PMA Express to BFP Thread #5

[Hippychic79]

So we are rolling on to thread #five –
We are not giving up, our PMA is still alive.

Put pure and simply,
We want to have babies,
God, please help everyone of these lovely ladies.

We support each other,
We are funny and kind,
And we will not be giving up,
Until we see that thick BFP line.

Congrats Phase! What a lovely easter pressie.

So I'm on CD27 and I think 12 dpo. Been spotting a few days but still sore boobs. Tested yesterday and BFN.

Not sure if I'm late or not as cycles were very short and LP only 9/10 days until last cycle which was 28 and LP 14.

Thinking must not be upduffed as have lots of spotting red/brown. If no full AF by Friday I will test on Saturday.

Archies you're very welcome ... I too needed a kick up the butt this week, that a lovely Scottish friend of mine gave me :) I think getting down is acceptable now and again... this journey is tough... and i constantly feel like a child, with the inner voice in my head constantly saying 'are we nearly there yet'.

Cakes yes yes we will all be upduffed when the time is right - I am big believer in that your life is pretty much mapped out for you. Let's just hope and pray that time is soon for all of us :)

Flash Sorry to hear you got a BFN, but fair play for having the guts to test... I didn't even have the courage to test last cycle. FX that your spotting is IB and that your BFP is just hiding round the corner.

thank you @ArchiesMamaBird 😘

the thing is, none of us know how long our journey to BFP are going to be. i hopped on the bus late january and i fully expected to be trying for around 12/18 months. i have been amazed by the changes in my body, i almost fainted when i ovulated first cycle and then freaked out that i was having unprotected sex with my DH (first time ever in my life). #schoolgirlmentality

anyway, guess what i'm saying is, we all have our own journeys, some shorter, some longer we will never be able to fully control when the BFP will show but what we can control is how happy, motivated and positive we are along the way.

i stressed out big time during cycle 2 (peggy did a runner) and it did me no good whatsoever, i was miserable and was so angry with my body. so when AF rocked up, i decided to be super kind to her and to myself, my #PMA went through the roof and i genuinely believe it helped. even if it didn't, it made me a nicer person to be around #crabbitcuntcycle2

all the tips, advice sharing and PMA boosting that goes on here amongst the #girlgang is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and i cannot wait until every1 of us has that BFP we so deserve.

hahahahahahahaha @Hippychic79 sooooo good to have you on form with that sucker punching #PMA! 😘😘😘

Yes Bella you have made me feel better already! And I know that I am SO lucky to have my gorgeous DS, so I'm honestly not moaning (not too much anyway )

It's just that 10 loooooooong months of being super positive are starting to take their toll on the old PMA. I'll be fine tomorrow, just having a wobble because me and DH had a barney last night and still aren't talking properly yet (I like to make him suffer )

i know what you mean @ArchiesMamaBird its hard to be a ray of fucking sunshine all the time haha. don't get me wrong, there are days there ain't no positivity going on in my mind cos i'm just a moody cow and i want to physically harm my nearest and dearest (have never, honest officer). it happens to everyone so you're a trooper having been a PMA'er for 10 cycles #massivepatontheback #keepthefaith

and a row, jeez, aren't they the worst! making him suffer, hehehe a girl after my own heart #restingbitchface

Everyone's gonna have dips in their PMA, the prob with TTC is gets a bit all consuming. I'm positive I'll get there in the end but the waiting does suck! I'm throwing myself into a lot of house projects, I'm quite into decorating and stuff so that's helping me have something else to think about occasionally.

Anyway some good news for me today as I've been trying to get in touch with the fertility people to book in my hycosy for days so I was worried it wouldn't happen this month. Finally got through and managed to get booked in for the 24th #progress

it's good you can keep busy @Roseandbee i'm terrible at decorating! i like shopping tho lol!

what's a hycosy if you don't mind me asking? x

No course not Bella. They inject a die into your uterus so they can try and see if there are any blockages in your Fallopian tubes. It's while your awake and they use a dildo cam to see what's happening lol so it's not like an operation. I'm a bit excited about it because it's supposed to increase your fertility for about 3 months after it (but that's not why they do it, it's just like the last check before IVF)

i am in constant awe of medical science and procedures! how fecking amazing is that. obviously i'd prefer it if you didn't need it but wow, just wow.

and how fab that it comes with a fertility bonus #worththedildoexperience

Great news @Roseandbee! Hope it goes well and you et the bonus boost!

Feeling grumpy and crampy this evening. Trying to hold on to the positivity I was feeling yesterday but afraid af is on her merry way. I'll take your approach @BellaMoon and give her a warm welcome!

