We are all jolly well going to get pregnant this month and then hang on to it and none of us will brook even the slightest argument

[PaleHandsILoved]

New thread, hopefully not clashing with another new thread! This Is Our Month, Rat Smackers.

This is your month have because you've got your appointment tomorrow haven't you? So you will immediately get pregnant without need for any intervention

No I got one.bfp (the first month I joined this thread) but it ended up being a chemical pregnancy :(
Yes indeed I'm off for Hsg and fanny cam in the morning. Obviously am not quite pregnant because these tests would disturb my bean. I will be pregnant after tomorrow!

I'm sorry about your chemical pregnancy have
Hope all goes well tomorrow - I am an expert in fanny cam and it's not that bad.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow Have This means this is most definitely your month.

I know what you mean Generic I almost went and bought them today, so I could tempt fate. Though I figure seen as I am not technically due AF until Monday, then even if I don't get my BFP on Friday, I will buy conception pregnacare, then most definitely updiffed by Monday.

Just cried at undercover boss. Then found out that parents-in-law have just had one of their dogs put down. Too many hormones

Oh how sad re the dog Maybe

Good thinking re the tempting fate - covers all angles

Thanks Generic. Excellent, I shall take a trip to Boots tomorrow!

Now icing my cakes, but would really rather be in bed with tea. Ah, the symptoms just keep adding up

sorry to hear about the dog maybe, you sound very hormonaly pregnant you poor love.

have good luck for tomorrow, you'll ace it and be up the duff before we know it.

this baking thing is clearly catching as me and ds have made scones today, tres yum they are too.

Thanks Ninja Scones sound amazing. Clotted cream and jam anyone?

Ah of course Have I knew when I asked that question that I was off the mark somewhere and of course it is your appt today - good luck with it all xx

Maybe sorry to hear about the dog

Baking thing must be a sign as I have baked no less than 4 times in the past week and not for yolks before that... Microwave chocolate cake anyone?

Morning everyone else xx

Oh and Maybe my AF due by Monday-ish too so I just need something to tempt fate with too.....

Christ on a bike - what a lot of posts! Right, will attempt to catch up...

Maybe - bloating, baking, crying at "Undercover Boss" - it's SO bleeding obvious! (I haven't included crying re: poor little pooch as that is very sad and even a non-pg would cry at that). Now, you must be very careful about choosing the stick to pee on - you don't want one of the all-too-common pessimistic ones - I think you need to develop a robust screening/interview process for them. One question could be "Do you hate women?" If the answer is "yes" - DISCARD.

Have - very very best of luck with the appointment. You can suspend your pregnancy for a couple of days and then get back on with being pregnant next week.

I've had a massive temp shift this morning! Whoooooooop! GO EGGY! GO EGGY! GO EGGY! . Actually I'm pretty sure that I ov'd overnight Mon/Tues given that I had more ov symptoms on Monday than I did yesterday - I have done some google medical research and the temp can gradually shift over up to 2 days.

I'm still properly bloated though - my stomach was even more humungous yesterday than it was when the Kindly Bus Lady assumed I was pregnant. This really isn't on - I feel like putting up in front of some select committee so that it can be asked some really rather lame questions that it doesn't have to answer robust questions about quite why it feels the need to make me look 7 months gone before my pregnancy has been officially confirmed.

Okay, I'm off to enjoy the first day of spurning caffeine, alcohol, rare meats, undercooked eggs and, err, swordfish in practice for the remaining gestation period.

Imps - good luck - liking the motivational dance for your egg :)

I'm getting a bit fed up with this pg not showing itself properly. This practice month I've had all different sorts of symptoms (sore boobs, back ache, tiredness (although I can't make my mind up if actually tiredness is actually being depressed about the whole ttc thing) - symptoms I've not imagined had before.

But then this morning my temp monitor shows a big old drop off in temperature suggesting that in fact this is another practice month. I don't think I can deal with this much longer :(

Ah Biscuits Don't you be giving up hope yet. I am literally NO expert at the whole charting thing, but can't you sometimes get a drop when implantation occurs? Panic not

Imps I like the idea of this screening process. Kind of like the Apprentice, but with pee sticks, yes? And hurrah for the golden egg. Why can't we be like penguins and let the men look after them?

Very relieved you are not having swordfish for breakfast. Kind of made me want to gag on my oatbran-yoghurt concoction

Interviewing the pee sticks sounds like a very good idea. I may have to take it one step further and put successful applicants through a military style assault course to toughen them up a bit.

