    CD 23 for me and I REALLY want to POAS. However, I went to the loo to get rid of FMU before I could because I know it's too early anyway. I think I'm just over excited with the bfp's!

    :j:j:jCongratulations Shelley!:j:j:j
    Is this your first? How long have you been ttc?

    Hi Q, it's my second child, my son is nearly 5.

    This is the third cycle, my AFs are all over the place so i'm looking forward to the nine month break. x

    Thanks x
  • Oh my word!! Congratulations smartie and shelley!! :T:T:T:T

    Thats cheered me right up. Before I came on here I was fuming. I'm after getting off the phone to the mammy and she had some news. My baby brother has been living with the chaviest article ever. He's miserable and has said for months that he wants to leave her, but she must be excellent in bed as she always changes his mind. She freaks if he so much as talks to another woman, even his sisters. She's so lazy, she's never worked a day in her life, and she doesn't wash. When my brother comes home from work he has to clean the house and make the dinner. They have no money as he's still an apprentice. And now she's pregnant. The mammy thinks she's done it on purpose to trap him and I would tend to agree. My first thought when I found out wasn't "its not fair, should be my BFP", it was "any one of the ladies on this thread deserves this much more than her".

    And now two of you have BFPs!!! :beer:

    Smartie

    Fabby news. Am absolutely over the moon for you! You've made my Sunday and actually given me the impetus to galvanise myself out of my PJ's and into some real clothes!

    P.S Forget about my cake that you *owe* me; I stuffed my fat face last night so cake really is the last thing I need right now!

    Oh god that's awful for your brother. Maybe she is lying because she knows he wants to leave her? Think if I was your brother, I'd be insisting she POAS in front of me, if you see what I mean.

    Things will happen when the time is right x

    I think I've forgotten to congratulate you! I'm so sorry.

    Many many congrats to you and your OH. Hoping you have a lovely peaceful and trouble free 8 months.

    I was really not MSE when testing. My afs vary between 30-36 days. I tested every day from day 33, owch. I used poundlands cheapy tests and a clearblue and they were negative up to yesterday. I bought tesco cheapy tests which came up negative after the recommended three minutes. I went back the the bathroom to empty the bin of all my tests a few minutes later and found it was positive. Sent OH out this morning and got a BFP with a Clearblue. The testing urge is really hard to resist x

    Wow smartie,

    Congratulations on your * BFP * !

    :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    You said you'd write in in huge letters when it happens, so I thought I'd do it for you!

    I was starting to worry that your hopes would be getting too high, what with the cake list. As for the list, I still want my cake, but I suppose it would get squashed in the post. How about you choose a recipe and we all make it ourselves, then post pics up here and have a virtual tea party to celebrate?

    Congrats to Shelley too :T and sticky dust to both of you xxx
    Proud to be a moneysaver! :cool:
