Maybe a nice shiny new thread will get us all enthusiastic again. I am on my rubbish diet so I only have nuts and beans to put out on the table. Oh and gin of course ;o) Anyone got any cakes to tempt me with?

Ding ding....let's...go

Do you think I have gone a bit mad

that would be "spells" . the comma was a mistake in all the excitement, honest

GryffinGirl · 18/04/2008 13:46

p.s. MOB those Strepsils you got me are a bleedin' life saver at the moment (well, voicesaver!)

oufton - when can I move in, oop north ? I can supply excellent references, am clean and tidy and I promise I'm not a screamer when BD-ing

luvingtinkerbell · 18/04/2008 13:47

wow another bfp i cant believe it
congrats jollybear good luck with baby bear
i have lost count of how many bfps we have had this week are we at a record

JollyBear · 18/04/2008 13:51

Thanks abby, GG and tinker! I still can't believe it, a jollycub

I rang DH and told him about the cheapie positive and he started laughing and told me I was allowed to get excited once I'd done the second test. I've got permission to be excited now!!

I can't believe there will be so many symptom spotters on the December thread. There must be something in the cold northern air

mibbes · 18/04/2008 13:54

and again... Congratulations JB !!!! PMSL at jollycub how exciting !

Someone hold abbymeg down and tie her to the thread - don't let her leave until we have a full house of BFPs, she is the luckiest charm ever !

GryffinGirl · 18/04/2008 14:05

Jolly's got a jollycub

GryffinGirl · 18/04/2008 14:06

I'm being silly now

JollyBear · 18/04/2008 14:09

Awwwwwwwwwwww! I hope my jollycub is as cute as that but cute in a different way GG

GryffinGirl · 18/04/2008 14:10

.....a little less hairy perhaps

luvingtinkerbell · 18/04/2008 15:28

lol @ a little less hairy aww i love baby bear cubs
well i will have to try and get a bfp for the southerners and start our luck rolling
come on northeres ahhup send down any spare luck you have for us southerners apples and pears

JollyBear · 18/04/2008 15:37

Good idea tinker. I'll see what I can find that will help you recreate the northern atmosphere Hope that helps

Oufton · 18/04/2008 15:44

Oh jolly that is wonderful news I'm so thrilled for you, yay all round for the run of BFPs!!!! Clearly the rubbish weather oop North is making lots of people turn to bedroom activities!!

GG the room's ready whenever you want it, mood lighting, barry white and vats of pre-seed!!!

Abbymeg keep wearing those robes woman, you are the bestest luck charm ever, maybe you could start doing bedroom blessings for a fee?

Oh and thanks to everyone for the support for my BFN, I knew really that it would be but on the upside at least I can enjoy some vino over the weekend

abbymeg · 18/04/2008 15:45

My fertility powers may be strong, but possibly not strong enough to ensure giving birth to a real bear cub .

[Abbymeg pauses to chuck a giant bag of highly fertile baby dust over all 2WWers.]

Right. This is my BIG TIP. Possibly TMI alert...

Have read that rear entry positions are an excellent way of conceiving, according to some of the pg ladies on other threads. I'm saying nothing else except I would highly recommend giving it a go (around day 7). Really wasn't sure whether to share that with you ; but after 6 months of really trying we obviously did something differently and I want you all to get BFPs. I've convinced myself that if we think something has worked, best to share and I do think that was what did it. I had really bad cramps for two days afterwards, which was way earlier than I would have expected to ovulate (Cd 8 and 9).

If you want to totally copy, I'd drunk red and white wine, magners and vodka on the night in question too. I had a mega hangover the next day.

Ahh, it will all make such a charming conception tale for little DC in the years to come.

I've just had my stitches out. My neck looks like someone's tried to cut my throat. I told the nurse about my BFP and she said that it would be rare for a baby to be harmed by all my pill popping over the last week. I'm allowed to take paracetamol for my neck pain, but still can't bring myself to do it.

abbymeg · 18/04/2008 15:47

Should I be throwing Yorkshire puddings rather than babydust?

abbymeg · 18/04/2008 15:49

Also, just re-reading my post - still got EWCM at the normal time. Given the BFP this means I got pg before that happened.

