We are jolly well going to have the number of babies we want and we will BROOK NO ARGUMENT. Join us if you refuse to take "no" for an answer and like smacking rats.

[Imps9]

We will get there. We will all of us get there. And we will brook no argument.

Good afternoon lovely ladies!

Solars happy birthday to Little Solars!! Have you been totes emosh all day? Goodness me, time goes so fast does it not. What have you done for A's birthday?

Loops you are waaaaaaaaaaay overthinking TTC and putting far too much pressure on yourself. Molotov is right - if you'd not had these miscarriages you probably wouldn't have even thought about whether or not to have a third - there's really no need to question yourself, lovely. You will damn well have #3 and that is that!

Sparks ooooh lovely re: being a SAHM! What has prompted that decision?

I've just got back from the Land of Scot where I was godmother to Mr I's nephew at his christening. A lovely weekend had by all. Am 8dp2dt today - have had a few cramps and a speck of fresh blood yesterday followed by a speck of old blood which is OBVIOUSLY in implantation bleed. Might do an IC cheapie tomorrow - got nothing to lose.

Right, pub beckons - see you all later :)

Fingers crossed for you Imps

Yes Imps!!! I'm so excited for you!! And congratulations godmother!

Definitely the right decision Sparks lovely

Mol is totally right. For those who fall pregnant easily, most of these worries won't occur. But when you have time to think and then overthink, we become our own worse enemy.

I posted too soon. You will make friends Cups lovely. I didn't make friends from my yoga class either. It was always suck a quiet place with no interaction! Thanks for complimenting A. She is rather cute. But my god has she got stamina!

cups I made NCT friends but not others, as with NCT you kind of expect to meet up whereas others I found it hard to move past friendly chit chat in the classes. an iPad is vital though for night feeds/sitting in dark with non sleeping baby... gosh 25 weeks! fabulous! I think of geek and Scarlett too

loopy I'm so sorry. I really hope this was just one of those horribly common things and the meds will sort it

imps omg. good luck X a trillion!

beedle you OK?

My friends have mixed experiences with NCT - a number of them still regularly see their NCT buddies even from 5+ years ago (one of them has annual NCT trips away with 7 or 8 women she met in her class!). Others just haven't gelled with anyone in their class and don't stay in contact at all. Most are somewhere in between - chat on FB a fair bit and see them from time to time but not best buddies. It really can only depend on whose in your group. How much are the classes Cups?

Keep what news on your embies?

checking in and brooking for imps

Also brooking Imps

Morning lovelies! What a gorgeous spring morning it is here.

Well I clearly used a bum stick rather than a pee stick this morning as it was as negative as negative can be. Clearly wrong though, given that I am very heavily pregnant being as I am 3+4.

You clearly just need a few more days for that HCG to rise lovely Imps

I'm sure its just too early imps at least for a cheapy stick, on the other hand an FRER might work soon if you happened to have one fall into a ramekin of FMU :o

cups lovely to see you, I'm sure you look like you're blooming despite what you say.

and maybe lovely to see a pic of you and A, she is gorgeous. You need a new FB account with just brookers as friends so we can see pictures more often :o

loopy don't feel guilty, I'm sure the only thing your boys will remember from Sat was the McDonalds, nothing bad at all.

AFM I'm slightly less bloated and definitely less uncomfortable, still the odd twinge of pain though. And how on earth am I supposed to symptom spot when I can't tell if its residual pain from EC or implantation?!! MrB wants me to wait until OTD to test, so far I have agreed but I might change my mind next week :o

imps def a dodgy pee stick. Hope a more agreeable one finds you soon.

loopy am so sorry to read your sunews. I hope the consultant can give some encouraging news to help you.

beedle surely you won't wait for otd??? That is just bonkers long. Any idea what they make tou

Argh fat fingers pressed post too soon.

Any idea why they make you wait so long?

Any more testing gob?

Forgot to say loopy don't feel bad about the time. Chances are they'll only remember the McDonald's. You aren't being selfish at all. You are hoping to give them another sibling. Someone who'll be with them and know them forever. You are hoping to give them another person to go through life with, to support them and giving them a back up in case one of their siblings is a bit rubbish like my brother..

Am symptom spotting like a good un. Had mild cramps yesterday in the womble which must be implantation for sure. No sore boobs (yet) and nothing else to report. Got a stressful few weeks months coming up at work and at home. Anyone got any thoughts about whether this will affect my chances?

