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?

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 21:27

I feel like I daren't actually hope!

Daisybell1 · 17/07/2014 21:23

Boozle I had horrible cramps this time, proper constant AF type but a week before it was due. Just saying....

sebsmummy1 · 17/07/2014 21:21

Loving all these BFP girls GrinGrin

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 21:19

What do quite horrible period type cramps mean? AF isn't due until Monday at the earliest, unless I'm on a super short cycle, like 21 days short? I don't know!!!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 17/07/2014 21:10

Peeeeee boozle and you will either get lovely news in time for the holidays or you can join the crazy squinting club!!

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 17/07/2014 21:05

Yes im the nanny, not a posh one though im afraid Grin

Monten · 17/07/2014 21:00

No it's smiling who's a nanny I think? I'll be watching it tho - DP is playing football and it's just the sort of viewing that is in order.

I have everything crossed for you smiling! I hope you get some sleep!

Pee boozle!

broodylicious · 17/07/2014 20:45

boozle peeeeeeee!!!!

monten, is it you who is a nanny? There's a programme on itv at 9pm called Britains Poshest Nannies. I'm recording it as I don't think dh will want to watch it.

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 20:42

To pee or not to pee..? I'll be 10dpo tomorrow, what do you think? I've been super good and haven't even bought one yet this month! It could set the holidays off or put me in a foul mood!

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 17/07/2014 20:36

Tesco didnt have any frer so I got a digi to use in the morning and I did another cheapy one when I got in, there was another faint line, dp saw it too so I wasnt imagining it but it was fainter than the earlier one.

sebsmummy1 · 17/07/2014 20:01

My son threw my (full) per pot all over the bathroom a few months ago. I walked in there and wondered why it and he stunk!!!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 17/07/2014 19:57

Glad I'm not the only one broody deep down I know I'm not pregnant and it's probably left over hcg but it's still bloody frustrating. Just had a Chinese and a large glass of wine to bring me back down to earth.

boozle ha ha! My pee pot currently take the form of a fabric softner lid, so classy!

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 19:48

I only get a cleaner once a year as well so my house is clean for the start of the summer holidays! Doh to not tidying up properly!

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 19:47

Your - I apologise for the you're in the previous post - I can only put it down to my chilli cervix and brushing my teeth in my own urine...

broodylicious · 17/07/2014 19:47

smiling are you home yet?! We want results!!! Fx Smile

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 19:46

Right guys, are you ready for top tip number 76? Never leave you're pee pot out when you're cleaner is coming round - they may use it as a toothbrush holder...

broodylicious · 17/07/2014 19:20

oneday oh, I'm totally past insanity. The train left crazy town some days ago WinkGrin

I did a frer earlier and it came back negative so I'm assuming those squinters a few days ago were a blip and I'm not pg Hmm

Hey ho, wine tonight! Grin We have salmon too so I shall be bashing myself up with it for being so daft and desperate and breaking my own poas rule!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 17/07/2014 18:40

DH has just got in and after a lot of squinting he can't see a line. Well he can but he's not convinced at all! Big glass of wine tonight me thinks, we're having salmon for tea so may even slap myself round the face with it first.

smiling definitely get the frer! And be sure to update us.

MrsBeeBeeBee · 17/07/2014 18:17

smiling and oneday I really really hope there is no mistaking those lines soon!

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 17/07/2014 18:15

Am going to buy a first response test on the way home, im not sure whether to believe the cheapy one completely ignores the fact thats all she used last time and up too now its been negative

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 17/07/2014 18:05

Opened up the cheapie and there's definitely a line there too now?! My DH is so going to roll his eyes when he gets home and sees all the wrappers and I'm thrusting another pg test in his face ...

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 17/07/2014 18:00

So I caved and bought a frer on the way home and it's a faint line. Did a cheapie too at the same time and it's definitely negative. I'm so confused but am tritons to be rational and guess that because the frer us more sensitive, it'll pick up any left over hcg whereas the cheapie won't? Also i have no idea if i've even ov yet as still waiting for first AF. It'll be four weeks on Mon since my ERPC so surely my hcg should have come down now, especially with the -ve tests I've had? This is torture!

broody how are you not going insane?!

smiling that's great news! Keeping everything tightly squeezed for you!
