Sleep well jaggy see you in the morning for your confirmation Grin

maybebabyR · 18/08/2011 21:44

Looking forward to your good news Jaggy hope you manage to get some sleep Smile

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 18/08/2011 22:16

have just been reading all the posts, am utterly exhausted! Grin

see you all in the morning for the test results!

BartletForAmerica · 18/08/2011 22:25

Is it always quite so exciting here? I felt quite breathless at all the happy hysteria (and I don't mean that in a bad way!) Grin

Scream, AF arrived yesterday after being several days late and a few BFNs, so I have used the Mumsnet ovulation calendar and marked the days that we will be SWI in the diary. DH is informed that we are getting pregnant this month and I have bought OPKs and Preseed from Amazon. We are good to go.

jaggy's DH wants to "SFF". What does that mean? For fun?

I'll be back tomorrow with pompoms. I was a big fan of Sweet Valley High as a teenager so am very excited about it!

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 02:06

can't bloody sleep!

been awake for about the last hour and now DH is snoring. grr.

yes bartlett it was 'for fun', i picked that up on here somewhere! he was actually too tired by the time he got to bed!

i got to sleep fine but nothing is working now. am also in the huff as a won't get 3 hours sleep in a row so my chart temp will be rubbish.

right, away to see if grumping on here will help me get back to sleep. :)

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 05:21

eventually got to sleep, then was woken up by DS bellowing 'MUUMMMY' at 4.30. you couldn't make it up!

he went on shouting and added in a request for mummy milk, so i eventually went and got him a drink of water. i reckon he's just thirsty and snottery from having had a cold. now asleep on my knee.

work is going to be fun today after about 4 hours sleep. yawn. Irn Bru to be acquired on way there i think...

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 06:45

me again!

it appears to be an amazon cheapie double confirmation of another rat smacked!

after 11 months of being pissed off i am staring at my pink lines a bit stunned. DH can even see them without glasses on!

Eeeeek!

Biscuitsandtea · 19/08/2011 06:46

YAY!!!!!!! congratulations Jaggy I am so excited for you GrinGrinGrin

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 06:55

Congratulations Jaggy!! It looks like we really did check at the same time after all! Well done!! Fingers crossed for a super sticky bean!!

Unfortunately mine wasn't quite what I was hoping for. There's still a really faint barely-there line on the FRER, but it doesn't appear to have changed at all from yesterday. There's also an even fainter (really super squint territory) line on my internet cheapy. I wouldn't call either of them a BFP though.

It's 12 DPO here, and this is the third faint line I've seen, so I'm really focusing on brooking no argument and trying not to think about chemicals so any positive thinking / no brooking assistance any of you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Biscuitsandtea · 19/08/2011 07:05

Scream I have all my fingers and toes crossed that this sticks for you. 12dpo is still reasonably early to be testing isn't it. I mean not stupidly early but still quite early. When is/was AF due? I know when I googled when to test the Internet advice is something like you should wait until 18 or 19 dpo like who can wait that long?

But in any event I'm super hopeful that this IS your month. Try not to do any more tests today and see if you can get to tomorrow morning before you test again.

And remember - positive people get positive peesticks Smile

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 07:07

surely if you can see a line it's a bfp? brook no argument!

Tbh my AF isn't due till Monday/tuesday so i am worried about testing too early too. :) I will POAS every day i think!

Imps7 · 19/08/2011 07:14

YAY!!!!! A double confirmation of the Blindingly Obvious!! Very well done, ladies Grin Grin

FOUR BFPs in 2 days!!! That has to be some sort of thread record!

Oooh I had a lovely if somewhat rude dream involving Mark Owen last night - my, what a dirty boy he is Blush Grin Still, at least it confirms that he's thoroughly deserving of his place on my Allowed List...

Can I ask a charting question or is now an inappropriate time given the celebrations???

Robotindisguise · 19/08/2011 07:15

Hooray Jaggy! Fantastic news. This is clearly the thread to be on!

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 19/08/2011 07:22

Imps7 · 19/08/2011 07:24

Scream a line is a line is a line. BROOK NO ARGUMENT.

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 07:30

Eeeek! Okay, well, in the spirit of BROOKING NO ARGUMENT I decided to break out my CBD. When I first tested this morning the lines on the FRER and the internet cheapy were so faint (painfully painfully faint) that I thought it wasn't worth trying the CBD. I've read online that the clearblues aren't as sensitive as the FRERs and internet cheapies, and I didn't want to upset myself with a BFN when waiting to tomorrow might give a better answer.

BUT then I decided to think positive, and just go for it! So I cracked it out and: Pregnant! 1-2 weeks!

