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

Charley Not too bad tbh, I found it a bit sticky and messy Grin but I'll happily use it again next month if we need to (hopefully not though!) I'm just hoping that it wasn't the Conceive Plus that brought on my thrush. How did you get on with it?

mrsbarnettsbaby · 01/02/2017 09:24

Is there room for me? Really trying to remain positive.
Stats:
Age 42
Ttc #4 (1 with new partner, he's 40 with no DC)

Welcome MrsB :)) There is room for everyone on this thread.

13th Dec was a long time ago... have you tested recently?

Only with crappy ic I have in the house. Was bfn. I hate seeing bfn! My cycles have been irregular since coil out on 25th July. Anything from 15-67 days. So I am waiting til 68 days. Then I will buy a decent test.

ArchiesMamaBird · 01/02/2017 10:41

MrsB Have you tried charting? I bought the book 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility' and it was an eye opener. I thought I knew everything about conception after doing my research, but this book taught me the techniques to use to pinpoint ovulation, and therefore when AF is due. I now take my temperature every morning and monitor CM, and can work out exactly when I'm due to Ovulate, and then I know that my luteal phase is 14 days. It's a game changer if you have irregular cycles Smile

MrsB - I echo Archies advice, it's a great book. Sadly I can't temp as my OH would wonder why and I can't tell him as he doesn't want to start TTC properly till later in the year, its bad enough POAS OPK's in the mornings behind his back :))

Thanks, I will have a look, I guess with having 3 DC already I thought it would be easier than this. I temp and use ovia. Tried opks back in sept but didn't get a positive. If I'm not pg this cycle I think I'll try cbfm and go back to the docs as I am running out of time. DP has no kids, although has never actively tried before. He did have to have an op for undescended testes when he was a baby.

So, today.... I caved and tested. B.F.N.
I'm either 12 DPO and due AF on Fri or I'm 9 DPO and due AF on Mon. I had my strong positive on the Friday on the OPK but I had a slightly fainter line than control and also ovulation spotting and cramping on the Mon so I'm really unsure.
Either way, I know I shouldn't have tested but there is an endless supply in work and I couldn't resist.
I'm spotting every so slightly at the minute so it's undoubtedly AF on her way for Fri!
Here's to my BFP March cycle!!

ArchiesMamaBird · 01/02/2017 20:03

Dolly could it be implantation bleeding? In which case it could be too early to get a positive result on a pregnancy test? Fingers crossed it's good news for you Smile

sarahboro1 · 01/02/2017 20:26

Can I join in ladies?? I was on the January bus on my own getting a little lonely!!

Age 35
Ttc #1
Cycle10
BFP due not sure really!! I'm a very regular 28 day girl but I'm now on cd40 with no sign of her!! Had 2 bfn's this week so feel rather on hold atm. I think illness pushed my ovulation back this cycle which is why I'm late as I had 2 bouts of positive opks later on in my cycle.

Really believe in pma so looking forward to chatting on here!! Xx

Charley2016 · 01/02/2017 21:02

Archie's I didn't mind the conceive plus, same as you I would happily use it again. Although the second time (TMI!) I found what looked like a cube of jelly after dtd which was weird 😳

Moo31 · 01/02/2017 21:13

Hi MrsB and Sarah welcome to the PMA club! :)

mrsbarnettsbaby · 01/02/2017 21:14

Hi Sarah. I'm also in the no idea when bfp due Club. I'm on cd50. Welcome aboard. FX for us all.

Moo31 · 01/02/2017 21:16

Dolly I think our dates are roughly the same - I am due af Saturday (if this cycle is 32 days) and I think I ov on Friday 20th. Fingers crossed you are getting implantation bleeding but if not keep your spirits up and keep positive!

sarahboro1 · 01/02/2017 21:21

Thank you moo!!

Thanks mrsb, cd50?? Is that abnormal for you too or is that quite 'normal'? I'm chomping at the bit so to speak!! 😂 I want a crack at my next cycle as every one brings a fresh opportunity to conceive!! Xx

SalemTheTeenageWitch · 01/02/2017 21:34

Hello everyone and welcome new members of the PMA club!
Ive been quiet because of so much work stress - bring on half term!!!
I'm still in 2ww and trying hard not to symptom spot, although there is nothing there!
Hope everyone is well xxx

mrsbarnettsbaby · 01/02/2017 21:34

Sarah - since having coil out on 25 July they have varied from 15-67 days. I'm going to test again on cd68. Loads of symptoms but I do every cycle. Bfn on ic yesterday.

sarahboro1 · 01/02/2017 21:44

i get a new symptom every cycle!! I think I'm collecting them! 😂

Hi Salem!! Fx for you in your 2ww!! Xx

Dollydaydream2829 · 01/02/2017 22:19

Fingers crossed ladies, and for the sake of the PMA attitude of this thread, I'm gonna say it's implantation bleeding until AF rears her ugly head for real. Still continuing to spot and nothing more since late yesterday although last cycle I spotted a couple days until the real deal appeared.
Yay! Cycle buddies!! (Although hopefully first and last cycle when we get our BFPs!) When are you gonna test Moo?

Moo31 · 01/02/2017 22:29

Dolly I've done a test every morning since Monday! All bfns but af not due until Sat (I think - cycles have been irregular) so i am early in testing. We bought a batch online (20 for £10) - not sure how reliable they are but it's hard to resist when they aren't scarce! Fx these are our last cycles (and if not we'll get on the bike and try again!)

Dollydaydream2829 · 01/02/2017 22:41

Haha oh Moo, if I had done that, I'd have been testing every day too! Does it not make you crazy? I've made a promise not to test again until the weekend if AF doesn't get me beforehand....

Ok so today in light of many of us being in the lovely 2ww and finding it understandably hard .... I thought these positive waiting quotes would be apt xxx
