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.

nothing to see here!

I may sneak in an early test on Sunday but I think I'll only be about 10 or 11 dpo that's what I'll be telling myself if it's a BFN anyway

it might be worth a test, if I've learnt anything from obsessively reading twoweekwait.com it's that spotting doesn't mean much. Fingers crossed for you :) hope it stops soon

I was sure there was someone else due to test...

You lot are TERRIBLE I have been so good and resisting my urge to POAS and then I come on here and bam, tempted again!

The spotting is too late for this to me impantation unfortunately and that combined with lack of SWI makes me pretty convinced AF on its way. Promise I will test tomorrow morning though if I am still not getting proper AF by then.

Just been to the loo for the 8th time in an hour and AF has started with avengeance so I am defo out, BUT properly brooking no argument for next month. So there.

Sorry to hear that farfalla looking forward to your BFP next month / this month now you are on day 1 of your pregnancy

At least the wait is over now farfalla and now your DH has had his pep talk and biology lesson you can get on with brooking no argument.

Ah yes, a lovely end of May baby, perfect.

Wow! That's excellent news MrsB!! Congratulations!!

Farfalla I'm sorry AF has shown her unwelcome face. Point her nose at this thread for a while so that she understands she's not to come back for the next 9 months!!

It's way too early for me to be thinking about graduating, I am in awe of Dream with her super-speedy super-strong line, and Jaggy with her absolute mastery of internet cheapies. I certainly won't be going anywhere until AF is actually late, and my lines are stronger. I'll be working extra hard at brooking no argument whilst I try to get through next week calmly! My usual cycle length would have AF due any time from Mon to Wed, and my unusually long cycle last month would make AF due next Friday, so I want to get right through to the following Monday before I think about graduating or calling my GP!

Looking forward to the upcoming BFPs! Cake you're next are you? Exciting!! Anyone else testing this weekend?

(lunch break over, sigh, catch you ladies this eve)

biscuits I totally understand you feeling worried about getting too optimistic. one step at a time and all that. We're all here to rant at/worry with whenever you're having a bad day.

there you go. Let the itch of the acupressure band take your mind off the worry for a bit.

Now, if mini-biscuit is crumb, it begs the question, what are we going to call mini-cake?

Boo farfalla but agree your end of May baby is a perfect time to have one. Better weather for pram-pushing, lighter mornings etc. Late Spring is ideal - brook no argument!

Shame Farfalla. It's always disappointing when AF arrives even when the chances are slim! Although on the other hand it's always quite reassuring to have a regular cycle.

Let the No Brooking SWI Plan swing into action! I'm still working on mine...

Cakelet? Appreciate that's not actually a real word, but can't think of an alternative crumb-based word!

sounds good to me imps

scream my BFPs were a fairly pale pink too and I'm only on day 10 of a normally 12-13 day LP so I'm hiding here for now too. I might look through the window to see the confirmed p-people....

although I have been advised that POAS every day till I crack open the Emergency CBD (TM - BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF ACTUAL BFP) will not tell me anything, I know I'll be ripping open another cheapie tomorrow

at cakelet . Although I'm not sure I like all of the attention on my testing, it is making me nervous about poas already! I don't think I've been this nervous before, I'm not sure I can follow all of those BFPs! I am also symptom spotting like a loon

May baby sounds lovely farfalla just nice and warm and not too hot

Fret not Cake, we're all brooking no argument in a nonchalent non-psycho way...no need to feel under pressure :)

Ooh, but do disclose your symptoms to date...

Think you are ok for the minute cake, the chair in the middle of an empty room and spotlight with test being chanted haven't been brought into play yet...

yet...

oh, yes what symptoms have you got cake?

I think i'm 5 weeks. That would be why BFP line nice and dark. Just a matter of time for yours to be just the same scream (and jaggy). This does not make you any less preggers!!!!

5 weeks! How exciting you'll be showing in no time dream

Weeeeelllll I have been feeling sick and I've had mild cramps all week plus I am weeing far more than a normal person but I'm undecided as to whether that is illness related or not as it is really too early to be feeling symptoms like that so maybe im just poorly Hasn't stopped me considering pushchairs though

I have seen quite a few cheapies over the months with not even a sniff of a line, so i am fairly convinced. ish. sort of.

CBD to follow, scheduled for Monday or Sunday if I feel brave.

My boobs are absolutely aching today though! I actually took my bra off last night as I was so uncomfortable.

I love the idea of mini-Cake being called Cakelet! Not so keen on the idea of a name related to the word "scream" for any potential offspring of my own! Bit too worried it might turn out to be true!

Am freaking out slightly at the amount of cramps I'm having at the moment. I know that lots of really pregnant people have cramps at the start, and it always seemed perfectly logical to me (when it wasn't happening to me!) now I'm just terrified that the pee stick lines aren't going to get any darker and AF will turn up next week like nothing happened! ARGH!!

No brooking, no brooking, no brooking, no brooking... Right. Got to get this under control. It's a waiting game now (as always!). Just got to keep my cool, and brook no argument!!! (I'm starting to understand why you wise ladies waited until AF was late to test!)

My positive visualisation is now of me wearing effortlessly stylish maternity clothes, wafting about the vomitorium caringly mopping the brows of my fellow preggos, and serenely awaiting my pain-free birth!

After step one - "JUST FERTILISE!" can we add a step 2? "JUST STICK!" perhaps? Would appreciate suggestions, that doesn't have the right ring to it!

JUST GET STUCK IN AND STAY THERE!!!

You sound completely updiffed Cake!! Cannot wait for your confirmation!!! Feeling sick? Mild cramps? Lots of toilet breaks? Definitely preggers!!

Jaggy is it wrong that I'm a little of your achey boobs?! I've been poking mine so much you'd think they'd be achey even if it's for no other reason than the constant prodding! No throwing up today either. Just cramps!! and some dizziness but I had that last month and that didn't turn out so well

I'm sorry ladies - please feel free to give me a NO BROOKING kick up the butt!

Love it Imps!!!
