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.

I get it too. I'm kind of the other way round though. I like my job and my team but it's a project and I don't want it to come to an end when I'm on mat leave. So thinking I need to find something more secure within the same company. But obviously I don't want to start a new job and then get pregnant straight away. But also I don't want to leave my job when I actually might not get pregnant for ages! So it's all a ball ache when you're TTC I think!

That company does sound amazing though! No harm in applying and seeing what happens?!

cowbiscuits I play that. Very addictive!

blueberry I'm not convinced you should get the fertiliser. That did make me laugh.

I swigged down tesco chesty cough medicine this month - didn't make any difference to me but used pressed so fx.

6 dpo and getting urges to poas - someone give me a slap. Far too early but getting lots of imaginary symptoms which I've had before with no positive outcome.

Star I used the boots stuff last month and it didn't work, this month I used it cause I actually had a cough and it worked

Star.....I'm only 3/4 dpo and desperate to poas obviously I will wait! Feel so rubbish today and keep wondering if its a symptom although I know it's too early!!

Brummie.....I would apply for the job and see what happens, you might regret it if you don't try

Spotti, 23, TTC #1, cycle 5, BFP due around May 23rd

(a week before my birthday! Come on penis dragons, give me a lovely big fat little birthday present and don't make me be in pain and bleeding on my birthday )

I've been drinking grapefruit. Seemed to work last month but then I read it was meant to be pink and
I'm drinking golden?! Anyone got any experience of this?!

Are we doing EDD's too? If so, mine is Jan 30th.

(Sorry to faff you about english!)

Oh god, EDDs, I can't even think that far ahead haha. Just want my fecking bfp first! haha

Have been scrolling back like a mofo but can't find where the popularity of chesty cough syrup and grapefruit juice gets explained...? Sorry! If anyone could enlighten this newbie that would be great

Hilarious (ahem) story for you all by the way, am using the clearblue monitor thing, which is a total nazi about when you can test in the morning. Just got home from a trip to Australia and all out of sync so peed in a little cup and hid it behind the bathroom bin so dh didn't have to witness the weirdness... Anyway our lovely sweet new cleaner started today... Obvs totally forgot what i'd done earlier until it was TOO LATE and she'd left... Went in the bathroom and found she'd emptied the bin and cleaned all around the little pot which was sitting in the middle of the floor... OMG. How do I look her in the eye again?!!!!! Will she even come back...?! All to be revealed...

Thanks all, I think I will still apply - closing date isn't for another week and it's a big corporate so it would no doubt be a slow process.

And as DP tactfully reminds me, I haven't even applied for said job yet never mind got it.

Brain working overtime and running away with myself with possibilities. Which is why I had truly convinced myself I'd have a BFP after trying for the very first time. I'm a bit wiser now.

So preseed, cough syrup, grapefruit juice and opk's are way forward in May!!!!!

And don't forget the pineapple after ovulation

omg chandlersfarang that really made me laugh! NEVER look her in the eye haha. What must she think?!

Wheres the best and cheapest place to get preseed dp is unaware of the money I keep spending and I need to try behave

Chandlers LOL how funny poor cleaner

oooo id like to know about the grapefruit to does it matter what colour???

Lol Chandlers, how embarrassing

The cough bottle and grapefruit help with the cervical Lucas for fertility if you are usually quite dry

I use conceive plus instead of preseed, so between that and the cough bottle I was well oiled this month

That would be mucus not Lucas, damn phone, lol

Wow this is a busy thread today!

Toothachereturns, 36, ttc#3, on cycle#3, due BFP 14th May.

Hi

Can I join you all here? AF has booted me off the April bus today.

New stats: TTC#1, cycle #3. BFP/AF due 20th May.

Haha Linda, I think cervical Lucas sounds better than cervical mucus

Cervical mucus sounds so horrible lucus alot let icky lol

Welcome choco

Less* icky god I cant spell!

Off to grab the dp now af has buggered off I hate waiting a week lol

Haha, well just so you all know I've still got loads of cervical Lucas, 7 days now, SYMPTOM???

hey i have a question, this morning when i tested i got a solid smiley on cb opk, ive had pains on right for most of day and now its moved to the left side, but i just did another test to make sure and i got a blank circle... maybe i didnt wait long enough or drank too much??? ive been so excited today as ive never had a positive result ever in the two years weve been trying..

Kurama I used the digis for the first time this cycle and got a solid smiley on cd 11 in the morning but blank circles after that, think you may have still ov'd though cause I'm sure I did

nooo! only managed to dtd on sunday so far! must dtd tonight and attack dh again tomoro as soon as he gets home :'(

Hello all, putting one foot on (don't mind standing if there are no seats left!) as my cycles have been weird. My tracker app reckons AF - sorry: BFP of course!!- is due 28th April but I've ov'd later than it thinks I should have done (useful...) so I'm really only 6dpo. I'm on the April bus too just in case. Managed to stay calm and collected until everyone just fecking irritated me today! SYMPTOM??? Feeling super tearful, irritable, have spots on my chin and forehead (hardly ever get them), really thirsty all the time and constant sensation (not really pain as such, just odd feeling) on the left by my ovary...but I'm 6dpo, so must be in my head.

Stats: 33, ttc#2, cycle#5, bfp early May (1st?), edd 6th January (just like #1!)

Happy pounding for those on smiley faces roooaaarrrr
