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

Oooh missed Farfalla's post. Fingers crossed that FMU does the trick and you get that BFP tomorrow. Enjoy your hold and hope you're having a nice chilled holiday xx

Feel well dodgy now Hmm but that's because I've had pupil dilating drops for my eye test. Kerrrrrrazy......

maybebabyR · 23/07/2011 11:59

I have just had a depressing wardrobe sort out. Why oh why can I not be the same size as I was 5 years ago? Still, something to aim for I suppose Hmm

GenericDietCola · 23/07/2011 12:03

Now, now biscuits maybe and farfalla you are still pregnant in my book. It's not over until the evil witch appears so don't go believing those rebellious pee sticks.

CD6 here and packing off AF for the next 9 months - hurrah! Can't wait for the swi this month

GenericDietCola · 23/07/2011 12:05

Oh how could I forget scream - another BFP to look forward to in the next few days. Hang in there ladies, keep the faith.

TinFairy · 23/07/2011 12:34

maybe, This is my first cyle off the pill (stopped taking it at the end of June). I had been taking it for 2 years or so. I had such awful symptoms this week that even DP (who is ignorant of all things pregnancy related except his input into the process) raised an eyebrow and suggested morning sickness. Seems it was just mental hormones from coming off the pill as I am pretty much back to normal now.

I think I ovulated this month but can't be sure I have a CBFM shag dictator primed and ready for action from CD1, if AF dares to put in an appearance. Bring on the rats....

thelittlefriend · 23/07/2011 13:04

Hi all, just checking in for any BFP's too. Let's get at least one of us waved off over to the antenatal thread this weekend. Good Luck Rat Smackers!!

Patiencedeficit · 23/07/2011 13:13

Watch this space for a BFP - I am certain this time (well almost)! Have a first response waiting in the cupboard... due Wed, will test tomorrow I think. Woke up feeling horribly sick and had to eat an ice lolly. Cravings already?

Farfalla let's compare our BFPs tomorrow - go on, you know you can't wait until Monday...

havealittlefaithbaby · 23/07/2011 13:21

Morning ladies! . I'm feeling much better this morning, 11 hours kip! Started organising house. Ddad is finishing decorating nursery spare room, DH is preparing kitchen for painting.
I'll well impressed with all the nausea/exhaustion/ sore boobs! I have faith ee will see a flood of bfp declarations in the next few days Grin

Biscuitsandtea · 23/07/2011 14:16

Glad you're feeling better Have. Also glad you're back in action for the SWI window Wink

Patience I look forward to hearing confirmation of your BFP tomorrow. Ice lolly = definite craving Smile

jaggythistle · 23/07/2011 16:32

ice lollies were my only craving while pg last time, so a definite symptom there! :)

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 23/07/2011 17:54

Fingers crossed for everyone who's waiting to test over the next few days, good luck to you all! Especially Patience, I hope you'll be announcing your BFP within the next 15 hours or so! With Biscuits Farfalla and Maybe straight after you! Tin Fairy will be the big finale next week!

I have decided that as my last attempt at BROOKING NO ARGUMENT this month I will be tempting fate all over the shop by enjoying a good bottle of rioja this evening! That way it will be truly the WORST POSSIBLE TIMING when I discover next week that I was completely wrong and I am in fact pregnant already! Grin

I am giving up on the deceitful pee sticks for this month though, I get entirely too distressed by their lies. I can tell that AF is just around the corner (she clearly missed my posted dead rattie, next time I'll make sure I send it by email!), so I will await her arrival with a glass of wine in hand. Don't worry I will be jumping right back on the NO BROOKING bus with Day 1 of my assured pregnancy starting early next week!

Who wants to go in with me on a good-cop/bad-cop routine for the pee sticks next month? We'll stick a whole batch in a poorly lit room, strapped to an uncomfortable chair. One of us will get them all scared with images of smacked ratties, whilst the other person can entice them with promises of being framed on the wall and treasured for a lifetime... We can make them work for us!

Biscuitsandtea · 23/07/2011 18:37

Go for it Scream - lets have a bit of ironic BFP action. And if all else fails at least you'll have a darn good bottle of wine!

I have a nice bottle of rose (can't do a fancy accented e sorry Blush) lined up waiting for me for when AF arrives I give birth in 8 months time.

I'd definitely be up for a bit of good cop / bad cop with the pee sticks. They don't frighten me....... Although I did have to get up quickly and wee this morning before I caved Hmm

For those that might have forgotten I am currently CD32 (normal length 28/29) and now 13dpo (last two LPs 13 and 15 days). Literally feeling sick with nervousness about whether I can get through Sunday and Monday and still fight off AF.

