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 GTR. You are very sensible. I expect you realise I am going to ignore your advice and pee on at least 3 sticks a day until the witch arrives/I get a line that is visible to others! Not that I don't see the wisdom but I've got four more days to wait, I'm on holiday and have nothing much else to do. Appreciate the support - it's really nice to know someone is out there to soak up the crazy.

No worries notnow - that's what we are here for after all!! Be as crazy as you want!! probably all those hormones

I am a POAS addict so although the advice might seem sensible - i should maybe learn to follow what i dish out!! I have at least 9 days to wait and FF is telling me to test when I am 18dpo!! ARGH!!! That will kill me, so undoubtedly i am going to start seriously testing from 9dpo and everyday until, like you, i get the witch or a line :)

Thank heavens for the cheap tests!

Indeed - i am keeping my expensive tests until i get a definite positive (please let it be this month please let it be this month) - although after last months big fat failure, i now need to order some more of the internet, only have 1 cheap one left :( which i am going to use on Friday!!

I am driving myself bonkers with all my ss, it is so bloody obsessive! I am like a possessed woman!!

I'm trying with all my might not to POAS, although the fact I haven't bought any helps!! I'm very quick tempered today, and lots of insignificant and petty situations are really pissing me off! My stomach is bloated, admittedly this could be because AF is due to make an appearance, I feel so tired, now this could be a symptom or it could be that DH and I walked 23.6 miles on Sat (training for cancer research walking marathon). My boobs are still achy.

Going to try with all my might not to POAS until at least the weekend!

Yeh. Good luck with that one . FX for you.

notnow that actually sounds promising, if you've got a bunch of cheapies then test FMU tomorrow and/or the day after, HCG concentration should increase quickly if you are pregnant.

I asked on a different thread how faint a line was too faint and the words of wisdom there were quite muted anti-over-excitement. I don't want to listen to the voice of reason - it's nicer here!

Hi there - in a similar position to NotnowImreading (any update?!).

My cycles have flipped from 36 down to 23 days and but averaging 31/33 so basically I don't exactly know when my period would be due!

My last period was on 29 July and I ovulated on 14 Aug (so 15 days ago).

I assume my period would have been due this weekend and have done 2 tests with Internet cheap tests today and have had the faintest of faint lines on them (literally holding up to the light!). The one I did this morning dried slightly stronger but it says you should discard the result after 10 mins so I am not sure to believe this or not? The one just now is fainter.

But the weirder thing is that I don't feel ANY different at all - nothing. I have biggish boobs and would expect them to have changed?!

Anyway, will test again tomorrow AM but as you can imagine the wait is killing me so any guidance either way would be gratefully received!

Thanks!

Oo-er Mrs! We can be test buddies. Updates in the morning please.

Good luck to those who are testing!!!!! no pressure can we please have some positives pleassssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
just found out another person is expecting im just gutted, she dont want kids yet!!!!

Another feint line for me this AM so deciding after 3 that I should take the happy hint?! Have another 20 left so am sure I'll use them in the coming days and weeks to be doubly sure (waste not want not!) but am really happy :)

Thanks for the advice and good luck to others on here.

Morning! I hope you don't mind me hopping on the bus and sitting on one of the back seats
I was on the April bus and got a BFP after 22 months of tears,blood tests,MRI scans and drugs. Sadly I miscarried while on holiday at 6 weeks. We are not actively trying this month but we are not preventing it either so we'll just wait and see what happens.If it was to happen it would be a mid-May baby
Good luck to all of you testing and congratulation to all of you who got a BFP

I am still in a quandary. Did FMU test with the superdrug stick again today and found a very faint line after 4 minutes, darkening to reasonably visible after 8 mins. Nothing at all on the cheapie amazon tests. We're doing a control test next: my husband is going to wee on one of the superdrug tests as soon as he's stored up enough wee. Then we'll look for the evaporation line and see what's what. Science in the home!

Mrs, that sounds really (pardon the pun) positive. Congratulations!

Luce, poor you - what an ordeal. Well, enjoy the view from the back seats, put your feet up and let someone bring you a nice cup of tea. Take it easy this month. Lots of us here know how hard it is after mc.

Well, Bill peed on the stick and even after 10 mins there is no sign whatsoever of any evaporation line - he's definitely not pregnant! The amazing corollary is that I. Might. Be. A. Little. Bit. Pregnant. oh my God....

Congratulations notnow - How exciting! And Mrs too - BFP madness here today!

I'm not testing for a bit to give AF a chance... staying away from anywhere that sells HPTs..

ohhhhhh congrats to MrsSet & NOTNOW faint + is still a + yehhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I'm on a down on the rollercoaster at the moment. Just been looking back over the thread and all the faint-but-positives ended after a week or so. Maybe I had better control myself after all.

Tummy feels sort of fluttery if that makes sense - no stabby pains like normal before AF. Had bleedy nose yesterday and fluttery tum yesterday... don't want to test though, was convinced last month (bleedynose, sickish, tender boobies and tired) and then the Beeaich turned up after all. A bleedy nose was a symtom for me before but it has also turned into a Af symtom sometimes this year. Dont' want to test and then be disappointed. AF due on Friday approx. so will only test if she still hasn't arrived on Sunday. HOpe SS madness isn't too crazy for you all xx

Just see how it goes - leave it for a little while maybe? Try testing on Friday if that's what you want to do? Then it will all be stronger result. x

notnow I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! hope you'll be the exception to the rule!

congrats to all the other BFPs and FaintPs!

I now have a stinking cold to go with the miscarriage. my body clearly hates me! I'm still quite shocked at how uncomfortable and bloody it was at only 5 weeks or so. I really cannot imagine how grim it must be at later stages. :( annoyingly, even though I KNOW it's not a big deal and that worse things could happen, I keep bursting into tears at the drop of a hat. stupid hormones I want to tell people too, but equally don't want to say anything to anyone. It is confusing.

oh well, better get rid of the cold then I can start hassling DH to TTC again. need to get back in the sadlle, so to speak!

Keeping my fingers crossed notnowImreading, I really hope that faint line turns into a BFP!

Kveta, I hope you feel better soon.

I'm doing my first 2ww, although I'm not holding much hope. I've just printed off some more charts, hopefully I'll get the hang of this charting malarky in the months to come.

The practise round is over, June bus here I come!

Oh thank goodness there are some more BFPs (or at least little Ps), congratulations!!!!
Needed to hear some happy news as I'm in a right mood today, the boys have been terrors, am getting none of my to do list done, it's raining, and now AF has turned up. So off to the June bus I guess, but good luck everyone still on the May bus.....
