PMA Express to BFP #4

I think it's because I've been feeling sick anyway and it just pushed me over the edge!

I'm sat in the shower now mning and trying not to vom.

I can't be the only person that sits in the shower for yonks mning on the phone. Clearly I live life on the edge

@Ohb0llocks aww that's a shame - so we can add smell sensitivity to a confirmed pg symptom OR are his farts usually vom provoking lol! 🍑 💨 are you planning any announcements as yet?

@notparticularlypatient ill make sure that our gathering happens during our guaranteed scottish summer just for you. so that's 21st july this year, as we only ever get 1 hot day haha #whiterthanwhite #whatsthatyellowthinginthesky

Haha @Ohb0llocks that made me snort, sorry!! And so the glamour of pregnancy begins,..!!

Spring is coming! I love this line-hanging-of-clothes-stuff going on! April to September are my favorite part of the year, and now it's just about to start. Yayh!

So many posts since last time I was on, I have had a crazy busy week at work (and have tried hard to ignore this TWW, only partly succeeding). Sorry for those of you that had to welcome AF. On to next cycle and spring pregnancies! We'll all have super healthy babies with all the D vitamin going on . I will probably join you, as AF seems to have decided to come my way. Spotting and cramping tonight, on DPO 9, not too thrilled by that. But not really too upset either. What will be will be, and with spring coming I fell quite positive that it actually will be. Soon!

magpie fx for promising symtoms!
dolly and moo all the best for the weekend and happy announcements
hippy you are absolutely allowed to have some time off the thread, I hope you feel more relaxed this cycle. Your bfp is just around the corner.
bella I am so happy to hear you are inviting us all to a baby gathering, thats gonna be fabulous - looking forward!

Hey all!!

Must catch up on the thread but wishing everyone well.

5 weeks today and had my first vom last night. DP farted whilst I was having a wee. Had to jump off the loo with my pants round my Ankles and throw up. Thank god id finished

thanks @Moo31 for the positive side to eye surgery. everyone i speak to tells me not to do it but i'm just getting the consultation just now. i've yet to make the final decision. eeeek

@SalemTheTeenageWitch i long to just pop my sun glasses on, rub my eyes (i do this a lot as i have hayfever), go to the loo in the night without having to put my specs on. iv worn them for 20yrs, the odd day i pop contacts in but i'd love to open my eyes and be able to see!

iv heard it can be more expensive depending on how bad your sight is so if the cost is too high i'm going t need to pull my best moves on DH as he's only caved to "checking things out" rather than signing a blank cheque! #bellabustsomemoves

the decision has been made for this cycles approach to TTC - we are POAS IC OPKs and DTD EOD and we'll see how we feel at peak ov time. i wanna get back to rumpy pumpy being full on passionate rather than a necessity! #bringonTTC

@Dollydaydream2829 aww lovely news that you're sharing on mother's day too. that'll be a fab announcement for all xx

Dolly I am CD30 and 8dpo. Reckon AF is due on Monday as I ovulated late this month.

I think a Mother's Day announcement sounds wonderful. Hope you have a lovely time. :)

@dolly how is your sickness this week? Hopefully it has eased?

bella - thank you :) my mum had one of her eyes lasered last week (to correct cataract surgery gone wrong ...) - she said it was totally fine, she had to put drops in for 5 days afterwards but she said it wasn't painful at all and she can now see! #lettherebelight #bellasgettinghereyesdone #seeyaaf #justonedrink #goongoongoon #youwillyouwillyouwill

Dolly - absolutely with you on that one #loveourweepmabubble I am only 7 weeks too but same as you - I want them to know and also want to spread the happiness - first grandchild on both sides. Also it's getting harder to hide it from my wee mummy especially with morning sickness - she makes me dinner on a Wed and I had to force it down last night. Feel queasy thinking about it lol!

Salem - its a private scan so I think its just literally the ultrasound and heartbeat. All being well I will have dating scan end of April :)

Magpie - every symptom is a symptom so yes - fx! :)

Cakes - I am salivating thinking of your washing line! Ours is a line from house to garage and I'm a short arse so I need a stool to put the washing on which makes it more of a chore than it needs to be so I want a shiny spinning line that is adjustable height!!

Thanks cakes - this will be my mums first and DHs mums third. So although I'm super excited to tell both, I know my mum will be SO excited! Where about are you in your cycle?

Haha yes salem! Great comparison!! I think I felt a teensy bit LESS afraid of joining the seniors back then though 😂😂I love the idea of #twatadvisor - someone should defo make that haha!

I was VERY bloated in the lead up to my BFP magpie and still am . I usually get bloating before AF is due so I didn't really count it as a symptom but I think it is a normal symptom cos of the increase in progesterone? Which CD are you on??

I don't know if it's something I have eaten but I am sooo bloated today. I am ravenously hungry (have been all week so blaming the return of cold weather comfort eating, not my greed!), but every time I eat I blow up. Is it a symptom???...

How exciting Moo!!! And best of luck for your scan. Will they do the dating thingy (!!!) and tell you how far along you are?

Dolly is it a bit like going up to the Seniors from Juniors?! I'd be a bit scared tbh. But go you for injecting some PMA. And best of luck for you telling the Mums on MD! I can guess they'll all be over't moon .

