Conception

When's the best time to get pregnant? Use our interactive ovulation calculator to work out when you're most fertile and most likely to conceive.

We are all jolly well going to get preggers this month in a nonchalant non-psycho way, and hang onto it, and there will be no brooking of any argument whatsoever!

Welcome across Rat Smackers! Glad you found the place okay. This is THE MONTH when we get those deceitful pee sticks to own up to the BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS - we are all already preggers! After all; positive people get positive pee sticks!

I hope you all like what I've done with our new home

You'll note the updated title, courtesy of farfalla. Various healthy snacks have been set out on the coffee tables, to ensure our bumps are receiving the appropriate nutritional balance

Also, my personal favourite adjustment, you'll note the strategically positioned peephole, right here, providing us with a sneaky preview of the utopian delights awaiting us in the NO BROOKING vomitorium ante-natal thread.

So let's get to it preggos! Remember: see a rat - smack it!

Worst thing is having a smart phone and popping on here all the time!! 10 days...not long but somehow an eternity!

dreamfeeder · 31/07/2011 17:20

scarlet cue more spooky music, that is EXACTLY the same as me. before DD always a 28 day cycle. My last (which was my first 'proper' post-baby cycle) was 34 days, AF (on a 28 day cycle) due august 15th, we SHALL announce our BFP's together!!!!!! (also with little and generic )

Have, you are a mere 10 days from confirming your BFP, not long at all Smile

Hello dreaming.

DH knows I post too. It enrages him even more. I am a bit hooked though, I can see why. He's taking DD round garden now, and I'm squeezing in a quick post while making DD's tea!!!!

havealittlefaithbaby · 31/07/2011 15:25

Hello dreaming! Welcome.

dreamingofanallotment · 31/07/2011 11:35

Hello ladies, can I join you please?! I'm in need of some positivity! (hands round chocolate brownies and percy pigs carrot sticks and strawberries)
I've been lurking for a couple of days - me and hubby are TTC #1. Period is due next Thursday (which also happens to be my birthday....oh joy!) but tested this morning and got a BFN. Have a feeling it may be a little early, even for a first response test!!
Have decided to test again on Weds, and then if it's still neg, just wait and see if period arrives. And if it does, it's just day 1 of the month I will be pregnant! Positivethoughtspositivethoughtspositivethoughtspositivethoughts....

havealittlefaithbaby · 31/07/2011 11:12

Ah DH here knows I'm a poster. Thinks it's nice I have an outlet and (because I've been here so long) can advise some people). He has requested that I don't quote him directly though!

scarletfingernail · 31/07/2011 10:48

Hmmm when will I be confirming?
Well, I know I haven't ov'd yet as CBFM has only just turned to high and from memory I think it shows high for a few days before turning up to peak so I'm not really expecting to ov until CD 17-18ish. My cycles are usually 26-28 days but last month was 34. Based on that the very earliest I will be testing is in another fortnight so I will be getting my BFP sometime during wc 15th August.

havealittlefaithbaby · 31/07/2011 10:45

Week on Wednesday! August 10th...sounds like forever away!

dreamfeeder · 31/07/2011 10:31

when will you be confirming have?

havealittlefaithbaby · 31/07/2011 10:29

Yeah imps must only be a few days away. Hooray for August!

dreamfeeder · 31/07/2011 10:28

ninja may well be confirming today- I think when AF doesn't arrive today, she'll let us know today or tmw latest of her BFP?!?

imps is def sometime soon.... but think she's away for weekend and not back til tues

I think i will be confirming sometime mid august. last cycle was 34 days... so AF would be due 18th august so will test for my bfp if when no AF by the weekend after which would be 20-21st. Ages away...

How bad is it that i'd now like a smart phone to go online to do this on MN and avoid the ever-increasing wrath of DH who can't stand mn!!!! ??? he rages now when he sees me on it. not helping th swi but i'm hooked! I can't help myself!!

GenericDietCola · 31/07/2011 10:17

I think I ov'd on Friday, so I'm now switching to pineapple juice

dreamfeeder · 31/07/2011 10:02

lol generic i know just what you mean. scarlett, you're ahead of the game compared to me, I STILL don't think I've ov. And I'm on cd 16... Am busy rat-hunting daily with a BIG bat to smack it anyway.

Sorry, I meant our happy quadruplet (?!) will be confirming after the 2ww Smile little, generic, scarlett and i, bring on our synchronised BFP's!!!!!!

and have, you are totally knocked up, well done Grin

maybe, really sad to hear your bfn.... hope devon is good anyway.

GenericDietCola · 31/07/2011 09:55

Quite have forgot to say tiredness + sore boobs definitely = baby - well done!

GenericDietCola · 31/07/2011 09:54

Maybe so sorry about your BFN and illness. Maybe a holiday is just what you need to get better and everything.

Have sorry to hear your granny isn't doing too well but it's nice she has a caring granddaughter to look after her.

Scarlet I didn't forget you was insanely jealous you were SWI and guaranteeing your BFP

havealittlefaithbaby · 31/07/2011 09:53

Have a lovely holiday maybe, hope it's a lovely trip and just allows you to recooop and get over this stupid illness.
I feel much better after 10 hours kip. Exhaustion + tender breasts = littlefaithbaby, yes?!

scarletfingernail · 31/07/2011 09:29

Sad Sorry to hear that Maybe I hope you're feeling much better soon and manage to have a great holiday.

Biscuitsandtea · 31/07/2011 09:25

Maybe sorry about the bfn Sad

Have a fabulous holiday - a break will be great (although hope AF doesn't rock up and spoil it).

maybebabyR · 31/07/2011 09:22

Just popping in quickly, as am off on holibobs soon. Sorry for lack of posting yesterday, was indeed at the wedding. I decided to do a test when I got in last night, BFN, so I think I am definitely not pregnant, my period has just gone AWOL. Feeling terrible this morning, cannot breathe without coughing.

Will try and catch up with everyone when I am down in Devon.

scarletfingernail · 31/07/2011 09:03

Blimey, 2 days off from the thread and my cycle buddies have forgotten all about me already! Count me in for the synchronised BFP too Generic, Little and Dream I'm still in the running!

CD14 here and CBFM has just gone up a notch from low to high. Didn't realise I ovulate so late in my cycle (so that's where I've been going wrong) so I will be spending the next few days hunting for rats.

As well as telling AF I'm brooking no argument, I told DH last night as well. So he is fully aware of what is expected of him

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 22:35

shame about your granny have, but good money restraint, you'll need it for your new arrival seeing as you're blindingly obviously pg Smile

havealittlefaithbaby · 30/07/2011 22:23

....but seemed to get better during the day. Decided to get her down the opticians because she's struggling to see and then to docs about her memory trouble.
My boobs really are sore today, excellent news!
Loving all the spooky coincidences ladies!

havealittlefaithbaby · 30/07/2011 22:20

....but seemed to get better during the day. Decided to get her down the opt

havealittlefaithbaby · 30/07/2011 22:19

Hello all. I am home. I am exhausted!
hangover morning sickness cleared by lunch. D'you know I didn't spend any money. I didn't really need anything and I spent a small fortune last night so it was good really.
Granny definitely declining, her memory is getting worse. I assessed her (that's what I do as part of my job!) and she wasn't great

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 22:17

also little, just looked at you profile, i'm also 28 and wolf hall is next for me to read. Our happy, swi, non-charting, synchronised trio will wow this thread after the 2ww Grin
