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.

Thank patient, I don't know when I will test, like Amanda I'm also suffering from test fear.
Usually I'm all up for early testing, I'm 11dpo today due to miss my AF on Friday. I've pinned a lot of hopes on this cycle so can't face seeing a bfn if I test too early. This way I can keep up the PMA

I get the test fear, rose. I feel the same. I also find that to postpone testing may mean a couple of more days being hopeful, and I'll
take that any day over seeing that depressing bfn. Really hope that in your case your are postponing to see a nice and clear bfp very soon!

morning ladies -
thank you for for your well wishes.
Please don't get the wrong idea - my PMA has taken a massive hit this weekend and i am absolutely fed up of this ttc lark to the point where I'm thinking of taking a few months off.
I will be following the thread and making the odd comment I'm sure, but I don't want to drag you ladies down so I'll be quieter than normal.

Completely understand the fear thing Rose - I feel the same when its my time to test. I am keeping everything crossed for you as I've still got AF and DP and I are still on icey terms.

Morning girls well I'm saying morning cause it's my post nightshift morning lol!!!!

@hippy awww no I really hope your PMA improves. I think the first few days of the cycle r the worst seems like ages until FW and then the TWW. Pls stay on the thread u r a ray of sunshine here & I enjoy ur chat. Just remember that your body is working - your having regular cycles & periods so it's honestly just not ur month yet. (I feel like yous can tell me this too when I'm back on CD1) ha ha

Why doesn't everyone give me their stats and I will post a new list and try and get the momentum going again????

Stats and three reasons why you are grateful today.....

Go go go!!!!! This girl gang isn't giving up!!!! 💛💛💛

@rose I'm the same I am sure I ovulated last Friday (couldn't be 100% though) so I would be 10dpo today. App says I can take test in 2 days (eeek) and AF Sunday apprently!!!!

I kind of wrote this month off a little bit as I wasn't well and stuff but now this week is here I feel so scared. It's the horrible disappointment but I always try to find a reason why it's not happened this month and that usually helps 😁

I have no real symptoms apart from this left sided pain still niggling. I remember when I was PG last time and I got a TVS at 5 weeks she said I had a small cyst on my left ovary which was prob niggling but it defo settled down xxx

Aww Hippy I totally understand how you feel. And everyone else who is feeling ttc is getting too much. It definitely gets me in waves - I am up and down with my PMA and sometimes so fed up that I am not pregnant yet. I start to panic it will never happen again.

We are all rooting for you. And here when you need us. But if taking a break helps then do it. You will feel better for it.

Thanks amanda and magpie ... I'm sorry for being a negative nancy .... i know you guys know how I feel but sometimes I just feel so alone. Your right though magpie this is just a wave that's crashed and I will be back because I know I'm gonna be a mum one day soon :)) xxxx

My stats are
Ttc#1
Bfp due 04/06

Three things

1. I have one shift left and a week off!

Amanda thank you for giving us a kick up the bum and getting the positivity back on track!

My stats:

TTC #2
BFP due 2nd June 😊

And my positivity:
1: I'm going out for dinner with my girls on Wednesday
2: I had a day off work today and had a total chill with DS which was lovely
3: AF has nearly vacated the building 😬

Yeah thanks amanda your a wee star :))
I definitely needed a kick up the backside... although cd1-3 is pretty shite !!!

Hope you have an amazing holiday with dp and I truly hope you get your bfp before you go .... please do keep us posted although no pressure to test chic.

archies glad to see your Pma is coming back too ... af is almost leaving here too... thank god :))

Xxx

Thanks Amanda!!!! Ooo it's a while since we've had a list, how exciting!!

Ttc #1
Bfp due 25/5
Cycle 14!! 🍀

Oops forgot my 3 things!!

1. I have a fabulous family who are all so lovely
2. dh is gonna get his Doreen's tested - when he makes the appt!!
3. only 8 weeks til I'm laid on a beach, hopefully with a sticky one in my tummy!!