Am surrounded by pregnant people (boss, other senior person I work closely with, our nanny, one of my best friends are all around 3m or less). If I wasn't trying it would be driving me nuts.

Morning all - had a lovely weekend and DC are knackered

Had to nip out to Tesco's for my mum so got two FRERs. Lines still very faint. Did an IC when we got back last night and it looked a bit stronger but fainter this morning. I also feel less tired and more "periody" (TMI!). Had two chemical pregnancies before I had DS so think this is going the same way. A little bit sad but will get back in the saddle (ooh err!) in a few weeks

Lovely imps - too early to be testing. I hope you will buy a more agreeable per stick for use in a few days

maybe - your photos were just lovely. Wish you lived near me as have done NCT twice and made some lovely friends. You could join one of our groups - think you should move!

beedle - all sounds very positive!

hinky - don't subscribe to stress causing problems. The month I conceived DS, I was having regular heart stopping moments at various Employment Tribunals - it was probably the worst month ever at wirk! Fingers crossed you will be fine

sparkle - I'm a SAHM now and I do really like it. I might do some tutoring in evenings to stop my brain frazzling away but I just love the fact that we basically have no childcare stresses at all - lot to be said for it but know it's not for all

Hi Lovelies
actually on a computer for once rather than phone!
gobbo could it not just be a slightly dodgy one with less dye in it or something?
imps are you sure you dipped the right end?! we all know your diffed.
loopy as the title of the thread says ''we are jolly well going to have the number of babies we want'' totally understand your feels on it though as i often wonder if i should put us all through potentially more mcs. but i think hinky put it beautifully and is absolutely correct.

hinky i dont think stress will have an affect (effect?) you are a brooker and therefore already preggo anyway.
sparks slightly jell of your new job as a sahm!
beedle when is otd?
not much to report here am at work, why do work days always feel so long!
i have an appointment with my gp at the end of the month so i may mention ttc again and see what help if any they will give me. i wonder if i can talk him in to perscibing me my meds with out going private again.

All these preggo hormones flying about seems to be leading to some negative thoughts that shouldn't be there. We need to work on getting the hormones out of your heads and onto the pee sticks :o

pasta are you checking in between contractions??

oh imps my lovely, it's just too early

maybe i've just looked on the computer rather than my phone, so just seen lovely A. Cutiepie!

sparks that's exciting news to be a SAHM!

honks that's most definitely a sign. Everything is...

Brookers, we have put up a poor show this month. But now I have OPKs and a renewed resolve to smack that rat, there will be no stopping us next month.

solars!!! time is flying isn't it. I can't remember if you had any frosties. Are you thinking of trying again?

gobbo i hope you're wrong, but you guys obviously get egg and sperm together easily enough, so next month will be your month if this one is a CP.

trix deffo mention to your GP. I think you had a fab one last time so hopefully they can give you the meds. how exciting you're thinking about going for it again. It must be scary to think of the potential of more MCs, but look how wonderful they are once they finally arrive, worth anything, imho. What does your DH think?

I'm starving today, that is surely an early preggo sign, right?

Hink I have no idea why I have to wait so long to test, I think most places test around 15dpec. Maybe because they don't do a blood test or provide a pee-stick they want to be sure that any pregnancy will show up on even the crappest pee-stick. Unfortuneately mrB believes them and thinks the universe will collapse if I test early, and this time with OTD being a Friday there is no obvious day when we won't be at work for me to test early. Sunday will only be 12dpec, which is possibly too early to be sure even with an FRER. and I only have 1 FRER and they don't sell them here. I might try an IC around then, so I can kid myself that its faulty/too early if its negative :o

Imps - I am obviously using the same dodgy sticks as you, as I too am clearly very heavily pregnant, though the sticks say otherwise.
Luckily, due to internet cheapies now being so bountiful in my bathroom, I can test every single morning until they confirm what is already patently clear.

Gobbo - I really hope you're wrong and that this works out okay for you.

All those of you who are also as diffed as I am, any symptoms yet? I am having loads of creamy discharge (sorry) and am still nauseous, though I guess this could still be post-Mirena-body-havoc.

Beedles - yes, being starving CLEARLY means you are diffed. As am I, because I have been at the Babybels all morning. I never usually snack, so this is obviously a SIGN, yes?
