MAY testers???

[BelleNuit]

Both sounds like the safe bet. I've got about 9 more tests, so hopefully that will get me through this cycle.

I think you should be set! I love OPKs, they're the only time I can poas and get a positive result, lol

 

[Mcrobinson]

You can put me down for May 1. This is the first month actively trying to conceive. We haven't been preventing for a year but my daughter is still breastfeeding so my cycle hasn't returned. I started taking opks 2 weeks ago and got a bright positive this morning. We dtd 2 days ago and this evening and plan to either tomorrow night or the next. Hopefully we catch it! I'm cramping quite a bit so hopefully that's a good sign... Good luck ladies!!!

yes! I get so excited every time I get a positive!!!

I think I o'd early on cd12, I put in a temp for tomorrow on FF and it put CHs in on cd12. Bit annoyed as I wanted to bd the day before ov. Oh well, it's dashed my hopes already but at least I know for other cycles that this might happen. On the plus side this cycle should be a day shorter!

 

[slammerkin]

CD11 here and hoping to see some fertile CM starting today - it's usually here by now. Definitely BD tonight as it's been a while and DH is getting antsy, lol.

If I can remember I'll do OPKs this cycle. I've only tried them one cycle, but not the last one because I was avoiding preg last month.

I O'd on cycle day 12 the last couple months. I think it might be CD13 this cycle though!

CD12 always seems so early to me, but it really isn't that far from the norm!

Enjoy your fertile week! It's always my favorite because I feel like I can do something other than wait... And symptom spot Lol

Hehe...I enjoy it until I'm sick of BD and then I'm happy to finally take a break once TWW hits.

I'd like to join please!

I'll be testing around May 14th. My cycle's are a little wonky coming off the mini pill, but I'm thinking that's when my next af should be due.

Maybe some of you could help me answer this, I had AF March 21st, stopped b/c, started spotting April 16, spotting has turned into very light bleed off and on, but still mostly spotting - should I consider this my period for this month? It started about when I was due for one

 

[AliJo]

I've never used OPKs and probably won't for at least my first two cycles.

Miranda - It's possible and I would personally count it as mine. Maybe it was lighter due to your body regulating and maybe after this cycle it will be more normal. It's hard to say. I came off the pill not the mini pill so I don't have much experience. I'll be testing the 14th as well! Best of luck!

 

[BelleNuit]

I probably won't use OPKs again because they are so regularly positive on CD 10-11 that it doesn't make sense to spend money to confirm what I already know! I found them useful to start with though!

 

[greenarcher]

Miranda - I'd consider that your AF and count from there, too.

Slammerkin - get to it, missy!

Mcrobinson - timing sounds great! FX for you!

Belle - LOL @ POAS pos!

Uni - good to hear everything is lining up right! 1DPO!

AFM - I had a really shitty night yesterday and couldn't bring myself to BD. I went to sleep at like 7 just so I could end the day. Back to work today, a little better. Negative OPK again today, and it's lighter than it was yesterday. Pic attached. Think it's a fluke? Does it ever get lighter before it gets darker? I would think it would continually get darker until pos, then lighten. Anyone experience otherwise?

 

[mrs unicorn]

Yes, I did this time green archer. Could be because I starte them at cd9, earlier than normal. It was fairly dark but not + then it went lighter until cd12 which was +. Never had that before but I posted about it and it had happened to quite a few people.

 

[greenarcher]

Thanks for the info! Good to know. Do you think I should go back to testing once a day? I've got 8 tests left

 

[mrs unicorn]

Yeah maybe you could test once a day until you start to see something a bit darker, then if you have enough, test a couple of times just to be sure? Chances are you wont miss it testing once a day but I think they say you should test at the same time everyday to compare properly. I know you can't always do that so that's why I suggested twice a day.

 

[brookstar]

This is my first post here. TTC month 5 and I'll be testing on May 7th (if I can be patient and wait that long!!!).

 

[greenarcher]

I just ordered some more strips. Gonna try Wondfo this time. Been using clinical guard.

 

[BelleNuit]

I'd just test once a day green archer! I usually start testing when I see some other fertile signs, like cervix opening or ewcm

Welcome Brookstar! It's also my 5 cycle. Hopefully we'll both get our bfps this month!

 

[Thorpedo11]

I finally got my +OPK after 2 1/2 days of flashing smiles. And finally got to dtd this morning. We plan on doing it again this afternoon during my DD nap time. Then hopefully again in the morning before my DH has work. That will at least give us 3 times of dtd. This month hasn't gone as planned but we are trying to make up for it.

How's everyone else doing ??

 

[Livvy]

I'm just waiting around... having random pangs and twinges but nothing that feels like O pain. Had my last bloods drawn today to make sure my hcg from my mc goes all the way down.

Greenarcher! Holy cw woman. Last night at 7 o'clock I hated the world and literally told my husband that I was going to sleep because I was done with it. And then I cried. And went to bed. LOL! I'm never this emotional. So weird that you went through the same thing.
