Conception

When's the best time to get pregnant? Use our interactive ovulation calculator to work out when you're most fertile and most likely to conceive.

We are all jolly well going to get preggers this month in a nonchalant non-psycho way, and hang onto it, and there will be no brooking of any argument whatsoever!

Welcome across Rat Smackers! Glad you found the place okay. This is THE MONTH when we get those deceitful pee sticks to own up to the BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS - we are all already preggers! After all; positive people get positive pee sticks!

I hope you all like what I've done with our new home

You'll note the updated title, courtesy of farfalla. Various healthy snacks have been set out on the coffee tables, to ensure our bumps are receiving the appropriate nutritional balance

Also, my personal favourite adjustment, you'll note the strategically positioned peephole, right here, providing us with a sneaky preview of the utopian delights awaiting us in the NO BROOKING vomitorium ante-natal thread.

So let's get to it preggos! Remember: see a rat - smack it!

Loving Have's drunk post last night!

There was more swi here last night so I'm sure a swimmer has reached my egg now. And I got the pineapple juice and have had a glass yesterday, today & will keep going until my bfp. Actually, is a glass a day enough?

Yes, where is maybe?? And where the hell has bloofer gone?

Hi Tin glad to see you are brooking no argument and remaining positive now that you are on day 1 of your pregnancy! Sometimes it is nice to see that old aunt, now you know where you are you can smack that rat good and proper this month.

Have sorry about your morning sickness - when will you be confirming? Not long now is it?

Little and dream we are so on track for our simultaneous BFPs after all the SWI effort fun

Maybeeee? are you at the wedding? Hope all is well.

Thinking of ninja too - I just know it's going to be good news for you this weekend!

mrsb33 · 30/07/2011 15:41

Afternoon ladies, confusion rains in our fertile home at the moment. Day 14 last of cm, and ovulation pains, 2 lines on the ov sticks but cbfm still saying 2 bars?? What the hells going on???
Got my hubby taking well man vitamins now! Bless him, he really isn't impressed!! Hope everyones well 2day, any bfp,s yet??

Biscuitsandtea · 30/07/2011 15:59

MrsB I think the phrase here is 'See a rat? SMACK IT'

Tuts impatiently at everyone else's restraint in not testing today.

havealittlefaithbaby · 30/07/2011 16:03

Af is not due 10th August. Currently shopping in my old home town :)

Biscuitsandtea · 30/07/2011 16:06

You're off the hook for now then Have. Hope your morning sickness has gone off a bit now Wink.

Must be weird being back in your hometown. I left my hometown at about 18 and have never really been back now as my parents moved away a few years after that Would be v odd to be there now.

havealittlefaithbaby · 30/07/2011 17:51

My gran is here but parents left 5 years ago. Can't say I'm missing too much! Feel good now :) had food and drink. Bought nowt though!

GenericDietCola · 30/07/2011 20:54

I've made some honey, oat and raisin cookies - help yourselves.

Have hope you're having a nice day out.

Biscuits I'm glad you're still here, it's nice to see you

thelittlefriend · 30/07/2011 20:58

Generic I'm here! I have also giving my dh a night off tonight, in the hope that the past few days have been a success. (One more for luck tomorrow maybe!) I feel we are scarily in tune this month Ta for the cookie.

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 20:58

Maybe, I can't believe you're making us wait so long! Surely a wedding wouldn't stop you sending us a very quick little post?! Hope you're having a lovely time though. did you poas, preferably fr this morning?

Ninja, getting all geared up for your bfp tomorrow Grin. I have a positive feeling that rat got well and truly smacked this month.

mrsb, get on the job!!! we shall await your confirmation soon.

and biscuits, i can't tell you how frustrated i am that i'm not even on the 2ww yet... how can this be me?! First time around i wasn't worrying about it til I was a few days late, THEN bought a stick to wee on -and woke my DH up by rushing into the bedroom at 7am shouting "bloody hell i'm pregnant!" he still remembers THAT moment well. This time even DH is saying do you think you might be pg yet? err, no, i don't think i've ov yet!!!!!

have, hopefully you'll have parted with some pennies by now and cheered yourself up from your morning sickness Smile

GenericDietCola · 30/07/2011 21:01

Little so nice to see you and I feel reassured by our symmetry! Will go for one more for luck tomorrow as well.

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 21:01
dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 21:03

generic, brook no argument should you think it necessary. Wink DH is NOT getting a night off over here. Having said that, your rat is probably smacked, I think I may be slightly behind you with my bfp...

thelittlefriend · 30/07/2011 21:04

dream you cannot fail with that plan!

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 21:05

i'm thinking about being left out of the mutual bfp and feeling very unreasonably Sad about it!!!!

still, shall not be too far behind you into the vomitorium...

thelittlefriend · 30/07/2011 21:06

dream you are not being left behind!!! Do you chart or anything to predict your ov date?

thelittlefriend · 30/07/2011 21:11

dream i've looked back through my notes and seen that you had a curry last night to seduce your dh. Well that's exactly what happened in the Little Household too. We are very synchronised, as will our bfp's be

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 21:23

little, feeling much better now am reassured i'm in synch. Not charting yet (don't have thermomter) but have consulted Futility Fiend and taken notes (to DH's amusement and dismay) and am trying to monitor my CM. and swi daily regardless

thelittlefriend · 30/07/2011 21:28

I don't chart either and my dp finds it ridiculous that I know so much about ttc / pregnancy. Yet more evidence of our synchronicity!

GenericDietCola · 30/07/2011 21:34

V much looking forward to our synchronised BFPs!

Biscuitsandtea · 30/07/2011 21:43

I'm very impressed by your synchronicity!

And also oddly impressed by Little's note taking. I have an image of Little diligently filing everything into rows of matching lever arch files....

GenericDietCola · 30/07/2011 21:48

Ooh I don't chart or anything either!

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 22:12

Oh!!!! little and geeric, we're SO all getting our bfp's together!!!

dreamfeeder · 30/07/2011 22:17

also little, just looked at you profile, i'm also 28 and wolf hall is next for me to read. Our happy, swi, non-charting, synchronised trio will wow this thread after the 2ww Grin

havealittlefaithbaby · 30/07/2011 22:19

Hello all. I am home. I am exhausted!
hangover morning sickness cleared by lunch. D'you know I didn't spend any money. I didn't really need anything and I spent a small fortune last night so it was good really.
Granny definitely declining, her memory is getting worse. I assessed her (that's what I do as part of my job!) and she wasn't great
