@mrsbarnettsbaby good luck today at the smear. i hope it brings you positive answers xx

BellaMoon · 14/03/2017 09:14

@MissMagpie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 whoop whoop static smiley yyyaaaayyyy (or as we say in Glasgow YALDY)

you've given me a silver lining as, at now cd19, i'm back to flashing smiley faces (despite getting a big fat circle inbetween) with absolutely no sign of LH surge on IC OPKs - so wee peggy eggy has still to drop it like it's hot, pop it like it's hot (she sure does have an attitude) 🎶

BellaMoon · 14/03/2017 09:07

@curliegirlie thank you for sharing, it's nice to hear that miracles do happen. and welcome to our #PMA thread xx

Hippychic79 · 14/03/2017 09:06

Bella Just had a thought reference your opk’s – I would ring clear blue customer care line and ask them what they think. As they produce the tests, I will be surprised if they can’t shed any light on your fluctuating flashey smiley’s. Love you posts mate, actually laughed out loud over my coffee with maca powder this morning 😊

Rose thank you hun – I’m very superstitious so fx the number plate was the universe’s way of telling me to hang on in there! FX the fecking witch stays away for you hun. She’s with me at the moment, so I’ll try and have a word in her shell and tell her to take a vacation to Australia for 9 months!

Cakes Thank you for your kind words – the meltdowns were a bit delayed … I went on the thread saying I was ok, went to the gym, smashed it, came home and it all went to rat shit…. Crying, picking an argument with DP and having a roll up… but I only had one, it was disgusting but I fecking needed it!

Patient Thank you, I think you’re right, BFN’s and CD1 is the shittiest time of the month and we need to cry out the stress and frustration. To be fair we had the days booked off anyway, we were supposed to be going to a spa but I requested we cancel it as DP needs to keep his Doreen’s cool 😊 I’m freaking baffled by the delayed ovulation we are all experiencing this month, I really don’t think it’s a coincidence, I genuinely believe its environmentally driven by the imminent season change… hope you manage to get down and dirty as Bella says. #bringonthespringbfps

Amanda Flowers, love and hugs for you. I was CD1 yesterday too, so looks like we’re new cycle buddies 😊 #everycloud

Rainbow I love your post – ‘I’m not on speaking terms with DH but I told him…’ love the contradiction and completely understand. Good on you laying the law down, us women need to be given the respect we deserve. #girlpower

Phase 8dpo, whoop whoop… fx for you hun. Will you be testing early or you gonna wait it out?

Soph Sounds like you’ll get your static soon – good luck with dtd, hope DH is feeling better today. #wouldloveanallfriday&saturdayweek

Glad you like the quotes this morning ladies 😊
And yes we have nearly filled a thread in nearly 10 days … can’t wait to start a new one… this one has been on a bit of a downer…. We need to ramp up the PMA ladies #comeonwegotthis

Welcome back NannyG - fx for you, sounds like you’re in with a good chance! I completely understand why you would want to wait to test, I feel the same, those BFN’s are fecking soul destroying! I’m going to try and relax a bit more next cycle, not sure I can bin off the OPK’s though!

MrsB Good luck at the docs – let us know how you get on or how many weeks pregnant you are #pmaforever

Curlie what a lush story and very inspirational, thank you for sharing. Welcome aboard the PMA Express to BFP

Archies hello 😊

Magpie Good luck with keeping up with the SMEP plan, my DP wouldn’t be able to perform under pressure either tbh, I think this is normal for men. And as for your late ovulation – we’ve all ovulated later this month. I had a 30day cycle this month and it hasn’t been that long since I’ve been tracking since last June! It’s the universe I’m sure.

definitely something in the air for the late OV this cycle ladies - it's reassuring to know that i'm not alone on this group hug

@NannyGR as above, thank you for sharing
as we had a very similar convo at the weekend so i'm not sharing OPKs results with DH. iv yet to get over my POAS addiction, one day at a time xx

@Hippychic79 thanks for the very apt quotes this morn... are you a mind reader? xx

MissMagpie · 14/03/2017 08:49

Ladies in cd21 my static smiley finally showed up! 5 days later than the previous two months. Why is my body so inconsistent?!