Evening girls. I am loaded with cold/flu. Woke up today in tears at the pain all over my body it was awful 😱 Annoying cough at sore bones literally just made it into a bath after some toast and Nutella. Due back to work tomorrow night so praying I'm better tomorrow.

Love the PMA on this thread i defo think the BFP recently is defo helping we will all get there eventually. I really do believe what's meant to be will be ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm CD 8 and for the past few hours iv had such sore left sided pain 🙁 Could I be ovulating this early? I have kinda watery CM but I dunno if it's to do with all the decongestant stuff 😰 Help

I am also absolutely hooked on 13 reasons why it's on Netflix a good distraction from TTC chat (well for me anyway could spend hours on forums etc)

Xx

@AmandaP86x i'm just getting back to normal from the lurgy. it was hellish, could hardly breath then when i did manage a good inhail, i coughed my lungs up! pure dead rotten so it was #manflutimesamillion #getwellsoon

my colleagues were all talking about that show today. will need to tune in. i'm addicted to The Good Wife and Designated Survivor just now #netflixjunkie

Thanks @Bella the gunk I'm bringing up is giving
Me the dry boke!!!!

However the left sided pain now has me googling all kinds of shit ahhaha

morning sexy ladies (said Fat Bastard voice from Austin Powers)

despite waking up in a panic from a crazy ass dream about breast feeding (too crazy to actually tell you the content as you'd have me locked up) i am feeling pretty happy. here's 3 reasons why:-

1- i got the best snuggles off wee bella this morning without a single nibble or scratch (progress)
2- i was late home last night and walked in just as DH was serving dinner (belter)
3- iv been fab on my slimming world healthy eating plan and have lost 4.5lbs (no sushi & champs clearly helped)

all trivial but sometimes is the small things we should take more notice of isn't ☺️

soooo, anyone else wanna share 3 things that are making them happy right about now?

m.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM

Great game @BellaMoon!

1. DD is still asleep meaning I've just showered and got dressed in total peace
2. DH is back at work today so I can stop feeling jealous about him getting an extra day off
3. I have no meetings booked in at work today so can actually get something done!

Very easy to find the small things if you actually think about it!

(Af us also due today so I'm on obsessive knicker watch but I'll overlook that for now!!)

Amazing on the 4.5lb loss too! I ❤️ SW.

ohh those are fab @CakesALot i can imagine that shower was amazing!

are you for testing or just waiting it out? #goodluck #fingerscrossed #SWforlife

I don't have any tests in. Wasted my last cheapie on Monday. So waiting it. Don't think I'll even pass a shop today!

@Amanda hope you are feeling better soon!

@Cakes - fx for you and everyone else dueto test soon! :)

@Bella and @Phase have either of you made gp / mw apps yet? Keep us posted of your key dates etc!

My three things (not including the obvious being upduffed one!) :)

1. I had a lovely long weekend spent with family, just lovely
2. My cousin asked me to be godmother to her baby girl at the weekend eek!
3. I did a shop yesterday and have some lovely tasty meals planned out which I am excited for especially as my nausea and sickness have subsided (we've got v lazy with dinners recently)

cakes sorry to hear af may be on her way ... sadly we can't all get our bfps at the same time. So yes welcoming af is sometimes all you can do and view each month as another month that your getting stronger and closer to conceiving. We will all get there.

rose I was truly hoping you wouldn't need the hycosy but am pleased to hear you've got your appointment- I've heard it makes you more fertile for 3 cycles so it can't be bad.

amanda soz to hear your full of cold ... I've heard that some cold and flu meds aren't good for ttc ... can't remember where I read it or even if I read it but would suggest good old lemon and honey as an alternative or gargling salt water .... that seems to kill off the germs ... a good old tip from my late nana that one :))

bella hope your okay today chic ... still high on the bfp vibe 😘

Well I'm cd 12 today and another blank circle on the cb opk and faint line on the boots opk... I'm using both opks as I'm hoping to get a bit of warning before the lh surge so I can sow the sex seed with dp in good time ... hopefully dp will be up for some good loving at the weekend ....

Morning moo

My 3 things are -

1. I had a good gym session this morning
2. Dp got all horny with me in the middle of the night, I'll spare you the details but we didn't have sex (he does this in his sleep occasionally and has no recollection of it when he wakes up)
3. Peggy is on route

Xxx

love the 3 things posts ladies, love love love it #happyvibes. on a side note, what the fuck has happened to pharrell williams? he looks the exact same as he did 20 years ago! #goodgenes

@Moo31 i have a GP appt on friday afternoon just to get the ball rolling. iv heard from friends that i don't need a GP appt i should have just called the MW but i also take a strong antihistamine, usually daily, that i know i can't now so ill need to discuss this with the GP too. god knows how i am going to get through a summer without it but needs must.
