MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[Twag]

Well guys, here you go! Bright and early BFP! It's light, but I'm only 11dpo! Last time I didn't get a +til 15dpo, so here's hoping this one sticks. SO EXCITED!!! Hoping the Doc can run HCG quantities this morning along with my scheduled Progesterone draw. Hope it shows up in the picture. It definitely shows up in real life!!
Have a good day everyone! I know I will even if I am a tad nauseous!

I can clearly see that BFP and I normally struggle to see them in pictures - Congrats H&H 9 months

 

[FrancoRie710]

Yep, I'm officially out, just started CD1. I'm going to stay on the thread though because my cycles are short and I can test again on May 29th. May might still be my month!

 

[Twag]

too right it can still be your month

I know this question has probably been posted on the website thousands of times... But here's another ttcer asking... Why do our bodies start playing tricks on us when we start ttc???

I don't recall my bbs aching like this EVER! Two cycles ago, and again now!

What are your thoughs, ladies? Is it that I'm more aware of my body or is it because my hormones are playing games??

Hi ladies. Well hearing all this good new has made me buy some online pregnancy dip tests. I managed to get a 25 pack for £4.00 so it will be a good 1 year supply even if I tested twice a month. Lol.....And if I was lucky to fall pregnant the 1st month then it is still half the price of a normal test. They are being sent 1st class so hopefully by saturday they should be here.

I will be 8 dpo and due on the 10th so might be cheeky and test a little early. xxxx

 

[River54]

Hey all! 9DPO for me today and I am literally chomping at the bit lol!!!! Why does this bit have to be two weeks? The 1WW sounds much more doable to me!!!!

I hear you, 1ww would be great!

Congrats to the bfp! I could easily see the line and didn't have to enlarge it!

afm, 6dpo, and temp has gone up just a tad. Seem to have a few cramps in my side, but I dunno if it is a sign or not. Going to probably test starting at 10dpo, each day til my actual test day

So the moment we ovulate, there is a "follicle" called the corpus luteum that starts growing. It excretes progesterone. Your egg is moving down your fallopian tube. The trick is, your body isn't going to know if you are or are not pregnant until the day you get your period. So it is going to continue to excrete progesterone in preparation for implantation. This is because it take 14 days (or however long your luteal phase is) to thicken your endometrial lining. So basically, your body thinks it IS pregnant. Or assumes so. Progesterone is the pregnancy hormone. Exact same. Now after luteal phase if there is no hcg, your body recognizes it isn't pregnant, and stops progesterone production. Within 24hrs, there is nothing to support the lining, so it sheds. It is the high progesterone, then huge drop that triggers a period

@Mies Updated. How have you been?

@melann13 Let me know when to update you with that beautiful BFP! Now or shall I wait?

@FrancoRie710 I'm going to save the hugs for here (instead of on the front page) and move you on the list! You definitely still have a chance for a May BFP!

@allforthegirl You definitely have a chance for a BFP this month too!

@newbie2013 I wonder about that too! I'm not sure if I became more aware of all the pains, twinges, and other strange things until ttc or if they are just happening more frequently. I do think we become hyper aware of everything, but I do think all of the different things we do while trying cause new things as well. Think about all the bding, the new things we try (supplements, foods, herbs, etc.), and everything we do. It's bound to cause some differences.

@OoOo Updated!

 

[Hopeful2014]

Just thought I'd give you guys an update - usually I have a 34 day cycle and ovulate on CD21. This cycle, I ovulated on CD14 and on CD18 and today I have had a little spotting which has stopped both times.
I have tested this morning although I am pretty sure it is too early, I only got an evap. Please can you decide for me when I should test? at the moment I think I am on the chart on the 14th or 15th?

I would assume you are 7 dpo if you did ovulate on CD 14. It takes 6-12 dpo for implantation. It depends on how long you want to wait. Some start testing early, but if you are afraid of false negatives you could wait until 11-14 dpo. 14 dpo would be May 9th.

If your usual is 34 cycle days and ovulation on CD 21, it would mean you have a 13 day lp. That would suggest May 8th would be next expected period.

Let me know which date you decide. Good luck!

How is everyone xx

 

[Ruskiegirl]

In pain and confused , My opks are getting lighter now but going to retest later and see if it was just too diluted

 

[Hopeful2014]

How is everyone xx

I'm 7 dpo and my temperature skyrocketed this morning. 97.71 F - 98.25 F I'm not sure if it really is that much higher though because it seems like kind of a jump. Is it crazy I want to sleep so I can see tomorrow's temp and it's only 1 pm here?

I'm having some twinges/pulling sensations from the middle of my back (between waist and hip) all the way around to front left side. Umm...the bottom of my bottom is kind of sore as well.

How are you today?

I never, never had any PMS like symptoms. This is my first round TTC and I am experiencing a plethora of that stuff. I would be very disappointed if it turned out to be 'nothing'!
