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

Hello maybe, we've all been wondering when you're back!! What a lovely rosy glow you're sporting

minesa smacked a rat and got a BFP, we're waiting to hear from scarlett and scream to confirm soon, and I'm crossing my fingers i will too though i have a nasty AF-y feeling today

GenericDietCola · 16/08/2011 12:47

Hi Maybe good to see you back and my you are looking well! Glad your AF finally showed her face (well not glad, but you know what I mean). Great idea to relax a bit about it all this month and just get smacking.

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 13:15

Oooh Maybe you're positively glowing - blooming, some might say. Welcome back! Very glad to see that you are refusing to brook any kind of argument this month.

Scream I concur with the other wise preggos - you just tested too soon. That pee stick will be surrendering to your demands in just a few more days. Same goes for you Scarlet and Dream - although I am detecting an undercurrent of brooking from you Dream - stop it now! The say isn't "Brooking people get positive pee sticks", it's "positive people get positive pee sticks".

The snail trail is here good and proper. Shame OH isn't! If we can manage a Thursday morning shag we might be in the running, but I'll not hold my breath.

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 13:25

Right imps, I will be positive. After all AF will NOT be turning up as I am clearly, clearly upduffed. It's just a matter of timing it so the deceitful pee stick doesn't lie to me. Which it won't. babydream is in there as we speak Grin
Now, on another important matter, you seem to be the decorating guru, I have tried to paint a radiator, third coat on this morning, and it looks SH*T. I tried to do it thinly, but it has run, and dried like that, and looks possibly worse than before i started. Fancy popping over and sorting it out for me??
You must also be positive and seduce the hell out of OH on thurs morning.

And where is scarlet today?!

Now, i must get a fresh nappy on DD and head off to a sure-to-be-hellish 3 year old's party on a rainy day- sugared up, indoor toddlers.... Especially as DD will want to join in AKA break my back and knees some more with constant walking round holding a finger trying desperately to be one of the children....

jaggythistle · 16/08/2011 13:26

Someone at work must be reading this thread - we have RL shortbread.

Well I had a big temp dip on my chart today and I am claiming it as an implantation dip and further evidence of updiffedness. (only a tiny bit scared that a super early AF might arrive)

Only 7dpo it's tooooo looooong to next week.

Hi Maybe nice to see you back.

Come on you BFPs....

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 13:28

oooh jaggy, no, your tiredness and temp dip = baybeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! You're preggers!!!! only 7 days to wait!!!

jaggythistle · 16/08/2011 13:28

actually more likely 6, my LP is normally 12 or 13 days, I haven't reached 14!

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 13:30

Oooh radiator painting - I've not tried that before. You may need to sand the drips away - alternatively you can claim that they were part of the intended design. As another alternative you can buy and install new radiators, but I guess that might be going a little too far.

Jaggy congratulations on the implantation dip! Great news! Only 37 weeks until LittleJaggy's arrival!

maybebabyR · 16/08/2011 13:41

Ah, it's so nice to be back everyone!

I have my positvity hat on, and nothing is going to knock it off, oh no.

Hurrah for temp dip Jaggy

Looking forward to hearing of confirmation of all BFPs any day soon!

Radiators are tricky Dream I agree with Imps about the sanding.

Excellent news on the pant snot Imps Hope you get your Thursday AM rat smack

jenfraggle · 16/08/2011 14:38

Sounding like good news Jaggy. Looking forward to when you can confirm your BFP

Hi Maybe

maybebabyR · 16/08/2011 14:52

Hi Jen!

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 16/08/2011 16:08

Excellent idea Jen! All the fun of camping (yummy food, good company) with none of the drawbacks (sleeping outside on hard cold ground, no proper bathrooms!)

Maybe it's good to have you back!! Glad you have a clearer idea of where you are in your cycle. Lots of rat smacking and zero ov stressing sounds like a perfect baby-making recipe to me! How was the hol?

Piglet28 · 16/08/2011 16:15

Hey, I found you all on a nice new thread!!

I'm due to ovulate any day now so will be getting down to rat smacking (attempting every other day this week!) and joining you all on 2ww, looking forward to seeing lots of BFP's this month!

Thought i'd add that my birth with DS wasn't so bad, everyone loves to scare people with horror stories when the are PG! was about 9 days late, In labour for about 12 hrs, had an epidural (lovely relief!) DS got a bit stuck and needed a ventouse... not too bad and can't wait to do it all over again!

Good luck everyone!

Solars · 16/08/2011 17:14

Hi everyone,

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 17:17

Excellent! A camping trip! Just what we need!

Excellent news re: impending egg laying Piglet and good work with the SWI so far this week! Sounds like I will be your 2ww buddy - can I share your symptoms seeing as though I'll have none of my own?

