The Rules...

(1) A lady may only POAS on a Friday.
(2) Friday means the day that everyone calls Friday in the time zone where you spent the night.
(3) Rule (1) does not apply to POA-OPK-S, UNLESS they are being illegitimately used as surrogate HCG detectors, in which case Rule (1) most definitely does apply
(4) Rule (1) does not apply following a BFP because if you want to waste £25 a day POADigiS that's your prerogative
(5) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady is POAS in an attempt to get a BFN to prove she can start DTD with intent
(6) Rule (1) does not apply if a lady wants for unknown reason to pee on an actual stick, like a twig or some such, if that lady is unexpectedly caught short whilst tramping in the forest looking for bears.
(7) These rules (including Rule (1)) are subject to the change at any time if the ladies of the Posifrickentivity thread decide on a whim come up with empirical evidence to prove that it is luckier to POAS on any other day of the week
(8) Violators of Rule (1) shall be subject to fish throwing.

And as a grand finale, why not pledge to NEVER POAS before 14DPO?

Booooo for all the BFNs but its not over yet ladies!
I'm in the process of creating a line of trout guns for purchase. I think my new career should be an arms dealer...I hear there is good money in it and I am sure my signature range of semi-automatic trout guns will go down a storm. I am going to test one on the bucket-fannied acquaintance for having FAR TOO MUCH TITH for my liking.

I am on CD9 of SMEP and am already dreading the next week of shagathon. It all just seems to pointless (awful isnt it...i do love DH and I do heart TITH but I prefer doing it when we fancy it and not as per my frigging ovulation calender...mind you the way I feel at the moment we probably would never DTD again)

OttersPocket · 14/02/2014 09:41

Ah girls, sorry 'bout the damn bfns. Sending some posifrickentivity your way.

Happy digi OPK day Penguin I'm hoping to get mine today or tomorrow.

Penguin13 · 14/02/2014 09:30

Sorry for the BFNs Doctor and Just. Hope it's just too early for you Doc and Just I hope that you get some answers if you make it to the tests before getting a BFP.

First ever positive CB digital opk was an unusual valentines gift but I'll take it! I might actually have a 2ww this cycle which is a step in the right direction. Hopefully being on hols next week will provide a distraction. I see delicious fresh croissants in my very near future Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 14/02/2014 08:50

Sorry for the bfns Donna and Just, hope your DH's give you some extra love today.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 14/02/2014 08:49

Not overdue yet - just due to start and before MC I could guarantee I would come on that morning. Wanted to know one way or another as I've booked into a hard gym class this evening involving barbells and heavy weights Grin

Triplespin · 14/02/2014 08:35

Sorry about the Bfns. It isn't over yet. Is AF overdue just and donna?

misshobart I am in a fairly similar position. Do not despair! Still worth hoping for a miracle or you can look forward to next cycle.

I have booked for accupuncture next week, so looking forward to that. So wish to be the person who gets upduffed soon after starting!

DoctorDonnaNoble · 14/02/2014 08:29

Feel down hearted and crap now. This is the first time I wish I did Valentine's Day as then I'd have something to look forward to tonight! Sad

TeaRex · 14/02/2014 08:26

Sorry for the bfn, fx it's a bit too early for you ladies x

Parsley2506 · 14/02/2014 08:04

Double boo just and donna, sorry for the BFNs.

Glad you've got some positive action you can take now just and hoping you get some (good!) answers.

Justonemoretime · 14/02/2014 07:18

Sorry for your bfn, Donna, hope its either a false test or AF comes and is totally healthy and normal to get you ready for success next month.
I'm a bfn too, as I thought. AF not got going for me yet either, and I'm set on this NK test so hope it comes and goes and I'll be ready for my sticky bfp in April with either reassurance or appropriate treatment.

MissHobart · 14/02/2014 07:07

You're not out yet! wait for AF! Smile

I continue to opk giving further confirmation that I OV'd on CD11 and missed! Hmm

DoctorDonnaNoble · 14/02/2014 05:49

Tested but got a bfn. However, hope it's not tmi but it was a Boots cheap one and I got some on the window bit which it says to avoid. Sad
Anyway, no sign of AF yet so there we go.

Justonemoretime · 13/02/2014 21:26

£360. Smile

Sal1977 · 13/02/2014 21:21

How much ate you paying for the test Just?

Parsley2506 · 13/02/2014 20:43

donna whatever feels right for you. Do Don't let our vicarious BFP wishing influence you if you'd rather not test yet.

MrP's best friend announced he was engaged last week - great news all round. Tonight however he's told us the wedding is Apr 6th. Am now awaiting fearing/dreading the shotgun announcement.
Baxter where did you leave that trout gun?

DoctorDonnaNoble · 13/02/2014 20:10

I have to admit I'm a little scared to POAS. I had made my own rule that I was only going to test if I was late - but I don't suppose it really matters does it. If AF hasn't shown up by tomorrow I should poa(cheap)s and wait and see what happens. It can only be one of two things!

OttersPocket · 13/02/2014 20:03

Everything crossed for you Doctor, and all the other POASers Smile

DoctorDonnaNoble · 13/02/2014 19:55

Yup. I teach teenage boys!!!! Really not sure about tomorrow - I think it could go either way at the minute Confused

Justonemoretime · 13/02/2014 19:09

I'm self referring to this clinic. It's a bit expensive, but I think I'd rather know, and I can ask about short AFs while I'm there, too.

Good luck for any poas-ers for tomorrow. I've had some slight pinkish spotting so I reckon I'm out.

Parsley2506 · 13/02/2014 19:08

Ps doctor are you a teacher? As long as you refrained from boob prodding hopefully they didn't even clock the weird faces! Wink

Penguin13 · 13/02/2014 18:50

That is a lovely thoughtful idea re the lasagne Parsley. If you accidentally make too much I am happy to take some off your hands Grin . Good to hear you're looking forward to the visit rather than dreading it.

Eeeee Doctor I am getting hopeful on your behalf. Good luck for the POAS party tomorrow!

Parsley2506 · 13/02/2014 17:32

MissH, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that tidy fanjo = only for holibobs! I thought I remembered you saying up thread somewhere about going away for the weekend - must have been someone else!

otters I'm turning in to a pg bloodhound too, wish I was able to practice this awesome skill on myself Hmm

Visiting bf and her newborn this weekend, actually looking forward to it. I love babies, (which is a good thing seeing as I want one!) but the whole MC thing has left me hiding from them wherever possible which is just so messed up but we all know why!
It was bf's birthday last week too, so I've got her some nice pampery stuff and going to take a big lasagne or similar for her to bung in the freezer for when they need it.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 13/02/2014 17:22

Missh - love the attitude! :)

Thanks, Parsley. I was pulling some interesting faces in my last lesson today. I kept getting pains in my boobs. God knows what the boys thought. It is indeed my second cycle post MC. Last bfp (only one) was on fourth cycle of trying. Felt really vague and woozy ALL day today.

MissHobart · 13/02/2014 16:49

Not off anywhere! Confused

Defuzzing is such a rare occurrence it's a celebration in itself! Blush Hmm Grin

Parsley2506 · 13/02/2014 15:55

doctor this is your second cycle post MC right? Fx for you tomorrow.

missh where are you off to?
