Ninja did Keep baby girl!

Oh Gen I know I shouldn't but your last post made me Grin

Im annoyed. My experiments appears not to have worked. Oh well. I suppose it is almost home time...

Geeklette · 04/07/2012 16:06

keep it was ninja, she had a super-fast sneeze birth, nice healthy weight baby.

gen that is so true, we are all so private about our troubles that it makes sense that some if not many of the announcements we hear also have their stories behind them.

boo lovely to see you back my bear, been brooking like mad for you x

I am living proof that even longterm TTCers can inadvertently say the wrong thing... was just talking with my team mate about kids in general and he said 'with DS1, I mean DD2, no, it was DS1...' 'Come on,' says me, 'you've only got the two, make your mind up!' 'Actually it's been four' he said. Cue egg on face for geeklette Blush

Geeklette · 04/07/2012 16:09

boo just to clarify, you are my dear, not my bear. Stoopid fingers!

morning all

It was very quiet here last night, was there something good on the tv? Or have you all been trying the idea of having sex, now you realise that's what you need to do to make a baby :o

I'm probably going to ov next week whilst we're at my parent's, oh goody! Well I suppose it could be worse, after that I won't see DP for 2 weeks, so at least we're together at the right time :o

Congratulations to ninja Thanks

Morning Beedle

I can confirm I was testing out the theory of having unprotected sex to get pregnant Grin I assume that's what all the other brookers were up to!

It was my second peak on CBFM plus I got a positive OPK. Am a bit surprised as it's about 5 days earlier than I usually ovulate. Now I will have to keep up the rat smacking longer than usual Angry

Are you coming back to the UK then for a visit?

BeedleTheBard · 05/07/2012 06:44

cup surely you'll only get 2 peaks, you won't have to keep "practising" for ages will you?*
I am indeed coming to England for a visit, I haven't been for ages so I have planned lots of shopping :o

*I know very little about CBFMs

OP posts:
CupcakesAndCocktails · 05/07/2012 06:50

Yeah you only get 2 peaks but the CBFM has been wrong before. It once gave me a peak on day 19 and my cycle was 40 days long so I probably didn't keep dtd for long enough. I should really temp to make sure I ovulated but I can't be bothered Smile

Geeklette · 05/07/2012 06:54

morning all,

beedle I decided against trying that theory out on the basis that it is probably just another old wives' tale. I'll stick to what I know (having a glass of wine and mooching through conception sites). My method is obviously working, since it seems everyone around me is falling pg so I must be giving out great vibes!

cups surely you'll be rat smacking for less time, not more? If you've ov'd early then your 2ww will be the same length as normal, just starting from now. Brooking this is the one for you.

Too tired to post more this morning, these dark wet mornings make me feel like autumn is here already. Ridiculous as it's only July! MrGeek will be away tonight with work so I think I'll aim for an early night.

Geeklette · 05/07/2012 06:55

sorry cups xpost

Princesslovelyboo · 05/07/2012 07:15

I also was not testing the theory, I was at a boxing class, but also the OPKs and Ff have not told me it is sex week yet!! Right, off to pilates, catch ya later.

keepitgoing · 05/07/2012 07:35

No anniversary bfp for me, just a highly unwelcome old hag. Bugger

So tired of all this

Plus points, can have bubbly tonight. Af should have gone in time for appt on Tuesday in case they need to do anything. Can have remaining travel jabs without worrying.

Geeklette · 05/07/2012 07:47

Oh keep I'm so sorry. Your positives are looking good though I know nothing compares to what we all hope for each month. it is exhausting. Be kind to yourself, enjoy your anniversary for what it is. Your turn will come very soon, I'm brooking no argument.

SecretSparkle · 05/07/2012 08:00

I was having a half hearted attempt!!

keep so sorry, can't believe the nerve of the bitch!!! But you're right, champagne tonight, silver lining!!!

GreenOlives · 05/07/2012 08:14

Morning ladies! Sorry to hear about AF's unwelcome visit keep but I hope you can have a happy anniversary anyway and enjoy drinking some bubbly!

Well done to those of you who are trying out the unprotected sex theory - can't see how that will work but it's worth a try anyway Wink

keepitgoing · 05/07/2012 08:15

sparkly any ov sign yet?

Just said to dh, when we make our baby in Thailand we have to give it a Thai name...

GenericDietCola · 05/07/2012 08:39

Keep sorry about AF, but enjoy your anniversary and drink lots of bubbly!

I'm impressed so many of you were having sex last night - seems you really will try anything!

SecretSparkle · 05/07/2012 09:01

Wow keep imagine a Thai baby?! That's what your Blates waiting for, a proper good conception story!!!

No sign of OV, I'm resigned to the fact that its not happening this month, but still bonking just in case!! Did have a bit of pant snot but not enough to get excited about!!

keepitgoing · 05/07/2012 09:23

Am sure you will, somethings just delayed it. Keep up the sexing and it'll happen when you least expect it!

I just read the July thread. Why oh why do all these people find it so easy.

I will be a good brooker tomorrow, its my day off (though I still brook for you, I can't manage it for myself)

SecretSparkle · 05/07/2012 09:30

Keep you're allowed a day off, just one mind!! Im sure your right, its just delayed but its mega frustrating!!! Some people do find it easy, but then they won't be having brooking babies will they? I mean lets face it, brooking babies are better than any other babies!!!

SecretSparkle · 05/07/2012 10:15

could someone explain why the maintenance dude has just come in turned my office heating to full blast, and walked off?!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/07/2012 10:40

Morning all,

So sorry AF rocked up Keep but I agree, bubbles are the way to go later. Are you off out for your anniversary? We are all brooking on your behalf.

Geek it doesn't really feel like we have had a summer does it? Though the tubes are so hot, we could always go down there and drink cocktails pretending we are on the beach?

Sparks maybe this too is why the maintenance people have whacked the heating on? The heating in my office has never been turned off. I think I have acclimatised to it. It hit 30 the other day.

I'm very tired today brookers. I would like it to be the weekend please. That is all

SecretSparkle · 05/07/2012 10:59

maybe that is a very plausible explanation BUT he has just come round to turn it off again, weird!! I'm very lucky, I have my own office, with an individual themostat :)

I think you should go home, start living up to your bosses opinions of you :o I did my picot edge! I messaged you on ravelry, I just cast on losely (cant crochet), and its a bit wonky but so glad I did it :)

I have nothing TTC to add!!!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 05/07/2012 11:19

Hmm, interesting Sparks maybe he was recreating our brief British summer?

You're right, I should go home. Why bother trying if he is against me Wink

I have copious amounts of the pant snot. Which is very early. The last few days I have been running to the toilet thinking AF was here! I'm only on CD13, there is no way the accupuncture can be working this quickly! Plus MrMaybe is on nights and working overtime, so there has been no shagging Sad
