I'm a teacher too! 31, recently married and been trying to conceive #1 since April. Had a miscarriage at 5 weeks over Christmas and ovulated again last weekend. I'm driving myself mad waiting for the two weeks to be over.

Good luck everyone I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us all!

Negative for me too. No AF yet. Am debating getting the husband to hide the tests so I can't POAS out of frustration every single time I go...

Buffie123 · 14/01/2015 17:46

I am thinkng about getting rid of my opks and my apps etc and just letting nature take its course. The TWW drives me nuts lol xx

fourcorneredcircle · 14/01/2015 18:05

But now you are playing the game you know the rules and so you will be looking for the TWE anyway... :(

Buffie, if this isn't a lucky month for us I'm scrapping my BBT thermometer & just tracking BD & EWCM for the month. I imagine I'll be a lot more chilled! I only take OPKs which turn out to be positive when I notice EWCM so feel like I don't need them.

Buffie123 · 14/01/2015 18:41

toohardtothinkofaname I agree with your idea. I tried charting my temps but kept forgetting to do it as soon as I woke up and I would only remeber after I had got out of bed! i already have two boys but would love abother so I'm keeping my fingers crossed ??

Hi all, I'm not teacher too and TTC #1... almost! Just waiting for first real AF to arrive after finishing the pill (should be next week ), would have to get upduffed the first go in order to hit the sweet spot for teaching maternity leave though! Good luck everyone!

toohardtothinkofaname · 15/01/2015 11:17

Hi oneyorkshirepud - I hope you don't have a long wait. Mine showed after 90 days but only after I intervened with soy! Waited 40 days to OV second time & put it down go success of acupuncture. It's been great!

Can't quite believe this but AF arrived in the night- 5 days early! Only good thing is I was so surprised I wasn't too disappointed! But my cycles are getting shorter! Now down to 26 days.. Anyway. Good luck to all and I'll see you in a couple of weeks! Fx for you all! Smile

Sorry surferchic! Onto the next one Grin

No symptoms still, not convinced this month!

Hobbit19 · 15/01/2015 18:47

Good news on a shorter cycle though surferchic. Will definitely consider acupuncture if I think I need it, I had some done at the physio once, it was good! Reckon I will try to be patient for now...

fourcorneredcircle · 15/01/2015 20:31

Still no news here... I have developed a stinking cold over the day though - wonder if that could be affecting AF. Bloomin' rubbish.

Hobbit19 · 15/01/2015 21:43

I was pretty grumpy today, hoping it's PMSL!

Hobbit19 · 15/01/2015 21:43

*PMT! Silly autocorrect!

emma85x · 16/01/2015 12:23

Help! I'm 4 dpo, I've just been to the loo and there's some blood. Just started. Had cramps for a couple of days now. Has anyone else had this? I have to go and teach in a minute and really don't want to!!! xxxxx xxxxx

Hobbit19 · 16/01/2015 19:06

Oh no, did you make it through the rest of the day okay Emma?

emma85x · 16/01/2015 19:25

Thank you oneyorkshirepud. Still a light bleed, it's not like a full period so praying it's just implantation bleed??

Hobbit19 · 16/01/2015 20:00

Presume so, I am still learning about all of this to be honest. Or perhaps your cycle has got out of sync? I'd be really surprised if your egg had fertilised, implanted and unimplanted in 4 days, I don't think that is even possible..? Hopefully someone with more experience of this will be along to reassure you soon. Exciting stuff though if it is implantation bleeding. ..

DefinitelyNotElsa · 17/01/2015 10:15

Surferchic - Sorry to hear about AF.

Emma85 - keeping fingers crossed that you've had an implantation bleed.

I tested on Thurs (11dpo) with an Internet cheapie and got a BFN. Was bummed, but not surprised. Retested this morning and there was a faint but definite line. Retested with a clear blue digital... And got a BFP!

I think I'm still in shock. Can't believe it's real.

emma85x · 17/01/2015 10:39

Definitelynotelsa Congratulations!!!!! That's amazing news!! Grin

Hobbit19 · 17/01/2015 10:54

Wow notelsa, that's awesome! How long have you been ttc? Emma, I downloaded the Ovia app last night and it says implantation occurs 7 - 10 dpo. Are you sure you oved when you thought you did?

emma85x · 17/01/2015 11:06

Hi oneyorkshirepud, thank you so much for commenting. Currently lying in bed feeling a bit low Sad I use the Ovia app too (it's fab isn't it!) I used Clearblue digital ovulation tests and had flashing smiley faces for 8 days then solid smiley on Monday and Tuesday this week. I'm on day 32 now and normally (they're not too regular!) my cycles are 35-39 days. Still bleeding, so it's been 24 hrs now. Not sure it's even possible to have a period so soon after ovulation?? No idea what's going on Sad

DefinitelyNotElsa · 17/01/2015 11:07

Thanks!

This is cycle 2 of TTC #1. I used Ovia religiously for about 3 months prior to trying to get to know my cycle, then pretty much used the 'Sperm Meets Egg Plan) alongside OPKs. I'd recommend Ovia and the SMEP to anyone - they're both so clear and concise.

Hobbit19 · 17/01/2015 11:18

Hmmmm, bit random then Emma but I guess anything is possible?! Maybe go and see your GP if you are worried xx

emma85x · 17/01/2015 11:42

Thank you. Confused Good luck to everyone x
