Hippychic79 · 11/04/2017 12:55

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.

Hey everyone, had a look at tv guide and says that on tonight's OBEM there's a couple who were trying for 6 years before they had their baby so thought it might be nice inspiration/pma! (I've outed myself as a mega saddo OBEM fan haha) hippy you weren't too sure about it but reckon you should watch another episode!

dolly so nice to see your scan!

olicat · 11/04/2017 19:23

Oh and now into my first 2ww... going to try not to symptom spot... (This won't happen)

hellybellyjellybean · 11/04/2017 19:46

Just popping in to get on the new thread, will catch up properly later!! Loving the scan picture, makes me hold out hope!!

Roseandbee · 11/04/2017 19:54

Olicat ive watched two episodes of Obem today already. I love it as I always fancied being a midwife, not that I'm cut out for it

BellaMoon · 11/04/2017 19:57

oh @Roseandbee i wouldn't pay much attention to an IC at this stage (unless of course it was a +)!

i ready online when i googled "creamy cm 7dpo" yesterday that a woman had this symptom, did IC's every day and didn't get a positive IC til 2 days after AF due. keep us posted tho, it's time for another BFP, maybe we could get ours on the same day, like @Moo31 and @Dollydaydream2829 did! #wecandoit

i know there's a fine line between being full of PMA/optimistic and being realistic... if anyone can guide me to that fine line please do cos the likelihood of me becoming detained is increasing by the hour #minibreakdown

my "if's" have turned to "when's" and my visualisation is coming along nicely BUT i keep having the negative nancy voice in my head bursting my bubble, for example, BFP due sunday and DH says "shall we get some sushi on sunday" and the PMA in me thinks "nope i'll have had my positive test by then so no way" but then the bubble bursts and i hear "don't be so stupid, you're jinxing it thinking like that". the internal turmoil is horrendous during the 2ww isn't it? #thevoices #chillpillrequired

anyway, i have well and truly put all of my eggs in this cycles basket as id be DELIGHTED with the timing of things should a baby be due in approx 38wks.... soooo watch this space this weekend as you might all have to perform an intervention should my basket fall over and smash all my peggy dreams #literallycometomyhouse #savemefromameltdown

Roseandbee · 11/04/2017 20:15

Thanks Bella #bfpbuddies I said to my husband wouldn't it be funny if i got pregnant at easter and gave birth on christmas day, then i said at least we'd know what to call the baby #jesus
I know what you mean its hard to keep up 100% pma, i usually get negative nancy ringing me up about now asking if i've got the booze in and spare room ready for aunt flo, lol. I do pretty good up till about 10dpo and i'm even positive on AF day as it could be the start of the cycle i get pregnant. But i do also worry about jinxing myself loosing pma at the vital moment. Im sort of dealing with it by not putting a date on my PMA, i'm just working on feeling positive that I will get pregnant and will have a baby

AmandaP86x · 11/04/2017 20:59

Thanks for the love girls! She's an arsehole I also got enraged buying tampons there - I did not choose the AF life she choose me fs 😭 Lol

Fingers crossed for u @bella hope it's ur month cycle buddy ❤️

Thanks @anna hopefully number 6 is lucky for us both 😘❤️
@cakes hahaha That's a good idea!!! Well I thought my app said I could have tested yesterday but AF not due until 16th so I was a bit unsure what this week would hold. Would have been my mums 49th bday yesterday so I'm glad she(AF) stayed away for that and I only got her this morning. Maybe she felt bad hahaha.

I have had a productive day off - 5km run cooked a curry and gutted my spare room. I'm thinking it's a sign that I should have it gutted and at least useable for the future lol!

My friend from work is coming to visit tomorrow with her little one he's 5 months old think iv mentioned her before but she had like 3 misscarridges then 2 failed ivf and now has her little one so it was a total journey for her but now she has him 😍 Nice happy ending for her!

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 22:02

Ha ha! I've been wondering all night why no one is talking 😆

sarahboro1 · 11/04/2017 22:03

OBEM rainbow!!! Xx

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 22:06

@amanda086x yes I do have loads of bleeding and loads of pain. It's not as bad as my postpartum though. When I had my bear I had 4 weeks bleeding and then my period came bang on time!

