#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

Morning ladies!

So I caved and done a test this morning BFN!! I don't know what's come over me as I've never been like this but I am only 9dpo and still have 5 days until af due so fx!!!

Have been symptom spotting all week but it's probably nothing haha!!

Enjoy your trip Anna!!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
I'm off to the SIL this arvo to celebrate being pregnant news!!

omg sorry think magpie might be POAS now, not salem - sorry again... i'm a coffee junkie and DH has asked me to cut back so haven't had one this morn... jeezo iv got verbal diarrhoea this morn 🙊

@nanny sorry for your BNF. we are roughly same DPO. fx for you xx

Mornin Ladies and welcome ethel!!

It's Saturday yeah!! And you know what that means......it's list day from Salem!!!! 😊

Slightly frustrated this morning, hubby came to bed late last night so we didn't dtd even though I'm in cd16 today and he's fully aware grrr!! He's better not waste this month like he did last month!!! Xx

Welcome Ethel

Loving your verbal diarrhoea this morning Bella .... are you not tempted to poas yet?

I'm wondering where Excentric has got to .... is she our first bfp? Please don't leave us hanging :)))

Just been baby bombed at the gym ... and my ex friend who's upduffed by my ex is a personal trainer at the gym was there this morning too ... her bump is getting bigger and quite frankly I wish she'd just do one! I'm not gonna lie here these baby bombs are getting harder to take.... with the exception of my mn friends ... I can't wait for you lovely lot to get your bfp's xxx

I'm feeling your frustration Sarahb ... my dp obviously doesn't realise how much I want to be upduffed and often wants to postpone dtd .... I can't even freaking say why I want it so bad ... I'm cd 8 today and already wondering which day to catch him next week ... Tuesdays are out cuz he works and Wednesday I think is too soon ... Thursday will be cd13 and I usually ovulate on cd14 so I'm thinking pin him down on Thursday if not Friday but then he has to go to work at 10:30pm and understandably isn't always keen on dtd before he goes ... Saturday may be too late so I'm gonna come up with a bull shit excuse as to why I can't do Saturday ... it's already making anxious ... like you said Bella ... I need to chill the fuck out
Xxxx

Aargh, really want to test despite dp. Cd67 today. Boobs massive. Jeans won't fasten. Feel sick and dizzy. Is it wrong to do a sneaky test during the week?? 😱 Hope everyone else is ok. Looking forward to some bfps soon.

Oh Hippy sorry to hear that. I agree, the baby bombs are hard to deal with. Especially when people are getting BFPs after 1 cycle etc. We will get there, don't worry .

Oh yessss sarah it's list day . I do love a good list!!!!!

mrsbarnett you need to POAS today!! Your symptoms don't sound like AF.... just saying .

Go on MrsB, I'm excited for you fx for you xx

Ahhh sorry about the BB Hippy. Gosh thats hard. It will be our turn soon.

We're out shopping. Sneakily bought a hpt! Might use it tomorrow!

Mrsb do it today!!!! We're hanging here!!!! 😁

Hippy it's really difficult to try and keep it all romantic and chilled when you know there's only a small window but you don't want to make it so obvious why you want him in case it puts him off!!!! Even worse for you if oh is on nights!!!! Oh and that baby bomber at the gym needs to do one, with your ex as well?? Big hugs to you that must be so difficult. 💐 Xx

Hate the bloody baby bombs. I have bombs going off left,right and centre! 😂😂😂 FML

Yep we will all get there!

Deffo need to get testing MrsB they sound like very good symptoms to me!!!

Thank you for your well wishes ladies regarding the baby bombs ... it's been a tough week this week and I think I'm finding it extra difficult without my smokes ... I will not cave in on this as it will be 4 weeks on Monday since I quit but it is hard as they used to be my go to crutch if you like. I don't care about my ex anymore I just wish I was pg and not him and my ex friend. And the other girl is only 22 and wasn't even tTC ... it kind of makes me sad when us ladies who have clearly got a confortable lifestyle (I'm assuming this from the nice holidays, new bathrooms and pets ... which don't come cheap) and have the perfect set up for new babies are struggling tTC ... whilst those who are just starting out accidentally fall pg ... it doesn't seem fair. Oh well this is not PMA so I will pipe down now :)))

Mrsb just poas and let us know asap good luck Hun
Xxxx

Thanks Sarahb .... I definitely need to inject some romance ... dp and I struggle with the winter months and just want to go to bed to sleep :)) .... roll on next week ... fx dp is feeling super horny ... I know I will be :))) I usually do around ovulation xxx

Don't give in to the cravings Hippy. You are doing amazingly! Don't let the baby bomb get you down. Your time is coming.

Bella I am 9dpo today and have no symptoms of anything at the moment. Everything seems to have disappeared. Not sure of that itself is a sign?! I really hate the last week of the 2ww. Like, really.
I am not POAS until Thursday at the earliest if AF hasn't arrived (she says ).

MrsB you really need to test - we are all willing that BFP to show it's face. Good luck. Xx

ah ok @magpie i thought you were a few days ahead of me but we're pretty much the same x

@mrsB fx for you, excited to see the BFP

did @excentric follow us to new threat? we were waiting to hear about her POAS weren't we or did i miss it? x

No Bella you didn't miss it, no news is good news as they say!!

Keep going hippy!! You'll break those cravings, just keep in mind why you're doing it Hun. We're the same as you and your oh, by the time we crawl into bed we're shattered!! I even remember trying to get hubby interested and hearing him snore 5 seconds later!!! 😂 Had a really strong opk today so I'm afraid he's dtd tonight whether he likes it or not!!! Xx

As I've had a really strong opk this morning ladies when would you recommend we dtd? It was a faint line yesterday so we're definitely getting closer. Would you say tonight and tomorrow or tonight and Monday?? Xx

I say tonight ,tomorrow and Monday if you can muster it! Haha. I would say deff tonight. Think ideal timing is for the spent to get up there 2 days ahead of schedule.

They have to go through a process of capacitation once in the Fallopian tube (so I've read) which takes at about 6 hours sometimes even 12 hours before they can actually penetrate the egg!

Good God Anna 3 nights in a row??? I'll be lucky!! 🙈 Don't the sperm need time to replenish or something?? I didn't know they needed a good while to get up there??!! Xx

@anna and @sarah yip iv just read that too. re: the journey time. strong sperm can be 45 mins but the slower sperm can take up to 12hrs or so!

think my DH mentioned something about quality is better after a days rest but think that's cos i was rather demanding during FW and made sure we DTD everyday 🙈

I would say tonight is a definite Sarah as the two days prior to ovulation are key. Then see how it goes...

ah @hippy please don't give in! i just tried searching for an appropriate PMA quote
for you (as you've helped us so much) but there wasn't one handy

anytime i am tempted to give in, normally with exercise, i always imagine i had an enemy willing me to cave. that spurs me on so hope this helps and you can do the same. you're 💪🏼 girl, xxx

Ha ha Bella it's a tough life being a husband isn't it!! 😂

Ok thanks ladies, I'd best make him a nice tea tonight when he comes home!! Xx