I am certain it was then. It's been a barren month.

Oufton · 18/04/2008 16:01

Abby that's really interesting that you think it was CD7 conception but EWCM later, hmm I'm wondering if we've been too slow to get on the horse. I shall be on it this weekend with renewed vigor, can't promise it will be doggy but shall be stocking up on magners to help things along

And you should always be chucking around yorkshire puds, I absolutely love 'em!

mibbes · 18/04/2008 16:07

I am chucking a kilt, a haggis and some bagpipes down South .
Interesting about position as I'm sure Fairy said that was what she did differently on BFP cycle get to it doggy-style ladies !

JollyBear · 18/04/2008 16:09

LOL at the cocktail of booze abby! Hope your neck is feeling ok after the stitches. It sounds v painful.

We didn't do anything different at all ... oh apart from I read TCOYF and Zita West. TCOYF does give lots of detail about how to tell if you are fertile (sometimes too much detail!) which I did find useful and, of course, amusing. Oil of Ulay CM anyone?! We did bd everyday I had EWCM but we did that last month too.

oufton I didn't ov till CD 16 so don't discount a late ov either! Get some Magners in stock

Oufton · 18/04/2008 16:15

How long is your cycle jb?

And if it's good enough for fairy as well as abby then man alive I'll be barking all weekend

Bucky2008 · 18/04/2008 16:21

pmsl at Abbymeg if drinking too much is a hot tip, where is my BFP..huh??? Huh???? . Actually I am not a raving alcoholic just a connisoir of premium Gin! But still, where is my baby exactly? Lost obviously.

However, ....a jollycub hurrah. I think I am psychic, I told Molly, that JB was going to have a baby this morning. She just looked at me and peed in my shoe. Congratulations, aren't you glad you decided to get going straight away . This is a super positive week, I love all the surprises!

GG I am 'working from home', and actually I have been which is why I didn't see all that was going on. Where is the credit crunch exactly? I don't even have a live project and I am run off my feet doing stuff. Obviously the credit crunch is in the same place as the Buckybaby.

And finally, just so I can rant....

Joooooooolllllllllllllllyyyyyyybbbeeeear!!!!!

I'm so so pleased for you . That's so amazingly exciting! I wonder if the bloating we both had around ovulation was a symptom?

I want everyone to have BFP's am racking my brains frantically to try and think of a magic thing we did. Er, we did do it twice in 24 hours around ovulation time - that's quite unusual for us nowadays! And, um, ooh everyone go get acupuncture!

Abbey you must have a few more fertility spells in you! Sorry to hear about your neck is it painful? Has the BFP sunk in yet?

Bucky2008 · 18/04/2008 16:32

X posted with you all. Obviously I won't be doing anything 'doggy style for a while' . Well not until the pee stops anyway. However, hurl the haggis this way Mibbes. You lot crack me up!

OP posts:
Bucky2008 · 18/04/2008 16:35

If a thread has only one poster, is it still a thread? . GG You will be gone before me. DP has not rung up for his results yet!

OP posts:
Oufton · 18/04/2008 16:40

Ah bucky I'll still be here, we shall drink gin and discuss sexual positions together. Fear not.

JollyBear · 18/04/2008 16:41

Thanks bucky. You and Molly knew before me! I really wish collective willpower could give you and all the two week waiters BFP. You'd all be pregnant with quads

You have my sympathy with the weeing. I had a cat which wee'ed on everything when we moved house. I remember one memorable morning when I put my shoes on and found she had soaked them both through, lovely stinky urine soaked socks and feet first thing in the morning. Anyway, the vet recommended a plug in pheromone thing which sounds, frankly, odd but it is meant to calm them down with cat smells and stop them making everything with their scent. They might do a similar one for dogs. It might stop her trying to mark her territory.

Thanks hatty, mmmmm Seabrooks crisps!! I love the salt and vinegar and spring onion best! I forgot about the bloating , an early symptom for us both there.
