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?

Congratulations fergie crossing everything for you.

hope I am the same. I'm so fed up of the whole thing.

I'm a grumpy cow today!

Hey Hope preseed is described as a fertility friendly lubricant. Didnt use lubricant before ttc but once I read about this I thought anything to help the little swimmers!

I think I was about 10/11 dpo when I tested. As I had a big bag of internet cheapies I was testing for about a week. My line took longer then the recommended time so I went and bought a digi and it showed pregnant 1-2 weeks x

Hope26 · 04/07/2014 10:16

Also fergie how many dpo did you get bfp?

Lou I think we all are crazy ATM... And will be until we see bfp. I'm actually getting fed up of always being on my phone researching. Honestly I'm wasting so much of my life!

Hope26 · 04/07/2014 10:12

Fergie thank you so much for sharing this information. I really pray your scan goes well and you have a sticky bean. I do think the more we stress, the less relaxed we are during dtd. Please keep us updated on your pregnancy And I hope you have an uneventful one. What is preseed?

Lou07708 · 04/07/2014 10:11

fergie thanks for sharing!! I have everything (apart) from legs crossed for you!

Lou07708 · 04/07/2014 10:09

I am seriously nuts. Just ordered ANOTHER 2 x early preg tests. Clearly I am going to be POAS everyday up to next Sunday when AF Is due.
Anyone remember what it felt like to be normal and unconsumed with mc/ttc/fear/desperation!!! I may sound like a spoilt child but I just want to be pregnant and have a healthy baby more than anything. It's a bloody physical pain every time I think about it. CRAAAAZZZY lady!!!!

Fergie11 · 04/07/2014 10:02

Thanks everyone. As requested Hope some details. My first AF after mmc was just over 4 weeks which was longer then my normal 26 dat cycle. During my most fertile time in May we were staying with friends so didn't get much opportunity to Dtd. Although I got a smiley face my 21 day test showed if I did ovulate it was earlier then the cb result. That AF arrived 2 days earlier which made sure AF was gone for our holiday. I should note prior to holiday I felt on the edge of a nervous breakdown as I wasn't coping well. I am 41 ttc baby #1. My holiday totally chilled me out and I came home after 7 days in the sun a new me, relaxed and not stressing about getting bfp!! We Dtd day 9, 11,14,15,17. We used preseed every time as it worked first cycle last time. Regarding symptom spotting during tww I'm not sure except maybe cramps around day 21 but I think I can imagine symptoms. What I did have in that tww was more sightings of pregnant ladies then normal, two characters in my book finding out they were pregnant and also it seemed every tv show I watched. I am so happy about my bfp but I don't feel I can relax and enjoy until i get to 12 weeks x

Definitely having anti-social shagging this evening, my ov is high! Think I may actually have to take a bowl to pee in for tomorrow morning - I was going to wee behind a bush but need to ov test! Might be awkward in the wind! This is a WHOLE new level for me! Definitely worth seeing DP's face as he wakes up and sees me doing that! Although may not be that conducive with dtd...

Hope26 · 04/07/2014 09:57

Bythesea I had many bfn's and I'm still hoping for a bfp so don't stress. Xxx

bythesea82 · 04/07/2014 09:46

BFN for me this morning Sad AF due Sunday so still a chance I guess but was hoping to have a BFP as an extra birthday present for DH. Ah well, see what this weekend brings.....

Hope26 · 04/07/2014 09:34

Lou I really do hope it turns up for you soon. If we are supposed to be more fertile after mc- we should all get bfp's soon!

Usually I'm never this hesitant to test after 1 day of a missed period but I'm actually scared to see a bfn. Makes me realise how much of a traumatic experience a mc is and how it affects you both physically and mentally. I will seriously be so disheartened if I have not got a bfp this month. As soon as my sticks arrive I will test and pray AF doesn't come before that. Amazon are pretty good with delivery so shouldn't take long at all.

Lou07708 · 04/07/2014 09:26

hope I am with you on that feeling. Just seems too good to be true that a bfp will appear for me after cycle 1 ttc.

Hope26 · 04/07/2014 08:51

Thank you ladies. I just got a feeling my cycle is messed up after mc and The witch will turn up.

wiltingfast · 04/07/2014 08:42

Good luck hope x

TinyTear · 04/07/2014 08:36

I am POAS on tuesday... that will be CD 28, 14DPO and I actually have a GP appointment for a different matter so if it's positive can ask him straight away about the thyroxine - as I don't think i will have the NK results by then... apparently there is a backlog

Monten · 04/07/2014 08:29

Oh good luck hope. I'm like you, af is much less heartbreaking than bfn. You are very patient tho!

Anyone else poas-ing?

Hope26 · 04/07/2014 08:15

Thank you ladies. I have ordered first response pg tests will take a couple of days.

Fergie congratulations! Can you please share your story of conception in detail to motivate all of us! Any symptoms etc. was your second AF after mc on time?

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 04/07/2014 08:14

And in the spirit of poas Friday, I have and it's finally negative! Hurrah!

Hopefully this will be the last time I'm ever grateful for a negative.

Good luck to anyone else today!

Congratulations Fergie! Good news for a Friday! Are there any more POASers this morning?
I'm on the cusp of ovulating. Exciting times Grin

Justonemoretime · 04/07/2014 06:26

Toad in the hole ;)

Fergie11 · 04/07/2014 06:03

Hi Ladies I have been lurking since I had my mmc in Aptil. I poas on Sunday and got my bfp. I am trying not to get excited until I safely reach 12weeks and just think today in pregnant. Fx for everyone poas this weekend xxx
