Hoping for a BFP in May

[youngmummy3105]

I had light brown spotting last night and thought it may have been ovulation as i was 11dpo but nope. AF arrived early this morning! Hopefully May will be my the lucky month!

Fingers crossed for you for May! My AF is due 6th May so I am only at the start of the dreaded 2ww but I'm really hoping May is my month too! Best of luck

Can i join? I'm just starting my tww too - also due AF 6th May! Symptom spotting at every turn

I think I will start buying OPKs this month. I haven't used them but I think I might start to now. Has anyone used them? Do they work?
Best of luck to the both of you!!x

Hi Scruff glad to have another 2ww buddy! I am the same but trying not too as I keep getting my hopes up, it's impossible not to though!

youngmummy I have been using the clear blue digital sticks. I know they are expensive but it's a simple smiley face rather than trying to read lines (I haven't tried them but I think I'd drive myself mad trying to interpret them!)

I don't use them - we just try to dtd every 2 days and when I think I'm about to ov we try to dtd every day. Although we decided to start trying a bit late this month so we'll have to see what happens there! I think the opks work in a similar way to the cheapie pregnancy tests. Good luck Young!

And good luck Hans!

I think I might try and buy some cheapie ones and see how I get on with them and if not then buy the clear blue ones. When do I test? How soon after AF? Everyday or what? I've never done this before!!xx

With the clearblue ones you test from about cycle day 8, depending on your average cycle length. I have a 24 day cycle usually and I got my smiley face on CD12 this month. I test first thing which is recommended. Good luck!!

Does the pack have enough tests for a month?

Can I join too?

AF due 4th May but signs are promising so far :)

Hi all, can I join?

AF due (or hopefully not) on 4th.
I'm 6DPO.

Good luck all.

young you start testing around CD8 depending on average length then only use the test until you get a smiley face which shows that LH surge has been detected. So I used 5 this month and you can get them in boxes of 20 which are about £20(!).

Welcome owl and plodder - here's hoping May is full of bfp's for us all

Hi Owl and Plodder! I'm on CD 19 and have been having mild cramps and a bit of backache last night. I think I ov'd CD 15.

Ooh Owl what are your signs?

Welcome owl and plodder!

That's not too bad then Hans I thought that you used a whole box in a month but if it lasts 3-4 cycles that's not bad at all. Works out at a pound a test. I might have to go pick some up and get some boots points too! That's how I justify spending money I do it in boots to get my points😂 xx

Thank you!

I'm on cycle day 19 too but I think (can't be 100% sure) that I OV on day 13.

I don't think I have any signs as such. I have had low aching for the last 2 days but I don't know if that's any sign....

Only time will tell plodder let's hope it's a BFP for you!x

Hi all I'm due AF 7th May... Think I've almost certainly caught this month!

Let's hope so crazy what makes you so certain?x

Just looked on my boots Hans and it is 26.99 for ten of the dual hormone ones or 22.99 for the normal ones. 20 tests is 46.99 for dual and 39.99 for normal. Where did you buy them from so cheap? X

hello ladies, new to this, i am due AF 30th so keeping my fingers crossed that this is my month, and fingers crossed for all of you also

Advise needed, i bought some ebay cheapies 10miu and when i tested i could see a faint second line..... Now, i actually thought i might have been seeing things so i left it a few hours and tested again to make sure, when i tested again i showed my partner who could also see this 2nd line. Strangely enough two days later i did another test which was a BFN :( now i dont know what to believe. i have tested again over the past few days and all BFN.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

young sorry just looked again and I paid £19 for 10 sticks, not twenty . That is the price in Tesco. Its the pink ones I use, not the purple ones which are the more expensive dual hormone ones.

Hans: So would a box last one or two cycles? X

Hi All,

Can I join too please?

I'm 27 and in my first ever 2WW, AF due on 8th May.
Only a couple of days in and I wish I had a time machine!

I've just started AF and OVIA says fertile window starts in 17 days! Imo so think of the positive atleast you will know soon! But I agree that 2ww is the most tedious time!!x
