We are jolly well going to get preggers this month and keep it with some Rat smacking, pom pom waving, baking, visualising and brooking no argument. JUST FERTILISE!

[farfallarocks]

Ladies, here we are.
Let's crack on.

Jaggy I think Dream was having lots of cramps before her BFP, wasn't she? I've heard lots of people say that was one of their symptoms, and in your clearly pregnant state it is a GOOD SIGN. Come on, repeat after me:

What do we want?
Positive pee sticks!
When do we want them?
NOW!!!

OMG scream How are we gonna get through the rest of today not knowing?

Try and wait til tomorrow though. If it was faint this morning, it will probably be fainter now especially at 11dpo. I reckon if you can hang on til then you will get a loud and clear BFP.

I'm soooooooooo desperate to test again now! I'm petrified that it was a faulty test/evap line/figment of our imagination!! Even if the line is just as faint it would help to see it on a second test! It's not morning anymore though, so there might be nothing at all if I test now! Argh!

I'm kind of planning to stay away from the bathroom for the next 4 or 5 hours (if poss!) and then maybe do another test this afternoon just to see if the faint line is still there. It won't be any stronger today, but just having it still there would be awesome!

Oh. My. GOD! Scream! You're at it too! Well done my love! A line is a line etc, therefore you are pregnant (it's just early days, which is why it's faint). Repeat test tomorrow am please to confirm what we already know.

Jaggy you are deffo preggers too - just waiting for pee stick confirmation!

I love this thread - AF has gone so I am going to start the shagging love-making tonight and SMACK THAT PESKY RAT!

I definitely had cramps when pg with DS, just don't remember them being this bad.

One minute I am on here brooking no argument like a champ, hte next I am a quivering knicker checking wreck

Ok symptoms so far...
Tiredness 9which has kind of gone away so maybe I just needed a good sleep!)
Slightly sore boobs and v sensitive nips (possibly due to bfing almost being over as of this week)
Cramps on and off the last couple of days (have had cramps on various days most months though)
Big suspicious temp dip at 8dpo on chart.

Pee sticks you'd better have the right answer when i test or there will be trouble!!

Just an interloper for a minute (following jaggythistle after a comment she made on the BF/TTC thread.

I just wanted to post to say that I smiled so much reading this - everyone's enthusiasm and excitement is rather infectious. I spent yesterday wallowing a bit yesterday after a late AF arrived, but you have all made me smile so much. Thank you and good luck!

Hello Bartlet! (Love the name! I'm sooooo in love with West Wing!) I hope you're going to stick around and join us, especially to see Jaggy's BFP tomorrow!

I very nearly didn't post this message, because it reveals just how crazy-compulsive my need to pee on sticks is! My pathetic attempt at waiting until late afternoon to pee on a stick lasted for all of 3 hours Then I cracked open my new FRER!

The bad news is that the line was even fainter (if that's possible!) than the one this morning. The GOOD news is that even though it's only been three hours, and it's the middle of the day, there was still something there! Again confirmed by DH. I'm soooooooooo excited to have two separate FRERs show a faint shadow!! It's about a million miles from a proper BFP though, so I WILL be waiting until tomorrow morning before peeing on any more sticks! (I have given my one remaining FRER to DH with strict instructions not to give it to me before tomorrow morning even if I beg!!)

The suspense is killing me, I've got ZERO studying done today and it's less than two weeks to my first exam!! ARGH!!

scream

Repeat after me

"I shall not pee on any more sticks until tomorrow morning"

And repeat throughout the rest of today

Great news re the faint line though. I'm soooo excited for you and jaggy tomorrow.

"I shall not pee on any more sticks until tomorrow morning"

I've got a real spring in my step today because of you lot!

Scream - a fiver says you've peed on another stick before 6pm...

I'd just like to draw your collective attention to the fact that this cluster of bfps is just what, 3 or 4 weeks after my (obviously excellent ) BFP tutorial.

I feel very proud of my first class graduates!

Serious though - blooming hood job ladies. We'll be able to charge entrance to this thread if these results continue!

Hello to newbies - and I love the name Bartlett too - another west wing fan

Ooh, very intrigued as to what a "blooming hood job" is - is it like a lot of preggos looting Mamas & Papas with their maternity hoodies up or something??

I'm a massive West Wing fan too...although I can't understand it if I don't have the subtitles on

scream, don't be silly, it was slightly fainter because it wasn't first morning urine, nothing to do with less pg in the afternoon. You KNOW this. Now don't use your next one til tmw am when it will make you really happy!!!!!!

got to go, meant to be in law entertaining, god the grimness....

be back later i hope but friend round for dinner.

scarlet- i had brownish spotting on day 26,so thought af starting, with some cramps. From last period baby due on 20th April, we swi day 9-21 or something, so maybe it was sl earlier than the CD19 or 20 i thought i'd ov'ed on. it was a guess anyway....

at imps and blooming hood jobs - I giggled in the office and now people are looking!

