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.

Thanks, will go ahead with a little bit of prosecco then! It's a really good friends wedding so would be fuming if I wasn't preg and drank lime and soda all night haha!

Good luck to everyone testing over the weekend... hope the easter bunny brings bfps in his basket!

BellaMoon · 13/04/2017 18:07

evening all

@mrsbarnettsbaby so good to hear from you and excellent news on AF arriving. i definitely see this as a positive for you. i so hope this means your peggy will soon follow! 🤞🏼

@CakesALot iv been doing that all week, "ah fuck it" versus "oh shit jinxed it"... the joys of the 2ww eh.

@Hippychic79 you been back in the saddle yet riding that cowboy of yours? #rumpypumpy

@olicat i'd say everything in moderation until you know you're preggers is acceptable. some may disagree but we can't put our lives literally on hold waiting on that positive. i just worked out my friends dates and we realised she was 3-4 weeks gone at my hen weekend and she was blotto! she'd done a test before it and it was negative so just decided to let her hair down. i can't blame her but she does feel guilty. when i say blotto i mean she was like a rubber woman! #drunkymcdrunkerson

@Roseandbee did you do your FRER with FMU? no sign of AF when she normally announces her arrival is promising #keepusposted

@Sophsta yay for the 😃 OPKS. are you adopting any particular approach other than being shagtastic? SMEP etc? #fizzyfrontbumtime

well i made it to 10dpo before testing this evening. did a boots hpt and got a BFN. i deliberately didn't do it this morn cos now i can kinda dismiss the BFN as "och that prob won't be accurate cos i didn't use FMU" now i know this makes it almost pointless but it's helping me cope with the BFN. nothing else to report other than a really metalic taste in my mouth #yuck

any nice plans for the holiday weekend? i'm off to a wedding on the east coast of scotland on saturday. really looking forward to it as never been to this town before. other than that, trying to run as far away from another BFN as fucking possible #runbellarun #ifshecantcatchmeitmeansimpreggo #playingtigwithAF

Itsjustaphase84 · 13/04/2017 17:58

Olicat that sounds OK with me. I'll be 11dpo tomorrow and planning a drink or 2

olicat · 13/04/2017 17:01

Hope everyone is good and gearing up for the long weekend. Wanted to ask some advice - ill be at a wedding on sat and will be 5dpo - was planning on having the odd drink but not go nuts, does that seem reasonable?

CakesALot · 13/04/2017 15:12

Have just booked in a boozy night with my friend for next Friday. My thinking is af will have arrived so I will need to drown my sorrows/wallow a bit. OR I've just jinxed things and will now of course get my BFP by then! Luckily she's a close friend so will be there for me either way!!

Roseandbee · 13/04/2017 13:50

That's great news MrsBarnett, we do have to remember to be greatful for auntflo too as she's part of the process and it's not auntflos fault if Peggy and Doreen can't get their act together.
Having said that I'm still wondering where she is.
Yes hippy any sort of scanty stuff before you full flo is prob classed as spotting. I didn't used to but I have for over 3 years now

sarahboro1 · 13/04/2017 13:43

Yeah mrsb how fabulous!!! Onwards and upwards now girl!!!! 👍🏻

My oh is the same re dtd ladies!!! It's like the Doreen's go all shy!! I feel like I'm stalking him half the time!! 🙈 Xx

mrsbarnettsbaby · 13/04/2017 13:43

Thanks guys. Yes bfp would have been good but I'm just happy something's happening.
I hope everyone is doing ok.
FX for us all this cycle.

CakesALot · 13/04/2017 12:53

Hooray @mrsbarnettsbaby!! But remember to give her that bad review so she doesn't come back 😉

Sophsta · 13/04/2017 12:43

Glad she's finally turned up MrsB! Feels odd welcoming her on here! I don't know how you've stayed so patient.

Flashing smiley appeared today so gearing up my DH for some action. I have a feeling that I'll ovulate Saturday which is when we go away with my parents however I won't let that stop me! I want that BFP!

