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?

Secret poas-ers, you ladies are funny! Must admit I've been burying ov sticks/packets further down the bin so dh doesn't see them.

marm, with you on the cleaning attack! I bought a handheld steam cleaner yesterday and tackled our bathroom - oh my goodness, I love it! I also bought and planted some herbs yesterday so having a thoroughly middle age time at the moment!

My dad's a twin! I'd love twins!!
It's only non-identical twins that run in families, so I'm in with a chance! It would be amazing!

I'll have a spell over here too Dulcet please!! Wink

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 14/07/2014 23:03

I have twins in my family and I have triplet sisters ... Gah!

I'm glad I'm not the only secret poas-er. I now hide them at the bottom of the bin so there's no evidence!

Marmaladecat1 · 14/07/2014 22:26

I'll take the spell thank you :)
Lovely to know you are well cake

I rummage secretly with packets in the bathroom too.
Sed bathroom got the tail end of my bfn wtf cycle rage tonight. It's very clean and shiny now though.
The front door has also be assaulted with the Hoover.
I may not be pregnant but I have a very clean house!

Treaclepie19 · 14/07/2014 22:26

My sisters are twins, but they are half sisters. Although Im pretty sure that it's from my mom as she got pregnant with twins again before me (with my dad) but miscarried.
I'd love twins (I say that now).

broodylicious · 14/07/2014 22:21

Thanks for the spell dulcet! Yeah please no twins for me, I can barely look after one, I'd be awful with another two on top of her! Is there anyone with twins in their family on here? Think it's hereditary, isn't it?

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 14/07/2014 22:04

Congratulations cake it's so lovely to hear the stories of those who have been hear and now have the good news they deserve.

Thanks for the spell dulcet, so kind of you!

DulcetMoans · 14/07/2014 21:44

I can get you all a spell if you like. DH always said I was a witch. Ill even do it for free for you lovely lot. Multiplus impregneamus! That's one for us all to get pregnant at the same time, not for us all to have twins!

Hi cake, great news from you!! Hope the rest of the pregnancy is smoother than the start!

broodylicious · 14/07/2014 21:42

Aah cake, that's wonderful news! Smile So lovely to hear a positive graduate story Smile

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 14/07/2014 21:36

If only it were that easy to go online and get a spell eh!?!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 14/07/2014 21:18

Oh Cakebaker, I'm so happy and relieved that everything has worked out well for you. So nice to see you pop back in. Wishing you all the luck in the world for a straight forward 27 weeks!! Smile

Cakebaker35 · 14/07/2014 21:12

Hello all, I hope you don't mind me popping back to this thread but I had so much brilliant support here from many of you (special mention for sebs Grin) that I wanted to see how you're all doing and let you know that I'm now 13 wks pg. It's been a total rollercoaster with bleeding since week 5/6 ranging from spotting to passing clots the size of my hand that I can't quite believe I'm still pg, but 12 wk scan a few days ago showed all is well and thriving, amazingly. I just wanted to pop back to wish you all well and I am sure your bfps are on their way, I will keep popping back from time to time as I can't wait to hear about them. Hang in there my posifricken friends and thanks again for the love and fish slaps when I needed them x

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 14/07/2014 21:04

marmalade my DH doesn't get the whole peeing in a stick thing either. I now make sure I out the fan on in the bathroom so he can't hear the rustling of the packets to know I'm doing one every morning!

Foxtrot7459 · 14/07/2014 20:30

Still no AF here so I'm consoling myself with a chocolate orange!

My holiday shagging plans are in danger of being postponed Angry

Marmaladecat1 · 14/07/2014 20:07

Keep going treacle not long till the hols.
I know exactly how you feel though.

Marmaladecat1 · 14/07/2014 20:06

Fanny cracker lol! Oh boozle!
A faint line hey? That sounds good!
I'm going mad looking at my bfn I think I actually
Imagined a line!
I'm super fed up today.
DH had one job to buy some tests today but forgot and didn't think it would be a big deal.
I am fuming. It's a big deal I need to obsess over another test you moron!

Ah well

EnglishGirlsReturned · 14/07/2014 20:04

Oooh broody! Faint frer!!fx my lovely!

Treacle, you an do it. Get through these next few days and then relaaaaax.

My body is truly saying WTF! Had a line in an OPK yesterday, not nearly positive but a line none the less. Today nothing. Hoping I haven't yet ovulated. We've only been DTD eod.

DulcetMoans · 14/07/2014 19:43

A faint on a FR!? That's very promising - those babies are judgementally white when there is nothing to see. Can you wait til Friday?

I might be oving... Maybe. If I was having a normal cycle with CD1 being first day of MC then I would be about now. Better get on it. Or not if the acupuncture lady asks!

broodylicious · 14/07/2014 19:04

Hahahahaha!! Fanny cracker!! boozle I actually truly lol'd at that!!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 14/07/2014 18:58

Thanks broody I really needed that! A faint line!? Oooooo!!! Here's hoping for you, fx

Lol at fanny cracker!!

Treaclepie19 · 14/07/2014 18:37

broody, ive never had a faint line on a frer either!
Fingers crossed for you :)

Well, work is shit but at least there's only 4 days left.
Feeling crap that I've got at least another 8 months when I go back but at least I'm on cd6 today.

Boozle80 · 14/07/2014 18:35

You absolute fanny cracker broody - lol, don't mean that at all, just wanted to throw it in there! Whoop whoop to a positivity only matched to an American talk show reuniting former drug addicts with their stranger who put them through rehab, found them a job and got them a flat to live in.

sebsmummy1 · 14/07/2014 16:55

Broody I NEVER get a faint line on a FRER.

Just saying Grin

broodylicious · 14/07/2014 16:48
