Thanks for the hot chocolate biscuits good luck with your scan :) excited for you!

wow I am at least going to look pregnant with all this lovely food to munch on!

Hi generic Your Nice Tea sounds lovely, I took advantage of DH being out to eat some fruit and veggies as a treat for impending baby cake - DH is terrible and won't eat his greens!

GenericDietCola · 16/08/2011 21:18

Ooh fruit and veggies sound just what babyCake needs - well done! When are you confirming you bloomingly obvious pregnancy?

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 21:24

Hmmm well I'm not sure how many dpo I am, beginning to think my month away from charting is more stressful than it should be! I might cave and start taking my temps again, otherwise I'll poas at the weekend just for fun, no idea if that's too early but I am feeling the need to po something! How about you?

GenericDietCola · 16/08/2011 21:30

Ah yes, the peeing-on compulsion - I know it well.

Ages for me - AF outstaying her welcome here at the mo. Next POAS time will therefore be mid-September and I am determined to get an obedient pee stick this time!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 21:31

scarlet, i'm swaying, should i test with you tmw????

Right jaggy, i feel no need to stop calling her The Bean now. Grin

cake go for it! if i don't POAS before i'll join you at the weekend. I eat so much worse since DD's arrival... much less time for fruit eating!!!

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 21:37

That is a while, plenty of good rat smacking between then and now though and maybe you can even pee on a few opks to keep you going!

Ooh dream you should test! When is AF due for you? Oh dear I am such a bad poas influence!

BabySade · 16/08/2011 21:38

Thanks for the reassurances over giving birth guys, I think the reason I'm so scared is like you dream I know a little bit about it from a medical point of view.

Hello Jen Solars Piglet and Late Grin

Really sorry about your little bean Late however you are clearly an expert at brooking no argument, get smacking that rat

My weird symptom for today is stabbing pain in my pubic bone Hmm have never had anything like this before grasping at any possible sign, the crazy 2WW begins

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 21:39

ok, DH has said he doesn't think i should waste pre-emptively use my one-and-only pee stick tmw... sigh

generic, my friends DH once offered to go and get her a few sticks from the garden if she really had the urge to pee on something. (she was wanting to test 'in case' she was pg despite still having her implant in!) Worth a shot?! lol. maybe i'll do that!!!!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 21:41

cake, my last cycle was 34 days but have a feeling the're going to be v irregular (just re-started and i'm still bf) and i'm day 32 here.

Oooh, maybe, seeing you again has made me remember, i haven't taken a folic acid since last time you mentioned it- that would be Timing Couldn't Be Worse for this month, so i MUST be upduffed, no?!

BabySade · 16/08/2011 21:43

Hello to Cake as well!

Scarlet sounds very promising Wink

Solars glad it all went well, your definitely in line for a BFP now

Enjoy your scan Biscuits Smile

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 21:44

babysade was it you who said you're a nurse? I think a bit of medical knowledge is a Bad Thing. However, all DH's doctor friends were desperate to avoid sections and have all done/ do obs and gynae and most have had babies- good signs!!!!!! Stabbing pain? preggers, thats what you are Grin

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 21:49

Good call on the folic acid dream totally preggo! That reminds me, must remember to take mine today too..

scarletfingernail · 16/08/2011 21:51

Oh dream I had almost convinced myself to test in the morning instead of Thursday. I have a GP appointment tomorrow for something else and was just thinking I could do with knowing if I'm pregnant or not before seeing him. Now you're not testing, I will stick to the earlier plan of Thursday.

Hi cake and welcome back late. I'm sorry you're joining us again, MC's are horrible. Good to hear you sounding so positive, you will get your BFP in no time.

GenericDietCola · 16/08/2011 21:53

Dream and Cake I think you've identified a gap in the market for recreational pee sticks - y'know for when you know you're not preggers but just fancy peeing on something to see what happens. We could design something that revealed an exciting picture when you pee on it. Fancy going on Dragon's Den with me?

Oh and yes, hang on a bit longer Dream - you don't want a lying pee stick false negative.

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 21:58

Oh yes, generic I love the idea of exciting picture pee sticks! Maybe with a word of the day spin off series for a bit of learning whilst you pee

Hi scarlet best of look for Thursday, lots of confirmations to look forward to this week!

dreamfeeder · 16/08/2011 22:01

right. Its best we wait scarlet, to make sure we Brook No Argument with those damn pee sticks. Or, get the GP to test you- a FREE pee stick, winner Grin

generic, i'm coming to Dragon's Den. Like the learn-while-you-wee too. Winner. Run with it

jaggythistle · 16/08/2011 22:03

I am so brooking no argument that some cheapo pee sticks accidentally ordered themselves from Amazon today. I guess the emergency CBD wasn't enough for my cupboard after all.

scarletfingernail · 16/08/2011 22:08

Grin jaggy and the "accidental pee sticks"

jaggythistle · 16/08/2011 22:21

that's the power of brooking *scarlet
Grin

CakePigeon · 16/08/2011 22:29

Hi jaggy clearly your cupboard appreciates being fully stocked to provide you with your positive pee sticks. Eek DH is home, hope he doesn't realise I've spent all evening on mn!

Imps7 · 17/08/2011 07:28

Morning all!

Ov is clearly approaching - I have become an Unstoppable Eating Machine. I am seriously considering onion rings for breakfast Shock. Does anyone else's appetite sky rocket in the run up to laying an egg?

So no testers today then - how disappointing admirable for you all to be so resolute.

GOOD LUCK FOR TODAY BISCUITS. We are all right behind you and brooking no argument of any kind for your scan. Hurry back and bring more snacks tell us how you got on.

scarletfingernail · 17/08/2011 07:28

Good morning

And a very good morning it is too. I can't believe I'm about to type this, but here goes....

BFP! BFP! BFP!BFP!BFP!BFP!BFP!BFP!BFP!BFP!BFP!

I'm still shaking, not long since I found out. Decided that as AF was due tomorrow it would be very rude not to use one of my internet cheapies this morning. So I did and there was a very faint line. Not being one with patience and waiting until tomorrow I brought out the Big Guns.

So I dipped my First Response in the ramekin (Gu by the way) and got a proper double line. Not being content with that my one and only Clear Blue digi came out and that confirms preggo and 1-2 weeks!

So, I'm off to see my GP this morning with my pee and get him to make it official. Luckily DH hadn't already left for work as he was coming with me anyway to my GP (for something else) so I was able to wake him up and shove 3 BFPs in his bleary eyes Grin He's delighted.

Biscuitsandtea · 17/08/2011 07:44

Aaaaaaagggggghhhhhhh that's AWESOME Scarlet

Congratulations!!!

That's put a smile on my face for sure GrinGrinGrinGrin

Imps7 · 17/08/2011 07:46

CakePigeon · 17/08/2011 07:47
