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 :)

pogmella I'm impressed by your patience. I'm going to try to hold out until 10 DPO, that's great willpower for me!

Got an almost positive OPK today, so thinking tomorrow or the day after might be O day. Weird how you learn so much about your cycle when TTC, to think all those years I was ovulating and didn't even know!

Sorry for the bad news carrot

Congratulations miis!

Fingers crossed for you parsnip

Good luck to everyone else still waiting...

Welcome 88 :)

Pulpi - My dh wears the tight boxers, I thought about asking him to change them, but they're cotton and I'm sure they don't make that much difference/

Banana - sorry the witch caused you to waste a test by being late :(

Zippy - 16dpo and no AF?!

Miis - Congrats again on the BFP, are you testing again tomorrow?

Brooke - that dip I temp wouldn't be enough to indicate AF for me, mine drops to about 36.4.

Night - I hate that CM/Sperm confusion!

Thank you for the luck Teenie, and to you too.

Trixie - glad your tests were all ok.

Carrot - So so sorry to hear your news, hoe you're ok lovely.

FLatwhite - sorry for the BFN

Wish - that could be a good sign??!!

Sus - yay for temping!

AFM - I have an appointment with the private consultant tomorrow...am nervous now, and wondering if I am rushing in to things? Xx

Thanks for the virtual love Dizzy, Wish and Sammy. It really helps to have people to talk to on here .

Fx there is some better news on the bus over the next 2 weeks! I'm sending all my positive thought to all those waiting to try/test .

I've just accepted that conceiving isn't easy for me. It took ages the first time and it's taking a while now. I just keep focusing on this. It will happen but some things take time.

Hope we have some more good news on here. Fx for everyone waiting to test and those in the tww.

yeah sammy .. i did another after saving my wee up all day while at work nd tested when i go bone and the line is actually a little darker already but ive just bought 4 more frer tests so ill deffo test tomorrow morning again x

my fingers are crossed for you dizzy .. i wish you all the luck in the world. ..

I've been directed here, I hope none of you bite!

Might I ask what some of the acronyms mean? I can only work out ttc! Bfp? Opk?

This is all new to me, 6 months in and no luck so far. I've about a week to go before knowing this month. Getting preemptive and taking a test on the first possible late period day (I know, I know but being irregular is my excuse!) just seems to make it happen the next day

Yay! You found us! We definitely don't bite.

BFP - big fat positive
OPK - ovulation prediction kit.

Any other questions, just shout...and best of luck in a week x

Thank you, and good luck to everybody else

Welcome bonkers

Welcome thisisbonkers I am new to this thread too. How old are you and are you trying for your first child, if you don't mind sharing?

Fingers crossed for you!

88blue I haven't tried OPKs but I think I'm about to ov from cm so its game time... Where did you get your OPKs from?

Miis I may regret asking but.... Where did you save it??!!

Hope June is a kinder month Dizzy x

Not at all, 88blueshoes. 32 (still, just!) and trying for our first.

Hi bonkers! Trying for my first too (29) Good luck!

Welcome bonkers. Good luck with your journey. Hope it's a short one.

Thanks miis and pog for your kind words.

Sammy good luck with your appointment tomorrow.

Carrot thinking of you

Yay congrats miis!!!!! I hope those lines keep getting stronger xx

dizzy I can't imagine how hard it is to ttc for as long as you have, but you know it's possible and will happen sooner or later. Sending positive thoughts and lots of luck your way.

We are already missing carrot on the Jan AN thread

haha pogmella i didn'tsave it anywhere i meant in my body ..i just didn't drink alot while at work so i never had to pee so my wee was concentrated when i got home

Need to have a catch up but congratulations miis and I'm so sorry to hear your news carrot thinking of you

Quick question, I used my thermometer for the first time today, woke up at 4:30 needed the loo so took temp, woke up at 6:30 took temp and woke up at 7:30 took temp. Each temp higher that the last, is that normal? Well I'm hoping to temp at 7:30 each day but what temp should I record for today? Tia x

Southy yes that's normal, your temp goes up the longer you sleep.

You should record the temp you took after your longest period of sleep, so the 4.30 one :) but you need to note that it was taken earlier than usual.

Miis that's brilliant news, congrats Here's to a sticky little bean !

PS if you frequently wake earlier than 7.30 I would change your temping time or your chart will look wonky . I take mine at 5.30 as I know I usually wake up at different times. So I just set my alarm for 5.30.

Thinking of you carrot.

Fx for everyone else testing soon

miis that makes a LOT more sense... Glad I clarified before doing something very odd at work :-)

Welcome bonkers :)

CD8 and a flashing smiley! Don't get home till 10 tonight but DH had been told to be ready
