    Hi all and welcome to everyone who's joined recently. Hugs to those with bfn's or AF.

    On my phone so won't comment on everything but wanted to guess 4 BFP for February.

    Also I won't be ov on valentines day but as I *think* I ov'd mid last week I am holding these romantic notions of giving my DH a BFP for his valentines present! Fingers crossed!

    Awwww lovely idea! I'm due AF on 26th Feb and our first wedding anniversary is on 1st March so I'd love that as an anniversary surprise! But it's our first month TTC so I know it's not that likely.

    CD5 today and right on the very last spotting of my period, so should be all finished up tomorrow. Excited to get trying!

    I did try to lure my husband to BD just there but he's busy working on his laptop and says he's too tired. Since AF hasn't quite finished we probably don't need to for TTC but I was just in the mood. He best be up for it during the crucial fertile week :p

    I'll guess 3 BFPs for February, hoping there'll be some love spread on valentines day! I'd love to get my BFP for that, it's the anniversary of when we first started going out :-) I've certainly tried, BD'ing most days in the fertile period!

    Fingers crossed saver-j you do the same!

    Kelly could you please update me to CD1 please?

    Onto cycle 6 we go then! I honestly thought I'd be pg by now. How can my friend be on the Pill for 3 years longer than me, come off it and get pregnant after 4 months of being off it after BDing once!

    My other friend is due tomorrow. I'm buying the baby a bib that says "these fools put my cape on backwards!" :rotfl:

  • *hugs* Lulu, the world of TTC is unfair and unjust. I am feeling completely rotten today, my work is evil, and I'm exhausted. OH and I did NOT have a good talk last night, in actual fact, we had a fight, but ooh sorted it out :-) so we're not fighting anymore, but we didn't get as much sleep as we should have! And now I'm sat at my desk not wanting to do any work, just wanting to quietly go to sleep...

    Hi all

    Just checking in to let kellykins know that we have decided not to TTC #2 - we are now considering adoption.

    Anyway - if anyone would like to buy my (old style) CBFM and 41 test sticks, I have listed it on Ebay!: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLEARBLUE-DIGITAL-FERTILITY-MONITOR-plus-41-TEST-STICKS-/121560888694? (hope it's ok to post this link?)

    Good luck to all - I'm off to find an adoption thread :/

    Oh dotty, men eh! Good to hear you're not fighting anymore but it still makes you feel rubbish :( I feel the same, but talking to OH is so difficult..

    All the best with the adoption lilian! Please keep us updated with the process :)
    I would buy your CBFM if I had the money! House saving has skinted me out.

    I'm on day six of AF! Last time I do ANY form of chemical contraception. OH is desperate to BD, truly frustrating! I've gone from being overjoyed that it has finally showed up after six years to damning it and wanting it to go again!

    AF for me is usually 6-7 days.
