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?

hope, try not to worry, the scan probably irritated your cervix. I expect its nothing to worry about. Hopefully it will settle.
Monten, you have my respect. I'd have struggled to stay put.
I've just realised I'm due my AF on Saturday. Been so busy, I'd totally forgotten to keep track. We'll see what the weekend brings!
Waves to all! X

Boozle80 · 21/07/2014 21:25

Oh Monten that is truly bab :( well done for sticking it out. It's like the whole world slows down around you when something like that happens isn't it?

Hope26 · 21/07/2014 21:24

Sorry ladies about the me me me post. I'm stressed. My brown discharge appeared again. Right now I wiped and I can see pink discharge! What is going on.. Cramps have gone for today.. Am I miscarrying again???.

Treaclepie19 · 21/07/2014 21:09

Monten that really is shit. Well done for staying. I would've run for the hills.

Fingers crossed for you lou x

Lou07708 · 21/07/2014 21:04

monten that is crap. When I found out about the girl at work it really set me back.
I've been in France for the week. Seen two preggas people in 7 days. Forgot about everything and totally chilled out. As I sit here I am already dreading seeing girl at work tomorrow.
It's a new month though and keeping positive that cycle 3 post erpc could be lucky!

Monten · 21/07/2014 20:45

That's wonderful seasides - congratulations. Fx for an uneventful rest of pregnancy.

sebs sorry, I don't really know. Like you I tend to totally dry up right before AF but before that it seems to come and go. Much like my boobs. Bodies can give off confusing signals in my experience. I would try not to think too much about it. Are you using ov sticks?

Ladies - I had a real kicker this evening. Went out with a client and the team. We sit down in the restaurant - she announces she's pregnant. With twins. 14 weeks, due early Jan - exactly like I would have been. I had to squeal and shout and say congratulations with everyone else and then we had to spend the whole meal talking about how fucking exciting it was. I wanted to run screaming from the table with my fingers in my ears. This fucking sucks girls, it sucks.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 21/07/2014 19:36

Ahhh so glad everything is going well for you Seasides Smile

Treaclepie19 · 21/07/2014 19:11

Hi all :)

Glad all is well seasides :)

Well, my uti keeps coming and going so going to have to go to the doctors tomorrow. It's quite sore at the moment. Don't know what to do about dtd... Don't want to miss ovulation but don't want to make it worse.

sebsmummy1 · 21/07/2014 18:19

Ooooh not Pooh lol

sebsmummy1 · 21/07/2014 18:19

Pooh I would love them Seasides please!

So glad everything is progressing beautifully with you Grin

Seasides · 21/07/2014 17:38

Hi ladies - sorry I haven't been able to catch up with all your news, I hope you're all really well. Unsurprisingly, as I had pee sticks coming out of my ears when TTC, I opened a drawer the other day and it was full of IC OV and HPT sticks. Any takers? PM me with your address if so, I'll send them your way.

All is, as far as we know, fine my end - 20 week scan on Monday. Trying to quell the fear, as ever...but it's all been ok so far. Massive luck with your BFP quests, one and all.

sebsmummy1 · 21/07/2014 17:08

Funnily enough that month where I had my period then testing positive afterwards, I had bloody EWCM on 10dpo that I now know was implantation (unsuccessful obviously). I had never had that before but had read about it online. It was a whole load though, the stuff I'm talking about that I seen to get pretty regularly is small amounts when I wipe it mixed in with creamy cm.

Well I guess it's not totally abnormal. Will be interesting to see this cycle whether my LP is 12 days or 14.

broodylicious · 21/07/2014 16:58

Hugs for you too english xx

broodylicious · 21/07/2014 16:56

Many hugs monten This week will be tough but we are here for you. That's what my friend said too about not thinking she'd get upduffed and mc twice Hmm It just totally sucks this mc shizzle!!!

Thank goodness for mumsnet, that's what I think! It's the only place I feel that people totally understand and where I can be totally self indulgent I did tell the hospital to tell ladies who've mc they should check out mumsnet for support. Hoping for more good news from more ladies this week to spur us all on Smile

EnglishGirlsReturned · 21/07/2014 16:51

Yay for the high scores Metal! Smile Fx for us both!

