#2 PMA all the way to BFP xxx

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

Anna I'm due to test on 1st march, fingers crossed! If I had a cat I'd be peeing on that, feel desperate to pee on something but the house is dry ha ha! Glad the pma is still going strong as i have started to feel really down the last few days, have been in a right sulk with DH today but he's not taking me on but am ready to blow ha ha!

Ohb0llocks · 26/02/2017 20:57

This is my ovia... so I plan to do it every day until 2nd, then every other day till either bfp or AF.

At least if bfp doesn't rock up this month I might lose a few lbs!!

Oh ladies I do think I'm going to disappoint you all this cycle!! 🙈 We have literally dtd 3 times this cycle!!! (Mainly due to my aforementioned dummy spitting spat!! ) so really, the immaculate conception would need to be in order!! However this does mean I am very relaxed in my 1ww and not symptom spotting at all!!! Xx

MissMagpie · 26/02/2017 21:31

Evening everyone! Nice to see some new names in here. Welcome to the madhouse! ;)

I have been away at a wedding this weekend so just catching up on the news. Good POAS-ing Hippy! Fingers crossed for you.

I am so excited for our first BFP. It's got to be close.

I am on CD5 and just about to finish AF. Quite a light one for me this month which has made a nice change.

Anna2006 · 26/02/2017 21:40

Ha spot on magpie this is a blooming mad house. But a lovely one.

Oh exciting hellybelly not long for you to test at all really! Only like 3 days. Praying for you!

Aw bad luck on the DTD front sarah but still you never know. One little swimmer could of got through and hung on for dear life! We shall go with that story for now until AF makes a very rude appearance!

Charley2016 · 26/02/2017 21:44

Looks like there are a load of us due to poas in the first week of March! Must be almost a month this threads. Even going so i definitely think we're due an influx of BFP! Just did my one for luck... although I'm so far from the SMEP I had planned😳 to be fair I've tried different ever month! Every day, every other day, before ov, after ov....

Anna2006 · 26/02/2017 21:55

Good luck charley it's looking good! So your 3dpo today? Is that right?

Think I will count from 1DPO tomorrow. Got still quite a strong line on OPK again today an I had even more intense pains on one side and bad back ache over like just a random hour so think the big O day was today!

Hippychic79 · 27/02/2017 06:18

Happy Monday! It's a cold one here! Hope everyone has a great day! :)

Charley2016 · 27/02/2017 08:18

Happy Monday ladies! Hope you all had a great day. Yes Anna I'm now 4 DPO. Hadn't really been thinking about it over the weekend but now that it's back to the work week I'm sure I'll be overthinking everything 😂 I woke up at 4am and didn't get back to sleep until nearly 6am so I'm shattered! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend x

veegstez · 27/02/2017 09:14

Hello lovelies, I found this thread last night, can I join please? Hubs and I got married in September and are really hoping to start a family soon. I've been keeping a note of my cycle lengths for the last few months and they range from 24-29 days. I haven't done any ovulation tests, we have just been dtd as often as we feel like, usually a few times per week anyway, but been a bit hit and miss the last few months due to various things. I'm 34, ttc 1 and bfp due 20-25 march? I will count this cycle as 1. I might buy some opk sticks to try to identify my fw.

Hippychic79 · 27/02/2017 09:38

Welcome Vee to thread PMA... congrats on recently getting wed... feel free to comment / ask questions etc.... enjoy the journey xxx

Lean I meant to say, thank you for your kind words, you’re right this thread is full of lovely ladies on the cusp of their BFP and extremely knowledgeable in all things, especially TTC.

Anna Fair play for staying relaxed, I’ve really struggled to stay calm this cycle and I think that’s why my egg was delayed by a day. I too will have a bitch fit if I’m not upduffed this cycle! Hope you managed to stay awake and get another dtd in.

Salem Glad to hear your PMA also known as symptom spotting is in full swing. Not a twat at all. Keep the crazy symptoms coming 

Dolly I would be pleased with those efforts of dtd this cycle. Eeek fx for your bfp.

