Oh just saw your post confused - bless! It's still mega early so don't panic yet. You're not out yet!!

Mummyme87 · 14/02/2017 06:17

Early days confused at least you're not spotting yet...keeping my FX

buzzmoon · 14/02/2017 06:18

Oh confused-! Try again tomorrow?? Come on jupiter, this is it!

HeyJupiter · 14/02/2017 06:41

A very snowy white BFN this end too!! :( Bit gutted but also its good to start letting go of the possibility for this month. It is still early so we shall see!

Sorry for you too confused but also good sign there has been no spotting!!

Happy Valentines Day you lovely lot x

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/02/2017 06:48

Sorry to hear about the BFNs guys.

Happy valentines all! Xx

buzzmoon · 14/02/2017 07:16

It's still early you're not out! What's everyone doing for valentines? I'm not really into it, so not doing much! Going round my mums for tea :)

confusedat23 · 14/02/2017 07:20

Sorry ladies didnt mean to start the day on a downer!!

Jupiter I am sorry you are down love! Like that website said only is we implanted at 6dpo would it detect and thats if we were 48 hour doublers and not 72 (which is also totally normal!)...

Think of it this way we will know by Friday and if its AF we can give it our all for the next month!!

Not showing up well.. looks almost as dark as control line IRL

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/02/2017 07:25

Another go

HeyJupiter · 14/02/2017 07:31

You're right confused, we will know soon. Not worth ruining next few days fretting about it. If not this month then onto the next! I've vowed that I'm going to get back into the dieting/exercise this month to give me another focus alongside TTC. Always helps lift up my mood too. Roll on next week!

buzz - we're off to a hotel in Suffolk over the weekend (sunday and monday nights) as a belated valentines celebration. Can't wait to get away for a bit.

Grumpy that looks very good! Maybe worth doing another one this afternoon to see if even darker. Either way imagine O day is probably tomorrow? Exciting!!

DancingUnicorn · 14/02/2017 07:31

Sorry confused and Jupiter! But as others have said it's still really early! There's time yet! Keeping my fx for you both!

Mummyme87 · 14/02/2017 07:33

Today's looks darker than Sundays but not positive. Have you checked anything else? CM, BBT, cervix position? Anything else that could give you a clue

CD18, 4DPO. So I'm still temping and my BBT is going up post ovulation (please continue). My right boob isn't sore but tender. Nothing else to report.

I have packed DS off to childminder with OH, having a quick cuppa and internet browse in bed before getting up to shower l. I have a study day today. Usually finishes early so am going to make OH a chocolate cake in the shape of a ❤️ later

Mummyme87 · 14/02/2017 07:34

Sorry grumpy I was meant to tag you at the top of my post

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/02/2017 07:34

Thanks jupiter I'm going to take one of the little plastic cups and an OPK to work - seems very silly but I won't get home till 9:30pm tonight!

Mummyme87 · 14/02/2017 07:35

This is my chart up to today. Irritatingly I can't see how to look at my chart for the whole month on one page

Getting Ready for Baby Challenge-Pt3
TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/02/2017 07:35

Thanks mummy yes lots of EWCM and open cervix .. not temping

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/02/2017 07:39

Hmm just checked and today cervix is firmer higher and less open than Sunday

confusedat23 · 14/02/2017 08:18

Grumpy They look about as dark as I was getting from those OPKs but I thought it was just me and my messed up cycle! Have you tried putting them ontop of each otherto see if you can make a surge? As much as the whole set seems really good for what you pay i might change back to the One Step ones for next month and just buy a better pee pot to use at work!

Also about CP mine seems to be different all the time! I have stopped checking it now as I have read that it introduces too much bacteria into that area.

Yay for Study Day Mummy!!

Jupiter Do you still want to test on Thursday? I am happy to if you are... But maybe we should hold off? Although I know I will fail epically at waiting until Monday!

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/02/2017 08:21

Thanks confused so when did you count ovulation? If this afternoons is darker I'm counting this as a surge (last nights was almost paper white)

HeyJupiter · 14/02/2017 08:30

Yes I reckon we should test Thursday confused if you're up for it :) AF is probably due fri/sat so should give definite result if test then. I'm already planning next month haha. Onwards and upwards!

confusedat23 · 14/02/2017 09:25

Well luckily enough i had a few one step ones left over from my batch before so i used one of those and got a pretty much positive (missed it slightly) on the saturday night.

Ok Jupiter i'll rack another FRER up for Thursday morning =)... are you having anymore symptoms today?... also still don't count yourself out! On that chart it shpws that it may even take as long as sunday to show up yet!... and Dancing didn't get her BFPuntil late!

OP posts:
MrsC2017 · 14/02/2017 09:38

Morning girls! Happy valentines everyone!!
jupiter and confused hold tight girls, it's early days! I'll keep everything crossed for Thursday for you guys! 😘 😘
grumpy you are getting close, I would be getting busy tonight!
I'm starting FW today.... Couldn't be less enthused if I tried, hopefully valentines will get me in the mood later although I may just leave dtd til Thursday!
mummy a cuppa in bed sounds like bliss!
My smoothie is staring at me on the desk....need to force myself to drink it, it's not as appetising as I have upped the greens! My ovaries should be singing with all this nutrition!
Got DH a cookbook for v day.... Dropping hints 😂

Redpony1 · 14/02/2017 10:09

Happy Valentines day!

Confused & Jupiter it's early days.... Fingers crossed for BFP later in the week!!

Grumpy have you been DTD lots anyway?

MrsC my smoothies have been tasting increasingly 'green' too. Errghhhh

Got DP an ice cream making machine for Vday, it's a double one, makes 2litres, in 2 separate freezer bowl things so we can have different flavours Grin He is an ice cream addict & loves it!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 14/02/2017 10:12

Red we did yesterday and Friday but not sat or sun! Hope to get some tonight!
