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?

MMC March 2014 at 12 weeks scan baby measured 7 wks, AF 4 weeks after ERPC.

Currently waiting for AF, OPKs all negative this month currently on CD45.

Went to DH family BBQ today, haven't seen them for over 2 years. There was a girl there who is due 2 weeks before my EDD. Brought it all back to me also she was drinking heavily I just wanted to scream at her. It's so unfair.
To top it all off her mum (someone I'd never met before) asked if we were going to have a brother or sister for our DS "because he needs one" those were her exact words. DH replied maybe one day, I just wanted to say I had a MMC as that would have shut her up but didn't as we were surrounded by lots of people.
I hate that question, why do people feel the need to ask especially when they don't know you?

For all Facebook woes - does everyone know about 'unfollow'? Go onto someone's page and then unfollow them. Means none of their updates appear on your page. But they don't know that.

Is anyone watching the World Cup? I quite like football. Also enjoying Thierry 'homina' Henry on BBC1 coverage.

Lol just Grin you did make me laugh with your "mad cat lady" comment! Glad you found her btw, can imagine it'd be mega stressful xx

Justonemoretime · 14/06/2014 19:27

I only put photos of my cats on fb.... Nothing wrong with that.... Oh dear....

Welcome daisy. Yep you're right with the old baby bomb online. I'm a total social media whore (I blame my job!) so if it's not scan pix on fb, it's gorgeous newborns on Instagram! I suppose it's pot calling the kettle black though as I do post a lot of pix of my dd (just ask tannyloo!)

My stats - 35, east mids, ttc #2, mc feb 27 at 12 weeks. Bled for 12 weeks afterward mc until a procedure four weeks ago. I'm waiting for first AF to show up then will be bonking like mad

Abnormal scans june 2013, complete molar pregnancy confirmed july 2013. Chemotherapy started september and finished the end of november. Hcg levels have been normal now for 7 months and thankfully as my dr promised I did not lose my hair :-)
I also believe that facebook is evil and I had to ban it for a few months as I was already a hormonal wreck ( due to out of control hcg levels) let alone seeing scan pictures :-(

Brummiegirl15 · 14/06/2014 18:40

Yep Monten

Scan pictures everywhere - all over Facebook.

Hate the thing at the moment - but too much of a loser addict to delete myself off it

Next af due wednesday and crossing everything that it doesnt come.

The 2ww has turned me into a crazy person and ive started deleting people off of facebook if they post baby related stuff.

Monten · 14/06/2014 17:56

Also - scan pictures on Facebook??? I'm sorry if anyone on here did that but....I just don't think that kind of thing needs to be on Facebook. You, your DH/DP and immediate family are the only people who need to see a picture of your womb

Monten · 14/06/2014 17:52

Oooh, nsgirl I think I may love you! I am on Metronidazole and Clarithromycin. Any good?

Boozle you don't sound miserable in the slightest. And here is the one place you dont have to pretend not to be miserable anyway.

Just sorry you had a meltdown. My immediate next door neighbour is about seven months pregnant (by the look of her) so will be due next month when me first EDD was. That'll be nice hearing the baby crying (our walls are very thin).

There, that's my n-bomb!

Justonemoretime · 14/06/2014 17:38

I've had a mini melt down today- pg friend in town (dh text me to warn me, so didn't see her, but I felt angry at the situation that made me feel like avoiding her was even necessary). Neighbour but one is having a baby shower in her garden right now. Naturally this is pissing me off. Grump. ;)

That makes me sound really miserable and I promise I'm not (well most of the time anyway!). Xx

Boozle80 · 14/06/2014 17:11

Hi All,

I'm Boozle, 33, ttc #2 with since November, mmc at the end of March, erpc beginning of April followed by a second erpc two weeks later after I haemorrhaged, re admitted a fortnight later for the preganancy cyst rupturing and haemorrhaging for good measure, no idea what's happening with my cycle since, still ttc as I don't think it can hurt! Developed a general hatred of scan pictures on Facebook! Xx

nsgirl · 14/06/2014 16:57

Tell me about it! Is the whole world pregnant at the moment?! I actually cried at baby clothes in a shop this morning ??
Hi BTW
TTC since Jan
Mmc 3 weeks ago and still no bleed (I feel like I'm in a limbo out of the game grrr)

Monten what are your antibiotics? There are few you really can't drink on so long as your careful.... (And I'm a prescriber)

Treaclepie19 · 14/06/2014 16:20

Thank you. Yeah I feel the same about dtd... We haven't since the mc though so it's going to be odd.
Definitely, bumps seem to be everywhere at the moment.

Hope26 · 14/06/2014 15:46

Thank you I hope you get your bfp soon too. I'm a bit dreading the whole dtd but I really want a baby now. My friends sister is in labour right now... I know I'll hear good news soon of her delivery, just makes me want it even more, and it's so true, seeing bumps is actually worse than seeing babies

Treaclepie19 · 14/06/2014 15:39

Sounds very similar to me hope, fingers crossed you get your bfp this month x

Hope26 · 14/06/2014 14:24

*i am off my period

Hope26 · 14/06/2014 14:23

Stats: age 26, ttc #1 since oct 2013, conceived in jan, mc in April, D&C done, Af came at cd35, very heavy. I am not off my period and done ovulation test, got flashing smiley on the CB dual hormone ovulation test and that means I'm highly fertile today. Will test every day until I get a solid smiley indicating I'm ovulating, so I'm going to dtd every day, just relieved my cycle is similar to what it was before. I just hope I ovulate this month.

Brummiegirl15 · 14/06/2014 14:12

Stats for me too.

Waiting for 1st AF which I reckon should be next week but being naughty and still DTD
