#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

aww @helly has AF arrived or are you going on a BFN result? sending you big massive PMA hugs xx

Up before me Bella xxx

Ha, what can I say?! We are both sporty and relatively fit. We were both off work for that time. Had no kids for half that time and both horny! Lots of alcohol consumed too! FX for us all! X

Sorry to hear that helly. Have a good cry if you need to, we all know how vile CD1 can be. Then get back on board the #PMA train for your BFP this cycle

So sorry helly. Wallow all you need today and whinge away. It's a shitty time of the month.

mrsb echoing every one else, amazing achievement!! I get the raging horn in my fw but that'll only last a few days. Even DH wouldn't manage 18. Amazing!!

Cd8 here. On the look out for ewcm. It arrived quite early last month but I wasn't peeing on anything to check if that coincided with my surge. Let's see what happens this time. Planning some more dtd tonight anyways.

Sarahb Respect for maintaining such a relaxed approach that you don’t even know what cd you’re on. I can only admire such an approach, I feel like I have lived through every single cycle day since starting ttc, and the only real break I’ve had is when I got poorly at xmas and was forced to miss a cycle. It was kind of nice not to stress, but I am such a control freak I don’t think I could do it. Did you not even use opk’s or look at an app? Loving the symptom spot, fx its pg not af. Has your DH not noticed you’re on strike? I don’t think my DP would notice either to be honest… I truly hope your DH learns his lesson.

Magpie Good luck with your personalised SMEP plans.

Anna yaaaay lets hope fertilised eggs are rolling down our fallopian tubes and implanting nicely. Thank you for the diagram share.

MrsB You are a hero – 18 times #wowwowwow #luckylady Good luck with testing on Saturday, just think when you get that BFP you’ll be half way through your pregnancy.

Salem I like to test on the weekend if I can too as it gives you time to digest the news either way…. Doing a pg and then going to work just doesn’t seem right. FX for you and happy symptom spotting. Loving the knicker watch hashtag!

Charley Your symptoms are sounding promising, what DPO are you again? Sorry memory like a sieve!

Ohb Good work getting DP to DTD with minimal effort, I could learn a lot from you. 6 nights in a row…. Wow, wow, wow. #dtdenvy #fwbringiton

Something Operation TTC must continue, good luck with finding creative ways to get in dtd whilst at Center Parks. Cheers to your PMA being back in full force ready for the next cycle.

Phase Yaaaaaaay for EWCM and yaaaaaaay for fertile week… whoop whoop indeed…. Nice to hear that you’re trying a new position, DP and I have got into a bit of a rut on that front. I’m in the 2ww at the moment 2DPO so DP and I will be dtd for fun in the next few weeks #inspiredtobemoreadventurous

Midget Your symptoms are sounding promising – only 5 days to go till testing…. Eeeeeek #bringonthebfp

Moo Happy symptom spotting to you too – glad I’m not the only one that spots a new symptom every month!

Helly sorry to hear you’re out… do what you need to do to cheer yourself up today and even tomorrow… one month closer to your BFP xxx

Archies well said… PMA is the only way

Cakes Will you be using OPKs this cycle? If so, when are you going to start POAS. My cycles are 26-29 days so I start POAS around CD10 or 11

Bella #notlongtillfertileweek Are you going to be at home on the crucial days?

As the other ladies have said, I'm super impressed with your effort barnett
Sorry for your BFN helly
Any mad symptoms sarah or moo ? When are you girls gonna test? Waiting until AF due date/the weekend?
Still bloated, still cramping, increased CM, no sore boobs or nausea though. I don't usually get any symptoms before AF apart from nausea these last two cycles (which is a bitch) and I've also spotted at least 4-5 days before AF the last two cycles which is a bit of a concern. So far, no spotting but if it was to go by last two, I should start today. So on obsessive knicker watch today!!

Funny you should ask hippy as I've had a little ewcm today (early again this cycle-cd8 today) although my cycles are 28/29 days. So I've whipped out an opk for the first time ever,lucky I'm working from home today! Not wee'd since this morning and not drank a great deal so good timing right? And I've got a faint line already. Is that normal this early? When should I test again? Maybe I'm oving early and keep missing it as we've mostly dtd round what I thought was my fw based on dates so cd12/13/14 ish.

Hmm...

Eurgh, reading that oving early is. It good for your fertility...need to put doctor google down and see what tomorrow brings!

Is not good for fertility that should say!

Dolly - good luck with obsessive knicker watch.... fx for BFP xxx

Cakes I actually noted my EWCM this cycle on my spreadsheet yes I'm a TTC saddo and I noticed EWCM last monday which was CD10, but as I'm sure you'll recall after all my POAS action at the weekend, I didn't actually get the smiley confirmation on the CB OPK until Sunday (CD16)! I had light lines on the OPK's from CD11 which was first day i started testing...

