Ha steady. ... he doesn't deserve Wine until I'm upduffed. Wink

MissMrsMummy · 15/05/2014 21:09

Oh noooo Retro what will happen now?! So sorry. That is mega-frustrating.

KittyVonCatsington · 15/05/2014 21:18

They are bastards Retro!!! Why did they only have one other candidate if they are that worried about protocol???? Governors don't know their arse from their elbow sometimes (non staff ones that is!!)

I'll have a stiff Gin with you!!!! Wine Too f##king right you deserve a BFP after this!

Hello, i'm back after a couple of weeks following af, can someone change the stats for me, my bfp is now due on 31st.

I used an opk this morning and the line was almost as dark as the test so my DH has been told he's on duty tonight!

I've had my last caffeinated coffee tonight until either I get a positive result or af shows up, it's was lovely ;)

theduchesse · 15/05/2014 21:47

That sucks retro and toothaches DH. I hate applying for jobs.

Ooh wouldn't that make a good story if you get a bfp this month missmrs you can say "my reflexologist just knew before it even happened..."

I can see the line toots. How exciting!!

Hmmm kitty, I think you definitely either need some more practise or should get yourself down to A & E pronto!

Right, so anyone want to have a go at enlightening me about what my crazy body is up to this month? I'm on cd23, I think 4dpo based on bastardsticks but then I never did get a proper positive, just assumed I missed it when it got darker and darker over a few days and then started to go back the other way. Today I have got red tinged cm. Quite a bit of it too. It's surely too early for implantation? And way too early for af (I usually have stupid long cycles). I do have chicken pox so maybe that's just thrown everything out? I have bravely shagged right on through the pox though. You would all be so proud!

I can't believe the things I am telling you lot!

KittyVonCatsington · 15/05/2014 21:51

Def too early for AF then, duchesse so could be implantation - I'm more include to think it could be ovulation bleeding, though.

I have read that some women have had this happen, due to a particularly forceful release of the egg. Keep an eye on it obviously and hopefully it will stop tomorrow

MissMrsMummy · 15/05/2014 21:54

Good work, duchesse! Highly commended. I am not sure what your pink cm is but last cycle I started spotting at 4DPO and had 6 days of it on and off before AF finally arrived. What a shitter! Hope it's not the case for you - do you usually get spotting?

kurama · 15/05/2014 21:54

ahhh the june bus is too quiet! Sad although im on cd2 and its def af coz quite heavy last night ( sorry tmi) but i had a serious chocolate craving today so when my workmate brought 2 bars of chocolate and a big box of malteasers in im ashamed to say i ate half the choc bar and hid the malteasers and ate the lot Sad
i just keep thinking wtf is going on with me???

MissMrsMummy · 15/05/2014 21:55

Yes kitty you are right, it could be ovulation bleeding - I think I have that today. Very very light pink. Either that or DH's spermies are a funny colour Hmm

MissMrsMummy · 15/05/2014 21:56

kurama I have days like that too. I think I need a baby to make me more responsible!

silverine · 15/05/2014 23:13

Woohoo, more BFPs! Congrats toots!

So ewcm has made an appearance and the DTD period must begin now until about Tuesday!
Only problem is DH is on late shifts so he won't be back until after midnight and I'm already struggling to keep awake... [yawn]
Not surprisingly, he's tired too straight after work, so already called dibs on me being on top.
Ah well here I am complaining of being tired while I have such great role models like kurama who would DTD even with serious injury and duchesse with pox!
So DH and I will be on duty tonight too Jack Wink

retro hope you had a small Wine tonight! Chin up, I'm sure thinhs will work out Thanks

hanflan · 15/05/2014 23:29

toots that is a boooootiful line, so so happy for you!

Viperama · 15/05/2014 23:47

Hi Ladies, after jumping ship early this month I'm back as I'm about to ovulate according to OPK and EWCM.

I'm giving the softcups + preseed a go this cycle as well. Fingers crossed it works and we have a new trick up our sleeve.

The softcup was a bugger to get out, I ended up laying on my back on the bed, knees to my chest and hooking my second finger around it, but I have short stubby hands so prob the worst for them. I'm sure there's a knack and I'll soon have the hang of it.

Hope you are all well. My new stats

Viperama TTC #1, 38, cycle 5 post Feb MC, BFP due May 30th

KittyVonCatsington · 16/05/2014 06:46

He things we do, eh, Viperama !?

Got my first normal BBT Temp this morning- 36.50 is ok isn't it? As soon as I consciously opened my eyes, I grabbed the thermometer. Hopefully I've got the hang of it now!

Happy Friday ladies! Hope there is lots of shagging and BFPs this weekend!

Hello!

Everyone okay? Anyone poas this morning?

Yesterday my Mum and I were idly chatting about William and Catherine trying for a baby. Then I thought instantly of duchesse :D

Oh, a bfp! Congratulations Toots

Retro so sorry about the interview. How frustrating for you!

toothachereturns · 16/05/2014 06:56

Still no af.... sore boobs, crampy tummy. BFN this morning. Gutted. Want to cry. Sad

toothachereturns · 16/05/2014 06:56

AF was due on the 14th.

spinningirl10 · 16/05/2014 06:59

Ooh missmrs, that is strange, I would have asked her if she knew something I didn't!

Retro, that sucks! What will happen now? Fx for your house today.

Tooth, sorry it's a bfn and 2 days late, so frustrating!

RetroHippy · 16/05/2014 07:06

Ooh, Ginger, we also have fancyacupoftea, formerly known as katecupoftea...

How exciting!

Well, I'm enjoying my morning lie in by getting up and POAS pre-7am.

Now it's been cancelled I really am in two minds whether to go for it at all. I applied because I like the school, but full time isn't fun, and I can earn enough on supply. Maybe this was the universes way of giving me a bit more time to think? Ho hum.

Hmm... IC very faint evap line again, but came up quickly. In the time I took to type that ^

I've still got a bagful of ics, so I'm not going to pore on anything expensive until I'm late.

RetroHippy · 16/05/2014 07:07

To pore. Meant pee. Although technically it should be dip.

spinningirl10 · 16/05/2014 07:29

Oh Retro, that's exciting, fx for youGrin

MrsGingerbread · 16/05/2014 07:45

retro Oh, two candidates! :) I hope she does join a bus, I can't imagine ttc without the support and wisdom of the lovely mumsnetters. I bet she has a posh pot to pee in though not a colgate pump lid like me

Do either of your job options give you more security for upduffedness?

RetroHippy · 16/05/2014 08:01

I expect it will be the only bus she'll be getting on now she's all royal and stuff.

Neither job would change anything. My current contract is until the end of August, so I'll get paid in the summer hols (which has been an issue before with supply) but I've not been there long enough to qualify for occupational mat pay, so either way will be smp. I have no intention of going back after, certainly not full time, so while a perm contract sounds good, I probably won't see the benefit. I wouldn't feel right applying if I were upduffed without saying something as I know they wouldn't be happy so it feels a bit sneaky.

Viperama · 16/05/2014 08:30

Sorry for the bfn tooth, hug

Treaclepie19 · 16/05/2014 08:33

Retro the law of sod will be working it's magic on you ;)
