The Rat Smackteers will get their BFPs and they'll BROOK NO ARGUMENT

I will Maybe, I damn well will!

We are off to Hayle in Cornwall, can't wait!! not going until the 19th August, (it was the 16th but then DH was asked to be god father for our friends baby on the 18th :()

When and where is everyone else going if you still have a holibob to have?? [nosey emoticon]

That's it Boo you tell the weather. I am brooking for sunshine for you too. Where are you camping?

Ooh Geek ... well you know what we are brooking for obviously diffed, clearly implantation bleed, get thee to a pee stick but we will not say it out loud just yet

Keep I can't believe that bitch AF still has not got the message, we will have to try harder.

Maybe that is the best one yet I read all 3 books

Sparks Maybe the maintenance gu was trying to make it at least feel like summer???

Now why are we all saying summer is over, we have ages to go yet, and it WILL be sunny in August, as the Boo family will be under canvas for a week, it will it will it will!!!! And I really do BROOK NO ARGUMENT!

Oooo oooo oooo. I have another thing to add to how to get diffed.

Read 50 Shades of Grey......

Ooooh, Geek I Love a new symptom I hate feeling bloated and spotty. As if everything else isn't enough to contend with!

We aren't allowed to open out windows at all. Stupid regulations

sparks very odd - possibly a midsummer test of the heating system ready for it coming on for early autumn (ie next week)? Super congrats on your picot edge, I remember doing my first one and was chuffed at how neat it made the edging.

maybe 30? Seriously? We'd have a mass walkout if the temp reached that here. Mind you, we can only open our windows 110mm so fresh air isn't exactly easy to come by. Love the idea of having a summer holiday cocktail party on the tubes, that would be hilarious!!

Feeling a bit bleurgh today - complete skin breakout, I haven't had so many spots at the same time since I was in my teens! Feeling really lethargic with super-bloated, gassy fullness, almost like I feel the day before AF is due. Had some brown spotting this morning (TMI alert - yellowy brown, not pinky brown, with an EWCM consistency). Surely 5DPO is far too early for either AF or implantation bleeding though? I'm in danger of mentalling myself to death, despite being utterly convinced this is not my month.

Hmm, interesting Sparks maybe he was recreating our brief British summer?

You're right, I should go home. Why bother trying if he is against me

I have copious amounts of the pant snot. Which is very early. The last few days I have been running to the toilet thinking AF was here! I'm only on CD13, there is no way the accupuncture can be working this quickly! Plus MrMaybe is on nights and working overtime, so there has been no shagging

maybe that is a very plausible explanation BUT he has just come round to turn it off again, weird!! I'm very lucky, I have my own office, with an individual themostat :)

I think you should go home, start living up to your bosses opinions of you :o I did my picot edge! I messaged you on ravelry, I just cast on losely (cant crochet), and its a bit wonky but so glad I did it :)

I have nothing TTC to add!!!

Morning all,

So sorry AF rocked up Keep but I agree, bubbles are the way to go later. Are you off out for your anniversary? We are all brooking on your behalf.

Geek it doesn't really feel like we have had a summer does it? Though the tubes are so hot, we could always go down there and drink cocktails pretending we are on the beach?

Sparks maybe this too is why the maintenance people have whacked the heating on? The heating in my office has never been turned off. I think I have acclimatised to it. It hit 30 the other day.

I'm very tired today brookers. I would like it to be the weekend please. That is all

could someone explain why the maintenance dude has just come in turned my office heating to full blast, and walked off?!

Keep you're allowed a day off, just one mind!! Im sure your right, its just delayed but its mega frustrating!!! Some people do find it easy, but then they won't be having brooking babies will they? I mean lets face it, brooking babies are better than any other babies!!!

Am sure you will, somethings just delayed it. Keep up the sexing and it'll happen when you least expect it!

I just read the July thread. Why oh why do all these people find it so easy.

I will be a good brooker tomorrow, its my day off (though I still brook for you, I can't manage it for myself)

Wow keep imagine a Thai baby?! That's what your Blates waiting for, a proper good conception story!!!

No sign of OV, I'm resigned to the fact that its not happening this month, but still bonking just in case!! Did have a bit of pant snot but not enough to get excited about!!

Keep sorry about AF, but enjoy your anniversary and drink lots of bubbly!

I'm impressed so many of you were having sex last night - seems you really will try anything!

sparkly any ov sign yet?

Just said to dh, when we make our baby in Thailand we have to give it a Thai name...

Morning ladies! Sorry to hear about AF's unwelcome visit keep but I hope you can have a happy anniversary anyway and enjoy drinking some bubbly!

Well done to those of you who are trying out the unprotected sex theory - can't see how that will work but it's worth a try anyway

I was having a half hearted attempt!!

keep so sorry, can't believe the nerve of the bitch!!! But you're right, champagne tonight, silver lining!!!

Oh keep I'm so sorry. Your positives are looking good though I know nothing compares to what we all hope for each month. it is exhausting. Be kind to yourself, enjoy your anniversary for what it is. Your turn will come very soon, I'm brooking no argument.

No anniversary bfp for me, just a highly unwelcome old hag. Bugger

So tired of all this

Plus points, can have bubbly tonight. Af should have gone in time for appt on Tuesday in case they need to do anything. Can have remaining travel jabs without worrying.

I also was not testing the theory, I was at a boxing class, but also the OPKs and Ff have not told me it is sex week yet!! Right, off to pilates, catch ya later.

sorry cups xpost

morning all,

beedle I decided against trying that theory out on the basis that it is probably just another old wives' tale. I'll stick to what I know (having a glass of wine and mooching through conception sites). My method is obviously working, since it seems everyone around me is falling pg so I must be giving out great vibes!

cups surely you'll be rat smacking for less time, not more? If you've ov'd early then your 2ww will be the same length as normal, just starting from now. Brooking this is the one for you.

Too tired to post more this morning, these dark wet mornings make me feel like autumn is here already. Ridiculous as it's only July! MrGeek will be away tonight with work so I think I'll aim for an early night.

Yeah you only get 2 peaks but the CBFM has been wrong before. It once gave me a peak on day 19 and my cycle was 40 days long so I probably didn't keep dtd for long enough. I should really temp to make sure I ovulated but I can't be bothered

Morning Beedle

I can confirm I was testing out the theory of having unprotected sex to get pregnant I assume that's what all the other brookers were up to!

It was my second peak on CBFM plus I got a positive OPK. Am a bit surprised as it's about 5 days earlier than I usually ovulate. Now I will have to keep up the rat smacking longer than usual

Are you coming back to the UK then for a visit?