It's ok scream now you have got two pee sticks to agree with you they should all fall into line, like sheep... Or something. Good luck sitting on your hands until tomorrow though!

Glad to hear you got another line scream, enjoy the feeling of impending madness...........
imps I agree about having a spring in my step, I feel all chirpy. I'm only at the beginning of my 2ww here, got aaagggeeesss to go before I can get a bank holiday weekend bfp!

Biscuits you are an excellent teacher!

Jaggy I have had cramps with each pregnancy too, so it's not a bad sign at all (especially as no actual AF)

Imps I snorted at 'a fiver says you've peed on another stick before 6pm'

Come on Scream we can't wait til tomorrow, never mind you!

OK, meant to be working so best bugger off for now.

at Imps' bet that I'll pee on another stick before 6! I would probably agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that DH has hidden my FRER and he's going out for the evening shortly!

Three cheers for Biscuit's tutorial!! My old cycle buddy! I really really hope I'm only 4 weeks behind you!! Fingers crossed.

Dream I know the line is fainter because it's not FMU (the first line this morning was SMU anyway). I just wanted to make sure the first FRER wasn't faulty or some kind of dream lol I'm just happy that there was any kind of mark at all! Now I'm desperately hoping tom will be a stronger line. I've been doing LOTS of positive visualisation hoping that I can make a perfect home for any potential beans!

Have you told anyone apart from your DH your news yet? Are you planning to tell anyone else before 12 weeks? Are you still super excited!?! I hope your DH is going to arrange some sort of celebratory treat for you, like Scarlet's romantic lunch!

Jaggy can we pace the same corner of this room this evening? I think I need some company to stop me from tearing apart the house looking for the FRER!

Eh? Have I missed something romantic lunch? Has my DH been on here and told you of some plans I know nothing of?

D'oh! Sorry Scarlet, for some reason I thought you said that your DH took you out for a celebratory lunch after your doc appointment yesterday. Clearly I am misremembering something else. Apologies!

It's still a valid suggestion though, maybe I should find a way to mention my idea to him? Both you and Dream deserve some celebratory pampering!

Ok, we have scream confirming properly tomorrow. Who is next? All these BFPs have managed to fry my brain and I'm all confused

Thanks to you guys I have got out of bed smiling this evening!

Right Scream you are definitely preggo, can not wait till that BFP in the morning. Definitely step away from the pee sticks as the line will only get fainter till morning. You are not imagining things, especially as DH saw the line too.

Jaggy also very excited to see your BFP in the morning. Scarlet and Dream have started a trend, now all BFPs must come in twos! I'm due mine in about 8-9 days. Anyone with me?!

Imps well done on shagging at the right time, only a few weeks till the BFP

Biscuits well done on helping so many people achieve their BFP you are an excellent mentor on getting updiffed.

Hello to all the new Preggos! Can I just say that this thread is amazing, these past two months have been my happiest and most positive seen TTC. Sorry for excessive emotion must be all the hormones in here

Remember ladies SMACK THAT RAT and dont forget tell that eggy & sperm to JUST FERTILISE!! it's that easy

I've done something stupid.

i got home from work and realised i hadn't been for a wee for ages. so i dipped a cheapie. then i squinted for a while and had almost convinced myself i could see a hint of pinkness. then i decided i was being stupid and went to see DS and DH.

then the stupidest thing, i went back and looked at it. this was about 20 mins after dippage. there's a real pink line. but i've no idea when it appeared. i only squinted for 2 or 3 minutes so it could have appeared any time between 3 and 20 mins.

obviously results after 10 mins are to be disregarded so i have really annoyed myself!

Your pregnancy brain has started early scream although I can see how it caused confusion.

DH, DS and I went to the docs yesterday. DH then went to work. DS and I then went to bakery to buy some yummy sausage rolls and cakes for the 2 of us. Although I suppose it would technically be for the 3 of us now my bean is settling in.

jaggy That's it, that's your BFP!!!!!!

OMG That's exactly what happened with mine yesterday which is why I then ended up using FR and CB.

Ok, I need to calm down. I know you won't be convinced until the morning so we're all just going to have to wait another 14 hours or so. GAH!

Jaggy!!!! That's sooooooo exciting!! You are completely updiffed! I know you're not supposed to count a result that's after the time window, but the window on the cheapies is up to ten minutes I think? So it could easily have appeared within that time and you just didn't see it. Also, none of my internet cheapy BFNs have ever turned positive 20 minutes later - not even the one I did with FMU this morning! (pauses suddenly, wondering if this is a bad sign?)

Let's continue our pacing and stay strong until tomorrow morning! Just 12 hours to go (not that I'll be up at quarter to 6 in the morning, oh no, ahem).
