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.

Argh that's hard :( Give yourself a bit of time to get used to it so when you see her, you can paint on your biggest smile and give her a big congratulatory hug Smile

Spinning it was a beautiful day, what a send off he had. Never made the hospital, just home from the service, very drunk Smile

Pleased all went well Linda and drunk is good in such situations!

MrsGingerbread · 14/04/2014 21:38

Hello ladies.

Af has arrived a day early (25 day cycle - not great!) :(

So thought I'd better quickly hop on this bus before all the good seats are gone!

How are we all this evening?

Sparrowlegs248 · 14/04/2014 21:53

Hi mrsginge sorry to see you hear. All my cycles are 25 days. Occasionally 24! Means i get two goes at this May bus though so can't complain.

Sounds like your friend had a good send off linda and of course you needed the alcohol for medicinal purposes. Hope you feel better soon.

missmrs ugh instadiffer alert!! Not fair. I am not telling anyone that we are ttc so they don't even know to stfu not go on and on and on in front of me. Rarr.

Hi all, had AF last Saturday, the first one after coming off depo in July 13, I have 2 ds and a DSS, I'm now 31 and last ds was born in 2008, I have no idea how my fertility is, or how my cycle will be, so I'm just going to try and wing it as much as possible, and enjoy the baby making, I think the biggest obstacle will be my weight (ballooned after quitting smoking last march) and my love of chocolate doesn't help, nor does the immense craving for chocolate during AF! I don't know how to do the stats but I will be doing a test on may 5 if AF doesn't happen on may 3rd.

ChaircatMiaow · 14/04/2014 22:40

Glad to hear the service went well linda. Hope you feel better soon.

I am officially a fertility tracking app addict. I find that some can be out by a couple of days so it's better to diversify!!

JacktheLab · 14/04/2014 22:54

I've been knitting and watching one born every minute this evening so pretty good night in here :)

OBEM and then checking on my ds when he is the most cute (asleep) is enough to get those ovaries pinging I tell you all!

MissMrsMummy · 14/04/2014 23:54

Hi GossipWitch Love your name!

I also was on depo. I've been off it 12 months. First period came 5 months after last injection wore off. Periods settled Oct 6/7 months after last injection wore off. I am now pretty regular. If that's any help?!

MissMrsMummy · 14/04/2014 23:55

Ps well done for quitting smoking! As for the chocolate - I can't help as I love it too!

kurama · 15/04/2014 04:06

chocolate the week before/week of af is a must for me! im going spare at mo as ive ran outSad must buy more tomoro Grin hey ginger and hey to ant newbies.

MrsGingerbread · 15/04/2014 06:59

Hi kumara Chocolate is a medical requirement with af. I may have some chocolate buttons now. :)

Is anyone trying anything new this month? We are looking to reduce caffeine... which will be difficult!

MrsGingerbread · 15/04/2014 07:02

Starbright I hope 25 days isn't bad. :) I do wish my cycle were a little longer, my lp cycle is quite short.

Sparrowlegs248 · 15/04/2014 08:39

Ooh fellow depo users! I was on depo for 7 -8 yrs. Last jab sept 2012. Af arrived june 2013!! However, i have been spot on regular since then with 25 day cycles.

Sparrowlegs248 · 15/04/2014 08:41

Posted too soon....

Re the 25 day cycles. I was worried that it meant my LP was too short. However, used CB digi opk last month. Ov'd on cd 8!! Or rather positive on cd 8 so likely to ov cd 9 i suppose. Giving a 14 day LP.

Revelation!

kurama · 15/04/2014 08:53

ginger we drink decafe tea and coffee at home. I cant really taste any difference and neither can anyone else I guess, as noone commented about the coffee that I switched for decafe Wink

lindamagoo · 15/04/2014 09:12

Hangover free, I'm very surprised at this, lol Smile it's not looking like this is going to be our month, only on cd10 and I'm spotting for some reason and I feel like I'm getting thrush, grrrrrrr Angry

rambini · 15/04/2014 10:00

mrsginger we have invested in a cbfm this month. Fx! X

MissMrsMummy · 15/04/2014 12:06

I'm doing same as last cycle (basically using every tip I've ever read!) plus will start dtd straight after AF instead of waiting until nearer ov.

CD6 today and feint line on OPK so better get cracking!

JacktheLab · 15/04/2014 12:10

Just adding, I was on depo before our first one and it took ages to get my period once I stopped using it.

xBlueberry88x · 15/04/2014 13:30

Hi Ladies will probably be on this bus in a couple of days but saw you talking about depo....

I was on depo for 10 years it took about 8 months for periods to return and have been trying for a baby for over a year now.

Im so very scared its caused infertility and is not a good idea to google it when your worried.

kurama · 15/04/2014 13:41
