PMA Express to BFP Thread #5

@sarahboro1 it's not that I was on the old thread 😂

@amanda086x yes I do have loads of bleeding and loads of pain. It's not as bad as my postpartum though. When I had my bear I had 4 weeks bleeding and then my period came bang on time!

OBEM rainbow!!! Xx

Ha ha! I've been wondering all night why no one is talking 😆

Thanks for the love girls! She's an arsehole I also got enraged buying tampons there - I did not choose the AF life she choose me fs 😭 Lol

Fingers crossed for u @bella hope it's ur month cycle buddy ❤️

Thanks @anna hopefully number 6 is lucky for us both 😘❤️
@cakes hahaha That's a good idea!!! Well I thought my app said I could have tested yesterday but AF not due until 16th so I was a bit unsure what this week would hold. Would have been my mums 49th bday yesterday so I'm glad she(AF) stayed away for that and I only got her this morning. Maybe she felt bad hahaha.

I have had a productive day off - 5km run cooked a curry and gutted my spare room. I'm thinking it's a sign that I should have it gutted and at least useable for the future lol!

My friend from work is coming to visit tomorrow with her little one he's 5 months old think iv mentioned her before but she had like 3 misscarridges then 2 failed ivf and now has her little one so it was a total journey for her but now she has him 😍 Nice happy ending for her!

Thanks Bella #bfpbuddies I said to my husband wouldn't it be funny if i got pregnant at easter and gave birth on christmas day, then i said at least we'd know what to call the baby #jesus
I know what you mean its hard to keep up 100% pma, i usually get negative nancy ringing me up about now asking if i've got the booze in and spare room ready for aunt flo, lol. I do pretty good up till about 10dpo and i'm even positive on AF day as it could be the start of the cycle i get pregnant. But i do also worry about jinxing myself loosing pma at the vital moment. Im sort of dealing with it by not putting a date on my PMA, i'm just working on feeling positive that I will get pregnant and will have a baby

oh @Roseandbee i wouldn't pay much attention to an IC at this stage (unless of course it was a +)!

i ready online when i googled "creamy cm 7dpo" yesterday that a woman had this symptom, did IC's every day and didn't get a positive IC til 2 days after AF due. keep us posted tho, it's time for another BFP, maybe we could get ours on the same day, like @Moo31 and @Dollydaydream2829 did! #wecandoit

i know there's a fine line between being full of PMA/optimistic and being realistic... if anyone can guide me to that fine line please do cos the likelihood of me becoming detained is increasing by the hour #minibreakdown

my "if's" have turned to "when's" and my visualisation is coming along nicely BUT i keep having the negative nancy voice in my head bursting my bubble, for example, BFP due sunday and DH says "shall we get some sushi on sunday" and the PMA in me thinks "nope i'll have had my positive test by then so no way" but then the bubble bursts and i hear "don't be so stupid, you're jinxing it thinking like that". the internal turmoil is horrendous during the 2ww isn't it? #thevoices #chillpillrequired

anyway, i have well and truly put all of my eggs in this cycles basket as id be DELIGHTED with the timing of things should a baby be due in approx 38wks.... soooo watch this space this weekend as you might all have to perform an intervention should my basket fall over and smash all my peggy dreams #literallycometomyhouse #savemefromameltdown

Olicat ive watched two episodes of Obem today already. I love it as I always fancied being a midwife, not that I'm cut out for it

Just popping in to get on the new thread, will catch up properly later!! Loving the scan picture, makes me hold out hope!!

Oh and now into my first 2ww... going to try not to symptom spot... (This won't happen)

Hey everyone, had a look at tv guide and says that on tonight's OBEM there's a couple who were trying for 6 years before they had their baby so thought it might be nice inspiration/pma! (I've outed myself as a mega saddo OBEM fan haha) hippy you weren't too sure about it but reckon you should watch another episode!

dolly so nice to see your scan!

🙋another lucky number 6 cycle waiting here too!! Always been m favourite number 😂

@AmandaP86x what utter bollocks that little witch face showing up. Early for gads sake?? Seems to be a theme going on at the moment?? I suppose that doesn't prevent the heart sinking feeling of poas and getting the dreaded bfn. I think we shouldn't say bfn. Like how you can't say Voldemort or Macbeth. 'The result that shall not be named'

I'm rambling with tiredness today,sorry all...

trying not to think of tiredness as a symptom

a new thread, exciting, fingers crossed this is the one!

Yup im the 14th, although i did test today and bfn :-/ but it was just an IC so not giving up just yet and also not had my usual pre AF spotting, which should've started yesterday so that could be something positive. @bellaMoon my DH wants me to POAS tomorrow on a FRER, im kinda tempted to wait for my AF date now which is Good Friday, as that sounds like a good day to get a BFP, but Easter Sunday sounds even better so good luck to you!

Dolly thats great news about your scan, and yes thats a lot of growth! so exciting!

Aww Dolly so pleased everything is okay! Yay for the baby!

