If you are in a union, then your union will have a leaflet. Otherwise try directgov or nhs. SMP is about 112 quid a week, I think. If you don't goback to your job for a period of time after baby is born, and resign, then you may have to pay back maternity pay.

I am on CD 10, and ...feeling quite positive.

SMP is £123.06 pw (or is it £126.03 ) (this will go up in April but I dont think its going to be by much) unless 90% of your average weekly earnings is less than this and then it will be that figure.

SMP never has to be paid back but if your company offers you company maternity pay then your advice above may apply.

Stef AF hasnt got me but i was joking saying I was outrunning her this month and now ive got a bfn on a 25? test(not sure what that means but someone mentioned 10?test) I just wish shed rear her head.

Anovulatory means no ov. One gets AF anyway though.
It's OK to get them once in a while, but if it is often, then you'll have problems getting pregnant. No ov = no egg = no baby.

I ov sometimes way late too. Probably some sort of hormone imbalance.
It's been like that since the beginning for me:(

I have been having sore nipples for the last 6 days now, don;t know why. It started on days 18 of my cycle, i think i ov on day 17. Does anyone know why?

It could be pms symptom as I sometimes get them, but could also be pg symptom:).

A little too early I'd say, as you only ov'd on 17th. But you never know. It takes something like 6 - 10 days for the egg to implant and produce hcg hormones, so don't test now!

Hello all

sorry that lots of people seem to be struggling at the moment.

Well, I did another internet cheapie yesterday morning and there was definitely a feint line there...so I did a FR with the same urine - not quite a BFP but more than a tlp! Then I was like 'aarrggh, do I wake up dh to tell him?' but I didn't, went off to work smiling and then did another test in the evening and it was a stronger line again!!

We're cautiously excited as it's really still very early days - only 15dpo today, adn don't want to count our chickens yet, but we feel like barrier number one is crossed and we know we can actually conceive!! Yay!

I feel bad in a way as it's only our second month and some of you ladies have been trying much longer, but then I realised me not getting a bfp wouldn't make you all get one and I thought you'd want to know.

I am going to lay a bit low for a while, I know my tendancy to obsess and don't want to, so I'll join the less than 12 weeks thread in a couple of weeks if all is still ok. I'll obviously be lurking though...

eta: those who know me from another thread please don't say anything or even hint yet!
