The rat smacketeers are brooking no argument!! All for one BFP and one BFP for all!

[Imps7]

Smacket on, ladies...

Beedle I am jealous of your youthful looks but congrats on your pregnancy and all that! Buying tight clothes is a good tactic.

Apologies for dropping off the radar for a long while, and I'm sure there are some people in here who have no idea who I am! I just like to check in on all the rat smackers from time-to-time. I'm posting rather than lurking today just because I want to say a HUGE congratulations to Farfallaon your BFP! I'm glad you've got all these injections lined up and I'm sure this bean is going to be super sticky! Congrats!!!

Stalkerish alert - am an antenatal brooker graduate who occasionally nosed popped over here to see who people were when they posted on the antenatal board. Also some if you guys did some excellent brooking for me when my new ds had menin

Gah bloody phone

Meningitis. Wanted to say congrats to far. Will be brooking from the other side that all works out.

Hawthers not stalkerish at all. I am so pleased little Farley (sp?) is better now

Scream how are you now?

Beedle I am with you on how we are going to celebrate when Imps is upduffed (which she will be confirming any day now) Maybe we should dust of the old pom-poms again?

I've been practicing the can-can and laundering my underskirts and black stockings.

far, hope today's not been too emotional, and glad to hear the injection went well.

bean it definitely sounds like you're in with a good chance this month. Day 10 and 12 swi sounds perfect for CD11 or 12 ovulation.

cupcakes sorry to hear your pregnancy is giving you such nasty symptoms!

generic, glad to hear you're pregnant

Hi to scream & hawthers. I'm going to have a lurk on the antenatal thread in a minute to see what you're all up to!

Imps I think the freezer list sounds great. I once worked with a woman who would go shopping for veg once a month, prepare and sometimes part cook it, then freeze it in portion sized tuppaware boxes to use during the coming month. Was it you ?

I can't believe my pathetic af is lingering here. It's still light but I'm bored of it now and want to get on with getting pregnant again. I think the sex issue will be ok. I think dp just needed to vent some stuff, and now it's been said he's feeling better. I definitely won't be mentioning to him what the CBFM is saying though!

Hope everyone else is ok too xx

Hi all. Thinking of you today Far as I know its a tough day for you. Really pleased your BRP is even bigger and fatter!

Loving the freezer list idea - I am far too lazy for that.

I have had spotting on and off all day. TMI alert ... just on wiping yesterday evening and now enough to make a little drop on pad am then again pm on new pad. I really can't decide if its AF or (hopefully) implantation bleeding.

I think in my heart I know its not implantation bleeding as is too much for that, but am still desperately clinging on to that hope. I am 9 DPO today and my luteral phase is usually short but is usually 11-13 days long. I have been taking 100mg Vit B complex, so it should be lengthening, not shortening. ARGH!

I guess I'll know by tomorrow morning if I'm in full flow or not. Not feeling hopeful though.

In other news I just spilt wine all over my laptop and now its not working . Thankfully I have accidental damage cover on my home contents insurance. But I can't find my receipt for laptop - does anyone know if they'll still take the claim without receipt? I thought the wine would cheer me up, but instead I didn't fancy it at all and then clumsily knocked the whole bloody glass over. GRRR!

Have a great weekend everyone, whatever you're up to.

Duke I am keeping everything crossed for you, all sounding very promising. Do you temp?

With the lap top, I claimed on my insurance when DH idiotically accidently dropped my laptop on the floor. I don't think I had the receipt for it, and it all went through fine. Though I did have to have a telephone interrogation over how it happened i lied

Sorry AF is lingering Little but it is her last visit for a long time so she is obviously just making her mark so you don't forget her

AF got me, no mistaking it today. I am not sure if we're TTC this month or next as DP is mad busy at work both now and when baby would be due. Just feeling blue right now.

Thanks for info on laptop - fingers crossed.

Good luck to everyone else.

