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

Hi Emma; my friend had a 5 day AF then started another period a week later! She got her BFP straight after that though so still hope with silly cycles!

Congrats notelsa! we're gonna give SMEP a go if this cycle doesn't work.

Currently 12dpo & feel like AF is on way but BBT rose by .5 this morning so not sure what's happening. Thankfully out of tests so no urge to POAS yet. Waiting until Tuesday (if BBT still up)

Thank you so much. Feeling more optimistic. I emailed my amazing acupuncturist and he said not to worry, blood can be a good sign and just to put my feet up, rest and keep warm! Here's hoping! Thanks for all the support! Blush

Congratulations notelsa!!! How wonderful! Fx Emma, and best thing is to rest up.. Sounds like inplantation at that early stage.. X

Update: bleeding has stopped! So it was very light for a day and a half. Praying it's implantation bleeding.

DefinitelyNotElsa · 17/01/2015 18:54

That's great news Emma! Fingers crossed for you. When's your BFP due? Smile

Hobbit19 · 17/01/2015 19:48

Ooh exciting! Fingers crossed!

emma85x · 17/01/2015 19:53

BFP is due on the 25th. Also don't fancy a glass of wine. This is VERY unlike me!! LOL WinkWineWine

emma85x · 17/01/2015 19:54

Hoping morning sickness will come soon!

toohardtothinkofaname · 18/01/2015 08:11

Any more BFPs this morning?! Grin

Yesterday I was sure AF on the way; heavy, warm & wet feeling. So sure I had a beer last night! This morning though my temps are still above the newly reached heights of 98.5 so was obviously wrong, whoops.

Zero symptoms to reports but occasional sore boobs...

toohardtothinkofaname · 18/01/2015 08:13

Here's my chart for any BBT pros

Any teachers in TWW?
DefinitelyNotElsa · 18/01/2015 08:40

How exciting TooHard! Have you POAS yet?

emma85x · 18/01/2015 09:24

What are the main things to look for in a BFP BBT chart? good luck toohard!!!!! Flowers

toohardtothinkofaname · 18/01/2015 09:34

It's sustained temps, so a few random high ones don't mean much. You can tell if you're pg without buying a test if they stay up for more than 18 days, although I doubt I'll last that long if I make it to 15dpo I'm testing. I did one 10dpo & saw the tiniest of squinty lines that I caught only just when it was turned a certain way haha. So obviously I've discounted that! Zero symptoms so not really feeling hopeful but maybe I'm looking for too much? Everyone posts about big symptoms & maybe my slight ache in boobs & occasional tight feeling in abdomen is all I'll get!

emma85x · 18/01/2015 09:53

Your chart looks very promising then!!! What day are you on now?!

toohardtothinkofaname · 18/01/2015 13:34

CD53 & 13dpo! I'm praying temps stay up Grin

I'll be stopping temping for the next couple of months if we're not lucky this time. It's really affecting my sleep! Luckily I'm one of those women that feels OV so I'll know if it's happened without need to chart x

fourcorneredcircle · 18/01/2015 14:24

Congratulations to those BFPs! I'm out, AF showed up late to the party but there none the less. October baby it will have to be ;)

Hobbit19 · 18/01/2015 16:14

October is good, you can go back for a few weeks of 'admin' then bugger off on ML then get paid for the summer holidays after a week of work in July, winner!

toohardtothinkofaname · 18/01/2015 17:42

ah fourcorneredcircle! how regular are your cycles, will you get another go soon? I know that's a random question but I didn't OV until CD40 this cycle and my last cycle (first month TTC) I OV'd on CD88! :O

I'm hoping it happens for us soon as I want to avoid a December baby

emma85x · 18/01/2015 17:56

Toohardtothinkofaname - Have you tried acupuncture? My periods were 60/90/55 days etc.... 3 sessions of Acupuncture and now 35ish day cycles. Really recommend it!

toohardtothinkofaname · 18/01/2015 19:34

Yeah, that's what's shortened my cycle by half Grin

cremedecacao · 18/01/2015 19:55

Congrats to everyone with BFPs! I'm another teacher who is TTC. Had a missed miscarriage early December and this is my first proper cycle since. In fertile week now, so on the look out for EWCM, but none yet :(

Oneyork - good point about mat leave!

montymum · 18/01/2015 22:36

Another teacher TTC, age 31 (for another 6 days) , TTC#2 (DS 2.5years) cycle 3. Looking at an October baby now just entering my fertile week so will be back on the 2ww soon. At least work keeps us busy with DS I conceived over the summer holidays and a 2ww with no work really is all consuming! Good luck everyone

cremedecacao · 18/01/2015 22:54

Yes, weekends are the worst! have spent all weekend Googling TTC related things and not doing schoolwork. Oops! At least work is so full on that I won't have time to think about it during the day (hopefully).

cremedecacao · 18/01/2015 22:54

And Montymum, sounds like we will be doing the 2ww at the same time!

emma85x · 19/01/2015 12:01

Anyone else on a PPA and should be marking but is instead on Mumsnet?!! D'oh!!
