Hoping for BFP in May

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.

@LemonZestDribbles I’m good thank you, I hope you’ve had a good day and looking forward to the weekend?

I’ve only used opks for one cycle. Mine got darker over 2 days, then very dark when I got my peak, but before that , they were very light & there didn’t seem to be much colour progression at all.
I might try using them again this next cycle.
How do you find them?

Hopeful2654 · 29/04/2022 23:06

So this waiting thing is hard! Although been trying for a while this is the first time I’ve used the ovulation sticks. It’s been a week since my peak so probably only 5 dpo… way to early to test right?

Sassy144 · 30/04/2022 06:22

@Hopeful2654 definitely too early to test! It's so hard isn't it 🙈

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 07:56

I caved and tested at 11dpo but bfn ☹️

@HansBanans I'm sorry 😞 bfn are so disappointing xxx

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 08:43

@Sassy144 they are! I knew it would probably be bfn as we are only on our first cycle but the disappointment really caught me off guard xxx

Sassy144 · 30/04/2022 12:04

@HansBanans it's still early!

LemonZestDribbles · 30/04/2022 12:33

@allthingssparkly thank you! That helps so much on the opks. Any symptoms? You still feeling crampy?

@garlicandsapphires nearly a year of ttc is very hard ❤ hopefully this is your month

@MangoLipstick I loved them when ttc before. Think I'll like them better month now I know that mine don't get darker and just go for peak. Looking forward to next week for a break from peeing on things 🤣

@Hopeful2654 definitely too early! It's hard but hold out

@HansBanans you're still in with a chance! When is af due?

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 12:42

@LemonZestDribbles I'm not entirely sure. My cycles have ranged from 30-35 days but have been 30 days for the past few months meaning I'd be due on 4 May. But I'm pretty sure that I ovulated earlier than planned (last Tuesday) due to a really sore left ovary and then days of sore boobs afterwards...

I could very well be testing too early but I've just got no clue anymore 🙈 we had done it near enough every day up to and including last Tuesday when I had those symptoms, so if I ovulated after that day then we've probably missed our window for this month anyway. I'm far too impatient I know 😅

Does anyone else find themselves looking on the internet at baby clothes or lists for packing a hospital bag? All things pregnancy related.
I really want my BFP Flowers

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 13:40

@April01stbaby yes! I've got a whole Amazon wish list dedicated to it and I haven't had my BFP yet

April01stbaby · 30/04/2022 13:42

@HansBanans glad it's not just me. Everyday I'm dreaming of what I would buy. Sounds a bit silly but I've wanted this for a long time.

I’m so sorry 😞

allthingssparkly · 30/04/2022 17:54

Hello

Very new to this, but find these threads very helpful.

Would really appreciate a fresh set of eyes on this.

4th proper month of TTC and this month I've felt a bit funny and had some really minor spotting which I thought may have been ovulation bleeding..

Did a test today, if OPKs are accurate I'm 6/7 dpo. Dunno why I tested so early, but got this...

Is it evap or faint positive?

Would really appreciate your opinions.

@JRoseC I would say that's an evap from my experience, those ones are awful for it 😩😩

I can see a faint line but I am not sure if it is an evap one, it might be worth getting a FRER or a clear blue! Good luck!

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 21:26

Thanks @Izzyboo1234, I hope all is well with you x

Does anyone have experience or the clear and easy early tests you can get in Poundland/Home Bargains? Clear Blue are just so expensive!

allthingssparkly · 30/04/2022 21:32

Feeling all the emotions tonight, so close to AF arriving (3rd May) but I'm torn between testing this weekend or waiting till the 3rd 😬😬😬

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 21:40

@allthingssparkly do you have an early test? Tomorrow is only 2 days before AF. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

allthingssparkly · 30/04/2022 21:45

I haven't got any tests in @HansBanans however I can nip out and grab one this weekend, didn't want to have them in earlier as I would of tested 🙈🙈 because I've none at home the temptation isn't there 🥰

HansBanans · 30/04/2022 21:53

@allthingssparkly that makes sense! Well I'll have everything crossed for you 😊

allthingssparkly · 30/04/2022 21:55

Thanks so much @HansBanans 🥰

Sassy144 · 01/05/2022 05:21

I woke up at 4.30 and couldn't wait any longer...ahhhhh!

Hoping for BFP in May
HansBanans · 01/05/2022 05:27

@Sassy144 congratulations!
