Hi chaps, can I join? I'm fed up with symptom spotting and periods. This month I'm just going to be pregnant, if that's alright with you

Imps7 · 18/08/2011 07:20

Of course that's okay with us Robot! Congratulations on your pregnancy!!

So tell us your story! (if you want to that is - I'm not going to shine a lamp in your face and start interrogating you or anything)

scarletfingernail · 18/08/2011 07:58

Oooohh bacon for me please Imps I'm hoping baby Scarlet doesn't go off nice food. When I was pg with DS I couldn't eat red meat or veg without feeling sick.

I had another BFP this morning and the line on my cheapie was much darker. It's still not really sunk in yet, I'm just hoping that anxiety doesn't take over like it did when I was pg earlier on in the year. Just need to keep up with the positive visualisation.

Welcome Robot you are just days away from your BFP.

dream have you tested yet?

dreamfeeder · 18/08/2011 08:32

BFP BFP BFP BFP BFP BFP BFP BFP!!!!!!!!!!

So I got to grips with the pipette- on looking at it, pipetting 3 drops of wee into the well bit and watching the box with the convenient 'c' and 't' marked was not exactly rocket science. And I take back anything derogatory i said about why can't i just dunk it, it was a pg test that knew I was brooking no argument and i like it a lot now!!!!! Bloody big dark positive line pronto.

scarlet, of course it's still positive, you are Brooking No Argument about anything else Grin I have joined you with the shakes....

Delighted is all I can say Grin

Hi robots, but of course you are pregnant, pull up a ramekin and help yourself to a bacon butty

And imps, you'll have swimmers like farfalla which could cross the channel if need be, it's in the bag!!!

BabySade · 18/08/2011 08:36

dreamfeeder · 18/08/2011 08:59

Thanks everyone!

If anyone would like to know the What I did Differently its not as good as scarlets but is:

  1. The Shagathon- cover all bases, day 9 to day 21 with 2 nights off only
  2. Used Pre-seed with the applicators for the first time (and in fact had an email from amazon asking me to rate the product so could add to all the misleading 'i got pg first month with this' reviews--)

Think thats it. So excited. Can't help getting carried away and thinking of due dates etc etc. And scarlet too Grin. And the biscuit crumb on its scan yesterday Grin Grin

NinjaChipmunk · 18/08/2011 09:03

Mines a bacon and egg sandwich please with runny egg, and a bit of red sauce. Mmm lovely.

I'm not sure I can wait another 12 days to confirm my own bfp!

GenericDietCola · 18/08/2011 09:05

Go Dream! Great news and we knew it all along! Glad to hear you're still positive too Scarlet (but why wouldn't you be?)

I feel very proud of my cycle buddies and not a bit jealous!! This month I am brooking no argument and will be swi every day until I get that BFP! You are an inspiration!

CakePigeon · 18/08/2011 09:07

Ok guys, this thread is working. Who is testing next?

jaggythistle · 18/08/2011 09:14

all this BFP action is making me a bit keen to join in. Still waiting to try out the Amazon cheapies on Firday though. or maybe tomorrow.

This thread rocks Grin

munkiii · 18/08/2011 09:22

Grin congratulations Dream

Wow what an inspirational thread!

jaggythistle · 18/08/2011 09:43

I am getting a wee bit hopeful this month.

Just to elaborate on my Worst Possible Timing scenario. The Big Night Out i mentioned...the entire staff of my work are invited, so they would see me Clearly Not Drinking. Could the timing be worse ??? Grin

It's awfy exciting in here this week!

Robotindisguise · 18/08/2011 10:03

Congratulations Dream, that's fantastic! Thank you for the bacon butty, they're thin on the ground around here as I'm married to a veggie...

Thank you Imps - I have a lovely DD watching Mr Tumble at the moment, we have been TTC since January - although only 4 "real" unsuccessful months as I wasn't very well mid-year so we stopped for a bit. So this is month 5. I'm on day 3 of my period so about to embark on the rat-smacking once again!

So then - preseed. Haven't tried it before. Should I?

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 18/08/2011 10:04

Okay, can I tell you ladies something? (This is way way too premature and I really hope you're not going to be exasperated with me!)

So I tested this morning at 7 a.m. with an internet cheapy (I'm a compulsive early tester!) and it was a clear and definite BFN. I was disappointed obviously, but it's 11 DPO here so I was still BROOKING NO ARGUMENT for the weekend.

Then I came on here a bit later and was completely inspired by Dream's amazing result!! (Well done Dream!!). It completely fired me up, but then I desperately wanted to test again!!

So I convinced myself that First Response is actually more sensitive than the internet cheapies, and I decided (foolishly of course - I told you I'm a compulsive early tester!) to have another go with my last remaining FRER.

Well this time, after just a minute or 2, I thought there might be the faintest teeniest tiniest little line. Seriously, the line is so faint I honestly thought I might be hallucinating a line through sheer force of wishing!!!

So I took the test straight over to DH and he agreed there's a really faint line!!!! (I did check that the place where he thinks there might be a line is the same as the place where I think there might be a line - just in case it was a joint hallucination!!)

So now I'm even more worked up!!! I DESPERATELY want to test again but obviously it's pointless before tomorrow morning. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Okay this was a completely pointless post because there's nothing you lovely ladies can do about this, and I can't even figure out how to upload a picture of the imaginary world's faintest hint of a possible line. I will have to get another FRER today just to see if it's an evap from a faulty test (or a joint hallucination cause by lack of breakfast!) I will be trying again properly in the morning though.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Can't sit still now! I want it soooooooooooooooo badly!!!

Robotindisguise · 18/08/2011 10:05

Buy a clearblue digital for the morning. Or you'll do your eyes in!

Until then, you're clearly pregnant so get on with glowing!
