PMA Express to BFP Thread #5

Amanda thank you for giving us a kick up the bum and getting the positivity back on track!

My stats:

TTC #2
BFP due 2nd June 😊

And my positivity:
1: I'm going out for dinner with my girls on Wednesday
2: I had a day off work today and had a total chill with DS which was lovely
3: AF has nearly vacated the building 😬

Exactly hippy!!! We will all get there.

1. The weather is beautiful in Scotland and iv managed to hang out and dry two washings!

1. I go to Marbella on Thursday for 4 nights with DP.

1. I have one shift left and a week off!

Aww Hippy I totally understand how you feel. And everyone else who is feeling ttc is getting too much. It definitely gets me in waves - I am up and down with my PMA and sometimes so fed up that I am not pregnant yet. I start to panic it will never happen again.

We are all rooting for you. And here when you need us. But if taking a break helps then do it. You will feel better for it.

I have no real symptoms apart from this left sided pain still niggling. I remember when I was PG last time and I got a TVS at 5 weeks she said I had a small cyst on my left ovary which was prob niggling but it defo settled down xxx

@rose I'm the same I am sure I ovulated last Friday (couldn't be 100% though) so I would be 10dpo today. App says I can take test in 2 days (eeek) and AF Sunday apprently!!!!

I kind of wrote this month off a little bit as I wasn't well and stuff but now this week is here I feel so scared. It's the horrible disappointment but I always try to find a reason why it's not happened this month and that usually helps 😁

Morning girls well I'm saying morning cause it's my post nightshift morning lol!!!!

@hippy awww no I really hope your PMA improves. I think the first few days of the cycle r the worst seems like ages until FW and then the TWW. Pls stay on the thread u r a ray of sunshine here & I enjoy ur chat. Just remember that your body is working - your having regular cycles & periods so it's honestly just not ur month yet. (I feel like yous can tell me this too when I'm back on CD1) ha ha

Why doesn't everyone give me their stats and I will post a new list and try and get the momentum going again????

Stats and three reasons why you are grateful today.....

Go go go!!!!! This girl gang isn't giving up!!!! 💛💛💛

I get the test fear, rose. I feel the same. I also find that to postpone testing may mean a couple of more days being hopeful, and I'll
take that any day over seeing that depressing bfn. Really hope that in your case your are postponing to see a nice and clear bfp very soon!

Thank patient, I don't know when I will test, like Amanda I'm also suffering from test fear.
Usually I'm all up for early testing, I'm 11dpo today due to miss my AF on Friday. I've pinned a lot of hopes on this cycle so can't face seeing a bfn if I test too early. This way I can keep up the PMA

Thank you everyone

Amanda keep the faith, you could be going on your holiday knowing there's a little bean growing in your tummy. Or if not, at least you get to drink and relax ready for your BFP next cycle

No I don't think so I'm actually so scared this week I don't know why 😭 I go to Spain on Thursday so it's gonna make or break my holiday isn't it!!! Xxx

Hi all, I have been away this weekend and haven't been on mn at all, so a bit late in discovering the tough weekend some has had.

Hippy and archie so sorry to hear that Af showed up, I had such a good feeling about some more bfps. Gutted for you! But amazed by the pma from both of you. Hats off ladies. As others have said: we will get there!

Sorry blonde for not getting the news you had hoped for** on your amh test. It must be terribly upsetting. I'm no expert, but I also know about good outcomes for people with low amh. I hope you get better news when you go through your results with your consultant.

Amanda and rose, Fx for you both! When will you be testing?

My period came on CD28 last month which is tomorrow and I pure have the fear for this week 😭😭😭😭

Hi everyone, just trying to catch up

So sorry Blondie, Im going to get my AMH tested soon as my FSH came back as high. I have been reading up on it lately and a lot of women do manage to conceive in the end despite bad results, so keep up the PMA although i can imagine how devastated you must be at the moment.

Im sorry to hear aunt flo has been paying more visits. Thats a great affirmation Hippy, I have a similar one in the fertility hypnosis i've been listening to and thanks for the extra info about the feet warming. I had two pairs of socks on today and a hot water bottle as i panicked i was feeling chilly lol.
Have felt really dizzy an woozie on and off today, im hoping thats a good sign. The one good thing about the tww is when ever you feel rubbish you feel like their might be a silver lining.

Oh girls just caught up on your weekends, I think we all need to go out and get drunk!! Apart from our grads obviously, they can be our designated drivers!! 😂

Firstly blondie I'm so sorry for your news but hippy is right, doctors aren't always right and I shall keep my fx for you. Please do seek advice and lots of opinions and maybe look at alternative therapies? Keep your chin up. 💐

Hippy and Archies I'm so sorry af has turned up. But your pma has been fabulous!!! Spoil yourselves and get ready for your next opportunity to make a miracle!!! 😍

And as I've just caught up with you all I've just noticed my pma crown!!!!! Thank you so much hippy!!! I shall wear it with pride as your longest serving pumpage queen!!! 👑

Hopefully hippy that's if we stick to that as we don't always get chance with LO xx

@AmandaP86 sorry about the baby bomb & due date soon approaching. It's the shittest thing. It's actually wasn't as bad as I expect though 💗

@asrchiesmamanird. Sorry about your baby bomb too. It's shit isn't it. I had one from very good friends few weeks back but they understand our situation an said we know it's tough for you guys after the loss. So at least they appreciated how we felt. I am suspecting more baby bombs to come especially in summer. Just praying to god we will have a BFP so it won't hurt so bad.

Was genuinely feeling really down yesterday and had lots of tears. Convinced I won't ever get pregnant an my period is short & stupid and just annoyed in general why I don't know it's working. But today I've woken up and feel a bit more positive. CD4 and AF will be done for me & just have some spotting when I wipe. So only 8 days until FW.

Think I might try CB dual hormone ovulation tests this month to see when my estrogen starts to rise and compare them with the cheap OPKs when a static appears. It's just something proactive for me to do.

Oh and DHs vitamins arrived and he took the three yesterday so right on schedule. Fx for a boost!

Thank you hippy we are dtd every other day anyway just to be sure. Will keep you updated xx

Oh god Amanda, 5 times, that's crazy!! Come on, this will be our cycle
