Had a search for a may BFP thread and couldn't see one (please correct me if there is!) so thought I'd start one..

curiousgeorgie - TTC #2 - Testing April 29th

Anyone with me?

Thank you again for the information I can't believe I don't know any of this stuff, it's like a whole new world! We have been waiting to start trying for so long now you would have thought I would have researched it a bit better Grin

I have my fingers crossed for all of you and hope you get positive results over the next few weeks.

Seeing bumps everywhere is just good old sod's law always there to piss you off at the most inappropriate time!

RightUpMyRue · 30/04/2012 16:58

hai, you're not due on for another 5 days. Even the early tests say it's 45% accurate at 4 days before you're due so it'll be a waste of a test now. Wait until at least Thursday/Friday.

LittleMissSnowShine · 30/04/2012 17:12

@hai - good symptoms, sounds like grounds for optimism! Prob best leave it a couple of days to poas tho Wink

@wishful - yay for DH bein in the mood and who knows what might happen? U could be needing a maternity dress for wedding lol

Hi to jacqueline and sorry things didnt work out for u this month stiklebrick

I managed to really put my back out this morning - a lingering side effect from DS but hasnt played up in over a year, so had to take DS to dr and go to work today slightly whacked out on painkillers! Glad no dtd on cards for me 2nite lol and

LittleMissSnowShine · 30/04/2012 17:14

...and there was me thinkin lower back cramps were poss AF or even poss OV symptoms over the weekend there! A cautionary tale about symptom spotting ha ha

Hai1988 · 30/04/2012 18:01

Ok thanks will hold off till friday!

So annoying promised myself i would not test unless i was late!

LittleMissSnowShine · 30/04/2012 18:23

stay strong hai!!

Plus side of bad back is that I made an appt for GP so u can get a physio referral for my back but think i'll also get one for pcos clinic at hospital. Its a one stop clinic for all fertility issues and helping u get yr pcos etc symptoms under control so just in case AF makes an unwanted appearance later this month, i'll be on waiting list to see consultant. I know this is only my 2nd cycle since we started ttc and I've already got DS but between the pcos and the waiting lists I figure I might as well make sure all my bases are covered

CraftyGirly · 30/04/2012 18:57

Hai back AWAY from the pee sticks Grin
winkle sorry to hear about your -FRER but its not over till the Red lady sings! FX for u

not much of anything going on in the crafty household at the moment, AF due on monday so time will tell. I still have almost constant indigestion though, its very annoying Angry

tedmundo · 30/04/2012 19:47

craftygirl - I was also due on Monday but as I OVd later I am going to test on Wednesday (or Tuesday if the urge becomes too strong!). Got everything crossed for you.

I think we may get a flurry of POASs next week. The stats list suggested loads were 7/8/9 May for AF due.

Hai you know if it's too early, the BFN can piss us off so like crafty says .. step away from the sticks. This feels like an intervention!

littlemiss sorry about your bad back. I hope the visit to the clinic is a help. I don't know much about PCOS but if you seek help now, and let them know you are ttc then that can only be a positive thing hey?

wishful we all do it. Say out loud that it is just a case of stopping the contraception and let's see what happens but really we are counting days, poas and staring at the results in light, in shade, then back into the light like demented witches. Once the decision has been made it turns us all a bit crazzzeeeee til we get that elusive BFP.

LittleMissSnowShine · 30/04/2012 20:31

"I think we may get a flurry of POASs next week. The stats list suggested loads were 7/8/9 May for AF due."

And i think we're all just about ready for a flurry of BFPs too!!

We've got some girls ready to test this week too tho if I'm not mistaken??

winkle2 - TTC #1 - Testing 2nd May
Hai1988- TTC #2 - Testing 3rd may
Figaro82 - TTC#1 - Testing 4th May
Blueblizz - TTC#2 - Testing 6th May

suzydelarosa · 30/04/2012 20:48

hi -i'm waiting to test on 2nd May TTC #2. My breasts feel ginormous but likely due to massive weight gain from sitting inside all weekend glued to the tv eating fish and chips...

LittleMissSnowShine · 30/04/2012 21:54

Oops, sorry Suzy! Didnt mean to leave you off, v exciting!

I too seem a lot rounder this week, missing zumba with my wonky back this week prob wont help either lol need to cut out the choc and Wine tho I cant help but think if I do get pg soon i might be throwing everything.up copiously, off choc and.not allowed wine so....

winkle2 · 30/04/2012 22:06

Littlemisssnowshine - I'm cutting out wine for May to try and help with getting pregnant. Am hoping it will encourage hubs to cut back too. It will be worth it for a BFP.

jaquelinehyde · 30/04/2012 22:16

Tedmundo you are so right I was prepared to be all so relaxed about ttc and just enjoy having as much sex as possible. However, having made the decision I have turned into a woman posessed Grin

Tonight I will be mainly researching and ordering a load of pg tests so I am prepared for when the time comes.

