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..

I've definitely cut back on drinking, though DF hasn't really (he'll drink a couple of bottles of wine over the weekend and nothing in the week.) neither of us smOke and although neither of us exercise much we're both an ok weight. I've cut down on caffeine and have started drinking a lot of fruit tea. I think if I told DF we were cutting back on red meat he'd call the whole thing off! Ha- we don't eat a huge about- perhaps 2/3 times a week- he'd eat it every day if I'd let him!

I'm on cd19 and it's boring! No symptoms- bummer!!

Xxxxx

I decided not to drink tonight in the end

Can't believe how much this has taken over my life now. I'm actually quite angry with myself for being like this.

I have no idea what is going on with my body, I haven't had a period for 4 years, I have no idea what my cycles are like or what cycle day I am on, I got a really strong positive OPK on Saturday and then cramping Sunday, heavy quite painful cramping Monday and then light cramping again yesterday. I have had intermitent light cramping today and my nipples have been really painful since Monday (only my right one to begin with and now both but right one more so).

So if I go by an average cycle and believe I OV'ed on Sunday I will call that cd14 so today is cd17 so Sunday 13th would be cd28 and if I was totally average that would be the day I expected AF to arrive? So the 14th does sound about right for my test but I have no idea Confused

I refuse to believe that I have any symptoms this early after ov so I am assuming achey nipples and cramps are just down to ov'ing. I don't think for one minute that I will get a BFP this month but I am confident that because I am paying so much attention to what my body is doing now I will be able to spot symptoms and know what they are for so much easier in the coming months.

Sorry for blabbering on I'm just trying to get everything straight in my head. I have ordered pg tests from amazon and they should be here soon so I shall fight the urge to test and hold out until next Monday (Goood God that is a long, long time away)

winkle2 · 03/05/2012 09:10

How comes you haven't had a period for 4 years?!

Cd32 here and still no sign of AF... Allowing myself to get a little bit excited!

Ok, I was bold and had a wee Wine and a Chinese last night, long day in work lol Only one glass tho, so not exactly going crazy!!

Off to mum&toddler with DS - nobody better ask me when we're thinking about having no. 2 today!!

Hi Christelle - fx for you this month too Smile

How's everyone? Anyone poas this morning?? Where's figaro82? She's up for testing tomorrow, and, yes, I want someone on this thread to kick us off with our first BFP! I've run out of cheapo pg tests after last month so might nip over and get a few from chemist today..tho i've got nearly a week to wait til i can realistically poas and expect to see a real result...ho hum....

everythinghappensforareason · 03/05/2012 10:06

Testing 22nd May, TTC#2 good luck everyone :) xx

DogEared · 03/05/2012 10:14

BLOODY HELL! I'm going mad with the symptom spotting. Maaaaaaaad! Someone slap me!

jaquelinehyde · 03/05/2012 10:23

Happy to be of assistance Grin

What symptoms have you got Dog, we are testing the same day so we can compare Grin

winkle I have had the implant in and didn't get a single period, occassional spotting but no period ever. I have it out 5 weeks ago and haven't had one yet but apparently I ov'ed at the weekend so we shall see.

jaquelinehyde · 03/05/2012 10:58

winkle are you still planning to test on Saturday? I'm getting excited for you...FX

winkle2 · 03/05/2012 11:02

I will test maybe Saturday or Sunday ? I will speak to hubby about it. That will be 18/19 DPO.

I have zero symptoms though!

Maghribia · 03/05/2012 11:07

Count me in! If my first cycle of clomid works it would be an end of May BFP hopes, prays

I'm ttc DC1 - have been trying for four years and 1 MC.

RIBS · 03/05/2012 11:18

oooh winkle Its looking promising. Keeping everything crossed for you. Legs included as DP away and on the 2ww now. Is exercise supposed to affect implantation?? Ive never heard that, other than Zumba's not a good idea once your pregnant. I run about at least 10k a week, spinning, zumba and a intensive training class that men in the army struggle with. Is this where im going wrong?

morecoffee How do I put this, i dont rake about for it. TMI I know but, when having a number 2, i have a wipe and the number 1 end and see whats on the tissue, you can then see if its sticky, creamy or ew consistancy. Blush It works tho.

