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.

Aw @magpie defo test again in the morning!!! That's so shit pure keeping u guessing! I hope it's good news tomorrow xxx

I am CD17 and I swear I have HUNNERS a of CM - feels like iv peed myself honestly
Lol and also quite a lot of left pain. Anyway DTD now just lying in bed now moving 😂

Didn't buy anymore CD ovulation kits as I am trying so hard to just relax this cycle. God knows what's happening 😭

Morning ladies :))

magpie praying hard for a positive result for you. Come on mini magpie bean xxx

rose I lurk on other threads but have never thought to nose in the ante natal threads :)

amanda love the fact that like me you've reported lying there straight after dtd .... #girlgang #alwayssharing

Well I'm 6dpo today and with my cheapie hpt tests upstairs... and with silly Ovia emailing me telling me I can test ... I'm not gonna lie ... I'm very very tempted. Having had acupuncture last night as usual it sent me off to sleep at 9:30pm #rocknrolllifestyle ... so I've been up since 5am cleaning #sayagainrocknrolllife :)) long gone are the days when I was going robbed at 5am!!! Oh well ... remind me not to complain when I'm up this early with my little bundle of joy :))

Xxx

*meant going to bed at 5am .... not sure why it changed that to robbed ... just to clarify I've never gone robbing at 5am 😂😂

It's all over ladies. Don't even need to test - full on bleeding. Oh well. At least I know now.

So hoping my body clears itself out and I can get back on it for cycle 11.

At least I have learnt that I can still get pregnant which is a crumb of comfort. Opening the prosecco later and going for a massage as need a bit of pampering.

@Magpie I'm so sorry some me time will be good for you. Thinking of you.

@Hippy haha robbing at 5am! Can you come to my house and clean after you've done yours?

@Amanda sounds like Peggy has / will imminently make an appearance!

@young - welcome! I second what @rose said about ic opks, you Def need to do more than 1 a day to make sure you catch your peak.

Happy bank holiday weekend! Hope everyone has nice plans :)

@Archies enjoy Barca! I love love love Barca!

@Anna it only takes one wee doreen so don't be defeated. Also no symptoms is "the symptom" for some people so it isn't a sign you're out either! Stay positive and I have my fx for you!

MissMagpie I'm so very sorry Hun 😔😔😔 what bitter disappointment. Take comfort in that you can fall like you said. And fx them Doreen's will meet your egg again soon. Utter utter shit. 💐

Havibg a gathering today for coffe & cake morning so that's my PMA for today.

Xxx

Thank you Rose. I will make sure I do that! X

Thanks Moo! At the airport now but suffering majorly with separation anxiety from DS 🙈 I'll be fine once I'm there, and he was happily waving us off this morning but I just hate being away from him so much.

Magpie I am so, so sorry. Sending so much love your way 💕

Lol @Archies he's probably forgotten about you already and having a great time with whoever is looking after him- he'll have them round his little finger and have a long weekend of being spoilt no doubt! This might be your last as I imagine it will be a bit different when there are 2 dc in the mix! ;) xo

magpie I have no words and I'm sure us telling you that we're so so so sorry is of absolutely very little comfort. But in true Pma style I wholeheartedly support the pampering and the fact that you can take some comfort in knowing that your body can do this, this just wasn't THE month, but it is one month closer xxxx big big big hugs xxxxx

Moo yep you're right! He's with my mom for the weekend and so excited. But I doubt she'll be as thrilled at the idea of me dropping off a toddler and a baby with her so I can go swanning off for the weekend

Morning moo I feel it is a little too far to come help you clean .... sorry Hun 😂

archies enjoy your weekend as like moo says - you won't be able to when you've got a wee baby 👶 xxxxx

sorry missmagpie, but your right it does give hope for the future. When people say to not test too early I always think I'd rather know, especially when your in the position of TTC for a longer period as at least you finally know you can get pregnant. Hope you enjoy your massage and keeping everything crossed for your next cycle x

I agree with rose and think I would rather know too and although I recognise it's an utterly shit thing to happen, I would take some comfort in knowing my body was able to get pg especially as I'm ttc #1. It has left me wondering whether waiting so long to test is not such a good idea.
I hope your massage and relaxing day helped magpie and i hope your dh is spoiling you rotten.

The thread has been very quiet so i am assuming you're all having a nice bank holiday wk end.

