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!

[ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster]

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!

oh yes dream do not worry, he will be called in to action for the next few days!

(I will similarly be insisting on action... despite having no idea of when/if i'll ov)

Have enjoy your date!

Little great news - so glad you are ovulating - get to it!

Maybe sorry you got upset, but it's good that you got it out of your system ready for the NO BROOKING from now on.

Dream, Little and Scarlet we are all cycle buddies or thereabouts (so what am I doing on the computer when I should be doing DH something else?)

oooh, cycle buddies, exciting! I should be doing DP something else too, but he's outside talking to his mate about putting electricity in the shed. Meh.

LOL little men are very strange

hey y'all.

i have just made the official World's Ugliest Cake. hope it tastes way better than it looks. it is just a test production for one I'm making for a special occasion though.

only cd 7 or something, just away to commence rat smacking again today i reckon. every other day plus a bit more at ov time. then I'll be ready to confirm that pg.

biscuits I'm sure your friend will be happy for you even if she is a bit :( too.

Hi MrsB. hope you enjoy brooking no argument too. :)

MrsB hello! None of this It will happen when it happens here - it already HAS happened!!! You already are preggers!!!!! You just need to find a pee stick to endorse you! I wish you all the luck in the world.

10 DPO - nothing here. Nothing at all. Dull dull dull dull dull.

Welcome MrsB I hope you've been buying some positive pee sticks, get yourself settled in and if you see a rat, smack it.

Generic, Dream and Little I hope you're all brooking no argument over the weekend. Not sure what day I'm due to ovulate, although I'm on CD11 I've had no signs yet.

lol scarlett, i know just what you mean. While consulting futility fiend i may have taken some notes on CM to try and get a handle on when I ov and I don't think I'm there yet (though by no means certain of anything . DH's comment was just 'bloody hell, we're trying to get knocked up not write a lecture on it'. so will let DH off tonight.

Loving having cycle buddies, we can 'egg' each other on even more

This weekend I will be BROOKING NO ARGUMENT in a nonchalent and non psycho way

Evening all,

Hope those of you out on dates & rat smacking are having fun. I'm home alone tonight as DH is in London for work.

Welcome MrsB congratulations on your soon to be confirmed BFP

Glad you have had some good news little get rat smacking!!

Imps 10 DPO, not long till we get confirmation of baby fedex's due date. That's not dull at all

generic would take more than a change of clothes for me, doubt DH would even notice that... maybe that's why i go for the 'oi! it's time to get on with it' approach?? oh, the romance in my marriage

Love love the positivity on this thread, thought I'd update you on my stats. Cd~13, ucl 29\30, just hope I get that positive test this month like you ladies predict....
One question? Smacking the rat????

Hello all am back from Happy Popper :) twas marvellous. Not sure spur the 3D found it rather distracting. Can see it being good for animations though. DH has suggested 'Bellatrix' for a girl....interestingly I like the name in theory, doubt poor dc could pull it off though...
Hello to Mrsb terribly nice to have you here! Congratulations, by joining this thread you are, of course, preggers :) 'rat smacking' refers to the .original thread where someone said 'Getting pregnant is just like playing smack the rat'! Anyone remember who?!
your bfp is only a positive pee stick away made me laugh so much DH asked me what was funny!
little that's fantastic.news, start flexing your rat smacking muscles.

Also... pregnancy symptoms update: my boobs are getting bigger, bra starting to feel tight as they have done every month since ttc which clearly shows I'm upduffed!

Hello, I was on your other thread so thought I'd join this one if I may? My period would be due on Sunday, if I wasn't already pregnant that is, which of course I am. Symptoms include:
Tender and heavy breasts
Vivid dreams every night
Apart from breasts, lack of other af symptoms, which I often have by now in my cycle
Someone said on the other thread that itchy skin is a sign, and my neck and face have been really itchy today
I think that all points conclusively to a pregnancy!

Hiya sims welcome to the new thread. Yeah you're definitely pregnant. Not tempted to poas yet?

ooh i had really odd dreams last night. only on cd8, but clearly v pregnant already...

I have the last few nights. I'm 5dpo so must be a sign for all of us!

Morning! And welcome Sims - your bump is positively burgeoning.

Had a very weird dream last night too!! This is a clear and certain sign of pregnancy!

I may start my morning POAS routine today - I have so many of them so why not? Surely they can't all be faulty.

Hope you're all well and blooming this morning. Still waiting for today's testers. Are there any? xx

Quick update here: AF is now fully present, so it is in fact day 1 of my pregnancy today. Trying not to be gutted, it does particularly suck that this means I have a new longest cycle length of 29 days.

Anyways, I hope some of you preggos will be cheering me up shortly by confirming your BFPs this morning! Imps? How's it going in there? Maybe how did the FMU work out? Who else is testing today? Fingers crossed for all!

have - no poas for me, not til at least wednesday. A couple of times in the last few months I have got really excited and poas loads thinking I'm preg and not been, so it's just been a waste of money. Plus I think I've been stressing myself out and making my cycle longer than usual. So this month I am trying not to stress, and will wait til I'm properly late. Then I will of course get my bfp and be able to say, 'silly me, i could have tested days ago!'

Sorry to hear that, Scream, but maybe longer cycle means nice long luteal phase for some really good implantation action? This is your month!

A BFN from me as expected. I won't even blame this pee stick as I am still only 10 DPO (I thought it was 10 yesterday but Futility Fiend assures me it wasn't). But in other news, I have 3 spots. This would normally be a Bad Thing as I am in attendance at a wedding tomorrow and of course wish to look my ravishing best, but in circumstances where skin break out = A Clear and Certain Symptom, this news is in fact a Good Thing.

Sorry that your monthly gestational bleed has started Scream - time to plan some new and cunning ways in which to smack that rat.

Where's Maybe and her ramekin of FMU???
