    How are you feeling today Daisie? Hope your cold has eased off too Betty.

    Tiny bit of spotting and cramping for me today so suspect I won't need the tests I ordered, boo.

    Oh, thanks for asking. Tbh pretty bad. Cramps are still here though the spotting went away as quickly as it appeared. For all intents and purposes I feel like I have a bad period - really awful cramps, bloated, and grumpy....but no period! Been scaring myself silly consulting dr google :o think I will just wait and see what happens. Af not due for another week yet. Other things I have read suggest it could be a very early pregnancy symptom but I am really trying not to even entertain that thought...I know logically that it isn't, and it just is too upsetting to get hopes up :o:(

    Hugs for spotting and cramping, sorry if this wasn't your month :(

    How is everyone else? I really hope we get some more January BFPs! Only 11 days left, come on girls! :D
  • Thinking of you Daisiegg and hoping there is a good reason for your body doing what it's doing. Fx.

    I'm another one that is looking forward to being able to take a step back from work once pregnant! Bring on mat leave - but just gotta get pg first!
    I'm really enjoying this month and finding it interesting monitoring my body so closely - looks like I have a naturally low BBT which explains why I'm normally so cold! Anyone else get temps as low as 35 degrees C before Ov? I think it is in the normal range but at the lower end?

    C'mon January BFPs - no chance I'll get one this month but got everything crossed for those still in with a chance.

    Hi

    I can identify with those fed up with their jobs and who just want to go on maternity leave- but I decided not to put my life on hold and actually started a new job on 6th January- and it has definitely kept me busy so I'm not always sat there thinking 'oh I wish I was going on maternity leave'!!

    Hope everyones Monday hasn't been too bad.x

    Fingers crossed for you daisiegg!

    I hope everyone else is ok, really hoping we get some more BFPs.

    I got a positive OPK today, really late in comparison to usual but at least I've got one!

    I'm also a teacher who wants a break from work!

    Thanks for the lists KellyKins



    I can identify with all the work stresses, today has been the horrendous. I've decided I'm off to bed in a bit as I've had enough.


    Hugs to anyone who needs it x

    CD11 here, been docs as been a while since MC, thought I'd see what if anything can be done.

    Well IVF is out as it's not available free as I'm over 40 .

    She has told me to go back for a cd2 blood test as my levels were low before and could be entering early menopause :-(

    But was a great doctor , who says let's get that done and if she can help further she will.... So need to stay optimistic I guess .....

    When I temped, I was shocked how low my temps were - yes, regularly close to 35. Even after ov, they only jumped to about 36.4! I scared myself doing lots of googling but then I mentioned something to my mum who said she and my sister both have really low temps. I guess some people just do. I think it can be a sign of a slow metabolism though (finally, an excuse for why I am fat! :rotfl:)

    Good for you - I do think you are approaching all of this in such the right way, I am envious of your level headedness as I have none! :o

    Funny a lot of us are teachers! We are expecting the dreaded Ofsted any day now. Over 5 years since the last one. As you can imagine, tension running pretty high!

    I got home from work about 5pm, had a bath and then laid in bed until hubby got home! :o I have about 90 mock exams to mark too so that was not the best use of my time...

    Oh don't tell me things like that! I am trying so hard not to think it could be that. I have a feeling deep inside that it definitely isn't but it is still hard not to get hopes up.

    Oh, I am sorry :( I don't think we would quality for free IVF either if it came for that as hubby is old, and he already has a child. My cousin is an embryologist so I keep joking that she could do us for free, but I don't think it works like that! :rotfl:

    Glad you have a good do for though and hope you get some help xx
