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 :)

Hey all - happy August; can't believe we're eight months into the year Shock.

OOh some more new peeps Grin Hi pillow, hope you don't need one up your jumper for much longer. Thanks for the sorting buggerlugs - I do like a bit of alphabetising (if that's even a word?!)

Nothing to report on Paranoia Watch here. Been doing a sterling job on the 'trying' side of things over the weekend and I'm pretty knackered Blush.

As for the drink I'm not laying off it completely but trying to be being sensible. So exciting that we could have some positive results before the end of this month!!

I prefer af due date order too Bugger

CosmicMouse · 01/08/2011 18:49

Another here, hello!

Cycle 2 of TTC%232. We only decided midway through last cycle to TTC...but it feels like it's taken forever already. Doesn't help that I have stupid long cycles so it takes ages to get to the interesting bit.

Currently on CD11, and have started with the OPK's this morning so I can try and pinpoint OV. My cycles do seem a bit shorter since having DD, which is good. But it means I can't really rely on the data from last time around, as I think it's going to be a few days out. Hence me starting OPK's a little early. I need to start temping as well, but I keep forgetting Blush

mildertduck · 01/08/2011 18:56

Ooh can I join the party, please? I've got doughnuts!

I'm 28, TTC (for some reason I have unbridled hatred for that abbreviation, but hey ho) #1, and goodness only knows when Aunty Flo is due as I had my implant out today and I have had the grand total of one period in two-and-a-half years. While I count myself lucky I am not especially looking forward to re-acquainting myself with Aunty dearest...

So we'll see. I'm not expecting much this go around but we could surprise ourselves. Hello to all of you!

The more the merrier - especially if food is involved!

Know what you mean about TTC. I really hate AF (she's not my fecking aunt). But kind of fallen into using them as they are short and easy for the lazy typist (moi).

Oops, I didn't notice that was AF order, not alphabetic duh. Not sure of all of you details, Cosmic and mildert, post them up and we can slot you in Grin.

Mildert, I'm in the same boat with cluelessness about my cycle - came off pill three weeks ago which I'd been on for 10 years nearly with no breaks. Will it be back, who knows?! Cosmic, I'm totally impatient too; and still on cycle one (which isn't actually a cycle as not sure if I've had a proper period yet!). Fingers crossed for you both.

Does anyone know how to copy and paste on the new update of the iPhone app? It's not working for me.

pillowupmyjumper · 02/08/2011 00:17

Any hints or tips to share about how best to concieve or is it just a case of SWI... also if you're not using ov sticks or tempreture thingy (skint!)is there a poor womans way of telling when i'm ovulating ... :)

JoInScotland · 02/08/2011 00:48

pillowupmyjumper you can get a pack of 15 ovulation tests and 5 pregnancy tests for about £4 on Ebay. They come in a white non-descript envelop, if you get your post delivered at work.

threecurrantbuns · 02/08/2011 00:53
