All aboard the May Train!

[Bubblegum89]

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 :)

Jumping aboard if I may. I found these threads enormously helpful when ttc last time around, but worried they made me a tad too ttc obsessed so have so far avoided them this time around! It turns out though that I am more than capable of being a ttc obsessive on my own without resorting to MN! Currently on cycle 6 and starting to despair that it might never happen, so I feel I could really do with the support.

Stats are as follows:

Age: 35
TTC #2 (DS is 16 months)
CD 6
AF due 7 May(ish)

Blue - If you're serious about temping then I can't recommend a book called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler enough. It has loads of charts and some fabulous troubleshooting chapters.

Hugs to all of you going through tough times at the moment, including Sunshine and Bagel, and anyone who has suffered a MC.

Bagel - You mentioned that you'd suffered an ectopic. Did you have one of your fallopian tubes removed? I ask, because (in my case at least) I think it's had a huge impact on my fertility. When ttc DS I got pregnant cycle 2 (a CP), cycle 3 after that (an ectopic), cycle 5 after that (DS), and I'm now on cycle 6 of ttc DC2 and haven't even had a whiff of pregnancy so far this time round.

mrshandles - in a similar position to you with irregular cycles. DTD three times a week worked with DD. Working less well this time but think other factors are the problem!

Thanks boat and bluee also sorry to you for AF. My own AF finished today so best get cracking!

Joining in but expect an early exit as AF due 1st may. I generally have 34 day cycles but has been as few as 31 and as many as 39. Have done cb opks this month and got my smiley face today. So assuming I ovulate tomorrow or Monday that's 35/36 day cycle. The instructions tell me I'm most fertile today and tomorrow. We've DTD this afternoon. Plan on dtd tomorrow evening and Monday evening too. Not sure if we should also squeeze in another try tonight or whether we should give the swimmers a chance to develop. I'm getting over excited I think.

Stats are:
TTC#2
Age:34
AF due 1/5
Cycle#7

Too late to catch the May train? 😳

23
TTC number 1
CD 2 (AF is being mean - ouch)
Cycle 3

I am so new to all this, been reading forums for ages but only joined today! Decided I needed to join to get clued up. Still not sure when the best time for me to conceive is (very irregular periods for as long as I can remember). Fingers crossed for us all!!

Welcome ladies and happy Easter to those who celebrate it! Who is having Chocolate for breakfast?
MEEEEEEE!!!

Happy Easter all . Easter was originally a fertility festival apparently, so fingers crossed it brings us all some luck!

cookie we had the bunny crumpets from Asda for brekkie! Having some chocolate now though!

Period has arrived today! Hurrah! Have text the donor to say possibly 28th and 30th for donations!

So DH arrived home today and my smiley face/opk also arrived! It managed to stay away long enough. Yay!!

Yay look get at it!

Yay Juney! It's not often we celebrate AF round here

'Eggscellent' news Juney! Will make your holiday all the more enjoyable.

It'll be lovely if we do make a "honeymoon" baby haha

Perfect timing look
Aw a honeymoon baby is so romantic where are you off to?

cookie we're going to Fuerteventura to an adult-only hotel! I cannot wait!

Have any of you got holidays booked?

Aw that was me and DH first ever holiday destination together some lovely memories you will have a blast!
No we are just doing a few staycation trips this year to see family and friends but past few days have been craving a proper sunny holiday, this is our first year not going abroad ever as we want to do a few things to the house but am secretly hoping for a lottery win to book somewhere amazing (total unrealistic daydreamer here I admit it) or else might try and do some overtime and book something last minute in the summer (more realistic) I love the canaries!

The weather has been a bit crap this weekend hasn't it? It threatens to get sunny then decides to bucket it down instead! I can't wait to feel the warmth on my skin! I'm hoping being on holiday will distract me from the 2ww as well!

Same cookie, we also came back from honeymoon pg so hopefully the same happens for you guys Juney! All that sun and relaxation make perfect conditions for the 2ww

Hello there! Can I hop on the train...? Was on the April bus but AF just got me again...

Ttc #2
Cycle 4
Cd1

I've transferred from the April bus to the May train to continue my TTC journey.

Hello to any newbies and nice to see you again ladies from the April Bus. Fingers crossed May will be our month!

Age- 27
TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD- think AF will start properly later today (2days pre AF spotting complete) so CD 1

DH announces that he's tired and hungry. Tough s* mister. Last fertile day today (+ve opk yesterday). I've shoved a sandwich his way and currently eyeballing him to eat quickly. All month he's on at me to DTD and tonight he chooses to be tired!

Evening ladies

Happy Easter to those that celebrate🎉

Not much to update here as only cd9 lol so well over a week for anything to start happening! We are all just waiting around at the moment aren't we but soon enough this thread will be full of opks, symptoms spotting, agonising tww and then hopefully lots of Bfps! 😄 X

Waves excitedly at all the new passengers.

TLH - if you're not sure when you ovulate, I would definitely recommend giving OPKs a go. They vary widely from super cheap strips to ones you use with Clearblue monitors and cost a small fortune (and everything in between), but they basically all do the same job, which is to help you predict the most fertile part of your cycle.

Loving the positivity on this thread, and particularly the factoid about Easter being a fertility festival. I found out that I was pregnant with DC1 on Easter Sunday 2 years ago!

Hi. I'm new to this site, but thought I'd just drop a little message.
It's nice to see other people all in the same situation. (Well not nice, but you know what I mean)
I haven't really told anyone that we are TTC because I don't want to disappoint anyone if it doesn't happen quickly.
In on Day 12 now of cycle 8 TTC.
Ovulated day 10-11 (I think) only managed to BD on days 7 and 11 so not holding out much hope this month!
And the TTW begins!
Good luck everyone xxx
