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.

@BellaMoon for weeks I got loads of period type aches and was worried in early pregnancy. But it's normal, it was as if o could feel my womb stretching but it is normal. Try not to worry and treat yourself. Make the most of you and DH and be a bit selfish Smile

CakesALot · 16/04/2017 17:31

Very true about the mind body and soul as well. You spend so long focusing on getting that amazing BFP that you've no idea what to do with yourself when it does arrive. I remember thinking, oh hell, I'm not ready for this!! But it takes a long time to cook a baby, you do get used to the idea!

BellaMoon · 16/04/2017 21:34

yeah @CakesALot i had a few "oh shit what have i done" moments. Also felt like a wee school girl that had done something wrong when i told my auntie 😂 hoping it sinks in soon!

well you lovely bunch, hope you all continue to enjoy the holiday weekend. i'm working tomorrow #rageballs #nightnight

Roseandbee · 16/04/2017 22:13

Night night Bella, I imagine I'd be having very similar thoughts and feelings when I get my bfp. Sorry you have to work tomorrow, your head must still be all over the place.

Just got back from my mums, I struggle to have anything to talk about since this full on TTC business. It's like that just keeps popping into my head and I go blank about the rest of the things I've done. Has anyone told anyone that's not their other half about TTC?

BellaMoon · 17/04/2017 06:26

Morning all

thought i'd share a wee quote that really helped me focus this cycle.

obviously i know a lot more went on within my body to make a baby than just my mind BUT i truly felt that the one difference this cycle was that my mind jumped aboard the #PMA bus

i thought my mind was going to explode yesterday as that was AF due date and i was in a constant state of stress and worry all day. i now need to get my mind on board that i am pregnant and start relaxing #easiersaidthandone

hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work i go 😩

bella I'm sure it won't take you long to get your mind on board and I am confident you will have a healthy happy pregnancy... we are all here for you and will be joining you very soon.

I'm sure we're due some more bfps today? I'm on tenderhooks here ladies ... keeping everything except my legs firmly crossed ...

Will not be crossing my legs this week as it's fertile week 🤣🤣🤣

@Roseandbee I confide in my best friend about it all but no one else. Does help having her to talk too. She's just pregnant with her 3rd so plenty of experience! Doesn't help when family and friends are constantly saying 'shouldn't you be cracking on with number 2'. So annoying!! None of your chuffing business!!!

Bfn for me this morning ladies. Af due Wednesday and in true PMA style I am feeling positive still. There is time! Not feeling as down hearted as I usually am about a bfn. For some reason I just don't believe it. Will hold out until weds before I test again. If not later. Love the PMA vibes @BellaMoon and I'm determined to keep it up!

cakes to clarify the respect comment was for keeping up the Pma in the face of a bfn which bella did too and it turned out to be a bfp .... I get scared to test and Bfns just get me down ... so respect for keeping up the Pma xxxx

Ps I hope u enjoyed the prosecco since its the last you'll be having for 9 months whoop whoop! Also baby doesn't feed off you for a while so don't worry!!

Dollydaydream2829 · 17/04/2017 14:17

Congratulations phase - amazing news for a Monday!! Amazing news for any day in fact! Whoopee! I don't think I've got over bellas BFP buzz so I'll just continue buzzing for you too!

FX cakes - glad you're keeping that PMA going in spite of the BFN today. Hopefully it's just a bit early!

bella - I was like that when I got my BFP! Saw my predicted AF due date as a target almost - once I'd got past that I felt officially 'preggers' by that point! But the first trimester in particular is a whole bag of worries! From pains, spotting, spewing.... it's so bloody worth it though!

Anyone else due to test soon???

olicat · 17/04/2017 15:15

Congrats phase, the easter bunny brought us a nice couple of bfps! Currently 7dpo and feeling very impatient. Symptom spotting like a loon and definitely making all of them up 😅
