Mary, thank you for your kind compliment.

Nomio, but you had the perfect chart rise! Honestly, there's no mistaking ovulation with that pattern of sustained progesterone elevation. Don't sweat, missus, you are not broken Thanks It's lovely for you to say I'd make a good nurse or whatever. I wish with all my heart I had gone into the caring profession, but my life took a turn towards teaching and so my degree (which I failed to complete due to alcoholism) was in Education. I was sacked eight years ago from the school I worked at for hitting a year eleven pupil. He was 6'2", fat and the most insufferable wanker I had come across in four years of working in classrooms (and I have largely worked in pupil referral units with extremely challenging behaviour).

Anyway, he was bullying a lad in a wheelchair and I lost it. I was sacked for gross misconduct and, although there were no police charges, my CRB now carries a warning to prospective employers that I cuffed a pupil and caution should be taken if prospective employment involves working with children or vulnerable adults. Sad I cannot tell you how this devastated my life. My future as a teacher in ruins and my two-thirds- completed degree a pointless financial burden, I turned to drink. The day I arrived home from the tribunal I went to the shop for a small flask of vodka and drank it neat. I never stopped drinking after that Sad

Sorry for the offload. It makes me immensely upset to this day when I tell this story, but I am always being asked why I don't work; why I haven't made anything of myself; how wonderful a writer I would be, blah, blah, blah. The problem is I have zero confidence in my ability to resurrect any semblance of a career and, if I'm honest, I suspect my eight years in the wilderness of unemployment has been a subconscious penance for my 'crime'; I don't think I will ever get over the shame of losing it like that with a pupil.

loopylou1984 · 13/02/2015 17:46

Still no positive opk for me.... I don't think I like these cheap tests - I miss my smiley faces!! X

mummyofonesofar · 13/02/2015 17:52

Meant to say 10 beeps.

Purdey how sad! I'm glad you had the strength to give up the alcohol and turn your life around starting a family and having that gorgeous girl. It's awful that one mistake which you clearly regret a lot has had such detrimental affects on your life. You are so strong and knowledgable. I hope you find something you can do which makes you proud of who you have become. You're a diamond Flowers

loopylou1984 · 13/02/2015 18:07

The last 3 months I got my peak on day 12, 13 and 13 on the cb duel hormone test... So today is day 13 and no where near a positive on the ICs Hmm. Should I be worried? Xx

Sparkly123 · 13/02/2015 18:15

Congrats on the engagement Quietly exciting times ahead then!

Aww thanks Spinning for the recipe!! I will def do it! Purdey not gonna lie your recipe sounds pretty good too Grin

59sound Fingers crossed for you then lovely!

Spinning I have no idea what to do. I don't want to test too early but maybe I would get some v day luck Tomor? Ha ha. Just not sure?? What do you think? I had that brown cm slightly yesterday when I wiped then it stopped then today it had stopped but now got a bit only when wiping at loo now.. Brown spotting worries me....Confused

Purdey you. Are. Amazing.. You are an amazing mother to Nancy- that's a huge achievement after everything you have been through. I'm sorry to hear about what happened with your career and that it haunts you to this day. I really hope one day you will find the confidence in yourself to move forward into another path (if you do want to..) because you really are wonderful! Kids these days---bl nightmare! My friends that's are teachers tell me stories and I honestly don't know how they keep it together! Here's some V day flowers for ya my love Flowers

purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 18:20

Mummy and Sparkly, you are so generous-spirited to say those things. Thank you, thank you ThanksThanks

Sammy, I'm not the oracle of cbfm's, but doesn't peak on 12 and 13 mean ov on 14? In which case you may well ov just a day or two later this month and will get a surge tomorrow or day after. Hold on tight, love.

loopylou1984 · 13/02/2015 18:31

Yes I think you're right Purdey - last month I had peak 13 and 14 and ov 15.... Gah, I'm just so impatient! X

mummyofonesofar · 13/02/2015 18:32

This may be a stupid question but you don't know me so here goes. Just had a bath (Luke warm) and my ewcm seems to have gone! Maybe I shouldn't have soaked. Didn't think of it cleaning out my insides! Anyway does anyone know how quickly it comes back?

spinningirl10 · 13/02/2015 18:34

Purdey, I'm so sorry for you losing your job that way. It seems totally unfair that it should follow you forever.

purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 18:35

Juney, you are amazeballs for not going mortal on DHL's ass.

