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!

(Apologies if this isn't really in keeping with the ttc purpose of this thread. I'm just hoping a few positive stories might help with the visualisations! Currently all my visualisations go up to 8 months pg, and suddenly skip forward to having a gorgeous mini person! Everything in between is definitely head-in-sand territory!)

It's another TWO hours before this train arrives, and I'm sitting opposite the most disagreeable man! Luckily DH is next to me so I'm not too worried about the annoying guy picking a fight, but the whole silent struggle for foot-space is just so frustrating!

Does anyone have any distracting stories to tell? The ante-natal thread (yup I've been prematurely lurking ) had a whole load of super scary birth stories recently. Plus there's a thread on the "discussions of the day" which is all about how easy second births are compared to the UNMITIGATED HORROR of first births! These stories weren't particularly encouraging for a first-timer. Do any of you lovely sprogged up ladies have a GOOD first birth story? Or do you know anyone else who had a good first birth?

Scream how exciting. It's a numbers game. Pee on enough sticks and you will get that BFP

dream I know you're going to get a BFP. Are you testing tonight?

DH will go barmy if I spend all night glued to my laptop. He's already said I should have a built in chip for MN.

But I don't care. I'm waving those pom poms and cheering for dream even if it means both of us going without any dinner

It really does sound hopeful Dream and after all you're clearly already pg!

It's way too early for me to test tom (much MUCH more so than for you!) So let's just go for it together and if we get BFNs we'll be able to remind each other that it's still early and we'll get those pesky pee sticks in line later on in the week!

Oops forgot to include the most important part JUST FERTILISE!! what cycle day are you dream sorry I can't keep up!

I like it! Good work Farfalla and Jen! Thanks BabySade!

Okay, so, any crazy symptoms out there ladies? I've decided to take zero symptoms as a symptom in its own right! clearly deluded and clutching at straws There's a clearly pregnant glow in here, emanating from you all! So what signs have you had?

Then it says 'JUST FERTILISE!'

DH says he will either nick (from work) or buy me a pg test. if i get a BFN it will be because you lot made me test for no other reason that a smidgion of brownish stuff on wiping ages ago....

should i not just wait a bit longer....?????

...and brooking no arguement

I'm dying to see the full thread title but the MN app won't play ball! Would anyone mind telling me what it says after visualising?

Oh and Farfalla how rude of me not to comment on the decor! Lovely colours - is it Dulux, Crown or Farrow and Ball?

JUST FERTILISE!! I love it. I had a bit of a word with my egg on Saturday. The conversation went a little like this:-
right eggy we have done all the hard work so if you could please let just one sperm in and implant that would be great. Thank you very much.
you are completely mental
Why don't you give your sperm a pep talk?
god we better get preggo this time cos I can't take anymore craziness

Haha luckily my DH thrives on craziness well he doesn't have much choice being married to me!

Yes good luck with your scan Biscuits. Don't feel worried - you're brooking no argument whatsoever, remember?

Hello ratsmackers

Very tasteful decor Farfalla, I like it a lot.

Phew! I found you! For a while I was wandering alone in the maze of the MN app (which is AWFUL) but here you are!

Hello Biscuits! good luck with your scan, that's so exciting!!

Many thanks to Farfalla for the new home. Can we have a tour?

Just popping in to mark my place and wave some pom poms in the general direction of Dream and Scream

Hurrah! It's the new thread!! Wonderful!

Right, so it's game on for Dream and Scream - who's going to get there first with their BFP??
