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?

Slightly more awake than I was before... Lol, doh! Only me!

Marmaladecat1 · 16/07/2014 21:31

Come on in boozle :)

Ow ow ow-chilli cervix! That can not be good at all.
You ok?

Treaclepie19 · 16/07/2014 21:10

Lol boozle! Hands away from our Pringles!!!

Boozle80 · 16/07/2014 21:03

Tip number 54:
When an individual has been preparing chilli for supper it is not a good idea to check their cervix position, even after washing their hands.
That is all...

Boozle80 · 16/07/2014 21:00

I'm in Treacle. Love a good gate crash!

Treaclepie19 · 16/07/2014 20:51

Sounds good to me marmalade!

People are just rubbish aren't they :/

Marmaladecat1 · 16/07/2014 20:14

I agree broody even my friend who has 2 kids said to me after mine 'why do even want another one anyway?' Erm?? When is it ever ok to say that?
It's really made me rethink our friendship.

Marmaladecat1 · 16/07/2014 20:12

Come hang with me treacle I have wine and Pringles, food channels (no chance of baby or pregnant women) and Pinterest on the iPad.
Everyone else welcome!

broodylicious · 16/07/2014 19:30

Oh my goodness smiling, sending you lots of comforting and understanding hugs. I honestly think some people - the ones who've never experienced mc - believe that losing a baby is the same as losing a few strands of hair when you brush; something that is normal, a daily occurrence, nothing major and can be soon forgotten. I get that they've not had to go through it, and I'm happy they've not, but is a little thought and compassion too much to ask for?! Has she tried to contact you since? Did she call after you when you walked off? Xxx

Treaclepie19 · 16/07/2014 18:47

smiling what an awful thing to say.

I feel shit today. Just want to curl up in a corner and cry.
Currently at the in laws. Yay...

Monten · 16/07/2014 18:46

Hi ladies, I'm back from France, trying to catch up with all the news!

daisy am so sorry you were given worrying news and the lady was a cow. As I understand it, external scans are extremely unreliable for dating purposes at this stage so I have everything crossed that it will just be a measurement error. And bean is so tiny at this stage that 1or 2 mm difference can put you a whole week behind what you think you should be. Hcg is a much more accurate measure. Fx for you.

smiling what a horrible, insensitive, thoughtless thing for your friend to say.

broody I have everything crossed for you! When are you testing next?

just your blog post was great! what an amazing story! But I can see why you reckon someone upstairs has a sick sense of humour, I do too.

After spending the entire holiday convinced I was pregnant I just did a test and it's BFN. Really gutter actually. I was convinced and now feel like a fool. Why would I be one of the lucky ones to get pregnant straight away. I prob haven't even ovulated. Of course after hope's amazing story there's still a small voice saying "it wasn't first morning pee and maybe it's just too early " - arrrgghh!

Can I ask a question? The thing that led me to thinking I was pregnant was af cramps - lots of them. But no period. That was my first symptom with both other pregnancies. I'm a bit worried now. It's been going on for two weeks. Quite strong - feels exactly like af coming. Anyone else had this?

Marmaladecat1 · 16/07/2014 18:05

Oh metal :( how annoying. I'm sick of even looking at OV sticks and pregnancy tests. I understand.

I'm still waiting on AF here, day 46! Wish it would just hurry up!

Marmaladecat1 · 16/07/2014 18:04

Oh my word smiling I am absolutely fuming on your behalf! What a bloody awful thing to say!
I'm off Facebook currently. Also curbed my dirt habit of reading the celeb column on the daily fail online.
I just read it was 23 Saturdays until Christmas, just fallen apart thinking I won't be pregnant by Christmas.
Mine is a large white wine this evening :(

MrsBeeBeeBee · 16/07/2014 17:08

Dulcet, midwife warned me it could be three weeks for a bfn. Really depends how far along you were and hormone levels. I was around 9 weeks with hormone levels of 39000! So very high which is why I was told it may take a while.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 16/07/2014 17:06

Still no AF what is going on with my body?

FB is full of baby pictures today so ive decided to come off of it for awhile, ive also cut contact with a friend who told me to smile because it might never happen, I said it already has and her response was "oh your not still upset about that are you", I was so angry I just turned and walked away, I will never speak to her again.

sebsmummy1 · 16/07/2014 15:56

Oh don't worry I already know my low to peak jump generally means oestrogen problems (which is funny as I always thought I was quite oestrogen dominant and had progesterone issues) and I see lots of advice re. going to the GP (hollow laugh). Or loads if threads re. low to peak resulting in BFP.

It's all bullshit and I can't help but think that if I didn't use the monitor/opks and just had done sex around the middle of my cycle, I might not think I was permanently broken.

Metalhead · 16/07/2014 15:46

Bloody Google, now I've convinced myself I've either got pcos or I'll be having twins if I conceive because of this epic LH surge! (Must do more work and spend less time obsessing...)

Marmaladecat1 · 16/07/2014 15:32

Thanks dulcet:)
Fingers crossed DH will be better soon!

Hope26 · 16/07/2014 14:38

Daisy I really hope it works out for you. what an awful time to get stressed again but all the best for an early scan

Hope26 · 16/07/2014 14:37

Broody got not pregnant on digital and after a few days it said pregnant. Give it a few days and test again, it's not over until AF arrives.

Just - yes the news is very biased and it's a sad situation that in the 21st century these wars are taking place and civilians being killed and some people still live in poverty.

I'm at work and I'm so exhausted! Just want the term to be over. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz even the kids are feeling the same

DulcetMoans · 16/07/2014 13:23

Oh came in to congratulate but will reserve them for now broody. Digis are notoriously not sensitive so wait it out like you said and heres fingers crossed!

Did some googling yesterday, like you do, some people said it took them 3 weeks to get a BFN after MC. 3 weeks?! Crazy. then I obviously read the stories about the people that never get BFN as they get pregnant straight away... screams

One more leg over then metal, for good luck?!

DH with D&V is a pain in the arse marmalade, but just think, if you get it the dress might feel more comfy! Silver linings and all...

What poor service you have had daisy. I really hope you get some answers soon - get your nice GP back!

sebsmummy1 · 16/07/2014 12:36

Oh Metal that's a pain in the arse. I hate having sex when neither of you want to, it's torturous lol

Marmaladecat1 · 16/07/2014 11:31

I'm with seb digi's not very sensitive. You aren't out yet!
