Grumpy I am same as jupiter so 9/10dpo atm...

Jupiter where did you find that? It seems really useful!... ok i'll get my FRER for the morning... babydust for you!... (although i know its a waste i'm still a bit excited! Lol)

Mummy yeah tbh it seems worth it as it would be such a pain for you to do it yourself!!

Mummyme87 · 13/02/2017 17:53

Eeeek very excited for you confused and jupiter love a bit of poas action. Missing it whilst in between OPK and AF/BFP. FX 🤞🏻

buzzmoon · 13/02/2017 18:07

Excited for you confused and jupiter 🙌🏽

Oysterbabe · 13/02/2017 18:14

I too love a piss party. Fingers crossed for you!
I've had a terrible headache today which I remembered happened last time I stopped the pill. Not helped by it being a fast day. Looking forward to DH getting home so I can eat something!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/02/2017 18:18

Fingers crossed for you both confused and Jupiter! Will be avidly refreshing this thread in the morning!!

That chart is very complicated - when I get my ov date I'll have a closer look at it as I bet it's useful for deciding when to test. Too bad we can't know implantation date (apart from potential bleeding I guess but I think that's rarer than it's made out to be on here...?)

DH and I going for early valentines meal spontaneously tonight as it won't be busy and then I can go to yoga tomorrow (because, priorities) Grin also we have been together nearly 7 years so it's all very relaxed .. maybe I'll get a second shot at getting fertilised later Wink

MrsC2017 · 13/02/2017 18:26

Eeek, baby dust to u guys jupiter and confused very exciting!!
I'm had actually forgotten its valentines u til DS brought home cards from school!! We have been together for ten years so I think we're done with valentines although it's our first year marred do might get him a hubby card for the novelty factor!! Enjoy the dinner grumpy!!

HeyJupiter · 13/02/2017 18:34

Thank you everyone!! Will only be 10DPO so a bit early really... but will give it a go. It might take away some of the suspense for later in the week.

Enjoy your meal grumpy, how lovely!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/02/2017 18:39

Mrs I was thinking to get DH a really OTT cringe "to my husband" card as it's also our first year married on v day but I guess I won't have time now

DancingUnicorn · 13/02/2017 19:06

Good luck in the morning confused and Jupiter! Ee!!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 13/02/2017 19:09

Good luck for tomorrow testers! But don't be disappointed if it's negative - still early days yet!

Work today has been horrendous. Everything I prepped meticulously to be done while on hols has just sat there the whole time so I ended up having to do it all anyway! So bloody annoying. I was meant to go to an event tonight and had to miss it as a result! 😡

Can't wait to get out of there on mat leave!

HeyJupiter · 13/02/2017 19:57

Oh parsnips I totally understand. I'm having major work hatred at the moment too which makes maternity leave extra appealing. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

HeyJupiter · 13/02/2017 20:11

It is so nice having a virtual handhold! I've got a good feeling for you this month but if not then hopefully we can cycle buddy in March too :) Sending lots of positivity your way for tomorrow morning (we're both clearly mad though for testing at 10DPO haha)

buzzmoon · 13/02/2017 20:45

Eek! Fingers crossed girls! I'm really nervous and excited for you!! Blowing baby dust your way!!

parsnips sorry work is shit, the first week back always sucks!

buzzmoon · 13/02/2017 20:47

I've been out to carluccios again with my friend :) turns out she was in the 2ww too but we didn't get a chance to see each other to catch up. Feel very glad to have you guys who helped me through the symptoms and the madness!

Im just trying to be realistic Jupiter... which i am rubbish at to be honest! Lol... although i know even if it is a negative I won't believe it until AF is here! Lol... i have everything crossed for you hun!... and if not we will just be cycle buddies next month too!

Oh wow Buzz you have a cycle twin in real life too then?

OP posts:
HbH04 · 13/02/2017 21:13

Fingers crossed confused & jupiter

My alarm is set for 5.50am... So will be up and doing to celebrate or commiserate!!

HeyJupiter · 13/02/2017 21:18

You're all so bloody lovely and supportive! Thank you Flowers

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/02/2017 21:19

Stupid OPK still negative. Wonder if I could have missed a surge as I didn't do one this morning. Obviously have convinced myself I'm not ovulating! Argh .. other signs are there.. had left pelvic pain yesterday real or imagined and EWCM.

CD15 tomorrow come on little eggy!

Good luck in the morning to the POAS-ers xx

Oysterbabe · 13/02/2017 21:29

Is it lighter Grumpy?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/02/2017 21:33

Yeah it's lighter than 24hrs ago (and a lot lighter than 36 hours ago but that (darkest) was morning so I'm not really counting it) also tonight my wee was very diluted .. not sure what to make of it all really.

buzzmoon · 13/02/2017 21:56

Yeah confused, she's cd2 I'm cd4, but she's recently been diagnosed with pcos 😔 Having her second blood test tomorrow to confirm. So it's so bloody shit and her TTC future is so unknown. She might only ovulate like every 6 months - we used to talk about babies all the time! But now I dont want to talk loads cause it's such a shit time :( feel so lucky

Seven0fNine · 13/02/2017 22:34

Never been more excited for any one to do a wee ever as I am for confused and Jupiter

Af still lurking lightly... Hopefully will be gone tomorrow. DH said when he found out about af "but why aren't you pregnant yet?" think we both just expected it would just happen within a couple of months. Ahh well, gonna give it a good try this month :)

BFN this morning ladies... maybe if i really squint and hold the test at an angle that tries to break my arm i might find a line 😂 The only good thing is I am normally spotting by now which i'm not currently doing yet...

Holding out hope and babydust for you Jupiter!!