Yes 6 months is quite average when ttc but agree it feels like a lifetime when your doing it! An wish it just happened straight away every time. But that's life. We must slog on.

Archie how many months did it take you to fall pregnant with your first? I can't remember if you'd mentioned or not or if this journey has been longer?

Amanda I'm on 6th cycle since mc too. Waited my first AF out so we've had 5 goes and onto number 6. FX these could be winning cycles!

aw @AmandaP86x shit shitty mcshitness... sorry about AF, she's so early as you and i were BFP buddies! glad you have found a positive in that you're regulating towards 28day cycle #theresalwaysapluswithPMA

@Anna2006 from my terribly composed list i think @Roseandbee is up before me. im sunday and i'm sure Rose is Friday #babiesonthebrain

@Dollydaydream2829 OMFG thank you sooo much for sharing your scan pics. i'm in awe of the miracle that your body has created #pecanmiracle

@Hippychic79 thank you for the new thread, you have such proactive admin skills. you're gonna be one of those mums who's always on the ball, no missed school picture day or sports day #supermuminthemaking

@Itsjustaphase84 oh.... my.... gawd (janice from friends style) that totally sounds like implantation bleed to me BUT step away from google if you can #sitbackrelaxandenjoy

hope all our lovely ladies are well and overflowing with #PMA

sooo i'm cd23 and BFP due 16/04 - my DH has totally chilled out and isn't following me around to make me POAS which is brilliant, he was getting right on my titties doing that. so in turn, i'm chilled too (remember i POAS from 4DPO first cycle). have had loads of creamy cm last two days and that's the only thing i'd say iv noticed in terms of symptoms #knickerwatchinfullswing

Awww @Dollydaydream2829 that's the cutest pecan ever! So pleased for you!

@Itsjustaphase84 definitely sounds promising. Fx for you!

I might try this preseed lol! Part of me wants to relax other part wants me to track haha.

So this is cycle 6 for me post d&c. So my body is probably just getting back into sync etc but maybe I'll preseed this month ha ha!! Oh I kno it defo seems so long but I know what u mean.

@rainbow did u have d&c last week did u say? Have u had much bleeding since? Took me 8 weeks to get my period after d&c x

Fx I'll get another faint tomorrow, long shot I know but I need to give the Doreen's time to travel before Peggy appears!! And that's assuming he's up for it when he gets home!!! Xx

Thanks amanda - we were trying for 6months in total - 3months at the start, I had very relaxed approach to TTC, no OPKs or tracking etc. Then the last 3months, kicked up a gear and tracked everything, used Pre-seed etc. Well worth the wait - even if at the time, I thought it would never happen! 6months looking back isn't a long time to conceive however, when you're going through it, every single cycle feels like 6months! Especially the TWW!

Aw no sarah - if it's just faint then hopefully you won't get your true positive until tomorrow at the earliest and that should time up well??

Aww Dolly look at that little pecan!!!! 😍😍😍

Phase fx it's implantation for you!!! Xx

Why oh why can't Mother Nature give us all a break??!! I usually ovulate around day 15-17, I'm on cd 12 today and a faint line has appeared on my opk, but hubby isn't home until cd14!!!! Fx Peggy makes her way down nice and slowly otherwise there's another cycle down the swany!! 🙈 Xx

Awwww dolly that is amazing so so happy for u!!!! How long did it take to get ur BFP again??? And I know nights r such a bloody hinderance 😭

Woop woop! Thread 5 ladies!!

Sorry about AF amanda - she's a bugger! Glad you're staying optimistic though! I had many a FW spent on nightshift - it was so frustrating!

rainbow sounds like an awful time! I also work in a gynae& early pregnancy ward and never known an ectopic to get to 11weeks without rupturing severely so although you won't feel like it, focus on the miracle that is your tube being saved (and most probably your life!)

I'm so excited for your trial archies - hope it brings you success and lots of pleasure

phase sounds very positive! Fingers crossed your our next BFP and it's some implantation bleeding!

ohb that's frustrating! Why did they rearrange? They should hopefully have your booking scan arranged for you beforehand or even as you go in since its close!

I had my scan today ladies and I'm so happy that my little pecan nut has been growing and it's exactly the right size with a good strong heartbeat. I'm so relieved - because of the bleeding and my symtoms getting better, I'd completely pepped myself up to take the bad news as positive as I could. So I was even more thrilled with the outcome. I've attached my scan pics- top one is now at 9+2 and bottom one is 7+2 - madness the size difference?!
This is what you all have to look forward to! It's so bloody worth it, promise!

phase fingers crossed it could be some implantation spotting. Deffo should try avoid google though. Google is NOT our friend lol. Google is mean.

Sorry about AF Amanda. Blooming biatch. She knocked on lots of our doors recently. She must be in the neighbourhood!

This has to be the thread ladies!! We've been slacking in anymore BFP's recently. It's all been witchy mc witch. Come on ladies!

bella is it you next to test?! 🙏
