Ha ha maybe! I actually have a shoosh shoosh stick! And a Cambodian cow bell and decorative cymbal :o (I think they may be call rain sticks, but I prefer shoosh shoosh sticks!!)

Dizzy I hope you're ok! I'm with cake - get DH to walk him. It's never to early to pull the pregnancy card :o

PopcornMouse · 19/10/2011 17:20

Ladies, AF is due on Sunday, and I can't decide whether or not to test tomorrow morning. Is it too early?

I wanted to wait til after AF was due but it occurs to me I'm having a day out Sunday and I've been really looking forward to it for months and I don't want to be crushed with the arrival of AF (which would cast a shadow over the day a bit). But I also don't want to crush myself needlessly tomorrow, either!!

WWYD? [hconfused]

CakePigeon · 19/10/2011 17:26

popcorn I'd wait until Friday at least. Give the pee sticks another day to come round Smile

DizzyKipper · 19/10/2011 17:28

Cheers ladies. Missed a trick though as I've just gotten back from my walk with the dog - I sent my OH an upset email about it though so hopefully he'll come back with chocolate [hgrin]

Popcorn test Friday - it's what I did when AF was due Sunday and I got my positive. Use a test with at least 25mIU sensitivity - mine was one of the poundland ones but that's the same sensitivity as FR.

DizzyKipper · 19/10/2011 17:32

Solars have you heard of justsnipe? I use it fairly often on ebay - means other bidders won't see my bid and be able to outbid me before it's up, and hopefully means that anyone already bidding won't up their max bid for fear of the competition. It also means you don't get sucked into the excitement of last minute out-bidding.

maybe did you hear of the ocarina through Zelda Ocarina of Time per chance? Or am I just uncouth?

PopcornMouse · 19/10/2011 17:32

Hee hee hee @ Dizzy's chocolate fix :o

Ok, Friday it is! I have internet cheapies that say they're 10mIU... I will 2 to cover all bases :o

PopcornMouse · 19/10/2011 17:33

Is it sad that I worry how my cat will cope when he's not my only furbaby anymore? It is, isn't it? :o

DizzyKipper · 19/10/2011 17:38

Are those Advanced Ultra? I used them for my first pregnancy - worked from quiet early on. And also no it's not sad to worry about how your cat will cope, I also worry the same about my dog Grin

DizzyKipper · 19/10/2011 17:39

*quite

possiblemaybebaby · 19/10/2011 17:42

Hope you have your feet up now Dizzy

Popcorn I have everything crossed for Friday, I can feel that BFP coming!

Dizzy I know of the Ocarina, as I afraid I used to play it Blush Just one of the many instruments I used to torture my parent's ears with Grin

The fanjometer has arrived!! Whoop! Now, I have a TMI question. How far, ahem, does one stick insert it? Blush

DizzyKipper · 19/10/2011 17:45

You can either use it orally or vaginally. I think most people go with the former, but I found my temps were too erratic taken that way and had to switch to the latter - which were a lot more reliable.

I'm curious now maybe, what other instruments did or do you play?

/in theory learning to play the guitar and banjo, in practice not picked them up in yonks.

possiblemaybebaby · 19/10/2011 17:50

Thanks Dizzy

I have played all 3 recorders, ocarina, clarinet, flute, french horn and the saxophone. Unfortunately I haven't picked up an instrument for many years Blush

Imps7 · 19/10/2011 17:54

Maybe - as far as it will go!! Good luck!

possiblemaybebaby · 19/10/2011 17:56

Imps that made me chuckle!

Imps7 · 19/10/2011 17:58

Arg, pressed "post" too soon.

Dizzy you poor thing! Hope you're okay. Little Dizzy will be fine. Look after yourself or - better still - get OH to look after you!

Right, am off home having achieved next to nothing today.

CakePigeon · 19/10/2011 18:01

Can you do the bare minimum now you have another job to go to imps? congrats on that by the way Grin

Biscuitsandtea · 19/10/2011 18:48

So......

DH is going to be late again tonight - anyone drum up some more BFP excitement for me please?

DrMunkenstein · 19/10/2011 18:52

Well according to the OPKs I haven't ovulated yet ?!?

So as usual I have no clue with my cycle, so can't help biscuits

Grin
Biscuitsandtea · 19/10/2011 18:54

DrMunk - I don't really see why not yet having ovulated should really excuse you from providing me with a BFP on demand Wink.

I asked nicely and everything.....

What about if I share around some delicious white chocolate brownies - does that tempt anyone?

DizzyKipper · 19/10/2011 18:57

Wasn't Baby getting a BFP soon?

DrMunkenstein · 19/10/2011 18:57

Go on then, I need a bit of brooking myself. Think I am definitely not ovulating.

Blood tests said no, but I was hoping they were wrong.

Maybe I'll get an ironic one too?

LateToThisBabyMalarky · 19/10/2011 19:34

Awww, I swung by the thread to lurk & see if anything's been going on....and wow! Much excitement! Congrats Ninja, this has been a good month for bfps, there's going to be a little baby boom in June Grin

I'm 6+5 today and counting off every day - I can't say that DH & I are getting very excited about this yet, it's very strange Confused. I'm going to see the GP on Friday and I hope to be able to get a referral to the EPU for an early 'reassurance' scan. I had a bit of spotting yesterday and flipped out a bit, but it's pretty much gone now so fx it wasn't anything to be concerned about.

Thanks for thinking of me ladies, I'll be keeping an eye on y'all & hoping for some more bfps SOON Grin

possiblemaybebaby · 19/10/2011 19:48

Late! Great to see you! 6+5 already!! You'll be at 12 weeks before you know it, then hopefully you can relax a little more Smile

Munk when did you have your blood tests? I may have missed this already?

I just thought I would do an opk that came with my fanjometer, you know, just for fun. I have never done one before, and wasn't expecting to see anything, but the second lime came up within a minute, and is darker than the control. Is there anyway these can be wrong?

Biscuitsandtea · 19/10/2011 19:55

Don't know Maybe - where are you in your cycle? Any way they could be right?

Lovely to see you Late - and congrats on getting to almost 7 weeks already! Hope they'll let you have a reassurance scan - do keep us up to date and take care xx

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 19/10/2011 19:58

Howdy preggeos! Thought I'd pop my head in and see how things are going.
I've got a bone to pick with you lot. I used to see ramekins as something nice to serve food in. Now I think 'eurgh, goof in there? That's where I pee!' nb I have a separate ramekin for peeing in, I'm not gross
Anyhoo, hope you're all splendid :)