I am now 7dpo and although I have been keeping myself busy - seeing family, time is very much on go slow and I'm very tempted to take a frer ... maybe not today as I've already got rid of fmu 🤣
I've been hopping on other threads to see when most people test and it's very much looking like 10 dpo at at the very earliest. As I'm ttc #1 it's hard to ascertain whether I feel pg, in terms of symptoms I keep feeling mildly crampy down below on and off which is new to me as I only usually get crampy when she who won't named arrives. I'm also a little mardy but I think that's because I do the most of the house related stuff and dp works too much at wk ends. I've usually got tender boobs by now but at the moment these seem fine ... keeping grabbing and squeezing them to check and lastly I think I'm getting a little cm here and there but I'm not sure 🤔 if this is wishful thinking based on the fact that moo and bella had this before their bfps but I seem to recall you guys describing it as a big gloop and mine isn't a big gloop, well not yet anyway! #surelyallthegirlgangshouldhavethesamesymptoms

@Hippy fx! I think i only thought about my cm after I got my bfp so it wasn't overly obvious to me but definitely more than I would normally have had! Moodiness and cramps etc also really good signs ... everything crossed for you!!!!
Ps yes I would hold off until 10 dpo. Pee into a pot (I think you do anyway) and do an ic first!

I only tested the day before my period was due because I really felt that I was pregnant. It was all in the boobs. They felt fuller and I had a weird feeling inside. They were a bit sore but not majorly. I had had some creamy CM in a big blob but I have had that on other non pg cycles so not sure about that. Also had some cramps but again, I have been having that normally too.

You know I am a bit of a POAS phone but as I don't usually spot, I think this cycle has been the only one I have been pregnant on. Definitely have had worse than normal cramps too. So even if I hadn't tested, I would have known.

Not sure I will test early next time or wait until AF is due.... Hmm. Just hope my cycle returns to normal. Think I am running a couple of days behind at least.

*phobe

9DPO for me today but no symptoms to report. Mild back ache which indicates AF is prob on her way in a few days going by others months.

Does anyone's DP or DH take a supplement? My DH just take men's multi vitamin just for general health & seeing as we fell pregnant so quickly before we figured there isn't an issue there for him.

But seeing as I'm getting a bit impatient I've ordered him Fertil aid (male fertility supplement) which seems to have good reviews in improving count & motility etc.
He could all be fine but figured even if it is still fine can't help to have a boost to make the healthiest sperm can it. The more Doreen's the better!

Thank you for the feedback moo - I know deep down everyone of us is different but when you've never been pg before you can't help but wonder what it feels like if that makes sense.
magpie you're obvs very much in tune with your body which is good. Thank you for your feedback too I really appreciate it.
anna my dp takes a Nutri advanced multi supplement and zinc but he doesn't realise why lol I also give him a fish oil capsule every day to keep him healthy as we don't eat much fish .... don't think breaded cod scores too highly. I hear you on the impatient thing too

Xxx

moo I will hold out till at least 10dpo ... I'm not sure about trusting those ic's but I guess as they're so cheap it would be rude not to try them 🤔 🤣
Xxx

Morning from Barcelona ladies! So I was in 2 minds whether to drink or not on this break as I'm in the 2ww, but we ended up meeting up with my friend who is working out here and she took us to a cocktail bar and I can't remember the rest of the night 🙈 #oops

I did the same when I was pregnant with DS. Got hammered on tequila one Friday night then found out I was pregnant 5 days later 🙈

Hippy I had cramps when I was pg with DS. As we weren't ttc I have no idea what other symptoms I had, but I remember having cramps in the week before AF which I never used to get so that's what made me do a pg test. So FX this is a good sign! And with regards to CM, I've googled it loads and I don't think you can use it as a indication of whether you are pg or not (unless your CM is always the same in 2ww and it suddenly changes). Some months I've had none, others I've had lots of watery CM and sometimes I've had creamy CM and obviously haven't been pg on any of those cycles

Morning ladies,

Your night sounds fab archies - hopefully this will be your BFP month, it would be typical after 'misbehaving' Fx! Hope the sun is shining!

anna - my DH ate a brazil nut a day, the month before we got our BFP! Sounds ridiculous but apparently they have selenium in them to boost male fertility! He's not really into taking vitamins so that was the best I could do lol! Are you going to test in the next coming days?

hippy - I had an increase in CM too, but again didn't really pay too much attention to it cos I didn't know what symptoms were important or not, given I had never been pregnant before. The biggest sign for me was the lack of spotting. I spotted several days before proper AF came and it was starting to stress me out but my BFP cycle, I had maybe an hour of spotting and that was it. Prob IB? God knows....
7 days is prob a bit soon, don't want you to get bummed out with a BFN just cos it's too early! Hold out another couple days! I remember that dragging feeling, oh so well!

How are you doing magpie? Have you anything planned this weekend to take your mind off everything?

My DH loves Brazil nuts! I shall deff get him some and add in these new vitamins we've bought for him! I can't keep setting myself targets to be pregnant by as I've passed them all 🙈 But idekely to be pregnant again at least by the time was I was last year would be nice! Which means falling before August...🙏🙏

Anna my oh and I took the his n hers conception vits from tesco - only started taking them the cycle we got our bfp. He's carried on taking them every other day as his diet isn't great fruit / veg wise so every little helps!

@Archies sounds like a fab night! I had a friend who had a night like that and then found out a few days later she was pg. Her dc is not in p2 and is excelling at school so don't worry about long term effects! Also hopefully the last blow out you'll have for 9months plus!