Oh Duke I'm so sorry. I hope your DP can find the time to TTC these next few months. It's totally understandable to be feeling blue right now. Make sure you look after yourself today x

had a few days away, just caught up on the thread, and a massive congratulations to far for her nonchalent sex resulting in a BFP!!! I really hope this one is a sticky bean for you, and that you will get your Dragon baby :)

sorry re AF duke

and i think my DP would love your freezer lists imps as we've got a few freezers and never have a clue what food we've actually got/where....he has been on about doing an inventory since xmas.....

bean sounds like you are in with a chance of being one of the next batch of BFPS!

Duke - gutted for you; Brooking that your BFP is on the way.

Thanks Loopy - that's v positive of you, much appreciated. I feel it's going to happen in the next few months for sure. How's your bump coming along?

We had a lovely day in Whitstable today. Managed to get filthy on the beach but found a great coffee morning in a church and all the old ladies loved our LO - he knows how to charm the ladies - and we got cleaned up and had a coffee and cake. Sun came out, and DS had a nice kip too.

Delicious lunch in the Royal Oyster Restau - anyone been there?

Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Big hugs. xxx

Arrghhhh, after thinking all week that af had arrived and was just very light, it's now ramped up to proper bleeding. So i've had to reset the cbfm back a few days. Good job that's easy to do in the first days. Fingers crossed i'm back to normal next month (what am I talking about, of course there won't be a next month...)

duke gutted to hear af arrived. Look after yourself, hope you feel better tomorrow x

bean totally jealous of your lovely day out!

Hope everyone's having a nice weekend!

Duke and Little we can be cycle buddies as AF has turned up here as well (after only 22 days!). Might get back on the B vits for this next cycle in case my LP is short again.

Oh dear - sorry about all these AFs and Generic how annoying it has gone short ok. I hope the B vits help.

Treat yourself well while AF is in town, the old cow.

Gotta work, but take care everyone.

Thanks Bean. Sadly I've just given up chocolate and alcohol for Lent so I can't even console myself with wine and chocolate! Oh well, another month of losing weight and being healthy how dull

Dull but you will triumph, Generic. Treats will have to be something like a new pair of shoes or a night out with your OH - get yourselves a babysitter!

I have just arranged for DS to stay with his godfathers for one night next month; DP's birthday weekend coincides with our fertile time - what larks. Of course, it will all be unnecessary as the BFP is imminent.

Did the Bvits help with your short luteal phase before? I hope it's just a blip and that you get a longer month next month.

xxx

Oh Generic so sorry about AF. You are being very good re no alcohol/chocolate

Oh generic boo to af. This is our month though

maybe I agree that at least there is something 'normal' about a proper af. Sorry to hear you're poorly again.

Have a lovely time Little, lots of R&R and fresh air, bliss. You take care too x

Ooh Bean I like your idea of non-edible treats! Great planning on the babysitting, but I agree you will be preggo by then anyway. Yes, B vits have helped me before, but I may give it another cycle as last time I took them they screwed up my digestion a bit.

Maybe good work on the allotment! I bet that was a great day in the fresh air achieving something practical. Hope you feel better soon.

Little enjoy CP and just think we will be celebrating our BFPs in a few weeks!

Hello hope everyone had a nice weekend.

So sorry to hear about AF Duke, Generic and Little. Hope you have a good break, I love centre parcs.

Maybe can't believe your feeling poorly again. I think you need a good rest. Maybe a holiday is needed?

Nice to see some of the old brookers stopping by

Well I'm on cd31 (cycle has been 29 days for the last 5 months, before that it was 29-36 days). No AF, have had a few twinges but still no sore boobs. According to CBFM I'm 10 days post my first peak so AF should not be here for another 4-6 days. I'm going crazy over here! I'm desperately symptom spotting. Had a BFN yesterday. Have resolved not to test until thursday reckon I'll crack by Tuesday

Moooorning

Sorry AF has made an appearence little I hope centerparcs makes up for it a little bit.

How are the jabs going, far ?

Had a poopy weekend, and now kinda glad to be back at work Where has the sun gone?
