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.

add pissing like a racehorse to the list of symptoms!! #neveroffthebogg

Yea Rose I'm unsure whether I'll be able to keep that up to be honest. Will just have to see how things roll. When I go to bed I'm one of those people that sleeps straight away so can be a little reluctant...

@Soph go for it! You can do it! We're all rooting for you! The cycle we conceived we kinda did smep - I don't think we'd ever dtd as much in 6 yrs of being together!!

Re conceive plus I put it on at the start and added a bit more during. It's quite watery and slippy lol

Yes bella to the orgasm thing! Oh read somewhere I needed to come at least twice before he did so we did that too!

Bella hope your dh enjoyed his champers! Let him have his moment of glory that his wee doreens did the bizz haha!

Hello all, haven't posted for a while here but have been popping in and out. How is everyone doing? Hope this weekend brings relaxation and joy.

I'm CD 24 with very very sore boobs.....we have appointment in two weeks in fertility clinic and how I am praying that I will have to ring up and cancel it. Feel terrified of going to it (bad experiences previously in hospital). I have a BMI of about 31 and I'm worried they are just going to blame that. Previously BMI was 37 but have worked really hard to get it down ..... trying to keep the old PMA!!!!

morning all 😎

@Blondienut i'm a big girl, don't know my BMI but i'm 5'8" and a size 18 (albeit active and healthy). i lost a couple of stone last year for my wedding. genuinely feel that whenever is go to the docs about something, they'd bring up my weight. probably rightly so in some cases but for a sore throat, surely that's not weight related. anyway, i have been a lot heavier and i'm on my way down the scales so i'd say as long as you can say you're actively doing something about it, they should recognise that.

ok the flip side to this, i have a friend who was 3-4 stones overweight and struggled to conceive. the doc told her to lose weight to improve her cycles. she did it, within a year,
dropped to a healthy 9.5stone for her frame, walks 4-5 miles a day, eats healthily etc. she went back and they discovered issues with her ovaries that had nothing to do with her weight at all. so please ask them to do tests regardless of your weight (which you can still work on if you're motivated to do it) but my friend is now over a year later (she's approaching 37yo) and feels that's a year wasted for baby making. hope this helps xx

@Moo31 we went to our local pub for a bite to eat last night and when we got back we both crashed out on the sofa, needless to say the champs is still chilling!

yeah i know that obviously the orgasm isn't necessary but i believe it helped but then, i threw everything at conception this cycle, literally anything that anybody mentioned in this thread i think i did it hahaha. and who could refuse an excuse to make sure you orgasm....? hehe.

well i had 10hours solid sleep last night and boy do i feel better for it. think i was walking around in a trance yesterday!

tried to get creative with my pics this morn, David Bailey doesn't have a look in eh? #creativebella #dontgiveupyourdayjob #payingbellacommission #myminiegg

Spotting last night and boobs have stopped hurting so I think.im out.

Sorry to hear that flash keep up that PMA, you might be lucky!

I'm trying to lose weight at the moment as I've put on a stone since I got married last year and would quite like to get it gone - however I really REALLY love food. The struggle is real.

Morning ladies!
Thanks for all your tips & advice!
I've told a white lie to the bride to be and said I've had a viral infection all week so still feeling a bit spewy and that I don't wanna risk passing anything on so gonna avoid the close contact of a hot tub! I'm also putting non alcoholic wine into a normal wine bottle in the hope that I can start off drinking that and as people get more drink, they'll not notice?? Phew....

Loving the pics bella - it's a super exciting time for you just now!

Hi hippy - hope you're keeping the PMA alive for this next cycle - keeping everything crossed for you!

flash - try and keep positive! You're not out til she's fully here!

DH turned round to me this morning and said 'jesus, your boobs are huge' ..... now, as a lady who has NOT been blessed with any sort of cleavage normally, I'm LOVING this part of pregnancy!
FYI, DH is so deprived of boobs normally that my 'huge' boobs are in fact, only spilling over my B cup bra, so don't worry ladies who are on the larger side, you prob won't notice a difference.... #Bstings

Great plan dolly hope u have a fab weekend.

Loving the pics @bella I'm so excited for u honestly!!!

