I'm thinking Sunday, which would be 8dpo. How long did you wait?
 
I managed to hold out till 11DPO. I did get a fairly strong line at that point.

Did you test around the same time last time?
 
I got a fairly clear positive at 9 dpo last time so might get something faint at 8 dpo. Last time I only got the bfp on a FRER though. I tried with IC first and got bfn. So think I'll wait until 9 dpo before using my last FRER. That's the plan anyway! :wacko:
 
:thumbup:

Any symptoms yet?! :happydance:

I had the weirdest tingling sensation in my lower stomach very early on. It was almost like magic happening in there LOL

Nothing that can't be attributed to running after a toddler all day! I was very hungry at about 2 but think thats because I didn't eat a proper lunch. I'll look out for the magic tingling!!!
 
Are you off now for the summer?

So jealous, could do with a long summer break over first tri!
 
Yes, off until the end of August now. And didn't go in for the last week of school because Emilia had the pox. So it's going to be a long break. Still not liking work at all and hoping I won't have to go back after #2.
 
That would be good not to go back. You've not been happy in your job for a while now have you.

I'm not sure whether I'll go back to work after #2 to be honest. I guess I'll see how it goes. Either way, I'll still take 12-15 months off again like last time.

Today I'm a raspberry!

DS - how are you doing???
 
Last year was my worst ever at school due to various things. With teaching it's very hard to carry on and be a good teacher if you're heart's not in it. Especially with the education system in the state it is now. Recently I've been thinking about going back but as a teaching assistant in a different shool. I don't know if that would be financially realistic though on a part time wage and paying for 2 children in childcare. Teaching assistants are very low paid. So then I'm thinking stay at home and maybe volunteer in local schools until at least DD is in school.

Congrats on your raspberry status!

DS - how's the sickness?

Symptom spotting @ 4dpo - very hungry all day and a bit of dizziness this morning but might be down to the heat and going for a run before breakfast (DD had a morning at nursery :happydance:)

Sounds like one of my best friends, she teaches Primary and was Deputy Head. Her little boy turned 1 in February and she's due her second in November. She was made to go back sooner than she wanted (after 6-7 months I think) She works Mon-Weds job share. She was pretty miserable in the last year, with not much support from her head, and other teachers weren't very happy with the situation.

She really wants to be head, but I think she felt like she couldn't do a proper job of it, and then wasn't doing a proper job being a mummy. She had mega working mummy guilt.

LOL yay for symptom spotting!! :happydance:
 
:nope: ff has changed ov to Tuesday. Should have bd-ed on Monday. And means I'm now only 3 dpo :cry: I'm really disappointed. I know ff might not be right. I might still use a ic to test possibly on Sunday or Monday. And if I did ov on Tuesday then the bd on Saturday might still have worked.
 
:hugs:

That's rubbish. Hopefully you're still in though. Bd 3 days before ov means you're still in with a chance. Think Ds fell pregnant 4 days before?

Definitely don't think you're out yet!
 
It's funny how something like that can immediately make you lose all your symptoms! I know I'm not out. And maybe it takes the pressure off testing a bit now, knowing there's a reduced chance that I'm pregnant. Trying to look for the positives! I'm glad I bought the ic tests now so I don't worry about wasting a test. I've got 35 of them!
 
As hard as it may be, try not to think about it too much.

2WW for me was terrible this time round (without a holiday to have kept me busy!!)
 
I tested today and got a bfn. Not surprised as I'm only 8 dpo at the best, or maybe only 5 dpo! I'm going to test again tomorrow. I feel like I've been having symptoms. Had heartburn last night and previously only had that in pregnancy. It was later on though. Also have developed a spot in a place where I don't usually get spots! On my top lip! Very strange place to get one and very painful! So maybe that's a sign. I know you had a breakout smawfl. How many dpo did it happen?

My spots came at 9DPO! And they were super painful, I never usually get many spots.

Boo to BFN, I think as you say it's probably too soon! How's your chart looking? Temps high?
 
Interesting! I didn't take my temperature this morning as we were staying over at DH's parents house and it was as hot as the sun in our room and i woke up a lot in the night and DD was in the bed with us!! Here's my chart. Temp tomorrow will be interesting.

On another subject we're having trouble with sleep with DD. For the past month we've had to sit in with her as she goes to sleep. And she's been waking up regularly in the night and coming into our bed. Now our holiday and all other over night stays are out of the way we want to get back to a better routine. She's still crying now :cry: We're trying the approach where we leave her but with the door open and say we're just going to do a job but will be back soon. Its so confusing for her but hoping she gets the message soon. Its going to take a while as she's not been to sleep on her own for a month now...

Oh no,sleep blips are hard! Wonder what could have triggered it? Any changes recently? Developmentally?

Dd has recently started hating bath time! And she's always been such a water baby. Think it might have been linked to when I tried to shower her in the bath and she freaked out. Last night was better,actually managed to get her in without her clinging to me trying to climb out!
 
Ps hard to say from your chart. Hoping today's temp is good!