We dtd last night at are doing every other day as according to SMEP. Going to again tonight and then probably Thurs AM as my DH is feeling a bit under pressure to perform! Hopefully we will be covered. I think 4 days in a row is a bit much to expect really!

Love the PMA Hippy. My SIL should read the second one. All she does is moan about being pregnant. Makes me want to boot her in the head sometimes!

ArchiesMamaBird · 14/03/2017 08:48

Mrsb Good luck today, fx you get some answers.

Curie What a lovely positive story about conceiving your DD Smile

CakesALot · 14/03/2017 08:47

Love hearing stories like that @curliegirlie, just shows that even against the odds, these little wonders still happen. Thank you for sharing and welcome!

curliegirlie · 14/03/2017 08:35

Nanny If you dtd on the 3 days running up to ov, I'd say you're definitely in with a good chance, even if you missed the day itself.

I got a very nearly positive opk today (cd15) which I'm very pleased about as we also dtd the last 3 days in a row (which with an 18 month old, I can't remember the last time we managed that!! It helped that we were on holiday...) and am hoping we can have some fun tonight as well (It is 14th March - steaks at the ready ;-)). I'm especially happy about the opk as I've been oving late since AF returned after DD and I can't imagine being able to sustain the dtd so diligently, or even every other day, for another week....

Anyway, I haven't really introduced myself yet, but I love all the PMA in this thread. DD took 16 months to conceive so it's easy to get disheartened or think it's not going to happen second time around, and so I need a bit of PMA I think!

As a bit of inspiration and positivity for you ladies, with DD, I'd recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, DH's sa had come back with very low sperm count, we had just got the ball rolling with seeing the fertility consultant, DH was due to have more tests, I should have had a HyCoSy that month (but postponed as we were going away, so didn't fancy either the sex ban or antibiotics) and BAM! Finally our two pink lines! 💗

Currently on cycle 6. BFP due around 29th March.

mrsbarnettsbaby · 14/03/2017 08:07

Off for my smear this morning and hopefully find out where my af is!

Hippychic79 · 14/03/2017 07:51

Everyone seems to be ovulating later this month ... it must be a seasonal thing ... I thought it was because I was stressing but I don't think it's a coincidence that the majority of us have ovulated late!

Hi ladies,

I've had some time away as I completely lost my PMA this month!! Had a chat with hubby and he explained how he was feeling under pressure and was struggling to enjoy dtd. So have decided to not use the OPK next month and just hope we do it around the right time.

I ovulated slightly late this month on Cd 16. We dtd Cd 13, 14, 15 and 20 so have probably missed our chance this month.

Bfp/af due on sunday/Monday!! Am definatly not going to test until then! Can't face the disappointment again.

How is everyone else getting on??

Congrats on the bfp OhB

Sending lots of PMA to all you lovely ladies, I have tried to scroll back but seems I've missed a lot in the past 2 weeks!!

CakesALot · 14/03/2017 07:22

Great quotes this morning, especially that last one!

Also, how have we nearly filled a thread in just 10 days?!!

Feeling a bit tired and emotional today. 6dpo = limbo land!

Sophsta · 14/03/2017 07:08

Happy Tuesday. Love today's quotes.

Hope we all manage a PMA today, even if we feel like punching Tuesday in the face.

Hippychic79 · 14/03/2017 06:35

Happy Tuesday ladies xxx

@Itsjustaphase84 my cycles can be from 28 to 35ish days. And lp is usually 11. So this is a long one, but not unheard of. Fx for a bfp for you in a couple of days!

Sophsta · 13/03/2017 21:46

I've still got flashing Smile so am hoping I get my static one tomorrow. DH is feeling crappy today so as much as I want to jump his bones I feel this would go badly.

I always struggle with PMA on a Monday, if only life could be Fridays and Saturdays.

