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?

no idea as we're trying to be relaxed but AF is due tomorrow.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 13/02/2014 13:13

Fx for you Doctor, how many dpo are you??

DoctorDonnaNoble · 13/02/2014 13:12

It looks like I might be poas tomorrow - no progress towards AF yet.

MissHobart · 13/02/2014 11:23

Champagne - it is madness I tell you! Missing OV and shouting at OH for the reasons why saved my sanity and had put me in a good place for relaxation and just having fun! I even shaved my legs and defuzzed my foof last night in preparation for more fun laden TITH today! Shock Grin

Well done Otters ! It's crazy that we can spot an upduffed from a Mile away these days, I've "known" about each of the recent one's in my life way before any announcements! Hmm

EnglishGirlAbroad · 13/02/2014 09:46

Glad it went well Otters, love the posifrickintivity!!! Think it certainly gets easier, I think until we get our sticky BFPs there'll always be an undercurrent of pain but time does heal a bit!

Wish it was Friday!!! Wink

OttersPocket · 13/02/2014 09:31

Oh SHIT BUGGER ARSE!! I totally thought it was Friday today Blush Confused Blush

Ignore me, and keep your POASing until tomorrow when it is actually Friday.

OttersPocket · 13/02/2014 09:30

Morning everyone - has anyone POAS yet? Everything crossed for those who are today.

50 TITH sessions in a month is bloody painful ridiculous, I'm chuffed DP and I have followed smep so far and we're only on CD 9! And I'm glad today is a no TITH day!!

Last nights dinner was actually okay in the end. One of the girls is definitely upduffed. She wasn't drinking, ordered a steak well done and was rather puffy of face. I'm glad she didn't confirm it though, I need that news on a one to one basis. But I drank some wine and skillfully steered the conversation away from chat of babies so it was all good. I think I'm starting to feel a bit stronger about handling my emotions, a month ago any talk of children had me on the verge of tears. It's progress I guess Hmm Smile

Right, come on girls. We need some BFP's today Grin

Parsley2506 · 13/02/2014 08:00

You're not out till the witch shows! I think we need to plaster that in the rules somewhere next thread! I really hope you're both wrong just and doctor.

just were you referred for that test or have you self referred?

Anyone else POAS tomorrow? I'm about a week off going by last 2 cycles and nary a symptom in either direction.

Penguin13 · 13/02/2014 07:24

Sorry to hear AF is probably on her way Just. It never gets any easier. I hope taking a month break from TTC gives you a chance to regroup

Fingers crossed that your could be pg could be af symptoms go the right way for you Doctor.

DoctorDonnaNoble · 13/02/2014 07:18

Thanks - at least I know I'm not going mad! Just wish I wasn't more aware and that PMS symptoms weren't so similar to early pregnancy symptoms! Seriously unfair!

Justonemoretime · 13/02/2014 07:12

I think pg changes your boobs and also you become more aware of your body. My PMS is worse (or I'm more acutely aware of every tiny twinge) post MCs. Sad

DoctorDonnaNoble · 13/02/2014 07:07

I'm due tomorrow too - I've had a dull ache since early this morning - but, it's lower than my usual AF pains and I still have really painful boobs. So, basically, if AF does show it means my PMS is now worse post-MMC. Great.

Justonemoretime · 13/02/2014 07:03

My temp has dropped, so af won't be far away. Due tomorrow. We have decided to take a month off from this misery and go to get NK cells tested by prof Quenby in Coventry. At least well be able to rule it out and apparently the procedure increases fertility for 3 months.
Hope the witch doesn't get you Donna!

DoctorDonnaNoble · 13/02/2014 05:48

Oh well, after convincing myself that I was having more symptoms than I do with AF I am convinced I am going to come on in the next couple of days Sad. I hate this. I just want to be pregnant again and actually have a baby. Is this what it's going to be like every month?

champagnegoldfinch · 12/02/2014 23:27

otters, it was not the TITH I was querying, but the for fun business that goes on in the Hobart house. Madness I tell you!

Triplespin · 12/02/2014 21:47

You lot are so funny!! Definitely lifts my spirits. So who all is poas tomorrow?

Sal1977 · 12/02/2014 21:09

I think the only thing guaranteed after 50 shags on the trot is a bladder infection!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/02/2014 19:54

If ever I need a giggle, this thread never fails! Planter tub fannies and flying moggys (shouldn't laugh at that one really).
50 times is ridiculous, he can't actually be firing anything of any use!! But fair play! There's no way I could do that.
The 3 day stint doing SMEP is enough!!

Parsley2506 · 12/02/2014 19:33

Mmm, twiglets!

Now I love a bit of TITH but 50 times? Her 'flowerpot' must be more like a ruddy great planter tub!

The month I got my BFP we did it 4 times, 3 before OV was due and 1 as a bit of a 'better late than never' a few days later on holiday.

Hope no one is in the path of this ridiculous weather tonight. We've battened down the hatches and the mogs (a lady local to here reported seeing her cats 'flying through the air' during the last windy spell) just to be on the safe side!

Sundance2007 · 12/02/2014 19:25

Thanks ladies....currently sat drinking a nice glass if vino tinto, ignoring the fact that out dustbin just blew over and our rubbish is flying all over the street!

sal, your friend sounds really sweet. Bridesmaid is a good role at a wedding depending on the brides taste in dresses.

Just checked my fertility app history, last time I got pg was when we DTD/TITH every night for 8 days over the fertile bit, ovulating right in the middle of that. I remembering it being knackering and getting boring after day 3, but it worked!!

sebsmummy1 · 12/02/2014 19:24

Im lucky that on the whole OH can rise to the occasion, however in the past there have been times where ive tried to bounce on him at 6am before work and it was NEVER going to happen. Poor bastard could hardly keep his eyes open.

On the whole they say if you can have sex every third day across the month you are likely to catch the egg.

Sal1977 · 12/02/2014 19:15

Glad but sad we all feel the same about the competition thing!

My mate whose getting married has now made me feel terrible by asking me to be one of her bridesmaids. Feels lovely to be asked then she said that we'd leave looking at dresses until the summer then I can choose a maternity one. Bless her. She's even got us on her list as +1?.

Haven't been a proper bridesmaid before but fuck me, the other two are 5'10 and like twiglets. I'm 5'3 and look like I've eaten all the twiglets!!!

Every day?! I'm getting performance anxiety. Maybe I'm just not pg because we don't shag enough? Going to attempt smep this month so I can rule that possibility out!

Also exhausted just thinking about that much TITH. I'm not surprised they're not leaving the house, I bet the poor girl can hardly walk anymore!

waves to the witch glad she's finally decided to put you out of your misery Sundance. Maybe this is the start of a new, happier luteal phase for you?

sebsmummy1 · 12/02/2014 18:52

ha he you will be very impressed with my ehem every day TITH sessions with OH from the day we got the scan all clear. He is on holiday this week so we are going to get busy up till Sunday and then maybe every other day unless i get some obvious signs OV is on the way.