Imps7 · 16/08/2011 17:20

Oooh Solars so pleased to hear that the fanny cam was not as bad as you were expecting. Bit worried to hear that you haven't given yourself the night off from cooking dinner though - surely sitting down and relaxing is the way forward tonight??? (unless you love to cook)

Your ironic BFP will be here before you know it!

Solars · 16/08/2011 17:26

I do love to cook Imps and have been contemplating a takeaway too, in fact you're right this invasion does deserve a sit down and feet up evening tonight and since hubby is not back until late he will never know the difference if he doesn't see the packaging Grin

scarletfingernail · 16/08/2011 17:36

Phew what a day. Sorry you've been looking for me dream I've had a lovely day out with DS and some friends at a kiddy farm type place. Was just what I needed to take my mind off my current state of affairs.

Welcome back Maybe good to see you feeling so positive, your BFP is in arms reach. You will get it this month.

dream fantastic to hear you're still brooking no argument for that BFP. I have very high hopes for you.

generic and little your birth stories are inspiring. I'm so going to be better at it this time. Like you dream I twice refused a c-section earlier on during my labour, if I'd known then how it was going to end up I'd have had it, but I was scared stiff of being operated on especially awake!

Scream I hope you and DH are doing something nice this evening to celebrate his birthday. You can surprise him with his belated birthday BFP at the weekend.

Solars I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow, I'm sure it will and you will get your BFP not long afterwards.

mmm lovely bananas jen

CD30 and 13dpo for me. Still no AF, backache gone but a bit crampy in uterus area. Boobs are hurting a lot more than usual. Tbh I only usually get achey boobs when pregnant BUT I'm trying not to read into it too much as my body has been known to play cruel tricks such as this.

Longest recent cycle is 32 days, so I'll test Thursday if no AF by then.

scarletfingernail · 16/08/2011 17:37

Ooops sorry solars got the wrong day, I thought it was tomorrow. Glad you're feeling ok

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 17:42

solars, you were very brave for Fanny Cam. I hope you got a sticker!! My DH de-gloved his knee to the bone falling off his mountain bike. He got an 'I was brave for the Doctor' sticker in A&E probably as he was working there himself at the time I googled it and see in the first couple of months after there is a statisically significant slightly higher rate of conception. Hooray for your ironic BFP this month!!! it's SO happening Grin Treat yourself to a take-away. I'd say Indian

go piglet go!! lay that egg and smack that rat

That blooming radiator- i sanded it to start with, and scratched off a load of the paint- maybe too much sanding?? which i'm still struggling to cover, plus its drip-central. I WISH i hadn't started, i've made a mess Sad

DD loved the party. My back knows all about it...! She, aged 11 months, ate an enormous, toddler-sized piece of chocolate birthday cake. She was presented with it, I was horrified at the size and resolved to get some off her, but she crammed it into her mouth with double-handed stuff-it-in enjoyment and I couldn't bear to pinch the food she thought was hers back.... She is very clearly my daughter!!!

Now, camping,

and where oh where is scarlet?

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 17:43

oh, THERE you are scarlet

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 17:47

oh-just read your post properly scarlet, you are Blindingly Obviously Pregnant, now you just need your pee stick endorsement Grin Hooray!!!

I did the operation straight after my birth- that was the worst bit- being numb from the waist down, flat, away from her for an hour or so while I was in theatre, puking violently in theatre all over my hair that i had to smell all night and then not being able to sit up, get up or hold her apart from wedged in bed with me for about 12 hours afterwards.... doh. AND no shower til the next day. Minging. And i'd STILL do it naturally again!!!

NinjaChipmunk · 16/08/2011 18:00

Hi maybe good to see you back and glad you had a lovely holiday. Heres to a nice relaxed month of shagging for you.
solars well done on the fanny cam, can you phone them for the results or do you really have to wait till end of september? thats ages!
Hello to everyone else, am off out to dinner tonight with friends so won't be on till tomorrow. We have managed to swi every night from day 9 to day 14 so far, reckon if we can manage another 3 nights i'll have covered all bases. And we'll both be too knackered to carry on anyway. Have a good evening all, I love a good camp fire feast!

maybebabyR · 16/08/2011 18:10

Thanks Ninja and Scarlet

Scream Holiday was amazing, very relaxing first week, then picked up the classic camper for the second week! Am now a camping aficionado Grin

Solars glad it all went well today, I have heard of so many people getting their BFPs not long after, and you are most definitely going to be another of them Smile

Keeping everything crossed for all those testing soon

Biscuitsandtea · 16/08/2011 18:24

Solars I got my BFP the cycle after my HSG - get smacking those rats and make these months count.

Fingers crossed for everyone else testing soon / smacking rats / waiting to smack rats etc etc - I guess EVERYONE. Need some of you ladies to graduate as the vomitorium has gone a bit quieter these days - worried I've scared some of the originals away Blush
