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!

Jen don't worry about the sloshing, i think theres always some of that. Maybe try swi with the pillow already under your bum and squeezing your pelvic floor as he exits? Or maybe something like doggy style as apparently it leaves the semen close to the cervix so more likely they will head on up rather than drop out? We used preseed this month and there was a LOT of sloshing haha!
OOh im another one with a bfp on 1st month using preseed, coincidence?

notebook I have no idea about fertility straight after af but i guess it doesn't hurt to try? chocolate fridge cake sounds yummy.

I think i shall take ds to the transport museum today. we went last year and the tickets are valid for a year so it could be a good call on such a miserable day.
Well i don't know if it is because ds keeps waking me up at 2am but i so needed a middle of the night wee last night, and i kept having strange dreams too. a symptom maybe?

Morning glowing ladies!

Hmmm ... Jen maybe you could ask him to stay inside you for a while? A ten minute cuddle (just to make it sound romantic rather than scientific :-) )

Scream keep up the positive thinking. Look a some lovely maternity and babywear online. Try to enjoy the early excitement although I know it must be hard. We're all rooting for you!

Can I ask a question? Is it really true that you can conceive just after your AF and that this may be your most fertile time? I'm simply wondering if that's where I've been going wrong.

I had a piece of chocolate fridge cake for breakfast this morning. Must be pregnancy cravings!

Well we DTD last night after lots of moaning from DH. Not a good start as it was only day 1 so he couldn't say he was fed up with it!

Just a slight TMI problem. Whenever he pulls out of me, it all just comes sloshing straight out. I'm worrying whether any is staying in there to do its job

As for me, the FRER gave me a lovely clear line this morn, which was very cheering. However my cramps have significantly ramped up over the last 24 hours (which happens to be the first day AF could have been due) and I freaked myself out yday thinking I might have found a teeny spot of blood. I'm not sure it was a spot, and I haven't seen anything else (not even wiping - sorry if tmi!). I just feel really vulnerable this week.

I've noticed the cramps quiet down when I lie still, and really intensify when I'm running around doing stuff, so I will be spending the rest of this week revising quietly on my bed whenever I can.

Squeak and I have ramped up our no brooking and positive visualisations to meet this risk head on! We are NOT having it!

Hi Baby, I'm so sorry to hear you ended up with a deluded pee stick! Which type was it? The Internet cheapies are particularly difficult to sway early on! Keep up the no brooking and those pee sticks will fall in line. Meconium will tell you just how long implantation can take!

Btw is there any small chance you might actually be ovulating today? Either super late or for the second time in your cycle? A positive opk should never be wasted!

Cake I'm so gutted to hear AF might have shown up! How did last night go, is it definite? Of course if she is here that means that it's day 1 of your pg!

It's so crappy when she comes. AF visited me about a week after I first joined this thread, and I was gutted. However the lovely ladies in here helped me to keep Brooking No Argument, and when I said 'today is day 1 of my pg' it was confirmed 3 weeks later! You and Bartlet and everyone else in the first week are soooooo close to your confirmations! Hang in there!

Silly pee stick Babysade just a matter of finding an agreeable one. When is AF -not- due?

It's a BFN for me this morning on a real preggo test think I got a bit carried away yesterday
No worries, I'm still brooking no argument. It's just too early to test clearly

Cake, I had my monthly cry just a few days ago, but that was before I arrived here. It's a shame that I won't be around very long to get to know any of you before I leave for an antenatal thread in 4 weeks time...

Until then, I can provide you with copious cups of (decaffeinated) tea and cake - we are all eating for two, you know.

dream, I know your DH says that MN is not good, but I am a doctor too and I think you should continue to receive the support at this time - doctor's orders!

golden, what are you still doing up at this time? Don't you need to be getting to bed?

want, there is a bedroom here that needs the wallpaper taken off if you get the urge again...

Well done Meconium that's amazing! A Line is a line.

wants I take it you are a teacher too? Still two weeks left but having to do bits of work now grrr!

Started SWI ... very enjoyable :-)

cake you shall be joining us with a June baby!

