The Rat Smacketeers will all get BFP's this month and we are Brooking No Argument!

[TheLittleFriend]

See a Rat. Smack it.

Congratulations, whims! Great news!

maybe, I wouldn't be too discouraged about a fainter line yet. The same thing happened when I was pregnant with DD.

Imps, not sure of the quote - I'll got for Beedle because she has just posted before me.

Oooh smegs we love a bit of symptom spotting ere, fire away

imps was it far?

Yes to the symptoms Smegs!!! Fire away!

(No to Beedle, no to Far, no to me... I'll give you a clue - she has posted today...)

Ooh, I might join you in a HXB (as they're known chez whim) Scarlett

Thank you all so much for your loveliness.

I'm impressed with the canoeing imps. That's new! Did you pick me up some red wine and sloppy cheese? Oh bugger, I can't eat them anymore.

I am now officially brooking extra hard for you all, and am celebrating by cooking beef stew for the weekend.

Definite symptom: stockpiling food. Other than that, I don't really have any.

It wasn't me... I don't think??

Not you Scarlett!

Wow, this is a fun game, isn't it?

Congratulations whims!!!

Still keeping my fingers crossed for your faint lines maybe :)

I think we need a clue Imps - is it a current brooker or a graduate?

Okay, clues:

1. She's a current brooker, not a graduate;
2. She has posted this morning; and
3. She is quite "petite"....

Mmm, hot cross buns...

Right. I have:

? Sore boobs! This is odd as I never get sore boobs before AF. Always a first time though.
? Mild nausea. No headache that could have caused it. Snacking seems to keep it at bay.
? Peeing more frequently than normal.

I have the occasional crampy feeling tho, and am pretty sure I won't be needing a pee stick tomorrow. It's ok, we knew we totally missed the window thanks to the hystero-wotsit this month.

Off to let DD into the garden. She wants to 'do digging' Betting all my plants will be off to flora heaven pretty soon?!

Little! Is it Little?

you beat me to it smegs

Little Little Little

Am sitting in the sunshine by the thames with my pop. Will be keeping an eye on you lot though!

Ah, I've already had my guess :(

Awesome Whims!!!!

Congratulations and

Sooooo, you're off to Yankee doodle dandy America are you not?

Whoop whoop! Go Whim well done my love!

Of course we need to know first. Last BFP I had you all knew days before DH!

Lets face it you are all always going to know first - there's no way I'd admit to OH how often I actually test can you imagine!! He'd be all

I don't know about anyone else Smegs but in my view you are totally with child. Are you going to PIAR tomorrow? We'll all be here to hand-hold you...

You are right - it was Little!!

Okay, next one:

I love buying kitchen gadgets. I've got this random garlic crusher that I bought in Poland which is my favourite.

Which Smacketeer Said That?

maybe

Not Maybe believe it or not!

Afternoon all. A quick lunch time post from me. Off on holiday next week (just to N. England) and so last day in work for a while. Trying to get things sorted before I go. Had a weird couple of days here though - my ex/current/non-boss yesterday took me out for a 'chat' and basically told me to resign. He's told two other people here the same thing recently. Why?? I mean, I don't like it here, and am thinking of leaving, but still.. a little bit strange considering we've been losing people for a while now.

I POAS this morning, just because. BFN but I knew it would be, as I'm only 8DPO. My temps are just higher than normal recently, and I've been feeling really sick with slight stomach cramps the last couple of days - but not off my food, and tend to feel better when eating. I thought if I was PG enough for symptoms I'd be PG enough for a stick to know, but these faulty sticks seem to be everywhere these days.

Whim OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Maybe You are pg, you're just using the wrong sticks. Out of interest, what did you mean when you said "pretty much negative"? I can't help wondering if you're just dismissing all faint lines? Go get yourself a digital or 10 and pee on them for the next few days! It may seem an expensive hobby, but everyone know's kids are expensive - so get into the habit now :)

Scarlett sorry to hear you had such a shock from the IVF referral. It must be hard when it actually happens. I find it easy to think of IVF in a relaxed way because I'm not there yet. I do think it will be the next thing mentioned for me, but I'll have to wait till mid May to find out. Lots of the ladies on the 10+ month thread seem to be getting to the IVF stage now, maybe you could read back through the thread and see what's been said about it? There's also one lady who's put it off for 3 months longer until she's comfortable with it. So there is always that option for you.

I should get back to work. I'm sure there's a potential BFP I'm missing here, and lots to talk to everyone about. This post has already taken longer than I was intending though, so I shall go back to lurking working.

Imps that one is by Whim I do believe. X