Bella Glad to hear you’re through the worst of your hangover and you made me smile – giving DH some practice of holding your hair whilst being sick, what a lovely DH you have. Sorry to hear you might miss fw next cycle, that’s happened to me twice since starting this journey and it is totally freaking irritating but at least you will have a cycle of not stressing too much and another cycle to prep your body for the main event. #PMA

Salem No baby announcements this weekend but I couldn’t avoid talking to one of my friends at the gym on Saturday (she told me last week that she’s upduffed) and continued this week to tell me more about it… she only came off contraception on 01 December, initially she was told she was 11 weeks but she’s just found out that she’s only 8 weeks and is now really worried because she’s gone round telling everyone. I tried very hard to be happy, helpful and reassuring without saying ‘well that’s a nice problem to have, I wish I was in your shoes.’

Moo Reassuring to read that I’m not the only POAS addict, this cycle I’ve been a complete nutter with it!

Cakes Sorry to hear you may be away for fw too, hopefully you won’t be but if you are it does give you another month to prep and a whole month of not stressing.

Midget Sorry I didn’t mean to pry on your health condition, although I am pleased to read you’re on the mend and we will all keep our fx for your BFP.

Helly Try not to get too down, (says the hypocrite over here) I know this is easier said than done. I always tend to take my moods out on my DP but he doesn’t rise to it either, I guess this is a good thing. Glad to hear you haven’t pee’d all over the house. FX for you, not long till you test now, eeeeek 

Ohb Good luck with your gruelling schedule of dtd. I wish I could have dtd every night in fw 

Sarahb I would be happy with dtd x3 times in fw, I only dtd twice this cycle – remember, it only takes one bad ass swimmer 

Magpie Thank you, I can’t believe I poas seven freaking times in a day! Glad AF was light for you. I too am super excited for our first round of BFP’s… it can’t be long now!

Charley I try for a different approach every month too… I always try and base it on previous collected data… which in theory sounds great… but then mother nature threw me a curve ball this cycle with my ovulation being slightly late so my best laid plans had to be amended. I should not have stressed out so much early on in the cycle! I completely empathise with you on the worrying front – I woke up at 4am on Saturday morning and 5am on Sunday morning …. And that was just to test for peak fertility …. I worry even more towards the end of the 2ww and find myself waking up in a panic in the middle of the night… I know that worrying isn’t going to change things but I just can’t seem to help myself! I’ve always been like this not just with TTC, when I want something so bad, it’s all I can think about!

Quick update from me – So after my manic POAS action at the weekend, I got my smiley yesterday morning. I’m pleased to report that DP and I dtd last night, after gobbing off about orgasms, DP just about managed it, thank god!! So I guess from today I am officially in the 2ww. Bring on the BFP’s 

Good work Hippy! FX.
Welcome Vee. The more the merrier!

BellaMoon · 27/02/2017 10:55

Hi to all newbies Smile

I'm excited for all POAS'er this week ladies - please keep us up to date with pics - just had an idea, for a laugh, why dont we get inventive with our pics - add something funny into the pic, or a background other than the bathroom sink? says me that's not doing to be pissing on anything for a couple of weeks Grin I've got time to get inventive haha

I might might have been able to arrange my travel for work outwith FW - FX for that ladies. I'm going to be bang tidy this time, none of that military static smiley face "Right babe, assume the position" stuff as it didnt work and wasnt that enjoyable (well I did enjoy myself but DH admitted he didnt). I'm adding the fun back into things and making sure that Christian and Anastasia dont have a look in Blush

Anna2006 · 27/02/2017 11:16

Yep we fitted in another DTD aswell. So we covered 4 days in a row on FW. So fx it's enough!

Well done on DTD Hippy. Excellent news. Deff in for a shot this cycle then!

Someone had to get a BFP surely?!

X

Hippychic79 · 27/02/2017 11:56

I wont be poas for a while now bella I've more than had my fill .... but when I do ... I will try and be inventive 😂
Glad you've managed to rejig your work schedule .... missing a cycle is a pain in the arse!

Thanks Anna & magpie .... i only managed to dtd twice in fw but the timings were good in the end and i used preseed both times so fx xxx

OP posts:
Dollydaydream2829 · 27/02/2017 12:27

I'm fighting the urge SO much to POAS today. It's only 7 DPO so it's waaaayy too early and would be a waste of money. I don't even have any in the house.
I think it's because it's my days off and I have nothing to distract me from this TTC business.
Symptoms wise, I'm still having the twinges and an increased discharge sorry tmi which may be a bit of thrush as I'm quite itchy too! I'm not prone to it and am wondering if it's to do with the preseed we used this month?! Anyone else ever had this problem from using it??
Loving the inventive suggestions bella .... that'll give me something to think about Grin

Hippychic79 · 27/02/2017 13:28

Awwww bless you Dolly - completely understand your urge to POAS early, good job you haven't got any tests.

