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.

Oo good luck @Flashinthepan! Really hope it's not af playing tricks on you xx

Just broke the news about afs arrival to DH and he's proper gutted 😔 wants to do more to help so has agreed to take supplements this month and watch his diet and alcohol intake a bit more. #everylittlehelps He's also suggested takeaway for tea! Winner!! #backonthehealthwagobtomorrow

Almost the weekend ladies! Happy jumping to those heading into fw!!

My 3 things today (I like doing this!)

  1. I diagnosed and fixed a problem with the car this morning. All by myself!
  2. The blossom on next doors tree is beautiful. Like springtime snow!
  3. My little girls gorgeous curly mop of hair. It's just adorable 👧🏻

Flash I have everything crossed for you (well not my legs because I'm approaching FW Wink) that you had an IB rather than AF and that you get your BFP Smile

Moo31 · 20/04/2017 17:21

@Phase - yes 1st cycle drinking RLT was the cycle I got my bfp - same for you?

@Loa - interested to hear what your side job is? Inspire me!! :)

@Amanda - hope you survived the nightshift ok and are feeling a bit better today!

@Hippy - ride 'em cowboy!! Grin

@Flash - keep us posted, I am watching in eager anticipation of #pmabfp7 eek!!

Welcome back magpie glad to hear you had a lovely time in Italy. Wow that was lucky getting a static on your last stick, going to Italy is lucky .... and it happens in threes so fx you get your bfp too xxxx

Hi everyone - I'm back! Not been on here for more than a week as went offline in Italy so have just tried to have a major catch up during quiet periods at work. Had a relaxing time away, save for a bad cold, annd really got to chill out with my OH for the first time in ages.

So... congratulations Bella and Phase - amazing news. So, so happy for you. All this PMA is really working!! It is so good to see more BFPs on this thread. We all really deserve it (living through yours in the temporary absence of my own!).

Sorry to all those who got AF - onwards and upwards. You can do this!

TTC can be such a trying time. Trust me I know. It took me 12 months to conceive my DS and I am on cycle 10 now - I hear ya Archies. We will all get there.

So I took my opks on holiday and ov'd about cd21 so am definitely back to my longer cycles now. About 5dpo now. Got my static smiley on my last stick so that was lucky! Though the copious amounts of EWCM seemed to perfectly match so I knew what was going on anyway.

God luck testing Flash. Who else is due to test soon?

Flashinthepan · 20/04/2017 10:29

Ok I'm confused but trying to keep up PMA. Bleeding stopped yesterday morning soon after starting and have had nothing since. Boobs still sore. Tomorrow I will consider myself later so will test in the morning if still nothing.

loa yes yes yes please join in the banter and chatter ... we do all empathise with the moping scenario ... cd1 your definitely allowed to be pissed off and the Pma is generally always absent for most of us at this time .... but yaaaaaay ... you've got some good things going on and it sounds like getting pg will be the cherry on top of the lovely cake that is your life.

Thank you ladies - you're all the best! I usually follow along silently but I will be sure to join in much more. I've done an evening of moping today is a new day! I am grateful for:

  1. being with the man of my dreams
  2. I am on a half day of my 'day job' giving me an afternoon of working on my side hustle/ soon-to-be job of my dreams
  3. It's pay day!

@hippy love your gratitude list! Sounds like you've got a busy couple of days ;)

Morning you lovely ladies

loa so sorry to hear af arrived for you ... I think we've all had cycles where we're convinced it's happened and the pain and upset is horrendous.... cry it out and like cakes said ... be kind to yourself and build yourself back up ... see it as one month closer to your bfp and keep the faith ....
Pma does make like easier and time does fly (I know it doesn't always seem to when ttc) .... but it won't be long until your back in fw and pumping for England :)))

Quick update from me ... I'm cd13 today and am overjoyed to announce that I got a flashy smiley this morning .... I was concerned that I didn't get the flash last time I used these dual opks but have since learnt that the first day you use them they always go to blank circle as this is the base line that they measure from ... the last time i used the dual ones , I'd started with the pink single hormone ones and then ran out of them on cd14 so started with the dual on cd15 and of course that was a blank circle and then cd16 it went straight to static .... the moral of this long winded story is .... don't mix the dual hormone opks half way through testing 😂
Xxx

@AmandaP86x yes it may be too late by the time it arrives.
I think it's worth while from cd1, to make the most of it.

