PMA Express to BFP Thread #5

? Sorry, posted too soon. In any case, looking forward to more tests, and feeling very happy with the number of bfps on the thread nowadays!

Magpie that does surely look like a line to me! Tentatively very happy on your behalf! Does this mean that Italy did the trick

I can see something magpie! 100% get a frer, good luck!!

Cd2 of cycle 2 today - honestly feel fine as I think I'd have been totally shocked if I'd have got preg first time. I welcomed in AF with a mammoth sushi platter haha!

Asda had sold out of FRERs yday Anna which is why I got this CB early detection one. Are they known to be inaccurate?
I won't let myself be convinced yet either way. Just keeping an open mind...

Ooo magpie there's defo something there!! Eep!!

I think I see it too magpie! Altho this blue dye tests can be arseholes! Do you have a FRER?! Deffo think you should go buy one. I always trust them.

@Roseandbee oh well 8.9 doesn't seem very high to me at all. Fx your are very close to that and like you said a blood test on another day might shower it lower. I think there are also things you can do to help lower it slightly so that could be worth a try also? Is IVF something you will be considering? Guess it depends how long you wish to keep trying naturally before intervening

Xx

I bought one of those Clear Blue test up to 6 days early HPT and have got the squintiest squinter.

In fact the line is so faint I am not sure if it is there or my will to see it is causing me to hallucinate.

11dpo, of a typical 12 day luteal phase. Feel so crampy I am sure AF is coming.

Poas this morning and got a BFN. Hopefully I'm just testing too soon!

The idea of seeing the egg that becomes your baby is really cool rose.

@Rose that happened to my friend. They were having some fertility checks done and actually saw the egg that got fertilised that month! I have a really good feeling for you! :)

Also wondering where @dolly is and @salem?

Hippy, yep I certainly don't have a glass of wine a day! most days its at least two :) lol

Thanks @cakes and @bella i'm really routing for little lefty, i feel i have a bond already having seen its lovely roundness on the screen & i could tell my future child, I saw you when you were just an egg lol

Amanda I did some more googling, (slap on the wrist for me) and i found the NHS cut off point is 8.9, so hopefully i'm just above that as some places count below 10 as normal. I was also tested day 4, so i'm hoping that day 3 or 2 i would've been a tinsy bit lower as well.

FIngers crossed for you Sophsta

MissMagpie BFP due Sunday, I think I'm going to POAS Friday as SIL is coming and will want a glass of wine. Although I will probably plead a headache!

Bella it must be weird thinking of someone else covering for you! Fingers crossed for the girl you've been training.

@MissMagpie i didn't watch up but the girls in my team were talking about it over lunch and from what i can gather it was pretty fucked up. and scottish too! #ohdear #betterwatchmyback i'm in luck as there's a girl in my team who i've been training for her own personal development for a wee while now so hopefully she'll get a wee promotion to cover some of my job when i go off. it'll be good for her. she's hoping to have a baby next year/start of 2019 so just in time for me going back #didijustsay2019 #holyshit

Oh, I mean when is your BFP due btw, not AF. Old habits...

When is AF due Sophsta? Are you a POAS-phobe like me?! I just get so nervous, that I prefer to play the waiting game.

Hope your maternity cover isn't like the woman in The Replacement that was on BBC1 earlier this year Bella! Did you watch it?!!

haha @Hippychic79 that's true about the project taking ages. got a bigger project now though to train someone on my job! eeek! it's taken me 8yrs to get the hang of it as it's extremely diverse so hope to god i get a long hand over period #cantwait

anyone heard from @Dollydaydream2829 lately? xx

Hey ladies,

Got back from my holiday on Saturday and went or a beautiful day at a spa on Sunday I'm still on a high from how lovely it was!

Currently 11dpo and playing the waiting game. I don't feel pregnant and have zero symptoms but who knows!

My three things for today are:

1. It's still sunny (even if it's cold)
2. I've managed two days on weightwatchers (definitely an achievement!)
3. One born is on tonight

@roseandbee they said my FSH was 5.7 which they said was a good range. That was it. I know there is a threshold for FSH on IVF but not sure what that number is. I think FSH can vary from 3 to like 30. Lower being the better I think. But yes like you said AMH and FSH together give a better indicator.

It is bloody freezing here today. How are we nearly in May! I had to wait for DH for 30 minutes after work in a windy car park whilst getting hailed on 😂

Got enchiladas for tea though. And I love Mexican food!

@Roseandbee glad things looked good on the inside! Fingers crossed for lucky lefty!

@MissMagpie the wonderful conundrum of 'is it preggers symptoms or af symptoms' hate it!!

My 3 things today (this weather is not one of them #bbrrrr #wheredidthesungo)

1. Had DDs nursery review last night and she is achieving above and beyond for her age range. So proud and still beaming about the lovely things they said!
2. RLT is still going down a treat and helping my PMA because I like to be proactive
3. I have nothing planned tonight which is bliss after a busy time recently. Cannot wait to put my feet up...once dtd is done of course! #smepherewecome

Awwwww Bella your number 3 is super cute I love a man who can show his emotional side

Morning ladies

I've got a rare 10 minutes to myself at work without a constant stream of interuptions soo the first thing I do is check in on you lovely lot #youremyguiltypleasure

@Rose so this little lefty is going to do the job for you I have a feeling. how amazing that the docs can tell which ovary is releasing the egg #amazing hope the pains have eased off for you entering FW #goodluck

@Magpie you are a trooper for not POAS at 10dpo. ive never had the willpower. as @Rose said, the cramping is also BFP symptom so you just never know #notouttilyoureout #fingerscrossed

@Phase its weird to think we are exactly the same amount pregnant, so cool having a preggo buddy :) although one of my bridesmaids told me she's also preggo, a week or two ahead of me so I'll have her keeping me right too, its baby2 for her. i am soooo lethargic its unreal so hats off to you managing with a little one running around! #supercutecuddles

loving all the 3 things posts girls. we sure are a lucky bunch regardless of our TTC journey arent we? my 3 things today are:-

1. i got up first time alarm went off this morning and still riding that #PMA vibe by not snoozing for 3 minutes (then another 3, then another 3)
2. been working on a big project in work that has finally disappeared off my 'to do' list - what a feeling... been ongoing since last June! sheer delight
3. my DH has kissed my tummy every morning since our BFP as he wants to make sure he kisses our child every day of its life. such a smooshy lovey dovey thing to do but it makes me wanna cry (with joy) every time he does it #10pointstotheDH #iamtotesemosh

Have we anymore POAS'ers lined up ladies? No pressure to do it, I'm just so looking forward to another BFP :) #peaceout

Missmagpie a lot of people still get the crampy feeling when they get their BFP so you cant rule yourself out on that, keep up the pma, finges crossed for you!

Thanks for all the encouragement ladies. The doctor said slightly elevated, but didn't give me the figure, I was tempted to phone up and try and get it, but its my fertile window now and I'm gonna focus on the fact the doctor still seemed positive for now and Im sure ill find out the figure later (they usually send a follow up letter), don't want to stress myself out more if it turns out doctor google doesn't like the figure.
Did they tell you your figure @Anna2006 all I know is mine was too high to be a candidate for IVF, but i think because maybe it was borderline if I get a good AMH the doctor said the NHS would do IVF.

Hippy Im no saint for giving up caffine as I mainly only drink tea anyway and I don't mind decaf. The wine is the tricky one for me. I hope your tww goes speedily so you cant start enjoying your bfp :)