Ive updated my actually rather than vague testing date and popped your details in everythin..

Jacq I think you should be about right on your dates. I just add 2 weeks of from when I ov'd. Except AF eventually turned up 18 days after ov last month. FFS!!

scuba im with you girl - no symptoms. Feel bit queasy but theres a sickness bug going about, im bound to be getting that!

winkle2 · 03/05/2012 12:05

Maghribia - 4 years? You so deserve your BFP matey :)

RIBS - from what I've heard its good to exercise but not to start an exercise regime when TTC. So seeing as you do it already you'll be fine!

CraftyGirly · 03/05/2012 12:08

excellent, I don't already exercise - shame I'm now TTC so forbidden to start Grin

RIBS · 03/05/2012 13:15

no no crafty gentle excercise is always permitted. Grin I never know why they say that. Other than walking and swimming, what is gentle!! You cant go for a gentle run or a gentle kick boxing session.

Anyway, I was searching the net for any possible random symptoms i dont have but could convince myself i had, which is exactly what i promised myself i wouldnt do just looking at charting and stuff and this site was on about Cervical positioning. Whats that all about?

icequeenkate · 03/05/2012 13:35

Hello? May I join in? Have been lurking a bit and decided to declare my interest, as it were.

mc beginning of April, AF arrived 10 days ago, so now desperately having a go at ttc. DH knackered. Grin

Feel this is to be lucky month as when I entered AF date on the DDcalulator Blush the DD would be my birthday. Hmmm how to set myself up for a fall think I might be going mad.

[GRIN] Grin @ Crafty

Hi Mag welcome and I have 4 years worth of fingers crossed for you fx fx fx fx fx fx fx etc etc Smile

All crampy pains have gone for me now so ov is most definitely over but I'm going to try and DTD every other night all through my cycle and into the next if needs be.

winkle there's not always symptoms though are there? Everything crossed for you and the utmost respect for you being able to hold out to Saturday or Sunday.

jaquelinehyde · 03/05/2012 14:02

Ice Grin I hadn't thought about working out a due date just in case I get a bfp Grin Now you know what I am off to do straight away.

Welcome to the thread and fx that this month is the month for you and the rest of us that are hanging in there!

RIBS · 03/05/2012 14:35

Welcome mags and Ice

Sorry about the mc. We've had a few on this thread we know what your going through. Hopefully you'll get "back on the horse" soon. X

I dont know is its because im at work on my own today and a lttle bit bored but im knackered, wanting to put your forehead on your desk and snooze - tired and still queasy and starving. (thats not unusual for me tho tbh I eat like a horse)

Bloody hell jacq I hope you get your BFP or AF soon or your DP is gonna be exhausted. Mine told me to leave "it" alone purleeease after I started wagging it about again last night and grinning!

jaquelinehyde · 03/05/2012 14:49

Grin @ wagging it about!! Love it

I see the constant shagging more like enjoyable exercise. Dh and I could both do with losing weight so I am just showing him how much I care by assisting him with his weight loss. Grin I'm just always thinking of others!

RIBS · 03/05/2012 14:55

Good job your not as "caring" for others. Or you might have a problem. Grin

jaquelinehyde · 03/05/2012 15:00

Grin Yes maybe volunteering at the local soup kitchen would be a more appropriate way to show how much I care for others!

RIBS · 03/05/2012 15:10

After a while longer your DH will wish he could just have soup and go to sleep.

Im trying to keep myself occupied during the 2ww and im about half way there, AF due a week tomorrow, ive not really been obsessing too much until today. But i AM going to wait until next Sat b 4 testing, so im late and TRY not to start testing mid week. DP on his jolly's til Monday now so Ive got a couple of girly nights planned, a busy weekend with DD, then out for my dads bday next week and a spa day so im hoping it keeps me occupied enough to leave the bloody sticks alone.

As soon as some1 posts thay'v tested early and got bfp that'l be my willpower gone!

mag im a fellow clomid-er, how are you finding it so far?
