If you're addicted to POAS and symptom spotting then join the club!

I'm currently 2DPO after a terrible flu virus caused late ovulation. I'm
Not holding out too much hope as ovulation was about a week late so my luteal phase may prove too short or maybe my LH surge was detected on OPK but I'm too sick this month to actually ovulate. Not much sex this month either. However I'm a crazy person in the 2ww so looking for like minded POAS addicts to join the ride!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 oooh sounds good! 🤞 I'm not feeling super hopeful to be honest, can't explain it I just feel like I'm out for this month x

SS123456 · 22/01/2020 12:47

Can I join the insane POAS club?! I'm roughly 9dpo and had a BFN this morning

AnxiousAnnie86 · 22/01/2020 12:45

@Jurassiclover ooo sounds promising!!! How you feeling about it,

Well I'm 8/9 dpo today, have back ache and some pinching feeling, breasts very slightly sore! X

Jurassiclover · 22/01/2020 12:35

@AnxiousAnnie86 I had spotting at 3DPO which I've never had before, had some cramping, dizziness, tasting metal/blood, and some nausea. Oh and really messed up dreams. You?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 22/01/2020 12:26

Any symptoms yet @Jurassiclover

Jurassiclover · 22/01/2020 11:12

I also tested today with FRER and FMU and to no surprise it was ofc BFN. Why am I like this 🤦‍♀️😂

CooperLooper · 22/01/2020 11:06

Hello, I'd like to join 🙋🏼‍♀️

I'm 3/4DPO today. This is our 4th calendar month of trying, but after having the implant out in Oct I've been a little all over the place (Nov was a 49 day cycle - ffs!) and have short luteal phases (4 days and 9 days so far), so it hasn't been 4 actual cycles yet. I also ovulate late, CD23 for me this month so it might be another long one....

I started temping last month just to check ovulation was actually happening, and this month I only had my BBT temp spike 2 days after a peak OPK so it looks like I ovulated a day later than I would have assumed.

If AF doesn't turn up beforehand after another short LP, I'll aim to test on 29th or 30th 🤞🏻

No symptoms yet nor am I imagining any - I'm full of a cold so that's keeping me both miserable and suitably distracted!

Good luck everyone! X

SweetpeaOrMarigold · 22/01/2020 09:39

Hi all I am ttc after mc at 5 weeks, didn't hang around waiting for AF so I've no idea when I OVd, we just had lots of sex
Reckon I must be about 9dpo ish though.
My boobs feel like someone punched them all night and the oven smells so horrible that I'm going to have to clean it!
Obviously Poas the last 3 days because why wouldn't I
I can see the faintest line today but DP thinks I'm going insane!!
Wondering about using a frer but I know it will be negative...driving myself crazy!

The big guns came out this morning. The perfect recipe of FRER and FMU. A match made in heaven....

BFN as expected as I do think it's too early....

I tracked back on a previous chart in which I was temping and using OPKs. Worked out that 11DPO was actually 15 days after my first positive OPK. So considering I'm only 10 days from my positive OPK I could still be in with a Chance. But I packed tampons in my bag today just incase.

Who else is POAS'n with reckless abandon today?! One of us has to hit jackpot in a few days!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 22/01/2020 06:35

Opks reallllly faint again:( didn't do a test this morning as I really feel like I'm out.. got back ache and sore boobs but think that's AF, to be honest I would be happy if it did turn out to be I haven't had a period since Mc in NOV

How's everyone else getting on?

AliSxo · 21/01/2020 22:16

I've done IC's 4dpo/5dpo & tonight at 6dpo!! Can't wait for 9DPO I'm going to bring out the big guns aka a FRER! Xx

bluemoon2468 · 21/01/2020 21:40

I've decided I'll be POAS (IC) tomorrow morning - feel like I need to do it to prove to myself it's too early, then I'll be able to give it a rest for a few days 🙈 That's probs not how it works and I'm just feeding the addiction! I'll be anywhere from 6-11DPO as I basically had a week of positive OPKs and my temperature chart is super confusing this month. Think I'm probably most likely 6-8DPO but I just can't wait any longer 🙄

Trying2b · 21/01/2020 21:17

Omg you POAS addicts are right up my street, I'm so happy I found you!!! I'm not even in the TWW yet (AF only just finished) and I'm already itching to POAS hahaha! Unfortunately I've had a few chemical pregnancies but even with those I got faint positives as early as 10DPO, which fuelled the addiction! I promised myself no more early tests, it's too sad to see positives fade to nothing! Buuuuut I'm delighted to perv all over your second faint lines. Please post pics, I'm having withdrawal!

Jurassiclover · 21/01/2020 20:49

@Katnissx thank you!x

Katnissx · 21/01/2020 20:43

@Jurassiclover ooh hopefully a good sign for you then! Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

Jurassiclover · 21/01/2020 20:37

@Katnissx no I don't actually have anything to confirm! So very well could be the. See of ovulation. I've just never spotted mid cycle before so it totally confused me haha x

Katnissx · 21/01/2020 20:30

Ooh you're getting close to knowing @charlesthekudu if you're nearly 10dpo! Have you had any symptoms?

@Jurassiclover did you have anything that confirmed ovulation (BBT/OPKs)? Could be you ovulated earlier than you thought, or possibly ovulated later- some people do get spotting from ovulation and cramping on one side sounds more like from ovulation (that's what I've had a few times) x

charlesthekudu · 21/01/2020 20:19

Haha we are very cheeky

I've got an all day conference tomorrow and will likely get home really late. So that's tomorrow I won't test, then Thursday will be 10 days since my positive OPK so a bit more realistic to test. I've got a feeling AF is going to show up before I get into the 11/12DPO stage.

AnxiousAnnie86 · 21/01/2020 19:17

@Jurassiclover we are all at it today! 🙈

Jurassiclover · 21/01/2020 19:12

Caved and did an Asda cheapy, bfn of course 🤦‍♀️

charlesthekudu · 21/01/2020 18:08

Wonderful! I'm in good company with the super early testers. I'm tempted to give DH my FRERS and say I'm not allowed one until Friday morning on a strict one per morning basis.... but it might end up like that situations when I say 'encourage me to excercise' and then I lose my rag and open the biscuits in defiance!

OP posts:

Jurassiclover · 21/01/2020 17:24

I've had some mid cycle spotting which never happens for me but it was at 3DPO (predicted by app) so surely too early for implantation, also had some cramps which have been one sided and felt very different to period cramps which is strange!

Fighting the urge to test hahaha

AnxiousAnnie86 · 21/01/2020 15:41

@charlesthekudu hahaha I did a one step
One This morning! Negative, obviously! I've got 2x FRER coming today/tomorrow but reallly going to try holding out till the weekend to test on them xx

eatanazurecrayon · 21/01/2020 15:23

@charlesthekudu I did one this morning 😂👍🏽

charlesthekudu · 21/01/2020 14:45

So obviously (since I started and made a call for all irrational people to join me)
I've taken two pregnancy tests today. Why not hahaha oh dear. Very foolish. Absolute stark BFNs which of course they would be 8 days after my positive OPK. The addition continues...
The spotting sounds good - to the previous poster!
And Anxious your line is much darker than my OPK.
One of us has to hit jackpot right!
My FRERs arrived this afternoon so I look forward to trying (probably all four) tomorrow because I'm quite frankly a maniac.
