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

[allhailtheaubergine]

Who's in?

Sorry for belated explantation of M. It just says that in the instructions I'm sure I'm doing it right. I'm sure.

And in four days I get to POAS

Ooooh, there are some good symptoms on here. We are all so pregnant there's really no point in waiting for our BFPs, we might as well just skip to the public announcements and pram shopping.

I have some blood tests booked for tomorrow and a Clearblue monitor on its way - surely this must mean I will be pregnant this month so I won't get to use either?

Right.
DH has bought a deeply inpractical car (2 door, airbags all over the place)
We have booked a trip to India in November.
I am going out every night this week and next, huge amounts of booze to be consumed.
I think that should do the trick

You cannot fail farfall. Every base is covered.

For my own part I realised that I have completely forgotten to take my folic acid this month. Total brain fart. Took the first one this morning. Having spent months taking them pointlessly, I can't fail to get pg the one month I forget, doncha think?

Morning all!

I definitely woke feeling nauseous (at 5 dpo ) which is obviously because I am with child and nothing at all to do with lack of sleep due to being woken with a start at 6.30am by DD counting down the baby monitor at us.

So ladies, I'm off to browse maternity wear and double buggies

Definitely!

I have also started drinking 5 coffees a day just to make sure
Also got a wedding in the south of france in a month. We are driving there (in aforementioned inpractical car) which will be great as morning sickness takes hold.
I am also looking forward to eating loads of unpasturised cheese, shellfish, cured ham, washed down with oodles of Sancerre.

I am also loving all the reluctant DHs on this thread. I thought it was just me.
We are TTC 1 so no excuses about kids getting in the way.
Morning sex is out (DH gets up absurdly early and is at work by 730am). Tried it on this morning at 530am and he actually asked me what was wrong with me. Ha!
Had to contain myself this weekend from saying 'FFS just ejaculate into me you pillock I am ovulating!'

Every day? Every day I ask ya? The only way I am ever going to get updiffed is if my fertile time coincides with a holiday.

Oh god, I hate symptom spotting - it never goes anywhere (for me) and gets my hopes up every single month. I wish I could just ignore slight twinges of nausea/cramps/sore boobs etc until AF was actually late (ha bloody ha, my luteal phase seems to get shorter every sodding month) rather than using them to convince myself that I'm pregnant and then being crushed when I'm not. Although obviously this month I will be pregnant - have just realised that I do actually have a The Timing Couldn't Be Worse Really scenario - I will be going on a hen do in Morocco just when morning sickness will kick in...

Morning all!

Ok, so I have had no sleep. I just lay there, exhausted, but nope, sleep would not come. Then I had the strangest feeling in my back and tummy. So either that's something baby related, or I have just laid the biggest egg in the history of egg laying.

Needless to say, I am now exhausted, sitting at work, not actually doing any work.

farfall I feel your pain. My DH gets up at 5 every other week, then is on the nightshift every other week. And I thought this whole conception thing was meant to be fun.....

I am just going to assume I'm pregnant unless I hear otherwise.

Still pregnant.

@ exhausted from laying a large egg.

I don't know why I am messing around with Stupid Weeing Sticks when I am obviously already pregnant. But just for FUN I thought I'd wee on a stick. For old times sake.

O

Big fat stupid O.

So, forgive my lack of technical terms, but the 1st day of my last period was 17 days ago and I still haven't ovulated according to the Stupid Weeing Stick (tm)?

Do I have to have sex tonight or not?

Go for it, it can't hurt.
It is also possible for the monitors to miss your surge, happened to me this month.
Did a POAS thing with the smiley face and got a positive at 10pm (was negative at 4pm) This morning negative again. So it can be very short indeed.

I didn't ovulate until day 20 this month so you never know, augbergine. However, much like farfallarocks, I tested at about 11am and got a positive then tested again at about 4pm and it was negative, so it might have been that you just missed the surge with the sticks? Can't remember if you are also charting - any hints there?

augbergine?! Opps, sorry.

Fine.

I'll have sex then.

You have my sympathy! We started on day 9 and I didn't ovulate til day 20 . Was so tired...

Lordy. You must have been walking like John Wayne!

It was dreadful, my pelvis actually hurt.

Hahahaha! If it was indeed an egg I laid last night, then its day 21! And I will be chucking a few extra in for good measure. Why oh why do we do it?

I'm giving up on the stupid weeing sticks (tm) this month after they told me I ovulated on day 8 last month and I obviously didn't.

It's day 6 today and the rat smacking starts tonight! I have even circled all the days on the calendar when DH has to perform. So it's official now.

Looks like I'm now definitely getting pregnant next month after all. Bugger. And despite the many symptoms I definitely, definitely had I didn't even get as far as doing a bloody test.

Disappointed. Now I won't be having a baby before my next birthday. An arbitrary deadline I know, but it felt significant. But luckily I'll be getting preggers next month so I definitely, definitely didn't cry on the tube home tonight.

(Although must also now admit to self that me twice lhaving a hissy fit this weekend at my lovely husband wasn't my pregnancy hormones but in fact evidence that I am an evil-tempered little madam. Hmmm)

Anyway, hope everyone else is having a much better day than me and are all still updiffed.

Poor highlove! Don't worry you will definitly be pregnant next month which will ensure a baby in time for you to be able to get drunk at you next birthday

well my symptom for the day is that I managed to twist my foot coming down some steps and now am completely unable to walk. This is obviously a classic case of pregnancy clumsiness (the Latin name for it escapes me just at this moment).

I confess that we also struggle with the getting it on at the right time of the month. Though I am cheered by the fact that when I got pregnant before we had only done it twice noweher near when I had thought I ov'ed. Which just goes to show! I just have to manage to hang onto the next one.

Aarrghh! Sorry for the terrible spelling. I am confined to the sofa typing on my phone with nothng to sustain me except ibuprofen and chocolate! The trauma is abviously gettng to me.

Ah, highlove and hiding you poor lambs. But just think high, you will be pregnant on your next birthday, fit to burst, and able to eat all the cake you want without the slightest bit of guilt

And hiding, twisted ankle AND bad spelling?? Definitely babius branius

Thanks hiding and maybe. And sorry about your ankle hiding. But I guess the chocolate must be a craving, no?
