Ladies, here we are.
Let's crack on.

ah ha late, I was trying that for not having AF between stopping bf and next pg, but I have decided to do it this month instead. I WILL be confirming my BFP at the weekend. You will be following ahortly. This is needed as biscuits has requested we chop bloody chop and get ourselves firmly installed in the vomitorium. The pom pom decision is important, don't rush it

what do we want? Positive pee sticks
when do we want them? NOW!!

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 16/08/2011 19:49

Ah, it is good to be back in this atmosphere of positivity and unapologetic certainty Grin

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:46

So sorry to hear your bean hadn't read the sticking instructions fully late but positivity and brooking no argument clearly worked last time for you so I'm sure you'll get your BFP right away

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 19:40

Hello Late - here, you can have my last toasted marshmallow if you like. So glad you're back on it!! (well, as glad as you can be given the circumstances. Hope you're okay.)

Lay that egg, smack that rat, just fertilise - simples! Your newly refreshed BFP will be with you before you can say "What do we want? Positive pee sticks!".

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:40

Oh, late, what a shame your bean hadn't read the instructions! Still, now you're back its time again this month.

Happy Rat Smacking!!!

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 16/08/2011 19:36

Hello ladies, I brooked no argument on this thread a few months ago and formalised it with a bfp the same month, along with Our Founder, Aubers. Unfortunately my bean didn't stick (it obviously hadn't read the instructions, I will be firmer next time) and I had a mc at 10 weeks. ERPC was 2 weeks ago

I'm now in the WTF Cycle - not that that means I can't get myself updiffed again pretty darn smartish, have been smacking the rat regularly for the last 2 weeks despite not having a clue where I am in my cycle! Grin The flag is raised and DH is back on his Wellman vitamins, now all I have to do is lay an egg and JUST FERTILIZE!!!

jenfraggle · 16/08/2011 19:29

Welcome cake! Your BFP is just around the corner, being on this thread makes it so.

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:29

Hi imps !

yes ma'am, glittery ones :o

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 19:25

Is our camping trip do you think?

Hello Cake! Welcome! Hope you've got your no brooking pom poms with you!

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:20

Hello! Ooh I haven't had toasted marshmallows for aaages, I should come here more often!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:18

Hello cake, welcome to the thread! Stoke the campfire, grab a marshmallow and prepare yourself for your BFP!!!

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 19:16

Hello! Please may I join in? We have been ttc a little while now and my positivity is starting to waver so hopefully you can all set me back on the right track! Especially as my boss has just announced that she's pregnant and I'm being subjected to scan pictures, the lot! I feel the need for a positivity injection. I'm currently somewhere in the 2ww, not sure where as I'm having a month off from charting ( I did sneak in a quick temp check the other day though, just to check...ahem) so I can focus fully on brooking no argument!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:11

oh, I meant scarlet will be in there on Thursday with you

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 19:10

Oh biscuits, you'll see baby-Biscuits wriggling about and the Brooking will become sooooo easy. Good luck, hope you enjoy it! You must pop by tomorrow and tell us all about it. And i am trying very hard brooking no argument about joining you in the vomitorium at the weekend. As will scarlet, with scream soon afterwards. And jaggy will rock up in 6 days time, so you won't be able to get a good seat for us graduates crowding the place Grin

jenfraggle · 16/08/2011 18:50

They are 10 when they come to Guides and honestly some of them are so useless. They have been wrapped up in cotton wool and can't seem to do anything for themselves. It takes us a while to get them up to the standard that they used to be

Biscuitsandtea · 16/08/2011 18:42

Indeed scan is tomorrow - thanks. Am bricking it brooking no argument naturally :)

maybebabyR · 16/08/2011 18:38

Biscuits! How are you? Am I right in thinking you have a scan tomorrow? Will be thinking of you x

Grin at touch a match and your arm falls off Jen

jenfraggle · 16/08/2011 18:33

I seem to have started something with the campfire. Wish my Guides were as enthusiastic but they get fire is bad and touch a match and your arm will fall off drilled into them so much at home that it takes them a while to be comfortable around them. It is my big thing that I want every Guide to be able to be happy using matches before they leave as 99% of them come up from Brownies scared of them.

Biscuitsandtea · 16/08/2011 18:24

Solars I got my BFP the cycle after my HSG - get smacking those rats and make these months count.

Fingers crossed for everyone else testing soon / smacking rats / waiting to smack rats etc etc - I guess EVERYONE. Need some of you ladies to graduate as the vomitorium has gone a bit quieter these days - worried I've scared some of the originals away Blush

maybebabyR · 16/08/2011 18:10

Thanks Ninja and Scarlet

Scream Holiday was amazing, very relaxing first week, then picked up the classic camper for the second week! Am now a camping aficionado Grin

Solars glad it all went well today, I have heard of so many people getting their BFPs not long after, and you are most definitely going to be another of them Smile

Keeping everything crossed for all those testing soon

NinjaChipmunk · 16/08/2011 18:00

Hi maybe good to see you back and glad you had a lovely holiday. Heres to a nice relaxed month of shagging for you.
solars well done on the fanny cam, can you phone them for the results or do you really have to wait till end of september? thats ages!
Hello to everyone else, am off out to dinner tonight with friends so won't be on till tomorrow. We have managed to swi every night from day 9 to day 14 so far, reckon if we can manage another 3 nights i'll have covered all bases. And we'll both be too knackered to carry on anyway. Have a good evening all, I love a good camp fire feast!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 17:47

oh-just read your post properly scarlet, you are Blindingly Obviously Pregnant, now you just need your pee stick endorsement Grin Hooray!!!

I did the operation straight after my birth- that was the worst bit- being numb from the waist down, flat, away from her for an hour or so while I was in theatre, puking violently in theatre all over my hair that i had to smell all night and then not being able to sit up, get up or hold her apart from wedged in bed with me for about 12 hours afterwards.... doh. AND no shower til the next day. Minging. And i'd STILL do it naturally again!!!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 17:43

oh, THERE you are scarlet

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 17:42

solars, you were very brave for Fanny Cam. I hope you got a sticker!! My DH de-gloved his knee to the bone falling off his mountain bike. He got an 'I was brave for the Doctor' sticker in A&E probably as he was working there himself at the time I googled it and see in the first couple of months after there is a statisically significant slightly higher rate of conception. Hooray for your ironic BFP this month!!! it's SO happening Grin Treat yourself to a take-away. I'd say Indian

go piglet go!! lay that egg and smack that rat

That blooming radiator- i sanded it to start with, and scratched off a load of the paint- maybe too much sanding?? which i'm still struggling to cover, plus its drip-central. I WISH i hadn't started, i've made a mess Sad

DD loved the party. My back knows all about it...! She, aged 11 months, ate an enormous, toddler-sized piece of chocolate birthday cake. She was presented with it, I was horrified at the size and resolved to get some off her, but she crammed it into her mouth with double-handed stuff-it-in enjoyment and I couldn't bear to pinch the food she thought was hers back.... She is very clearly my daughter!!!

Now, camping,

and where oh where is scarlet?

scarletfingernail · 16/08/2011 17:37

Ooops sorry solars got the wrong day, I thought it was tomorrow. Glad you're feeling ok
