Hippychic79 · 11/04/2017 12:55

So we are rolling on to thread #five –
We are not giving up, our PMA is still alive.

Put pure and simply,
We want to have babies,
God, please help everyone of these lovely ladies.

We support each other,
We are funny and kind,
And we will not be giving up,
Until we see that thick BFP line.

Anna Totally understand how you're feeling right now and am sending you big hugs. Thank you for your kind words chic, really appreciated.
I'm a big fan of vitamins - you're right, they make you feel like you're doing something. You take all the PMA you can from where ever you can today ... big hugs

I have my fx tightly crossed for you Hippy. Come on cycle buddy. One of us must graduate soon!

Feel a bit bleugh today thinking another month to go until a chance of seeing a positive. But awaiting DH vitamins so I'm placing all my bets on that. Stupid or not. That's helping my PMA and I'll take whatever I can get!

magpie I am in awe of how well you have picked yourself up and I am praying hard for a sticky bean for you next cycle.

soph no symptoms is great to hear for those of us who have not been upduffed before and are in the 2ww .... I know lots of people don't have symptoms and when you get your bfp I'm sure you don't want them ... but when in your in no mans land and your not sure if you've got symptoms or not .... hearing about ladies with a bfp with no symptoms is very resssuring so thank you. I'm sure it will sink in very soon :)))

anna awww cycle buddy I'm sorry ... be kind to yourself and do what you need to do to get that Pma going for lucky cycle 7 and get in that happy place :))

archies ..... eeeeeek I hope your wrong chic. I've got everything crossed for you!!

Well quick update from me ... 12 dpo and I still haven't tested .... and even going off the idea of doing it tomorrow.... thinking I might wait it out the old Skool way. I still have very mild cramping on and off ... mainly off and in all honesty I'm just nervous and trying my level best to stay grounded :))

Anna Flowers

Archies - fx she doesn't show and whatever you are feeling is pg related!!

Happy Friday everyone :)

ArchiesMamaBird · 05/05/2017 07:37

Anna so sorry that AF showed up. I think we need to have some stern words with her because she really isn't getting the message is she! Have some tlc so you're ready to get back onto the PMA train soon Flowers

I feel like AF is going to show today for me too. Just awaiting her unwanted imminent arrival! 🙈

Anna2006 · 05/05/2017 07:25

AF arrived yesterday so out of the game. Dammit.

Onto cycle #7!

BFP due 31st May!

Itsjustaphase84 · 05/05/2017 07:10

Sophsta looks like I've missed your bfp! Congratulations. How are you feeling. Did u do anything different this cycle.

flash really sorry to hear that about your grandad and the bb. I had to comfort a colleague who had a m/c recently. She is struggling to handle that her close friend is pregnant. I don't know how Im going to tell her I'm pregnant as she sees me at work every day Sad but I'll understand her reaction and I'll be there for her.

Hippy I'm very excited for you. Fx

I have random nausea at various times of the day. Got my booking in apt on 22/05 when I'll be 9 weeks. I'm 6+4 now. This trimester drags.
Had a head cold recently and I'm so shattered.

TFI friday ladies... will have a proper read tonight 😘😘😘

MissMagpie · 04/05/2017 22:26

Sorry for you loss Flash. Hope you are ok.

I'm ok thanks Hippy. Trying not to focus on what might have been and forget that this time last week I was pregnant...briefly.

Hoping I am gearing up for fertile week and I can get a sticky bean this time.

Sophsta · 04/05/2017 21:43

There were supposed to be flowers after that flash! Flowers

I lost my gran fairly recently and it's really hard. Even when you're expecting it.

Sophsta · 04/05/2017 21:42

Sorry about your grandad flash.

I still can't believe I'm pregnant and my DH keeps asking if it has sunk in yet. Definitely not! I also still have zero symptoms however I have a massive cold so they may well be hiding behind that.

Good luck holding out until Saturday hippychick! I have everything crossed for you!

AmandaP86x · 04/05/2017 17:38

Aw sorry about ur grandad flash 💘

I am bloated today defo think I have AF symptoms 😭

Just back from a work afternoon lunch and everyone had their babies with them so cute ha ha so got lots of cuddles.

Moo31 · 04/05/2017 13:58

So sorry to hear about your granddad @Flash Flowers

The sun is out in Northern Ireland too (although the sun always shines in our wee country!)

Hope everyone is well, almost the weekend! :)

Hippy - breathe, relax, you've done all you can, FX

CakesALot · 04/05/2017 13:24

Been there @ArchiesMamaBird 🙈

So sorry to hear about your grandad @Flashinthepan 💐 glad you're back with the PMA and on a dtd mission!

ArchiesMamaBird · 04/05/2017 13:21

Oh and I've just spent the last hour jumping around a trampolining park with DS. Let's just say that I'm massively regretting not keeping up with my pelvic floor exercises after having DS Grin #pissedmyselfabout8times

ArchiesMamaBird · 04/05/2017 13:20

Flash sorry to hear about your grandad and the baby bomb Flowers but FX you'll nail it this month Smile

Hippychic79 · 04/05/2017 11:26

flash I think the two days leading up to and the day of ovulation is the best time according to clear blue :)) and as ovulation can happen between 12-36 hours post positive opk ... I think getting one dtd sesh in for luck is optimum xxx

Flashinthepan · 04/05/2017 11:01

Thanks Hippy and good tip. At the moment I keep wondering if I'm having enough sex before O, but hadn't considered that perhaps I was giving up too early, which could well be the case!

flash Flowers so sorry to hear about your grandad and the baby bomb ... ouch .... not great timing from your friend there.
But yaaaaaay for ovulating ... keep dtd for a day or two ... you never know Peggy's exact arrival time ... i used cb dual opks this cycle and got my peak on Saturday 22 April but I also did a boots opk on the Sunday and the line was near as damn it positive ... xxx
