Can you put me down for May 23rd? DH and I took a month long break by force. He went out of town during my fertile week, so basically, we've had a month long break.

Hello! I will be testing May 5th. Can you please add me? Thanks!

Thought I wasn't gonna get to be bd today and start off this month's SMEP badly, but I totally fit it in and am strangely excited about it and apparently want to share it with the world, lol.

 

[ReadytoMum]

I'm also in for May! Put me down for the 7th please! I should be able to hold off on testing early the week before, as I'll be away at a conference and I'll be leaving the tests at home! lol

I'll be away at a conference in May too, but not till the following weekend on Mother's Day weekend. It would be amazing to get a BFP right before Mother's Day!!

 

[petesgirl20]

So glad to hear brieri1!!!! I understand wanting to tell the world, i believe it's because you have a good feeling about this month!!! :yay:

Thanks and good luck to all the May testers! Lots of baby dust for all. DH and I will be trying out OPK's and Pre-Seed this cycle. It's cycle #2 after coming off BCP.

Can you tell me how to count the cycles I am lost my cycle started the 5th and went off on the 8th. What cycle day am I on.

I will definately add you Mrstruth...and CD 1 is the first day of menstral FLOW, spotting doesn't count lol (make sure it's the correct date, I made the same mistake a I just realized i had been missing my ovulation the whole 5 months we have been ttc)

How funny! I just got my package of ics yesterday and I POAS twice already. I don't even know why I did because I don't get +opks until CD 17. Anyhow I had a 2nd line on both! So yes I do too.

 

[brieri1]

I'm forcing myself to wait until Thursday to start taking opks. I also get a faint line no matter when I test. I'm not sure which is worse, the 2ww, or waiting to ovulate.

 

[petesgirl20]

aghhh its so frustarting!!!! I just hope they actually turn positive when im ovulating ive heard lots of women get neg opks when they are ovulating...

 

[zadeebug]

I am still going to do clearblue digis when I get closer to my usual ov date. I haven't missed a smiley yet. Although I think I have a very short surge and have gotten all my +s with fmu. And in the afternoon its gone.

 

[petesgirl20]

Ahh opk's can be stressful, but this month I am determined to NOT miss my surge!!! I think that it has been my only delay in ttc, I keep missing OVULATION!!!

Last month was my first month using opk's, and I had a faint second line right from day 10 to to day 15, then on day 16 I got a second line that was definitely darker than the control! Tested the next day cd17 and it was back to faint, so I knew that my surge had been on day 16. I only tested once a day last month (5pm) but am thinking about maybe testing with fmu this month too, just to see what happens!

 

[Jaws]

I'll be testing May 11.

Good luck to all!!!

I use clearblue digis now, used to get really cross with trying to work out whether it was positive or not!! I can roughly tell from my body now when I am going to get a smiley, so I only end up using about 2 a month. Not so bad!

I ALWAYS get a second line on the OPK--I think that's normal. And mine become drastically darker over a couple of days, though my second lines are never completely as dark as the control. I think that's normal, especially for the ICs.
