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.

Got my fingers crossed it gets darker linda! Would be good to have a co-graduate to the an threads!

NewlymrsB · 29/04/2014 07:56

Yay congrats!! Love seeing people get their bfp!! Xx

theduchesse · 29/04/2014 07:59

Congrats fancy and Linda. The tail end of April has been very lucky! Let's keep it up through May!

spinningirl10 · 29/04/2014 08:04

Oh wow Linda that's fantastic news!!!

Congratulations, have you had any symptoms and how many dpo are you?

Congratulations FancyGrin

MrsExtraOrdinary · 29/04/2014 08:09

Well fancy that! Grin what great news Thanks

Linda keeping it all crossed for you Thanks

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 08:10

I'm not going with a positive yet but you never know Smile Not exactly sure how many dpo I am as I got a + opk on cd11 then ewcm (that's never went away) what I thought was ov pains on cd13 and I'm now cd24. My bbt chart looked like I ov'd later though which means it would be too soon for a BFP. So will wait and see what the next couple of tests are like before I go all hyper and post stats, lol

spinningirl10 · 29/04/2014 08:13

Maybe all the cm was a symptom! Will be keeping everything crossed for you Linda, I've never had a hint of a second line on an ic!

hanflan · 29/04/2014 08:17

Ahhhh congrats Fancy and Fx for you Linda! It's getting all exciting round here haha.
This weekend's shagathon has left me with the UTI from hell. Ughhhh. Also not actually sure when I ovulated as still had bad ov pains and lots of ewcm yesterday?! Maybe I'll take it as yesterday to be safe. Have dtd every day for the last week so I think we covered all bases!

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 08:28

I've tested the past 2 days and never saw anything but in the past I've saw a little line that was false so no hopes up just yet

ChandlersFarang · 29/04/2014 08:29

Fancy & Linda!!! Yeeeeeaaaahhhh!!! Loving the success rates this month, I hope they are catching!! Envy

Once you're ready & sure we'll all be wanting those stats of course... Grin

NewlymrsB · 29/04/2014 08:33

I hope these BFP are contagious lol!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/04/2014 08:39

Looking back at you chart Linda, you could well have ov'd at cd13 and the dip was what is called a fall back rise. That would have put your dip yesterday at 10dpo which is perfect implantation time!

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 08:46

If it was implantation I wouldn't get a line yet though would I English? I had my previous bfp's at 10 dpo though but I know that means nothing. Och I'm not gona stress about it, today I have a wee line and tomorrow I might not Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/04/2014 08:55

I got a line the day after what I assume was an implantation dip When i got my bfp in Dec. Fx for you!!!

ChandlersFarang · 29/04/2014 09:04

Temping fans... Is there a case for temping as well as using OPKs/a CBFM? Would it add anything or tell you anything you wouldn't know otherwise?

Funny old game this one isn't it - yesterday I convinced myself I was preg and had loads of symptoms, yet today have explained them all on other things and decided i'm definitely not! Confused

gennibugs · 29/04/2014 09:09

Fingers crossed Linda -sounds promising!!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/04/2014 09:11

Temping will only tell you if and when you have ovulated Chandlers. Even a positive opk or peak cbfm reading doesn't guarantee ovulation. After ovulation your temp stays up until af shows, when it'll dip back down. If you are pg it should stay up.

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 09:18

Thank you English, you've been a great help with all the temping info for me Smile

MelMc73 · 29/04/2014 09:34

Yay!! Congratulations fancy and fx for you too Linda.....hope the line gets darker. I'm 6 dpo at the moment and have been feeling quite nauseous for almost 24 hours now. Woke up in the night feeling dreadful! Can I test at 10 dpo...that would be Saturday.

Welcome newly....you've been very busy lol!

ChandlersFarang · 29/04/2014 09:45

Intriguing. I have a feeling I'll be ordering a thermometer then... They don't sell the sensitive ones you need for fertility temping in Thailand. Very annoying. Every time I learn about a new 'thing' I should have it takes 2 weeks to be delivered!!! Aside from the pink grapefruit juice, of course.

ChandlersFarang · 29/04/2014 09:46

In fact... What thermometer is the one you use? I assume some are better than others. Amazon is taking a caning!!! Wink

ChaircatMiaow · 29/04/2014 09:50

Congrats fancy!! Thanks

Linda, fingers and toes crossed!

Chandler, I just got a thermometer on eBay and it's perfectly fine. Just make sure it's a basal one.

Spotti · 29/04/2014 10:02

Wooooo fancy!!! I'm so pleased for you Grin. You're not allowed to leave us yet though - you're too funny and I'll miss you lots!

Well I've got 2 lines on my IC OPK and EW Lucas has come to visit so it's looking like DTD time for us. I'm on day 12 here so quite early in my cycle to be OVing but I suppose it 'fits' in with the average day 14 OV date...I just have an extra week of torture at the end of my cycle. Can't decide if I'm pleased or if I really cba...

Someone slap me and remind me why I'm doing this to myself (to get a baby dragon!).

Fx for Linda

kurama · 29/04/2014 10:05

fx for you linda you definitely deserve it! lol I've managed to convince myself im pregnant too lol. alhough nipples are not sensitive today im still getting little stabby pains. dry mouth with nasty taste lol Dragon roar Grin

hanflan · 29/04/2014 10:14

Yeah any basal thermometer will do, I got one from Superdrug and it seems quite accurate!

Right, my Fertility Friend chart is now telling me I most likely ovulated yesterday, due to presence of cervical lucas and another +opk... so I'm going to take that to ovoid testing too early. So here's to 1 dpo #2! Grin
