We want to be upduffed – can’t be any more blunt!

So hop on board the PMA Express

And we’re all trying our best!

So come on Peggy Eggy and Doreen too – time for you to fuse…
Cuz we want to graduate with our friends, Ohb, Dolly & Moo

sarahb yeah I hear ya chic – I wish my dp was as enthusiastic about sex as he was when we first got together. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that he doesn’t enjoy it, it’s just that he’s tired a lot because he prioritises work. I hear ya on the wise old bird bit too… I’ve had a good few cycles where I’ve really got my hopes up… wasted tests, on one occasion I wasted two tests where I didn’t believe the first bfn… to be fair there’s only so many times you can poas and take seeing that horrible snowy white back drop. I’ve had a totally relaxed cycle this month, no opks, no pre seed and I have no idea what dpo I am…. So I’m gonna wait it out too. Sorry as I was typing I just read that the witch has text you… so sorry to hear this hun… ice cream and chocolate it is then xxx

Moo Enjoy the joys of the first trimester, it won’t be long until you’ve got yourself a nice little bump, or maybe a big bump if you keep snacking, just kidding 😊

Rainbow Not sure about the CM but I’m sure Moo said she had a lot of CM before her bfp. I’m definitely not sure about the cervix position…. I haven’t even attempted to monitor mine. Just read that the witch has rocked up for you too… what the actual feck is she playing at!!! Grrrrrrr

Soph Sorry to hear you got another BFN, fx your bfp is being elusive but failing that I hope the witch turns up sooner rather than later so you can crack on with a fresh cycle.

Ohb your right, by the sounds of it the other grads are in the same boat. It won’t be long till you get through the first trimester, I’ve read eases up in the second trimester.

Helly Sorry to hear that af got you too. Like Moo said when is she going to get the hint! I’m glad the PMA chat is helping you and you’re right, you’re one month closer to your BFP, so here’s to a fresh new cycle. I wouldn’t worry too much about what cycle number you’re on… I’ve read a lot of Emma Cannon books on fertility, she’s an expert in the field and she advocates prepping our bodies for 3-4 months before we start trying so really, I think you could easily say you’re on cycle 3…. Hope that helps xxx

Dolly love your PMA regarding your morning sickness 😊

Patient don’t blame you for using opks if your ovulation varies a lot. I only gave them a miss this month because they stressed me out so much last month, I figure being tense is not gonna help me get upduffed…. The other reason I binned them off is because we are not officially trying yet and I can’t control when I get dp into bed, it really depends on his work schedule… so I only get to make love once in fw and I’ve just gotta pray I’ve hit the sweet spot 😊

Yes ladies we are definitely overdue some more BFP’s #pmabfps

Sorry about the unwelcome visit from af rainbow, sarah and jelly. We must surely be due some new bfps now?? Thanks, hippy, for keeping up the pma, though. Spring helps too, I find. Hippy, I do try to have a relaxed cycle. But will start with opk when ov approaches. My FW varies a lot, and it would make me even more stressed having to dtd every other day for two weeks. This is what a toddler does to your sex life I supposeSmile.

Who are our next testers?

Moo31 · 31/03/2017 08:35

@helly yes as @dolly says I got my bfp on cycle 6 too so fingers crossed it's the same for you! Spending the easter hols on bed doesn't sound top shabby ;)

Dollydaydream2829 · 31/03/2017 08:10

Sorry for AF sarah and rainbows - what a horror. Hate when she teases. She did that to me in January and I've still not forgiven her. She got a VERY rude review on Twatadvisor so much so that she only came back once after that 🎉🎉

helly - cycle 6 after coming off the pill was my lucky cycle for my BFP and I'm sure moo got her positive on cycle 6 too so it's been lucky for us and can be lucky for you too! FX!

ohb sorry to feel you've been feeling so miserable. I've had bad nausea lasting all day too and being sick a couple times a day. Over the weekend, my nausea almost vanished (prob cos I was off work and managing to rest & snack when I wanted!) But I was super worried. When it came back with a vengeance on Tues, I was almost happy cos I thought yay! I feel pregnant again. So try to focus on the positive - horrible nausea means plenty HCG in your system! Smile

rainbowsockstoday · 31/03/2017 07:51

I take it back. Ow ow ow 😐 af is knocking and I don't want to open the door. She'd better bring chocolate!

rainbowsockstoday · 31/03/2017 06:46

So af due tomorrow and another bfn this morning but zero symptoms. Think this might be a sneak attack month! It's all such a tricky process!

hellybellyjellybean · 31/03/2017 06:18

Cd2 for me today! Af was late, which never happens so had got my hopes up a little but in my gut I knew it wasn't the month. Last month it really hit me hard but feeling a bit more upbeat this month, think it's the pma from this chat! One month closer! This will be cycle 6 though and this feels like a not so good milestone, Easter holidays coming up though so now have to spend most of it in bed! Grin have a good Friday ladies, fingers and toes crossed!