Itsjustaphase84 · 13/03/2017 21:31

@notparticularlypatient how long are your cycles. I noticed I got +opk late in this cycle at day 17. I usually get them cd13/14.

Sorry to those who got Af over the last few days. Trying to be +ive but this will probably be me nx week. AF due 19/03 since ov pushed it back a couple of days. Im 8dpo xxx

BellaMoon · 13/03/2017 21:22

@AmandaP86x sorry to hear about AF. it's utterly shite that she's showed, hope you're ok chic.

@Rainbowsockstoday it's amazing how men need things spelled out to them before they see the error of their ways. hope you're ok too.

thanks for the OV support ladies. i just did my pre-bed pee and guess what - we're back to flashing smiley faces... WTAF peggy, make your mind up! after the low fertility circle earlier, we DTD anyway, as soon as i orgasmed i got a sharp shooting pain in my right side, so much so that i had to bend over to each the sharpness of the pain. it lasted less than a minute but it was v v painful. anyway, a day in the life waiting, wondering and willing peggy along.

my stats are gonna be all over the place this month as god knows when BFP/AF will be due now that i'm still waiting to OV at CD18!

#ifeelahashtagcomingon #makeyourminduppeggy

rainbowsockstoday · 13/03/2017 21:05

@hippy I'm not on speaking terms with DH but told him the plan, gave him strict instructions and told him he does things my way. We got a letter today from the fertility dr who has shook him up a bit I think. On CD9 today and starting to get positive opk lines now so if it's going to happen he needs to decide now.

I can be a bitch if I want to be and he knows who runs this house so if I go on strike he'll starve to death with no clean clothes surrounded by toys and mess. 😆

My stats are:

Ttc #2
Cycle 22
Bfp due 01/04/17 (soooooooo many jokes could be played!)

AmandaP86x · 13/03/2017 20:47

Oh well AF made her appearance tonight ☹️ Lol was half expecting her though!

So my stats

TTC #1
Cycle 5
BFP due 14/4

notparticularlypatient · 13/03/2017 19:59

Fx that dreams about Jim Carey is a pregnancy sign, RoseSmile

Hippy, sorry for af. Good thing you had a good cry. I think we should allow ourselves a meltdown from time to time in this stressful process. And well done for arranging time off work in next FW!

Bella, your opks are indeed confusing. As you say, you might already have ovulated. But in case Peggy eggy is just a bit late to the party, you might not want to let dh of the ttc hook just yet....? A delayed smep maybe? I have read that it might take some time for cycles to start working properly post coming off bc.

It seems like all these delayed eggys have inspired my own to the same behavior. So today, finally, the opk has two dark lines at CD 23. The overpriced cb monitor said high this morning, and not peak. I'll go with the two lines on the IC and count tomorrow as ov day. Means that dtd will need to happen tonight, dp has a terrible cold, but we will just have to ignore that. Oh, the joys of ttcConfused

CakesALot · 13/03/2017 19:49

Eurgh, apologies for all the spelling errors! Monday is my day at home with DD and I'm always spaced out by this time!!

CakesALot · 13/03/2017 19:48

@Anna2006 my afs have also reduced annoy and got lighter. We're always a couple of heavy days and a medium and a final light. Now medium, light, light. Bit I've been on and off different types of contraception for years! Have been off all contraception since august though and this is what I've been getting.

@Hippychic79 sorry about the meltdowns. Totes normal though! Still loads of time to make that winter baby though and spring like fertility too xx

@ArchiesMamaBird I started out this month with the intention of opks etc but ended up giving up with that and just having lots of happy sex! Definitely improved my mood and I think dhs too. Even if this month isn't my month,I think we'll continue like that. It's been quite lovely

@BellaMoon so frustrating! Perhaps you're peggy whizzed down your tubes so fast to meet her Doreen that you missed registering her on the cv opk?! No harm in a bit of wishful thinking hun. Fingers crossed the tests were a load of shite and you hit that sweet spot just fine this month!!
