Hoping for a May BFP?

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?

I'm afraid I'll have to bow out of this thread lovely ladies, I think it was winkle who said the only thing guaranteed to secure our entry into the BFP lottery was DTD. I can safely say AF will be arriving just in time for my course next week.

Good luck to those of you still to test, fx for you all.

LittleMissSnowShine · 01/05/2012 13:26

ted - me too, no poas yet??

morecoffee - i was in Lanzarote in Feb, so relaxing and sunny, have fun!! Also, I think the day AF starts is CD1 and ideally if you're temping you chart your temp every day of your cycle so if you haven't started yet i'd prob start now so you can get the fullest picture possible iyswim?

breathless - I've been hmming and hahing over ttc for a while too, age gap, weddings and work plans have all been my factors.. DS is 20 months now but I always thought I'd wait til he was 2 before we started ttc again, and I've got weddings to go to over the summer and various interviews and things lined up.... But at the end of the day, it never seems like you have 9 months completely free of weddings, holiday plans, hen parties, house moves, work changes etc so we've just decided to bite the bullet and go for it I think...

jaqueline - also had a happy accident pg with DS Grin

Geeklette - Sorry to hear you're out Sad

LittleMissSnowShine · 01/05/2012 13:39

Here's our list again ladies, btw, since here we are on 1st May - happy Bealtaine everyone, pagan fertility festival in Ireland Grin

I've stuck a Brew beside ladies who have been visited by evil ol AF but kept you on the list in case there's hopefully still a shot at a May BFP for you, but please take yourself off list if you're having a break for a while xx

Hello all,

sorry to hear AF got so many! Although there is still chance of may BFP for some!
Anyway, I am on CD26! and still no signs of ovulation. I am beginning to think I've completely missed it this cycle. DTD yesterday and then spent 1.5 hours doing a winkle Grin. DH already knows he is needed tonight as well, just in case. I've decided I will test a bit later (unless AF gets me) so here is an amended list:

winkle2 · 01/05/2012 14:47

sorry hai and geeklette

I've already POAS TWICE! And two negatives on FRERs so I think I can safely say I'm out. So just waiting for AF now!

tedmundo · 01/05/2012 14:54

I don't want to be a Pollyanna winkle but I didn't get a positive with any of my 3 pregnancies until the day my period was due and one was the day after (maybe a over late??).

tedmundo · 01/05/2012 14:56

And that was with posho hpts too. Don't write off May yet.

jaquelinehyde · 01/05/2012 15:33

Just changing mine to show TTC #2 and that I have no idea when AF is due so my date for testing is just an average guess.

RIBS · 01/05/2012 15:44

Good afternoon ladies,

Sorry Hai and geekette. I thought you were looking promising Hai. Wine for you both tonight i think!!

Winkle - my friend was a week late getting get BFP. cycles as regular as clockwork. Its not over til its over.

Well ive defo ov'd so il be testing 11th May or thereabouts if AF hasnt got me in the meantime. At least iv Ov'd ealier than I expected as DP off on his jolly's on Thursday. He'l be glad of the rest from DTD. Poor DP, was practically asleep whilst on the job last night!

Also been to see gynae today, more blood tests to check hormone levels as last lot were still a bit low, so they may up the clomid dose. But I only got 3 months worth and they'l just give me some more so I dont have the pressure of its NOW or never with them. SO its good news all round really. Smile Smile Smile.

Are you listening morecoffee have you made Dr's appt yet?? (looks round sternly)

Last night of DTD, just to make sure. Ive been assuming the "winkle" every night, full of Conceive Plus and swimmers. Thing is i inadvertinatley bought the CP without the application, so had to improvise with my DD's nurofen syringe. Lube friggin everywhere.

Im not going to be a hysterical nurotic loon on this 2ww but im feeling a bit queasy already, is that possibly a sign or is it too early and i am a bit tired, checking boobs for any sign of growth, soreness, darkening nip's im just going to take it in my stride. Grin

jaquelinehyde · 01/05/2012 16:13

Afternoon Ribs, when do you think you ov'ed? Also could you please explain to me what the winkle is? Confused I have seen it mentioned a few times and don't have a clue what it means.

