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.

@RBSK1 sorry it was a negative, but as they say you aren’t out til AF x

TeddyBeans · 02/05/2022 08:48

Ooh @Catred4 looking good! Keep us posted 🤞

curliegirlie · 02/05/2022 09:04

Well, looks like AF has turned up super early on CD26, but at least that gives us another shot in May….

I feel a bit deflated as we gave it a really good shot this month (school holidays and annual leave meant more opportunities/less tiredness for action!), BUT on the other hand I never caught a positive OPK so not that surprising that this cycle has turned out a bit weird. On the positive side at least I can enjoy the wine flight at the posh restaurant we’ve got booked later this month!

Steph149 · 02/05/2022 09:32

@RBSK1 so sorry to hear that, you’re not out until af shows though!
I'm the same today, negative on frer. I’m going to try not to test until Thurs/Fri now

Ladies

Anyone else feeling SO tired and generally exhausted. I feel like my whole body aches and a bit of motion nausea too.

Also been having strange cramps in lower tummy, lower back is stiff and sore and just generally feel so run down. Almost like I have a hangover.

I know a lot of signs are pointing towards potentially being pregnant, but starting to loose the will TTC. Has anyone else started panicking thinking it's never going to happen? Or that there's something wrong with them?

Tested this morning with a one step and BFN. I think I'm about 7dpo.

Purple29 · 02/05/2022 12:30

@allthingssparkly can I ask what thermometer you use. I bought a cheap one and it's a bit all over the place. Said I was past 39 one day then 35 the next. So it's really confusing. Also what app do you chart on? 🤞 for you

allthingssparkly · 02/05/2022 13:05

Hello @Purple29 yes this is the one I bought from Amazon it was around the £16 mark, no issues with it it's super simple to use too!

I upload the readings onto the Pre Mom app 😊

Joining here for May currently on CD2 and still feeling down about Aprils BFN but hoping for some luck this month.
Downloaded the Flo app this morning to track my cycle. Going to try to be less ‘obsessive’ about conceiving this month but I doubt that will happen

Baby dust for all

RBSK1 · 02/05/2022 17:16

Well the cramps have started this afternoon, with AF due on Thursday I think it's safe to say it's not happened this month.

I must've had line eyes on my test yesterday.

Baby dust for all of you waiting to test xx

Yup, either positive or very very nearly. Go go go!

Hopefulprincess · 02/05/2022 20:30

Ahhhh dtd this morn and I don’t think able too again until Wednesday maybe 🙈 shouldn’t really be ttc this month now Iv got some health issues need addressing but Wel see

Hopefulprincess · 02/05/2022 20:32

Il read the whole thread in a bit see where everyone’s at and catch up on the girls from previous thread 💖 one child is battling sleep (hungry, broken eyelashes, why do we have a moon, what’s for dinner tomorrow…. One of them nights 😂)

Organictangerine · 02/05/2022 21:45

Checking in! I’m not sure if this will be my month - only started OPKs today (CD12), got a positive this morning but it wasn’t as blazing as normal, followed by an only-just positive this afternoon. So I think the surge is on the way out. Does anyone know what this means in terms of ovulation? We dtd this evening but I have a feeling we’ve missed it. Onwards and upwards! This morning’s pic attached

Cycle 1 trying for 2nd. First is nearly 7, didn't think I'd be doing this again 😂I want this time to be relaxed and calm, I was a mess with constant testing last time. We've agreed to just take it easy and not stress. Easier said than done. I think AF due maybe 11th May?

Hopefulprincess · 02/05/2022 23:03

@Organictangerine Youv dtd just in time! You will likely of ovulated today and the egg survives a day so just in time hopefully 🙏🏻

Hopefulprincess · 02/05/2022 23:05

Your mornings test is a good + so if you didn’t ovulate today I’d say tomorrow , Youv covered it here’s hoping 🤞

Catred4 · 03/05/2022 07:10

I'm really confused, did a FRER this morning and think it's negative, although potentially there is the faintest of lines but I can barely see anything. Sucks after seeing a line on an internet cheapie yesterday but still only 9dpo so fingers crossed!

12DPO here. AF due in four days.

I did a CB ultra early yesterday - “Not Pregnant.”

FRER this morning - this is what my previous indents have looked like. I’m not sure if there’s any colour - it’s so hard to see.

Decaffe · 03/05/2022 08:06

Now I have posted it, it doesn’t look like there’s any colour on the photo, does it?

allthingssparkly · 03/05/2022 08:22

I see it @Decaffe hard to tell from the photo whether it's an indent or actual line though 😬 x

Decaffe · 03/05/2022 08:31

It’s a shame there are no real competitors to FRER on the market!

I have also done an easy@home and that was BFN, although that was 10iu compared to the 6.5 FRER.

I will try again tomorrow morning but I have been down this road with FRER sooo many times Sad

Organictangerine · 03/05/2022 08:54

I see it @Decaffe without major squinting which would make me think line-line!

can you do a looong hold and try again later today/this evening? 😀

Cherrymarket · 03/05/2022 08:55

@Decaffe i am pretty sure that’s a line… 🍀

allthingssparkly · 03/05/2022 09:04

Someone needs to help a girl out, BBT still elevated and no sign of AF (due today) 🤷🤷

Clear blue yesterday late morning was neg.
