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?

Oh English I am so sorry. Thanks xx

Hi ladies,
Sadly I will joining you all again. Had my second scan this morning and although the sac had grown it hadn't grown enough and it was empty. Hoping to be allowed an erpc without another scan. I know my dates and know I should be further along than it was measuring.
Feel completely empty. Can't believe I'm having to go through it all again. Already worrying about ever being able to carry a baby to term.
Life is fucking shitSad

Oh smiling the 2ww, I'm not even there yet and already the thought of it is killing me.

I've put my finger on (one of the multitude) of emotions I am feeling - disappointment. Bitter, bitter disappointment.

I want a baby so badly, it's like a physical hurt. I've got to go and buy a pressie for my new nephew now, might go and visit later, haven't been brave enough yet. Sending you good vibes Thanks

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 11/06/2014 12:32

Oh monten I feel the same, the lady in tesco was talking to me like they do and usually im happy to have a chat but I just wanted to calmly tell her to shut up, not scream or shout just calmly say "would you mind shutting up please, I dont want to hear anything you have to say". That sentence went round and round in my head until I left the shop Blush

im feeling really weepy today, ive got lots to do so am trying to keep busy but the 2ww is really stressing me out Sad

Monten · 11/06/2014 12:03

smiling "I feel like everyone is talking AT me" that is so true! I feel like I could have written your post myself.

When I'm grieving I become very introverted and quiet ( usually am quite the opposite). I'm lucky that DP has been off work this week but these past couple of days he's been doing my head in! Just talking, talking and wanging on about this garden project he's working on. Yesterday I turned around at one point and shouted 'will you please just shut up!'
I feel like just telling everyone to shhhhhhh. Especially people who are being sympathetic and trying to make me feel better. What your counsellor said makes total sense to me.

broody I accused DP of same Blush

just Thanks

Seasides · 11/06/2014 08:51

Thank you so much everyone - sal I'm afraid they've been snapped up. I feel like I don't know how to say I hope all you long term threaders are off here asap without sounding patronising or something, but I really do hope so. Thanks and a lot of Cake

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 11/06/2014 08:50

broody please dont cry x

I think that we just retreat into ourselves to cope and dealing with soneone elses pain is just to hard.

ive been talking to my counsellor about how I feel everyone is talking AT me ie if I ask dp if he would like a sausage or bacon sandwich all I want is a simple "sausage please" instead I get "sausage please because I like those pork and leek ones and bet they will be nice on a sandwich, and can I have brown sauce because I dont like ketchup in a sandwich" it makes me want to scream.

the counsellor says its because all my energy is going into healing and taking care of myself and that listening to the unnecessary words is just to exhausting; I think thats why its been so easy to let dp take care of me and push his grief out of my mind, its just too exhausting dealing with 2 lots of grief, but I feel so guilty about it this morning.

broodylicious · 11/06/2014 08:37

smiling I am crying reading your post. I think we think men move on quickly but in fact, your husband nailed it - they want to look after us and appear the strong ones, when really they are just as heartbroken as us. I hurt my dh the other day by saying he'd moved on the moment after it happened but I couldn't yet - he was quite upset by my comment, I was so sorry.

broodylicious · 11/06/2014 08:28

Hugs just x

Justonemoretime · 11/06/2014 07:42

I don't know where the time goes. Its a year tomorrow since my third mmc was discovered at a routine scan at 13 weeks. At which point I threw the leftlet back in their faces as demanded to have my erpc at UCL under ultrasound guidance rather than High Wycombe by a junior doctor with a spoon. I got my way; 'You wouldn't like me when I'm angry' is a phrase that springs to mind... I found mn shortly afterwards on the support after recurrent mc thread, and you lovely ladies at Christmas. I have learned so much (thank you for your support) and, I hope been able to help others find their way through the mine field. I remember when I just went along with the NHS party line, before my 'education'. May we all have our happy endings soon. :)

Congratulations seasides

treacle sending you a big hug x

I cried in a card shop yesterday because they had a card saying "happy fathers day love the bump" Sad

we chose to name the baby we lost because I was convinced it was a girl, we chose Charlotte and planted a rose as a kind of memorial. Yesterday she bloomed and we have a beautiful yellow rose, looking at it is the first time dp has cried. I found him sat in the garden at 1am, he admitted he had been so busy looking after me he had tried not to think about how losing her had affected him Sad now I feel bad for not supporting him as much as I should have done.

marshmallowpies · 10/06/2014 17:14

I've learnt why you should never POAS when it's not a Friday (last Fri was the end of my 2ww but didn't have time to buy or pee on stick till today).

So I bought 2 tests today, rushed back up hill in the heat to home, sat on loo &...no wee. Drank a big glass of water, waited, waited, went back to the loo & this time only a tiny trickle of wee.

It must be due to the hot weather, my bladder must be completely empty! Really annoyed at wasting 2 tests on such a non-event...

Metalhead · 10/06/2014 17:04

Fantastic news Seasides! I hope you can start to relax a bit now and wish you a happy &healthy rest of your pregnancy.
