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?

nerdybird I am using fertility friend and haven't seen it make any odd changes so far. May be worth checking out too?

Yep, af's here. No practising with her around misschord! Love the thought of pinning a 'come and get it' badge to my PJs though! A big red cheesy sparkly heart one, with flashing lights...

That plays 'Lets get it on' when you press a button...

One to add to the project desperate list...

Yes. Absolutely. I think we should pitch them to MN as the start of their reproductive merchandise range!

Nice to see more BFP this week. seaside that's the spirit. Hope you have a nice camping holiday.

And I love the thought of booze having a positive effect on BFPs.

I'm onto the active BD week now. Because of my stupid CBFM which claims I'm on high fertility on day 8, we started our every other day from that day. I know it's too early, but then I don't want to chance it. You'd do the same, wouldn't you? Like normal, I'm feeling all hopeful now thinking this might be the month for us.

Drink to all having a positive week

Thanks triplespin, I'll look at that too.

Does anyone know how long ibuprofen's infertility effect lasts? Af's killing me, is it safe to take it when you're on?

seaside not sure, but I know ibuprofen is a definitely no no in pregnancy. But surely it couldn't last that long in the body? Given you have to take it 3 times a day?

Hello everybody - have been away on hols so just been catching up on this thread. Congrats to Sundance, Tomkat and to Fod for the excellent scan news. Fab to hear!

Sorry to all of those of you for whom AF has got. I hardly dare put this down in print but got a BFP yesterday. I actually got 5 BFPs because could not believe my eyes. I 've just been referred for fertility investigations and had 21 day bloods taken on Tues. Basically the only reason I tested so early was because I had 10 days of super dark lines on Internet OPKs and we were getting exhausted by all the shagging. Managed it 9 days in a row but must have ovved about a week ago and caught straight away. Or, and this is the bit I am terrified about, it's another ectopic and thus wasn't affected by my 7 day period which started on 7th August. I think I'm only about 7-9 DPO which seems far too early to get a BFP but doc didn't seem too concerned. I went to see him all in a panic and did another test in his surgery which came up straight away. I've had a blood test today then need to go again on Sat to EPU for more bloods to check to see if HgC has doubled. If not, it's probs another ectopic.

Part of me feels really sick, shaky and terrified and another part of me dares to hope it might be okay. Am terrified of losing another tube and will struggle massively if its another miscarriage. Anyways - thought I would share with you ladies since it's (nearly) POAS Friday. Am still in shock so feel free to fish slap at will - it might jolt me back to myself!

Forgot to add, I drank LOADS on holiday and ate a whole slab of Brie to myself. Might be something in the booze theory after all...

Wow, badhairday, congratulations! There is hope for us single-tubed ladies! Do you mind me asking, which TTC cycle was this for you?

Everything crossed for your test - although I don't think it's HgC that indicates ectopic, as mine doubled just as it should. It was a big bean when it came out for being stuck in a tube :-( But you have at least a 90% chance of everything being fine, so (though it's impossible and I know I will if when it ever happens again) try not to worry. Will they give you a scan soon to put your mind at ease? I was told to go straight in for one if I ever get pg again.

Also, mega impressed at managing it 9 days in a row!

badhairday I'm crossing everything for you !!.... This is definitely the scary bit! When we were in the EPU yesterday there was a young couple that could have been us back in feb, she was sat in the corner and had clearly been given some awful news... I wanted to run over to her and share my experiences and tell her it will get easier, instead your just left with a feeling of guilt because this time your bean (for the time being -i don't want to jinx anything- is ok)

I've work up with no nausea or sickness and im petrified something is wrong I should be 10 weeks tomorrow I just can't settle with this pregnancy I keep waiting for it all to go horribly wrong... It's fuvking torture

Yay for Tomkat and Badhair

So pleased for you both. x

Cd3 for me. Feeling Ughhh.

Booked in for reflexology today but earliest I could get in was Cd16 which is pretty much ov day so hoping it's not too late...not that it will work that soon anyway! (Wishful thinking)

Feels good to know I'm trying something different.

x

Thanks so much Seaside - am hoping so much it's good news. Particularly since I am a uni-tuber! I must be literally only just pregnant and doc has said they can't scan me until I'm six weeks, which is bloody ages away. Doc said that if its ectopic it won't double every 48 hours. Am well confused. My ectopic was at about 7 weeks and foetus had a heartbeat and everything and fully ruptured my tube which is why I lost it.

I had the tube removed on Christmas Eve, waited for one period then been trying ever since. Had a miscarriage at about 5 or 6 weeks on Easter Sunday so I guess that makes it 7 months trying? We have been trying REALLY hard though. So much so that I am sick of having sex. Thankfully I have a younger, virile Australian partner who is always willing to rise to the occasion!

Have had no symptoms whatsoever - and didn't with the ectopic or miscarriage - so am worrying like mad here. Also got a poorly boy lying in bed. At least it has stopped me stressing about my imminent return to teaching teenagers next week. Got alot more to be stressed about right now...

And thanks Fod and Over for your comments. Crossed posts! X

badhair that's great news!!!! Fantastic!!! Wow it's a bumper week.

So confused now!! How many times should we do it during fertile week?? How much should I drink????

badhair sorry didn't update page- totally understand how anxious you must be - but you've worked hard for this! 9 days in a row!!!! I have everything crossed that this will be a bean that is sticky in the correct place x

It sucks that getting pg isn't the relief it should be, but the odds are overwhelmingly in your favour badhair. But argh, 6 weeks is so long!

I've just finished cycle 3, though feels so much longer: ectopic was in Dec too, but we waited 2months, had one wtf cycle then took a break of 2 months.

Emki I'm going with every other day during fertile time, and not drinking during the week, but relaxing at the weekend. Might give the iPod another go this month to confirm if, or start temping again, but otherwise trying to chill out a bit more.

Lol. IPod?!! Bloody phone!! I meant opks!!

And ov not if. Hell's sake!

badhair wow that's fabbo news!! I've got everything crossed for you that this will be the one that sticks in the right place.

I have to say i'm glad that i don't have a cbfm, they seem to be missing ov for a whole bunch of you ladies.

emki the answer to your question is obviously sex= hardly at all, drink = loads.
That's going to be my plan next month as i'm going to be away from hubby at a work do for 5 days and will probably ov in the middle of that. hopefully either the swimmers will live a long time and i ov early, or I ov late and we catch the egg after it's been launched.
In reality i'm clearly out for next cycle.

ps AF still hasn't turned up but my temp was right right down to almost the lowest it ever gets today so she's bound to show up any minute. 2/3 days late now and still only a teensy tiny bit of spotting....

aly that is some willpower not to have tested...you must really not like fish!

badhairday are you a teacher too? Do you teach in secondary or FE?

seaside you made giggle A LOT!!
aly reckon you're right - maybe an immaculate drummed conception!

aly your will power is amazing - can I just ask .. I'm in second month of temping and on day 8 of cycle. My temp is still quite high same as in luteal phase .. Must admit I'm not good at doing it at the same time as keep in needing a pee early morning and then forget to take temp ... I'm quite confused by whole thing - however will set alarm now to do it before I need a pee ... Poor dh!!
