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!

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

farfalla and everyone else, I've found this helpful chart on Wikipedia

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Progesterone_during_menstrual_cycle.png]

Amazing the variability of ovulation between women and between cycles, but it also shows progesterone levels at different time in the cycle.

Sorry you feel rubbish Wants hope the paracetamol kicks in soon. r maybe a hot bath might help?

Farfalla good to hear you are ovulating. I have no idea what is normal though. Could the fact that it was done slightly later skew the results a little?

Thanks Cake I think a May baby would be lovely too

Sorry Bartlet cross-posts! I knew you would confirm the raspberry crumble cravings

I am now concerned about my lack of raspberry crumble cravings. In fact, I've lost my appetite completely, which is completely unlike me. On the other hand, it means you can all eat my freshly baked brownies, as they're obviously lost on me..!

Bartlet - glad it's not just me ;) Is your name WW inspired? I've been watching lots of it to take my mind off of ttc (well, to prevent boob-proding a la Imps, obsessive CM watching and reliance on Dr Google!).

Thanks for the reassurance everyone You are all lovely. I'm looking at it that I'm pregnant regardless of tests or AF. I just might have a later EDD than expected!
Cake welcome to day 1 of your pregnancy . You best start thinking of names now, only 9 months to go!
Only 12 days to go till my jolly holidays, can't wait

Is pre-seed like a lubricant? Please forgive my ignorance I've never used one, does it not just slip straight back out?!

Realised I missed a few things Farfalla hope someone can help you with the blood results. Do you think its because it was a few days after ovulation?

Wants I sympathise with your doctors visit. It always takes them ages to do my smear as they can't get it in or get the right view. Don't know why, have always been too to ask.

Oh and welcome sn0w

that's the attitude BabySade brilliant positivity there good luck for future confirmations

As for preseed, you get the option of using really sexy syringes to squirt it up there

america good to hear that! I was feeling disheartened when nurse said it takes 9 months + to conceive! I haven't got that long and she obviously doesn't know about this thread:) I have done it in 3months before so holding on to that thought.

Hi Sn0w

Wants you poor thing, the nurse seemed to have been a but rough with you, hope you feel better soon. Baby I'm the same and seem to have an elusive cervix, they seem to be ages down there looking for it

Imps liked the idea of your solution to Dreams radiator problem :)

Hi sn0w when are you confirming your pregnancy this month?

wants have you got a ttc deadline? I thought that was just me! I'm moving to a different career with no mat leave or pay next October so cakelet needs to be 3 months by then or I'll have to put off ttc until I'm about a year in to the new job

Hmmm checks diary... shall we pencil in the 22nd Sep for a celebratory BFP cakepidgeon? I shall provide the hot chocolate and squirty cream :o

just a quick one from me as ds wants to play now we are home, farfalla I was told they look for over 30, but i know if it is lower I'm sure there are things they can suggest to improve the number. Don't panic! Will try to find the info later for you but have to go i'm afraid

farfalla you might find this interesting reading.

Wants I'm sorry to hear the nurse was so rough with you this afternoon! Hopefully the various yummy baked goodies around will make you feel better soon in time for some yummy swi action later!

Farfalla don't forget that this month is YOUR month, so ignore the test results and just keep smacking that rat! Soon you'll be sitting in the doctor's office talking about just how "surprised" you were when you immediately became pregnant following the test result, and then you can muse knowingly about how the body works in mysterious ways

Loving the positive attitude Baby! Your pee stick endorsement is just around the corner!

I've just noticed that my right boob is aching! I can't decide what is weirder about this:

1. That the first thing I wanted to do was come online and tell you guys about it!
2. How happy I am to have an aching boob! Or...
3. It's only the one boob!?!

Whatever the answer is I'm now inspired to bounce around the room doing my yay-for-more-symptoms dance!

I have a deadline in the fact that I am a bit oldercake

Ooh sn0w we can be cycle buddies I'm also due around 22nd sept yay! I will bring marshmallows and those spoons with the long handles!

scream my left boob ached before AF this time - maybe right boob = preggo, left = not so?!

22nd sounds good Sn0w and Cake Lovely June babies

Day 2 of 30 day shred done. Everything hurts

I have a really funny sensation in my left groin, bikini line bit. On and off, but so much so in the night that it took my breath away

don't overdo it maybe, have you pulled something or is babymaybe telling you to ease up a bit?
steady on there scream

It doesn't feel muscular Ninja but who knows. Possible just another symptom to add to the ever increasing list

Thanks for the info gals and sorry not to post more, manic at work!!
That chart and ninja link looks interesting. Will do some research and come back!

I think the aching right vs left boob dilemma is no match for the brooking no argument spirit in here! Either one is just further confirmation of the Blindingly Obvious.

Congrats to Maybe on finding a new symptom! (I do hope this one eases off soon though, and doesn't bother you tonight).

My three best friends in the world are scattering to the four corners of the globe! well, France x 2 and Japan I'm so gutted they won't be here during my pg (or after the pain-free birth). I'll be telling the first of them my news this eve by phone, she's the Samantha Jones of our little quartet though so I'm not actually sure how she'll take it...

Wow preggos! 8 days and over 800 messages!! We'll need a new thread by 9 days at this rate!

Gosh it's been such a miserable day out there - rain, rain, rain all day!!!

I think we need a rousing chorus of:

What do we want? Positive Pee Sticks
When do we want them? Now

I've forgotten (must be my baby brain!) but who is testing over the next few days?

wants I am shocked and appalled by the treatment that you received today! How dare someone be so rough with my cycle buddy :) It's hard when people say things like '9 to 12 months is perfectly normal' when you feel in a rush I know. Luckily you have found this thread so you are already pregnant and do not have to worry about being normal.

Maybe all boob ache is boob ache in my book and therefore a pregnancy symptom.

Babysade I have no real idea what preseed is but I am anxious to have some. I couldn't get it in Boots today so am ordering it on Amazon tonight. I have high hopes. I'm sure that you will be getting your BFP soon.
