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?

Congrats to the BFPs!

English so sorry to hear the news and have you back on here, life is crap sometimes.

I also understand how tough it is Carly, Sebs & Red I was desperate for 2 close together and rather foolishly thought that as DS was conceived so quickly we could wait to financially afford # 2 and still have them close, my plan nearly worked out...., Now it's just another month of a growing age gap and another month of me getting older-rubbish. This week I also had a colleague (who knew I miscarried at the start of March) ask if I wanted a 2nd child- you can imagine my face!!

Anyway, let's try and be kind to ourselves, hold it together and put chins up and tits out, good news will appear soon. Hugs to all x x

RedBunny · 13/06/2014 18:29

Carly I totally get how you feel. My husband and I were so certain that we had to have our children close together but our plans are all ruined now because we just can't get no2. I had a miscarriage and then a missed miscarriage and I'm currently having my third period since. Which is pants cuz I feel like I've tried my hardest too! But like littlemisssunshine says you are meant to be more fertile after a miscarriage. I conceived again very quickly after my first mc.
Oh and to treacle I was also told that you had to have 20 days for it to be AF but actually when I went to the doctor about my sudden reappearance of bleeding they told me it was AF. And that was about 2 weeks.

LittleMissSunshine33 · 13/06/2014 17:57

Congrats blank and marshmallow!

Carly think positive you are meant to be more fertile after a MC so positive thoughts your body feels better now after this cycle and is now ready for your little bean!

I can't believe it's only been a week since getting my BFP it's been a long week with lots of different feelings and LOTS of worrying!!

sebsmummy1 · 13/06/2014 17:55

Treacle they say for it to be AF there needs to be 20 days between bleeding. However there was only 16 days between my mc bleed and AF and it arrived when it would have arrived according to my regular cycle. So if the bleed is around the time AF would have arrived I suspect it is AF.

Treaclepie19 · 13/06/2014 17:52

Ladies the spotting I had yesterday is now red bleeding. Do I take it as a period? Or mc related?

It is when I'd expect af in a normal cycle but only 2 weeks after I stopped bleeding from the mc.

sebsmummy1 · 13/06/2014 17:40

Carly darling I feel the same, hardly any familiar faces now - which is fantastic!!! But also makes us realise we are sadly still here which is upsetting.

Are you enjoying the weather? It's been beautiful here which is marvellous for lifting the spirits. If I didn't have my son I would be sitting in a pub garden right now, so try and enjoy all the spontaneous things you can do with your partner right now that you won't be able to do in the future Grin

I am now waiting to ovulate, I'm on CD8, normally ov CD13. It's been 2 months since we've been able to try due to mc no.2 and it's been so frustrating!!!!! I know I'm going to be devastated if I don't fall pregnant this cycle, I'm almost scared even thinking about it.

Hope26 · 13/06/2014 17:30

Blank did you dtd before you got your first AF after mc?

Carly6971 · 13/06/2014 16:42

Just wanted to delurk and say how sorry I am your going through this again english life is so cruel :(

As for me I am having a very tearful couple of weeks, feeling very angry and upset about my mc all over again. I think it may be just because last month was our first month really trying, and boy did we try! And yet still got af :,( totally gutted and am back in the mind set of "it took 6 years last time" rather than "at least we now know we can get pregnant". Even being on here seems hard now as so many of the familiar faces have got their bfps and moved on.

Anyways sorry for the rant, congrats to the bfps will have my fingers tightly crossed for you x

Littlelady33 · 13/06/2014 16:25

Yay to blank and marshmallow

Wonderful news, giving us all hope in the club no one wants to be in.

Good luck to all peeing people today!!!

sebsmummy1 · 13/06/2014 14:16

Congratulations Grin

Congratulations Blank and marshmallow x

blankfornames · 13/06/2014 13:30

Hi Marshmallow, seems like Friday 13th is lucky for both of us! After having a mc in April, I got my BFP this morning! Not letting ourselves get too excited about it after last time. FX for sticky beans all around!

broodylicious · 13/06/2014 13:12

Yay marshmallow! Fab newsGrin

LittleMy2014 · 13/06/2014 13:10

Started ttc just under three months ago after a MC, hoping for a BFP soon! Good luck for this month everyone

marshmallowpies · 13/06/2014 12:53

Ah English I hope you have many more happier birthdays to come, once you've got through this one. My MC started on Mothers Day so that will always be a tricky day for me in future but at least it's not the same date every year like a birthday is...

Good luck to the house buyers & the POASers today, and welcome other newbies (I'm still quite new myself...)

After screwing up my POAS earlier in the week (couldn't produce enough wee!) I tried again & have managed to get myself a BFP.

Not getting very excited about it yet, after last time, and don't feel very pregnant yet (just tired), but well, we'll see.

HollyBen · 13/06/2014 10:37

So sorry english. I had scans at 5+5, 8 then 9 weeks before I could have an erpc. I was bleeding lightly the whole time.

I am just waiting my fertility clinic apt sal Sad

Monten · 13/06/2014 10:26

Hi everyone, welcome to all the newbies, sorry you find yourself here.

I ended up bleeding heavily last night with a fever and throwing up, just been to see GP and they reckon an infection so I have antibiotics. Feeling very low, this is last thing I need.

english that's a shitter about your birthday. Sometimes you do wonder if someone is having a laugh.

Good luck to everyone peeing on sticks imminently

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 13/06/2014 09:46

Still to early for me to poas, af not due till wednesday im fairly sure I ovulated this month but am determined not to test early.

Sal1977 · 13/06/2014 09:00

What a shitter English! Hope you get through the next week ok. The waiting is the worst bit!!

"New house - new baby" my mum always says!!

14dpo here and it's a Friday and no bloody tests in the house.

Although, spotting is just about starting so that's another month down the swanny.

Had docs on Tuesday to ask for referral to the fertility clinic which he was very happy to do and said hopefully we won't have to do all the tests again as we had loads done for the recurrent miscarriage dept 6 months or so ago.

My experience of ttc and pregnancy (4 mc and nearly 2years to date) means I am less and less enamoured of my dreams of being a mum. I hope it's just a self-protection thing! X

Brummiegirl15 · 13/06/2014 08:55

I'm not going to test today - it's only been 3 weeks since MC so if I was lucky enough to catch straight away then it's still too early to test. Will probably test next Friday.

Although my logical brain is also telling me it's v doubtful that I even ovulated this month

Boozle80 · 13/06/2014 08:37

I've hidden all my tests for another two weeks, I have no idea what my cycle's doing since the mmc and then this weird cyst exploding thing, but according to my opk I have ovulated so I'm forcing myself to wait. Argh!!!! This is torture! Good luck to anyone who maybe peeing on the stick of doom or joy! Xx

RedBunny · 13/06/2014 08:09

Hey all. Can I join too? I was just on a two week wait thread but AF showed up yesterday.....
