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.

Ooohhh cervical Lucas! Best typo.

PMSL at Cervical Lucas. Is he a gynaecologist?????

chandlers your cleaner story is brilliant! I'm sure if your cleaner is a woman she'll deduce what the cup of wee was for - lol. Hopefully there were pee sticks in the bin?

Brummie def apply, if you get it it'll get you a BFP for sure! I'm a year older than you and TTC #1 as well. If it were me I'd go for both but prioritise a baby if push comes to shove, years from now I won't give a toss about what work I did but I would regret not having a little sausage.

I'm so worried I've missed my chance, it took me so long to decide it's for me as it's such an important commitment and if I was to be a mom I wanted to feel I'd be able to be the best. I just want one, it's not too much to ask surely!?

How long has the dragon been there?

Oh st George's day ...Hah

Oh we must enjoy those dragons on the other thread while we can!! Lol.

How are you doing Nordic?

ok ive officially lost the plot. as I got a solid smiley this morn I attacked dh tonight and now im laying here with a pillow under my arse and my knees on my chest with dh snoring next to me. you l9t have all given me insane ideas lol

Ah karuma! half bridge in yoga is my now post coital default position. I'll be in that in about 45 minutes I recon. Probably tmi for everyone but to try and keep the goodies in I've been going to sleep on a towel straight after and staying put until morning. Oh the shame!

I dont sleep on a towel but I normally dont move for rest of night lol. blank circle again which I suppose would be normal..... just keep thinking that yesterdays test is wrong so I want to keep testing. .....

I literally flip my legs over my head and hook my feet into the head board of our bed after DTD!! Stay like that for 10 mins and then grab a cushion and sleep with that under my backside! No lost swimmers for me!!

love the dragons
ouch! Fed up with ovulation pains. Seems to be my regular thing now. Days worth of it. Got them for the last few cycles. One side hurting slightly more than tge other each cycle. This time it's right. I'm going to take it as positive that I'm ovulating
Have felt really full over last couple of days and sort of but not quite crampy Symptom spotting lol!!

My dp came in this morning and asked if I was pregnant!! He says my symptoms yesterday were exactly the same as when I got my bfp before!! I thought this but at 5/6 dpo it's surely too early to have symptoms?! Ah I hate symptom spotting!!! Gonna be a long few days

my AF pains are almighty... :( I don't know if it's because of my last long cycle but this is a very bad one eugggh

Cervical Lucas pmsl! Did another CB ov test last night when I got home and lo and behold SOLID SMILEY!!! Woohoo!! Texted DH to let him know then explained the meaning when he got home. Went away out to the gym and came home to him guzzling beer. Not amused! I had one bottle of Corona and he had 5 cans of Stella (I thought he only had a couple)....anyway, bedtime came along...started to DTD...which went on and on and on.....stupid penis dragon was drunk and not playing the game . Well I was not amused!! Anyway, made up for it this morning instead.

How long after the solid smiley should we DTD for?? I had the flashing smiley yesterday morning and then the solid smiley in the evening so the LH surge must have occurred during the day. The CB instructions say this is peak fertility and that you should ovulate in the next 12 to 36 hours so I'm guessing we should have another couple of goes before the dreaded 2WW.....any thoughts people .

kurama I reckon it could have been because you had drank too much. Its says not to drink too much before you intend to do the test. Have you tried again this morning? I just had first positive opk this month as well and had 3 days of flashing smiles before solid one.

Morning all I'm obsessed with my cervix these days! It has been high for over a week and cervical Lucas is still hanging around! Is this normal from cd 11 to cd 18? Starting to wish I'd never started checking it.

I can't help think of Lucas = Lucas films = star wars = darth vader when ever you say it linda. Lol. Sorry geek alert maybe a younger harrison ford would be better to think of

Anyways. Off for blood tests in about an hour. Anyone know what any of the letters mean - F, G, L, Prog (think i can guess that one), TFT, UE.

Morning! can I jump on the May bus? I've not been on a bus since the September one in a quest not to think about TTC too much. But after AF arrived this morning I could do with the solidarity.

Reading the thread this morning has made my head a bit straighter It's nice to know I'm not the only one who finds it difficult to hint to DP when we need to DTD. The early months were a nightmare, we don't exactly DTD like rabbits but I thought that he'd realise if I was initiating it that he should man up. After a couple of months of massive frustration at him not getting the hint I had to sit down and explain the menstrual cycle to him. How can you get to 40 without knowing about that? I have no idea what he thought happened?! So for the last three cycles we've been DTD regularly around OV time and two months ago I got a CB OPK. Fingers crossed for this month. I'm going to buy some lemons

Good luck everyone

Stepawayfromthezebras TTC #1, Cycle 10, AF BFP due 20th May

Lol Star I will imagine Harrison instead

Is it day 21 bloods you are going for?

Morning Stepaway, welcome and good luck I don't hint to my oh I just tell him straight, if you want this as much as me then get up those stairs, lol

yes I've stopped hinting now. The poor thing just gets told!

mel yes I did another when I woke up at 6 and it was a blank circle again. not sure what to think really. but gonna dtd for next 2 days then go back to eod and im gonna keep testing till I run out

He he, loving the cervical Lucas (although in my head, the handsome gynaecologist, looks like 'Lucas' from One Tree Hill...I think his real name is Chad Michael Murray - see pic

• banco? Wtf? That was supposed to say "I think I mentioned a while back". Stupid iPad.

Ooh have I missed something about lemons?? What should I be doing with them?!!

Broody....really pleased your af has arrived, although sorry she's not being kind to you. At least you know where you are now!

And Linda, maybe it's good that you're still getting all the cm?!! Could be a sign, how many dpo are you now?
