So I couldn't find a May thread, so I thought I'd start one for all of us who have dropped off the April thread.

Aunty arrived this morning so I 've just started cycle 4. TTC #2. Just had a long cycle so if this is the same length my most fertile time will be over Easter weekend.

So I might go all pagan and invoke some Spring fertility goddess. Or something. Or piss on some sticks.

?? Good luck, Spring Goddesses.

As someone said to me.. you ain't out until af shows up!Smile

toothachereturns · 20/04/2014 10:47

Right cd4.... af finished.... bring on the spring in DHs step! Wink

rambini · 20/04/2014 12:14

AF arrived this morning as expected. Now in bed in agony with a hot water bottle. Grr Angry However I know the pain will ease off in 24/48 hrs time. License to stay in bed and eat chocolate methinks! Feeling geared up for May though, it IS going to be our month this month. OPK at the ready, balance activ waiting in the wings, pre conception vitamins stocked up, coffee and alcohol abandoned, and it WILL work Smile Good luck to all others trying in May, fx for u all x

Hello all, Happy Easter!!

Just caught up on a few pages. Lol'd @ missmrs and the lubemare!!

I have been ferling v.low recently. Cycle bloody 12. I started with cb digis last month and had a smiley on cd8 so ws expecting the same this time. No smiley on cd8 or 9, but thought better dtd anyway, didn't enjoy it and was more interested in dh depositing the goods than enjoying the sex. Cried. Ugh. First real meltdown but managed to do it while DH was in the bathroom.

Feeling a bit better now - got the smiley this morning and dtd AND enjoyed it (sorry tmi...) and will aim for tomorrow too.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
How long after a positive do you keep going? I think you generally ov the day after the positive don't you?

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/04/2014 12:42

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/04/2014 12:49

Also meant to say sorry to those AF got.

I seem to be wishing my life away too bella just want to get on with it. Wondering if i can persuade dh to dtd again later but probably not a good idea. Best leave it til tomorrow i think. Then the dreaded tww.

Question about cb digis. Do i need to but a new pack with new 'holder' or can i get refills?

spinningirl10 · 20/04/2014 15:29

Rambini, sorry af got you. Enjoy your filmThanks

Notta, sorry you're feeling down, it's so hard sometimes and a little cry can help. No you can't buy refills for cb, seems daft that you can only buy them with the holder thing!!

We dtd last night and I'm now in the 2ww so can relax and enjoy dtd againGrin

kurama · 20/04/2014 15:49

I had morning at car boot today with dh, a friend and my dad. so many lovely baby things! and I didnt dare go look at them as I didnt want them thinking me crazy lolAngry wanted to hit the ppl I saw walking round with the bits I liked laterSad Blush . howz everyone doing today. ive gone back to blank circle so guess my tabs gave me a false reading on cb digi

sammyj85 · 20/04/2014 15:54

Hi, can I hop on board please? Don't mind standing!

Sammyj85 ttc#1 cycle 3. Cd 9. Going to try cb opks from tomorrow, hope they make a difference :-)

Good luck ladies!

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/04/2014 16:09

Thanks spinning i'm feeling better having had a positive cb this morning and enticing dh to dtd. Grin
Good luck to you!

Stupid idea with the cb digis isb't it? I might buy about 50, to tempt the Law of Sod into visiting me.

A friend of mine keeps trying to give me baby stuff kurama I have asked her to save it for me but don't want to collect it yet.

Welcome sammy and good luck. I only started cb digis last month. I got a positive on cd 8 but not til cd11 this time. So you can see how easy it is to miss!

hanflan · 20/04/2014 18:50

Right, AF has buggered off now. Let's get back to this baby making business! Fingers crossed that May is our month, and keeping my fingers crossed for all of you too! I have good feelings about May haha

kurama · 20/04/2014 18:53

nottai already have a few bits clothes,mosses basket and 3-1 travel system and changing mat from ebay and dhs baby mad aunt but i saw a really nice floor mat toy and rocker chair thing Grin

on the downside our flatmate has decided to tell us he finds out in 2 weeks if hes moving or not.... after saying he woundnt, so potentially we have just over a month to possibly find a new flat and pay for everything with money that is gonna have to fall from the sky as he knew when we moved in together we couldnt afford it without him and we agreed to stay together for at least 2 years....

i get stressed so easily so im about ready to give up ttc as im already trying not to curl up in a ball and cry when thinking about having to move from somewere i love. sorry to disrail the thread but ive had such a good day and now i wish i wasnt here Sad

MrsGingerbread · 20/04/2014 19:19

Awwww, hugs kurama

MrsGingerbread · 20/04/2014 19:44

Feeling washed out and run down - I have a history of anaemia and we are about to start our dtd marathon next week - AND dh is taking me out for steak tomorrow. Woohoo (sorry any veggies) - I was expecting him to suggest we ate more kale. :)

xBlueberry88x · 20/04/2014 21:17

Evening ladies,

Been feeling a bit down last few days I knew I would when af arrived I was so sure I was pg stupid body tricking me.

On to month 13/14 of trying getting increasingly depressed and desperately trying to feel better about things but I cant.

Hope everyone had a gd easter sunday.

On phone so cant see all posts.

kurama sorry about the flat mate try not to stress out to much im a good one to talk

Welcome sammy

ginger I know how you feel at least your dh is trying to help

kurama · 20/04/2014 23:08

thanks blueberry just so depressed at the idea we mighy have to move again I just wanna cry

Spotti · 21/04/2014 06:45

Suppose I should officially move over from the April bus and take up my reserved seat...

New stats are Spotti, TTC #1, cycle 5, BFP due 23rd May.

Can't believe it's been 5 months already! Got to stop wishing my life away.

OH suggested OPKs this month. I bought some in Feb but never got round to using them (which he didn't know I had LOL) so I suppose here comes the crazy does he know what kind of crazy he's unleashing? I doubt it!.

Bless him though, just before suggesting OPKs he asked when are my 'best few days to get pregnant this month?', to which I had to reply 'not entirely sure', hence the OPKs. Hoping to not go too bonkers with them and hoping not to need them for too long who am I kidding?.

So yeah, hi again ladies. Hope you're ready for a bonkers Spotti this month!!!

kurama · 21/04/2014 07:55

sorry your having to join us spotti. hope everyones ok today and hasnt eaten too much chocolate!Grin

spinningirl10 · 21/04/2014 08:10

Kurama fx your friend doesn't move on and you can stay where you are.

Blueberry, I really hope you get your bfp soonThanks

Hi spotti, it's quite quiet over here at the moment! Opk's are a good idea I think, fx for this cycleGrin

alizeeod · 21/04/2014 09:25

Hi ladies, I've been on the April thread for a week but my AF is due May 2 so technically I think I should be on this thread too? Who knows, could be your BFP? It's my first month TTC my 1st so unlikely but you never know. DP and I have been DTD pretty much daily! I'm 27 by the way. Good luck everyone ;-)
