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.

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 10:22

I still giggle when I read Lucas, has to be my best typo ever Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/04/2014 11:38

Are you temping too hanflan?

Spotti, if you ovulate earlier than normal it doesn't mean you'll have a longer wait for your bfp. Your luteal phase shouldn't alter by more than a day or two. If you ovulate earlier, you should expect your bfp earlier Smile

hanflan · 29/04/2014 11:43

english - I wasn't temping but have started as of now. I know, I know, I should have been temping but we were away for the weekend at a wedding, drinking lots and disturbed sleep patterns so I figured they would be all over the place anyway! Made sure we dtd every day just in case, and will temp properly from now on! Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/04/2014 12:03

I started temping half way through a cycle too...Good way to get into the habit!! Smile

Afternoon Ladies,

After bleeding a bit yesterday ive had a little bit of brown blood when wipe (tmi) but thats it.

Has anyone else had bleeding at cd12 ish?

To go with the mega migraine ive had since yesterday getting a bit annoyed that my fertile week isnt going as planned.

Congrats Fancy

Hi Guys, can I join?
Joined the April thread as a newcomer, but AF arrived this morning (I clung to all hope it was implantation pain and spotting but have to face facts now). Have been ttc for 2 years. Just moved home to a new area, new job, new doctor (hopefully might be better in fertility area than last GP). Fingers crossed for every1 for May!! :)

hanflan · 29/04/2014 12:24

Morning Naz, and welcome! May will be a good month, I can feel it. Sorry AF got you Sad

MrsGingerbread · 29/04/2014 12:43

Ohhhh, congratulations fancy and fingers crossed Linda. I missed an exciting morning!

I got my first ever lines on ic opks last week, so even though we didn't dtd that much fingers crossed it was at the right time!

Now 2dpo so I'm starting the tww (boo) which means I can start symptom spotting (yay!)
Does anyone have any unusual symptoms at the moment?

Come on dragonlet Dragon rawr!

victoria401 · 29/04/2014 13:48

Moving in from the dregs of the April bus. Af officially started about an hour ago after a false start on the weekend. Kind of feel better that I know where I am now.

Victoria401, 34, ttc#1 cycle 18 bfp due May 30th-ish

Right, this cycle I'm using opks and dtd from cd8! Hoping to do smep, which we failed to do last month. Hubby as no excuse as we are off work and on holiday during my entire fertile time! We're gonna be making that caravan rock n roll!

NewlymrsB · 29/04/2014 13:59

That's the spirit Victoria!

kurama · 29/04/2014 13:59

welcome naz Go victoria
ive started trying to downsize my stuff and start packing.i have 3 6ft bookcases all full! were moving from a 3 bed house to a 1/2 bed flat.... this is not gonna be fun Sad still trying to feel positive about getting my bfp in may. i only have 1 months clomid left after this and then i have to have a 2 month break before going back to see specialist.

gennibugs · 29/04/2014 14:04

Glad you came over victoria.

Sounds like your holiday is at the perfect time! I'm trying to convince DH to book a mini break for July when it will be "our week"

MelMc73 · 29/04/2014 14:31

Hi Victoria....welcome to May bus but sorry that AF got you. Sounds like you've got a busy time planned....can't beat a bit of caravan action lol!

spinningirl10 · 29/04/2014 14:40

Welcome to May bus Victoria, sorry af arrived, a few days away at your fertile time is perfect!

Naz83 · 29/04/2014 14:47

Hi kurama. I did exactly the same thing!! Moved from a 3bed house to a 2 bed flat and moving again soon!! Trying to get to know the new area. You'll be fine, just get the bedroom sorted first (wink wink). Good luck!!

Naz83 · 29/04/2014 14:50

We meet again Victoria! Hopefully this will be our month. I'm sticking to dtd every 2days once AF over. Hubby is not getting a choice!! I do suffer during OV though, high temperature, nausea, exhaustion and pain, makes getting in the mood a bit difficult. Any tips anyone?

victoria401 · 29/04/2014 15:37

Naz, I get really bad pain during ov for 2-3 days, ironic huh? Its as if your body doesn't want you to have sex to get preg! I just force on through the feeling grotty. Nothing else to advise sorry. i hate hormones

HKat · 29/04/2014 16:37

Hi Everyone -can I jump on board too please?! My circumstances are scarily similar to Naz's, had v light spotting at dpo 11 on Saturday that I hoped was implantation, but AF arrived properly this morning ??

I'm ttc #2, this will be cycle 4

fancyacupoftea · 29/04/2014 17:57

Thanks everyone. It feels really surreal.

Was just reading your chat about temping and OPKs and wanted to say that this is my 3rd month of trying and I have NEVER got a +ve OPK. Was using clearblue this month and every single little bastard stick was an empty face, taunting me with its bastardstickness. Have temped before but not this month, had already printed off a blank chart for next! In fact, had actually ordered 30 more IC bastardsticks last night - Law of Sod strikes again!

Starbright24 · 29/04/2014 18:06

Congratulations fancy and fx linda

lindamagoo · 29/04/2014 18:07

Hi HKat Smile

My pal had her first midwife app today, she's finally getting excited, so happy for her but now it's made me really really really want it to be tomorrow so I can test again and hope for a stronger line. Gona be a long night

victoria401 · 29/04/2014 18:09

I ordered a bag of 50 ic opks last month! Law of sod didnt work for me!

Good luck with your next test linda!

toothachereturns · 29/04/2014 18:40

great news Fancy!!! And hopefully be congratulations to you when you get your darker line tomorrow Linda. Grin

Victoria - sorry af has turned up properly, but like you said you know where you are. Smile

Well I'm on cd13.... had an odd +ve opk on cd7 and all negative since.... including today when I'm due to ovulate and having some twinges to indicate that. Hmm Any suggestions oh wise ttc-ers?

toothachereturns · 29/04/2014 18:46

Blueberry, could it be implantation bleeding?
