PMA Express to BFP Thread #5

Thanks @BellaMoon! That's boosted my PMA even more!!

i got a BFN thursday night and by friday morning it had changed, so within 12 hours! hoping yours changes too @CakesALot xx

@Roseandbee I confide in my best friend about it all but no one else. Does help having her to talk too. She's just pregnant with her 3rd so plenty of experience! Doesn't help when family and friends are constantly saying 'shouldn't you be cracking on with number 2'. So annoying!! None of your chuffing business!!!

Bfn for me this morning ladies. Af due Wednesday and in true PMA style I am feeling positive still. There is time! Not feeling as down hearted as I usually am about a bfn. For some reason I just don't believe it. Will hold out until weds before I test again. If not later. Love the PMA vibes @BellaMoon and I'm determined to keep it up!

Morning all

thought i'd share a wee quote that really helped me focus this cycle.

obviously i know a lot more went on within my body to make a baby than just my mind BUT i truly felt that the one difference this cycle was that my mind jumped aboard the #PMA bus

i thought my mind was going to explode yesterday as that was AF due date and i was in a constant state of stress and worry all day. i now need to get my mind on board that i am pregnant and start relaxing #easiersaidthandone

hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work i go 😩

Night night Bella, I imagine I'd be having very similar thoughts and feelings when I get my bfp. Sorry you have to work tomorrow, your head must still be all over the place.

Just got back from my mums, I struggle to have anything to talk about since this full on TTC business. It's like that just keeps popping into my head and I go blank about the rest of the things I've done. Has anyone told anyone that's not their other half about TTC?

yeah @CakesALot i had a few "oh shit what have i done" moments. Also felt like a wee school girl that had done something wrong when i told my auntie 😂 hoping it sinks in soon!

well you lovely bunch, hope you all continue to enjoy the holiday weekend. i'm working tomorrow #rageballs #nightnight

Very true about the mind body and soul as well. You spend so long focusing on getting that amazing BFP that you've no idea what to do with yourself when it does arrive. I remember thinking, oh hell, I'm not ready for this!! But it takes a long time to cook a baby, you do get used to the idea!

@BellaMoon for weeks I got loads of period type aches and was worried in early pregnancy. But it's normal, it was as if o could feel my womb stretching but it is normal. Try not to worry and treat yourself. Make the most of you and DH and be a bit selfish

Sure is @BellaMoon, gets upgraded to extra speedy!!

i'm trying desperately not to stress honest i am, i know it's not helpful.

i keep tapping myself on my temple and saying "mind body soul". makes me sound like a loon i get that BUT when i think back to my last cycle, the one where i welcomed AF with open arms, treated her kindly, said nice things about her and kept my PMA on high alert while she was here, she certainly treated me well after my review on twatadviser and rewarded me with my very first ever BFP. so my mind and soul just need to catch up with my body to believe i am pregnant. #taptap #mindbodysoul

@Moo31 thanks, i'm sure it'll sink in at some point. it's hard not to think every little twinge is AF tho. #threeweeksfivedays lol

@CakesALot is chocolate syn free on slimming world when upduffed hahaha #belter

Happy Easter everyone! Easter brings new life and I hope this is true for everyone here x #easterblessings

So I went to bed at 1am and there was no chance I was going to do any baby making. SMEP out the window!

Happy Easter ladies! 🐰🐣🐇

Oh @BellaMoon those first few weeks are such a nerve wracking time. Just take it easy and be kind to yourself,stress never helped anyone! It's eat chocolate for every meal day so tuck in!! I'm sure you'll be just fine, like we've said before, all pg symptoms are the same as af symptoms anyway, cruel twist that it is

Haha! Yes, it was gin! Surely my autocorrect should know that?!!

Happy Easter @hippy catch that egg! :)

@Bella - those are all pg symptoms but I know the feeling! I calmed down around 8 weeks I think. Now I have to think what day I am whereas before I was obsessed and could have told you without hesitation!

Oh I got my date for my booking app and 12 week scan yesterday - 26th April. Excited and nervous at the same time!

sorry for the spelling errors there, my eyes are so blurry this morn. first time wearing eye makeup yday since surgery and i think i rubbed too hard to take it off last night!

i sailed through my "i'm on antibiotics" story at the wedding last night #highfiveme

well today is officially AF due date. i am like a twitchy paranoid wreck checking my knickers every 5 mins as i have honestly never felt so periody in my life. lower back cramps, lower abdo cramps, v v tender boobs. bloated and v v moody.

feel like our preggo bubble is about to burst at any given moment #paranoidwreck #pregnantsymptoms #AFsymptoms

good luck to all FW'ers and BFP'ers - iv lost track of the list so i'll need to go back and check it (i'm a shit list maker, i admit!).

morning @Hippychic79 remember, i did that cycle 2 and missed peggy cos the cb duel opks like to track the surge, so if you get your surge with IC, but then switch, the CB dual on starts registering at peak do doesn't catch the surge. just from my experience, that didn't work. i chased that bloody peggy around the whole month! the CB duals are so expensive i would want you to have the same EGGstremely (wee easter pun there) frustrating thing happen to you. xxx

Fx for you @phase

I hope that's gin you're tucking into @cakes!

@Amanda if that means what I think it means that sounds like a very tough day for you. Hugs xo

Evening girls! Iv bloody lost my voice 😞 Nightmare. Hate a Saturday shift in my work we do all the social terminations I find it so hard these days. Anyway Day done. DP out for the night going to have a takeaway and watch BGT!! Rock and roll x

Good luck @Itsjustaphase84! I'm holding off testing until at least Monday but feeling very moody and crampy today so not feeling hopefully. Also tucking into the gun this evening anyway!

@Dollydaydream2829 when I was pg my DH asked me if my boobs would stay like that after baby
Bahahaha... I wish... I went from b cup to D and up 2 band sizes

Cd 27 and 15 dpo here. I'm expecting a shorter cycle than last month's 32 days but not even entertaining a pg test until day 33. Loaf's of boobs pain and twinges and I'm run down but who knows? Having a drink tonight anyway. Happy Easter all x

Fab pics @bella!

Good work @dolly! Have a good time!

Happy Easter @Amanda :)

Aw @flash fx it's not she who shall not be named!

@blondie hopefully you jinx it and can cancel your appointment :)

Happy Saturday everyone!! Xo