CD30 today and my average cycle is 31 days but last month was 43 days so who knows? I may need lots more pee sticks to keep me entertained while waiting for AF.

I won't be spurning swordfish Imps, I'll be gorging on brie, knowing that a positive pee stick is just round the corner so I have to enjoy it while I can.

Well I'm back. I would be in the "Hsg hurts like hell" camp but apparently its because my cervix is quite small because I haven't pushed a baby through it yet! All looks ok, no tube blockages, no.cysts in my ovaries and Hsg increases the chances of getting upduffed for 3 months so clearly its going to this month! Apparently the left one is gearing to ovulate. Come on golden egg! (In a few days there's no way he's getting any action til all the cramps/spotting stylee down!).

Great news Have So there is no way you are brooking any arguement this month! Hope the spotting andpain dies down soon.

Liking the idea of pee stick bootcamp Moose

Oooh oooh ooh can I be the first person to shout "drop and give me 20" at a pee stick??

Good news have! Lovin' the increased chance of conception! This is, like, so totally your month.

Biscuits it's so so hard to keep one's chin up during the TTC ordeal isn't it? Maybe a rousing chorus or two of What do we want? Positive pee sticks! When do we want them? Now! will help?

Sounds like a lot of us are due AF this weekend or Monday so perhaps we should start communal assesment centre for pee sticks?

I quite like First Response (although so chuffing expensive), internet cheapies are ok but hit and miss I found in terms of the line strength. The best and strongest line I ever got was from a brand called Answer from my local chemist. Therefore I will get some more of those!

Serious attack of the mentals this morning, prodding my boobs at my desk, queque this look from my intern
Sitting at my desk thinking 'hhmmmmm can I stomach a coffee or not, clearly not cos I am updiffed'
Also having imaginery conversations with unborn child long the lines of 'You are going to have to show yourself quickly on the preggo tests this month, like 3 days before AF is due because otherwise I will have to get drunK at work do on Thurs and you will have a horrible hangover in the morning'
NUTJOB

havealittlefaithbaby you are clearly brooking aboslutely NO argument this month are ya?

Biscuits - keep your chin up, its just a little prenatal depression you have there in my mind.

Sounds like a plan Farfalla Answer you say, shall have to have a look into this

I actually had a dream about baby maybebaby implanting last night. Quite clearly our pregnancy hormones have gone haywire.

Yes and they were cheapish, £4 for 2!!

Dreaming really is a symptom I think, I dreamt of BFP all the time when I got mine. So now I need to start dreaming an ACTUAL baby.

Zita does recommend visualisation as a powerful tool, might be a bit woo for you but I think there is SOME evidence it has a positive effect.

I am game for anything Farfalla 2 weeks ago, I finally got round to hanging up the little fertility goddess were given on our honeymoon. She is now on my bedside light

Glad to hear the HSG went ok have and you are in full working order. Has your dp had any more SA done since the first one which had the low results? I remember you saying you had put him on a course of man-pills to see if it made a difference. A birthday BFP would be just the icing on the (birthday) cake. I'm hoping for one too although somewhere in between mine and dp's birthday (his is the 28th, af is due around the 30th,mine is the 3rd and our hosp appt is on the 4th, oh and musn't forget dp's folks are down from 29th for the weekend!)
I have managed to do sexing on days 10, 12, 14 and 16 so far so hopefully the bean that has been gestating for the last 15 months will spring into action shortly.
DS is in a pre-school graduation play this afternoon. He is a spaceman and we have covered his wellies in tin foil. I am going to go and be emotional whilst watching him sing. It will be the pregnancy hormones talking of course.
Anyone done any more lovely baking?

DH's next SA is end of AU=ugust (told him we won't be needing it!). I really am brooking NO argument this month! How good is this Zita guru? Should I investigate her?
Ninja watching DS as a spaceman sounds awesome enjoy!
I hope to see multiple BFPs here on Monday then all my lovely preggo (as yet simply unconfirmed) ladies!!
Anyone worked out how many graduates we have had?

so glad everything went well Have. Hope the cramps don't last too long for you and the rat is smacked this month.

farfalla, I've just googled "is dreaming a pregnancy symptom" (god I hope my dp doesn't see this on the computers history, he already thinks i'm nuts), and you're right, it really is a rl pregnancy symptom. Hurray! Cos my dreams have been really crazy and very vivid since Friday night. Also, my weird bleed has stopped after 48 hours. Could it be the fabled implantation bleed? Watch this space.
