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!

Farfalla sorry about AF but glad your cycle is on track. I am right with you, looking forward to our May babies. Just think: maternity leave starting around Easter, a nice few weeks off preparing for minicola and Farfallette, then a serene, pain free birth and two* gorgeous babes ready for May BH weekend!
*One each, unless you want twins

Love the names Squeak and Impykins!

Cake - symptoms sound spot on - looking forward to hearing to hearing of your BFP at the weekend!

I have to say that I do like Impykins!!

Congratulations mrsb. Blimey step away for a few hours and another bfp appears!

Thanks for the reassurances hopefully I am pregnant and not ill/insane!

I love squeak brilliant!

ickleimp? impykins? It's a Friday, I give up!

I'm struggling here. Hard day at work.

mini imps7 - imps7 and a half?

Well I need to liaise with little baby Fedex on confirmation date, Dream. I am pretty sure I am 1 DPO today (despite subtle temp rise) so AF is due in 11 days or so. Think I will do my usual start-testing-at-10-DPO-regime - if I am all nonchalent and casual about POAS I don't tend to get too disappointed when it's a BFN.

NOT that I'm getting a BFN this time - oh no - that BFP WILL BE MINE!!! (possibly)

One last thing!! (Apologies for the back-to-back posts! Clearly I have withdrawal from abstaining from MN for several whole HOURS this morning!)

At the start of this week my gums became totally sore and bleedy (sorry if tmi!) but now I've discovered that this is apparently a bona fide pregnancy symptom! (And in no way related to the fact that I forgot to floss while on holiday last week!)

at Beast Baby!!

When I was born I was so tiny and wrinkly my loving caring father saw fit to call me Yoda for the first few weeks!

Thanks Dream!! You're absolutely right.

Back on track, thanks! Squeak is very cute (in a purely non-rattie sense).

My friend felt so sick with DC2 that the baby was referred to throughout her pregnancy as the Beast Baby

Boud to be loadds of posts, 5 BFP's to revel in. And lots more to come

When are you confirming imps ? set a day yet?

at squeak!! A bit worried by the rattie connections though? Love the idea of keeping it as a sound! Wish it could be giggle, but that's just odd I guess. I'm completely useless at coming up with ideas today!

alsl love squeak- thats'll be your baby's name scream

LOVE "Squeak"

Scream Please stop worrying. In your condition, I mean, really. You know you are an early tester, therefore you must be a patient waiter. . The time will pass. Your dark line will arrive. Now, put your feet up and give baby faster a healthy snack Any better?!

cake, i've been weeing way more than usual for a week. Plus in night (but DD has been up anyway). Couldn't put my finger on whether it was drinking more or what. It was pregnancy. As it shall be for you, and was for me before with DD!!! I have also been nauseous and made DH stop car in a hurry once (but put it down to being in the back on a country lane) and couldn't finish a meal or i knew i'd hurl. Preggers, cake, preggers you are

mini scream = squeak?

Love it Imps!!!

You sound completely updiffed Cake!! Cannot wait for your confirmation!!! Feeling sick? Mild cramps? Lots of toilet breaks? Definitely preggers!!

Jaggy is it wrong that I'm a little of your achey boobs?! I've been poking mine so much you'd think they'd be achey even if it's for no other reason than the constant prodding! No throwing up today either. Just cramps!! and some dizziness but I had that last month and that didn't turn out so well

I'm sorry ladies - please feel free to give me a NO BROOKING kick up the butt!

JUST GET STUCK IN AND STAY THERE!!!

I love the idea of mini-Cake being called Cakelet! Not so keen on the idea of a name related to the word "scream" for any potential offspring of my own! Bit too worried it might turn out to be true!

Am freaking out slightly at the amount of cramps I'm having at the moment. I know that lots of really pregnant people have cramps at the start, and it always seemed perfectly logical to me (when it wasn't happening to me!) now I'm just terrified that the pee stick lines aren't going to get any darker and AF will turn up next week like nothing happened! ARGH!!

No brooking, no brooking, no brooking, no brooking... Right. Got to get this under control. It's a waiting game now (as always!). Just got to keep my cool, and brook no argument!!! (I'm starting to understand why you wise ladies waited until AF was late to test!)

My positive visualisation is now of me wearing effortlessly stylish maternity clothes, wafting about the vomitorium caringly mopping the brows of my fellow preggos, and serenely awaiting my pain-free birth!

After step one - "JUST FERTILISE!" can we add a step 2? "JUST STICK!" perhaps? Would appreciate suggestions, that doesn't have the right ring to it!

I have seen quite a few cheapies over the months with not even a sniff of a line, so i am fairly convinced. ish. sort of.

CBD to follow, scheduled for Monday or Sunday if I feel brave.

My boobs are absolutely aching today though! I actually took my bra off last night as I was so uncomfortable.

5 weeks! How exciting you'll be showing in no time dream

Weeeeelllll I have been feeling sick and I've had mild cramps all week plus I am weeing far more than a normal person but I'm undecided as to whether that is illness related or not as it is really too early to be feeling symptoms like that so maybe im just poorly Hasn't stopped me considering pushchairs though

oh, yes what symptoms have you got cake?

I think i'm 5 weeks. That would be why BFP line nice and dark. Just a matter of time for yours to be just the same scream (and jaggy). This does not make you any less preggers!!!!
