Hi everyone 👋

Can't see a May bus, so thought I'd start one up!

A little bit about me...

TTC: #1
Age: 28
Cycle: 5
CD: 5
AF/BFP due: 10th May

This cycle I'm making a real effort to take my pre-conception vitamins EVERY day and going to use Pre-seed this cycle too.

Come on in and share your stories, symptoms and if needed, vent to your heart's content... Grin

@Paddypaws91 so sorry you’re out this month but here’s to next month being your month Wine

Savvysaz · 10/05/2019 13:48

@paddypaws91 I’m sorry you got a bfn, its so disappointing, I know.

Right ladies I got my first solid smiley on Wednesday morning . We DTD on Monday, twice Wednesday night (not because I thought it would help, DH just wanted to 😂) and again last night. I’m sexed out now so definitely need a break tonight. AF due according to Flo on 19th but I think that’s wrong given I’ve just ovulated and it’s usually 2 weeks post ov I get AF.

🤞 for everyone still waiting for their bfp. I’m trying to relax about it all but man that is tough!!

Peachyx2505 · 10/05/2019 14:10

Ahhh sorry af came @Paddypaws91 xx

@Savvysaz that made me chuckle... all sexed our 😂

My temp rose today so keeping everything crossed it carries on going up xx

mylittlebunny · 10/05/2019 16:30

Literally through the door from holidays. Husband couldn't stop me running upstairs to do a test.

Delighted.

MrsC89 · 10/05/2019 16:33

@mylittlebunny that's an amazingly strong bfp!!!

Louise190 · 10/05/2019 16:35

@mylittlebunny congratulations!!! I am on my way home from my holidays right now so send me some of your luck please!! I've had cramping and indigestion the past few days 🤞🏻🤞🏻🙈 I'm about 9/10DPO but REALLY want to test as soon as I get home!

mylittlebunny · 10/05/2019 17:07

Good luck to all who still need to test.

Sorry for the BPN.

Yes it's very clear. I'm going to buy a clear blue digital tomorrow just so I can see the actual words.

I'm 11dpo.

Novella12 · 10/05/2019 17:26

@paddypaws91 so sorry to hear AF got you 🙁

@mylittlebunny I bet that cleared the post holiday blues! Congratulations!

Nothing new to report here. I’m 5DPO and adding meaning to every twinge. Of which, of course, there are many. Anyone else think how bizarre it is that before trying to conceive we never felt any twinges at all, now they’re constant in every TWW 😂

Peachyx2505 · 10/05/2019 18:03

Congratulations @mylittlebunny 💕

@Novella12 I'm with you on the twinges 😂😂😂 although I am trying to tell myself I've felt them every month 🙄

🤞🤞

Novella12 · 10/05/2019 18:24

@peachyx2505 I never felt them at all before Ttc 😂 but ever since then I’ve noticed them constantly. I keep analysing each one, is that little twinge different to last month’s little twinge??! It’s enough to drive you insane!

mommato3 · 10/05/2019 18:43

Looks like the stupid witch has me again. I'm done. I'm beat. I'm exhausted. I can't do this anymore. Time to accept my baby days are done

Renault5 · 10/05/2019 19:09

@paddypaws sorry you got your af !! I still don’t have my period but I got negative test so I guess af would be with me soon haha

Congrats on the BFP!

I feel like I am not gonna be calculating and go with the flow as I am exhausted and need to not think about it for a while. I am loosing myself in this whole ttc ...

Squiff70 · 10/05/2019 19:14

@mylittlebunny Massive congratulations! Flowers

@Louise190 Good luck when you test!!

@mommato3 how many cycles have you had? You do sound exhausted Flowers

mylittlebunny · 10/05/2019 19:34

I have some OPK tests left so out of interest I will do one next time I go to the bathroom for interest.

Just to see if they do pick up pregnancy

McHelenz · 10/05/2019 19:55

@mylittlebunny I took an OPK yesterday because I had no tests and I was anxious. They picked up my pregnancy x

mylittlebunny · 10/05/2019 20:16

That's my OPK result here.

mommato3 · 10/05/2019 20:35

@Squiff70 it's only my 3rd since the mc. I know it was a long time ago but after my first mc I caught on 6 weeks later. I was so obsessed in the 5 months between having the coil out in July last year and getting the bfp in December. I just can't get like that again...

Squiff70 · 10/05/2019 20:50

@mommato3 I do know exactly what you mean having lost twins at 19 weeks in January this year. I think I had a chemical in March too. If another baby is what you really want, don't give up. Three cycles isn't many even though it's mentally exhausting. Maybe you could take a break from TTC for a while until you feel stronger?

mommato3 · 10/05/2019 21:31

@Squiff70 I think that's probably what I'll do as I obsessed over it from having the coil out until November. Took the don't give a shit approach in December and it happened. Maybe it'll happen again who knows. There again maybe it won't. No one knows. Only time will tell. I just know I have to stop letting it rule and destroy me every single month... Hope you get your bfp soon hun x

mrssunshinexxx · 11/05/2019 07:31

Does any one use more than one app to track fertile week? I use Flo and ovia and put the same period dates in but my fertile dates are different ?

Louise190 · 11/05/2019 08:53

@mrssunshinexxx I've got OVIA, Flo and P Tracker and they all say different. I've decided to get some OPKs as back up as I hate the uncertainty!

Sleepyhead11 · 11/05/2019 09:38

Congrats @mylittlebunny - it's lovely to see all the bfps on here, and sorry to all who aren't getting them.

I am 99% sure I'm out for this month too. Period due Monday and feeling very premenstrual. It's tough, because I stupidly pinned my hopes on Cycle#3 being the one, as so many folk I know have conceived after three, though I know it takes a lot of folk much longer.

Might see some of you on the June bus, though going to try to not check so obsessively next month - so might jump on in June instead of May, if that makes sense?

Xx

Teaonthebedsheets · 11/05/2019 10:06

Congrats mylittlebunny. How lovely straight after your holiday!

My period is due today and I'm not feeling hopeful for this month. I haven't tested yet and I'm not going to unless my period hasn't arrived by Wednesday morning. Trying to avoid being too obsessive as I find the misplaced hope crushing each month Sad

Good luck to everyone still waiting

MeganMama28 · 11/05/2019 10:37

@Paddypaws91 sorry AF arrived. Sounds like you've got a great POA for June!

@mylittlebunny congratulations on your BFP what a lovely end to your holiday!!

I've completely confused myself with ovulation and the cb OPKS! Does a solid smiley mean you're going to ovulate that day or the next?? Flo seems to log a positive cheapo OPKS (that I also do I don't know if I'm going overboard doing both types??) as ovulating the next day? Been DTD every other day so hoping we've caught it at the right time!

Hoping I can test on 11dpo so I'll know whether I can drink on my birthday (12dpo!)

Here goes another TWW obsessing over every twinge and CM 😂

Good luck to everyone waiting to test!

mrssunshinexxx · 11/05/2019 11:07

@Louise190 thanks for the response
It's annoying isnt it I don't really want to go down that route til we have been trying for 6m or so want to try and be relaxed ish x
