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?

Hi tranquility, have a super holiday. Sorry for your loss a d buy whatever you like if it helps you feel better.

Ladies I'm getting severe cramps and they actually hurt. Don't remember this happening during my first pregnancy. Browny discharge as well. Sometimes the pain is on the left side and sometimes on the right.. I'm getting paranoid now has anyone else experienced this during early pregnancy?

EnglishGirlsReturned · 19/07/2014 07:44

Hi tranquility. I think I was just departing this thread when you first hopped on. I'm sorry you've gone through what you have. If buying baby stuff make you happy then crack on sweetie. Wishing you all the best for the coming months, hope you get a BFP really soon Smile

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 19/07/2014 07:08

tranquillity im so sorry Sad

I dont think its silly to buy a baby outfit, ive learnt that to get through this horrible journey we have to do whatever gives us hope.

Tranquilitybaby · 19/07/2014 07:01

Hello all, finally feeling in the right frame of mind to come back and start posting again. Wow three (hopefully one day BFPs in a week, that's brilliant.

Had my ectopic pregnancy in April and removal of my left tube. Been all over the place mentally but third cycle AF is due next week and after that we can start TTC again. Exciting and shit scared all in one to be honest.

We go away to Florida next week, so hopefully the relaxation will help a lot. I may even tempt date and buy a little baby item (outfit etc) just to give me a bit of hope for the future. Silly I know but that's what I want to do. I would've been 18 weeks today and my god would the cc have taken a battering out there on baby things if I was. Not to be though :(

Onwards and upwards

Treaclepie19 · 19/07/2014 00:02

Hi ladies, i shall read back in a min. Hope all ok.
Last day at school today. I am slightly tipsy...

:)

One good thing about not being seven months pregnant as I should be right now..... Being seven months pregnant in this effing insufferable heat! 29 degrees in dd's room tonight Shock

Boozle80 · 18/07/2014 21:56

I had spotting Foxtrot it kept coming and going for about a fortnight. Real pain in the arse, my AF appeared maybe 2 weeks after the spotting started.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 18/07/2014 21:56

Im babysitting, ive got 4 children and a dog who are currently all squashed on the sofa with me because the thunder storm woke them up, im going to melt into a gooey puddle in a minute, its so hot!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 21:38

Looks like a strong +ve opk to me english Don't envy you dtd tonight though! Phew!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 18/07/2014 21:15

Just weird that it went from blank last night to that today but, I don't need to be told twice (and at this point neither does dh!), will pounce tonight!

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 18/07/2014 21:14

boozle I know what you mean, I dont want to leave anyone behind, youve all become my mn friends.

sebsmummy1 · 18/07/2014 21:08

I can't enlarge it on my phone English but it looks good to me Grin

EnglishGirlsReturned · 18/07/2014 20:57

I think i may be close to a positive opk.... what do you ladies think of this??

Daisy, I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope you get some answers on wednesday.

Foxtrot7459 · 18/07/2014 20:07

Congrats to all the BFP's x

CD33 on the WTF cycle now and still no AF. Have had very light spotting the last 48 hours, but doubt I would even notice if I wasn't focused on wipe watch so much!

Did anyone else have this??

I am hating how messed up mc has made my body Sad

Boozle80 · 18/07/2014 19:43

Thanks all, still don't quite believe it! You all have to get BFP's now - I'm not ready to leave you all behind to join the new thread! I may just wait quietly in the background until you all come too.

Fergie11 · 18/07/2014 19:32

Congratulations boozie& smiling fantastic news x

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 15:41

Ah you can't drink because you have a terrible UTI.
Good job you managed to get an appointment so quickly hey?
Fantastic they give you really strong antibiotics. Mmm you need to flush it out with lots of water.
I'm sure you will be ok for the wedding, might be a bit tired though Wink
done this before

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 13:37

Thank you all. Now have to go and be strapped into a bridesmaids dress all weekend and try to hide why I'm not drinking...

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 13:16

Can only echo oneday's words daisy FX

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 13:16

Yep I'm with you oneday

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 12:26

daisy I'm glad you managed to get something booked. 100 is a lot of money but if it gives you the reassurance/closure you need then well worth it. I really hope it goes well and will be thinking of you x

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 11:23

Hello all, another me me update I'm afraid. My lovely research midwife has got me squeezed into clinic at St Marys on Wednesday morning for a bit of closure/reassurance. Yes it's another £100 on the train but it will be the same sonographer and the same equipment as the 6 week scan so I feel it's the best option right now.

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 11:10

marmalade are you in the same scenario as me waiting for first AF? (Sorry I can't scroll back on here to read and find out)

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 10:54

sebs I had EWCM for 3 days on 9th, 10th and 11th July and we did DTD two of those days. I didn't think you could ovulate until a -ve OPK either but people keep telling me to count day of ERPC as cycle day 1.

marmalade DH can never see my faint lines either. He couldn't this morning and we had a bit of a debate about it.

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 10:16

Thanks seb
I can't really see anything on it now :(
