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've been trying the temp thing even though I don't sleep great, it was going ok, dipped the day of predicted ov and went right up the day after, then down a little but the last 4 days have all been the exact same. Is that normal? Shouldn't really be temping when I know nothing about it, lol

Starbright24 · 26/04/2014 12:39

I've only been temping a couple of cycles...very wiggly lines but can see the overall shape of them and def dip at ov and higher after and drops on af day again. These last 2 days though it has been higher than norm.

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 12:41

All the charts I've seen have been up and down most days that's why 4 in a row the same has confused me

toothachereturns · 26/04/2014 12:49

I'm giving up with opks. I think Tesco ones must be duff. I got a +ve on cd6, -ve cd7 then a +ve cd8. Dh isn't complaining of course, we've had to dtd lots just in case! Grin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/04/2014 13:00

Going back to names, nothing goes with our last name, it's utterly dreadful. You'd all wet yourselves laughing if you knew! It's taken me 2 years to actually get my driving licence changed from my old married name. Dh hates I've been married before and carried on using xhs name after we were married. Well it's not much fun being Mrs Bottom!

theduchesse · 26/04/2014 13:47

That's so exciting star. Go and get a frer. A bfp before the month even starts would be ace.

theduchesse · 26/04/2014 13:49

That sounds so confusing toothache. I know nothing about opk's so can't offer any useful advice but I'm glad at least your dh is happy Wink.

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 13:51

Lol Mrs Bottom, shouldn't laugh but couldn't help it Smile

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/04/2014 14:42

Linda I'm not really mrs bottom, but it is equally as awful ! Blush

Starbright24 · 26/04/2014 14:42
Smile mrse - or should we say mrs b

I asked oh if he wanted anything from the shops as cupboards bare and good excuse to go buy a frer. He has spent the last hour devising a shopping list and is now copying it out again neatly and in shop order in between watching rugby - sigh - no hurry dear. I'm not going silently crazy here. I haven't said anything to him and won't till I'm sure. But I do wish he'd hurry up Smile

MrsExtraOrdinary · 26/04/2014 14:44

Starbright? Where did you find him? I've never known a man able to write a list let alone in order? Alas Dh just struggles to cross things off! Grin

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 14:48

MrsE I'm now very curious about the name Grin

My oh is a list maker and he does the weekly shopping aswell, says I take too long and spend too much

spinningirl10 · 26/04/2014 14:55

Haha Mrs.Bottom Grin That made me chuckle, sorry. It could be worse!

spinningirl10 · 26/04/2014 14:57

Wow, men making lists?!!

My dp would never make a list....he just tells me to remind him what he needs to do!

Lunawolf · 26/04/2014 15:03

Can I join? Smile

Just finished AF after a chemical. I was going to wait a month but I can't bring myself to have a break.

TTC #2 cycle 15. Loads of vitamins, yoga, protein and green tea Grin

Good luck everyone!!! X

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 15:08

Welcome Luna, love your name Smile

I've started symptom spotting like a crazy woman, driving myself insane already Smile

spinningirl10 · 26/04/2014 16:23

Linda....was just coming on to write that same!! It's madness! I guess we always have hope in the tww but it's really dragging this timeGrin

spinningirl10 · 26/04/2014 16:29

Hi Luna and welcomeGrin

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 16:42

Spinning it's shit isn't it? I have to say this is the worst I've ever been in the 2ww and I'm putting it down to using they softcups! Convinced myself that if they've held the swimmers in all night then how can I not be pregnant? That and my very sore nipples Smile

spinningirl10 · 26/04/2014 16:52

Haha I've been sat in the hairdressers for 3 hours. Not eaten for hours and suddenly got indigestion! Must be a symptomGrin

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 17:13

I've had an upset tummy. SYMPTOM? Grin

xBlueberry88x · 26/04/2014 17:29

afternoon ladies im trying to catch up so bare with me.

Ive had names picked out for children for years but dp never agrees we have one boys name we agree on and a girls name but we'll see it took ages to agree on those names lol. I always liked Isabelle but now everyone names their kids.

Kurama my brothers called kai means king of food and something todo with the ocean in hawaiian I believe

Our kids are going to end up with a double barrelled last name as well as a middle name because dp refuses to get married and I dont think it would be fair for everyone but me having the same last name. so the kids will have both our names.

Star fx for you

Luna welcome to the mad house

hello to everyone else.

fertile week starts monday feels like this month is taking forever

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 17:36

Blue I'm in that boat! Only one in the house with a different surname but we will get married, well one of these days we will Smile

lindamagoo · 26/04/2014 17:46

Ok so I've mentioned I don't have a clue when it comes to temping so could someone please tell me from my pic when (if) I ovulated?

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