Thanks for the initiative amanda! Stats are:
Ttc no 3 (2 with current dp)
Bfp due 30.5, approximately

Positives:

1. Had a lovely weekend with friends, enjoying wine and nice food
2. My wonderful gp has referred me to a gynecologist. Appointment is on the same day as bfp is due, so I hope I don't need it obviously. But it's nice to know that I might get some answers.
3. Ds returned home yesterday after having traveled for a couple of months. It was amazing to see him with his baby sister (he will soon be 20!) and I keep reminding myself how very lucky I am to have them both.

Woohoo ladies thanks for the stats!!!

I'll get a wee list up tomorrow when I can use my computer at work and have a higher bigger screen 😂😂

How is the graduates @dolly, @bella & @phase??? Hope your all well.

Well CD28 has passed with no AF so far.

Onto CD29 tomorrow every time I pee I have anxiety!!!! 😂😂😂😂

Knickerwatch Amanda!!! Almost as tough as snowy whites!! Fx for you. Xx

Ha ha I know.

I can't remember when any of the other girls tested.

I'm working tomorrow so I have an abundance of preg tests in work. But I'll
Waste my FMU tomorrow deliberately !!!'

Im TTC 1
bfp due very soon
Cycle lost count!

Amanda i think i'm 11dpo, i'm also down as 2 days to go, but AF not expected till Friday, I usually getting spotting today, and i haven't, which id take as a good sign only the same thing happened last cycle.

Hippy its good to take breaks from ttc or at least thinking about ttc too much. I think a lot of us are finding we sort of drift away and back to the post.

1. ive been able to sit outside in my garden enjoying the sun (hopefully boosting my vitamin D levels)
2. A huge work stress has recently been resolved for my DH, which was causing lots of home stress too and now we are both a lot happier
3. I'm excited about a little craft business venture i've got on the go

Morning ladies :))
patient loving your Pma and I hope your bfp comes before your appointment.
rose and amanda eeeeeeek .... I'm very excited for you both .... hoping you both get your bfps ... a double whammy would be lovely to see.

sarahb I'm on countdown to holiday too ... would be lovely to go with a wee bean inside us :)). Although I'm purposely gonna have another relaxed cycle this month and probably the following month too ... I'm finding it very stressful ttc without dp being fully on board and I need to relax for a bit so I'm fully expecting to be waiting a good few months yet.

Hi ladies,

Sending love, happiness & PMA thoughts from the European sunshine. I'm so sorry about all those that had the tough weekend. I'm sorry that the PMA has taken a knock but it can only be expected when something you want most in the world hasn't happened for another month. Buuuuut who knows?! This could be THE month. Once I'd got Iver the initial sadness & frustration on CD1/2, I actually found it quite enjoyable, the start of the cycle - it's stress free knowing no DTD and not having to wait on anything, I got to enjoy the things I loved guilt free and then I could work out plans on what i could try next....
I really hope you get what you all deserve in the coming cycles. I've come to think of you all as friends and it's horrible when you see one or two of your friends taking a real knock.

Well done amanda on reinstating the PMA and giving us a wee list to look forward to. I enjoy those. I don't know if you're doing a graduate section?

BFP 03/03 (cycle 6)
13/40
EDD 11/11

How strange are my stats?! Same numbers for the day & month when I found out and when I'm due. It's meant to be!!

No probs luv.

CD29 for me. Anxiety though the roof 😭 Drinking loads of water so prevent me testing in here today ha ha!!!

I have a feeling it will come tomorrow I don't know why. Ha ha

I am on knicker watch and boob groping mode haha

Thanks Amanda for the list. I'm on cycle 11, forgot to put that! Bloody cycle 11, when we first started trying after our wedding back in June, I honestly thought I'd have a month old baby now. Oh to go back to those naive days at the beginning of TTC!!

AF has officially left the building! I was kind to her, I treated her to warm baths, chocolate and wine. But we had a stern word when she left, and I told her she's not welcome back for at least another 9 months. I also told her to leave the rest of our #girlgang alone

So this will be THE cycle that I get my BFP