Still very scared, particularly because it's a worrying sign that the FRER test isn't any darker than yesterday. It's literally so faint that at first glance you wouldn't even think anything is there at all. My DH had a right old squint at it this morning and eventually conceded that there is something there.

Argh!! So nervous!! Please help me stay sane positive today ladies!!

I now have only one CBD left, and no FRERs. In the interest of not bankrupting myself I will be hanging on to the CBD and trying again tomorrow morning I might also buy one more double FRER packet and use it over the weekend as well AFwould normally show up any time next week, could be Monday but to match my longest ever cycle it would arrive on Friday, so I'm focusing on getting past next week without letting her in!

CakePigeon · 19/08/2011 07:36

Hooray jaggy and scream Grin scream a line is a line and if in doubt, bin it and concentrate on your CBD result, actual words are pretty irrefutable I reckon

Grin at imps mark Owen? Really?! Haha! ask away about charting

Biscuitsandtea · 19/08/2011 07:39

Yay Scream Grin and your plan for saving the other CBD until tomorrow sounds v good. Did you still use FMU on your CBD? GrinGrin again

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 07:42

Technically it was SMU on the CBD, but really I would count it as FMU simply because I didn't eat or drink anything between the FRER test at 6.45, and the CBD test around 7.30.

Grin at Imps' Mark Owen fantasy!

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 07:50

CONGRATULATIONS jaggy and scream !!!!

jaggy, if you've convinced internet cheapies you are amazingly well pregnant Grin scream, i think CBD are more responsive than FR- they have been for me in the past anyway.

YAAAAAAYYYYYY

Blimey, this is all a bit too exciting.

I have joined you on the sleepless night jaggy on account of Nerves and a Wobble... I've had some crampy lower abdo pain, but no bleeding or anything but i shall indeed be buying CBD asap and hiding the evidence from scroogy dh who says don't be ridiculous, unless Something Happens you're pregnant don't waste money

Grin Grin at deny and bartlet the doctors doing multiple tests. I shall in fact take that as medical advice to do more than one and ignore my dh- after all, they say don't take medical advice from your nearest and dearest

Hope the rest of you ladies are all ok and Brooking No Argument for this month

and imps, mark owen!!! you have made a nervous person giggle.

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 07:52

scream, don't worry about the FRER

Imps7 · 19/08/2011 08:14

Mark Owen? Yes please! Who wouldn't?? He's been my celebrity crush of choice for more than 20 years...some would call that love!

Scream you've had 3 faint lines and a "pregnant" - seems pretty clear that you're UP THE DUFF!!!!!

My slightly dull charting question is this - I had a temp rise this morning, but not a very big one. I don't chart when I've had a drink the night before as that artificially pushes my temp up - last night I didn't have anything, and it was 36.41, as opposed to 36.32, 36.30 and 36.28 for the preceding three nights. Last month it jumped up to 36.58 the day after OV. (I would post a link but for some reason FF isn't working just now).

So the question really is - does a small 0.1 shift still mean that it's likely I OVd? This may not be an answerable question of course - but just wondered if anyone has a similar pattern.

scarletfingernail · 19/08/2011 08:23

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Massive congratulations to both jaggy and scream

What an exciting few days for this thread. jaggy I really feel for you having to work today, it must be the last place you want to be right now what with having no sleep and then your confirmed BFP.

Scream If you use your remaining CB digi tomorrow, it will say pregnant 1-2 weeks, the same as the one you used this morning. As there are no lines to compare you won't see anything different. So, try and relax and enjoy your day. You are definitely pregnant, there is now no doubt!

dream I've been the same as you. I'm crampy in the same place and driving myself mad. I'm trying to steer clear of the CB digis this time as I find they make my anxiety even worse. (Bad experiences of the weeks not increasing made me ill with worry in past, before I'd even had anything to worry about). I know it's tempting, I just wish they'd never invented those ones, sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Grin at Imps and Mark Owen. I used to be more of a Robbie girl myself, but the last couple of years have been more swayed to Gary Barlow Blush.

I think I mentioned on here before that I once had a sex dream about Johnny Rotten. Actually it was more like a nightmare....

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 08:34

I've convinced 4 internet cheapies now.

Did I mention the one I did before bed last night and din't tell you about Blush It had a wee faint line too.

Yup, so not in a working mood and I am working the weekend too, monday/Tuesday off though.

I work with my friend who I chat to about all my Bfing/ttc stuff and she was literally jumping about for joy this morning Grin

BartletForAmerica · 19/08/2011 08:34

Congratulations jaggy and scream! Wonderful news.

My DH thinks I'm a bit odd because I just had to share the news with him too. To be fair, "some people on the internet are pregnant, no, I don't know who they are" is a little strange. Grin
