Destination conception ... route PMA.

[Hippychic79]

Ok so I am bravely attempting to set up a new thread for anyone tTC.
Plug in your stats ...
Share the highs of your journey
Limit the lows - yes it's a challenging time but being negative gets you down.
I'm thinking positivity breeds positivity and positive thinking gets positive results -
It may take some of us a little longer than others ... but does that matter? I think not.

New rules - instead of saying af due ... we say bfp due ...

So here goes ... my stats
Age 38
Cycle 3
Bfp due 14/02

I'm testing on the 18th.

Thanks moo I'll order those ones!! Fx it's a good omen!! Xx

Sorry I missed your bfp date mrsbarnetts - fx for you on 18th!

Thanks Charley,

Feeling OK so far! TBH, I'm just thrilled that we're even TTC! Taken a long while for us to both be on the same page with the idea! I'm trying not to get too obsessive but am already peeing on sticks & taking my temp every morning. On paper it all seems very straightforward - so hoping things work out well! X

My aim is to be fairly relaxed about it this month and I do feel like I am compared to previous cycles.
I'm definitely not poas until I'm late. There is just absolutely no point because I'm still left wondering... Am I pg still?
I'm due on the 17th so if I'm late I'm testing on the 18th.

I'm that relaxed about it I'm having a small drink.... Yes because it helps me forget about it all.

Looking forward to all the bfp rolling in x

Wow ladies ... loving the PMA chit chat!

I already purchased this baby grow as my announcement to my oh - he loves the stone roses :))) I've had it for 3 months now locked away xxxx

Welcome AJ xxx

Aw hippy that's adorable! I'm definitely off to order something now with the positive attitude that I will need it this weekend.

AJ or very quickly becomes all consuming but learning to stay positive definitely helps! I'm adopting the 'the month closer to my bfp' rather than 'another month of not being pregnant'.....

Thanks Sarah
I think I'll get the Tesco ones too, for both of us. FX for us all.

Visualisations are really powerful - and really enjoyable and relaxing :)) I love them.

I am so pleased everyone is feeling chilled out this month and refraining from poas ... so far ... this is marvellous .... It's strange but feeling the exact same ... nowhere near as stressed as I normally i am at this stage in the month and I wholly attribute it to you guys ... I'm really really pleased that you all like this thread and I love the fact that no one gets left out... I feel like I've known you all for years and it's only been a live thread for a few weeks ... I can't wait to see our bfp's come rolling in ... but I don't want anyone to leave so we may have to edit the title of the thread :)))

Sorry for my silence today - oh and I have been spending quality time together this wk end and have dtd two days on the trot which is amazing for us! I don't mind that it wasn't fw ... I love dtd :))
He's gone to work now so I've spent about half an hour catching up on it all :))

Xxx

Thank you Charley :) yes buy one.... why not :)) and I'm the same ... one month closer attitude is the best approach.

I've got a visualisation board and put images of all the things I want in life on it... I even used an app where you put a picture of you and oh in it to see what your baby will look like ... am I crazy?

Aw that's so lovely to hear hippy! Maybe it's the rush of pregnancy hormones making you feel all romantic I do think this is by far the nicest group and I'm so happy that everyone is so lovely!

I ordered a baby grow I wanted a slightly cuter one but it didn't come until Monday, where as this one is Friday and in the spirit of PMA.... I will totally need it for then!

I really feel like I need a visualisation board now.....

Hi ladies,
Lots of catching up to do, even from last night! Loving all the gift and announcement ideas for when we get our BFPs.
FINALLY succumbed to AF today. I'd had a feeling the spotting had been going on a bit too long for IB so I'm keen to get this wee witch out the way and onto the next cycle! Bit concerned about the fact I've had regular cycles up until the last two where I've spotted for 3-4 days before AF has come. Has anyone else experienced/experiencing this?

Wow 2 days Hippy that is great! I love the baby grow, what a great way to tell your OH! I bet he will be really overcome with that . What is this baby face predictor app? I need it!

Phase & Charley maybe you are so chilled because subconsciously your body is telling you not to worry because you are pg?!

Ive just told DH about this strange spotting and his words were "don't get your hopes up!". So much for PMA Mr Salem!!! I am keeping my fx anyway .

Aw I really hope it is pregnancy hormones Charley 😝😜

Nice work ordering a baby grow :)) the one I got doesn't fall into the cute category I see that :)))

Yes yes yes - do a visualisation board, stick on some baby booties :))

Dolly I have had/ am having crazy spotting! Last month it was for 3 days and then AF came 5 days later. This month it has happened on CD26/29 8DPO. Not sure what to think really!!

ALSO since everyone has posted some nice baby items - look at these adorable Bambi muslin squares from Aden and Anais. I kind of want them for myself!!!

I think yours sounds a LOT more positive Salem - fits in with implantation bleeding as in a couple of days and a few days before AF due! Mines always starts about 3 -4 days before AF and carries on until AF finally shows? I've been off my pill for 6 months now and the first 4 cycles were perfect, when we weren't focused on conceiving yet the last two I've had spotting beforehand. I'm maybe just looking into things WAAAAY too much!

Salem - just type in google what will my baby look like and it comes up with lots of free apps ... each app produces a different pic though ... bit like fertility apps ... all of them are different 😂
Slap on the wrists mr Salem for lack of PMA :))

Night ladies xxx

I'm desperate to buy teeny, tiny baby clothes. But I'll hold back. I feel I've jinxed myself enough by buying a vintage silver cross pram back in October!
Those muslins are gorge though!

Hi ladies. Me, DH and DS have had a bit of a bug so have only just caught up. I cracked on Thursday and took a test but got a BFN (it was 5 days until AF due). And I've been having stomach cramps the last 2 days which I always get just before AF so I'm pretty sure she'll arrive like clockwork on Tuesday

Charley we got married in June, and I made the mistake of telling people that we were going to start ttc just after the wedding. So I've had 8 months of "oh are you still not pregnant yet?" It doesn't help that DS was a happy accident, so I just expected it to happen straight away again. I keep reminding myself of the statistics that it's completely normal to take up to a year to conceive, so that makes me feel a little bit better.

2Ducks - hey I'm sure you haven't jinxed yourself, there's nothing wrong with being prepared :)

Hi Archie's - sorry to hear you and your family have been poorly, you're not out till af arrives.

Happy Monday lovelies xxx

Good morning lovely ladies. I think the muslins and pram sound lovely I woke up feeling crap this morning, all achy and shattered. Hope I'm not coming down with something again!

Dolly sorry for AF. On to the next new cycle though

Hippy i think the baby grow is totally cute! Anything that small is! And even more special for your other half.

Archie's I totally get it. It's nice to have people to talk to but when they are all going on about it at the wrong time of the month it's just annoying! Hope AF stays away for you x
