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

Hi all, I checked out off the May bus when AF came on the 3rd but looks like I am ovulating slightly earlier this month so tentatively putting on foot back on as AF due 30th May now!

Peak solid smiley on my ClearBlue this morning which has put OV as tomorrow, just one day earlier than predicted. DTD for the past two days and will get on it tonight and tomorrow and then I guess it's onto the 2WW 

mrscatmad31 · 15/05/2019 07:43

@Louise190 AF? Due in 3 days, with my DD I was a week late before I had a BFP!

Louise190 · 15/05/2019 07:50

@mrscatmad31 realise I wasn't very clear then 😂 fingers crossed that line gets stronger for you!!

mrscatmad31 · 15/05/2019 07:54

Thanks guys :-)

Lovely news to read in a morning. Congratulations!! Grin

Peachyx2505 · 15/05/2019 08:52

Eeeeek fab news ladies 💕💕 congratulations. Got a feeling this will be a lucky thread xx

MaryH90 · 15/05/2019 18:20

Congratulations on all of the BFPs!

I’m starting to feel very tentatively optimistic. I’ve developed sore boobs and some minor cramping today. Trying not to read too much into it but looking forward to testing on Saturday!

mrscatmad31 · 15/05/2019 18:45

Ooo fingers crossed @MaryH90! Sounds promising
I had three tests that had faint lines this morning so I told hubby when he got back from work, he's happy although I've told him it's early still, don't really believe it yet!

Novella12 · 15/05/2019 18:53

@mrscatmad31 I’m so happy for you, congratulations! Are you 11dpo now?

mrscatmad31 · 15/05/2019 19:23

@Novella12 yes I'm about that, how are you doing?

Novella12 · 15/05/2019 19:40

@mrscatmad31 I’m doing ok thanks! Feeling lots of things which I’m trying not to turn into symptoms 😂. Planning to test maybe on Friday now. How are you feeling?

mrscatmad31 · 15/05/2019 19:52

@Novella12 physically I just feel the same, no symptoms at all, it just feels unreal! DH has banned me from attacking the shower with bleach tomorrow, he's going to do it now bless him. Feeling very lucky and happy! Hope you get your BFP this week too

Savvysaz · 15/05/2019 19:59

I have zero symptoms. Nada. Last month I had them all but BFN.

Louise190 · 15/05/2019 20:06

@Savvysaz ooh maybe it's some sort of weird trick and you get a BFP this time 🤞🏻 when is AF due?

Savvysaz · 15/05/2019 20:17

@louise190 that would be fab! I was so convinced last month then AF came early and was horrifically painful. Never had a period like it. Cramping was so painful I was sweating and having to breathe deeply through them 😬 this month I think AF due around the 21st but with it coming early last month and me oving late this cycle I literally have no clue 😂

Louise190 · 15/05/2019 20:22

@Savvysaz the female body baffles me! What was that period all about!? Do you use any apps to track?
I've always been regular, to the day. As soon as I start TTC AF came a day or two late!

Savvysaz · 15/05/2019 20:26

@louise190 it’s totally bizarre! I use Flo mostly but use OPKs so I know when I’m ovulating. Flo had me oving on the 5th of May but OPK was 9th May. I bought an Ava bracelet too but I haven’t completed a full cycle with it yet so the data isn’t as reliable!

Louise190 · 15/05/2019 20:47

@Savvysaz oh how does the Ava bracelet work? I've got some IC OPKs, preseed and bbt thermometer to start this cycle with. Previously just been using apps and crossing our fingers. Got the DP on fertility vitamins as well!

Savvysaz · 15/05/2019 20:51

@louise190 😂 I haven’t managed DH on those yet. Did try preseed but he struggled to finish with it. Ava does your temps and pulse etc while you sleep. My basic understanding is that it uses parameters to predict ovulation rather than using OPKs. Some people rave about falling pregnant with them and others slate it. I just needed something to feel like it took the stress away which compared to last month it has!

Louise190 · 15/05/2019 21:14

@Savvysaz 😂 luckily DP is pretty good, he goes with the flow! Oh that is interesting about preseed, not really the idea!! I have only got the tube, not the individual applicators, as a replacement as I read that saliva can kill sperm! Think I'm going to have a look in to this bracelet!

Squiff70 · 15/05/2019 22:28

Evening all! Is anyone doing a HPT tomorrow or Friday? I don't have any symptoms so assuming not but hoping against all hope...

Peachyx2505 · 15/05/2019 22:57

@Squiff70 I will Friday if AF doesn't show. Pretty sure she will tho as also nada here!

Hi, new here but joining for the TWW

mrscatmad31 · 16/05/2019 07:48

Morning! Still just getting faint lines here, was hoping it would be darker today!

mrssunshinexxx · 16/05/2019 08:03

Does anyone else find pain/twinges in fertile week the same as period pains ?
