Brooking No Argument for Positive Pee Sticks, Healthy Pregnancies and Home-made Cakes!!!

Congratulations Jazzy!

Indeed! It is lovely to see the newer BFPs and, I figure, that I plan on doing this all again in a year or two, so why miss the banter and leave knowing that I'll only be back sometime!

I can verify that there is no problem in being on both threads! I'm 20 weeks and have never left this thread

Woo hoo! Congratulations on the BFP, jazzy.

When you feel ready (I took about a month to make the transition across), you'd be very welcome at the antenatal thread:

Very glad to hear there are proper solutions for you.
Bye for now!

SQUEEEEEEEEE

Jazzy!!!!

How did we miss out badgering you to test????

Still, that's frickin' awesome!!!! Congratulations

Oh, and as your DH, it doesn't count telling us

Yay Jazzy well done on your BFP!! the brooking clearly worked. Now we will be brooking for a lovely non eventful pregnancy

Have a nice weekend everyone, I'm off to work soon

Just thought id share with you all i went to see dr today as i have had brown spotting for a few days at beginning of week then nothing else i was worried why af had not show up fully and this afternoon my BFP was confirmed eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk im so frigging excited its very early days and DH does not want me to shout it from the roof tops yet but im bursting to tell people

Yay Generic you go smack that rat good and proper!

Popcorn i've just had a peek at that thread, very indeed, really can't understand it!

We are just both cream-crackered I think, he will change his mind again in a week (and hasn't actually mooted contraception). It was only a fortnight ago he was all "ooo Popcorn, when are we having kiddlywinks?". So I think everyone is right, he is just having a wobble :)

Yes they will Little!

Popcorn that is so sad. I wandered onto the thread that Farfalla mentioned a week or so ago and it was very sad. Sorry to hear about your DH having a wobble, but I'm sure this is common and hopefully he didn't actually mean you should wait.

Ooh more EWCM today, so maybe my egg will be laid earlyish and I am in with a chance this month. What am I saying? Of course I'm in with a chance I'm blooming well getting pregnant and I'm brooking no argument!

Little that sounds lovely. It will happen, for all of us!

yes they are then generic, mine was 2 in Oct. And our next little ones will be as well, when they're born in 9 months

Oh Little I am with you there. I feel the same longing and I know DD would love a little sibling (I think our DDs are about the same age - mine was 2 in Sept). I will join in your motto:

I am jolly well going to get pregnant this month and I'll brook no argument

Hi all.

Sorry to hear af arrived beedle.

And i'm glad you've got some answers far. You have a great reason to test early now too!

Stasi lots of love & luck for tomorrow. I hope you have an amazing time & wonderful honeymoon.

I met a friends 2 week old baby this morning. He is gorgeous and it was lovely to meet him, but as they left I felt very sad. Her eldest is the same age as my dd and they looked so happy, I wish I had that too. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with my life, my dp and dd are amazing, but, as you all know, the longing for a baby is totally uncontrollable. So, I'm just going to reinstate the original thread title for my new motto:

I am jolly well going to get pregnant this month and I'll brook no argument.

So there

Sorry not got time to stop, but just wanted to wish Stasi all the best for tomorrow. I wish I could get married again (to DH of course) I just loved every minute of my wedding day.

farfalla I just skimmed up to find out how you got on yesterday. Fantastic that you have some answers. At least now you know what you're dealing with and have some clear direction on what happens next. BFP next month for you my lovely

Hi everyone else, sorry to hear about all the AFs that have turned up this week. I'm still brooking for each and every one of you.

Beedle really sorry about AF, here's to day 1 of your pregnancy . Actually you & Maybe can be my cycle buddies now. I'm on day 4 but I ovulate late normally bout day 19 so we will probably be rat smacking around the same time

Munkii sorry about BFN, it sucks doesn't it? Big hugs for you & I've sent a message to AF saying if she shows her face around here again she is dead meat

Hey Generic I've also had a word with your egg and asked her to time ovulation around your trip.

Imps I have a recipe file which is mostly empty I love your notes idea, think I may have to steal it too

Popcorn I agree it sounds like he's worried about providing for you all if he's concerned about his job. Which is not such a bad thing as at least it shows he is committed to doing it all properly. My DH has a few times made some comments like that as we are not in the best financial position. However we talked for years before starting to ttc as honestly I was ready about 4 years ago. I just keep saying it's never going to be a good time. It's promising that he still delivered the goods though

Scrambled have a great day. I'm very

God I don't know where to start! I've had a bit of a lie in as I start nights tonight.

