Hoping for BFP in May

[Catred4]

CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

Thanks guys.

Af was due on the 14th, run an average 28-30 day cycle - some shorter. A week later I tested positive- bizarre.
I tested quite late with our first, I had become so demoralised with the monthly negatives so the same may have happened there too!
@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing our first took over a year, it’s so intense isn’t it. We eventually got our BFP on the month we did
no planning.

not to wish time away but I hope these cycles go quickly so you are not waiting around too long 💐

Good afternoon, hoping the conception board wagon again after a month off.

I’m 35, and have 2 DS, 7 and 4, and also had a ruptured ectopic almost two years ago from an unplanned pregnancy which resulted in losing my right tube.
I am now on cycle 7, although last cycle wasn’t trying as such as was trying to avoid an end of December baby.
I’m on CD2, my cycles are a bit all over, my Ov date changes every cycle almost, anywhere between CD11-15, averaging CD13. My LP is only 12 days aswell so cycle length was 24days this month but 28days the month before. Had a mirena coil for a year, came out in October, not sure if that’s caused the cycle messing around? Always used to be 26days on the nose.

trying to lose weight as BMi is around 36 at the moment 😬😬😬 so bloody hard!!!

@LemonZestDribbles I've had some EWCM last week for two days near CD9 and then had some yesterday and today too, with some cramping, no idea what's going on! Thought OPK's would help but they've made me more confused 😂

@lyra12 welcome!

@Cherrymarket you are on a lot already! Maybe ask GP, they may tell you that you already take enough 😂

My cycles are 65 days + :( it's soooo long I really hope I bloody catch this cycle I can't bare the waiting!

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing I always have a day of this before AF starts, but could also be implantation if not normal for you?

Hi all, can I join? We're trying for dc2 and on cycle 1, CD14. Don't think we dtd at the right totm 🙄but who knows, might get lucky! My ovulation symptoms are all over the place this month, seem to have ovulated later than usual/predicted by Flo app! Got awful cramps as well which is unusual for me but probably just overdid it at the weekend. We caught first time with dc1 but I've had thyroid issues in the last couple of years that might throw a spanner in the works 😢

@Mummyme87 I'm also trying to lose weight but stress levels are sending me to the chocolate. It's so hard isn't it 😫

@lyra12 welcome! Those cycles are ao long. Must feel like a marathon every time

@Harriet669 that is so confusing. So much for opks making everything clearer

@thebloodycatwontstopmeowing could it be stress?

@Kindofcrunchy welcome! I know @Cherrymarket and I are both on our first cycle of trying for dc#2. Maybe we'll get a bit of beginner's luck 😬😅🤞

Hi all, are there any other old timers on here? I am 4dpo and have come over from the april thread.

I’ve had some lower backache over the last couple of days, and I could swear some ovulation-like pain too which is very unusual at this stage.

I’ve attached my DTD chart. We probably should have done it the day after ovulation too but we didn’t get chance.

I had a HSG last month so it would be amazing if the much-vaunted “HSG bounce” happened to me!

My initial thought is stress or implantation? I know our bodies are miraculous but they’re also an absolute mystery!!

Hi all - hope you don’t mind me joining! I’m CD3 today after a really strange start to my period, that I thought was implantation bleeding, and a FRER indent!

Entering cycle 4, TTC #1. Have become more obsessed than I thought I would be but seeing how everyone supports each other on the threads I’ve read over the past few months has been lovely. Barely any of my friends have babies, so I’ve been finding it quite lonely, so it’s nice reading everyone’s messages. I am still new to TTC and find it all a bit mad that we don’t get taught any of this when we’re younger! They make it sound like a man just has to look at you and you’ll be pregnant!!

all best wishes to everyone in their 2WW now! I’ve got a while to wait…

Fun story from me, only realised at 5pm I left a cup of wee from my opk in the bathroom all day while the painters were here going in and out 🙃 #killmenow

Hello! Hope you don’t mind if I join! CD1 for me today! Been ttc for 16 months, really irregular cycles 45-100 usually, but this last cycle was 26 days! Fingers crossed for another short cycle! I’ve recently started some vitamins and a concoction of tablets so hopefully that’ll help and it wasn’t just a one off!! I’ve recently bought an ovusense too and had ovulation confirmed for last month but it did prove that my LP I thought was 11 days is actually only 9, as I ovulate 3 days after peak OPK instead of the 1 day I had estimated! Here’s hoping to a longer LP and shorter cycle, to give me any chance of a BFP!

you will laugh about this in years to come ☺️

They’ve arrived and they come in 3 separate tablets, folic, iron and omega so might be worth a look at Active Folic.

Hi @Mollyschambers13 welcome. I had the same thing with the FRER indent, it's so cruel isn't it. Yes the support on here is so good, especially if you don't have many friends with babies. It's also great when you finally get your bfp 😃

Hi all,
I’m quite new to this all and have a question.
When everyone is talking about how many DPO - what day do you count as ovulation in relation to the LH surge if using tests?
I tried the clear blue tests for the first time this month and had a flashing face from tues - fri am. I then got a static on Saturday am. So would I count Saturday or Sunday as my ovulation day?
We had sex Friday and Saturday plus a couple of times earlier in the week, hoping we have done enough. Maybe should have Sunday or today as well. (Dh asleep now so too late 😂)
Just wondering when I could possibly do a test.

@Hopeful2654 i would probably say Monday is 1dpo. Do you do BBT aswell? I’ve started that and it confirms ovulation day

Hello! Mind if I join? I've been TTC #1 since December, fell pregnant first time but sadly had a MC at 6 weeks. 3 unsuccessful cycles since then. Now 6dpo and feel like I'm experiencing every symptom possible and driving myself mad in the process!

Hi, I'm hoping over from the April thread. I've started doing BBT as my cycles have shortened to 24 days since I had an ectopic. Never done this before so hoping it will help. But I'm still just sticking with dtd the days my Dr said, but adjusted for 24 day cycle!!! Fingers crossed for loads of BFP's in May 🤞🤞🤞

We'll AF arrived for me today, meaning only a 16day cycle is becoming my normal cycle! Feeling very deflated!

Thanks @Catred4! I’ve read quite a few things about them recently, but because they’re the most sensitive it’s hard to find a replacement! Think I’m going to try and wait until my period date and then use one of the new clear blue digital ones that are 10u/mol sensitive. Famous last words 😂

Hopefully this thread has lots of BFPs - can’t wait to see them all 🥰

@Harriet669 sorry to hear that and that you’re feeling deflated. Always horrible when it shows early. Do you think anything like stress is contributing to it?
