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

[alyant79]

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?

I hope your scan puts your mind at ease, fod, and proves that you don't need to worry. I'm sure everything's fine, but it's good that you have a scan tonight to calm your fears. Xxx

Having a proper pity party here today. Bitter and twisted and raging against the world.

Good luck this evening Fod, we'll all be thinking of you and waiting to hear the outcome! Xx

Keep us posted on how you get in fod - thinkin of you!

My mc was on march 4th, I was 12+3....2 days before my first scan! So, not including the 5 week wtf cycle it's taken 5 attempts, my edd was sept 13th so I was all set to see that come and go.

Don't feel at all pg though, told my parents today and they were happy but obviously really worried too. Trying to stay positive but I'm a natural worrier sadly.

I know how f-ing annoying it is when people say to "relax, don't try so hard", but this last successful attempt was almost a write-off for me, I drank way too much and ate whatever I wanted as opposed to the usual strict ttc regime so in my case I think the more laid back approach worked for me. Bird poop - it must have been the bird poop!!

My EDD was 13 sept too. :(

The month you conceived, how much dtd did you do? As I am starting to think we try too much. Both times I've been pregnant it was from having sex 2 to 3 times during what I thought was fertile period (pre opks) and when trying hard we have been doing it much more and I think that's actually not helping us. Perhaps wearing dh's swimmers out. So am going for less is more this cycle and hopefully land ov day with it

Ps aly I forgot we were the same person!! Yes, also shitting it here about the second dc. It appears that people either take ages to conceive #2 or it happens pretty much immediately. I'm clearly in former bracket and stressing me out :( .

hey fedup i don't need to write posts anymore, since everything you say applies to me too .

we did the relaxed approach this month and although AF still hasn't arrived i'm now getting some spotting so she's on her way for sure. It was nice not stressing too much about dtd on the right day.
I'll be away for ov day this next cycle so am hoping that getting swimmers up there early - in a relaxed manner of course - will be enough.
I'm also going to follow seaside's example and put my dates in DH's diary so that he can start to make a bit of an effort.

sal and over i'm really sorry that AF got you today - i'll be joining the pity party tomorrow. right now i'm sticking my head in the door...

GOOD LUCK FOD!!!!!!!!
and remember if the worst does happen (which it won't) you WILL get through it. you are a strong woman and can cope with anything. It will not destroy you.

Sod the relaxed approach then!! If it didnt work for my double then why would it for me?! ;) however af is not officially there for you yet so am thinking it still could have worked!!

it must help with the sanity / relationship / tiredness factor though so am giving it a go this month and then will no doubt enjoy getting af smack bang in the middle of my holiday when wearing a light coloured bikini bottoms

My post has disappeared. Will write a short one now.

fod fx for your scan this evening.

We are going with more is better approach this time. Though both times we have conceived, it has been from 2/3 times before ov.

Really hope it is good news for you fod, fx.

Boo to the AFs. Weird how many of us seem to be in sync now.

I think I read that DTD every other day means better sperm quality compared to every day, they need a bit of recovery time. So I guess it depends on whether you are going for a quantity or quality strategy! I'm going to try and wait a few extra days before commencing the shagathon this cycle. I think we start too early and then burn out so we don't do it enough around peak time.

I don't need to put my OV dates in DH's diary. I just swap my frumpy ancient cotton pjs for my silk nightie for a few days and he gets the message

penguin that made me laugh. Got images of sauntering down the stars in your nightie (although have no clue what you look like) and beckoning DH upstairs or DH about to drift off to sleep and you fling back the covers revealing sexy nightie and no sleepy time required!!

Haha penguin. I have a really bad habit of putting my pyjamas on when I get in from work if we're not going out! My DH always knows he's gonna get lucky when I get changed out of my work clothes into something nice!

I take it back about my first AF being ok. The second day had been awful. Ibuprofen and paracetamol did nothing. I have now resorted to codeine, which the hospital gave me to take home after my miscarriage. Feeling very sorry for myself.

Been for a private scan today, babys heartbeat still going strong and he measures 9wks and 4 days, still got go hospital tomorrow but the sonographer thinks its something to do with my uterus... It's a weird shape apparently x

fod I'm so glad to hear all is well with your little one. Fingers crossed hospital can offer more answers and reassurance.

That's good news Fod, I've been waiting for news all evening! X

Yay, Fod. x

sundance. Congratulations so so happy for you.
fod great news re scan.

My EDD is 15th Sep. so Pretty sure I am going to see it pass with no joy. I have been trying out wedding dresses so pretty sure a bump isn't going to be a suitable accessory.

Still lurking though. Keeping up temping and acupuncture.
You better all be up duffed by the time we try again properly. Xxx

Thanks so much ladies I really appreciate all your support I was so frightened, it's such a bloody roller coaster!! There was a young couple in there and I was so envious of their ignorance xxx

Ah that's great news fod I knew it was going to be ok! My friend has a funny shaped uterus too - heart shaped in fact - and is currently pregnant with her third (no, of course I'm not at all jealous) and has bled in all 3 pregnancies but all totally fine!

Great news fod! Hopefully you csn get a good nights kip.

My EDD was 18th sept- it's also when my next AF is due ... Here's to lots of bfp in the next few weeks.

I'm also thinking less dtd this month - times I've got pregnant before have been when we only dtd a couple of times ... But I do get anxious now that it's not enough even though it probably is!!

Oh phew fod I'm so relieved for you. Hope tomorrow's appointment is equally reassuring.

Oh fod that's so great. Excellent excellent news.

Bezza I'm sorry your af is so bad. Think of it as a good clear out.

Ps missp you know the best way to get pg is prob to buy a wedding dress with no room to grow

fod I'm so happy for you

fod really great news ! you are edging closer and closer to the 12 wk mark. Not much time to go :)

aly that made me laugh, but you are so right. Probably that is the best way for missp to increase her chances of getting pg. What about you? Is AF still staying away? How are the temps doing?

Its true most of us our pretty synchronised here now - so is there anyone poas this Friday? Its always nice to wake up on a Friday and get some good bfp news!

AF still hasn't made an appearance, although i'm still spotting a little bit. Temp is also still lowish so i'm sure she'll show up. 2 days late now but i'm sure i'm not pg - i think this might have been an almost-almost-bean