Bella holy shit cakes you are brave with laser eyes! I am too scared to have mine done so I will stick with my milk bottle glasses for now!! My cats are babies but little shits. Scrapping with each other and bringing dead things home for DH to sort out. I hope AF leaves you positive feedback on #TwatAdvisor (hahahah sorry) so that it attracts Dooreens to come and stay in the BellaB&B. Doreen is such fussy madam, she has to have the conditions just right, mardy mare 😂.

Why did that come out all bold???!!

@Moo31 and @Dollydaydream2829 so exciting that your making announcements and having scans! It's so lovely spreading that joy, a thing you don't really consider when having a baby is how much happiness they bring to others too. DD is the first grandchild on dhs side and utter delight they still have when they see her is adorable! She's the 5th grandchild on my side so a bit less exciting but she has a wonderful relationship with her cousins.

@BellaMoon thanks for hosting our baby get together 😂 I'll bake a cake!! Hope the consultation goes well. 👀

@Moo31 we have a monster washing line we inherited when we moved here. We can get 3 loads on it. A dream!!

Also, I need to inject some PMA into some of the scary antenatal threads! I've had a look on a few and with all the symptoms/lack of symtoms/scary stories, it's a wonder any pregnant woman remains sane!!!
--stays in comfy, cosy, PMA bubble #whatwillbewillbe --

Echo 100% what you say hippy - this TTC malarky is a lot of hard work emotionally and physically and one of the major reasons I joined this thread was to inject some PMA into my life and even on my worst days, I couldn't help but log on and see the lovely ladies posting with funny stories/positive advice and my bad mood would instantly lift. It made such a difference to a lot of the other TTC posts that focus on it 'never happening' - defo not an attitude to keep on board.
Good things come to those who think good thoughts

And as a couple of the ladies have mentioned, as much of a bloody witch AF is, it's also a very good signal that our bodies are functioning well. It's only a matter of time before Peg & Dor meet for a cuppie and bond for eternity!!

moo you must be so excited for your scan tomorrow! You'll have to let us all know how you get on. I'm also telling both the mothers on mothers day. Risky without the scan and only being 7weeks (based on LMP) but figured I'd need their support IF the worst was to happen anyway.

@moo thats such a lovely announcement plan - i'm doing a wee hand clappy excited fingers thing that I do whenever I'm buzzing about something. Let us know how it goes :)

and YES, i will certainly host a get together when the baba's appear #champs #sushi #pate #canthideafatty #partylikearockstar #recoverlikeageriatric

@salem obviate LOL brilliant. oh i loved both your wee kitties (note I said kitties not ti..ies haha i've had too much coffee today, soz)

Well my exciting weekend is kicking with off AF checking herself out of Bella's B&B - she's had her fill of biscuits, tea, hot water bottles, fresh linen and painkillers. She's due to leave positive feedback with trip advisor so that I'm rewarded with a BFP 16/04 :)

I'm then heading in to town for LASER EYE SURGERY consultation - the caps lock was on there as I was shouting my excitement. I know its only a consultation but i really really REALLY want it done and DH has finally given in #DearHusband not #DickHead for a change :)

The rest of my weekend will be fairly chilled and alcohol free (promise to myself - not that i drunk that much but by god I suffer badly) xx

Haha Salem different strokes for different folks and all that! Haha! Good work ;)

Thank you Magpie :)

Yes..... obviate!!!! It wanted to change it to obvious, which is the most ironic thing when TTC!!! Nothing is bloody obvious in this friggin game!!!!

Bella Bram is the tabby! Mags is the black beauty, she is a spoilt little shit!!!!

Moo LOL that does not work for me!!! Although I "mistakenly" just left my CB digi opk with the solid smiley face "lying around". Cue DH's enquiries muahahaha my master plan worked!!!!!

After tracking OPKs now for 4+ months I know I obviate on CD16 - I just confirm with a IC opk and CB opk. I recommend this ladies, saved me so much stress!!!!

So excited for you Moo! What a lovely weekend you have in store.

Hippy we cross posted earlier and i am only catching up and seeing your post now - fab post. You have such a way with words and thoughts and feelings. I really admire you. Positive Peggy's from now on!

Salem hope you feel better soon! I find just taking my clothes off works - he's easy pleased! Sorry I can't be more help on that front!

Amanda - she's on her way. I think for an ave 28 day cycle you should ov midway (I could be wrong) ... my cycles are 30 days and I ov on day 16 I think.

Cakes I love getting washing on the line! In fact I am treating myself to a new line this year! Oh built himself a putting green in our garden last summer so I am taking some space for me and having a new washing line! Haha!

And yes ladies - it's "when" not "if. As in "when we all have our babies we ARE meeting up" - Bella you sound like the hostess with the mostess so I'm nominating you to host!

Re weekend plans I have been willing this weekend to arrive for 3 weeks! Tomorrow I'm having an early scan (eek!) and then on Sunday we are having lunch with both sets of parents (first time ever everyone will have been together for a meal due to oh parents living 100 miles away) and we are going to make our announcement. I'm super excited!!

Ha ha @cakes I know that's the only benefit of working here 😂 However when I was pregnant I got a scan thinking everything was ok and there was no heartbeat 😥😥😥 so that was a bit of a nightmare don't think I'd get scanned on my ward again!!!