Congrats, Excited!

Yes, Quietly, I too would like to offer my congratulations on your engagement Thanks

Th'usband's at AA tonight (not the breakdown recovery people) so I shall be wittering inanely to you lovelies, if that's okay? Should we have a topic or theme for the night? Any suggestions?

spinningirl10 · 13/02/2015 18:38

I think one of the vitamins has improved Dp's libido! he's only been taking them for 3 days but he's really horny which is unusual for him!Smile

purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 18:40

Ah, Spinning, it is one of the Great Lessons I have in my repertoire to teach my daughter as she is growing up: nothing we do in this life is free from consequence. Nothing. Take care with yourself; take care with other people's feelings, but be responsible for no-one; the greatest power a person can have is to be in control of their actions and decisions instead of being swept through life on emotion; if you develop a temper as part of your make-up - sort it out; be in control of it, don't let it control you.

purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 18:41

....Oh, and never, ever agree to anal sex. It is never a loving act.

purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 18:42

Spinning, which supps did you plump for in th'end?

Nomio230 · 13/02/2015 18:43

purdey that is such a sad story. I can completely understand why you would have lost it with such a horrible brat.

My mum is a teacher & used to work at a college. She used to get told to f* off on a regular basis by kids more interested in their phones than learning. She now works with children with learning difficulties and loves every day of it.

It seems so unfair that you have lost your whole career due to one mistake. I bet you were a great teacher too.

It is a shame you lost so many years due to drink, but it is so amazing that you have turned your life around.

Nomio230 · 13/02/2015 18:49

That sounds good, spinning. What is he taking?

Quietly I somehow missed your announcement. Massive congratulations!

We are off out for dinner tonight. Nothing fancy, just good old Pizza Express, but it should still be fun.

Purdey I feel like I am writing all my posts to you today, but wanted to say thank you for looking at my chart. It is my first month temping, so had no idea what to look for. I am so glad I did actually ov but annoyed we haven't dtd much this month. Ah well.

Hope you all have a nice night. Smile

spinningirl10 · 13/02/2015 18:51

Purdey, he's on vitamin C, Zinc, Q10, magnesium and a men's fertilty vit. Do you think that's to many?

juneybean · 13/02/2015 18:51

I finished work very early today (bosses got off early) so am debating going to asda to get valentines treats for my date with 5 million Europeans.

Can I buy a dinky bottle of prosecco?

Purdey, very true words there and I think Nancy will turn out to be a very special young lady with you to guide her. I used to have a quick temper when I was younger but I've learnt to control it and Dp says I am one of the most patient people he knows.

victoria401 · 13/02/2015 18:56

How many days after a possible implantation bleed do you get a bfp? Just wondering. I don't have pee sticks.

juneybean · 13/02/2015 19:07

I think 24 hours?

purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 19:09

Spinning, I think that is a damned-well near-perfect cocktail for a fella. I couldn't better it mesel'.

Nomio, I should be thanking you for posting a link to your chart that allows me to stalk keep an eye out for you. Ugh. I sound so weird Hmm I think your opks didn't show a surge due to Clomid. We are told not to bother with the sticks, aren't we, so don't worry about that. You had a classic BBT nadir and a sustained rise in temps. Enjoy Pizza Express; what are you having? Smile

Victoria! I shall scan the FF chart gallery for pregnancy charts showing implantation bleeds and how far henceforth a bfp was discovered!

purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 19:14

Vic, here's your first one. She tested the day after her spotting and got a BFN but then the next day a BFP.

Rolling rolling rolling, the February bus is still rolling!
purdeybirdie · 13/02/2015 19:19

Vic, here is one where the lady got her BFP the very next day after her implantation bleed. I hate this woman. Look at all the sex she was having and she was breastfeeding!! She's 25 and tried to conceive for all of two months. I'm surprised it took the bitch her that long Envy
