Posifrickentivity all round, with a good healthy dash of project desperate. New thread, new luck, new BFPs! TTC after MC

Come one, come all and join our rollicking new thread with slightly updated brand new 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?

Bfn for me as expected. However had a big dip in my temp this morning, so hoping AF is on its way, so I can get on with things!

Good luck to the rest!

Just been staring at the stick for the last 20 mins.... BFP.

Crikey. It's my mums 60th today, wondering whether to tell her or if it might just make her panic about another mc?

And another bfn makes three. I also had a temp dip so I expect AF will turn up on my wedding anniversary. Great.

Arse bugger bollocks. I really thought this was going to be our month! Sad

Come on sundance, you are our last hope!

Oh bugger, so sorry penguin, fedup & triple. Really had my fx for all of you.

If its worth anything at all, I'd say we eased off a bit this last couple of months, I ov'd on the 7th, and DTD from 4th-8th only. I just took those pregnacare conception vitamins and that seemed to be enough this time. I also got really pissed twice, so I'm advocating the more 'relaxed' effort.

Not out of the woods by any means yet. Had my 21 day bloods taken which I still need to get the results of, if it shows low progesterone I could be in trouble. I really had to go in and cry on the doctor to push for those.
Wishing for some more bfp's today...and I have a very strong feeling about this thread, it's going to be a lucky month. Xxx

YAYYYYY sundance YAYAYAYAYAYAYY

And a big fat resounding BOO for the other bfns. I was sooo sure that someone else was going to get a bfp. gah, it's such a fucker. Angry

over, fedup and triple you are describing me almost perfectly too. Recently i've been getting slightly better though - instead of thinking about it 24 hrs a day, sometimes I have even a whole half day where it doesn't cross my mind at all! Right now i'm in the second half of the 2ww so i'm at my worst obsessive state. I hate the rollercoaster - right now i'm feeling cautiously optimistic because my temp this morning was the highest that it's ever been, and has been very erratic (a good sign i think?), but I know that by this afternoon i'll have crashed back the other way like i did yesterday, and be convinced that it's never going to happen. Talk about unstable.

Sundance that is fab- really really happy for you. Don't worry about 21 day test, if something does show up they can do things to protect this pregnancy.

penguin fedup & triple I'm really sorry bfn are heartbreaking, hopefully this one will be the last one for you all.

I saw my GP today and despite trying not to, I cried. Starting to wish I'd cried sooner. So now I don't have to wait 12 months. THIS month and next 2 cycles I will have a 21 day progrestrone test. If these still show low levels the GP will re-refer me to fertility clinic for clomid!!!!!! If they are all ok I will know waiting isn't piontless...........I feel so much better........

sundance congratulations - we finally have a confirmation !! I am sure it will be a lovely birthday surprise for your mum ! Good to know though that you only dtd around the possible ov dates. I don't think we can physically keep up every other day from the time AF disappears. Also find it hard with DC - as the only time we can do it is after he is asleep and he sleeps late due to the holidays !!

boo to the bfns - hopefully it will be our turn soon.

aly 2ww is so horrible. While temping is good, I wondering though whether every little spike increases the obsession even more. I hope its a lucky one for you next week! When is AF due? Would you need to wait till Friday to POAS or could potentially know earlier if AF doesn't arrive.

cosmic yay !! that is fantastic. I hope you get answers soon or at least one less thing to worry about.

I am waiting for AF to arrive so I can indulge myself with some retail therapy :)

Sad Boo to bfn for penguin, fedup and triple. How utterly shit. Hoping for good luck for you next month.

I also POAS this morning and unsurprisingly BFN although AF is not due for about 3/4 days.

Penguin, when is your wedding anniversary? Mine is on Sunday.

Really never even crossed my mind that I wouldn't even be pregnant/have a baby by now. My first MC was two weeks before my wedding and now it's almost my 1 year anniversary was hoping for a bfp at least.

Hoping some bfp's might make an appearance for somebody later!

cosmic yay! it's amazing what a few tears can do isn't it?

triple i'm 8DPO (i think) today which means af is due mondayish for me. But it's very slightly possible that i might only be 5/6dpo. So i'm going to try and not get excited if AF doesn't arrive, and hold out until friday for POAS. who am i kidding, of course i'll be excited if she doesn't show
I agree that temping might lead to more obsessiveness - but this month I didn't do ANYTHING else - no smep, no ov sticks, no preseed, so I think that one little obsession isn't too bad.

Right in my new positive frame of mind, I'm trying to find solutions to the problems TTC brings. I can't think of a way not to think about TTC. But I'm starting to think it's worth putting some effort into making sex more fun and less duty. Because TTC sometimes just kills that. Not sure how but I think we need more I want to sex, and less we have to cause its day x sex. Any ideas welcomed!!

Happy anniversary for Sunday over, mine is tomorrow.

So we are off to our swanky hotel this weekend and I am going to drink wine and eat blue cheese and say UP YOURS to that nasty BFN Grin

Fod I have suggested that to DH he looked horrified. To start with, (other than using preeseed and not leaving it too long without having sex) I think forgetting all the good/bad ttc sex advice will help.

Fed up of thinking about the right day, the right position and worrying if saliva will kill sperm. It makes all a bit clinical and tense. It also means we have less sex not more........not helpful.

alyant79 · 23/08/2013 13:04

good positivity penguin, i hope you get nicely sloshed :)

hmm cosmic no big ideas except the porn one that fod already suggested. I suggested that to DH once and he laughed in my face and looked at me like i was crazy - so maybe it was just me feeling like it was a chore Hmm.

what about trying out different positions??? get a karma sutra and make a game of it
