Wannabe May Mommies WMM
Hi ladies, I was in the Wannabe March Moms thread and I think there were 4 or so lucky ladies who got their BFP but alot more of us who got BFN. So here's hoping for August or September BFPs which will bring us May babies!
A little about me: I'm 35, from Australia, TTC first baby since mc in March. Just bought a fertility monitor so hoping it's worth the $ because I hate OPKs, haven't started charting yet but will consider it soon.
Join this thread if you WMM too!!!

@christasky took a look at the pic and it looks pretty positive to me. But hey, Im no expert. But when in doubt " BANG IT OUT".
@kgrady87 This exact thing happened to me this week. I got a positive on opk but I had absolutely no CM or EWCM. I have been completely dry! I'm using pressed for the first time this month so, that it did the job this month.
@Beth18 Thanks! hoping you receive your this month.
@Leah WOW!!! 6 weeks and 2 days is amazing. Boi time fly! I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for keeping me updated. I'm so excited for you.

@christasky i don't want to get your hopes up so I kind of hesitate to bring this up BUT
when I got pregnant in Nov I was using opks thinking "Damn when am I ever going to O this cycle?!" and then one day I got a smiley face, but I *still* didn't think it was right that I would O so much later than normal... so I took an hpt the same day... guess what? BFP! Turns out I had started testing for O too late and completely missed it!
Why it works: an opk detects LH, which is apparently extremely similar in composition to HCG, so it can also detect a pregnancy. However a pregnancy test will ONLY detect the pregnancy hormone.
@kgrady: I don't always get EWCM at the time I O, but I temp and so I saw the shift along with the positive OPK. This month on the other hand, I got the positive opk and the ewcm but not a super clear temp shift. It's very rare for everything to align as nicely as I'd like!

Sorry momma! I hope next month you get your BFP! But babiessoon makes a great point: at least you and sit back and try to relax this week, then regroup and get ready for next month! You can dooo it!
I know I'm not supposed to do OPKs with fmu but I did one anyway this morning. There was hardly a line! I am really starting to wonder if I got a positive OPK yesterday! I'll try to take one later. Now that I think about it, maybe there was some reason my period was almost a week early last month, so I have a longer cycle this month. I guess it could happen!
Anyway, hope everyone has a great Saturday! And I hope to see some BFPs this weekend!

Thanks everyone for all of the warm wishes and welcoming me to the board with open arms! I can't wait to get to know all of you better!!
@Beth--One of the very few things I noticed before I got my BFP was all the pressure/aches in my lower abdomen and I could not sleep well at all! So don't count yourself out just yet!
