We are all jolly well going to smack the rat this month and grow a baby and we'll brook no argument. And probably eat some cake too.

[Imps7]

Ladies....begin.

Generic that is bloody brilliant news. Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you.

Pop am glad AF didn't turn up, I'm very hopeful for you this month after the double lot of rat smacking.

Maybe I don't eat fruit cake so I'm definitely going to give your recipe a go. It sounds gorgeous.

Have I'm looking forward to a post Xmas BFP for you!

I'm 7dpo, no symptoms as such apart from over active bowels!! The 2ww is not driving me crazy this time as I'm 30 in 2 weeks so I'm too busy flapping about that! I've always said I'm not bothered about being 30 but now it's happening I feel old. I think it's cos of ttc to be honest.

Imps how could he refuse?!

Thanks Little how are you? Surely teary eyes is a preggo symptom!

Maybe start thinking about how to announce it now! I have no idea! Just spoke to him on the phone and was tempted to blurt it out! Will probably go with Solars suggestion of nice tea tonight and tell him then.

Wine gum anyone? Just bought a huge bag!

Haha Imps you know how to make a guy feel special!!!

Cupcakes thanks m'dear! 30 is young! Nice to have something to distract you in the 2ww though.

Haha Imps surely your DH could not refuse that offer!

Generic you're made of strong stuff there, holding out with the testing and then not even mentioning it to DH on the phone, I think if it was me I would have strongly hinted at least! Oh he's going to be so chuffed! I'd love a wine gum by the way.

Oh to be 30 again Cupcakes

Loving your style Imps

Which option did he pick?

Surely there would be time for both, Imps?

Still sooooo happy after your news Generic - you have no idea how much that brightened a tough Tuesday! Can't wait to hear how you break it to other half!

Imps, which offer did he decide to go for? :P I must admit my texts to my DH were very similar.. "I feel quite crampy today so I might have Ov-ed, and seen as we haven't SWI-ed for a few days, we'll have to tonight!". There was no romance to be seen in the musical household :D

How you feeling now Generic has it sunk in yet? So what time will you get to tell DH? amazed at the will power to keep schtum in earlier phone call I think however you break the news he will be beyond delighted. It is just the best news in the world.

Imps you charmer

Not sunk in yet, feel very happy still! Looking forward to going home shortly and will think about ways to tell him during my drive. I will let you know what he says!

Good luck with the furniture assembly SWI Imps!

I am :( and

It would appear that the current facebook trend is to post your baby's due date, dob and labour times. I know IABU to be so annoyed but having had DSIL and her "perfect/wonderful/my life's now complete/etc" 3 month old stay the weekend, I have reached my limit! So: ARRRRGH!

Ok, whinge over, normal service may now resume :o

I can't wait to hear how he reacts :)

My money is on a few tears of joy from Mr Generic

Deep breaths, popcorn. I know it's galling, but here's brooking your time will come!

BTW, there's a whole article in the guardian website today about not sharing pregnancy related info on FB here

I couldn't possibly comment from experience runs to delete previous oversharing FB posts

Ah, Pop it sucks sometimes. I'm afraid my fb status' are all about puppy wind at the momet

I'm ok thanks maybe & generic. CD20 today and the spotting has stopped, but I'm feeling the usual pre af very low stomach "weird" feeling today. There really is next to no chance this month though, due to all the illness, so not to worry. I'm still happy about your news generic!!

What about you maybe, what's going on with you atm?

Hope you can relax and have a nice, fb free evening popcorn

Still for Generic!

I have just brought some hot chocolate and cookies for you all.

Night night lovely brookers, see you tomorrow x

Thanks for the gifts Munk

Glad to hear you're ok Little could we not brook for an ironic BFP for you this month?!

I'm ok thanks, I too am CD20!!

How'd it go Generic?

What a successful night - OH came home gagging for a shag (perhaps I should be concerned that my EWCM is such a turn on ), and now he's building the TV cabinet while I sup a camomile tea. Ladies, that's what I call a result

Agh, Little it's always a bitter pill to swallow when AF turns up even if you do know that the chances are next to nothing. Am brooking no argument that illness stays away this cycle so that the rat can get properly smacked.

Popcorn FB can be a tough place to be, can't it? It's lovely that people are so happy and lucky with their DCs but it can be sickening when it's what you're longing for yourself. Chin up, lovely.

Munkii lovely to see you on the thread again. Hope you're doing okay.

Right, off to bed I go. Night all.

Good effort Imps - clearly no adjustment needed to your seduction technique

Thanks for the hot choc Munkiii

Gosh I need to get up earlier for this thread, by the time I've read through everything I run out of time to post massive congrats Generic that's such fabulous news. I am now the owner of a lot of nuts/seeds and all sorts of vitamins that I hope will see me preggo by Christmas :)

Right must dash, hello all. Have some banana cake (made by DH not me I have to confess!)

Hey Minesa nice to hear from you - hope you're doing okay

Generic how did it go with DH last night? Can't wait to find out how you told him and what his reaction was!

Where is everyone today? Are you all have a little lie down after the excitement of yesterday?

I brought Chelsea Buns if anyone wants one?

Morning all.

Imps top TTC technique - if it works, it works

Am fully in symptom spotting mode, think I may have been a bit far into my cycle for preggers dust sprinkled yesterday to play much part. AF due Fri or Sat so just counting down to her arrival now. No symptoms to report unfortunately. At least I will be able to enjoy eat and drink what I like Christmas festivities.