Will defo try the preseed one 👀

Happy Saturday everyone!! Xo

@Dollydaydream2829 when I was pg my DH asked me if my boobs would stay like that after baby
Bahahaha... I wish... I went from b cup to D and up 2 band sizes

Cd 27 and 15 dpo here. I'm expecting a shorter cycle than last month's 32 days but not even entertaining a pg test until day 33. Loaf's of boobs pain and twinges and I'm run down but who knows? Having a drink tonight anyway. Happy Easter all x

Good luck @Itsjustaphase84! I'm holding off testing until at least Monday but feeling very moody and crampy today so not feeling hopefully. Also tucking into the gun this evening anyway!

Evening girls! Iv bloody lost my voice 😞 Nightmare. Hate a Saturday shift in my work we do all the social terminations I find it so hard these days. Anyway Day done. DP out for the night going to have a takeaway and watch BGT!! Rock and roll x

Fx for you @phase

I hope that's gin you're tucking into @cakes!

@Amanda if that means what I think it means that sounds like a very tough day for you. Hugs xo

Morning ladies :))
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
I keep popping onto to see if we've got any more lovely bfps .... I've got a good feeling we may see some more soon.
I'm cd9 today so gearing up for fw ... started opks yesterday .... just getting a faint line on the boots ones ... I've decided to use the boots brand until I get close to peak and then I'll confirm with the cd dual.
Big hugs
Happy Easter
Love hippy xxx

morning @Hippychic79 remember, i did that cycle 2 and missed peggy cos the cb duel opks like to track the surge, so if you get your surge with IC, but then switch, the CB dual on starts registering at peak do doesn't catch the surge. just from my experience, that didn't work. i chased that bloody peggy around the whole month! the CB duals are so expensive i would want you to have the same EGGstremely (wee easter pun there) frustrating thing happen to you. xxx

sorry for the spelling errors there, my eyes are so blurry this morn. first time wearing eye makeup yday since surgery and i think i rubbed too hard to take it off last night!

i sailed through my "i'm on antibiotics" story at the wedding last night #highfiveme

well today is officially AF due date. i am like a twitchy paranoid wreck checking my knickers every 5 mins as i have honestly never felt so periody in my life. lower back cramps, lower abdo cramps, v v tender boobs. bloated and v v moody.

feel like our preggo bubble is about to burst at any given moment #paranoidwreck #pregnantsymptoms #AFsymptoms

good luck to all FW'ers and BFP'ers - iv lost track of the list so i'll need to go back and check it (i'm a shit list maker, i admit!).

Happy Easter @hippy catch that egg! :)

@Bella - those are all pg symptoms but I know the feeling! I calmed down around 8 weeks I think. Now I have to think what day I am whereas before I was obsessed and could have told you without hesitation!

Oh I got my date for my booking app and 12 week scan yesterday - 26th April. Excited and nervous at the same time!

Oh @BellaMoon those first few weeks are such a nerve wracking time. Just take it easy and be kind to yourself,stress never helped anyone! It's eat chocolate for every meal day so tuck in!! I'm sure you'll be just fine, like we've said before, all pg symptoms are the same as af symptoms anyway, cruel twist that it is

Haha! Yes, it was gin! Surely my autocorrect should know that?!!

So I went to bed at 1am and there was no chance I was going to do any baby making. SMEP out the window!

Happy Easter ladies! 🐰🐣🐇

Happy Easter everyone! Easter brings new life and I hope this is true for everyone here x #easterblessings

i'm trying desperately not to stress honest i am, i know it's not helpful.

i keep tapping myself on my temple and saying "mind body soul". makes me sound like a loon i get that BUT when i think back to my last cycle, the one where i welcomed AF with open arms, treated her kindly, said nice things about her and kept my PMA on high alert while she was here, she certainly treated me well after my review on twatadviser and rewarded me with my very first ever BFP. so my mind and soul just need to catch up with my body to believe i am pregnant. #taptap #mindbodysoul

@Moo31 thanks, i'm sure it'll sink in at some point. it's hard not to think every little twinge is AF tho. #threeweeksfivedays lol

@CakesALot is chocolate syn free on slimming world when upduffed hahaha #belter

Sure is @BellaMoon, gets upgraded to extra speedy!!
