We are all jolly well going to smack the rat this month and grow a baby and we'll brook no argument. And probably eat some cake too.

....fortunate but very deserving
In Gavin and Stacey she presents her bfp in a box...

OMG Imps I am stunned by your acrobatic display! 10 out of 10!

I couldn't tell DH this morning as DD was around and I don't want her to know yet, although I don't know if she'd understand really anyway.

Euw at the gift-wrapped pee stick although I have kept it with a vague idea to do just that

Stasi - we started trying in Jan, got pg quickly and had a mc, so been trying again ever since. Not long by some standards, so I consider myself very fortunate.

I remember another MNer giftwrapping her peestick? :o

Generic, how long have you been trying now? Sorry I've forgotten.

I can't imagine how I would tell my DH if when I get a BFP. I'd want to tell him asap, but not over the phone or in a text. That said, he normally gets up later than me in the morning, so I'd probably be able to just go back to bed and let him know :)

GenericDietCola · 22/11/2011 10:28

Thanks again everyone! You are the best rat smacking buddies ever!

Popcorn he doesn't know yet (is it weird that you all know before him?!) - I need to think of a lovely way to tell him!

Not seen Bean but I was wondering yesterday where she was.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 22/11/2011 10:25

Woo hooooooo! Grin that's fantastic generic so pleased I came back to the thread just in time! Whoop whoop whoop!

PopcornMouse · 22/11/2011 10:22

Oh whimsy I get that some months too, it sucks!

I am going to try and follow Generic's example and test if when I'm late but I know I won't have the patience :o

possiblemaybebaby · 22/11/2011 10:21

Oh Generic this is the best news eeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Grin Grin Grin Grin

I am so so pleased for you!

PopcornMouse · 22/11/2011 10:20

Has anyone seen Bean recently?

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 22/11/2011 10:18

Generic!!! That's wonderful news!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Can't wait to see you over on the antenatal thread!

GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

CONGRATS again!! So happy for you!!!

whimsicalname · 22/11/2011 10:11

Ooh, popcorn I'm due on the 1st too. I woke up with the big spot on my chin that I always get the week before, although it seems early. humpf.

PopcornMouse · 22/11/2011 10:03

Cheers Generic, I'd have been really upset if AF had come as it'd have meant my cycle was probably anovulatory - which would seem like such a waste considering it's the first month we've managed to SWI every day from 4 days pre ov to 1 day post ov! :o

Does DH know yet? What did he say? :o

ScrambledSmegs · 22/11/2011 09:54

OMG Generic!!!! That is BRILLIANT news! GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

GenericDietCola · 22/11/2011 09:50

Thanks Stasi!

GenericDietCola · 22/11/2011 09:49

Popcorn thank you, you're all so lovely! The thread has not lost its magic! Glad your AF has stayed away and surely you are on for a BFP this month after your stop-start ovulation drama! Deffo eat the cinnamon cookies! Yummy and possibly fertility-inducing!

Oh crikey, not sure of due date. I may have peeked at the calculator yesterday. I think it will be early August or possibly late July - it all depends what cycle length I give myself. I suppose if I did ovulate on day 10, that probably makes it end of July, but we will see what the dr says. I've already made an appointment as I want to hold her to her promise of an early scan this time and am brooking no argument that this will be before Christmas!

WHAT DO WE WANT?
POSITIVE PEE STICKS!
WHEN DO WE WANT THEM?
NOW!!

Stasi · 22/11/2011 09:48

Generic soooooo happy for you! Amazing news, and a very well deserved BFP! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Now, I'm off to buy cinnamon and brazil nuts. Shall I pick some up for anyone else while I'm at the shops?

PopcornMouse · 22/11/2011 09:44

YAAAAY! Congratulations Generic!! You really deserve it :)

I bought a bag of brazils but I ate them all Blush I am tempted to try the cinnamon though. (An excuse for cinnamon cookies? :o )

And it's about blimmin time! I was starting to worry our brooking thread had lost its magic Shock

Who's due next? I'm due AF on the 1st, now, so a while yet :)

GenericDietCola · 22/11/2011 09:23

Thanks Scarlet me ole cycle buddy! Tell your mum - I dare you!

scarletfingernail · 22/11/2011 09:21

What do we want? A BFP!

When do we want it? NOW!

Yaaaaayyyyy Generic that is the best news I've had since the last BFP from this thread. I'm so thrilled for you. Massive congratulations to you and your DH.

Seriously, you are NOT going to get any work done today.

I now have to call my Mum and tell her we're going to be late. I won't explain why, she won't understand Grin
