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!

Welcome Yacka

generic ninja and farfalla your BFPs will be confirmed very soon. I just know it. There's no ways those pesky rats will escape this month.

farfalla when is AF not due? I thought we'd decided it was possible that you are upduffed already?

Well done Jaggy and Scream! All sounds pretty conclusive to me! Great show, rat smackers.

Scarlet Gary is my favourite too after being a Howard fan in TT's original incarnation

Ninja, Farfalla, Maybe, Yacka, Bartlet and others still awaiting our BFPs - let's follow Dream, Scarlet, Jaggy and Scream's example and just CONCEIVE this month. None of this trying to conceive - we ARE conceiving - so there!

glad of the welcome :) just got to wait till the 26th at the earliest to see if af gets me before i commence mission fertilise haha so im gonna try my amazon cheapies wen they arrive.....only 8 days to go till my bfp

imps I chart Fahrenheit rather than Celsius as it is easier for my tiny mind to identify the temp shift. What I will say is that I think my temp rises have all been slightly different and last month I randomly had a really slow temp rise but FF still put my cross hairs on the first temp which was only slightly higher than my pre ov temps. So basically yes, maybe but you'll probably have to see what your temp is tomorrow to be sure. Sorry, not vastly helpful!

hi yacka and welcome to the madness!

either not wither!

well done all of you confirmed preggos. This thread is bloody fantastic.
And generic I feel left out too! After 16 months of this I am bored of trying to conceive and now I'd just like to get on with the actual pregnancy bit. But I am still positive as its impossible to be anything else on here. I've been enjoying the visualisation bit this month, may have to try it some more....
Oh and I've never seen the west wing before wither.

(This post doesn't count as breaking my self-imposed morning ban because it's not 9 yet!)

Jaggy my internet cheapies are from ebay, but they're also supposed to be 10 mIU and they cost about the same as yours. Clearly I need to impress upon them the need to up their game!

I have to actually get some studying done today (otherwise I've just wasted all my annual leave on a bunch of exams that I will inevitably fail!) So if any of you see me back here this morning, before my lunch break, please remind me that I don't want to end up spending my own money on failed exams (rather than Firm money on successful exams!)

Scarlet if you are going down the FR route they cost £10.49 / £10.99 in Boots/Superdrug, but only £6.55 on Amazon... Plus Amazon are doing a free trial of their "Prime" membership which basically means you get next day delivery for free... I'm just saying. Ahem.

Jaggy big hugs!! I'll be checking in for your cheapies control tips later!

scream apparently get the £4 something 10mIU ones from Amazon, they seem to rock for about 20p each!!

Bartlet, i did the same when scarlet got her BFP and told DH who was really confused as to why i thought he'd care and that i was daring talk to him about the hated MN (hated by him, not me of course!!)

Maybe i'll buy a FR then scarlet but i would like some additional proof!!!

jaggy hooray!! you have proofed definitively that not all internet cheapies are dud. 4 BFP's is awesome Brooking No Argument

Scream I know exactly what you mean. I've managed to consume 7 portions of fruit and veg each day since my BFP. Don't know if I'll be able to achieve it until the end but I'm giving it a good go.

I think I'm going to buy some FR today. As it was a FR one that confirmed the BFP in the first place, that's the one I'm going to compare with.

hello newbie/lurker here ........
been lurking for a while and all the BFP here gives me hope.....not that good at pom poms yet but will keep in line with the rat smacking
bit of info bout me ttc#2 so far 13 months no luck, dd 20 months. just got all clear for clomid as diagnosed secondary infertility and pcos, without cysts just testosterone probs :( but been advised to wait and see if i get a natural period before comencing drugs........so im hopefully in last natural month of trying.
to as this thread states im already pregs just waiting for the sticks to agree :) speaking of poas....just ordered by first batch from amazon....sick of spendin my life savings on the expensive ones just for them to disagree with my positive mind :o
anyhoo!!!! congrats to jaggy and scream

Yay for Jaggy and her indomitable control over the internet cheapies! I need to take some notes from you and get mine fully on board this weekend. Any hints and tips?

at Bartlet. I did the same thing when Scarlet and then Dream announced. My DH was equally bemused as to why I was telling him this...

Bartlett DH's just don't get it do they?