I always thought i produced a healthy amount of ewcm but this cycle was unbelievable. I wiped, and a big 'drip/thread/gloop' hung down to my knees!!! My knees ffs!!!!!!! Sorry about the tmi not really Wink

BellaMoon · 20/04/2017 06:42

hope the rest of your shift went well @AmandaP86x and defo try sleep it off, nothing worse! i took a few sudafed when i had it last week/week before but they are so full of caffeine it counteracted the bloody sleep. take it easy xx

so sorry about AF ladies. i think during those first few days of AF we could all commit murders as you're so hormonal, disappointed and angry. hence why there should be an obligatory holiday! it would help community spirit haha. nah it's shit, no point in sugar coating it. sending loads of love and hugs 😘😘

my wee bella sure is cute these days. think she senses things are afoot and is trying to make herself adorable so her place is well and truly secured lol #lovemyweebells

AmandaP86x · 20/04/2017 00:01

Thanks all u lovely lot!!!! Just feeling sorry for myself 😂 Only the 7 hours to go now.

So the tea just drink it until you've ovulated? Might order some but I'm CD9
Now maybe I'm too late? Time it arrives? Xx

ArchiesMamaBird · 19/04/2017 23:15

Cakes and loa so sorry that AF showed up, she reallllllly needs to get the message that she most definitely isn't welcome anymore!

Amanda sorry that you are feeling poorly, get yourself to be after your shift and sleep it off as much as you can Smile

CakesALot · 19/04/2017 22:13

Thanks @Itsjustaphase84 I really like the idea of having it chilled! Have ordered some so will give it a go! I don't opk in general,I'm too disorganised to properly keep track of it!! I get a lot of signals that I'm oving though so tend to trust my instincts

Itsjustaphase84 · 19/04/2017 21:15

@Moo31 were you on the RLT too the cycle you got your bfp??

@CakesALot yep 3 cups at dayupto when ov is over. Chill it, it's better cold I think.from Holland and Barrett. I drank the Heath and Heather one too.That's the only thing I did different this cycle. Good luck, sorry to af, what a cow but be nice and she will quickly buzz off. Oh and I didn't opk this month either. xx

AmandaP86x · 19/04/2017 20:49

Over an hour in and I want to cry!!! My boss was like u can go I'll try get cover! But then they make u feel bad !! So now I'm raging lol anyway I am due back tomorrow night so I'll be telling them in the morning I'm not!!

sarahboro1 · 19/04/2017 20:42

Evening ladies!!! Sorry af has shown up for some of you, eat chocolate, drink wine and plan your revenge for your next cycle!! 💐

Loving the pma and your 3 things to be thankful for. Here's my contributions:
☀️ Starting a family is my last life goal left to achieve so not far off completion!!
☀️ My ponies are living out so I don't have to muck out tomorrow!!
☀️ Summer is on it's way!!

CakesALot · 19/04/2017 20:06

It's what this place is for! Love the honesty about attention seeking on Facebook!! #kudos we all do it 😂😂 enjoy that chocolate!

loababy · 19/04/2017 19:39

I've had a little cry, posted an inspirational quote on Facebook to seek a little attention and just got back from Tesco with a bag full of chocolate!
Massive health kick starts tomorrow... going on holiday in a couple of weeks so not all is bad. Just super regret not being on it all this month now and putting on weight if anything! Thanks for listening to me rant @cakes sending lots of happy wishes your way x

CakesALot · 19/04/2017 19:29

I'm also thinking about the copious amounts of chocolate I now have a good excuse to consume and the copious amounts of gin I'll be chugging down on Friday night!! #everycloud

Seriously though @loababy, wallow if you need to. It's all about being kind to yourself on cd1 and doing whatever feels right. I need to have a cry I think. Not had the heart to tell DH yet. His heartbroken face will set me off I'm sure 😭😭
