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!

jaggy and the "accidental pee sticks"

I am so brooking no argument that some cheapo pee sticks accidentally ordered themselves from Amazon today. I guess the emergency CBD wasn't enough for my cupboard after all.

right. Its best we wait scarlet, to make sure we Brook No Argument with those damn pee sticks. Or, get the GP to test you- a FREE pee stick, winner

generic, i'm coming to Dragon's Den. Like the learn-while-you-wee too. Winner. Run with it

Oh yes, generic I love the idea of exciting picture pee sticks! Maybe with a word of the day spin off series for a bit of learning whilst you pee

Hi scarlet best of look for Thursday, lots of confirmations to look forward to this week!

Dream and Cake I think you've identified a gap in the market for recreational pee sticks - y'know for when you know you're not preggers but just fancy peeing on something to see what happens. We could design something that revealed an exciting picture when you pee on it. Fancy going on Dragon's Den with me?

Oh and yes, hang on a bit longer Dream - you don't want a lying pee stick false negative.

Oh dream I had almost convinced myself to test in the morning instead of Thursday. I have a GP appointment tomorrow for something else and was just thinking I could do with knowing if I'm pregnant or not before seeing him. Now you're not testing, I will stick to the earlier plan of Thursday.

Hi cake and welcome back late. I'm sorry you're joining us again, MC's are horrible. Good to hear you sounding so positive, you will get your BFP in no time.

Good call on the folic acid dream totally preggo! That reminds me, must remember to take mine today too..

babysade was it you who said you're a nurse? I think a bit of medical knowledge is a Bad Thing. However, all DH's doctor friends were desperate to avoid sections and have all done/ do obs and gynae and most have had babies- good signs!!!!!! Stabbing pain? preggers, thats what you are

Hello to Cake as well!

Scarlet sounds very promising

Solars glad it all went well, your definitely in line for a BFP now

Enjoy your scan Biscuits

cake, my last cycle was 34 days but have a feeling the're going to be v irregular (just re-started and i'm still bf) and i'm day 32 here.

Oooh, maybe, seeing you again has made me remember, i haven't taken a folic acid since last time you mentioned it- that would be Timing Couldn't Be Worse for this month, so i MUST be upduffed, no?!

ok, DH has said he doesn't think i should waste pre-emptively use my one-and-only pee stick tmw... sigh

generic, my friends DH once offered to go and get her a few sticks from the garden if she really had the urge to pee on something. (she was wanting to test 'in case' she was pg despite still having her implant in!) Worth a shot?! lol. maybe i'll do that!!!!

Thanks for the reassurances over giving birth guys, I think the reason I'm so scared is like you dream I know a little bit about it from a medical point of view.

Hello Jen Solars Piglet and Late

Really sorry about your little bean Late however you are clearly an expert at brooking no argument, get smacking that rat

My weird symptom for today is stabbing pain in my pubic bone have never had anything like this before grasping at any possible sign, the crazy 2WW begins

That is a while, plenty of good rat smacking between then and now though and maybe you can even pee on a few opks to keep you going!

Ooh dream you should test! When is AF due for you? Oh dear I am such a bad poas influence!

scarlet, i'm swaying, should i test with you tmw????

Right jaggy, i feel no need to stop calling her The Bean now.

cake go for it! if i don't POAS before i'll join you at the weekend. I eat so much worse since DD's arrival... much less time for fruit eating!!!

Ah yes, the peeing-on compulsion - I know it well.

Ages for me - AF outstaying her welcome here at the mo. Next POAS time will therefore be mid-September and I am determined to get an obedient pee stick this time!

Hmmm well I'm not sure how many dpo I am, beginning to think my month away from charting is more stressful than it should be! I might cave and start taking my temps again, otherwise I'll poas at the weekend just for fun, no idea if that's too early but I am feeling the need to po something! How about you?

Ooh fruit and veggies sound just what babyCake needs - well done! When are you confirming you bloomingly obvious pregnancy?

Thanks for the hot chocolate biscuits good luck with your scan :) excited for you!

wow I am at least going to look pregnant with all this lovely food to munch on!

Hi generic Your Nice Tea sounds lovely, I took advantage of DH being out to eat some fruit and veggies as a treat for impending baby cake - DH is terrible and won't eat his greens!

Baby brain, Biscuits! Ta for goodies

That was supposed to say mini marshmallows on top for the Preggos - don't know where the other words went.....

Stupid work getting in the way of MN - I've missed the campfire fun!

Welcome back Late and so sorry re mc - they are poo. No reason you can't start Brooking straightaway though and get right back to rat smacking - good for you.

Hello Cake

Biscuits nice to see you again and stop pinching all our goodies I am sure your scan will be marvellous tomorrow and I am Brooking No Argument.

Scarlet and *Dream I am so excited about your impending BFPs - eek!

Solars so glad HSG went well (well you know what I mean). This whole baby-making malarkey is just so goddamn romantic isn't it? However, now you've started your investigations, that guarantees your ironic BFP n'est pas?

My next gynae appointment in in October, so just in time for a BFP this month meaning I will be 8 weeks up ze duff by then - hurrah! We have had a Nice Tea tonight and it's not even ovulation time

nearly too? wtf?

baby brain getting worse by the day...

hmm, not sure dream. mine's nearly too and i still regularly greet him with 'hi baby' he also answers to monkey.

NB. do you think now that my dd is 11 months old we (Me, DH, family and friends) ought to stop calling her The Bean, or X (insert her name)-Bean and start just calling her her name???? t'would be very, very difficult....
