PMA Express to BFP Thread #5

961 replies

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.

magpie thank you, I've got more pineapple today, fortunately their tasting pretty good at the moment, even the core.

anna nail on the head Hun, everyone is on a different path and more often than not to the same destination (house, marriage, kids)... some people will take the short cut and others will take the long way round .... I guess all we can do is enjoy the view along the way :)))

amanda one of my friends is 42, skipped a few pills and is now pregnant .... it goes to show really that although we can help the situation ultimately it is down to the universe and the trusting the timings of our life ....

Sorry I have to keep repeating the trusting the timings thing as it really does help keep me grounded at 11 dpo 😝

Fmu wasted again / didn't test

Xxx

Thanks moo I'm not sure whether it's perseverance or fear to be honest ... I'm cd27 today so this is the earliest bfp due date but my cycle is between 26-30 days so the next few days are a #mindfuck ...
I cant really test in front of dp so I'll do it Saturday morning as he's at work.
Eeeeeeeek #excitedvsnervous

PMA went awol as my grandad died suddenly, and friend announced she was pregnant the day before the anniversary of my ectopic and is due the same time I would have been, and it was an accident!

But back now, think I might ovulate today, so hopefully I've done what I can!

Seems I missed a bfp too? Congrats Soph!

flash Flowers so sorry to hear about your grandad and the baby bomb ... ouch .... not great timing from your friend there.
But yaaaaaay for ovulating ... keep dtd for a day or two ... you never know Peggy's exact arrival time ... i used cb dual opks this cycle and got my peak on Saturday 22 April but I also did a boots opk on the Sunday and the line was near as damn it positive ... xxx

Flashinthepan · 04/05/2017 11:01

Thanks Hippy and good tip. At the moment I keep wondering if I'm having enough sex before O, but hadn't considered that perhaps I was giving up too early, which could well be the case!

Hippychic79 · 04/05/2017 11:26

flash I think the two days leading up to and the day of ovulation is the best time according to clear blue :)) and as ovulation can happen between 12-36 hours post positive opk ... I think getting one dtd sesh in for luck is optimum xxx

Flash sorry to hear about your grandad and the baby bomb Flowers but FX you'll nail it this month Smile

ArchiesMamaBird · 04/05/2017 13:21

Oh and I've just spent the last hour jumping around a trampolining park with DS. Let's just say that I'm massively regretting not keeping up with my pelvic floor exercises after having DS Grin #pissedmyselfabout8times

CakesALot · 04/05/2017 13:24

Been there @ArchiesMamaBird 🙈

So sorry to hear about your grandad @Flashinthepan 💐 glad you're back with the PMA and on a dtd mission!

Moo31 · 04/05/2017 13:58

So sorry to hear about your granddad @Flash Flowers

The sun is out in Northern Ireland too (although the sun always shines in our wee country!)

Hope everyone is well, almost the weekend! :)

Hippy - breathe, relax, you've done all you can, FX

AmandaP86x · 04/05/2017 17:38

Aw sorry about ur grandad flash 💘

I am bloated today defo think I have AF symptoms 😭

Just back from a work afternoon lunch and everyone had their babies with them so cute ha ha so got lots of cuddles.

Just going to chill and have a cuppa and maybe go a wee run clear my head xxx

Sophsta · 04/05/2017 21:42

Sorry about your grandad flash.

I still can't believe I'm pregnant and my DH keeps asking if it has sunk in yet. Definitely not! I also still have zero symptoms however I have a massive cold so they may well be hiding behind that.

Good luck holding out until Saturday hippychick! I have everything crossed for you!

Sophsta · 04/05/2017 21:43

There were supposed to be flowers after that flash! Flowers

I lost my gran fairly recently and it's really hard. Even when you're expecting it.

MissMagpie · 04/05/2017 22:26

Sorry for you loss Flash. Hope you are ok.

I'm ok thanks Hippy. Trying not to focus on what might have been and forget that this time last week I was pregnant...briefly.

Hoping I am gearing up for fertile week and I can get a sticky bean this time.

BellaMoon · 05/05/2017 06:45

sorry not properly catching up right now but had to share this... how elaborate??

TFI friday ladies... will have a proper read tonight 😘😘😘

Itsjustaphase84 · 05/05/2017 07:10

Sophsta looks like I've missed your bfp! Congratulations. How are you feeling. Did u do anything different this cycle.

flash really sorry to hear that about your grandad and the bb. I had to comfort a colleague who had a m/c recently. She is struggling to handle that her close friend is pregnant. I don't know how Im going to tell her I'm pregnant as she sees me at work every day Sad but I'll understand her reaction and I'll be there for her.

Hippy I'm very excited for you. Fx

I have random nausea at various times of the day. Got my booking in apt on 22/05 when I'll be 9 weeks. I'm 6+4 now. This trimester drags.
Had a head cold recently and I'm so shattered.

Onto cycle #7!
