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?

I am actually feeling fine with bfn. I though it was AF on Thursday so went through my moment then. Apart from not getting a positive OPK everything was normal lacey Bit of cramping this morning and actually some red when wiping so maybe it will ramp up a bit now.

LaceyLee · 29/03/2014 21:47

Sorry Holly. I had a vet light AF this time round as well, I don't know why but it is a little concerning. Was everything else the same for you this month? Mine was pretty much, ov'd one day later than last month.

Seasides · 29/03/2014 21:17

Oh, that's balls holly, sorry. Good plan to speak to doc sooner rather than later to put your mind at ease, hopefully, and to get something on file.

I always think that lacey, I'm only 3dpo though so even i can't blame it on a symptom just yet! Just greedy...though I am always way hungrier during the 2ww, it's interesting when you pay attention to your body and spot these patterns.

TeaRex · 29/03/2014 19:30

Sorry holly :(

HollyBen · 29/03/2014 19:04

So just for you guys I poas and bfn. It would seem this is some sort of pathetic excuse for af. I have my day 1 bloods on Tuesday then will make an apt to see go straightaway rather than wait to the end of this cycle

TeaRex · 29/03/2014 18:44

Got AF on the 7th seasides so just over 3 weeks in but my cycles are never regular so don't have a clue where I am. Stupid body.

LaceyLee · 29/03/2014 18:41

Omg seasides I totally have that today. Been realllllly hungry! I am also sadly thinking it could be a symptom.... But also having one beer tonight on the basis that its not going to do any harm and I'm probably not!

Seasides · 29/03/2014 18:29

Where are you in your cycle tea?

Grr, got the 2ww munchies and only cheese and ham in the fridge! In danger of working my way through the whole cheese...

TeaRex · 29/03/2014 16:53

Yep holly poas! :)

I'm spending too much time on mumsnet today! Tiny tiny amount of ewcm with big streak of bright red blood, wtf does that mean? Confused

Seasides · 29/03/2014 15:09

Yep, Holly, pee on that stick! Although, and sorry not to be totally positive, wouldn't it be a bit late for IB? I thought that tended to be around 9/10dpo? But for af not to arrived properly on around 14dpo I would be peeing on things!

Cakebaker35 · 29/03/2014 14:57

Welcome Inca, as others have said I hope your stay here us a short one.

Holly, poas!!!

Triplespin · 29/03/2014 13:29

holly you should poas. You have permission!! On cd31 this definitely sounds like IB. Good luck and let us know how you get on. Fx.

tea sorry to hear that!! It is downright depressing when everything else also starts to break alongside. I am not really a DIY person so cannot comment on your post, but maybe think of it as a distraction from the TTC obsession?

TeaRex · 29/03/2014 12:12

Christ thread link would help wouldn't it?

Hello inca, sorry to see you here.

But congratulations to cakes and also carly

Having a right shitter of a week, stinking cold, and our garage door is hanging off, cue much crying from me (I honestly don't know what else can break/fuck up this year) if any if you get a minute could you take a look at my thread and give an opinion? Know it's not at all ttc related so no worries if you can't be bothered :)

LaceyLee · 29/03/2014 12:04

Welcome inca and sorry you find yourself here.

Holly you should definitely poas!! Go on!!

I am fairly successfully focussing on other things... or trying to...5dpo and nothing except horrible spots! Another bfp would keep me going, sorry that's very selfish!

sebsmummy1 · 29/03/2014 11:44

Oh inca I'm so sorry you are here, how are you feeling?

sebsmummy1 · 29/03/2014 11:41

Oooooh defo POAS Holly Grin

Well we have started SMEP on CD 6. Although we get in lots of sex over the fertile period I think we should be making more of an effort outside of this, hence starting a bit early.

My CBFM didn't ask for a test stick this morning, no idea why. I assume because last month was more text book in that it hit peak it is now conserving sticks and will ask me for one tomorrow? Who knows.

I have sent partner and son off to Nannies whilst I clean and do done decorating. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more of a down day as we are having a nice early dinner in a posh restaurant nearby with my Mum.

MissHobart · 29/03/2014 11:36

Ooh Holly , POAS! Wink

HollyBen · 29/03/2014 11:22

mc was in sept though it took about 3 months for first af so this is cycle 4 since. Not really sure how many dpo as I never got a positive opk this month and ran oit of tests on cd19 which is when we last had tith. cd31 today. Usually get a positive cd 16/17, then have the pink tinged cm dpo 11 and a couple of days light flow. This seems very light though and not even a sessoon at the gym meant anything on a liner.

Seasides · 29/03/2014 10:32

Backstreet Boys Grin Grin you legend English!

How many dpo are you holly? And how many af after mc is this? Sorry, on phone so can't scroll back for stats. It's just your hormones settling down still prob s, my afs were weird for a while...but I'm not ruling you out for IB either...FX.

Hi Inca, sorry you have to be here. Hope you're back on those grads threads quickly, and we make you smile a bit in the meantime.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/03/2014 09:17

Could it possibly have been (whispers)... Implantation Hollyben?

HollyBen · 29/03/2014 08:58

Welcome Inca. Here's hoping your stay is short (in the nicest possible day)

So my rummaging found some pinky CM on Thursday. On Friday there was more red so I put a liner. Nothing on it all day, though it was there is I resorted to rummaging. Last night I used a tampon which was practically dry this morning and only a little red when I have a search. AF has been light post MC but this is a bit worrying. Any thoughts/insights?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 29/03/2014 07:56

Hope you all have lovely weekends plannned! Looks set to be a beautiful weekend here! And I'm going to relive my youth and see the backstreet boys tomorrow BlushBlush (the shame)
First tith session as per SMEP - done!
Sorry you're joining us Inca, hope we can make this next stage of this shitty journey at least a little bit more enjoyable. And if you need to rant or moan, go ahead!

broodylicious · 29/03/2014 07:37

inca, I think I remember you too. How are you getting on now hun? This is a great place for support, with a fab dollop of laughter on the side x

Incacola · 29/03/2014 07:28

I've been in hiding from the ttc threads after mmc in Jan 14. Starting to feel better now but still prone to a few tears every now and again.

My stats are Inca cola, ttc #2 since April 13 (still bf'ing until Dec 13), mmc Jan 14 at 6+2.

Sebs, I'm really sorry to see you on here. We were on the same bus and you were very kind when I had to jump off. Thanks