Sebs, ewcm is indicative of an oestrogen surge when it happens post ov. Don't know if that I itself them indicates a BFP?!

I'm in the same boat too broody, never imagined that I'd have another mc in the time before my original due date. I'd have been due first in September and second in January. Hmm

Treaclepie19 · 21/07/2014 16:35

Glad your scan went well hope :)

I am one that got pregnant using preseed. Hoping it will do the same this month. Didn't work last month though!

I feel very sick. Ugh :( can't be related to bfp as I am only just about to ovulate.

Metalhead · 21/07/2014 16:15

english I just signed up for FF and also got a 'high' score! Grin Though I'm sure it would have been the same last month as we timed TITH exactly the same, so not getting my hopes up...

sebs I sometimes get watery or ewcm a few days before AF. For me that's a sign I'm not pregnant. I've read somewhere it is the beginning of the uterine lining breaking down (though I've also read plenty of stories of women reporting his and then getting a BFP, so who knows!).

Justonemoretime · 21/07/2014 16:03

hope, so glad it went well. Hope the next 2 weeks fly by uneventfully. X

Monten · 21/07/2014 14:50

broody that's me. My first baby was due this Friday. I was so hoping I would be up duffed before EDD came round - didn't cross my mind I would be succesful then miscarry again. I feel right back to square one. This week is going to suck. I hate the week post AF. You know you're def not pregnant and there's not even any ov-ing to get excited about. Sorry AF came but glad your cycles are getting back to normal x

sebsmummy1 · 21/07/2014 14:49

Congratulations on your BFP Florence Grin

I know I'm not pregnant this cycle as my cm has now totally dried up. However, does anyone get small traces of EWCM at times over their 2ww? I'm trying to work out if this is indicative of an anovulatory cycle or it's something lots of people experience. I seem to have a dry day after OV, the get creamy CM, then a little EWCM on 3dpo, then it kind of mixed in with the creamy until 7dpo. Then I dry up until AF.

broodylicious · 21/07/2014 14:45

Oooh, I forgot to say yay for the bfps that have appeared too!!! So fab to see good news, gives us all hope Smile Here's to an uneventful and boring eight months for you ladies xxxx

FlorenceandZebedee · 21/07/2014 14:39

Good news hope really glad all OK, hope you can relax a little over the next fortnight x

broodylicious · 21/07/2014 14:20

hope really really pleased all was well this morning Smile

Welcome to the newbies. I'm so sorry for your losses. Hope your stay here is short and sweet Thanks

AF has just arrived, naturally while wearing white knickers Blush This will be my second AF since mc and has arrived cd 30, so not far off my pre mc 28d cycles.

I've just seen a friend - we met at NCT classes last time around - and she's since had an early mc and an ectopic. She freely admitted she's an absolute wreck these days and was getting teary eyed a few times as she asked me about my mc. The first baby she mc would have been due in May just gone so she's devastated that she's had a second mc in the time she should've had her bubba Sad

Metalhead · 21/07/2014 13:46

Hi all. Sorry I've been quiet for a while, trying to lie low during my 2ww (currently about 5/6dpo).

Glad your scan went well Hope, that's a good start and fx for more good news in 2 weeks!

Also congrats to all the other recent BFPs, I hope you all have better luck this time.

Welcome newbies and sorry for your losses, hopefully you'll find some comfort here among these lovely ladies.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 21/07/2014 13:45

One day - I started using daily OPKs as soon as I had a negative hpt. No temping this cycle. I've entered the results and cm and DTD into Fertility Friend and then because I've paid for the VIP version it tells you your chances based on ov date. Obviously having not temped I can't guarantee I've ov'd but after the first mc I didn't even get a positive OPK, just AF 23 days later.

Hope I'm so glad that it went well. At 5 weeks a blob is all they're likely to see. Another two weeks or so should show a nicely growing bean! Fx!