What are the possible early symptoms of pg? I have decided if I am going to do this properly I might as well join in with the neurotic symptom spotting as well Grin it may help pass the time.

RIBS · 01/05/2012 17:00

Oh FFs just typed a big post and its lost it. Grrrr.
Basically jaq The winkle is the position famed by winkle after DDT lie on back legs in air.

I had positive ov tests fri and sat, with EWCM on Fri night and temp increase yesterday. SO i think ive prob ov'd sunday or yesterday. But will at it again tonight and prob tomorrow for good measure.

Get yourself googling and join the hysteria. There are loads of symptoms to spot, often they are a figment of your imagination once you know about them. But they include tiredness, feeling sick, headaches etc, sore/ tingling boobs. etc etc etc. You'll be driving yourself crazy in no time!! Grin

LittleMissSnowShine · 01/05/2012 17:02

jacqueline - hav a look at this www.babycentre.co.uk/preconception/activelytrying/toptensignsofpregnancy/ and let the symptom spotting commence!

Oh yes, and winkle - verb, ie. to do or to assume the winkle - to lie with one's legs in the air following a rigorous bout of dtd Wink

@RIBS - glad ur hanging on in there, dtd, winkling, lubing, clomid-ing. All sounds like it's going to plan for you this month so fx for 11th!!

@winkle - i'm going to join in with being Pollyanna, loads of tests are only in any way accurate after u miss your period and even the FRER ones are only right some of the time, i posted a link somewhere on april thread which showed the high percentage of women who got false BFNs using all brands right up until AF was a week late so don't lose hope yet!!

my back is still buggered up so off to physio tonight, hope this isn't going to be what the whole of my next pg is like but secretly hoping back being bad is a result of all the progesterone flooding my system in a v weird and quite unlikely early pg symptom

wishfulthinking1 · 01/05/2012 17:20

Gutted for those with AF- was hoping for better news at the end of a rather stressful day!!

Winkle- as everyone else has said - it's not over till its over. When is AF due?

Surely SOMEONE on this thread will get a BFP!

Ladies, I have a question about your cervical mucus!! (never imagined myself saying that!!) I know over the years I've had days with a lot of ewcm (didn't know that's what it was- but remember being a bit grossed out curious. I can't be sure how frequently it happened as I wasnt monitoring it or anything. I definitely didn't have it this month- is it likely that I didn't ovulate? Or just didn't have much ewcm? Is it common not to ovulate? Can you have a lot of ewcm one month and not the next and still ovulate?

12 days till AF due...
X

suzydelarosa · 01/05/2012 17:50

Hi - Couldn't hold out and POAS on a stick this morning, nuts; BFN but still AF not due til Wed/Thurs so I'm holding out hope. My complete lack of willpower is making me realize why I can't stop eating either!! Must remember that at 42 I am chancing it a bit. Oh yeah, partner getting radiation treatment as well so it may be his radiated sperm!

Sound of jumping over lots of hurdles...

jaquelinehyde · 01/05/2012 18:36

God I can't blame all of you who are having an early POAS, I have no idea how I am going to last until the 14th ish!

Would now be a good time to admit that I have been known to poas when I had the implant in just incase Grin

Ribs it sounds like we ovulated at the same time, I got a positive ov test on Saturday (and then again yesterday when I did one just to check) and yesterday and today I have been getting a lot of cramping. DTD Friday, Saturday, yesterday and will jump on dh tonight just for good luck and then maybe tomorrow and everyday until AF arrives to ruin it all Grin After all it will help with the weightloss if nothing else Grin

I am off now to look at all these pg symptoms and begin my spotting...I am telling you now that if having a very sensitive (on the verge of painful) right nipple is listed as a symptom I will get officially excited as mine has been like this since yesterday...DH suspects a rather oddly placed spot may be to blame and that I should stop fondling myself and just wait and see Grin
