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.

Tin I still reckon the Internet ones are more sensitive and if there was a line there at 5 mins then it looks v positive (no pun intended) but might take a few days for FR to get the idea

Like your fancy ramekin xx

excellent usage of ramekin there tinfairy I like your style. I can't believe I went to bed and you lot have been soooo active I've woken up to 2 nearly confirmed bfp's! Well done moose also.
Day 18 in the Ninja house (said in a big brother stylee) and ninja is at work and bored already. Another 9 or 10 days to go till bfp day. I can see MN getting a lot of usage today.

I have a sore throat and runny nose maybe, I caught a cold from dh. However before the cold I just had a runny nose which is apparently a definite pg symptom.

It's an hour since a got the faint line, only 23 to go until I can test again, that's a VERY long time, how am I going to survive?

Ooooooo! So exciting! Fingers crossed for Moose and Tinfairy - clearly the message of NO BROOKING is getting through to those rebellious pee sticks!! Keep up the good work, the time to break out the CBD is just around the corner!!

Also loving Tinfairy's inventive use of ramekins! I was in the home baking section of a shop a few weeks ago (right around the time my pregnancy-induced baking craze set in) and I spent several minutes standing by the ramekins trying to figure out if I would ever use them if I bought some. In the end I didn't buy them - clearly I lack your creatively and flair!

Maybe I also have a runny nose!! Clearly it's another symptom of the horrendously bad weather this week our upduffed status!

Hurrah for a runny nose as another symptom! I have decided that if I don't get a BFP this monthy, I am going to write a book of symptoms to while away the next 35 days

I don't think I have much resolve. I am strong and don't do one in the morning, but then for no reason I will decide to do one when I get in from work after having consumed vast amounts of fluid. I will not do that tonight though, promise.

I'm bored too Ninja I have nothing to do today, apart from try and convinve my boss to let me have a few days off before my holiday under the pretence of writing a report.

I want to be at home with tea away from the miserable grey skies. But then if I was at home, I would only start baking again

Come on pee sticks!
We definitely need a BFP, we have 21 pages on this thread!

AF due tomorrow (well should be but who knows as this is the WTF cycle)
Meant to be part of the Monday pee test crowd, obviously done it twice already. Stupid pee sticks say saying BFN, even when I dismantled it, pulled out the strip and held in various different lights to be the point I could see all sorts of lines and even a giraffe!!

You are all so funny I am gaffafing at my desk and getting these looks all round

Seprately, I love this look and wish I could actually make it in real life

But this would mean shaving off an eyebrow Farfalla Try and explain that one at work

And the pee sticks are just making you wait. The way I look at it, the day before you get a BFP is always going to be a BFN. That probably makes no sense, but in my obviously baby-befuddles brain, it does

Ah yes fair point.
Do you think it is a conspiracy to just keep us buying those damn pee sticks?
I have made myself a promise not to test again till Sunday.
I have never had an addictive personality before..........

Neither have I! I am normally Miss Practical, laid back and serene. But when it comes to weeing on a stick, oh no. I have turned into a lunatic.

farfalla at your pee-stick giraffe!

I wrecked the one I did on Monday. I though there was a wee fluff on the plastic window that might be concealing a very small line, so I tried to brush it off. I just ended up squishing the test a bit so I had to take it apart to inspect it too. It was the 'N'iest BFN ever.

My friend (and workmate) that I talk to about ttc has pointed out that clearly baking is a symptom - we've all got buns in the oven This was after I tried to explain the brooking no argument thread to her!

Only 563487568347253 knicker checks so far today...............

Hmmm...knicker checking is a behaviour I hadn't even considered. So I've just nipped to the loo for a squizz. Makes an interesting diversion from prodding my boobs every 2 minutes. Can't figure out if my boobs are actually sore in a baby making way; or just bruised from all the poking.

Ok, so knicker check revealed a slightly pale yellowy brown discharge (apologies to anyone enjoying some home baking for elevenses). How are we rating that on the 'how preggo are you scale' of updiffedness?

Tin I am so pleased you asked about CM. Mine has gone all weird on my too, definitely yellowy. A bit like snot. Way way way TMI, but you know, we like to share don't we! Don't we?

Hmm not sure - do we have a scale?

I'm not sure if my boobs just feel a little funny because this early shift means DS doesn't have his morning bf - it's the only one he bothers about these days so my body might just be confused.

How annoying is it that funny symptoms for ERTD and pg are so darn similar? I was all excited about my sensitive nipples a few times until I figured out that they often felt funny around ov and AF too.

Something Should Be Done About It, same as the wrong pee-sticks scandal.

Of course all our symptoms are long term gestation symptoms and not AF sypmptoms.

I have back ache. And a tingly belly. Got to be pregnant.

or maybe I just need a wee?

I'd say pregnant. But you should still go for a wee.

on the subject of wees i did do an awful lot of them yesterday, so definitely pregnant I think.

Me too! Am starting to wonder where it is all coming from.

The symptoms on this thread are amazing - frequent urination, sore tits, baking, weird dreams.

Not only I am knicker checking but practically shoving whole loo rolls up my fanjo and seeing what comes out.

I really used to be normal you know, chilled out and pretty cool.
I am now a nut job of the highest order.
Maybe we should start at - We are jolly well going to get preggers in a nonchalant, non psycho way and we will BROOK NO ARGUMENT'

this work malarky is very boring. Is it lunchtime yet?

That is so the name of the next thread, copyright farfalla

Seen as you brought the subect, I too have been checking to see what comes out of the old hoo-ha. Only I did this last night after cutting chillies for dinner. Mark my words rat smackers, this was not a clever idea.

natural yogurt for you my dear?

Wow it's busy in here. A lot has gone on since I finally fell asleep last night! (have not long finished night shifts & have turned into a vampire).

Fingers crossed for Moose & Tin (sorry don't know how to make it bold on my iPhone)

I got a BFN on a cheap Internet test at 6 this morning & as it was clearly wrong also used my FMU on a CBD (I have been saving this for 5 months). Surprise surprise it was a BFN. Now I will have to add more emergency CBD's to my shopping list

Thanks for your reassurance that I am in fact preggo Biscuits. Hello Scream, thank you for the welcome. Also thanks for that link to the two week wait website, I can't wait to get stuck into that while having a cup of tea & some homemade lemon cupcakes.

By the way ROFL at auto correct for my name. Am new to the whole IPhone & have made a few serious mistakes when texting

I also use a ramekin for peeing on a stick, I feel it helps me feel slightly classier when messing around with my wee most mornings

I am starting to use up all my ramekins useless dishes as after using them for a bit I throw them away. I've come up with a ridiculous theory that repeated washing of them is somehow affecting my results. am slowly going mad

at emergency CBDs Baby

I use an old cup to pee into. Poor DH got a bit confused one day, as I had been drinking tea out of a similar cup, and left a bit in the bottom on the side of the bath. Needless to say, he freaked out until I explained to him it was tea, not wee.

I am so bored at work, and sooooo hungry