What brand of OPK's are you using?
I would test around the same time again tomorrow, although apparently the optimum time to OPK test is 2pm - so I was told by the lovelies on here.

Step away from Doctor Google - he is not qualified :)

Thanks hippy! That's reassuring. Will try again tomorrow around 2pm in the work loos! I should know that about doctor google having consulted him too many times with a newborn. He is a moron and likes to baffle you!!

I actually picked up the boots ones as saw them on offer the other day. Worked well and quickly so I'm happy so far.

18 days in a row! Holy shit!

Will be day 5 of dtd tonight and I proper cba at the moment, I'll be barbering until 9pm too home for around 9:15.

Might just have to have a quickie on the dyer or something 😂

You're very welcome Cakes
I visit Doctor Google every day about something TTC related - today I've been looking for affirmations to assist implantation ... whilst singing come on doreen in my head :)

I got the CB dual and Boots ones as back up

xxx

cakes - I had faintly positive lines in the OPK from starting to test around D7 then right up until I got my strongly positive. Then I stopped testing. I think some folk can have faintly positive lines throughout their cycle. Hadn't heard an early ovulation date hampering fertility (other than folk not realising the early date and not DTD until later in the cycle!!) I'd always thought it was a short luteal phase that could hamper fertility??
Thanks hippy - still the normal CM today, no spotting so far!! Here's to the BFP on Fri morning.... FX!!

Thanks dolly that's good to know! Apparently early ov can mean an egg has been released before it's mature or that the lining of your womb isn't thick enough for successful implantation. But only something to worry about if it's happening every month

For the record, anything before cd11 is considered early. 11 and after,you're good!

Helly so sorry to hear AF turned up! Hope you're at home with a glass of wine in hand. One cycle closer

Hippy I'm only 6dpo. Still have the same heavy cramps in my stomach.... maybe it's just all the crap I've been eating lately though! Not due until Wednesday (possibly Tuesday of last cycles to go by). How are you getting on?

Dolly all the symptoms are looking really good for you, especially the lack of spotting! When are you testing? I should really hold off until Tuesday at least but don't know if I can/will haha!

Cakes of you have EWCM I would definitely get dtd every few days if you can. The cm will keep the Doreen's safe up there until ovulation.

OhB are you close to hitting ovulation now? FX you get your quickie in tonight.

Evening everyone! I haven't had a chance to look at the chat today...I hope everyone is doing well. Could I possibly ask some advice about OPK sticks? I'm on cd5 and AF still here (just, think last day). But I think my stick it +I've. Is this possible??? I think the second line is definitely darker than it has been the lsst 3 days. I can't see how to upload a photo of it on this mobile app. Is there a way? Thank you!! Freaking a little

If you're on mobile click the paper clip bit next to text, then click the plus sign Hun.

leannie I had a pretty strong line on my OPK the day after I finished AF but after that it went fainter through the days until I got my positive on CD 15.

Thanks charley, really hope it's positive symptoms and not just my mind playing tricks! Ive been feeling crampy too intermittently, like yourself. Put it down to trapped wind lol! Feeling random bouts of nausea at times this afternoon. I'm CD 9 or 10 today and I'd be due AF Sunday/Monday. I would normally try to hold out until AF is due but I have a couple of parties over the weekend so would preferably like to know beforehand for the whole alcohol situ, so I'm gonna test Fri which would be CD 11 or 12. I know there's still a chance of a BFN but I've invested in a FRER so fingers crossed!

Hey ladies, no new symptoms here I'm afraid, just the low down tummy ache. I won't test until I'm late, my bfp is due on Friday but I think I ovulated a couple of days late so I probably would leave it til mid next week!!! I did use opks hippy but that's all. I don't think he's noticed yet lol!! Hopefully by my next fw he will have!! 😂

Helly sorry for your af. Spoil yourself this week and then back on it girl!! 💐

Thanks for all the messages, woke in the middle of the night and had a little bit of spotting, nothing all morning, teeny bit more spotting this aft and again nothing since. Wish it'd just turn up properly and get on with it so I can with getting back on with dtd, going to have a few wallow days (no wine in the house boo!) then cheer up and think forward to next cycle!x

Following from my previous post. Cd5 and got this at 4pm...anyone know what could be going on? Thank you Dolly!

They do say that no symptoms is actually a good sign sarah - usually it's too early to get any symptoms and as pregnancy and AF symptoms are so identical, it's almost better NOT to get symptoms as that way AF may not show up and you'll get your BFP?

Aww helly - did you get a BFN when you tested? When is AF due? It may just be a late implantation bleed! Hopefully it doesn't progress to proper AF and you get your BFP in a couple days!