Congrats on your 4th BFP *Jaggy

Having re-watched the A-Team last night my current celebrity crush of choice is Bradley Cooper, although Christian Bale and Taye Diggs are still top of my Allowed List...

Scarlet I totally agree with you that it's likely there won't be any progress on the CBD tomorrow which is why 4 more FRERs accidentally fell into my Amazon basket and are being delivered tomorrow therefore I will stick to trying to convince the internet cheapies over the next few days and leave the CBD until my period is due.

Mostly I will just be BROOKING NO ARGUMENT, and eating more vegetables in the next week than I have consumed over the last 28 years! It's bizarre, now that I actually think there just might be a teeny tiny little bean in there, trying to hang on, I desperately want to change my entire life to make sure that it has absolutely everything it needs! Seeing as there's nothing practical I can actually do at this stage (if this really is a stage!) then I will be consuming my body weight in vegetables, wholegrains, low fat proteins and many other things I usually can't stand!

Congratulations jaggy and scream! Wonderful news.

My DH thinks I'm a bit odd because I just had to share the news with him too. To be fair, "some people on the internet are pregnant, no, I don't know who they are" is a little strange.

I've convinced 4 internet cheapies now.

Did I mention the one I did before bed last night and din't tell you about It had a wee faint line too.

Yup, so not in a working mood and I am working the weekend too, monday/Tuesday off though.

I work with my friend who I chat to about all my Bfing/ttc stuff and she was literally jumping about for joy this morning

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Massive congratulations to both jaggy and scream

What an exciting few days for this thread. jaggy I really feel for you having to work today, it must be the last place you want to be right now what with having no sleep and then your confirmed BFP.

Scream If you use your remaining CB digi tomorrow, it will say pregnant 1-2 weeks, the same as the one you used this morning. As there are no lines to compare you won't see anything different. So, try and relax and enjoy your day. You are definitely pregnant, there is now no doubt!

dream I've been the same as you. I'm crampy in the same place and driving myself mad. I'm trying to steer clear of the CB digis this time as I find they make my anxiety even worse. (Bad experiences of the weeks not increasing made me ill with worry in past, before I'd even had anything to worry about). I know it's tempting, I just wish they'd never invented those ones, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

at Imps and Mark Owen. I used to be more of a Robbie girl myself, but the last couple of years have been more swayed to Gary Barlow .

I think I mentioned on here before that I once had a sex dream about Johnny Rotten. Actually it was more like a nightmare....

Mark Owen? Yes please! Who wouldn't?? He's been my celebrity crush of choice for more than 20 years...some would call that love!

Scream you've had 3 faint lines and a "pregnant" - seems pretty clear that you're UP THE DUFF!!!!!

My slightly dull charting question is this - I had a temp rise this morning, but not a very big one. I don't chart when I've had a drink the night before as that artificially pushes my temp up - last night I didn't have anything, and it was 36.41, as opposed to 36.32, 36.30 and 36.28 for the preceding three nights. Last month it jumped up to 36.58 the day after OV. (I would post a link but for some reason FF isn't working just now).

So the question really is - does a small 0.1 shift still mean that it's likely I OVd? This may not be an answerable question of course - but just wondered if anyone has a similar pattern.

scream, don't worry about the FRER

CONGRATULATIONS jaggy and scream !!!!

jaggy, if you've convinced internet cheapies you are amazingly well pregnant scream, i think CBD are more responsive than FR- they have been for me in the past anyway.

YAAAAAAYYYYYY

Blimey, this is all a bit too exciting.

I have joined you on the sleepless night jaggy on account of Nerves and a Wobble... I've had some crampy lower abdo pain, but no bleeding or anything but i shall indeed be buying CBD asap and hiding the evidence from scroogy dh who says don't be ridiculous, unless Something Happens you're pregnant don't waste money

at deny and bartlet the doctors doing multiple tests. I shall in fact take that as medical advice to do more than one and ignore my dh- after all, they say don't take medical advice from your nearest and dearest

Hope the rest of you ladies are all ok and Brooking No Argument for this month

and imps, mark owen!!! you have made a nervous person giggle.

Technically it was SMU on the CBD, but really I would count it as FMU simply because I didn't eat or drink anything between the FRER test at 6.45, and the CBD test around 7.30.

at Imps' Mark Owen fantasy!
