All aboard the May Train!

So yet again, af has got me. Brown spotting this morning after a cycle where I was actually genuinely convinced I'd done it this time. Oh well.

Only on month 5 of actively trying. I'm ttc no2. I'm awaiting a referral for a hospital appointment to investigate scarring in my uterus so every month that goes by without a pregnancy, the more I can't deny that there's obviously something wrong (I've conceived twice, both just after a missed pill so 5 months is long in comparison!)

Just thought I'd say hi and hope THIS might be our month and we have a chance at a baby in 2018 instead :)

Thank you yep totally sucks, I am thinking if my last cycle (first off pill) was 45 days I probably ovulated about CD31 if at all so am probably in for a bit of a wait but you never know maybe it will get a wee bit shorter (she says hopefully!!)

Hard to know Peanut - it really does depend on the person, the stick, the phase of the moon etc. This cycle I got three days of flashing smileys before peak fertility. The time before that I got all flashing smileys and no peak and actually conceived that month! (Chem pregnancy tho). Good idea to dtd every other day until peak and then everyday. Hopefully the flashing smileys don't last too long or you will be exhausted ...

Juney I opkd Saturday and Friday and both looked like positives. Yesterday's was a definite negative no line at all and I'll do another one when I get in tonight 👍

Bloody bodies never do what you want them to do! Haha

I think my body hates me!! Another negative opk today. That ewcm has really thrown me an I don't know where I am in cycle, thought I was firmly in 2ww so why would I be getting ewcm now?!

Hey ladies!

trijo can I just say well done for running the London marathon! Go you!

I'm at cd17 today and my Ovia score is now at a 2.0! Woo! 😂 Today is the first day that I'm seeing an increase in cm so fx it all keeps up and i ov in the next week (pref from Thursday, when dh is home!)

Hope all are well and good luck to those in the dread d 2ww! X

Well done on the marathon! Must have been so tough.

I've no idea what's going on with my cycles. My CM appears to be dissapearing yet I've had no positive OPK! This month seems to be a dud. Surely if I'm due to O on Thursday I'd be showing a faint line on the test? Not even a hint of one!

maybe, I believe you can get ewcm after ovulation as for body expels the last of it.
I've also read it can be a symptom of early pregnancy. But basically everything can be a flipping symptom of early pregnancy

I'm with you on that I'mbreaking, this cycle feels like a dud! I think the stress at the beginning of my cycle with the blood tests has thrown mine into a spin! Nothing more I can do now except wait it out. Hopefully you'll get your positive opk tomorrow or wed 👍

Boatrace I really hope that's what it is!! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

Maybe - hopefully it is a good sign for you!

Breaking - I got no smiley face last cycle even though I had EWCM etc. I just presumed the surge was short and I missed it. Got my smiley face back this cycle so hopefully you just missed and are in the tww!

I've just another and I have a line . I think it'll be positive tomorrow or Wed! I'm so happy. Doesn't explain the demise of CM though. Maybe, how many dpo are you? X

Yay Breaking! Go for it 😜

That's great I'mbreaking, sounds like you are right on track! honestly can't tell you how many dpo I am now, could be 1,2 ,3 or 0! But I do know that af is due in 12 days!

breaking im due to ov on thursday too... my opks have the fainest poopest line ever... however i had tonnes of ewcm today. 🤔 so confusing.
Last cycle i had lines from cd10.. really faint though then on cd13 am they were just as faint then by cd13 11pm bam darker then the control.
maybe what were the bloods for? X

On Cd7 today and due to ovulate over the weekend. Noticed that Ovia posted an article today on my app about linking proper hydration and fertility. Just made me think that I probably don't drink anywhere near enough water throughout the day, running around after a 2.5 yo I just forget! Really making a conscious effort now to drink more as I didn't realise quite how much of an affect not drinking enough has!

Bluee my bloods were a full check of everything, hormones, thyroid etc, the results came back ok but I was left in a panic for 4 days because the receptionist said over the phone that the gp wanted to see me about my menopause levels, that was on the Thursday an I got to see a gp on the following Tuesday and had convinced myself I was in early menopause! It was a stressful few days

maybe oh no what a silly receptionist.. i bet it was. Glad everything come back fine! x
emz i didn't used to too.. gbusy chasing 14m old dd around (who loves to keep pulling my washing off the radiators and wearing my kickers as a necklace 😂) but I've really made a conscious effort to drink more water. I find it easier to drink boiled water while its still hot or warm for some reason lol x

Emz that is really interesting. I definitely don't drink enough!

bluee - my DD does the knicker thing too!!

Fingers crossed for us blue . I'm also on the boat for not drinking enough water. I also consume too much tea to even mention! I love water with a slice of lemon and lime though, just seems too much effort to faff with when I'm out the door for 7.30 each morning x

Can I join? I am ttc #2 since Feb. Brown spotting last night at 11dpo now AF arrived this morning at 12dpo so I'm deffo a BFN! X

Ugh, the two week wait begins for me now. Any tips on how to while away the time without getting too impatient?

@Joeybee I think eating so much chocolate that we must nap for 2 weeks should do it?
I'm 2dpo and itching for the week to hurry up!

Also in the not drinking enough water camp. I always feel sick if I drink loads

@sallywiththegoodhurr Haha, well I still have an Easter egg and massive block of chocolate, so I could well do that.

I also do not drink enough water, never do. I try so hard, but I feel nauseous when i drink the recommended amount. I am trying to drink more than usual though.
