*** Positive Mental Attitude TTC - Anyone joining us? ***

[Bump2Baby]

There is a group for everything else so i thought i would start my own

I had my first child in 2000 and since then have been stuck on a roller coaster i have accepted as my journey, i have gotten to where i am now with a positive mental attitude i have been told is infectious and helps others and that is something that showed me i was meant to walk this path to help others also get through it

I am using fertility help and suppliments but feel it is a PMA that has the biggest effect so this group is for anyone no matter what their story who is using a PMA to help them conceive

As my daughter says -
We need the tadpoles to find the eggie without getting lost,
We need the eggie to snuggle down into a corner nice and comfy,
We need the eggie to then grow into a baby and hold on tight so it doesn't fall out when we wobble,
We need it to eat all the fruit and vegetables mummy eats and sends down to it to grow big and strong,
Then we need to get tummy ache to push it out!

Who else is ready for that journey?​

Count me in here as I am all about the PMA (especially this month).

This is cycle #3 of TTC properly but we've NTNPed for about 6 and half years. We have a nine year old daughter and are finally in a position to add to our family.

We take his&hers conception vits, I use a digi opk and I've just started temping this month to get to know my cycles better.
I'm currently cd2, I O early then have a longer LP.

Good luck to you

Good luck girls, it will happen, its only taken away if YOU give up

I took 4 cycles to conceive last time and am close to ov so expect af in 2 weeks to start cycle 5.

I am repeating what i did last time inc using soy so hope its not too long before i get my bfp and that it sticks this time xxx

 

[lilesMom]

[Bump2Baby]

Hey LM, positivity is infectious, let's get each other through this delayed journey

What cycles everyone on?

Soon as AF is here I'm on C5.

 

[Eternity]

Cycle number 3 for me.
Though we haven't prevented for a good six, six and a half years.

Cycle 1, just lots of BDing and folic acid
Cycle 2, his n hers conception vits, OPKs and SMEP
Cycle 3, same as above, plus charting temps and cm.

What aids are everyone else using?

 

[Bump2Baby]

After tests revealed dp vasectomy couldn't be reversed we started trying with help new year 2012 so 7 months TTC

Cycle 1 - prenatal vitamins, opk, vitex - cl33, ov d19 (anticipation of trying delayed ov)
Cycle 2 - prenatals, cb opk, cbfm, vitex - cl28, ov d14
Cycle 3 - prenatals, cb opk, cbfm, vitex - cl28, ov d13
Cycle 4 - prenatals, cb opk, cbfm, vitex, epo, soy - cl28, ov d14 - BFP

MMC @ 9wks - 2.5wks bleeding, ov d19, expecting af d33.

Cycle 5 - prenatals, cb opk, cbfm, epo, soy, rj - Aug 2012

Apparently vitex and soy counter act each others effects so I'm dropping vitex this time but adding royal jelly to improve egg quality.

 

[Eternity]

Probably a dumb question, but what's cb and cbfm?

 

[Bump2Baby]

CB - clear blue
CBFM - clear blue fertility monitor

Hello

PMA is such a great idea! I'm a bit of a worrier....!

My story - I have PCOS and have been TTC for nearly 3 years. My cycles can range from 40 - 100+ days. I fell pg with #1 after a year, but lost them at 10 weeks. It only took 3 months for me to fall pg with #2, but lost them at 12 weeks.

Has been 18 months since the last loss and not had any luck. Have been approved for clomid, and am seeing the doc on July 26th to get the prescription. Excited but also scared!

Looking forward to having some happy chats with you ladies, hope we can all keep each other's chins up

I just has a psychic reading done.....

Below is your pregnancy outlook:

Linking in around you, I do feel you have a content path, but I pick up on frustrations around not having another pregnancy as yet in your life, I feel this is very important you and I feel is the main focus around you and your path at this time

I link strongly with a lady who comes in around you from the spirit world, and because of this ladies maternal feeling towards you, I sense that this lady would be a Grandmother or mother figure and she wants you to relax and is showing another child ahead, she sends alot of love and also healing to you and your emotions, as I feel youmay have had many dissapointments around your ttc journey along the way

Other areas of your life do show as also content, but I feel they can be slightly over shadowed by your need for another baby, you have alot of love to give and do feel the waiting is now taking its toll on your path

I do see is by August, around the end of the month, 2012 I feel you will have conceived, and I see celebration around you

I pick up on a baby boy born 2013, and I feel all is well around pregnancy itself, labour and birth, and feel he will be quite petite around 6 lbs, also the 27th of a month is showing around him

A lovely path awaits you

So to clarify I see 1 child ahead for you and wish you all the best for the future xxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

won money on the lotto yest on numbers that i got after doin angel cards and fallin asleep, i woke up, wrote um down and went back to sleep
i was gobsmacked so happy, its such a nice boost

went to doc again today , i had blood tests done twice before and my liver enzymes were elevated so they wanna check um again, il know in a week. but im not worried , im sure they be fine and if not il deal with it

i was put back on high strength folic acid, i had a little niece who only lived a few hrs from ananchepholy ( so not spelled right ) she said it may make a diff
lets hope so makes me feel closer to ttc

 

[withlovemom]

hey, this seems like a good place to be in..
can i join in too please ladies??

 

[Smiler82]

Bump2Baby who did your psychic reading, was that Gail123 or something? I had a reading done by her last year. She said a lot of interesting things about spirits around me etc which made a lot of sense. However she was totally wrong about pregnancies I'd had a reading done by someone else before her, who told me I'd conceive Sept - Nov. I thought she meant 2011 since that was when the reading was done but it didn't happen. However, now I'm due to start clomid in August, I wonder if it'll happen Sept-Nov 2012....

lilesmom I saw on the other thread you had a win that is so great You still planning on going to Lourdes? What are angel cards, how do they work? My MIL reads cards, but just a normal deck. She predicted my last 2 pregnancies but the last few times she read them she didn't see pregnancies So I stopped asking her to do them in case she never sees it again!!

Hope your blood tests come back okay. Do you know why your enzymes were elevated? I am so, so sorry to hear about your niece, that is tragic. I thought folic acid was just for spina bifida, I didn't know it could help prevent other things too. I will make sure I never miss another day's dose.

hello withlovemom how are you? So sorry for your loss

 

[Bump2Baby]

Smiler yes it was her, it shocked me as i can't carry boys for a start lol

Lilies mum thats fab, see pma is helping all round

[Smiler82]

b2b how come you can't carry boys, if you don't mind me asking? I know this is a PMA thread though so if you don't want to dwell I understand She told me I would have two boys, but the other woman told me twin girls

Ooh good link! I don't know if I'd be a good candidate because of the PCOS but I filled it in anyway Was just chatting to someone else who was told to use OPKs with her clomid treatment, so if I can get some ovulation tests done for free instead of forking out myself then all the better haha

So what PMA things have we all been doing today then?? I am trying really hard and it is actually working I know this sounds so silly but I tapped out an email (which I didn't send obviously!) to announce my pregnancy. It was nice to imagine telling everyone, I really hope I get to send it for real some day soon...and then I have just been thinking about the little things in life that make me happy rather than thinking about the sad times. Again, sounds really silly but I'm looking forward to trying out my new food mixer tomorrow!! And a glass of wine tonight whilst I can still drink

How is everyone else?
