So, back at work after the break, and already shattered, and attempting not to symptom spot.. Anyone with me?

My stats:31, ttc#2, cycle 1, with a little one who has just turned 2. AF/BFP due around 20th, and I'm about 7dpo, but that's by CM as I don't do any charting or OPKs.. So currently excited, and nervous.

hey surferchic,

Not a teacher but also on 7dpo with BFP due January 20th (although I'm thinking about testing on Saturday 17th).

Desperately trying not to symptom spot!

good luck

Becca83 · 12/01/2015 14:01

I'm in the exact same situation as you both! This week is going to be hard! Not a teacher though....

toohardtothinkofaname · 12/01/2015 16:42

I'm terribly impatient. No noticeable symptoms so not feeling too excited although still time

I think today my boobs were sore, but may have just been from workout yesterday- press ups! Wink

Welcome all.. The TWW is so annoying.. Thismorning I caved and bought lots of different tests (boots 3 for2), so I think I'm gonna test Friday morning (which will be three days early)..

Good luck!! Let us know how it goes!! Smile

Becca83 · 13/01/2015 17:08

I stupidly did a cheapy asda test today, just because I was in and saw it! Bfn of course, but not even due to test til Monday/Tuesday! I'm so stupid, I'm only 8dpo! Aaargh!

emma85x · 13/01/2015 17:18

Patience is a virtue so they say! I'd do exactly the same though Tbh!! Good luck for next week! x

Hi guys, I'm new to the site. I'm a teacher of Psychology. My DH had a VR a year ago and I'm still not pregnant ??. I am due on in the next couple of days, but am preying it's our month. As usual I have been symptom spotting for the past 10 days! I'm interested in the symptoms you guys are experiencing as you approach AF date. I have been feeling a bit nauseous, on and off, after drinking my usual cappuccino. My breasts feel heavier and look bigger, but then they do with AF. Xxx

DefinitelyNotElsa · 13/01/2015 19:11

I'm also a teacher in the midst of the TWW. BFP is due 19th and I'm desperately trying not to symptom spot.

According to colleagues and friends, this is the time of year many teachers are hoping for BFPs, but it's good to know I'm not alone!

Becca, that makes me feel so much better! I was so tempted to test today, but I know even with a frer I would still have to leave it until about friday...arhhh!

Emma, when is BFP due?

Buffie, that sucks.. Fx that this is your month.. Do you do charting and temping etc? I watch for ewcm which is a pretty good indicator for me..

Symptom wise, I've not had much, tbh.. Wishful thinking has given me slightly sore boobs and weird dreams.. But last time I had no symptoms before my BFP..

Teachers and Autumn babies Smile

Nothing to do with being eldest in the year group? Grin

I am a teacher and three of my children have September birthdays. I was coming to the end of the TWW this time last January. DD was born September 2014.

FATEdestiny · 13/01/2015 19:19

Forgot to add...

Good luck everyone!

Buffie123 · 13/01/2015 19:50

Hi surferchick, thanks. I use opks. I started using them late this month though at day 14 so I suspect I missed my surge. I am confused though as I used an opk about 4 days ago (so day 22 of 28 day cycle approx) using first morning urine and had a definite second line on opk. But tested using opk later that day and nothing. Did same thing day after. Got a definite second line using FMU but nothing at all later the same day?? Lol

Fate, my mum has this theory women have a fertile time of year.. Without planning me and my sisters were born July/August.. And she had tried all year!

I did use an OPK once but wasn't even sure how to read it (a mate gave me a couple).. If BFP doesn't come along, I might try next month.. But Fx!

emma85x · 13/01/2015 21:05

BFP is due Jan 25th. Love the teacher chat! Eldest in the year plus can't be timetabled for next academic year!! Grin Fingers crossed but it is our first month TTC. Eeeeek x

emma85x · 13/01/2015 21:06

Surferchick I'm using Clearblue advanced digital ovulation tests... But I had flashing smiley faces for 8 days before solid smiley face!

Us! (Well I'm the teacher) TC #1 3rd cycle. AF due tomorrow ... Had hoped that the destress over the break would help but we'll see.

toohardtothinkofaname · 14/01/2015 07:02

Still no symptoms but had a .4 rise on my bbt chart this morning taking me well into the 98s Grin

Got a couple of tests so will do one Friday morning (11dpo) and then Monday (14dpo) if no temp dip. FX!

Good luck everyone! I'm so relieved to be coming to the end of a THREE week wait (FF changed my OV date a week after I thought I already had. Thankfully I noticed the signs & DTD day before & on OV)

Buffie123 · 14/01/2015 16:42

Negative test just now for me. AF not due until tomorrow and I have been drinking water all day, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I might test tomorrow using first morning urine? X
