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 jolly well going to get preggers this month and keep it with some Rat smacking, pom pom waving, baking, visualising and brooking no argument. JUST FERTILISE!

Glad the pee sticks are behaving jaggy and scream

biscuits and imps hope you both have lovely weekends away! Hope you have a good time on the hen do babySade

I am staying strong and not testing just yet - sorry to be boring! I am a bit scared of BFNs, usually I have a little cry over my temp dip and then I'm prepared for AF but this month as I haven't been charting it is all a surprise! But of course that's all hypothetical as I AM pregnant Grin

BabySade · 20/08/2011 08:36

Congratulations!!!!!!!! Jaggy and Scream am so chuffed Grin
This is a flying visit for me, have just got home & am off to bed. Have had a rubbish few nights at work, so much so I didn't even get chance to check in with you guys yesterday. Can only sleep for 4 hours as am at a hen do later that I've organised. So not looking forward to it. Catch you Preggos later

Ooh, sorry, totally missed this morning's posts - very pleased the internet cheapy is playing ball Scream! Now, Squeak, just get stuck in and stay there. Do you here me?

Have a lovely trip to London Biscuits!

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 20/08/2011 07:55

Ooooo Biscuits you're coming over to my neck of the woods!?! Lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time!

Imps7 · 20/08/2011 07:52

Morning rat smackers!

Temp is much higher this morning so I think I did OV on Thursday but just had a slow rising temp.

I'm going to be offline until Monday as am away for the weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a new thread going by then!

Good luck with the testing Cake anyone who's testing!

Biscuitsandtea · 20/08/2011 07:49

Ah cross post Scream

Good job brooking for you and Squeak too!

GrinGrin

Good luck to anyone else if they might decide to test today.... (not looking at Cake or anything....)

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 20/08/2011 07:49

p.s. LOVE "Spike"!

Biscuitsandtea · 20/08/2011 07:47

Good job on the brooking Jaggy and Spike/Thistlet.

Is Scream testing again thus morning?

We're off to London today on the train - very exciting (for DS and tiring for us...) Smile

Hope everyone else is good Smile

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 20/08/2011 07:46

Morning preggos! For all of you in the first week of your pregnancies I hope you're looking forward to getting down to your last set of SWI for over a year! After this month it'll only be SFF (in between sessions with your glittery buckets of course!)

This morning an internet cheapy actually gave me a faint line that's visible without having to squint for ten mins under a high powered spotlight on a brilliant white background! So exciting!! I think the Internet cheapies might be coming round! I hope little Squeak is putting in some serious time brooking no argument!

Cake is there any chance you decided to confirm early? I'm not suggesting
anything, of course not, ahem, just asking!

Congrats to Jaggy on yet another example of superb pee stick mastery. Congrats to anyone else who has also re-confirmed today!

jaggythistle · 20/08/2011 07:04

when exactly am i going to say thistlet anyway? only in my head while posting!

6 tests down 19 to go. Blush

maybe after the CBD tomorrow (or Monday if i chicken out) i can give it a rest. line still there though.
morning all! off to work soon. :(

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 21:51

spike is PERFECT, love it!! had't tried saying thistlet, lol

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 21:50

thistlet is too hard to say with baby brain.

maybe a one syllable option. spike?

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 21:44

thistlet!?

SO upduffed jaggy, stop trying to catch your cheapies out- they know you're Brooking No Argument Grin

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 21:33

hello, what are you going to call mine then?

yeah, Sunday at earliest for digital test.

ok i confess i got yet another cheapie out after work. my pale pink line appeared quite fast. these cheapies can't take all the brooking no argument. hope the other 20 are of a similar nature to the first 5...

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 21:00

Ha! Mine can be nightmare, i'm sure it will be if my last pregnancy is anything to go by!!!!! 8 months of purgatory/pregnancy hell to look forward to!!!

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 20:52

Sorry I keep crossing posts with people talking about names! Doozer also sounds good for Jen of course!

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 20:49

I love Frazzle for Jen!! Doozer sounds perfect for Dream's little one perhaps? I'm embracing the Squeak as well for mine.

My Mum was round this afternoon, and she couldn't resist talking about names (although it's all purely hypothetical of course because it's waaaaaaaaaaay too early to even be thinking about anything that serious!) Luckily she agrees with most of the ones I like! So now I have support to coerce DH round to my way of thinking (miles and miles in the future when such talk becomes acceptable!)

GenericDietCola · 19/08/2011 20:45

Ooh yes, Maybe you've gone suspiciously quiet (she's probably SWI)

jenfraggle · 19/08/2011 20:44

I'm loving Doozer. I hope it lives up to the hard worker reputation and then I can start housework training nice and early :)

As a boring interesting sidenote, the lighthouse where they filmed the opening credits for Fraggle Rock is in my wedding photos

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 20:43

My step sister is the same as your sil generic!! I'm sure it'll be a walk in the park (!!!!!!!!)

When's Maybe confirming? she must be in the 2 ww soon as AF rocked up before her hol didn't it??

GenericDietCola · 19/08/2011 20:40

Oh sorry, xposts Dream - like any of these names, Jen?

GenericDietCola · 19/08/2011 20:40

Yup Jen you are on for a May baby too! Or Doozer as s/he shall henceforth be known.

Dream you will be fine - my sil had three with 18 month gaps between each and she said it was a doddle. 19 months will be great - your DD will be properly walking by then and able to help a bit, but young enough that she won't suffer with jealousy.

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 20:40

babyfrag? fraggie? frazzle? frazlet? any of them do jen?

jenfraggle · 19/08/2011 20:34

3 babies generic, I'm joining you remember? Now what can we call mine...

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 20:31

generic, i could murder a Magners pear cider. It's sat in the fridge taunting me.... But i will restrain myself in the first trimester..... and cross everything it goes ok... I think you're right though, how you're meant to look after twins and stay sane i don't know. I shall wait until I'm about 28 weeks and then begin panicking about how I shall look after 2 under 18 months! or will DD be 19 months. young anyway.

Where's jaggy? when's she doing this CBD? tmw or sun?