Looking forward to BFPs left right and centre tomorrow. Let's go get them Rat Smackers!!!

Patiencedeficit · 23/07/2011 21:06

Biscuits - you sound as preggers as can be. It's only a matter of time before we have your BFP!!

Scream I love your attitude. Enjoy your Wine and thanks for crossing your fingers for me.

Thanks Jaggy - that's just what I needed to hear about the ice lollies. Made me very happy! Grin

Result tomorrow morning - come on you BFP!!

BabySade · 23/07/2011 21:38

Evening rat slackers,

A quick one from me, have just worked two 13 hour shifts in a row & can't wait to crawl in my bed!
No AF for me yet, am day 34 but no BFP. How rude. Am still expecting AF to turn up as have done a CBD & first response. Have found out I've got a uti today (I work in a hospital-handily) so I think that explains my symptoms. Am now on antibiotics so have got a genuine excuse for not drinking Wink

Am really looking forward to the BFP that I'm expecting from nearly all of you tomorrow or Monday!!! GrinGrinGrin Night night

BabySade · 23/07/2011 21:44

He he rat smackers I meant! Damn iPhone autocorrect!! Although rat slackers maybe more appropriate in my case! No slacking next month I promise Grin

GenericDietCola · 23/07/2011 22:18

Can't wait to see your result tomorrow patience

Scream you still could be are pg but in the unlikely event that your rat wasn't smacked, glad to see you have a nice, positive attitude for next month. And quite right re day 1 of pregnancy. I am day 6 already - whoop!

Patiencedeficit · 24/07/2011 07:27

Morning preggos - well, not quite the definitive outcome I was hoping for!! Just POAS and got a BFN. I stared and squinted and turned it and held it to the light and for a second thought I could see a faint line. But then realised it was imaginary... Blush

Have promised myself to wait until next weekend to test again in the hope that AF does not make an appearance on Wed/Thurs! Will be drinking Wine with friends this afternoon so now do not need to find excuses not to have any!! Grin

Biscuitsandtea · 24/07/2011 07:30

Aww Patience only a matter of time to confirm what we know. Is AF not due until Wed/Thur? Do you know how many dpo you are?

Still no AF here but only 14dpo today so not convinced that my obv pg will show itself yet.

If nowt by end of Monday I will test on Tue or Wed....

Morning everyone else xx

Patiencedeficit · 24/07/2011 07:49

Morning Biscuits - good news that you still don't have AF! Will be looking out for your result Tues/Wed.

AF not due here until Thurs I think but was kidding myself it was Wed so I could test earlier... No idea on the DPO thing. My husband works away so it's irrelevant most of the time! He was home on the 9th/10th July so I'm working to those dates! Wink

Just retrieved the pee stick from the bin checked the result again and it's still a BFN...

Biscuitsandtea · 24/07/2011 07:55

Well I'm still definitely keeping fingers crossed for you. Still early early days for testing if not due until Thurs xx

GenericDietCola · 24/07/2011 10:50

Patience - hang on, it's early days yet. Sure you'll get your BFP later in the week.

biscuits - I have very high hopes for you!

maybebabyR · 24/07/2011 10:51

Morning everyone! Sorry about the BFN Patience It's simply too early, that's all. The rat has been well and truly smacked I am sure.

Sorry about the UTI Baby they suck. But then I have also heard that those that are with child have an increased chance of getting UTI

Biscuits glad AF is staying away. Mine is too for now. No more spotting either as of yet. Have woken up with the sorest throat and a really sore eye. More possible symptoms? Grin

Scream I hope you enjoyed your wine. I too had a couple of glasses last night, you know, just to laugh in the face of fate and all that Smile

Glad you sent AF packing Generic Hope you gave her an extra kick as she departed.

Any news Farfalla and any other testers? I somehow refrained from it this morning! Reckon she will appear any day now Hmm

Imps7 · 24/07/2011 12:10

Hello my lovely rat smackers hope you're all having a nice Sunday.

I'm still excited about Positive Pee Stick Monday - seems like you're all still in the game - even you Patience - don't let one measly BFN convince you that you're not pregnant because you so are.

I'm at 5/6 DPO. Had some really weird pant snot earlier - 2 big clumps of primrose yellow (I'm trying to make it sound nicer than it was) CM - not had that before. Do you know what thought crossed my mind for the merest hint of a millisecond - "I should post a photo of that on MN and get people's thoughts". HA HA HA HA HA HA - such disgusting thoughts = clearly upduffed, surely??! Grin

Right, onwards - I have a lot to achieve today and so far have achieved fuck all only a few things on my to do list.

As you were.

maybebabyR · 24/07/2011 12:16

Primrose yellow you say?
I too had this, in fact I still do!
