#2 PMA all the way to BFP xxx

[Hippychic79]

So we've maxed out our first thread, the positivity is building up nicely and we're joyfully moving on to a brand new thread...

This thread is for anyone TTC and is bursting with positivity, love and support as we cruise towards our BFP's.

New rules instead of saying AF due we say BFP due ...
Also you do not have to add your age or what cycle number you're on if you don't want to ...

The ultimate aim is to get everyone to destination BFP ASAP...
however the bus ride may take a little longer for some of us ...
it doesn't matter if you take the scenic route ...
as long you get there.

So plug in your stats and off we go xxx

Hippy wise choice! Let us know if you get a flashing smiley. But don't worry if you don't - I have only had the static "peak" one. POAS is addictive!!!!
Welcome JK, love the PMA! May this cycle be the one for you!

Welcome to thread PMA jk ... no need to stress at all we're all on the same journey and contrary to what we're led to believe not everyone gets upduffed instantly :) here's some PMA for you ... your 27, I'm 38 ttc#1 ... by the time your my age you'll have your dcs xxxx

Yes Hippy don't get don't about no smiley. The smiley face will come. Sometimes it just takes longer to show its silly face!

Welcome JK! You are in the right place. Always a new chance each month and cycle. Just means we're closer to the BFP!

anna & salem gold star for your opk knowledge I am pleased to confirm that you've passed this tTC module with an A star 😂 Xxx

anna will you be dtd tonight? Sorry but we're same day so keen to see what your schedule is looking like 😂 Xxx

sarahb 😂 lol I think these sperm need sat nav, google maps and a freaking compass!!! I've only poas twice today so far ... what is the record incidentally? Xxx

mrsb you definitely hold the record for the longest cycle on here - I am in awe of your patience xxx

salem your dtd efforts this cycle have been superb - you couldn't have done anymore xxx

charley sorry to hear dh was in a mood last pm - my dp is often mardy so I feel for you on this. I was very anxious last week so this may have slightly delayed my peak either that or it's the weather changing which I've read can affect things down there xxx

Thanks everyone. I can honestly say though reading all these comments has really given me a positive outlook. Now I'm looking forward to my journey not worrying about it.

jk I think that we're wrongly led to believe that unprotected sex instantly leads to being pregnant and that's not always the case. I've been on this journey for a few months and I think it's like most things in life - you have a choice how you deal with it... you can let it get you down or you can embrace it and try to enjoy it. Everyone I know who has had kids says your life is never the same again ... so enjoy the pre baby life as long as possible knowing when you do get your bfp you'll be even more chuffed xxx

morning all 😁

despite being doubled over with AF cramps during the night and having the heaviest flo i can ever remember, im up and painting my face like coco the clown and arguing with some fake eyelashes that are refusing to stick to my face as they'd rather be stuck to my finger apparently!

black skinny jeans that i was planning on wearing won't go passed my AF belly so there is currently 20 outfits strewn across the spare room floor!

hair has been curly up, curly down, half up, half down, messy up, messy down, dry shampood, hairdsprayed then washed again 🙈 now poker straight!

ohhhh Auntie Flo - you are an absolute fucking cow #throatpunch

Oh Bella you do make me laugh with your hashtags #throatpunch LOL.

I agree that these sperm need google maps. They should have their own tv show. Not "Dora the Explorer" but "Doreen the Explorers"......

Great bit of advice there Hippy. Embrace all the things you couldn't do post baby. For example, this week off, I have had at least 9hours of unbroken sleep each day!! Now I know I wouldn't get that after my BFP!

I do hope everyone else is ok. We are doing such a great job with our PMAs. I really do feel this cycle is ours, ladies.

Speaking of "feeling" things... has anyone ever been to a psychic? One of the ladies i follow on YouTube went to a Psychic evening only to be told she was going to get upduffed later in the year. She got upduffed later in the year ...

Hippy we DTD Thursday CD13 and last night CD14 as both days I had EWCM.

Hope to get another one in tonight but the trip is catching up with us and we're both tired. If no luck tonight then I will try DTD tomorrow morning or during day maybe. Will see what the OPKs tell me later!

Woop just got my positive OPK! Felt a bit crampy on my right side near my ovary this morning so thought ill do one now s wondered if it was that.

Just done another and it's given me a blank circle .... I'm so upset as it's doubtful I can dtd tomorrow, Monday or even Tuesday ... it has to be tonight. Should I test again at 6pm ladies? Help xxx

The line looks darker than it did earlier! Tbh not sure about not showing a smiley face as I've ever used the strip ones that just get a second line.

How do they work? It gives you a smiley when it detects the surge? It's not the dual hormones one just a normal LH detector one??

Congrats on the positive OPK Anna - get DTD today/tonight!
Your line looks dark hippy ?? I'm not too sure how your ones work but do you have any IC OPKs? I would still DTD tonight anyway and use your pre-seed! Ideal environment for those little 'doreens' to live in for a while until you get your positive OPK! Especially if you can't manage to DTD! Your O may be delayed and when you get a positive, it can still be 12-36 hrs until you ovulate anyway so even if you can't manage to DTD until Wednesday or that, you can still be in with a chance?
Please don't stress! If it puts your mind at rest, test again this evening and then take it from there! Hopefully you get your positive tonight or tomorrow then if you DTD tonight, you'll be covered!! #pma

Ooph, one day not checking this thread and there are a billion messages!! Lots of giggles though! Welcome jk, I'm quite new too and really enjoying the sharing going on here!

I'm clueless I'm afraid hippy so not sure I can help. I'd probably try again later to be fair but mostly because I'm quite good at convincing myself that I must have peed on it wrong/at the wrong/stupid stick doesn't work anyway. That my experience with pregnancy tests though!

I'm cd4 here. Af done with pretty much. Short but heavy. Still planning to give smep a go but have had an exhausting couple of days so the thought of dtd is a long way off my mind at the mo!

bella you make me snort with laughter!! And you sound just like me every time I attempt to go out!! I have an image in my head of how I'm going to look but it never turns out that way!!

Thank you dolly and anna ..... I don't know where my egg has got to this month ... maybe it also needs google maps 😂
I'll test again later I think and dtd anyway with my preseed .... hopefully that should help keep the Doreen's alive until my egg makes an appearance xxx

I did the boots one as attached also at 2pm .... what do we think ladies? Xxx

I would say that's a positive or very dam close!

DTD tonight Hippy with your preseed! And check again tomorrow at 2pm again to see if it's got darker or faded. Even if you DTD tonight you've got a few days covered from that an by looks of that line you will likely ovulate tomorrow or Monday anyway!

So happy days!!

Thank you anna. I know I sound silly but tTC is extra stressful for me as dp isn't fully on board yet so timing the tackle is of essence! I'm a firm believer in what will be will be but right now I'm like where's my bloody egg arrrrhhhh xxx

It's bonkers when it's your own body and you don't know what's going on in there! There should be a clear sign,like a green glow coming from your stomach signalling go go go!!

I don't think clear blue would like that very much cakes 😂
Xxx
