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.

phase I'm so pleased the relaxed cycle worked for you. And it's soooo good to have another grad on the thread :))

I relaxed last cycle for my sanity more than anything else but as my dp isn't fully on board with ttc yet I don't get to dtd that often so I've decided to use opks this cycle and I'm on a mission now to join you grads.

Incidentally I would like to say thank you to the grads for staying and wanting to stay and as a member of this group who is still ttc#1 (at 38 years old and too many cycles along the road).... I want to send out big Pma vibes to everyone still ttc .... I love the fact that we're a mixed bag of ladies in that some of us have kids and are ttc more dcs .... some are fresh grads and some of us well .... you know the rest .... I guess what I'm trying to say is .... it's much as it's nice that we all have different experiences.... there's no denying that this is at times a very tough journey .... but this express train .... bus whatever you wish to call it ..... is definitely taking us all to destination bfp and we are all here to support each other regardless of which stage your at .... I don't think we need to worry too much about the list .... it's too much effort .... I think we will all be keeping each other posted as appropriate.... unless of course anyone wants to do it ....
Xxx

@Sophsta that looks lovely!! Wish I was there x

Anna2006 · 17/04/2017 19:05

Congrats phase. These BFPs seem to be rolling in now.

I could do with some of that luck rubbed off of me tbh right about now..!

Sophsta · 17/04/2017 18:51

Congrats phase! So chuffed for you. This must be lucky thread number 5. I'm only 3dpo so a while for me to go before I test. I'm on holiday in Cornwall with my DH and my parents so it's passing quite nicely at the moment. I've attached a photo of where we are for those who were interested.

Omg congrats phase! Those are good lines. And you and Bella having Christmas due dates is super exciting. What cycle were you on?

Itsjustaphase84 · 17/04/2017 16:00

Thank you all.. I don't want to leave this group so I'm hanging on for a good while for more bfp!!!! Hoping the recent luck will rub off on you all xxxx

Itsjustaphase84 · 17/04/2017 15:59

I didn't OPK this cycle as relaxed BUT the ONLY thing I did different was drink a shit load of 'Raspberry Tea' by Heath & Heather. It has the raspberry leaf in it plus some fruity flavours so a little more palatable . I drank equivalent of 3 cups a day from cd1. I'd make 2 cups up in a jug, cool and drink straight from fridge.its very refreshing as I couldn't drink that much hot fruit tea a day and another hot cup during day when I needed it.I bought it from Holland & Barrett. I stopped drinking it once I thought ovulation was over.

Still on Pregnacare, and didn't get round to buying the gels.

Because my last cycle was nearly 32 days I seem to ov earlier on the following cycle. The ewcm was literally hanging off me (tmi). I've never seen that much.

We Dtd cd 7/10/13/15/19. Nothing really different and I didn't get any ov pain like I usually do.

Phase yes!!!!!! Oh how kind the Easter Bunny has been this weekend!!!! I'm so pleased for you!!! Now the obligatory; how you did it, tips, clues, how many cycles??? Tell us everything!!!! 💕🥂💐🎉

olicat · 17/04/2017 15:15

Congrats phase, the easter bunny brought us a nice couple of bfps! Currently 7dpo and feeling very impatient. Symptom spotting like a loon and definitely making all of them up 😅

Dollydaydream2829 · 17/04/2017 14:17

Congratulations phase - amazing news for a Monday!! Amazing news for any day in fact! Whoopee! I don't think I've got over bellas BFP buzz so I'll just continue buzzing for you too!

FX cakes - glad you're keeping that PMA going in spite of the BFN today. Hopefully it's just a bit early!

bella - I was like that when I got my BFP! Saw my predicted AF due date as a target almost - once I'd got past that I felt officially 'preggers' by that point! But the first trimester in particular is a whole bag of worries! From pains, spotting, spewing.... it's so bloody worth it though!

Anyone else due to test soon???

Moo31 · 17/04/2017 14:16

Ps I hope u enjoyed the prosecco since its the last you'll be having for 9 months whoop whoop! Also baby doesn't feed off you for a while so don't worry!!

Moo31 · 17/04/2017 14:15

Ah @phase CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! GrinGrinGrin This is amazing!!!
