May we have a positive May!

When I first read your message about Putsborough Beach I didn't think you and your dh were 'typical British types' at all!!!
That made me laugh a lot I can tell you!!

Teenagers were good..had to stop a burping contest from almost taking place(?!!)but, apart from that, good fun thanks!

I think we British types get ashamed too easily. Note to self: do NOT use the BLUSH emoticon again.

Good luck with your teenagers Coggy. Hope they're not too hormonal for you.

Mind you, the way I'm feeling at the moment, I really am calling the kettle black.

LOL Hopecat - I agree. Telling people on MN things you would NEVER discuss with anyone else!
That's what makes it so addictive I guess...it's good to say what you think and be able to just ask anything even though it would shame the whatsit out of me in RL!!

I MUST go...supposed to be teaching some teenagers in 15 minutes!

                  ....VERY addictive.......

Lotta: I'm glad your boobs hurt! (What a weird sentence).

Coggy, I agree it's not good to get excited too early, but I'm just made that way. I know exercising self-control is a sign of adulthood, but this is me exercising self-control.

Me not exercising self-control: telling everyone I meet "hello. I think I'm pregnant".

God Bless the Interweb. I suppose I see MN as place where I can let the self-control drop a bit.

Hopecat - it would be sooooo cool if North Devon worked for you....let's hope so, although I know it's best not to get excited early on.

I've taught in primary schools for over 11 years (which makes me sound old - but I'm not really!!)
I wenbt part-time a few years ago in an effort to see dh a bit more. Not very easy ttc when you both work completely different times hey?!

Hopecat my boobs are killing me today, glad you have a funny taste in your mouth

By the way coggy, sorry about your freaky cycles. Although, personally, if AF's going to come I'd rather she was early than late.

I saw you on the Clomid thread when I was having a lurk. Good luck with it!

I've got a metallic taste in my mouth today, and I feel totally wiped out. Hope this isn't all psychosomatic, I've got a dreadfully overactive imagination.

I'm freelance - specialist subject - so I don't have to work in normal schools.

Frankly, I couldn't take the pressure. Don't know how you guys handle it.

My friend works as a primary school teacher and seems to be permanantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Hold on a minute......if we both teach...how can we both be on here now??!!!

Unfortunately not so for me I'm afraid...CD2 today...freaky cycles the last two.
This one only 25 days...boo hoo......

Implantation usually occurs around CD22. It's when the zygote buries itself into the endometrial lining, which occasionally causes the implantation bleed.

Apparently.

Coggy: maybe the Easter holidays will have had the same magical effect. I had 3 weeks this year, and it felt great.

Hopecat I thought if we are on day cd22 implatation should have happened by know am I wrong ?

Hey...I am a ttc teacher too!!!
So many of us!

If it's of any use when I went to ante-natal class last year, 8 out of 9 of us were teachers. All conceived late August/early Septemeber...obviously chilled out after those luvverly looooooong summer holidays.

Hi Wannabe. If in doubt. gargle with salt instead. Although it's not nice, it is sooting, and clears up topical infection too. Fingers crossed for your test tomorrow. Glad to hear you're feeling more positive!

Half this thread seems to be on CD22 today. Implantation day! Watch those pants girls.

morning all :)

Hope you're all ok this morning, sorry I've kind of lost track of who is on what day so don't know whether anyone due to test soon?

CD37 here, no af, am definitely not simptom spotting as feel this can only lead to disappointment, but one thing I've noticed is that I have spots, bloody loads of 'em! And I haven't had spots like that for .. since I was pg with ds tbh. Will test again tomorrow/Friday. Meantime though, I have a sore throat and not sure whether I can suck strepsils, anyone know?

OMG Hopecat, Now thats just too freaky!! despite what it looks like I've not been on here all night! off now as CSI is on. Have a good day tomorrow everyone and good luck Maazaa hopefully he'll be back soon and raring to go!

Teachers galore!!!!! much in common!

So, ladies....do you believe in fate.....?? further to my earlier studying of pants and complaints that if I am detecting ewcm, dh is away with work....
the flight was cancelled and he is on his way home!!!!!!!! :) Poor fella is delighted - not because of the potential baby-making opportunity, but because he can watch the footie and sleep in his own bed! How little does he know........

Hey SM - crossed post. I'm getting excited too. Lots of symptoms. Oooh, it's so hard to wait.

cazzybabs: sorry to hear about your AF. .

Welcome to the May thread!

I'm a teacher too! I teach all over the place though. (I live near you, don't I Peachy).

OMG are we all teachers - I teach in a prep school in Cambridge.

Can I join you? :( but also :) because I get to join you.... was so sure I was as AF was 4 days late but am clearly not! Oh well here is to success in 14 days time!

hmm yes that would make your visitors look twice as they sat in your loo

yes - it was excellent. Am going to print out and stick to bathroom wall!!!!!!!!!! (note to self....remove before visitors arrive!). According to the picture it's ewcm, but hopefully will last a few days if that is the case. We are bding most nights anyway to be on the safe side! Just annoying that he has gone away now.

Did you look at the pictures on that site I think its really helpful - a sort of mucus for beginners!!
