LittleMissSunshine33 · 30/01/2014 07:17

Oh yes forgot to put my stats on! TTC #1 cycle 3 AF/BFP due 28th Feb!

I think it is felt in all schools at the mo I'm in EYFS and expecting an inspection so school is crazy! But keeps my mind going baby crazy! Grin

mum2kiss · 30/01/2014 07:20

Or was it! I noticed that where the max line was there was slight pinkyness when I examined it...when I lifted the flap there was a faint pink line!!!!! I tried to get a pic but it was blurred and now the pink line has evaporated/merged with the control line!!!

What does this mean!!!!!!

Moffit · 30/01/2014 07:29

Have you got another test mum2kiss? Did you PIAC, if so save it and go get another test. How many dpo are you?

mum2kiss · 30/01/2014 07:35

I threw the piac down the loo when I thought it was negative!!!

Im 12dpo...

I have uploaded the blurred pic to my.profile so you can give me your thoughts on it lol!

barmybunting · 30/01/2014 07:44

mum2kiss go and find another stick to do another test if you can! When is af due?

Nice to see you but sorry to see you on the Feb bus if you know what I mean onelife and littlemiss. Hopefully this will be the lucky one for you both!

Kitty thank you. I half wish I had moved after the new curriculum came out to avoid the change Smile . I know everyone must be feeling that same uncertainty over the change in Sept so I need to remember that! How are secondary schools coping with the change? You'll be busy in your dept when your line manager heads off I reckon, make sure you look after yourself!

Experience of this will be good for my career but some days I just want to tell my career to bugger off and stay at home with the cat! I've given myself until the Easter hols in this job to get my head around things a bit more and am hoping it'll feel easier. By then, the kids will have got me caught and I won't want to leave them so I'll be fine from then Smile .

missmrs thanks, I've found some LEAs which do that. The area I'm currently in doesn't but it appears a fair number do. How on earth do you go about changing from secondary to primary teaching? I bet that hasn't been easy!

mum2kiss · 30/01/2014 07:49

Af is due Saturday...I feel like if it was a real bfp the line would be very clear at this point past ov!

barmybunting · 30/01/2014 07:56

At what stage did you get your bfp for dc1? (I hope I'm correct in thinking you are ttc #2, hence my question Smile ). Apparently some people only show up properly with bfp after af is due so I think you are still in with a chance.

mum2kiss · 30/01/2014 08:02

I got the bfp 2 days after af was due with dc #1

I might buy a proper test later...

SybilRamkin · 30/01/2014 08:21

Ooh, can I jump on please? TTC #1, first month trying, AF/BFP due 17th Feb.

How exciting mum2kiss! Sounds like you might have done it - go and buy another test IMMEDIATELY and POAS so you can update!

mama31 · 30/01/2014 08:24

Mum I can't get on to your profile to view your pic, can you make your profile public?? Hoping it's your bfp!!!

Well, looks like I've just had a 20day cycle as fresh red blood this morning which usually goes full flow during the day (sorry tmi, seriously!) for some bizarre reason my cycles are getting shorter and more weird! So annoying!!!!

New stats: Mama31 TTC#2 Cycle 9! BFP due 20-24th Feb

Hazelbrowneyes · 30/01/2014 08:37

Morning all,

Good to see a few of us due around the same time (25th) I'm really hoping this bus is lucky for all of us!

I'm hoping we're going to book a short break around the time I should ovulate (coincidence!). I think being away from work/home and in our favourite hotel in our favourite place might be lucky for us Grin

I'm trying not to stress too much as DH has repeatedly told me not to as we've only just started trying. He's making a huge effort as well - less alcohol, less caffeine, more vitamins, lots of fruit and veg so it's nice that I'm not the only one doing it Smile

According to my app, my fertile period starts next Thursday and OV should be around the 11th.

