P to the M to the A! Thread #6, here we go!

[ArchiesMamaBird]

So in the absence of our lovely founder Hippy, I've set up thread #6 to help us keep up the motivation and PMA.

Congratulations to all our grads, the rest of us may be slacking behind but we'll be there soon!

patient awww I'm glad yesterday wasn't as bad as you anticipated. Bloody hormones... af is bad enough when you're ttc but the fact that she is so upsetting in her wake doesn't help matters. Hope the next cycle brings your BFP chic

Archies damn af! Sorry to hear she showed up for you too. One month closer chic - bring on the next cycle and some more bfp's.

Cakes No pressure :)

Glad it wasn't as bad as anticipated @patient, hope you've had a good day today. xxx

Sorry to hear af arrived for you @chips @archies - relax and enjoy some wine! :)

Fingers crossed for you @cakes

Ah no! So sorry @ArchiesMamaBird. Feeling the pressure now, I'm so out of sync with you all 😬 I've still got a week to go!!

YAY @cakes we are cycle buddies again

Thanks Girls tbh I'm feeling ok, I was pretty sure we missed it this month due to lack of DTD, and I also OV on my left side which is where my (potential) blocked tube is.

So it will be all systems go this month when I OV on my right side

Lol no pressure Cakes & Loa, but I have got everything crossed for you both

Yay @loababy! Nice to have some company! I've got a very busy week planned, best thing for a tww.

Glad you're feeling ok @ArchiesMamaBird. Next one will be the one!

Fingers crossed for you cakes and loa
Sometimes the days leading up to a day you are dreading, are worse than the day itself, glad to hear it wasn't too bad patient. Be kind to yourself over the next few days especially.
Af only arrived in full swing this morning, last two days were spotting. It's arrived fourteen days after symptoms of ovulation so everything seems to be doing as it should.
Had a bit of a cry first thing, but Feeling positive again now.

Chips glad you're feeling better now. I was the same yesterday, super emotional even though I knew all along we were out that cycle. But feeling much more positive again today

Come on ladies, we can do this! 💕

Sorry about af @chips but good to hear everything is doing as it should and glad to hear you're feeling good again.

Glad you're back feeling positive too @archies

xx

I'm feeling very pre-menstrual and feeling sorry for myself this evening. My last cycle was 26 days so I could be due any time between Saturday and Monday if that's the case. I'm not sure I'm going to bring that much needed BFP ladies! @loababy eyes are on you! Xx

Awwwww cakes I'm sorry to hear this ... I had that feeling last cycle too and the same situation... previous cycle was 26 days... ended up being late as well which was a bitch as I started to get my hopes up!!!! Big hugs 🤗 xxxx

Sorry to hear that Cakes, although you never know what might happen. Sending lots of hugs your way 💕 xx

Thanks lovelies 😘 xx

Af arrived today for me but totally fine about it xx

Ah sugar, sorry @loababy. Glad you're cool with it though! I usually am but I feel a bit more fragile this month for some reason 😕 I'll be back on form in a day or too...after a gun or 2 or 5 ssshh

I just read that back! Gin, I meant gin!! 😂🍸

step away from the gun @cakes hahaha!

Well that escalated quickly Cakes! 😬 but yes yes to Gin!

Loa so sorry she arrives for you too, but it's fab that you're nice and chilled about it xx

Sorry to hear af arrived for you loa but like the others have said - good on ya for keeping up the Pma. One month closer ... always xxx

cakes glad you meant gin 😂 lol

Hi archies

Well I'm just about to enter fw but dp is knackered -as freaking usual- and has taken extra shifts on crucial baby making days .... so I'm declaring myself out already .... just gonna count this as a 'break' cycle ....helps me to feel better about how god damn long this ttc lark is taking 🤣. Why did I ever bother with the bloody pill!!!???

Happy Saturday night ladies xxx

as freaking usual

Hippy I hear ya! I've even said to DH after we've had our next baby, I'm not gonna bother going back on the pill (his face was a picture 😬). Sometimes it's nice to have a super relaxed month with no expectations, if nothing else it will be lovely to not have to count down the days and symptom spot everything throughout the tww xx

That's funny archies ... I'm not ever using contraception again either ... I want two children anyway 🙄
Well I've got some cheap opks this month so I'm tracking anyway and hoping to time the tackle ... I'm cd12 today and got a negative this morning so df's (dear fiancé sounds slightly better than dp) is off the hook tonight 🤣 ... I'm hoping to catch him Thursday night and think this will be good timing but he will have done two night shifts by then so not feeling super hopeful ... I don't really symptom spot anyway but thanks for shedding some positivity... your right - sometimes knowing your out before you try does help you to relax even if it does annoy me ... wasting yet another bloody cycle!!!
Come on universe- give someone on here a Bfp this cycle
Xxx

Hi all, hope everyone is doing fine! First week after holiday was super busy so I am behind again. Loa, sorry about af but hats off for your laidback attitude! I'm sure it will pay off in the end being relaxed. Cakes hope you are ok, sorry to hear you felt it more this month. And Archies hope af has left the building and that you are gearing up to FW again with your tip top ovary!

Hippy sorry to hear your DF is planning his shifts to coincide with FW. Ah, it must be frustrating for you. Hope it works out on Thursday! With my ic opks I usually get the strongest positive in the afternoon. But the ones I have are not particularly sensitive, so morning might work fine if yours are.

After my previous never-ending cycle, I am now on femara for this one. Cd 11 today, so done with the pills (took them from cd5-9). I have a scan tomorrow and am curious to see if the medicine has worked. The pills are supposed to mature the eggs earlier, and hopefully ovulation will be sometime this week. We shall see. At this point I can't imagine actually falling pregnant again, but it may still happen I guess. Fx for all of us!

patient thanks for the feedback on the ics - I have been using fmu and yesterday and today have got two faint lines which is negative ... from previous experience I usually ovulate between cd14-16 and I'm 13 today ...but as they are so cheap I will test again later ... I just got them off amazon - I'll post a pic in a bit.
good luck with this cycle chic - you have to keep the faith .... that's the most important thing we all have to do on here ... it will happen for all of us very soon ... this thread was set up to take us all to Bfp ... I'm just sorry that some of us are taking a more shitty scenic route ... but on the plus side (Pma) we are all learning patience... which is something I've never had a great deal of and something I'm told is very important when you have a little baby :)) xxx

The top one is yesterday and the bottom one is this morning ... these are negative I think xxx