I have decided based on information I have gained today from you lovely lot that if my period hasn't come by Monday 14th May I will do a test.

So how do I write this, is; TTC #1 - Testing 14th May right?

wishfulthinking1 · 30/04/2012 22:17

I'm certainly trying to cut back on drinking too. To be honest, I don't drink all that much but if I start then DF will have a drink too and he doesn't seem to be able to do it in moderation!!

I think I might try to nonchalantly dtd eod for a couple more days just in case, but I imagine I must have already ovulated. No real changes in cm, a few pains that could have been OV pains (but equally could have been any number of things!!)

I guess only time will tell (trying not to get hopes up, but still -irationally- feel fairly positive!!) it'll be an exciting few days- fx to all!!💐

LittleMissSnowShine · 30/04/2012 22:42

Winkle / wishful - you're great inspiration! Tbh what I drink now compared to what I would have drank pre-DS is pitiful, but then I was 26, childless and a student so that was the life! Now I hav a toddler & a job so im practically saintly compared to, say, 2009 Wink

so Brew for us all, no Wine til we get at least one BFP between us all!! Tee total is the new pinot grigio lol

scubastevie · 30/04/2012 23:09

Hi everyone,
I'm so sorry to hear of some of you getting AF :(

Not been on much but keeping up to date, was thinking of the thread today that it's 1st May tomo and got some testers. Fingers crossed!!!

As for me, i ovulated day 14, now on day 17 and got mild back cramps (like ppains) and felt sick twice today...feel a bit weird in uterus area...is it too early for symptoms???

jaquelinehyde · 30/04/2012 23:52

Just realised obviously I am TTC #2 not #1 Grin as I think I said before I have 2 DC's but only one is mine biologically.

toobreathless · 01/05/2012 04:26

Popping in to see how everyone is doing.

jacqueline welcome! We have some things in common. Also TTC number no 2 & I also had the implant out 4 weeks ago. I'm also new to this whole TTc business as I have had one unplanned (ectopic) pregnancy & conceived DD first month of 'trying' - having random sex.

Cycle 1 Day 3 here. On a night shift hence the silly time of post. I will be testing right at the end of May (28th)

Starting to feel a bit unsure of what exactly I want in terms of TTC. My closest friend asked me to be maid of honour today :) in early October & not sure how I would feel if I were pregnant for this. Also been thinking of the age gap & if I were to conceive this month gap would be 22months. DH is very broody & thinks we should just have random sex & see what happens. I don't think my personality works like that, it's either all or nothing iyswim.

So excited for everyone else's tests! - bring on the babies :)

Hai1988 · 01/05/2012 07:50

I think i think i miscalculated at the start of this thread as the 3rd is to early for me to be testing.
Stats now: hai1988-ttc#2-testing 6th

Thats if i can hold out, will be a day late then.

morecoffeemorecoffee · 01/05/2012 08:36

Hi everyone

Good to see some over on the June thread!

Cd 4 today. So at the start of month 17 of ttc this one. I'm 100% committed to the cause, but......we are off on holiday at the end of the month! Flying off to some sun in the canaries, so I will not be tee total this month. I'm going to enjoy our holiday and see what happens :)

winkle2 · 01/05/2012 09:11

Wishful are we married to the same man?! My hubs is trying to cut back though now as the months go by without a BFP I think he can see that if might help.

jaquelinehyde · 01/05/2012 09:21

coffee - A holiday away is probably just what you need, people say stop thinking about it and it will happen but I don't believe it is possible to just stop thinking about it so distracting yourself with an amazing holiday is just perfect. Have fun getting as sozzled as you wish Grin

breathless - You are my TTC twin Grin apart from my 3 are currently 7(in two weeks), 6 and 5(in 1 month) so there is going to be a big gap between mine and any new one if I'm luck enough to get a bfp.

I fell pg with DS by accident and the miscarried twice and decided enough was enough and had the implant put in so if I do get a bfp I shall be treading carefully as I have no idea what my body is going to do.

I don't smoke or drink but I am very overweight but I'm losing a little each week (so far 6stone lost, probably another 6 to go) and if I ever get pg plan to continue to lose a little each week (probably not realistic but it's my plan and I'm sticking to it Grin )

Who is testing or planning to test this week?

tedmundo · 01/05/2012 09:30

I scurried back from the school run hoping there would be some POAS stories ... [excited]

Anyone? Anyone?

morecoffeemorecoffee · 01/05/2012 09:45

Yes, I was sure there would have been some poas action as well! Everyone is much more restrained than I could be!

morecoffeemorecoffee · 01/05/2012 09:47

Start temping tomorrow. Any tips? AF still here, should I wait until the bitch has gone? I think she will be here for over a week this cycle.