I've used pre-seed the last couple of months, but as you know i don't dtd that much as DP doesn't know how hard I'm trying ttc. I used it once last cycle and twice this cycle and it doesn't seem to have given me thrush, but i will let you know if this changes. How much dosage have you been using? I used 3ml. xxx

OP posts:
Dollydaydream2829 · 27/02/2017 13:50

It's maybe just a little combination of everything or just bad luck on the thrush front but I've enjoyed using it this month so don't really want to be put off if it keeps giving me problems!
I stuck to the 2mls and that was perfect for me! I'm going away the end of the week for a couple days so no chance to POAS then and that'll be 10/11 DPO so that way it'll have to be a weekend test and hopefully the BFP!

Moo31 · 27/02/2017 14:02

Dolly - I read somewhere about preseed causing thrush - was it someone on here? I can't remember! Hopefully you don't have it though :s

Bella - loving the inventive idea - my oh is much more creative than me so I will get him thinking for ideas - hopefully will only have to be inventive for one month! That's great re work timings also :)

Welcome Vee - jump on and enjoy this ride on the PMA train. Destination - BFP!! Grin

Charley - poor you waking up at the crack of dawn Sad Its easier said than done to stay calm isn't it! I am also tired today but that would be my own fault for obsessively scouring the baby name threads until nearly 1am #ihavelosttheplot

Hippy - fab news! So glad all that poas action wasn't wasted. Fx one of those wee swimmers does the job!!

Re symptom spotting I am not obsessing honest ... ok maybe I am I have had (with potential non-pg explanation in brackets):

  • dizziness on Sat am (maybe got up to quickly)
  • Sat afternoon and this morning I have had the shakes as if I was hungover (but haven't touched a drop) (but could be low blood sugar / hunger)
  • heavy bbs when I take my bra off (could be af or they could just be heavy!)
  • my asthma has been playing up all weekend and it normally doesn't bother me at all, I couldn't get a breath last night (but could be the cold weather or the paint fumes from Sat or the dust from getting our new bathroom in)
  • runny nose (I could be getting a cold)
  • tiredness (refer to comment about re baby name threads - I am obsessed!)

Anyone else in the 2ww have any symptoms to report?! Grin

BFP 4/3

BellaMoon · 27/02/2017 14:56

haha @moo

#hashtagdaftjustlikeme

#loveahashtag

#pointlessbutwhocares

all those symptoms appear pretty normal on their own with your (explanations) but add them all together and the fact you e been TTC/DTD id say they were all pointing to one thing #uptheduff #bunintheoven #soexcited

MrsT1234 · 27/02/2017 15:32

Hi to all the Newbies!!
Unfortunately, I am out this month as the witch has turned up a day early! I have such a long cycle that my BFP is now due on the 5th April.
I'm shaking it off and gonna be planning cycle 7 meticulously. Right after a fair amount of wine. And a sleep. And maybe a little cry.
Why is this so hard????

BellaMoon · 27/02/2017 15:35

aw @MrsT that's rotten sorry to hear AF there let alone early! 🥂😴 xxx

Roseandbee · 27/02/2017 16:31

Just doing a quick post as wanted to show you the difference in my opks the two at the bottom are from today lighter one FMU at about 9.30 then the dark one at 1pm. I generally do a few a day when I'm getting close to OV as they say you can miss it. Not sure the last one is fully positive I'm guessing if I done again this evening or tomorrow morning my test line will be darker than the control line. I'm cycle day 11 of a 28 day cycle

#2 PMA all the way to BFP xxx
Anna2006 · 27/02/2017 16:40

rose the last one looks pretty much positive to me. That's about as positive as I ever get!

Sorry about AF MrsT. Must be shit having to wait that long for another guy. But make this next one count. We will all get there.

I'm very excited for someone on here to get a BFP too! Can't wait for the peeing on socks to begin.

Love the idea bella of making our test photos amusing! Deffo up for that but you guys have two weeks to wait for one from me lol x
