Yay Scream Grin and your plan for saving the other CBD until tomorrow sounds v good. Did you still use FMU on your CBD? GrinGrin again

CakePigeon · 19/08/2011 07:36

Hooray jaggy and scream Grin scream a line is a line and if in doubt, bin it and concentrate on your CBD result, actual words are pretty irrefutable I reckon

Grin at imps mark Owen? Really?! Haha! ask away about charting

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 07:30

Eeeek! Okay, well, in the spirit of BROOKING NO ARGUMENT I decided to break out my CBD. When I first tested this morning the lines on the FRER and the internet cheapy were so faint (painfully painfully faint) that I thought it wasn't worth trying the CBD. I've read online that the clearblues aren't as sensitive as the FRERs and internet cheapies, and I didn't want to upset myself with a BFN when waiting to tomorrow might give a better answer.

BUT then I decided to think positive, and just go for it! So I cracked it out and: Pregnant! 1-2 weeks!

Still very scared, particularly because it's a worrying sign that the FRER test isn't any darker than yesterday. It's literally so faint that at first glance you wouldn't even think anything is there at all. My DH had a right old squint at it this morning and eventually conceded that there is something there.

Argh!! So nervous!! Please help me stay sane positive today ladies!!

I now have only one CBD left, and no FRERs. In the interest of not bankrupting myself I will be hanging on to the CBD and trying again tomorrow morning I might also buy one more double FRER packet and use it over the weekend as well AFwould normally show up any time next week, could be Monday but to match my longest ever cycle it would arrive on Friday, so I'm focusing on getting past next week without letting her in!

Scream a line is a line is a line. BROOK NO ARGUMENT.

Hooray Jaggy! Fantastic news. This is clearly the thread to be on!

Imps7 · 19/08/2011 07:14

YAY!!!!! A double confirmation of the Blindingly Obvious!! Very well done, ladies Grin Grin

FOUR BFPs in 2 days!!! That has to be some sort of thread record!

Oooh I had a lovely if somewhat rude dream involving Mark Owen last night - my, what a dirty boy he is Blush Grin Still, at least it confirms that he's thoroughly deserving of his place on my Allowed List...

Can I ask a charting question or is now an inappropriate time given the celebrations???

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 07:07

surely if you can see a line it's a bfp? brook no argument!

Tbh my AF isn't due till Monday/tuesday so i am worried about testing too early too. :) I will POAS every day i think!

Biscuitsandtea · 19/08/2011 07:05

Scream I have all my fingers and toes crossed that this sticks for you. 12dpo is still reasonably early to be testing isn't it. I mean not stupidly early but still quite early. When is/was AF due? I know when I googled when to test the Internet advice is something like you should wait until 18 or 19 dpo like who can wait that long?

But in any event I'm super hopeful that this IS your month. Try not to do any more tests today and see if you can get to tomorrow morning before you test again.

And remember - positive people get positive peesticks Smile

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 06:55

Congratulations Jaggy!! It looks like we really did check at the same time after all! Well done!! Fingers crossed for a super sticky bean!!

Unfortunately mine wasn't quite what I was hoping for. There's still a really faint barely-there line on the FRER, but it doesn't appear to have changed at all from yesterday. There's also an even fainter (really super squint territory) line on my internet cheapy. I wouldn't call either of them a BFP though.

It's 12 DPO here, and this is the third faint line I've seen, so I'm really focusing on brooking no argument and trying not to think about chemicals so any positive thinking / no brooking assistance any of you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Biscuitsandtea · 19/08/2011 06:46

YAY!!!!!!! congratulations Jaggy I am so excited for you GrinGrinGrin

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 06:45

me again!

it appears to be an amazon cheapie double confirmation of another rat smacked!

after 11 months of being pissed off i am staring at my pink lines a bit stunned. DH can even see them without glasses on!

Eeeeek!

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 05:21

eventually got to sleep, then was woken up by DS bellowing 'MUUMMMY' at 4.30. you couldn't make it up!

he went on shouting and added in a request for mummy milk, so i eventually went and got him a drink of water. i reckon he's just thirsty and snottery from having had a cold. now asleep on my knee.

work is going to be fun today after about 4 hours sleep. yawn. Irn Bru to be acquired on way there i think...

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 02:06

can't bloody sleep!

been awake for about the last hour and now DH is snoring. grr.

yes bartlett it was 'for fun', i picked that up on here somewhere! he was actually too tired by the time he got to bed!

i got to sleep fine but nothing is working now. am also in the huff as a won't get 3 hours sleep in a row so my chart temp will be rubbish.

right, away to see if grumping on here will help me get back to sleep. :)

BartletForAmerica · 18/08/2011 22:25

Is it always quite so exciting here? I felt quite breathless at all the happy hysteria (and I don't mean that in a bad way!) Grin

Scream, AF arrived yesterday after being several days late and a few BFNs, so I have used the Mumsnet ovulation calendar and marked the days that we will be SWI in the diary. DH is informed that we are getting pregnant this month and I have bought OPKs and Preseed from Amazon. We are good to go.

jaggy's DH wants to "SFF". What does that mean? For fun?

I'll be back tomorrow with pompoms. I was a big fan of Sweet Valley High as a teenager so am very excited about it!

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 18/08/2011 22:16

have just been reading all the posts, am utterly exhausted! Grin

see you all in the morning for the test results!

maybebabyR · 18/08/2011 21:44

Looking forward to your good news Jaggy hope you manage to get some sleep Smile

CakePigeon · 18/08/2011 21:37

Sleep well jaggy see you in the morning for your confirmation Grin

jaggythistle · 18/08/2011 21:34

see you in the morning.....

jaggythistle · 18/08/2011 21:27

maybebabyR · 18/08/2011 21:26

Haha Jaggy you make me chuckle Grin

jaggythistle · 18/08/2011 21:21

Sorry that post does not sit at all well with the non SWI ing DHs, sorry! Blush

jaggythistle · 18/08/2011 21:20

think I need an early night too.

DH has indicated a preference to SFF, he'd better drag himself away from the playstation soon though, cos I'm away to bed.

To sleep peacefully and not think about POAS at all.

maybebabyR · 18/08/2011 20:48

I had the same trouble with my DH Imps Apparently he was too tired Hmm I thought it was our prerogative to decline sex whenever we wanted Smile

Imps7 · 18/08/2011 20:46

Hurrumph - OH has returned home in a grumpy strop. No lovin' for me tonight.

On the plus side, this leaves me with more time to work on my cheerleader routine for the BFP Confirmation Fest tomorrow.
