May Ovulaters

[Alilou151]

Hello ladies

Thought I'd start a thread for May ovulation so we can stick together!

I have my at the moment boooo! So I'm on CD3 with a 28 day cycle so I'm testing as early as CD8 this month as I missed ovulation last month which was my first month of trying so I'm on the ball this time!

Post your cycles here and we can keep each other updated, it's nice to chat to other ladies as my OH must be sick of hearing me banging on about it haha.

Good luck to everyone this month!!

Hi!

Ha, so weird you started this as I was just thinking it would be good to have a thread like this!

I am CD 8 although my cycles are around 36-38 days long so my ovulation should be anytime from 11th - 18th May. TTC our first baby since January. I was laid back for the first 2 months but now I am impatient and really hoping it will happen sooner rather than later for us!

I agree its nice to chat to other people about it and those in the same boat.

Good luck to all and FX catching the egg this month

Fingers crossed ladies. With 3 or 4 bfp's already, i think this is our month

Hi ladies

Hoping I'll ovulate this month.

Good luck everyone x

Loveandpeace - its sooo hard to not be impatient isn't it! I just want that BFP soon! I want to buy cute baby things lol.

Topsy - Sorry to hear about your MC, I had 3 before I had my 6yr old so that is a worry for me this time round too as I'm older now as well but FX this is your month again!

Nicknaknoo - Looks like we're on the same cycle and length of time TTC! Hope we end up bump buddies!!

Sk8erzeh - EWCM sounds very promising! Keep pee'ing on those sticks!!

Mariexo - Congrats on your BFP yesterday!!

My OH is staying at work on exercise (he's military) when I'm due to ovulate so I've said I'm popping down to sneak him away for 10mins (ok ok 2 mins hahaha) when the OPK is positive!

Thanks alilou , I'm hoping so it was mc #5 but all my others were before 6 weeks and before my little boy
Was born. Just have to think positive.

Congratulations Mariexo

Thanks hun. My FX for you xx

Congrats Marie .

Yes May seems like its got off to a good start for BFPS so hope we all follow suit!

I haven't really got the hang of OPKS and only ever 2 lol, so will try using the rest of what I have and connecting with my body more for ovulation signs. I 'thought' I ovulated last month on a certain day but then a couple of days later had a lot of EWCM so I reckon I miscalculated and really I ovulate later than estimated. But also going to step up the DTD and aim for it every other day lol.

I am going to try relaxing more this cycle too as I have been super stressed lately. Back to yoga tomorrow and going to maybe get a reflexology session.

Is anyone else going to try something new or do anything differently this cycle?

Fx alilou!
Never used opk before I'm using an app on my phone but think I ovulated later than predicted so I missed by a couple of days as was away without OH.
My little boy is 2 now and met his baby cousin this weekend and was an absolute dream with him. Totally ramped up the broodiness too seeing how good he was with him.
Can't say I'm looking forward to being pregnant again though...I've literally just lost 2 stone on slimming world and here I go again trying to put it all back on!

 

[Sunflower1]

I'm CD2...going through the usual depression over not being pregnant. This month will be the first time I am in my healthy BMI range after losing 8.5 stone, so am hopeful that may make a difference! Fingers crossed for all of us!

Huge congrats Mariexo!

Oh try and not get depressed the stress won't help you I know it's hard to chill out though.

I'm borderline on my bmi and I'm on slimming world, put 2 stone on since I got married last year! I'm not going mad dieting though if I get pregnant I intend to eat healthy and cut out the junk!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting off the diet in a couple of months cos I'm a bit worried that that could also be affecting my chances. Good luck with the weight loss!

 

[Niknaknoo]

That's a great loss sunflower! Well done!
I don't think the diet will have a negative effect on ttc, if anything it will help!

 

[Topsy]

What is everyone else trying this month? Soon as af arrives I'm going to have a glass of grapefruit juice every morning as it is supposed to help with ewcm which is something I don't really get I'm also going to temp again so I can get a track on my cycles.

I never knew that about Grapefruit juice but actually I have started the James Duncan diet this week and it involves a heck of a lot of Grapefruit so yeay!
Until ovulation I am taking a quarter of an aspirin tablet, its supposed to help blood flow to the uterus, making it better for implantation.

I have lots of food high in vitamin C to help EWCM, like cauliflower, aubergines, and kidneys!
