MAY 2013 POSTS
Hi, All;

I am hoping to generate a thread of like-bodied ladies to endure the coming agony of the 2WW, obsessively symptom watch, and tally up who our BFP's and BFN's are going to be.

I am 39 and this is our first Investigative Cycle. We were both tested out the ying-yang (literally, sorry.) and both of us look good. The fertility clinic called me yesteday to tell me it was GO Time. I already knew, but they confirmed with a follicle scan.

Unfortunately for me, I had just come out of a draconian HSG and Saline Sono so I was pretty bruisy sore.

BUT I am a trooper and I wasn't gonna let that stop me! So, we BD'd last night and I was okay for the most part.

We are gonna BD tonight even though my temp has already started to rise, and cross our fingers and toes that we've got a sticky bean.

MAY TESTERS:
Twag - TTC#1, cycle 9 and looking good after a bd-a-thon!! she is back after a break. CONGRATS 5/19/13
Lola - Also her first cycle after a break CONGRATS 5/19/13

[Twag]

I am 2dpo today AF due 22nd - this is cycle 9 for us and with our bd-athon I am feeling hopeful (well for now anyway)

GL

 

[Lola_0106]

Hi,

I'm Lola, i was on here about a year ago but had to take a break due to change in job and house, but i'm back!

this is my cycle 1 and i'm due to test on 23rd good luck everyone!

x

 

[zestygirl]

Welcome Lola and Twag! Lola, I am same. This is my first cycle trying after a break, and first where DH really became cooperative... Baby dust !!!!

 

[wishuwerehere]

Hi there, AF is due on the 23rd and pretty sure I ovulated Tuesday or Wednesday, so I'm just waiting now. i'll probably start testing sooner than you though
This is my first cycle proper, stopped using protection last cycle but think we missed ovulation as waited till after our wedding. Not feeling especially hopeful that this is our month but we shall see!

 

[zestygirl]

Welcome Wywh congratulations on getting married! we semi tried last cycle but after getting follicle scans this cycle I can see we missed our window by at least a whole day.... Practice makes perfect. I am also an early tester (what else can I do???) so I will probably start testing around 10 dpo (if I can even wait that long)

We have one more day of BD scheduled just to be safe. Hoping for a feb 1 baby

 

[Twag]

This is our 1st cycle back after a 2 month ttc break too

FXd ladies this is the one

 

[zestygirl]

With four of us here, it is Already statistically likely that at least one of us is PG this very minute!! Ooooh!! But I agree with Twag that I will cross my fingers that every momma-to-be gets a BFP this month! I had a look at your chart, Twag. You've definitely, er, covered all your bases !! looking good!!

 

[wishuwerehere]

FX'd for everyone

Welcome, Lesley, my name is also Lesley! That must be a good sign!!! I am hoping for #3 before I turn 40.... If we conceive this cycle I would just make it!

 

[shortie58]

Yah here is hoping it is a good sign

 

[bubblebelly]

yay! awesome May thread!
I think I am roughly 1 dpo today - TTCing # 1
so testing around the same time as you guys!
I got my positive OPK on wednesday accompanied with EWCM and BD'd that same night..
good luck to all of you! I cant wait to hear some good news
xoxo

 

[zestygirl]

Hi Bubble Belly! You and I are cycle twins, then I also O'd yesterday. We were going to BD again tonight just in case, but I am so sore from everything yesterday, I hope to skip it. When I told DH I felt we had hit the perfect time anyways, he just responded with a big smile. Poor guys miss out on all this fun and just end up cheering from the sidelines... Lol... Best of luck for a bump this month! Do you temp? How long have you been trying?


Testers so far:
Zesty
twag
Lola
WishYWH

[Callie-xoxox]

Hey hun! yes seems like we are! that's cool! I usually have a 27-28 day cycle so am expecting AF on the Thursday (or Friday).. 23rd or 24th give or take!
It's Friday where I am so I *think* I ovulated yesterday (thursday)
I didnt get to BD last night - just on wednesday night when I got my LH surge during the day.. timing BD is pretty stressful for me as we dont do it very frequently...
I think as long as you really time it well then the one time should be okay - fingers crossed just that ONE SPERM makes it through!!
I kind of think it's good that the men are in the sidelines after doing their job! lol personally I think if they knew too much about our CM and CP and temperatures and how many dpo etc it would really take away some of the power of knowledge us women have hehehehhe
I havent temped in my past cycles but finally have bought a BBT that I might start to use next cycle if things dont work out now. I just try and listen to my body's signs and signals.. Essentially just using OPK cheapies and tracking EWCM..
we have been NTNP while we've been married (been together nearly 7 yrs, married for nearly 4) and i have been consciously TTC since sept/oct last year.. I think I was kinda hoping for an "accident" all these years and it just didnt really happen.. (apart from chemical pregnancies) I never took any BC, just withdrawal method.. but again I think I have not conceived yet due to the lack of enough BDing..

its so great to keep making new TTC buddies! wish we had previous cycles together to have passed the horrible TWWs!!!

best of luck to you!! xoxo

 

[bubblebelly]

Hey ladies! Ill be testing the 23rd

It's all so confusing. We are just seeing how it goes as laid back as we can hopefully it will happen soon if not I will chart and temp.

 

[wishuwerehere]

I'm new to it all as well, it's so confusing! I thought we would ntnp but I feel like if I did that I'd always be thinking 'what if I'd just done this...' And I'd never know and it would just annoy me. More of a control freak than I thought!

We were determined to give it our best shot
