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

[Imps7]

Smacket on, ladies...

ooh, sparks another knitter. Excellent. And with so much preparation you're bound to get a bfp.

Gah to science maybe. Can't you spend a few minutes generating some random numbers and put those in as 'interesting' anomalous results?

Hope your hand's on the mend stasi

Great news cakes

Hello everyone else

I still haven't seen mw either. GP sent me for early scans and 12 wk scan came through post. Apparently I shall hear from mw in the next fortnight to sort booking in appt. She will come to house though which is nice.

Popcorn have you tried travel bands from boots the chemist? They are £8.19 and are accupressure bands for your wrists. They are amazing!!! From about 6wks to 7wks I was really struggling with feeling yuck on and off all day, within 24hrs of wearing them I was feeling better and started to eat better too. I give them an 80% improvement rating. I've still managed to lose about 8lbs though, through eating smaller portions

Wow cakes - I've gained 3lbs! I'm only really nauseas when I don't eat enough so I'm getting off quite lightly so I'm not sure the travel bands will have much of an effect on me? I'm glad you've found something that works, though!

Yeah the MW's coming to my house too (to make sure I don't live in a hovel?) - it's next Wednesday, yay :)

I think when I feel a bit yuck even with bands, its when body decides I should be eating but food isn't quite ready yet, especially at work. I was slightly sick the other day, which just seemed random. Forgot to say I seem to have gone off chocolate :( which is most unlike me. This may have made a difference to weight seeing as I put 6lbs on over Christmas.

If you watched the last part of Call the Midwife, especially given it was mainly homebirths, they attempted to visit home to check all was ok.

Yeah we enjoyed call the midwife - I just assumed they'd do it nearer the end than at the beginning? But what do I know :o

Gone off chocolate!

Cakes - delighted to hear about your scan - that's awesome news! So pleased everything is going well but also at going off chocolate.....

Pop and Cakes we don't have a home mw visit at all here. They come to your home after the baby is born and she did say that they'll need to see where the baby sleeps etc (although they never bothered with that with DS - she never went anywhere other than our living room).

Errr, "FAM"??

Evening Smacketeers

Hope everyone has had a nice day. I've just got in from work, so of course my first priority is to check on you all

Sparkle you are guaranteed a BFP with all that baby making paraphernalia

Cakes am so happy to hear about babes heartbeat. Fantastic news.

Biscuits how are you? Any sign of baby yet?

Stasi hope you got on ok this afternoon. I imagine it makes it very "real" meeting other people who have had cancer.

Imps I looked at your chart, I have no idea what it means but I agree you are totally diffed

Maybe I really sympathise with you having to walk Otis when feeling poorly. I hate taking my pup out when I feel rough. However I see it as good practice for the relentless job of motherhood!

Pop so exciting that you have the mw coming around. It must make it feel like it's really happening.

Right who wanted an update on AF? well last night I had some cramps and was very hot/sweaty while asleep. This is classic pre AF for me. Anyway I didn't PIAR this morning as I was convinced she was coming. However no sign all day. I continue to be completely

Ooh, cupcakes, you're still in the running. Do you think you'll poas in the morning if still no sign?

secret, there is no way that baby making kit will fail!

poor pop & maybe feeling rough. sending you virtual cuddles x

Great news cake

Not much to report here. Day12 and still low on the CBFM. Obviously getting paranoid and mental about that now. In other news, I'm on day 2 of potty training dd. Day 1 involved a lot of cleaning up wee, but day 2 has been great. We're going to venture out tomorrow, so I'm sure we'll take a step backwards!

Eeeek Cupcakes!! We'll all be here to hold your hand (not the one that's holding the ramekin when retrieving pee, of course) when you test tomorrow!

Eeeek!!!

Evening all!

Apologies for lack of posting, RL seems very busy at the mo! I have been reading though and am brooking hard for Cupcakes and Imps imminent confirmation And also for Maybe and Stasi's hand to recover sharpish!

Just had to share with you that DS came out of my en suite with a Pre-seed applicator in his hand saying "Mummy what's this for?" and before I could stop him he was blowing into it like a trumpet And it was a used one from the bin I made sure he had a thorough teeth clean!

Olives! So what did you tell him it was for??

Hi again. This is my first go posting from my new tablet. Got a free BlackBerry one from a promotion they were doing. It's like a tiny ipad, only not as good. Still, better than my phone. And so far not a banned rsi device :)

I've just been reading through wikipedia about conception and orgasms and the like. FAM is temp taking and cm tracking, rhythm method is (I think) basing fertile and infertile days off of cycle length, and is what the catholic Church used to teach. No sex on day 14=no babies (gross oversimplification).

Hmm, forgot what else i read now. Will post again in a minute. Except izzy, your lack of symptoms is great news for me, who also has none, and am therefore totally diffed. Fact.

The group thing this afternoon went OK. We got a huge bag of free goodies, with full sized bottles of moisturisers and cleansers and things, a big bottle of perfume, and all the makeup to do yourself up. Including some mousse foundation which is very strange and comes with a little spoon! I know knew nothing about make up, so it was fun and interesting. Not too much talking with people, but enough that it's not too scary now.

I've done it again! The only thing I remembered reading was intact something I read on another thread earlier!!!

Izzy is on the 10+ thread and got a bfp recently, with no 2ww or early pg symptoms. In case you're interested who I'm failing to talk at.

Olives poor DS! Bless his cotton socks. At least he got clean teeth for his curiosity.

Cupcakes you still in the running my dear, brooking very hard for you. And Imps when are you planning on PIAR? Your chart looks good too like I know anything

Pop and Cakes sorry you have been feeling a bit yucky, hope things settle down

Stasi how did your afternoon go? Hope the thoughts of going were worse and you actually relaxed when you got there. You are so brave what you have already faced and dealt with. An inspiration to us all.

Sparkle you have every aspect well and truly covered, BFP got to be coming your way. Keep the top tips coming.

Little good luck with the potty training.

Strokes poorly Maybe hair and hope her experiment, which sounds epic, goes really well and the result don't need tweaks that naughty Imps suggests!

AF still darkening my doors, am sort of relieved in a crazy sort of way. I have been getting worried that my shortish cycles (only 23 days this cycle) and light periods wouldn't sustain a pregnancy if I could actually get pregnant. I feel a bit better now things are slightly heavier, odd I know.

Off to bed now as DH is watching football. Night night brookers don't let the bed bugs bite xx

Good Morning,

I'm up very early for work. BFN here again, this is torture! I'm past brooking now. I just want AF to put me out of my misery. I'm about 18/19 dpo if it happened at all so I'm sure I'm not pregnant.

Right I'm off to work, have a lovely day

Oh and Olives

Cupcakes what on earth is going on?? Were there any clues to suggest that you actually did ovulate after your peak?? Having referred to the stats thread I note that you don't temp...do you have ov pains? What an utter pain - still, what with the cramping, AF symptoms but no AF I reckon you are still well in the game.

I have taken the executive decision not to cycle to work today - it's blowing a gale outside. Normally I wouldn't care and would laugh in the face of strong winds, but today I say "no". Which means I'd better run for the bus...see you later!
