Munchkin, I know it probably doesn't seem like much help, but I really think if that's how someone is going to treat you, you don't want to work for them any way. What a really, really shitty thing to do to someone having been through what you are going through.

This is where I hate that the law doesn't take into account situations like yours, or mine for that matter. If everything happens as it should the law would protect you from what happened. But for those who go through an early birth, most of the time we haven't made it anywhere near doing all the proper stuff with notifications and paperwork etc. My husband nearly lost his Paternity Leave because he didn't give the required 13 weeks notice of requiring it. Probably because at that point I was in hospital fighting for my life and by the time she was born 11 weeks early he missed the deadline. Thankfully the union got involved and he was allowed to take it.

Fucking employers.

Hey how's everyone doing today? After spending most of yesterday crying and drinking a lot of wine last night I've had a much better day today. I went to a body balance class at the gym tonight though and I think I overdid it! My hips feel really dodgy now, I have to remember it's only 2 weeks ago I gave birth!!

Ive not read all of this post but just wanted to say im so sorry for what you had to go through and pray that you get what you wish for.

 

[Munchkin30]

Thank you xx

Glad you're feeling better! Wine always helps! Have you had any more work thoughts? X

Ladies I need some temping advice! I woke an hour early this morning and went for a wee. When I realised I couldn't get back to sleep I took my temp and it was 97.05, very low!! I took it again at 6am as normal even tho I hadn't slept and it was 97.45 which was more what I expected. Which should I use? I thought I oved yesterday and the low temp means I def didn't but the higher temp if followed by another rise tomorrow round suggest I did. So annoyed this happened today of all days!! X

 

[Munchkin30]

Eurgh temping issues always happen at the worst time of the month!! I'd log the later temp to be honest but maybe get an extra bd in tomorrow until you've got another few days of high temps just in case.
I've vowed not to temp this time because it turns me into a loon, particularly in the 2ww, and I use the cbfm and opks and have clear ov pain so will be doing smep xx

 

[Mrs W 11]

I know it's the worst day but the anxiety of knowing I need the temp always makes my sleep restless so it's a vicious circle!

I've heard good things about the cbfm, ill be keeping my fingers crossed for your bfp! If you can do it without temping I agree it's so much less stressful!!

We've dtd the last 3 days in a row. Do I try and seduce hubby again tonight incase I ov today or wait until tomorrow?! Arghhhh! Poor guy!

 

[Munchkin30]

Honestly I'd miss today and go again tomorrow. Do y

 

[Munchkin30]

Do you have a link to your chart? X

Ignore the crazy temps last week, I was really unwell with a flu virus and my temps were crazy.

I had a + opk on Monday night and so expected to ov yesterday but could be today I guess. If you look at past charts I tend to have a dip followed by 2 rises. So 97.05 means I didn't ov yet, 96.45 means I did grrr. Tomorrows temp will tell me more but I ideally don't want to dtd tonight and now I feel like we should!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Actually looking again 97.45 isn't as high as my first rise last month. It's below cover line. Damn it!!! I bet I ovulate today.

 

[Munchkin30]

Hon I really wouldn't worry. If you ov today you'll still have a few try's that will count, and the stats on getting pregnant from DTD on the day of ov are actually pretty low , you're far better DTD before. Also just DTD every other day through the month should be enough to keep you covered. I know what it's like though!! Relax and if you fancy it tonight or tomorrow then fine but you're covered anyway xx

I'm going to do SMEP as well as soon as I can get back to TTC.

Mrs W I think you're covered as well but if it will make you feel better try and get in another bd today.

 

[Munchkin30]

Yay burton we can be in the smep club together! How are you getting on? I'm still getting spotting/pink cm but not much. God knows how long it'll be before AF though!!

 

[babyjan]

Hey guys.

Hope you don't mind me asking but I usually have a 28 day cycle, last cycle I got positive OPK in cd16 and the one before cd13, this cycle I'm not using any OPKs but I'm having ewcm on cd9 today and yesterday, what do you guys think of this?

I'm thinking its way to early as the last cycles I got ewcm close to positive OPK and after, so not sure what to think really x

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks girls. It's silly I know, if it was anyone else I'd be saying you're covered, don't stress, but because its me I just want to give it all we've got!! Last two pregnancies I've got a bfp doing it every day day so I know realistically its fine! Ill see what hubby says later.

I bought some face packs in superdrug earlier, they look really nice and were 4 for the price of 3 so tonight I plan a bath and a glass of wine and hopefully sleep until 6am tomorrow so I know if I get a temp rise or not!!

Munchkin, I hope af isn't too long. How quickly did your cycle come back last time? I know it was a lot different being earlier but can't remember if you tend to be a quick recoverer or slower.

Baby jan, I'm not sure. When do you usually get ewcm? It def seems to early for ov but I've learnt anything can happen in ttc! My best bet if you are ttc is dtd every other day until you are sure you've ovulated and then you can stop!

Still getting spotting and a bit of light bleeding, hope it stops soon.

Babyjan - have you got an OPK to take? It might put your mind at rest about the EWCM. I never took much notice of cm because I found it too confusing.

 

[Munchkin30]

Baby jan I've had cycles when I've had early patches of ewcm, and then it stops and I ov normally, but yes anything can happen., I've never managed to identify ov by ewcm, it's usually a few days before but can vary. Yes DTD every other day til you're sure you've ov'd x

Mrs W I know what you mean, wait til we start trying, I'll be stressing unless we have pin point BDing accuracy!!

 

[Munchkin30]

Button have you done any hpts yet? I did them every day after my last mc and tracked the line fading but not dared this time!

Mrs W last time I ov'd the day after my first neg hpt, cd27. I usually ov cd14-17. I got my AF 11 days later so it was a 39 day cycle which I think is about average. After that my cycles were back to normal and I got my bfp after 3 cycles. Don't know if thus will be better or worse. The bleedings been lighter but lasted longer.?
