Mid-August Testers

[CHDickey]

I'm trying pma. If I think myself pregnant, then I will be pregnant!!

Every other month I have been pretty much negative and managing my expectations. 1st month I had loads of symptoms and found it very challenging. The second I was 100% sure I wasn't pg, so didn't get stressed. Last month more optimistic but not stressed because I was happy if TTC took a few more months. This month I've finally put my hands up and admitted to myself I really want to be pg now, rather than just in the future! Totally settling myself up for a fall, but hey there is a chance, right?

Nothing is wrong with having faith!!! I couldn't agree more!

Morning Ladies,

How is everyone today? So one more day has passed and now I am half way through my TWW dpo 7 woo hoo. I have a hectic weekend so at least that will help with passing the time.

CH - I have been before but not for about 3 years (the last 3 years we have had to go to Australia for weddings and to see family (oh its a hard life lol). I love my USA trips though, especially California and Vegas.

Notnic – I am totally with you on the PMA. Although this month I have convinced myself I am pregnant so it will be pretty gutting if I’m not!

I know that I am going to find it really hard if it's a no. The hardest thing for me about this whole process is around 8dpo- 10dpo. It's the not knowing which is so difficult, and spotting makes it even worse. I don't know if I am experiencing implantation bleeding or just bog standard spotting! Most the time I am pretty certain that I am out, but the spotting alwasys makes me question myself!

I'm with ya girls on the PMA. I totally feel so confident this cycle for some reason. Like I feel really good about it. Not sure what makes it different than last but it just feel down right positive! (And I am soooo not a positive person - I think the worst in every situation!)

FF gave me cross hairs today. 3 dpo!

Okay ladies, confused....what's PMA stand for?

funny, i just started the PMA last night! i've always been a debbie downer, and i'm tired of it. we've done everything we can this cycle, so i think this is it. after 2 years, it's about time!

i'll be testing as soon as my ics come in...anytime from the 10-15th (10-15 dpo)

Hi All,

How is everyone hope your all having a nice weekend. So 8dpo for me today and I think I will test tom on a FRER . Anyone else testing soon?

Loving all the PMA on this thread yay go mid August testers.

 

[CHDickey]

I am only 6 dpo. So I will be waiting a little longer. Probably won't test until the earliest next Wednesday. I have been feeling pretty normal though! Trying not to think about it and stay positive, but then again not thinking about it can be really hard!!

 

[Jazavac]

5 DPO here, so I won't be testing soon either. I keep trying to avoid thinking about any and all symptomps. Sometimes I notice them all over the place, sometimes none at all.

Boring evening. Was really wanting some wine, but I am gonna pass just incase. I know they say one isn't bad, but really wanting like 3...

lol Same here CHDickey, had a bunch of friends over for H bday and I only had a few sips of Sangria and then felt bad and stopped...just incase! Mind you I'm in the same boat...don't really feel PG although sometimes they say you don't at all....FX crossed...I'm only 5 DPO as well...gonna hold out till next weekend and pray AF doesn't show - God this cycle wait is LONG

 

[MrsBea23]

How is everyone doing today?

Jaza I seem to have loads of symptoms but I am sure they are just AF on the way. I actually tested today with a frer (meant to be able to use 5 days before AF) and got a BFN so I think I am out this month.

Ha Ha CH it is hard isn't it.

I was out Friday night and last night and everyone was drinking and I couldn't booo.

On Friday night DH had a few pints rather quickly and was quite boozed. I found he was really annoying (he is very excitable which I love but when he drinks he gets super excitable!!!!) I don't know how I am going to cope for 9 months and then however long it is BF'ing ha ha.

I did tell him he won't be drinking around me when I am pg which he said was fine but we will see, I think I would feel guilty not letting him have a few beers.

I didn't even realise that one was on there! PMA always makes me thing of a great soap powder advert the UK athlete Linford Christie did when I was younger! Ha ha!

I'm holding out testing until next weekend if I can! Got a few more days of pma to put out there first! Good luck for tomorrow Mrs Bea! xx

 

[Srbjbex]

I didn't even take a test this month.....

arrived this morning.

I feel rubbish

 

[MrsBea23]

aww bex sorry to hear that hun, I hope your not feeling to down about it.

Have you got a plan for next month?

 

[Srbjbex]

Thanks mrsbea! I'm feeling down now, but think will be ok tomorrow, and I always feel better when we can get cracking again!

No specific plan as yet, I'll have a think over the next couple of days when waiting for AF to go away!!

Any suggestions?

 

[NewbieLisette]

Hey Ladies,
Same here, feeling AF symptoms already and hoping I'm wrong..gotta hold out till next weekend to test...feeling very very long now! Had a bunch of friend over yesterday for H's bday and everyone was drinking! I took a few sips of Sangria and then felt bad....just incase you know! But H was beyond "a little buzzed"! UUgggg it'll be a long 9months for sure! lol

Sorry to hear Af arrived bex! DISLIKE!!! Same thing happenned to me last cycle..she showed p 3 days early even so I never got the chance to test...maybe for the best...less of a dissapointment that way! Try to stay postive and look forward to next cycle, that's all we can do right! I started drinking Pom green tea this month and really love the taste so that could be something to try? Also I love my pre-seed : )
