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?

Sorry for keeping you waiting, was just do annoyed with it all that I went back to bed!

I feel ok. I didn't feel pregnant iykwim?

Aiming for a valentines day baby :)

And I get to have lots of sex with my lovely hubby again so it's not all bad :)

winkle2 · 07/05/2012 11:27

I meant so annoyed!

tedmundo · 07/05/2012 11:29

Oh that AF is a bitch cruel mistress. Sorry she got you winkle.

winkle2 · 07/05/2012 11:33

Don't feel happy about another month of nagging OH to cut down on drinking :(

LittleMissSnowShine · 07/05/2012 11:39

Sorry winkle :(

RightUpMyRue · 07/05/2012 11:42

Do you think he'd consider changing what he drinks winkle? Not cutting down the amount but changing to a beer with lower alcohol content?

My DP did this and cut his consuption by half but he still gets to drink a few beers everyday whilst staying within the recommended limits.

winkle2 · 07/05/2012 11:47

Thanks littlemiss :)

Rue - what beer does your oh drink? Could try that tactic?

Can anyone explain why I got a smiley on OV on cd 16 and then AF 19 days later? That's a long luteul phase. Could I have ov'd later?

wishfulthinking1 · 07/05/2012 11:58

So sorry winkle- that's rubbish news. But... Like you say, valentines baby would be lovely!! Xxxx

32andready · 07/05/2012 12:00

Sorry to hear that Winkle Sad

RightUpMyRue · 07/05/2012 12:18

winkle, you may have trouble convincing him on these but....Tesco Value Larger. They're only 2% so very low alcohol. They're also something like 80p for a 4 pack so really are very good value.

Most of the supermarkets do their own value larger which is around 2% and all for around a £1 per 4 pack. If you're a real beer connoisseur then they'll probably make you hurl but if, like my DP, you like a beer or four at the end of the day to help you unwind then these are a pretty safe option to stay within the limits.

You could surprise him with a 4 pack and gauge his reaction? Probably one of barely concealed horror but I'm sure you're feeling like you'll try anything at the moment Grin

winkle2 · 07/05/2012 12:24

Lol hubs drunk that at uni once :)

We've just had a chat about switching to light beer and only having 2-3 in the evening a couple of times a week - hope it works!

LittleMissSnowShine · 07/05/2012 12:41

Winkle - I lived in the low alcohol section of Tesco / Sainsburys when I was pg with DS, seeking out drinks that had only one unit so you could nurse one all night at a party / barbecue etc without feeling like you were totally missing out! There's a great low alcohol cider Tesco / Sainsburys and a couple of other places do, that you can drink in a pint glass with ice and one pint of it is only one unit and when you drink with ice, it takes forever to drink! You and your DH could give that one a go, even if he was drinking it steadily all night he'd have a hard time getting above 3/4 units lol

Also I'm with you on Valentines Day baby - that was my due date when my mum was pg with me but I arrived 5 days late hee So maybe I'll end up being due on my birthday - that would be cool!

I'm on CD34 here tho....and noooo sign of AF anywhere.... But no real symptoms either so bracing myself for AF's stupidly late arrival later in the week. Hmm. Next cycle going to be using that weird drain blocker lube and doing the winkle a lot me thinks Wink

OpenMindedSceptic · 07/05/2012 12:52

Hi all,

AF got me yesterday Sad

winkle really sorry to hear that.

RIBS · 07/05/2012 12:59

Sorry Winkle.
What a shame. U waited so long as well b4 testing. Stupid cycles. They all should b 28 days, at least ud know where u were.
Try 2 have an easy day. X

LittleMissSnowShine · 07/05/2012 13:08

Sorry Openminded Sad

Well we'll all be company for each other on the June thread...

winkle2 · 07/05/2012 13:27

Sorry she got you openminded

DogEared · 07/05/2012 13:48

Sorry openminded :(

tedmundo · 07/05/2012 13:56

open minded sorry Af got you.,r

Not been a great day really. thankfully craftygirl kept our spirits up.

Still no bleeding but constant cramps. This is the longest run up to Af. I am only going to join June thread when there really is no hope.

RightUpMyRue · 07/05/2012 14:34

We had a real flurry of BFPs in April but May isn't being very fruitful for us, is it? Sad

You're obviously posher than we are littleMiss, with your swanky pisswater beers low alcohol larger Wink

jaquelinehyde · 07/05/2012 14:35

Sad Sad Sorry winkle and openminded that's really shite. Be good to yourselves for a few days and the get busy on that Valentines baby (which I really, really like the idea of)

Nothing to report here haven't run to the toilet yet today but I still don't feel 100%, hopefully just a bug that has now passed.

I'm getting slight twinges in my left boob but I'm trying not to read anything into it as I get twinges all over the place and that just makes me old not pregnant Grin

suzydelarosa · 07/05/2012 14:58

Think AF is here for me too - which is really odd as it's 5 days late, which is highly unusual. Think I'm gonna be giving up as it looks like DP's radiation treatment more than likely renders him infertile for 2 years or so; that takes me up to 44 and, well... them's the breaks! :(

Good luck everyone - good luck winkle and openminded for next month! PS much better to be an aquarius baby than a capricorn, def!

winkle2 · 07/05/2012 15:00

Hey Suzy me and hubs are capricorns!!

Sorry she got you too :(

tedmundo · 07/05/2012 15:00

I fancy a cold beer now after you lot banging on about lager!

Proper bank holiday. Watching bridge over river kwai.

tedmundo · 07/05/2012 15:07

Sorry suzy Af claims another.

I am Aquarius and basically ... We rock!

44 still possible. And 2 yrs may not even be the time it takes. Did they say up to 2 yrs?
