girly morning with my boys, painting toenails :D they never let me do mine without demanding theirs done too. I suspect they will grow out of this...§

Bollocks! I was just half way through a long and v. entertaining (although you only have my word for that) post...gist of which was:

I aim to please Catsy :)

I agree with Quenelle - I think your BFPs sound pretty convincing too. I then went into another rant about your GP and how you should save up all the tests you've done, make an appointment and then dump them on the daft bint's lap!

And I suppose I probably shouldn't mention the temp dip I had at around 8DPO, should I, cos you'll only go and read something into that too :-P

Stuff a load of biscuits down yer gob before you feel the need to say something! :o

Oh Tibby I meant to say, have you seen the big thread of early pg symptoms on babyandbump.com? Here

You'll have to wade through pages of baby dust and BDing I'm afraid.

Here's my entry from when I was pg with DS:

0dpo - slight pink cm and soreness in ovaries.
6-8dpo - woke up in night with heartburn.
7dpo - pink cm once on TP (sorry TMI). BBs hurt but differently to PMS, more swollen and heavy feeling.
8dpo - pink cm after bm (sorry again)
9-14dpo - woke up every night with heartburn, stuffy nose and sensitive teeth. Felt incredibly hungry at times during the day but didn't fancy food. BBs still hurt, and I think I can see veins that weren't there before.
14-18dpo - heartburn subsided but still woke up every night with stuffy nose and sensitive teeth. Still extreme hunger during day. BBs still hurt, veins definitely starting to appear.
19dpo - BFP with CB Digi.

Loving the thought of dumping piss-soaked sticks in GP's lap

Catsycat I think we should all come round and just POYGP, lol.
What nonsense. As you said, all those tests can't be wrong.
Something is occurring... and it should definitely go on your notes!

puzzletree I was kinda joking about the mirror on the stick. But I do have one in my tool drawer, soooooo...

DO67 when DH comes home and sees I am sexificated, then he shall have to do some gardening of his own before he's allowed anywhere near my beautifully coiffured downstairs. (for beautifully coiffured read bald- I always was a bit too impatient with the strimmer).

Just realised I've got about 300% of my RDA for folic acid out of that whole box of golden grahams, whoops. In addition to the pregnacare conception, I must just have the stuff swilling around down there...

LMFAO!!! Perhaps you could talk to my DP about gardening around his man bits...drives me nuts! I've threatened to give him plaits, thus making his friend (and, let's face it, mine) look like Pocohontas! Still no trimmage though...I'm going to get the wax strips out if he ain't careful. And while I'm at it, I'll do his chest, belly and legs! He's very beautiful, but he ain't half hairy!

On the subject of Folic Acid, given my manic depression, I take more than 4000mg each day - I shit you not!

mama5isalive erm, maybe a ridiculously silly question, but how do I add myself!??

Congratulations Cosmic!

I thought you might like this radio programme. Here's the blurb:

Very interesting.

Am I actually pleased that AF has started to show today. I knew we hadn't tried hard enough this month so, I just want to get it over with and crack on with next month's attempt! And continue to enjoy lots of tea, chocolate and wine in the process.

Don't forget to get you vitamin D ladies. It's not just the folic acid that's recommended these days.

GTR, highlight the list, copy and paste it into a new message and then just insert yourself into date order of AF. HTH!

DH and I very amused by all your thoughts on my GP. I can never see her again now, as that is all I will be able to think about!!!!!

Bwahahaha...sorry about that Catsy. Well actually, not really...cos it's quite funny and I'm quite evil :o

Aw crap Astro, Vitamin D too? I'll be feckin' rattling!

My husband doesn't so much have a happy trail as a happy motorway... fortunately I am very fond of his follicular prowess.

Eee, congratulations Cosmic! Great news! I'd cheer louder but I run the very real risk of throwing up at my desk if I open my mouth too much. Last two or three days, like clockwork, at lunchtime, I feel very very bleurgh. I would like to think this is A Good Sign(tm) but I'm only 5 dpo (or is it 6?) and I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

Glad you're feeling positive Astro. Broccoli sandwiches for tea then!

DO67 well my normal GP is back next week (yay!) - I shall just see him in future !
