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.

OMG Spotti now he is exactly who I will be imagining every time I mention my CL, lol Grin
Your going to have your hands full with all those dogs, I'm so jealous, love dogs but kids are allergic Hmm so we got fish, but sadly the last one went to fish heaven last night so now the boys want a rabbit Smile

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 10:39

I'm not sure spinning, +opk on cd 11 and on cd 18 now, pretty sure going by pains and sore boobs I ov'd on cd 12 so maybe 6dpo

Lol Linda. Poor old fishy Sad.

Can't say I particularly like rabbits. They can make nice pets if handled daily from being very tiny BUT as soon as they hit 6 months, if they're not handled a lot then they can turn into beasts. And this is coming from me who loves animals! OH made noises about wanting a rabbit a few months ago...thankfully he's gone off idea because I was NOT looking forward to having clean it out. Got nothing against rabbits in general, I just really didn't want him to have one because it would have been me who did all of the looking after (and as you can tell with my horse, 2 or maybe 4 dogs, the house, a part-time job, 2 start-up businesses and my little penis dragon who will clearly be making themselves known this month - I have enough to doing with my time without adding a rabbit into the mix!).

Although I don't mind the doggy additions...and I would find time/room if a big shire horse named Billy wanted to come and join the family...but a rabbit? Meh.

Rant over. Dragon-shaped Cake for anyone who is still here!

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 11:14

I don't want a rabbit either, oh's dad has one and it's huge and evil, like straight out of hell evil, even their dog is scared of it, lol.

Starbright24 · 23/04/2014 13:04

Lol. Dog scared of a rabbit!!

Day 18 blood test for me. A week before af due anyway so think it's probably the same.
I went to the nurse first who after having 3 attemps to get some out, pronounced me dead and sent me up to the hospital - where they managed to get some first ho with a tiny needle so it took ages to fill the 5 little tubes.
Roar! Dragon Dragon Dragon

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 13:14

Haha Star that made me lol, so your basically a zombie then Grin
How long will the results take? I'm getting my bloods done on Friday

EnglishGirlAbroad · 23/04/2014 13:58

I had an evil rabbit who has left me with a bite shaped scar on my hand. Don't do it!!! We'd love a dog when we come back but we'll be renting for a year and not allowed dogs! Also dh and I differ some what on what dog we'd get. Id like a cockerpoo (cocker spaniel x poodle), he'd like a 'real' dog!! We do have 2 very gorgeous cats though!!

Starbright24 · 23/04/2014 14:16

I've got my follow up appointment at the gps on 8th of May. Got to get oh to deposit his swimmers in a cup as well to get tested. He seems reluctant.

xBlueberry88x · 23/04/2014 14:19

Afternoon Ladies,

My DP wont let me have any more pets I REALLY want a dog or a horse stupid man says we'll end up being a zoo. Only have to pet rats and a fish tank at the moment pfft.

Star Hopefully the blood tests are helpful ive still got a few weeks till I find out want mine showed stupid doctors on holiday

Linda I had creamy cervical lucas last cycle towards the end and stomach pains etc grrr body playing tricks on me.

Day 6 today going to start the OPKS on Friday I think I dont want to miss anything, phone says I should ovulate next week.

Hope every one is good its raining here and im bored at work. Boss is in hospital with an infection and fever with that and the cancer hes not good at the moment.

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 14:20

I'm a cat person, always had them but had to rehome them when the kids started taking bad reactions Hmm I also had a papillon dog who we had to rehome as she started attacking me when I first got pregnant and now 2 dead fish, maybe we shouldn't have pets, lol

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 14:23

Star when we were meant to go to the fertility clinic a few years ago I found out 3 days before that I was pregnant and I've never seen my oh so relieved cause he didn't have to hand over his specimen, silly men eh? lol

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 14:25

Blue this is why I'm confused, I've still got about 10/12 days til af so I shouldn't be getting this now, unless af is coming very early, feel very crampy today so it could well be that she is

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 14:25

Oh and my oh would love a rat, are they good pets?

xBlueberry88x · 23/04/2014 14:39

Last month I had ovulation pains lots of cramps etc around cd14.

I then had 2 weeks of random stabbing pains in belly and what felt like pins and needles and cramps.

Plus creamy cm, bad stomach etc out bodies are bastards!!

Ive had loads of pet rats over the years I love them they are so funny and friendly very smart as well. I regret getting them such a big cage this time though takes me ages to clean it out.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 23/04/2014 15:00

Positive OPK!!! Thank god for that!! Now lets hope my temps show ovulation over the next few days!!

Moving on to May...Lets get start acting like Spring rabbits for BFPs in May.
lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 15:11

Oh fingers crossed for good temps English, good luck Smile

Blue I've only been off the pill since valentines day so it could just be my body still settling down from that.

xBlueberry88x · 23/04/2014 15:15

Good Luck English

Linda Ah that makes sense ive been off the Depo injection for 18 months now takes along time to get back to normal after that.

Spotti · 23/04/2014 15:18

Just reading blue's post then and misread 'creamy cervical Lucas' as 'dreamy cervical Lucas'. I quite like the latter! I'm going to call it dramy from now on Wink Dragon

Spotti · 23/04/2014 15:18

Dreamy even.

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 15:20

Haha, dreamy cervical Lucas it is then Smile

Starbright24 · 23/04/2014 15:32

I have to admit I did poas this morning - yes I know , way too early as only 7 dpo - but just to see in case we didn't have to go through the tests. Of course it was all shiny and white. Not even a hint of an imaginary line.

good luck english Grin

lindamagoo · 23/04/2014 15:39

Star I've got my ic tests just waiting to be peed on, will do one on Friday for the same reason Smile

Brummiegirl15 · 23/04/2014 15:58

Thanks viperama and everyone else saying apply for it. I have sent it off - because let's face it this opportunities don't come along very often.

However I and going to continue TTC and see what happens. I'm only trying now for the first time as all ex boyfriends before DP were utter knobs and I was then single for 8 years!!!!! So first time trying for me and DP as his ex was so much older than him and they never got round to it.

Anyway email from Amazon - my preseed is being delivered today. Hurrah!!!!

kurama · 23/04/2014 17:08

my preseed arrived today! pounced on dh when we got home today and now joining in with you ladies and udp..... also recieved a parcel which has gone in baby stuff cupboard and waiting on someone delivering another lol dh is gonna kill me when he sees the play mat and baby carrier but 15 instead of 65 and 30 instead of 70 I love 2nd hand stuff! Grin Grin Grin

toothachereturns · 23/04/2014 18:39

Help! I'm cd7 and just peed on an opk.... the 2 lines are as dark as each other! That means it's positive right?? It's a bit early in my cycle and I'm having absolutely no ovulation cramps (quite bad last month).
I'm very confused!!!!!Confused
