Moving on to May...Lets get start acting like Spring rabbits for BFPs in May.

[cowbiscuits]

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.

Thanks ladies, do you have to be ttc for a certain length of time before they'll check the swimmers?

nordicmom flowers for you.

According to NHS website "If you've tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for a year or more through regular unprotected sex, it’s time to see your GP. If you're a woman over 35, or if you think that either partner may have a fertility problem, see your GP after six months of trying."

I have been off contraception for a year now so doctor was very reassuring and he was telling me what next steps are. I'm 38 and a lot of things I've read say to go the doctor after 6 months of trying - but I kept on thinking next cycle...next cycle. If you are age 35 or lessI think I is a year before they advise to go to gp.
You could probably go before though.

I'm under 35 so will wait longer, but no more ttc after this month anyways, I guess I could go when we start again in oct/nov time and see what they say. I'll mention it to oh, see if it makes him think!

Nordic, I can't imagine going what you've been through, hugs to you

Hibou....I posted yesterday with the same problem, there's a few of us around. It is so hard dtd on demand and it does get frustrating

Aw Nordic I hope you are ok

I'm not sure what's going on with my body just now, had quite bad tummy and back cramps since last night Hope it's not late ovulation coz oh is on night shift this week so we can't dtd again but maybe it's implantation? You never know

I really hope that i'm close to ovulating now...some ewcm and cervix is pretty high so with a bit of luck I might actually get a positive opk soon! FX!!

Sorry you're feeling down nordic. Is it worth going to see your gp, see if he can run some tests. I know you've probably been down that route when ttc your other dc, but it might shed some light on things.

I'm off to the gym to try to shed some chocolate weight! Feel so fat and lethargic!!

sorry you feel down nordic. yep im deff gonna ov soon. started getting pains on right side. although im worried as the right side is the side thats messed up the past 2 months. good luck to the teachers going back today

Ok so I've just been to the loo and a clump of whitish stuff came out of me? What's going on? Arghhhhhhh!

Hello can I join? I've been hanging onto march & april bus as I've just had a 76 day cycle. Very strange. But AF is here so if I go back to a 33day I think I'll be due 25th May. Broodysnoopstie ttc #1 cycle 9 bfp due 25th

Morning Ladies,

When shall I start with my opks (First month trying them).

I had ovulation pains last month so im pretty sure I know when im ovulating but I want to make sure.

Welcome Broody 76 days ouch thats a long cycle do you know if you ovulated and when?

Linda I get that around ovulation not sure if its different for everyone.

Back to work today argh had a nice weekend of relaxing.

Trying to be positive this month come on BFP !!!

Hi blueberry I think I didn't ov in feb/march which is why the crazy long cycle but then ov 16days ago (pain ewcm and pos opk).. and AF finally arrived on time today

Least you know you are ovulating just annoying that cycle was so long.

My doctor said it didnt look like I was ovulating but ive had quite regular cycles (28-31 days) there was only one hiccup where I had pretty much constant AF for a month grrr but that was last year.

Hi girls! Ive been away hiding until it was time to start cb digi opks!
First one this morning but it was a dud so saving up pee so I can try again. Not sure when I'll ovulate but hoping it will be in the next week :)

Oh broody I hope your cycles settle down now. So frustrating when they are so long

Blue I started my opk's on cd 10, glad I did cause I got my positive on cd 11

Sorry af got you broody, but glad you're finally out of that long cycle!! Hopefully this one will be nice and normal. Mine is already looking to be longer than normal for me!!

Right ladies, i'm gathering all stats. So if you haven't already can you pop them up. I want :

Age, TTC#, CYCLE # and BFP due date.
Will get stats sorted in the next few days.

Thanks Linda I might start soon then so i can work out my cycle.

Hi Toots

Blueberry- 25, TTC no1, Cycle approx 13, BFP due 15th May

lindamagoo, age 42, Cycle #2 TTC #3, BFP due May 4th, EDD Jan 11th

blue how frustrating do opks work for you? Or do you get any other signs?

kurama ttc#1 cycle 20ish bfp 12th may ovulating today. horray to clomid finally kicking in after 3 months. cd 10 and solid smiley

Morning (or almost afternoon!) all. Hello to all the new ladies moving over from the April bus too....sorry to hear no BFP's though. There seems to be a lot of you down in the dumps for one reason or another so this is for you.... . Hope you all feel better soon xxx. Hibou, sorry for the problems with DH...they can be so insensitive sometimes.

Busy Easter weekend for me....DH and I are at it like easter bunnies (sorry tmi!!).....we're on our 3rd flashing smiley in a row so going for it everyday....just waiting for that solid smiley now to confirm if I'm going to ov or not. Hoping it will be tomorrow as the opk line was almost same as control line today after being quite faint the last 2 days. On CD11 at the moment and the fertility friend app says I should OV tomorrow. Fingers crossed. I'm feeling really positive this month.

lindamagoo what is the cough medicine called you've been taking?
Must also get some grapefruit juice or presumably eating grapefruit has the same effect?! I love grapefruit....bonus !
