PMA Express to BFP #4

Bork rainbow!!! Didn't he notice floaters in his tea??!! #somedaystheydeserveittho!!! 😂

Just to make it clear I don't DEFINITELY have an sti. I have antibodies for one which suggests I have had one of the three forms of chlamydia (only one is an sti the others are avian flu and chest infection type). My test today was to check it's not an sti or if it is what to do. It's estimated over two thirds of the population have had/will have an sti in their lifetime. They're confused though as to why in the four years we have been together neither of us has had symptoms. Plus the baby hasn't either and I'll have had it whilst pregnant!

The funniest thing has happened tonight. DH has been complaining of a poorly tummy all day and I was starting to worry about him. I went to make him a cuppa tonight and the milk he has been drinking all weekend was practically cheese. He even commented about it being funny on Friday morning and still didn't do anything about it! DS only has breastmilk so didn't have any (luckily as he's already poorly) and I am dairy free by choice so didn't notice. I shouldn't find it so funny but I do! 😝🤢

Professor Brian Cox!!! Now we're talking ladies!!! I even saw D:ream in concert back in the day #lifegoals #thisgirlsawinner!! 🏆 Honestly girls I feel like a dog on heat at the moment!!! 🐶 Let's hope I don't start sniffing bums and squirting at work!! 😂

Hippy I think you should go for it!! 'Miss Hippy your subject is ttc and your time starts now!!' 😂 Seriously tho Hun all your feelings are totally normal and it's completely unfair but trust in the universe, you'll get your bfp. Xx

Oh rainbow what a nightmare!! But now you know you can get some treatment and fx get this all sorted out. 💐

Hey helly good to have you back and full of pma!! 😘

Good luck tomorrow Dolly!!! Let us know how it goes and how big sticky bean is now!!! 😍 Xx

Honestly @bellamoon I have no idea. As I said I have never been treated for an sti and therefore had no idea it might be a problem. It unfortunately means I've had it for about 7yrs so it's probably done some pretty serious damage. The sti itself is treatable but any damage will not be. I have an X-ray booked in provisionally and had an internal ultrasound last week. From the ultrasound she said she can't see anything but the X-ray will make sure. I have no idea how I'm going to explain it to DH though that I've given him a nasty!

Hello ladies, been a bit mia lately as trying not to think too much about this whole ttc business but as soon as fw has come round again I'm back to it! This is month number six and this is the one that's got me a bit panicked if it doesn't happen this month. Anyways got a bit of travelzoo deal so whisked DH away for the night for a bit of baby making fun! Anyway did us both good, let's just hope it is the month! I'm gong to need a few days to go back over all I've missed but hope all is well, whose the next to test?! Pma all the way!!!

thanks ladies, so essentially peak on 02/04 - 03/04 so 04/04 would be 1dpo.

well that makes me cd21 and 7dpo - jeeeeezzzz this is DRAGGING in #sake #aminutelastsalifetime

@rainbowsockstoday wow i'd never thought of an STD complicating a pregnancy before, i'm pretty clueless when it comes to this. if you don't mind me asking, is it treatable? therefore you can try again in time? x

Yeh ano they can't be right I suppose! Thinking of doing a chilled cycle
Next month no OPKs or charting or looking at app lol! See what happens!

Hippy He used to smoke about 20 a day, then quite over Christmas for about a month and he's started again now, but I don't think he's smoking quite as much. But he's promised he'll quit again because he knows how important it is to me (and yes he definitely thinks he's superman with super strong swimmers ). He's going for a sperm analysis at next month, and he had to ring to change the appt today because he has a big meeting, and he called me to say "My new appt is 25th May, but you'll be preggers by then so we won't need it"

@hippy "invisible" works too!

I had my smear test today to confirm or deny an sti that may be the reason I cannot carry a proper baby. Last thing I ever thought it would be as Ive never had nor been treated for an sti but my blood says otherwise. For those struggling for a long while it might be worth a check (no casting aspersions just saying in case)

I also saw my psychologist today who thinks I'm certifiably nuts!

I would go with what feels right to you @AmandaP86x rather than ovia. Those apps drive me bonkers!

Good luck @Dollydaydream2829! Sure everything will be just fine

Amazing @BellaMoon! Awesome summer look!

That would make me 11DPO then today. Ovia says I could take test today though 🤔

Bella would say ovulation is day after positive OPK roughly. So 1DPO is two days after positive OPK.

Good luck for scan Dolly. Sending you lots of good vibes xxxx

hippy I completely get what you mean about CD 1-5. I was thoroughly miserable this time last week.

dolly good luck at your scan!

Just been on a lovely horse ride and sitting in front of Mad Men now. Seem to have used all my energy!

ladies, please remind me, how do we work out DPO again? i got peak OPKs sunday 02/04 (am). would monday 03/04 be 1dpo or do you add the 24/36hours from peak? sorry having a brain burp xx

Love it Bella!!

Good luck Anna, got everything crossed for you that your bloods all come back ok for you

Aw Hippy PMA is so hard the few days after AF arrives. I've been struggling as well but we will pick ourselves back up again.

Know what you mean archies about trying everything and nothing seems to bloody work. It's infuriating.

I have my bloods taken tomorrow an then have to wait two weeks for results to see if they've change. CD4 for me today so hoping this week hurries up and Easter weekend arrives and we will all be back on PMA bang wagon!!!

Xxx

#GIRLGANG #letsgetsummerready

Hippy I am with you 100%!! I am literally doing everything right, and cannot understand why it isn't happening for us I asked DH to stop drinking for a bit this month (he's not a heavy drinker, but I've cut right back so I think he should give it a go too) and I've asked him to try and give up smoking again too. Although hos argument is that we were both drinking/social smoking when DS was conceived so that obvs can't be the problem

Dolly Good luck tomorrow, I'm sure everything will be just fine

Rainbow your DS is so gorgeous, here's hoping he's feeling better super quickly.

Amanda It's still early yet, and you are definitely not out unless AF shows up

Come on #girlgang, we need some BFP's to get this PMA back on track

Hope your little boy is starting to feel better now rainbow - he's so cute! And full of mischief still judging by the photo!

I was exactly the same with alcohol hippy - I was always the 'One can dan' out my group of friends! Made for a cheap night Haha! Which cycle is this for you now? Like you say, you've done all your research and trying new things so you're bound to be rewarded soon! Get DP on the Brazil nuts subtly - they're supposed to help with sperm?

Sorry about the BFN amanda - hopefully just too early to test!

Hope you managed to get some sleep bella - or at least successfully deep-throated your 'ice lolly' 😉

Nothing much happening on my front- hit the 9 week mark (hopefully!) this weekend. Had no bleeding since last week but I'm getting my scan tomorrow morning after my nightshift, so keep all your fingers & toes crossed for me that the little bean has progressed to a pecan nut with a good, strong heartbeat!

@hippychick79 as someone in love with professor Brian Cox I am well aware of #thingscanonlygetbetter 😂 he is my D:ream boat 😍 honestly though I think about him a lot. More than I would say is healthy!

rainbow your ds is so cute! Hope he feels better soon.

Ovia has been moving my fw around like a lunatic so am just going for loads of DTD and hoping for the best haha!

Wishing everyone some pma for a shorter working week (apologies to anyone who has to work the bank hols )
