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.

Welcome back rambini and good luck Smile

Viperama sorry to see you on this bus, hope this is a lucky bus for us all Smile

Viperama · 12/04/2014 13:15

Thanks Linda, we need some pregnant ladies to pop in and sprinkle some baby dust around maybe?

Spinning any cream eggs left? I adore them Smile

KittyVonCatsington · 12/04/2014 14:04

Hi rambini! Haven't told that TA to piss off yet??! You are a better woman than me Grin

rambini · 12/04/2014 14:23

Haha kitty been SO tempted! I am finding it really hard to be gracious for her. So frustrating when you get people who so much as look at a penis and they get upduffed and I know I am being unfair but it just doesn't feel like they truly value or appreciate the enormity of their blessing. Especially when they choose to continue smoking and drinking and are very overweight. Makes me Angry

lindamagoo · 12/04/2014 14:44

rambini I'm a smoker and would still have something to say to her, I've gave up smoking every time I've ttc and stupidly started again after having them, but not this time, I'll be staying off of them for good (I hope). It's my addiction not my unborn child's. Their wee lives are far too precious to mess with.

KittyVonCatsington · 12/04/2014 15:39

100% agree with you, rambini. Last week, a friend texted to say she was pregnant and due when I was going to be. I told her what happened in the hope she might leave me alone (after telling her congratulations of course) and still continued to text including saying it was a surprise and was even drinking lots up until 2 months in. Not her fault at all but I envied her blissfully ignorance (and grrr'd at her lack of tact)! Am keeping a distance to stop me from getting upset. Shame you have to work with your TA!

Starbright24 · 12/04/2014 17:12

My TA went off at Xmas with maternity leave. Grrr. Kept on asking me if I wanted kids. I just smiled sweetly and said that'd be lovely.

CrispsAndChoc · 12/04/2014 17:22

Hi everyone. First bus I've 'jumped' on! Started trying last month. Was really hopeful and imagined I had all the symptoms until AF arrived this morning. Fingers crossed for everyone for May.

lindamagoo · 12/04/2014 17:33

Welcome crisps, is this going to be your 1st baby? And how long have you been ttc? x

Starbright24 · 12/04/2014 18:01

Hi crisp welcome back rambini and hope the antibiotics kick in soon linda

Bloody frustrating trying to get a gp appointment - its always, we're fully booked, try phoning tomorrow at 8am to see if there's space in a weeks time. - which I then forget to do as I'm getting ready for work. Hopefully will be able to get something over the holdays though. Think I'm at the 'what's next' stage after not being on contracteption for a year and also having lots of ov pain both sides for the last month.

ZebraZeebra · 12/04/2014 18:49

Good luck to everyone this month!

I'm continuing "dieting" - or rather just trying to eat sensibly and hope the weight just stays off.

Argh to so many pregnant women around. It's so hard. Try not to worry though, like Starbright says, just smile and say yes :) I dealt with a colleague getting pregnant before me last time very badly and I think I have permanently damaged our friendship, which makes me feel very bad. It can be hard on both sides - though this TA sounds like very annoying!

CrispsAndChoc · 12/04/2014 19:23

It is our first. I unexpectedly fell pregnant a while ago and I lost at 8 weeks. It made me realise how much I wanted a child. Been trying for around a month now. I've been reading the boards trying to work out the best times during my cycle and it's very confusing!

lindamagoo · 12/04/2014 19:43

Crisp I'm so sorry for your loss Thanks Are your cycles a normal 28 days? Have you used opk's? xxx

CrispsAndChoc · 12/04/2014 20:09

Thank you linda. I've been on the pill on and off for the best part of the last 15 years so I'm a bit unsure about my cycle to be honest! I do have endometriosis and have had cysts which won't help either but the doctors I've seen seem hopeful. I've just had a look at what opk's are-no not using them! I'll have a look into it, thanks.

MissMrsMummy · 12/04/2014 20:53

HEY :) round 3 of clomid starts monday!

Sparrowlegs248 · 13/04/2014 12:17

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a good weekend

kurama i have been so up and down recently. I've spent most of my life on some form of contraception which clearly levels my moods out. I seem to have a couple of hysterically giddy days towards the end of my cycle then my god does the mood drop! Grumpy low horrendous for a couple days just before af and the first day or two, then it miraculously lifts. Thinking of trying some sort of supplement.

DH has initiated dtd twice this weekend but sadly cd 3 & 4 is a bit early yet!!

Am starting opk cd 6 i think this time, got a + cd 8 last month.

kurama · 13/04/2014 13:16

notta I can get really moody around a week before af is due. then cd1 is normally spent curled up in a ball with a hot water bottle. and today im fine so not sure whats going on lol. got a good feeling about this month Smile how is everyone this weekend

Sparrowlegs248 · 13/04/2014 13:34

I've a good feeling too this month. Probably because i am a bit more 'informed' thanks to clearblue. Also if i get a + cd 8 again it will be thursday which is a good day for me to be dtd (plus friday saturday etc)

FX!
