POAS Anonymous - Thread 2

@Dex1521 you never know! I really liked reading that thread that @GreenApplesYo shared the link to about whether people 'knew' they were pregnant before testing. fingers crossed for you!!

Perhaps tmi but I've had really sore nipples today, thought I'd do another OPK just now especially as the line started to darken earlier on.. and hurrah!! 🎉🎉

@positivitytree2020 Oo good luck with the BD!! Sending good vibes for you and the hubby 😎

I thought I’d have a cider but drank about half and thought I was going to be sick 🤢 banging head ache too which has gone now since drinking a pint of water so strange as after all I could think about was the prawn cocktail Pringles so grabbed a handful 🤣 I’m having so many PG symptoms but I think every little thing I feel I’m thinking it’s PG But I’m only 2dpo so think I’m going mad 😂 really need to calm down lol

Sorry just realised I tagged jessi60 instead of @PowerOfFlowers in that last post soz

@positivitytree2020 there's no arguing with that positive!!! Eeek sending all my positive thoughts for BD this evening!!

@jessi60 that seems so strange! Was the test actually darker in person and premom just scanned it funny?

@PowerOfFlowers that is very strange, looking at the picture it doesn’t seem very dark! But maybe the app is seeing & picking up something that we’re not? 😊 have you taken another one yet? 😊

I’m just finishing babysitting now so took another test there, thinking it would have dropped by now, but it seems to have risen even more! 😊 has made me slightly more hopeful that I still have time left to DTD! 😅 gonna leave it a while coz we’re both wrecked, might chance it before bed!
Everyone say a prayer for me that I get to BD properly and DH provides the goods!! 😂😂🤞🏼🤞🏼 Even if I get one more shot this cycle I’ll be happy!!

Hello! CD13 over here and I POAS this morning and was very surprised when it came back as High 🧐 Attatched a picture. The line wasn't that dark so I took another picture and it was even higher. Odd. We dtd soon afterwards just in case, but I just think its a blip. I'll do another test at 4.30pm. I normally ovulate around cd17. Ahhh well, if its about to happen, at least I've got it covered!! 🤣

@jessi60 mine has been pretty intermittent, little bits here and there this month so hard to know what's going on really. I've been tracking it on the apps anyway.

@Dex1521 no judgement here, you're in the right place 😂

Hi my names Samantha and I POAS at only 2dpo today 🤫😬 don’t know why I did it but I just couldn’t resist at least it was only a IC so didn’t waste a Clear blue or first response. This is why I’m refusing to buy more expensive ones until day AF is due 😂

Also I noticed EWCM last night just once when I went to the toilet and now it’s completely gone. Strange🤨 x

Thanks everyone! 😊 really frustrating but nothing I can do about it anyway, just have to let DH get it together! we’ll try again tonight, have a feeling we’ll both be wrecked after babysitting all day, if it doesn’t work out I am done with this cycle! 😂

Good to know @GreenApplesYo that you were successful and didn’t do it every single day! 😊 Hoping less is more! 😂🤞🏼

@positivitytree2020 feeling so frustrated for you lovely, I did read ovulation happens 12-48 hours after your peak so reckon if you manage to do it tonight or even tomorrow morning you will still be in with a chance!

@jessi60 god that sounds rough! Hope you feel better soon!

Had a bit of ewcm this morning although tests are still low, asked my OH if he wanted to dtd and he said alright but can I take the bins out first. Such enthusiasm 😂

That’s how my tests are looking aswell. We last managed to dtd in CD 14 and then couldn’t last night or today with me not being well.

I’ll deffo be ruled out this month I reckon. I’ve been up all night being sick and on the toilet (sorry tmi) so there’s no way i am capable of dtd. Feel like I’ve been hit by a bus 🙁 xx

@positivitytree2020 aww no how annoying. I hope you're both OK. For what it's worth, DP and I probably only DTD 1-2 days before ovulation. I got the peak OPK and we DTD the same day, but the next day I was staying overnight at my parents. Obvs better to dtd today but if you don't it doesn't mean you're out.

Morning! 👋🏼 Did a cheapie test this morning since I can’t use my CB one anymore now that I’ve gotten my peak on it, seems to have improved even since last night! 😊 was thinking it might shoot back down this morning!

We tried to BD but didn’t work out! DH woke up too late, and then it was taking to long to do it and we had to run out the door for babysitting so he just gave up! 😒 pretended I was okay with it, but I’m RAGING inside! 😂 also wasted my proceive lube, that stuff is expensive! 😅
Guess we’ll try again this evening when we’ve more time! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe this month just isn’t meant to be!

@positivitytree2020 wahoooo get BD 💃🏼

Omg you guys!! I’ve had such a vivid dream last night that I’d just had a baby girl and me and my OH were in it and all our friends and family who live local and were pushing her around town etc and it felt so real even down to changing nappies in it too!! Maybe it’s a sign at 2dpo 🤣 I woke up this morning disappointed as she wasn’t real

@positivitytree2020 yay so happy for you! Get dancing 💃🏼 ✨ 👶 and if you’re worried about it not all going in you I read a study about the male during ttc and around 33million sperm are released when they cum so that helped put me at rest thinking if enough got in there 😅

@DrS44 there’s hope for us POAS addicts then 🤣

@Klprr93 sending lots of good vibes and luck 🤞

@positivitytree2020 wow yayyy!! Just shows you how the peak can come out of nowhere and why it makes no sense when you hear testing once a day is enough.
Good that you DTD tonight before the high id say, that's the way round you want it but keep testing and if you can do it again tomorrow then it's a bonus 🙌

Hi ladies sorry I haven't caught up yet but I just thought I would give some hope to everyone! My bestie who's now 28 weeks pregnant told me that she got negative tests all the way up until 23 DPO! Then the clear blue digital told her she was 2-3 weeks 🤷🏼‍♀️ something to not for us POAS addicts 🤣 xxx

My next question... when should we DTD next? 🙈 we are babysitting our nephew from 9am - 5pm tomorrow, and given the issues the last few days I don’t want to pounce on DH and put him under pressure early tomorrow morning? 😂 do ye think DTD tomorrow evening would be alright? We did it this evening too (well just about, most of it got in but some got on the bed on the way in - TMI lol) 😂
Might chance tomorrow morning anyway and see how it goes! 🙈

Hey girls, finally got some positive news this evening!! 😃 just about to go to bed so said I’d do another OPK just on the off chance, and I got 0.84 and it’s marked “high”!! So then I took out my CB digital and did that to compare and see if they were on the same page, and I finally got the static smiley for peak fertility! 😊

Ps good luck for the results tomorrow 🤞🤞

Hey @klprr93 I think your test from today looks darker as well. I'm 6+3 now. With my tests the progression wasn't that huge day on day, it was subtle. But if I looked back over say 4 or 5 days I could see there was a big change, if that makes sense? Like 12 and 13 dpo were similar but 16dpo was much darker than 12dpo.

Hi all. Had my bloods done yesterday and my hcg was 50. Had them repeated today and will find out tomorrow if the pregnancy is viable and hcg is doubling each day. I am not going to get my hope up but thank you so much for the advice about the test I originally put on if you had not said it looked positive I would of carried on with the injections for a donor egg. I'm not sure if the tests are getting darker and whether hcg is increasing. The top one was this afternoon and the bottom this morning. I guess I need to wait till tomorrow and go from there.
