yeah we are all back and raring to go:wink: so who is next for testing? Beanhopes your ticker says day 1, did the arrive yet?

I only got to bd cd12 and prob O'd on cd14 maybe even cd15 eek hoping it's the miracle thread! Ella gave me my PMA back in abundance so this month it's gonna happen I know it didn't even think about getting preggers cause I was going away.

OH is gaging on his zinc vits it's hilarious but he takes them anyhow! I was supposed to get my bloods done on Monday but bloody forgot to ring for an appointment. Aww well I don't need it as I am probably preggers anyhow

OK so we have one preggers must be someone else this month

Hey Lisa

I'm buzzing on the back of Ella's news!! I didn't believe I'd have this level of happiness for someone I've never met but I guess I love you ladies already.

My ticker is timed for a 26day cycle as that is what I was last month but I'm at the end of my cd27 today and still no . If I don't see her I will test on Sunday and I'm now allowing myself to get a little bit excited.

Just told my DH and he is in shock as I've been so quiet this month as I've not even had a twinge or sore boob to mention. We are both so excited just in case the fact that I was ill in Dubai, relaxing and thinking I was out of it made all the difference.

I just want to be bump buddies with some of you soon.

Big hugs

xx

Come on beanhopes PMA make me another bean Aunty!! I am buzzing with Ellas news it's so funny but I love all you girls like sisters and want to see all of you get the

Ellas news lets us all know it can happen! and I will pray for you tonight just like we all prayed for Ella last week.

Aah thanks all for the kind words of welcome! What amazing news for Ella - must feel like a miracle. Congratulations and make sure you look after yourself. Well I'm day 35 of my recent change to 35 day cycles. Woke this morning with a migraine type headache - sure sign that af round the corner! Not surprised really - kind of knew it hadn't happened this month. Trying not to stress too much about it all - already suffering with eczema so don't want to get too stressed. Not easy when I've got a couple of friends who get pregnant on demand! Hubby good but doesn't want to talk about babies all the time! Happy weekend wishes to all!

Hey Marie

Stress is off the menu for you!

PMA all the way on this thread just ask Lisa, she's the PMA Princess and we are all in awe of her.

Hope your migrane gets better and that AF stays away.

You are all bean auntie! I love you all too... it really is amazing going through this with everyone, and I just feel so incredibly lucky. Thank you, really, for being so wonderful!

Sam, remember I had no, NONE, not a single one, no symptoms at all with my BFP. Not even a twinge. So you're not out until the flies in! And while I've been lazing about in bed all day, I've been casting spells against her coming! So there! Aunties like you all, yes! AF, no!

I would have been the last person in whole world ever to believe in PMA (am quite the cynic by nature, and pretty grumpy most of the time) but this whole miracle thing has definitely changed my mind. Someone is due for a Valentine's Day miracle of her own! And the flood of :BFP:s will follow!

Trying to find some hope when I thought all was lost, my very best (not virtual) friend recommended "Taking Charge of Your Fertility Naturally." Seems like a lot of stuff we already know, but her sister fell pg right away using it. The only other thing my dr. recommended when TTC was fish oil/flaxseed oil -- double the doses -- because it increases blood flow in the tiny vessels, e.g. those that supply your ovaries and uterus. Grapefruit juice worked for me to increase EWCM from one day to a couple.

But I think it's all meant to be when it's meant to be, and I know it will happen for us all! I really do know that... It's okay to be impatient, goodness knows, but that's just because something really wonderful is coming soon!

Love to all,
Ella

Trying to keep calm and not thinking about it all too much! Try to be a glass half full kind of girl most of the time. Just to clarify Lisa - this is our 2nd or 3rd cycle of properly ttc, so still early days but you always hope it will happen straight away. Did try some OPKs but soon got fed up - think they were cheap ones. Also using pre-seed. Felt I ov'd about day 14 or 15 with lots of ewcm and some ov pain, but don't think it's my month. Just had glass of wine but purely for medicinal reasons of course!

Wine sounds good

Of course I thought bingo bango first month and that would be me up the duff lol but seems to be taking a little longer

Although I try not to stress and just let it happen every time the arrives I HATE HER

It's amazing how we sympton spot and some get no symptons and others loads so I have learnt not to sympton spot cause I think I am preggers every month lol

 

[Leilani]

OMG - I go to bed, then have to get up early to go sailing (which has been postponed for a few hours due to waaaay to much wind), come home and log on here to see such great news.

Ella - I'm totally stoked for you (and have shed a few joyous tears too), that's fantastical!! What a shocker and terrible week you must have had, and just as you're coming to terms with it all, this happens - truely amazing.

Lisa - I've missed your entries about how long you've been ttc? What's the general consensus on what if anything is helpful for conceiving as people have graduated from here?

Hi Marie - Ella is our only graduate so far - and she is our miracle girl! Her advice might be, go to your doc and get stocked up on drugs you don't really want to take, and hey presto your bpody behaves itself. I'm hoping for this option, or similar. My GP has written us a referral to the fertility clinic, so am hoping for the BFP before we get an appointment!

The general consensus is, have a lot of sex around OV time - though that doesn't seem to be working for us - perhaps we're all missing something!!!

 

[marie73]

Hi Leilani thanks for that advice. Taking pregnacare conception, using preseed and trying plenty of bd around ov. Just thinking it's a matter of time. How's New Zealand? Where do you live? We were there 3 years ago on honeymoon and loved it!

I think it really is a bit of a numbers game - especially when we are all pretty much doing the right thing, and are getting "in-tune" with our bodies!

We're in Wellington, which is great (even though I've wasted 6 1/2 hours today waiting to hear that the rest of our regatta has been postponed until tomorrow, as it's stupidly windy today). We both love the South Island, and would happily live there, if we didn't have to work for a living!!

Wow, its been busy here last night. I was

Sam, excited for you, but don't test too early! I was googling stuff yesterday and it said most tests on the market won't pick up anything until a week after a missed af. Day of af too soon, first response claims to work before period due, but I didn't use that! Its a heck of alot of waiting for us girls!

Still no af but I am waiting for wednesday to test when it will be a week. Got unbelievably emotional last night, angry at nothing and tearful at nothing. Hate hormones! Can't even go for a run cos bbs won't let me

Ella, I am so excited to be a bean aunt! Can't wait til loads more girls get a bfp!
Hope everyone is ok and has a great weekend! Its so great to be able to come on here and read what everyone is going through, and how positive everyone is, I feel much better after I read all the action from last night!

Leilani I am jealous you live in NZ, it always looks so beautiful!

Lisa, this is the book I think. I read it when I came off pill as I didn't know what was going on, now I do. Its what we all should have been told when we started out periods!

 

[Beanhopes]

So we know I've been having the most vivid of dreams lately. Last nights dream was just amazing because in the dream I was pregnant. I had my . It felt so real that I almost woke up my DH and asked him if I did a test before I went to bed!

So I got up this morning and POAS or 4!! They are all positive and I am in absolute shock. I can't explain how amazing it feels and I think this thread must be very lucky indeed. I'm just hoping that this little one sticks around for 9months. I thought getting pregnant was hard enough but keeping hold of it is a completely different ball game.

Thank you so much for all your PMA and I'm sticking around with you if you'll have me in the hope that the baby vibes will rub off on all you wonderful ladies.

Big hugs and lots and lots of lucky xx

p.s. I'll post test pics in the gallery.
