When's the best time to get pregnant? Use our interactive ovulation calculator to work out when you're most fertile and most likely to conceive.

The rats are all going to be jolly well smacked, we are going to have lots of festive BFPs and possibly a mince pie (or three)

Welcome to all!

Grab a glittery tinsel wrapped ramekin, grab some mulled wine and join our very lucky thread.

I'm going to go with Biscuits - ICs are supposed to be 10miu - I'll stick with those until 14 DPO - by then it will be clear whether there is or is not a line.

Looks like I'm working from home today - OH has run off to work with my keys!!

Biscuitsandtea · 05/12/2011 08:59

Did your oh see the line before he ran off with your keys Imps?

PopcornMouse · 05/12/2011 09:00

Obv I don't have any experience with pg tests and lines, but I'd say the internet cheapie OPKs that are supposedly 10miu are a lot less sensitive than the FR OPKs I was using this month :o

Imps7 · 05/12/2011 09:07

Haaaa no Biscuits - he leaves the house at 6am - I'm barely conscious enough to say bye to him at that point!

Hmmmm, interesting Popcorn. I've got about 20 ICs to use up though so I think I'll do that before cracking open the big guns if there's still confusion in a couple of days.

Right, I'm off to make some stuffing do some work.

possiblemaybebaby · 05/12/2011 09:15

Well, when you put it like that Imps it would be rude not to use them up wouldn't it?!

Imps7 · 05/12/2011 09:21
ScrambledSmegs · 05/12/2011 09:41

Imps that is very positive (see what I did there?!). I agree with Biscuits about waiting a couple of days, but it's looking very good for you on wednesday!

Out of interest, what prompted you to test? It must have been more than just having a load in the house!

5DPO here. Nothing to report.

musicalmrs · 05/12/2011 09:48

If the ICs are so sensitive, it makes sense to stick to those :) Working from home must make the POAS temptation much greater!

How very very exciting!

What symptoms do you have?

Imps7 · 05/12/2011 09:48

I test quite frequently Smegs although tend not to post the results here (unless there's something super exciting to report) - I don't get particularly upset about BFNs and being an impatient sort I've always wanted to know at the earliest opportunity!!

The jury in my head is still out as to whether there is a faint line or not. Only time will tell I guess!

Imps7 · 05/12/2011 09:51

My sympsum is completely dull Musical - my left nip is still slightly sensitive and on Friday I was deliriously happy - which, given my shitty workplace, is at the moment is quite unusual for me Xmas Grin. That's it though!

ScrambledSmegs · 05/12/2011 10:05

Imps, IIRC your tea tasted of fish too, didn't it?

Take a photo of it and post on your profile? We can give the the benefit or our expert opinions! That's if it's not too late and the test hasn't blown up or anything Grin.

possiblemaybebaby · 05/12/2011 10:22

Smegs I am so pleased you suggested this, I love looking at a pee stick.

SweetieDoesIt · 05/12/2011 10:22

So much has been happening on in the 3 days since I left.

Imps dare I whisper congratulations

Little so many congratulations ? I am soooooooo pleased for your BFP and the agreeable pee stick after one of the other sort. Hip hip hooray Thanks Thanks Thanks

Have I hope you are all ok after the horrific experience over the weekend, I have rushed around and checked all my smoke alarm batteries this morning. Shock must be terrible for you all, but material things are replaceable.

Whims sorry to hear AF has paid you a very unwelcome visit.

Green I have persuaded DH to come with my for spray tanning the last few times, he only has his milk bottle white legs done, but it takes the focus of me smelling!!

Have I missed Maybe PIACR? It may have been hidden in the skimmed posts.

The OPK sticks have arrived so will start using these from Wed when I will be CD10, as they say "knowledge is power" ? keep up the Brooking ladies.

musicalmrs · 05/12/2011 10:23

You love looking at pee sticks do you, maybe? There's an easy way to do that, you know...

Grin
possiblemaybebaby · 05/12/2011 10:31

Oh, I deserved that Musical Xmas Grin

Sweetie Bon soir mon petite pois

Did you have a lovely time? I hope you drank copious amounts of wine Grin

You didn't miss me PIACR. My resolve is still steady. Ish.

Imps7 · 05/12/2011 11:31
SweetieDoesIt · 05/12/2011 11:44

Imps isn't the saying "a line is a line" ????

Maybe when is the PIACR going to occur?

Paris was very magical and christmasy also very spendy - 10 euros for a beer Xmas Shock DH nearly keeled over.

PopcornMouse · 05/12/2011 11:46

YAY!

HaveYourselfAFaithyChristmas · 05/12/2011 11:48

I have put some photos of the kitchen on Flickr which you should be able to see here oh how I wish it was a positive pee stick. Hey ho, all this drama has definitely got me up the duff this cycle. Christmas BFP here I come.

possiblemaybebaby · 05/12/2011 11:53

Sweetie my DH was the same. Think it was the first time ever that my glass of wine was cheaper than his beer Xmas Grin

I can't see your photos Have You are so definitely on for a Christmas BFP

Imps7 · 05/12/2011 11:54

Xmas Shock Have do you know what caused it?? Kitchen looks lovely by the way - can you still get the same one?

HaveYourselfAFaithyChristmas · 05/12/2011 12:16

Yes the food processor of all things! I'm hoping we can replace it like for like.
I think this link should work.

farfallarocks · 05/12/2011 12:19

Hi gals
Just back from hols and had the most amazing time. Very relaxing and we loved India, no tummy bugs either.
It was great to re-connect with DH and not think about TTC or work or anything else. I even forgot what cycle day I was on which has not happened since Feb this year!

I have so much to catch up but looks like we have a BFP from generic yay and a tentative congrats to imps hooray!!

Am going to find the old thread and try and catch up with you all now!

Biscuitsandtea · 05/12/2011 12:21

So so stressful for you my lovely! I do hope the insurance company are being helpful?

Did you get some knockers? I mean knickers?

Biscuitsandtea · 05/12/2011 12:22

Welcome back far - glad you had a lovely lovely time Smile
