All aboard the May bus! We will be using the bank holidays to make our BFPs :)

[nightandthelight]

April was a lucky month, let's make May even better :) BFPs ahoy!

######STATS######

Separate tab for our lovely BFPs :)

Welcome birchy!

Can't really do anything now Flat until at least the morning and take it from there!

yes sarah our first. TTC past 6 months. previous 6 months nt preventing

flat not sure really - but thanks for asking! temp went back up today, but increasingly suffering with backache so feels like af is on the way.

teenie I think cbfm solid smiley predicts imminent ovulation. So you might not ovulate until 48hours later. If this is the case your lp would be shorter than 17days. Either way, fingers crossed the timing was perfect!

night swishy newborn hugs are the best

Fx for u birchy, we're ttc our first too, first month for us so still trying to figure everything out!

Hello! Any room for a new one? waves

Egog, 31, TTC #2, cycle 1.

Did I forget anything?

Just had my first AF since 2013, I'd forgotten how painful it is. Not sure when I should be testing, or when I'm likely to OV as it's been so long, so I think I'll be driving myself crazy this month!

Welcome birchy! Like sarah DH and I are trying for our first too.

Does anyone know how soon you can test and get reliable results? I just did one (NP) but I think I'm really rushing it.

thunder some people get bfp at dpo 8 or 9 bit the statistics say dpo 13.6 is average.
It's a painful wait. Last time I constantly examined this website that gives detailed statistics day by day (think its called countdown to pregnancy) However when I fell with my first, however much the stats said I could get a bfp early if you use particular tests, despite testing daily my body refused to produce a bfp until the evening of dpo15! And I tried and exhausted superdrug/boots/Sainsbury/internet cheapies etc etc!

You're probably testing too early. Keep the faith! Good luck!

thunder forgot to add - a negative isn't reliable until af arrives.
I feel your pain. I'm currently dpo 13 and tearing ny hair out!

Just done a cheap dippy strip. There is either the feintest of feint lines, or I've been squinting at it too much! Tried taking a photo but nothing shows on a pic

If no AF today, I'll use an FRER tomorrow morning (don't think I could hold a wee in long enough to do one today!)

Ooh maybe, that sounds promising!!

Fx for u maybe!

Good luck Maybe!

Thunder how many dpo are you? The recommendation is usually to wait until your AF is late as all tests will be 99% reliable by then :)

Hallo Maybelles!

######stats####### new bfp 31 May
#######
Xp.
Sadly af got me the day after I last posted. gutted At 8dpo but a 7 day lp which is an improvement on the 5 day ones from previous cycles. Ov-ed six days earlier on the soy last cycle which was a bonus in that this cycle will be shorter if trend continues.
Cd4 here now, still bleeding, back on the soy again for round two.
Was hoping the royals would name the baby Merlot or Pam or Bitsy, but no such luck

Welcome birchy and egog good luck to both of you!

Fx for you maybe!!

When are you due thunder? Fx it is just too early. Any symptoms?

Sucks for af aux

Woke up feeling shit today, thought I could make it into work so dh dropped of toddler but have decided against work and now I have a day on my own which is weird. Gonna try and sleep as toddler has been drooling on my face in our bed all night!

FYI ####name change###. New cycle. New life.

Apparently colours and foodgroups are hot for getting bfps these days.

Ah carlton sympathies. Drooler face is a common parenthood problem. I recommend gin to counteract any side-effects.

Chart of April cycle for those interested. Soy isoflavones on cd2-6. That line of steady temps before ov is quite interesting looking at my normal all over the show temps. Retrospectively the way my temps were dropping after ov I should have expected AF (progesterone please anyone?), but I was lured into a false sense of security by the cover line. fecking coverline

Thanks oddly yeah we DTD Sunday night and last night so can only hope timing was right... I've been cramping since yesterday so something is happening.

Welcome to birchy and egog

Maybe sounds promising, got my fingers and toes crossed for you!

Aux sorry to hear AF got you, sounds like you are making progress with your LP though.

I have my fx crossed for you maybe.

Welcome newbies. Hope you have a short journey.

Aux sorry AF got you but that's an improvement in your lp so you're getting there.

Carlton try getting some sleep and hopefully you'll feel better.

Good luck to everyone testing in the next couple of days.

Hi all, and welcome newbies!

aux fx for this month, and I can't keep up with your name changes haha

dizzy how are you today?

Keeping fx for those awaiting to test!

Waiting for ovulation here, CD9 today, previous months it's been between 12-14, but first month temping so hopefully it'll be properly confirmed this time!

Hi Ladies,
Well after getting sweary at my chart earlier this month because it looked like the rocky mountains again (I had higher hopes this time because I was foof-temping rather than mouth-temping) and I couldn't see any sign of OV anywhere near CD14... Over the last couple of days my temps have shot up like a bullet !

FF thinks I OVd on CD19, but I dunno if it looks more likely to have been CD18 - what does everyone think?

If my cycle is a normal length for me this month (29 days) then it looks as though my luteal phase is only 10 or 11 days long, which is just inside the normal range. I'm so glad I did the temping now and stuck with it. We have been carefully timing BD for the wrong time!!

Sorry I haven't been around much, I have been super busy and trying not to stress about TTC. Good luck for all those about to test and for those dealing with the witch.

banana I can't see your chart as I'm on my phone. But ff is usually pretty accurate.

maybe how exciting! A line is a line! Good luck for the morning (though if I were you I'd be tempted to hold it in for at least three hours...and then try again this afternoon with another IC. They say fmu is best, but I got my first bfp at night last time. How many dpo are you?

*banana do you lonitor your cm or snything else? A10 day lp is nearly normal but still very short. You could ask your GP to test you for progesterone to see if there is an issue?

Excuse my typos. I always MN on phone. And am dyslexic.

Thanks all

how do I make someones name in bold so they know i am talking to them?

T minus 4 days to poas test - I have no patience!