MrsB Hey - we've missed you... no way cd120... you are a hero....
I am pleased to read that she's finally rocked up for you, although clearly being upduffed would have been a preferred read... but like you say fx you can get back on track.

Are you ready for a newsflash?
Well... AF arrived today!!! Woohoo
Only taken 120 days. Now FX I can get back on track.

Awww rose thank you ... my Pma did take a bit of a vacation... didn't help that dp and I had a big bust up when she arrived ... and it does take me a while to get over stuff .... I hate falling out with people ... especially my dp... bless him he doesn't even know the real underlying reason ... which is obvs ttc.

In light of the chat on here about dps handling ttc part of me is glad he doesn't know .... I think it would put way too much pressure on him.

I don't spot as such but this cycle I did have a bit of blood then an hour or two of nothing then another little bit before she came full pelt ... maybe this is spotting ? Xxx

Thanks Hippy:) hope your PMA is returning now you unwanted visitor has left, hopefully you won't see her again till next year now

Lovely mani Bella, I'm obsessed with painting my nails, altho I've never had them professionally done, which is how I justify my huge polish collection to my DH, think of the money I've saved! Hmm

Still no sign of AF and still no spotting so don't know if that means I'll be late. I always spot 4-5 days before AF. Does anyone else spot? #spotthespotters

I had a good giggle about all the Doreen talk. My DH has become reluctant to donate, he was all like TTC is gonna be the best!!! And now he's realised I just want him for his Doreen's he's all like "Meh I'm gonna go empty the dishwasher like you asked me to last month"

Honestly Bella they're such divas!!! Xx

BellaMoon · 12/04/2017 21:30

haha isn't it funny that the men folks all of a sudden need romance with DTD when the pressure is on but before loved a quickly?? and they say women are fickle creatures!! x

sarahboro1 · 12/04/2017 21:21

Exactly cakes!! Sod romance I'm on cycle 13 ffs!!! This boy needs to pull his finger out (nothing else though!! 🙊) xx

CakesALot · 12/04/2017 21:10

Gorgeous @BellaMoon! Love getting my nails done. Proper treat. My treat this evening is a browse through 'oh crap, a guide to potty training' #toomuchpooandwee #nappiesforever

I'm so often tempted to text DH to remind him he needs to be on duty tonight!! Always decide against it because he moans it's takes the romance out of it 😂😂 sod romance, there's business to be done!!

sarahboro1 · 12/04/2017 21:01

Ha ha Bella omg he'll have a fit if I text him that!!! #charitybeginsathome #noolddoreensherethanks

BellaMoon · 12/04/2017 20:54

thanks @sarahboro1 #oozingclass

and YES make sure he's made a doreen donation to kleenex before he comes home 😉 #doreendonation #megalolz

sarahboro1 · 12/04/2017 20:36

I always go French Bella!!! I think they're so classic and like you say go with anything!! Fx af leaves you alone this cycle!!! Xx

Ooo Rose what a fabulous idea, a January sales baby!!!! Xx

Sorry about all the baby bombs ladies 🙁 We'll get there soon!! Xx

I reckon this Peggy that's on her way must be massive!!! I'm getting terrible pains this cycle. OH is home tomorrow, I hope he's 'dispensed' of his old Doreen's (sorry tmi!!) cos I want young fresh ones tomorrow, anyone think I should text him just to make sure??!! 🙊 Xx

BellaMoon · 12/04/2017 19:38

any sign of AF @Roseandbee ?

i'm feeling quite anxious about the prospect of AF showing up this weekend 😿

i'm going to single handedly revive the french tip manicure #retro i was convinced to go for this cos i haven't decided on an outfit for a wedding i'm going to on saturday so didn't wanna commit to a colour #newworldissue #thestruggleisreal

@bellamoon what colour you gone for?

Roseandbee · 12/04/2017 17:52

No worries hippy, ill share one of my dads favourites seeing as it's his birthday month.

Good one for me today seeing as DH made me do a FRER this morning and seeing as I'm 13dpo I now don't have much hope it's this cycle, but think of all the fab sale offers on bd presents for those of us who will have January babies!
