Archie's my best friend was her 12th cycle after her wedding has a wee baby boy now actually think they conceived on 1st wedding anniversary lol!!

I am loving your pma aswell.

I am so so tempted just to POAS 🤔

ArchiesMamaBird · 09/05/2017 12:54

Awww that's lovely Amanda 😊 Ugh I hate that, so tempted to POAS but also so scared of that snowy white background. I have everything crossed for you no matter what you decide on 😊

AmandaP86x · 09/05/2017 15:09

Iv drank so much water today it wouldn't count I don't think and I don't know if it can bare the Snow White background 😂😂😂 wow these r tough times x

Hippychic79 · 09/05/2017 15:53

Fair play for holding out amanda just dropped on to see if you'd caved and tested but fair play to you xxx

Ha ha wellllll I just for a BFN !!' 😩 Very diluted pee right enough and not massively sure how many days dpo I am - dunno who I'm trying to convince here! 😂

Sophsta · 09/05/2017 17:42

Don't give up! I didn't get my BFP at 11 dpo and only noticed a tiny faint mark on 13dpo when I went back to it 4 days later! You're not out until you're out.

AmandaP86x · 09/05/2017 17:55

Yeh ur right luv. I kinda expected it due to
Not knowing when to test or when I ovulated. I think I need to at least wait until AF is overdue x

Hippychic79 · 09/05/2017 20:28

Like soph says amanda ... you're not out till your out chic ... still rooting for ya xxx

Roseandbee · 09/05/2017 20:31

Amanda I think with your water drinking and not using fmu, your making it more likely for a bfn result, especially for an early test. Fx

Ovia is telling me to test tomorrow:-/ which will be 13dpo. I'm really tempted to just wait to see what happens on Friday when aunt flo usually visits, im hoping I can slam the door in her face and tell her I'll see her in 9 months!
Oh and congrats sophsta on your bfp!, don't think i was around to congratulate you.

ArchiesMamaBird · 09/05/2017 22:09

Amanda I am sure that you will be getting your BFP this cycle, I honestly think you've tested too early and with diluted wee. Keep the faith 😊

Had another baby bomb tonight, but it's one that I predicted a month ago. It's so weird, since we've been trying, I've predicted 6 pregnancies now, DH thinks I'm psychic!!

Aaaaaaand did anyone watch OBEM? Crying my eyes out! But I've noticed that they've featured so many stories this series of couples that have been trying for a while. So I think that should give us all lots of hope 💕

AmandaP86x · 09/05/2017 22:24

Yeh I think the diluted wee won't be helping!

Ovia tells me I can test tomorrow but no tests in the house so FMU wasted.

Then Spain on Thursday & AF due Sunday. I it sad in wishing my life away 😭

Roseandbee · 09/05/2017 22:39

Well enjoy Spain Amanda, I have about 50 tests, I'd drop one off if I could.

Archie's not watched the new one yet, will def watch it though. I've been watching all the episodes on 4od. The Liverpool hospital on it is actually one I could use as not too far

sarahboro1 · 09/05/2017 22:59

I watched it and noticed that too!! Felt rather encouraged by it. Also how cute was the little family where she had been a musician on the ships??!! They were just so lovely I felt so happy for them. Xx

ArchiesMamaBird · 09/05/2017 23:18

Sarah those were the ones who made me cry! They were so, so lovely and had been through such a hard time ttc. I just want everyone to get upduffed so we can all have that amazing feeling 🙊

Hippychic79 · 10/05/2017 07:53

Morning ladies :))
archies I think we'd all pay you if you could predict our pregnancies :))
amanada and rose fingers firmly crossed for you guys

AmandaP86x · 10/05/2017 10:57

Thanks hippy nothing to report here!! Wasted my fmu but keep feeling crampy 😭

Moo31 · 10/05/2017 12:46

Ladies so sorry I have been awol! I spent the weekend confined to the bathroom - thankfully it was because I was painting it!! It took 4 coats - 3 hours per coat. Thinking we should have just paid someone to do it but ah well its done now (and it looks fab!) Then I have had a few busy evenings and I am knackered come 9pm lol. So I am so so sorry and I hope you will all forgive me and that I haven't been kicked out of the #girlgang! :D

I have caught up and I am so sorry to see a few have had a dip in pma - to be expected and totally understandable but hoping by the time you ladies get to fw your pma will be soaring again.

@Hippy - a few months 'off' / relaxed cycles might be just the ticket! :) Hope you and oh have made up xo

@Amanda - test fear is real. Don't test with anything but FMU as you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. When is the witch due to appear? If you can I would hold off and test with fmu that day to give yourself the best chance.

To those either on holiday / going on holiday in the next few weeks - you lucky ducks!! I hope you all have lovely relaxing holidays!! xo

My three things:

  1. I am going away with work tomorrow overnight which means I get to eat at my fav thai restaurant (when I saw 'at' I actually mean get a takeaway and take it back to the hotel and eat it in my jammies while watching trashy tv!)
  2. As above - our new bathroom which has probably been a year in the making lol - is finally finished! Onto the kitchen next ...
  3. I have told all my nearest and dearest and not-so near and dear my news. Everyone was delighted (including work - phew). Starting to feel very real.

My stats (although don't bother updating the list for me):

  • BFP 3/3 (Cycle 6 or 7)
  • EDD 10/11 (@Dolly I love how yours is 11/11 - OH is hoping for 12/11 as 23 is his lucky number)
  • Currently 13+5/40

Thank you all for letting us grads stay - appreciate it must be hard hearing updates from us but I have every faith you ladies will join us soon on the grad list and we can move this thread into the antenatal thread!! xo

sarahboro1 · 10/05/2017 13:38

Good to have you back moo!!! And to hear you and baby moo are doing well!! ☺️ Xx

Hippy it is interesting, I think it's good for me to watch so I can see what really happens!! 😳 Although I was watching last night thinking erm I might change my mind about this, it looks rather painful!! 😂

Not much to report here, in my fw and feeling like a dog on heat again!! 🙈 I think dh is begging for fw to be over!! 😂

sarahboro1 · 10/05/2017 13:39

Saw this and thought this might help pma at the moment!! ☺️ Xx

ArchiesMamaBird · 10/05/2017 14:02

Moo We love having our grads here and can't wait to join you! It's so lovely hearing your updates and news and makes me so excited for what's to come. (and by that I mean what's to come this cycle because I've decided that this will be lucky cycle #11 and I'm going to get upduffed in the next few weeks) Grin

Sarah Love that PMA photo Smile

AmandaP86x · 10/05/2017 14:09

Aw hi @moo nice to hear your doing well.

It's due on Saturday. I go to Marbella in the morning so I am back Monday so if she doesn't appear this weekend I'll test when I'm back!!! So annoying she's due when I'm away 😭😭😭😭😭 will be taking it easy with the alcohol. If she appears on sat I'm gonna down a jug of sangria in a oney!!!

AmandaP86x · 10/05/2017 14:14

The struggle is real

ArchiesMamaBird · 10/05/2017 15:55

Lol Amanda!! I don't know how you've managed to resist!

Moo31 · 10/05/2017 16:54

@amanda - high five for resisting! I hope you are able to put it to the back of your mind and enjoy your holiday! Baby doesn't feed off you yet so a few vinos won't do any harm at this stage! ;)

@Archies - lucky 11 is the one! Actually since its two 1s it HAS to be the lucky one! Grin