Off to drink my one glass of wine and watch Breaking Bad.

you're a busy lady jaggy but yes please don't leave us, we like you around for cake chat and general positivity!

good job meconium. :)

sorry cake, this will definitely be your month though!

dream i had the Always attached when i had those bad cramps last Thursday, i was so not brooking any argument.

I'd like to hang around for some cheerleading and cake chat too if that's ok. :)

I'm keeping myself a bit busy with 3 ttc threads (charting, bf and here) and have peeked into the charting and brooking ante natal ones too in the spirit of not brooking.

blimey, another one! Right, must drag dh upstairs now. Nudge nudge wink wink

Oh Meconium, well done! Congratulations to you.

And Cake, love & positivity for the new month to you.

All is well, DH home and just accepted that I had done it and then reminded me that there are now 5 doorways to sand and paint too! Well it will keep me busy in between SWI and MN. congrats to all the BFP's today.

sorry to hear that cake but we will certainly keep them warm and save you some baked goods. You'll need to keep your strength up if it becomes day 1 of your pregnancy.

Thanks for your unwavering positivity I'm really grateful Im bleeding quite a bit now though so I'm just going to take tonight to have my monthly cry and then I'll be right back to brooking no argument, promise. Sorry for a negative post - keep my pom poms warm for me!

I hope so dream I've been on these conception boards a long time now but this is the best, most positive long term thread I've come across. Love it, and it keeps me in a good frame of mind. Now, I just need to find that pee stick that will agree with me.....

oh, adn cake, i agree with baby, when i had the spotting, just like af beginning at day 26 i assumed my cycle was back to 27-28 days as it was pre-baby and af would arrive the next day. Had the old san towel on and all, i was that sure. Much later than i thought implantation bleed would be. Worry not yet

oh but it WILL Ninja, this month is YOUR month. You shall convince first a FR, then an internet cheapie (or I can recommend a Numark pharmacy own-brand cheapie), then a CBD to see how many weeks. I prophesise (sp?) this

I nearly nearly bought a CBD today, but then realised a) how expensive it was and b) it only goes up to 4+ weeks which i'm sure I am...

dream i really don't think anyone would kick you pregnant ladies off this thread, especially in your conditions! Its really nice to have more people to help with the brooking, especially if the pee sticks aren't agreeing with us.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed the other posts!!!!!!!

Congratulations meconium, an evening BFP = very pregnant indeed

babysade, oh quick, oh quick, get thee to a shop and get a heavy duty test!!!! I can't wait for your 'proper' confirmation

imps, i also have sensitive nips! They're rubbing in my bra when I bend down to hold DDs finger while she tootles round, and they hurt!!! Just shows you shouldn't be tight and should buy some more nursing bras when your already barely-adequate boobage shrinks again...... Deffo upduffed you are

Oh good, glad you're still here little, I feel sad about you and have losing the Brooking spirit and hope your BFP just hurries up before I get kicked off this thread for being Not ttc anymore...

golden, i haven't a clue when I ovulated, I got some EWCM one day and went for it like mad, but it was a tiny bit, and I wondered how many days I'h had it before I noticed etc etc, but the sexing had it covered anywya. My DH always says all you need to do is shag. Tis true.

baby, leave it til latest possible I say, as less time for stressing! Plus you get the bonus of a whopping line to start with which cheered me up a treat. Esp as I'm 6 weeks pg on Fri which is halfway to my scan!!! and not known for that long.

I desperately want a smart phone now to mn sneakily and avoid dh (who's working til 10pm tonight so i can mn away to my hearts content ). but which....sigh

aw well done meconium thats lovely news, I can't believe its another bfp! Some of this better rub off on me so I can confirm what i've known for the last 16 months.
and baby too, looking forward to your confirmation tomorrow. This really is a special thread.

Oh Meconium how wonderful! Well done! So joining this thread was all you needed to bring those pesky pee sticks in line!

Baby sounds very hopeful - you will have to confirm tomorrow with a proper one.

Cake I still say it's implantation, hang in there chuck.
