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

Awww bless ya ... I'm good despite being all the way back at cd1 ... I haven't got any period pain which I'm grateful for ... just the pain of having to go through another month of poas opks and making sure I can get dp into bed (and complete dtd) on the right freaking day ... if he was on board and up for dtd more often I'd be a little less stressed with it all :))
Hahaha enjoy trash tv - I'm watching the voice whilst cooking dp's dinner for the 7th night in a row ... and I've been told we're watching a boy film at 9pm called two guns ... exciting times :))) xxx

Hi Baking xxx

I'm watching the voice too!! Will.i.am is my guilty pleasure!! 😂 Xx

Ditto xxx

Hi ladies

Can I join your thread? Been following it for a while an think I could do with more PMA in my life after a crazy cycle and stressing last month.

Age:27
TTC#1
Cycle: 4 (since mc)
CD1

BFP due 10th march

Hi anna sarah blondie and baking 👋

Thanks hippy I'm sure I would have ditched the pill long ago had I known you could basically only get pregnant over the space of a couple of days! 😒
I'll keep you all posted next weekend..... bet I'm barking up the wrong tree-proposal symptom spotting is on high alert!
We are watching some crap boy film too, the things you do....

Who would have known getting upduffed would be so difficult EMHW?! But on our pma vein it is already written when we will all get our bfp's so let's chill and enjoy the ride (no pun intended!! 😳).

Welcome Anna!!! Xx

Indeed Sarah! I love this thread for that reason! Such a fab vibe sparked by hippy! 👏🙌

Welcome Anna - the more the merrier. We're in sync ... I'm cd1 too today ... it's a bitch isn't it!!!?
Loving your PMA there Sarahb .... bet we all stay super chilled until the 2ww xxxxx

Yes I haven't been through a 2ww whilst on this thread yet so let's see what happens!! Xx

EMH - Glad I'm not the only one watching crap boy film .... think I'll retire to bed with hot water bottle in a minute and wake up on cd14... have amazing sex... go back to sleep and wake up when in two weeks pregnant.... how's that for a spanking plan? :))) xxx

I second that plan! 🙌

Thanks for the prayers hippy:) I reckon we often missed the fertile window, we were together for 11 years before we got married so we weren't exactly at it like rabbits after.

Just think of you slept through the whole of the 2ww you dtd, sleep, wake up, fmu, bfp! That's how it should work without having to sleep to weeks.

Welcome Anna:)

Btw has anyone starting their new cycle calculated their new due date? That's what I always do as soon as AF arrives, it helps restore my pma. I think my march cycle would lead to me possibly sharing my birthday, I'm a late November baby. I'd really rather have them separate though! Current cycle puts me about October 26 due date

Rose I'm the 29th October :) which website do you use? I used the NHS one

EMHW im 26th on the NHS one although I think you can't actually use the NHS one too far in advance so I would've used some other random one initially

Hi Ladies. Been super stressed today, was up early with DS and been feeling a bit spaced out all day, then went to Sainsbury's and dented the side of my car in the car park which ironically happened to me when I was about 3 weeks pregnant with DS (if I hadn't just had AF I would swear that I was upduffed!!)

Anyhoo, here are my stats:

TTC #2
Age 25
Cycle 10
CD5
BFP due 11th March

Sorry you've been so stressed archies, and sorry about the dent! I guess this time it was tiredness and stress. Hope you have a more relaxed Sunday & Fx for march!

Morning ladies and welcome Anna :)

I am a bit more interested in due date this time as DS was born on NYE and not sure I'd want another so close to Christmas, as could get a bit hectic and think this year DS will be more aware of his birthday. But I don't want to skip a couple of months of ttc in case it does take a lot longer this time, so don't want to miss a chance. What will be will be though, so if I end up with 2 born near Christmas, so be it :)

Anna -I also meant to say sorry about mc.

Hey Rose - having tried hard to time the tackle for the last few months I can now see how easy it would be not to hit that sweet spot when your blissfully unaware of timings. I think we've been brainwashed from a young age to believe that getting pregnant happens easily if your not using contraception and clearly it isn't always the case. I also think (especially those of us that a little older) have spent years thinking 'please don't let me be pregnant' and our minds have accepted this to be true and have instructed our bodies accordingly ... our minds are the most powerful and strongest muscle that we have. Anyway - like the supplement effects taking time - I think it takes time for our minds to reprogram themselves from 'please don't let me be pregnant' to 'I accept the gift of life within myself'. I genuinely hope and pray you don't need to go down the assisted route Rose. One thing I would like to say is - doctors aren't always right ... I have two shining examples to tell you about ...
Firstly a good friend's wife was diagnosed with a terminal illness over ten years ago and given 6-12 months to live ... she is still alive today! Second story -more relevant ... I met a girl in the gym a few weeks back who I used to hang with when I was a kid ... she was told that she'd never have kids and is currently 20wks pregnant.
Whilst I don't dispute that doctors work miracles every day ... I also know that there not always right.

I use the calculators too :)) I try them all I think there's one on mn :))

Archie's - so sorry to hear you had a stressy day and dented your car .... if your sainsburys car park is anything like mine I can completely see how this would happen! If only they paid more care and attention when planning the car park as they do their store layouts! I hope you have a lovely Sunday and on the plus side - I'm pleased you or anyone didn't get hurt and it was just a dent in the car xxx

Happy Sunday lovely ladies xxx

Morning Baking - I think we're the early risers in this group ... wish you lived next door ... we could have morning coffee together and you could bring the cookies (I'm guessing by your username your a baking genius and I'm not so hot in the kitchen).
I know where your coming from reference planned birth dates ... ideally I wanted an August baby but that ship has long sailed ... I think December and January are the months i wanted to avoid too but now I'm thinking 'fuck it' what will be will be ... I just want to be upduffed and I'll take whichever month I'm given :)))
Xxx

Rose and Hippy thank you both

Baking I'm in the same boat, DS was born 29th Dec, and at this rate DC2 could also be another Christmas baby. But like you say, it's not like we can just stop trying!

I ideally didn't want a December baby but dam if I am stopping. This hanging around each month is boring enough as it is let alone missing one out. So we shall just plough on!!

Yes we are on the same day hippy! We are away on a mini break next weekend so hope that makes the time go fast to FW!

I second that Anna ... the hanging about each month is annoying ... I dont want to wish my life away but I just wish this bfp would hurry up! And I freaking wish dp would hurry up and get on board with tTC!
Where are you going on your mini break Hun? That's very romantic ... dp and I are going on a spa break at the end of next month.
Xxx

Good morning ladies! Happy Sunday. I've just slept for 10 hours bloody period makes me exhausted but thankfully it's tailing off now.

Hippy I'm so sorry about AF! I think she was just giving us all another month to get to know each other before our BFP

Archie's sorry about your car! Sounds really stressful. Thank goodness you're both ok though ❤️

Rose sorry to hear you've been trying so long. Although like you say, so easy to miss fertile week. I'm sure now that you're tracking, your BFP won't be far away!

Welcome to the group Anna, so sorry to hear about your MC, I hope this is your month!

I'm the same as all you guys, would of ideally avoided a Dec/Jan baby! I have 3 grandparents birthdays in Dec and then me, DH and my brother in January. Me and DH are two days apart and always joked about how funny it would be if we had a baby the day in between! Really hoping that doesn't actually happen haha! So we just all need our BFPs to come this cycle for our Oct/Nov babies haha!
