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?

oh no - i hope in that case that AF hurries up so you can start preparing for the next month !

Daisychain44 · 28/08/2013 10:07

similar situation here aly - AF due today / tomorrow (who knows - seems to have a life of it's own half the time!) but BFN this morning (not a Friday I know but AF day so still reckon I did pretty well waiting! Wink ) so looks like August was a another wash out. Humppph. Sept here we come!

alyant79 · 28/08/2013 10:44

fedup my uterus too is heart shaped, apparently the baby grows on one side and the other side doesn't think it's pregnant and therefore menstruates!!

Tomkat79 · 28/08/2013 11:03

So glad all well fod

BFP here this morning. ( I thought it was Friday)

BFFP!! Am in shock.

Did it once towards end of fertile week, very drunk. Didn't think would be but very hot and tingly boobs so thought would just test and see. I won't believe it and I'm not moving until I'm 39 weeks! x

fedupofrainydays · 28/08/2013 11:33

Congrats tomkat
So you are proof of my less is more theory!!!

Sorry for those of you who got af. Still hope for you aly until she flows

Glad you have some answers fod but I know it will still be scary to see blood.

alyant79 · 28/08/2013 11:39

wow tomkat!!!!!!
congrats! yet another advocate of the less-is-more technique then...

ps I don't believe for one minute that you thought it was friday.

Yay Tomkat Yay and triple yay! We've been trying and failing at the more chilled approach too, so fx that's the charm!

I'm not even going to pretend my hopes aren't massively up: I poas this morning thinking yesterday was 10 days p.o (I'll take all the fish, I deserve it. I have no excuse), and BFN. But then in the shower I had af-back pain, and now I have dark brown blood - but af's not due until at least Friday. Is this...could this be implantation bleeding?

I'm going to wait until Friday to poas again, I promise, and I really hope I'm not disappointed. We're going away for my birthday this weekend and I so want good news to leave with!

Daisychain44 · 28/08/2013 13:24

ha ha ha ha!

congratulations Tomkat - great news. Glad there was another positive at the back of this bus! timing and luck is "all" it seems to require!!!!! (if only planning and obsessing were the pre-requisites - arrgghhhhh!)

Daisychain44 · 28/08/2013 13:29

oops - not the "bus" thread - getting myself confused!

alyant79 · 28/08/2013 13:31

i'm now convinced that it's all luck. I bet you could do it once in the fertile week or ten times and if it's going to happen it'll happen, regardless.

oooh seaside i hope it is IB! but here's a slap with a cod for being naughty.

fod27 · 28/08/2013 13:55

tomkat we got caught exactly the same way! Well apart from being drunk it was a naughty quickie in the inlaws bathroom whilst they were out hahaaa and we were standing!! Go figure.....

Really pleased for you! I too have spent as much time as poss since my BFP on my back ;)

Bezza2508 · 28/08/2013 14:17

So pleased your scan went well Fod. Have you had a date for your 12 week scan yet? I have a weird uterus too....mine is bicornuate. Some people called that heart shaped but mine is more pronounced with two definite 'horns'. One side of mine is also bigger than the other.

Congrats tomkat. Very exciting to have another thread BFP.

cosmickitten · 28/08/2013 14:22

tomkat congratulations :-)

triplespin · 28/08/2013 14:45

tomkat wonderful news ! seaside fx for you.

Aah daisychain, I know what you mean, if only planning was a prerequisite. It seems all down to luck. After all this news, I am going to abort my more is better plan with immediate effect !

fod27 · 28/08/2013 16:53

bezza that's what she called it bicornuate.... We have a scan booked for the 20th sept but that'll make me 13 weeks although I think I'm going to try to sneak anther one in before then

Yay for BFPs for sundance and tomkat!

Glad to see we have good news, and a good scan for fod too. Hope everyone who has AF isn't having too bad a time.

I am in the 2ww. AF due next thursday it seems. I am not so anxious about it this month. I guess I've already resigned myself to it being a BFN, whereas last month I really thought I might be pregnant. Just don't think we did it enough at the right time for it to have worked.

On the brightside, I am now registered with a doctor, and I've got an appointment next week for an acupuncture consultation.

NerdyBird · 28/08/2013 19:26

Hmm. Just checked the Clue app I'm using to track my cycle, and it's inexplicably moved everything back by three days! So now it has me as expecting AF on monday, on a 33 day cycle. Last ones were 36 and 34. I didn't put in any new data so am confused!

Emki · 28/08/2013 19:37

Yay for tomkat great news xxxxx fingers crossed for aly and seaside

I

Tomkat79 · 28/08/2013 21:57

That's really odd nerdy. I've always used the Period Tracker app and it seems to be spot on. Had to re tweak the dates though as after MC it obviously gave me a much longer average monthly cycle xx

SeasideLily · 28/08/2013 22:06

Think my hopes for IB are over - blood is getting redder. Think it's just an early af, which is unusual for me :-(

Oh well, you can't go camping without booze anyway. Bring on the weekend.

misschord · 28/08/2013 23:59

Oh, sorry Seaside, get some practice in while you are away!

Penguin - love the silk nightie = ovulation idea. I don?t think I have a silk nightie, but do you think if I made a big badge and pinned it to my pyjamas that would do?

fod so pleased that everything is OK.

Yay Tomkat, but big slaps for you!

Slightly temp rise today and we have been DTD madly over the last few days so fx.

Sundance2007 · 29/08/2013 00:16

tomkat - congratulations, that's fantastic news. Yaaay!!

And ladies, take note of the getting pissed stories too!! Obviously has slightly more of a positive effect than the NHS would have us believe.

I've just checked, I DTD a total of 7 times last cycle, which was probably above average for us! Starting 5 days after af had gone, consecutively, right through to one day after my ov date. All a bit tricky as my cycles varied from 23-29 days.
First time I got pg though, we DTD just 3 times, in December (more booze!) and it worked.

NerdyBird · 29/08/2013 08:51

This morning Clue has me on 34 days... It's very odd. I will check out period tracker if it's worked for you tomkat