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 22:08

@sarahboro1 it's not that I was on the old thread 😂

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 22:22

@roseandbee my cycle dates put me as being due Christmas 2014 and we laughed saying we should call him Jesus. When I had my dating scan though they put conception at 22nd march which put me into 2015 so we missed seeing him for Christmas. His first Christmas was as an inside baby and I had to open his presents!

Moo31 · 11/04/2017 22:35

Anna2006 · 11/04/2017 22:53

Haha cakes I love it "The result that shall not be named". Bastard dam negative results.

Aww Bella we shall keep your basket up for you. Come on little Peggy eggy. Be rolling your way down that Fallopian tube. Why can't they just do as there told?!

Nancy has left the building for me today I think....an PMA is settling back in nicely with her feet up and a cuppa!

CD5. AF spotting is just about finishing up. So ready to go.

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 22:55

Some woman on TV tonight was splashing the cash on her unborn child and spent a fortune then complained how expensive having kids is! We've spent £1100 total on our son in two years (excluding days out and presents for birthday parties etc) and the next one will be entirely free!

sarahboro1 · 11/04/2017 23:03

Ha ha aww rainbow!!!#keepupgirl #talkingforengland #youllneverwalkalone !! Xx

rainbowsockstoday · 11/04/2017 23:10

Anyway my son has changed his name to Sparky now so it doesn't matter! That'll look good on his school admissions form!

BellaMoon · 12/04/2017 07:26

morning ladies

thanks @Anna2006 i trust you implicitly with my basket full of peggies 😘

i'm in a right grump this morn, feel like iv gotten out of the wrong side of bed and i'm scowling at everything. this makes me feel a bit like a PMT monster which is putting me further into a mood cos that's a sign AF could be approaching #moodycow obviously never been pregnant before so i don't know if that's also a sign of early pregnancy or not #heyho #whatwillbewillbe

DH still snoring like a tractor (have visualised dropping small things into his mouth so my visualisation still going strong lol) and even wee Bella is keeping clear this morn, she normally follows me around. must be my vibe of huffing puffing and swearing that's doing it #keepawideberth #donotapproachthesuspect #sheisthoughtobearmedanddangerous

HAHAHAHA now terribly late for work, this little ray of fucking sunshine better toddle off #toodaloomotherfuckers

Hippychic79 · 12/04/2017 08:41

Morning ladies - well I've decided to drop the daily Pma quotes as they seem to be saving themselves automatically to my Apple Mac photo library which quite frankly is a pain in the arse. I've posted 3 Pma quotes every day on every thread so far and it's getting harder to find new ones .... so I've decided to drop the quotes for a wee while ... hope you all don't mind :))
dolly lovely to see your bean is growing nicely :))
I didn't watch obem last night as I was getting my hair done but I have recorded it so will catch up based on your positivie reviews.
Well I'm cd5 today and it's taking me a little longer to bounce back with Pma this cycle ... I know every cycle is one step closer to bfp but that hasn't helped pull me out my meltdown this cycle .... grrrrr why is this journey taking so long? Every day feels like a week ... a week feels like a month and a month feels like a year .... #ttcslowsdowntimeasweknowit

Sorry for my mini whinge ladies ....

I need to get dp sexed up later .... that should put me back in a good mood xxx

Waiting for my dr 😬 they called me at 8am to ask how soon I could come in.

ArchiesMamaBird · 12/04/2017 08:58

Happy Hump Day #girlgang Grin

Anna We weren't trying for DS, I'd come off the pill for a few months because I was feeling a bit hormonal. And it turns out we were both pretty shit at remembering to use condoms Grin so I think it was a couple of months before DS was conceived, but I wasn't tracking anything so not exactly sure.

Phase eeeeek fingers crossed its an implantation bleed! How fab if it is Smile

Dolly OMG your scan picture is just the cutest thing ever! I am so excited for you.

Rainbow My DS's name is blindingly obvious because I have it in my MN username Grin

ArchiesMamaBird · 12/04/2017 08:59

Oh and Bella creamy CM can defs be a good sign! I've read loads that so many people get it before their BFP. In fact, didn't Moo have it before hers?

rainbowsockstoday · 12/04/2017 09:32

I read that too @archiesmamabird and I get excited ever month. I think it might be my normal though 😆
