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.

i am in constant awe of medical science and procedures! how fecking amazing is that. obviously i'd prefer it if you didn't need it but wow, just wow.

and how fab that it comes with a fertility bonus #worththedildoexperience

Roseandbee · 18/04/2017 20:16

No course not Bella. They inject a die into your uterus so they can try and see if there are any blockages in your Fallopian tubes. It's while your awake and they use a dildo cam to see what's happening lol so it's not like an operation. I'm a bit excited about it because it's supposed to increase your fertility for about 3 months after it (but that's not why they do it, it's just like the last check before IVF)

BellaMoon · 18/04/2017 20:10

it's good you can keep busy @Roseandbee i'm terrible at decorating! i like shopping tho lol!

what's a hycosy if you don't mind me asking? x

Roseandbee · 18/04/2017 18:21

Everyone's gonna have dips in their PMA, the prob with TTC is gets a bit all consuming. I'm positive I'll get there in the end but the waiting does suck! I'm throwing myself into a lot of house projects, I'm quite into decorating and stuff so that's helping me have something else to think about occasionally.

Anyway some good news for me today as I've been trying to get in touch with the fertility people to book in my hycosy for days so I was worried it wouldn't happen this month. Finally got through and managed to get booked in for the 24th #progress

BellaMoon · 18/04/2017 14:31

i know what you mean @ArchiesMamaBird its hard to be a ray of fucking sunshine all the time haha. don't get me wrong, there are days there ain't no positivity going on in my mind cos i'm just a moody cow and i want to physically harm my nearest and dearest (have never, honest officer). it happens to everyone so you're a trooper having been a PMA'er for 10 cycles #massivepatontheback #keepthefaith

and a row, jeez, aren't they the worst! making him suffer, hehehe a girl after my own heart #restingbitchface

ArchiesMamaBird · 18/04/2017 13:50

Yes Bella you have made me feel better already! And I know that I am SO lucky to have my gorgeous DS, so I'm honestly not moaning (not too much anyway Wink)

It's just that 10 loooooooong months of being super positive are starting to take their toll on the old PMA. I'll be fine tomorrow, just having a wobble because me and DH had a barney last night and still aren't talking properly yet (I like to make him suffer Grin)

BellaMoon · 18/04/2017 13:31

hahahahahahahaha @Hippychic79 sooooo good to have you on form with that sucker punching #PMA! 😘😘😘

BellaMoon · 18/04/2017 13:30

thank you @ArchiesMamaBird 😘

the thing is, none of us know how long our journey to BFP are going to be. i hopped on the bus late january and i fully expected to be trying for around 12/18 months. i have been amazed by the changes in my body, i almost fainted when i ovulated first cycle and then freaked out that i was having unprotected sex with my DH (first time ever in my life). #schoolgirlmentality

anyway, guess what i'm saying is, we all have our own journeys, some shorter, some longer we will never be able to fully control when the BFP will show but what we can control is how happy, motivated and positive we are along the way.

i stressed out big time during cycle 2 (peggy did a runner) and it did me no good whatsoever, i was miserable and was so angry with my body. so when AF rocked up, i decided to be super kind to her and to myself, my #PMA went through the roof and i genuinely believe it helped. even if it didn't, it made me a nicer person to be around #crabbitcuntcycle2

all the tips, advice sharing and PMA boosting that goes on here amongst the #girlgang is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and i cannot wait until every1 of us has that BFP we so deserve.

Cakes yes yes we will all be upduffed when the time is right - I am big believer in that your life is pretty much mapped out for you. Let's just hope and pray that time is soon for all of us :)

Flash Sorry to hear you got a BFN, but fair play for having the guts to test... I didn't even have the courage to test last cycle. FX that your spotting is IB and that your BFP is just hiding round the corner.

Archies you're very welcome ... I too needed a kick up the butt this week, that a lovely Scottish friend of mine gave me :) I think getting down is acceptable now and again... this journey is tough... and i constantly feel like a child, with the inner voice in my head constantly saying 'are we nearly there yet'.

Congrats Phase! What a lovely easter pressie.

So I'm on CD27 and I think 12 dpo. Been spotting a few days but still sore boobs. Tested yesterday and BFN.

Not sure if I'm late or not as cycles were very short and LP only 9/10 days until last cycle which was 28 and LP 14.

Thinking must not be upduffed as have lots of spotting red/brown. If no full AF by Friday I will test on Saturday.

CakesALot · 18/04/2017 12:25

I was going to say just that @ArchiesMamaBird! I constantly marvel at DD wondering how the hell she got to be so big and grown up?? I have almost no recollection of TTC last time and even pregnancy memories are a bit vague! "This too shall pass" and we shall all be upduffed when the time is right xx

ArchiesMamaBird · 18/04/2017 10:35

Thank you so much Hippy, that's given me a kick up the bum to start being positive again. I just honestly never knew how much of an emotional roller coaster ttc can be! We'll all be looking back on this next year when we have our gorgeous babies in our arms like "do you remember how stressed we were getting every month?!?!" Smile

Morning Archies ... it's absolutely normal to feel down ... the ttc journey is tough ... every month feels like an eternity .... I think no matter what your circumstances are .... everyone of us on here is over the moon the see a bfp .... but there's always that voice that says .... 'it's not fair.... I want my bfp' ... well life isn't fecking fair ... took me 30+ years to realise this .... however i have also realised that there is infinite positivity and good luck to go around everyone ... and this includes bfps .... you're right of course ... these bfps were well overdue and so are everybody else's ... as the program so rightly says ... there is one born every minute and on that basis there are plenty of bfps to go round and they will spread like wild fire across this spread .... come on .... who could argue that bellas attitude isn't contagious? She laughed in the face of adversity ... and for that I hold her in very high regard ... she's set a good example and I'm confident that more bfps are just round the corner ..... remember we're not all getting off at the same spot ... but we are all going to destination bfp xxxxxx

Good Morning Ladies!

I've been checking in all weekend but haven't had chance to post anything (whenever DS saw me on the iPad he would shout at me saying "It's my iPad, get away!!") I've created a monster Grin

Anyway OMG Bella and Phase!!! Over the bloody moon for you both!

We were well overdue some BFP's and then 2 come along at once!

Although the Negative Nancy in my head is now telling me that there must be something wrong with me/DH as we're now 10 months in and not even a whiff of a BFP whilst it seems to be happening much quicker for everyone else Confused

But in the spirit of PMA I'm going to stop being a Debbie Downer and stop worrying about it for now. The sun is shining, I'm feeling nice and refreshed after the long weekend and my FW isn't too far away Smile

morning ladies

hope you're all well 😘

i'm grand after a 10hour snooze-a-thon!

so this morning i'm channelling my inner Beyoncé and have come up with a #girlgang song as our mantra, so to speak!

Just played this full blast in the shower while having a wee dance to myself. obviously when my eyes are closed i am beyoncé, paler, with freckles, and slightly less toned (hahaha i can't even type that without laughing) but hey, that's the small details.