My resolution for Feb is to not symptom spot. HA! Grin

Hazelbrowneyes · 30/01/2014 08:37

Ah mama so sorry Sad Do you normally have short cycles? Maybe it's worth seeing the GP? x

mum2kiss · 30/01/2014 08:49

It should be public now

broodysnoopstie · 30/01/2014 08:50

mum2kiss thats exciting! keep us updated! I'm still holding out until sunday I try and pee flush away fmu as soon as poss so I'm not tempted! .. Sorry a few ladies are feeling a bit down.. i always find the last week in jan a bit of a slog even without the trials and tribulations of ttc.. chin up everyone the weekend is nearly here and so is Feb.

hi one any spare creme eggs going??

EnglishGirlAbroad · 30/01/2014 09:17

Think we need a stats update?? I'll do it if no one minds.....
Any one else want to add to the list??

bellaboo88 · 30/01/2014 09:24

English, please can you add me as a lurker?

Due AF tonight if going by last cycle(first post pill) but nothing no symptoms only cramping at 8dpo, now on 10dpo. Handcuffed myself to the seat on January bus & refusing to get off! x

naty1 · 30/01/2014 09:30

I can't really see to well on photo but know my bfp was really faint on first response, clearer on clear blue and said pregnant on the digital one (over a few days)

mama31 · 30/01/2014 09:32

Mum I'm not sure is the line where it's supposed to be or further up??? You need to retest as those IC's do crazy things some times but hoping it's your bfp!!!! Good luck!

Hazel I've had 21 day bloods done before and other tests- all normal apparently! But I am making another appointment as my cycles are usually 23-26 days, and this is the first 20day cyle!!! They do vary each cycle never the same! So annoying!! DH also is going to get his swimmers checked soon so that will help to know if he's ok! And I'm hoping GP might be concerned re my varying cycles!

On the plus side I'm away on a romantic break next wkend with DH, AF will be well away by then and I will be coming up to ovulation again so can get plenty of relaxed, nice, non-mechanical dtd! Determined not to follow anything for cycle 9 just want a nice romantic time away with DH without plotting/cycling/positioning.....keeping it natural this month!!

At least I get another shot at feb bus ;)

mama31 · 30/01/2014 09:32

Oh and broody sorry I've eaten all the creme eggs hahaha!!! Will buy some more to share with you later!

broodysnoopstie · 30/01/2014 09:47

mama rude! Wink your romantic break sounds lovely.

Here broody (passes box of 3 creme eggs) eat those! All of them! To stop me eating them!!! Thanks, yes I can't wait! Lots to be thankful for really :)

naty1 · 30/01/2014 10:13

Mama did they test for tsh for hypothyroidism?
If you take your temp every morning before getting up (like temping) but only for the first few days of period.
If it is below a normal body temp that can be a sign for hypothyroidism.

gennibugs · 30/01/2014 10:22

Morning all.

You bad ladies have given me a craving for a creme egg. Might have to get one to have later as home alone tonight as a treat.

mum that sounds promising are you going to do another test or wait until the weekend?

Im still resisting the urge to poas - just!

MrBsMrsB · 30/01/2014 10:23

Hi ladies....

I have woken up this morning not feeling so positive.
As i said before, I've been using the One Step OPKs and got +ve lines on CD11, 12 & 13 (Is that even normal?) BD'd on CD7, 9, 11, 12 and 14 (morning)
I wasn't able to BD again last night (CD14 Night) - which I really wanted to because the morning BD position was an interesting one (to say the least) and I don't think i got alot of the swimmers where they needed to be.

I really want to make the most of each cycle and I feel like I may not have done this one justice.

Also, I don't chart my BBT and so I cant really pinpoint when I OV'd. Based on all the info - do you think I'm ok to not have DTD last night. WIll a BD tonight make any difference? Confused

I've got the kettle on if anyone wants a Vanilla Chai or Earl Grey Brew

Thanks in Advance

MrBsMrsB ttc#1 cycle 2