Argh @sarah when will she take the hint that she is NOT WELCOME! You know the drill - FlowersWineBrewCakeGin and be kind to yourself and prep your strategy for next cycle! 13 is a lucky number - fx for lucky 13 for you!! Take care of yourself xo

sarahboro1 · 30/03/2017 22:55

Oh boy, af has just text - she wants to come and stay for the weekend!! 🙈 I'm trying to ignore her but she's rather persistent and is being a real pain in my gut!!! Oh well, on to cycle 13!!! Xx

rainbowsockstoday · 30/03/2017 21:50

When the baby is born the thirst gets even worse. I'm really selling this I know 😂

Moo31 · 30/03/2017 21:46

Ps I'm with you on the thirst - ice cold water really hits the spot!

Moo31 · 30/03/2017 21:44

I know, it's like the craziest journey I have ever been on! I'm 8 weeks tomorrow - 1/5 of the way there! 4 weeks since I got my bfp. The first few weeks went very slowly but it's starting to pick up now that I am starting to relax a bit especially after my early scan last week. Ladies who is gonna be next to join us on this crazy journey?! I can't wait for you to join us!! Grin

rainbowsockstoday · 30/03/2017 21:30

@moo kids in general being exhausting is a real thing! I almost fell asleep stood up in a science lesson today!

Ohb0llocks · 30/03/2017 21:12

Rainbow that sucks. It's not that DO doesn't want to, I'm just so bloody tired.

@Moo31 I am exactly the same! 2 hours like clockwork and I'm downing pint after pint of water I've never been so thirsty.

@Hippychic79 I know, and I feel bad for having a little whinge but I know the other grads will probably be in the same boat!

sarahboro1 · 30/03/2017 20:31

Thanks moo!! Bit crampy this evening so we'll see!! 😊 Xx

Sophsta · 30/03/2017 20:12

Hope the sickness and exhaustion improve soon! It must be a weird mix of emotions to be so happy to be pregnant but also feeling crap!

Not sure about the creamy cm rainbow but mine has had brown in it but no actual AF. I just want my period to start so I can crack on with the next cycle. Did another test this morning (don't know why, I knew it would be negative) and now just playing the waiting game.

rainbowsockstoday · 30/03/2017 19:29

Does anyone else have LOADS of cm just before af? It's really thick and creamy but pure white so it's not an infection or anything. I'm due Saturday and my cervix is up and down a lot today so don't know what it means.

Moo31 · 30/03/2017 19:09

@Sarah - really admire your patience! No ad symptoms is positive :)

Moo31 · 30/03/2017 19:07

@dolly so glad you are feeling better :)

@ohb I'm the same re sickness and exhaustion. I have only actually been sick 4 times but nauseous constantly. I have pinpointed that I need to eat every 2 hours to keep the bad nausea at bay lol so in have a constant supply of snacks, biscuits fruit etc. I have got myself a pressure sore on my wrist from wearing my sickness bands constantly for almost 2 weeks lol so I have taken them off but I am apprehensive! First trimester exhaustion is apparently a real thing - I fell asleep sitting up, mid conversation with oh the other night haha! I'm trying to be in bed for 9.30 every night and get 9 hours plus but last night was 10.30 and I was wrecked today! I used to get 6/7 hours and was fine lol! This is such a strange and exciting journey isn't it!! Grin

sarahboro1 · 30/03/2017 18:03

I think she has a very good point hippy although that could prove difficult for those of us whose hubbys are less than enthusiastic shall we say!! 😳 I just don't want to test and be disappointed, I'm a wise old bird when it comes to this lark now and I've learnt not to get my hopes up, what will be will be!

Aww rainbow bless you!! Chocolate is the answer to all problems I find so go for it!!! 💐 Xx

rainbowsockstoday · 30/03/2017 14:40

Just cried at school because of mean kids. Very emotional this week. Af is going to kill me on Saturday. Might need oh to buy a massive bar of df chocolate

Sarahb yeah the extract is interesting, so i thought i would share it, not sure what to make of it though to be honest, I think the author is just trying to say don't just focus on having sex around ovulation and that ovulation can vary from month to month ... i don't know??!!
Wow another week to test - you've got some patience... I'm usually climbing the walls by cd27 .... although this cycle i have relaxed so much, I have to think long and hard what day I'm on :)

Good to hear you're feeling better Dolly!! Xx

Ohb sorry you're suffering, hopefully it will pass soon for you and you can blossom!! 💐

Thanks hippy, no symptoms today on my due date. I won't test for a week yet as I don't think I ovulated so I'm quite sure af will turn up. That excerpt is very interesting too!! God only knows what hubby would say if I told him fw was now increasing though!! 🙈 Xx
