Just quick update now FF and I are not sure when I ov I have has 3 diff sets of opks this cycle I was waiting to see what my temps did before I added the data. Either way I am glad they are on the rise so I will wait between end of May and 4th June. If I am not I will be out for a cycle as db and I are travelling at the time but not together so we shall see.

 

[skweek35]

Yup I agree, wait and see what your temps do. FXed they continue to rise.

Only a few more days till we hear from Kat again

Hey Bonnie - how you doing, hun?

 

[Bonnie1990]

Crazy thought LW-with the late OPK's
Have you tried a HPT? OPK's can show pos when pg.

I'm good. Gearing up for freak week and looking forward to my first fertilty acupuncture treatment tomorrow after work!

 

[Lotus Womb]

Thanks ladies you are super supportive I think I will wait it out like Skweek suggested.
Bonnier it did cross my mind but I have decided just to be patient and see what happens. If I cave I will let u know lol I want to at least wait till at due

 

[Bonnie1990]

You are too good!
I have no patience! Lol

 

[skweek35]

Hi ladies,
Bonnie, cant believe its almost freak week again for you. Feels like just the other day you were enjoy FW!!
I really ought to look into acupuncture suring pregnancy. I would love to get a session or 2. I hear it is soooo relaxing! I hope you enjoy it and FXed it does the trick for you!

LW - you really are a better person then I am. I would be counting down the days till 10DPO just so I could test!!!

AFM - just 1 week and 1 day till school holidays! But only have a week off - if you can call it that! with the 2 bank holidays its really only 3 days off! Cheated I tell you!
Most of the bank holidays are in school holidays so dont get the full effect of them!! Boohoo!!
Then its a 7 weeks term before we are off for 5 weeks, Then I'm back at work for 5 weeks then off on Mat leave for 39 weeks! Then work for 1 1/2 weeks then off for another 5 weeks! Think I have it worked to a fine art!

 

[Bonnie1990]

39 week maternity leave!!

The standard in here is 8 weeks for vaginal and 12 for c-section!

Although what is so awesome for me this time around is that I get to be a sahm! No going back to work for me for a while! I will also work on finishing up school faster! So come on beanie!!! Mama wants to come home!

 

[skweek35]

Is that Mat leave full pay?
Our mat leave has a sliding scale of pay. For the first 4 weeks its full pay, 2 week 90% pay, 3 months statutory maternity pay and 1/2 my salary pay and a further 3 months of just Stat Mat pay. We are allowed to take up to a full year off, but after the 39 weeks there is no pay. So I will be going back to work then. I will be going back to work for about a week and a half. If I didnt then I wouldnt get paid for my summer holidays!
Cheeky I know but lots of teachers do that!

YAY YAY Its FRIDAY!!!! The sun is out and its going to be a gorgeous day!!

Have a lovely Friday ladies!

 

[Lotus Womb]

The sun is beautiful and hot this morning* My friend in Miami got 12 weeks off when she has her daughter. She had a caesarean. I thought what is that about I thought it was the same as the U.K* My DB from Mia another reason I am happy to stay in London for now is that we get more holiday* However the sunshine is calling so who knows.
Bonnie enjoy freak week and catch that eggy

 

[Bonnie1990]

You can collect disability after using your sick leave. I think it is a three week wait. Then it's around 60% of your pay. If your company is large enough and you have been there over a year you can take an additional 3 months without paid but your position is protected. That's it.

We have a wedding to go to tomorrow. It is supposed to be nice weather so I am looking forward to it. DB not so much lol

And it's a 3day weekend for the memorial day holiday here! Yeah!

 

[skweek35]

Morning ladies,
What a lovely day it is here in sunny UK!!! and for once I can say that without being sarcastic!

Bonnie - Lucky you to have a 3 day weekend! Hope the weather holds out nicely for the wedding
Freak week - rain down your blessing and dust!!

LW - Hope you are making the most of this glorious weather!

I'm hoping to get out for a walk in a country park. I also have a ton of work to wade through before the end of the weekend! then a week till we have a week off!

 

[Lotus Womb]

Hey ladies, yes the weather has been glorious since wednesday and today I have been in the park and relaxing just got home. It is so nice when the weather is good. Only issue is that from last night I either have hayfever or a cold. Not really getting Itchy eyes usually get in July August time so I think it's the nasty cold that has been doing the rounds at work. At least I was not on my mini trip. So not sure how accurate my temps will be going fwd but I usually get over colds in 2 or 3 days so won't effect me too much. Hope you both have a great weekend.
