A few things.

1) TIP is officially the cutest board. I had my suspicions, but after matching up some faces last night, it is official.

2) My period is MIA. BFN last night, but I'm pretty sure as soon as I hit "post" my period will show up. Blah.

3) I'm not doing shiit at work today. I've been running around all week and this is the first time I've actually sat in my chair for more than 5 minutes. Plus it's Thursday, so almost Friday, and I have a bag of Swedish Fish in my drawer.

  • I have my fingers crossed that you get the BFP!
    This is my siggy.

     Sorry to butt in but can I ask what kind of test you used? For me, the digital ones always take longer to get a positive than the two line tests. I just got my BFP last week and got a First Response Early Result positive days before I got the digital one. With DD, it was a full week before the digital came up positive. You might want to try a different kind of test - I hope you get your BFP! Good luck!

    I used the ones that come with my ovulation strips.  These  If I don't see some action down there in a few days I'm going to go for a pricier test.

    This ALWAYS happens to me. As soon as I break down and tell someone, here it comes. Of course, my reaction is more of a "phew" than a "darn." I hope you get your BFP.

     

    I am going on vacation tomorrow!! Who wants to help me pack?

    Well, I hope it doesn't come and you get your BFP soon!

    Ovulation tests can be used as a pregnancy test too but it takes a little longer (at least for me it did). I got a positive opk Monday night at 14dpo. Apparently the hormone HPTs and OPKs test for have something in common that OPKs pick up. HPTs pick up something that is present only in the pregnancy hormone so it just detects pregnancy. I read that somewhere and thought it was interesting so I did my own test of it.

    Thanks! It is an actual pregnancy test. They come with the ovulation strips. I'm just not sure how effective they are since they are dirt cheap, kwim?

    Sorta.  I'm moving some clothes and dog accessories over to BF's new house.  Oh, and my Gators garden flag, hee hee.  

    ETA:  And by dog accessories, I mean dog beds, food bins, and the like.  They don't own any purses or jewelry.

    This is my siggy.
  • I use those exact OPKs!  I can't testify for the effectiveness of the pregnancy tests, but the OPKs work great as long as the directions are followed correctly.  It's a bit of a pain to have to let the urine come to room temp and wait exactly 5 minutes to look at the results, but I got my positive OPK exactly when I thought I should.  Best of luck to you!

  • Helloooooo!

    I have been so busy. At work, in life, whatever. Busy.

    I hope you get your BFP Motz. I'll start adding you to my yoga intentions - it worked for HS and Alexis! I'd like to be 3 for 3 though, so you better make it happen quick.  ;)

    Oh, I knew you were using the HPT, not the OPK, I was just talking about something I found interesting. But I'm a huge nerd, so most people wouldn't find it interesting.