Stasi omg you are a busy bee. All the best for tomorrow, it really is the best day of your life. I wish I could have my wedding day again as it was brilliant. We had so much fun & were never off the dancefloor. Get smacking that rat, honeymoon baby here we come. This is still a very lucky thread, a while ago we had a ridiculous number of BFPs so I think that's why it's been a bit quiet on here lately. We are definitely due another truck load for all of us

Far I'm so glad the appointment was positive overall. However I'm sure you & DH are still a bit shell shocked by it all. Even when you have your suspicions something is wrong it can be suprising to have it confirmed. It's really great that they should be able to help. I assume that they would give you enoxiparin injections which they can teach you to do at home? If that's the case then I just want to reassure you that if you have to do this I'm sure you will get used to it very quickly. Ive worked with a lot of kids that have had to do this and after a week or two they often say its no problem & some of these kids are needlephobic to start with.

Sorry went off on a bit of a tangent there see Far you are proof that people should not have to wait for 3 mmc for investigation. How horrible that there could be treatment available to prevent it and people are not given it. Do these policy makers not understand how distressing this all is.

Right I've rambled on so much I can't remember what everyone said so I'll have to read back'

Oh Stasi you have been busy, wishing you a fabulous day tomorrow and do try and pause throughout the day to take it all in - the day goes so quickly! You're going to have a lovely day x

Maybe glad to hear you are feeling much better.

Farfalla that is so super to hear about your appointment and your chat with DH is very encouraging, what with your holiday coming up you are definitely on for that bfp now!

Beedle so sorry to hear about af, hope you're ok.

Imps you are surely on for an ironic bfp now and what a fabulous idea about your notebook. I have a notebook but it's just recipies that I've taken from tv shows or orally from friends and family, I usually tear out recipes and collect them in a folder. Yours is a fab idea as you can hand that down, which would be such a treasure for your kids - love it!

Munkii sorry about bfn, could be still early?

Popcorn when DH & I were starting to ttc many moons ago my DH would come out with things like that too, we sat down and talked about it and a lot of it was due to him being scared and partly that he didn't think he would be a good father, when I told him I felt the same too and that we'd work together to sort things out he seemed fine about the whole thing.

Far I am so so pleased you have got answers, and whilst a bit scary, at least you know now that you are going to receive the best possible care throughout your imminent pregnancy. Also glad that you and DH had a good talk. It always helps doesn't it.

Popcorn I think it is very common for men to have a bit of a wobble with the whole TTC thing (see my DH last month ). I think that it has a lot to do with the fact that they think they have to be their to provide all the time, and the thought that they might struggle a bit worries them. Men

And Delicious and Olive are really good, agree that Delicious is more recipe focussed.

Sorry about the BFN Munk, how long are your cycles normally?

Hope you have an amazing time Scrambled, v. jealous!

Generic I'm not to sure I am a domestic goddess, just a bit addicted to being homely!!

Far that sounds like an amazing, very positive result. Like you say, maybe it means the early mcs were for a reason, and in the long run you'll be better prepared to carry a bean to term. Great that you know exactly what needs to be done, now :)

maybe your DH sounds super, fancy having an emergency kitkat chunky to hand - Bear Grylls move aside! :d

bean that's so lovely that you finally realised Mr Bean was The One, it's like a romantic movie :)

Interesting that a couple of you are CD11/12 - good bit of karma there?
Maybe it's like when women living in the same house slowly synchronise their cycles

Cupcakes I have it under good authority DH that B12 can be found in twiglets and marmite, two of his favourite foods.

Imps & Biscuits I sub to good food (my only magazine subscription ever, which is ironic considering I edit the silly things for a living) - I'm liking it for the most part though the xmas edition is a bit roast-based for me. What if you're sponging off relatives rather than cooking for own? .
What are Delicious and Olive like, Imps? I was a bit put off by Olive's eating out bit as a) we're perpetually skint and b) it seemed very London focussed.
I just tear out whole pages and put them in clear plastic wallets in a ring binder - your system sounds way more organised! :)

OMG stasi are you wonderwoman? I hope DH is helping with that mammoth list!

Really sorry AF caught you, Beedle :(

Well, DH has decided we're not in the right place for DCs just yet . He thinks we "need to get organised" by which he means he wants a new job (or rather, I have nagged him to get one because his hours are pants), we'd like to move house, and the house needs lots of work. And yet he still shagged me this morning so WIBU to not take him entirely seriously? Men! :o

Just popping in, will read back later..... Apologies........

CD35 here no AF but a BFN on an Internet cheapie.

Hope everyone has a good day.
