Posifrickentivity all round, with a good healthy dash of project desperate. New thread, new luck, new BFPs and Summer 2014 babies all round please! TTC after MC

[Sal1977]

Our brand spanking new thread full of luck, baby dust, BFPs and a few choice swear words.

The 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?

Yay anxious !!! Sit tight lovely, nothi g you can do now but wait it out!!

AF due tomorrow, but I'm of the not testing til the day AF is due brigade! Had a rise in temp today but feeling a bit campy I think not that I'm over analysing or anything stupid like that so not expecting a BFP this month!

One of the hairdressers at work pulled me aside this morning and gave me a crystal to help with my fertility I'll try anything which is a sweet thing to do. All the girls know the full situation and even cover for me when I 'nip out to the wholesaler' race home for a shag.

Yay! Fingers crossed overanxious

yay over that's fantastic news! as you say, even if it doesn't stick (but hopefully it will) at least you know that everything is in working order. great!

missp and sal that's sounding hopeful... will have my fingers crossed for both of you for the next couple of days.

Congrats over I'm keeping everything crossed for you.

Good luck as well to those holding out for bfp in the next couple if days.

I'm still waiting for af...how boring. Saw some friends last night who cried when they heard about our 2nd miscarriage. Bit odd comforting someone who is crying for you, but still sweet I suppose.

Just popping in to congrats to over the next 8 weeks will be hard but remember today you are pregnant.

Thinking of you all, I know that it sounds trite but its true. Ttc is heartbreaking, FTC after a loss is even worse. Keeping my fingers crossed for lots more bfp in the next few weeks.

Congrats over, looks like you are on your way! My tests definitely got darker, and CB digis showed the right amount of weeks.
Fingers crossed for anyone waiting for AF.

Had a scan today and ok so far.

Congrats over and fab news about the scan nerdy.

Hopefully ov this weekend so been dtd every other day at the moment!

Thanks for the good wishes everybody, need all the luck I can get. I swore I wouldn't drive myself insane this time around but I have already started I am worrying myself sick already. Want to get DH to hide all my pg tests but then I will regret it and feel like I have no control.

I did an IC cheapie last night and this morning, and the line appears to be getting fainter (I know, I know!) so now I am predicting the worst...I must have done about 7 tests so far...they were def darker before. I just did a cb digital and it says pregnant 1-2 weeks, which is correct because I am only due on my period today or tomorrow at the latest. How do I stop obsessing? I need to not test for at least 2 days but I just can't help myself...can anyone offer any advice?

I am also so ill atm with a horrendous cough and cold, been up basically all night on the iPad, currently sitting on the sofa watching coronation street. Insomnia doesn't help the worrying thoughts whizzing through my head either.

Hope everyone is doing okay, and brimming with posifrickintivity.

Hi over. it is completely normal to feel like this. I know this is easy for me to say, but step away from the tests! As awful as it is at this stage what will be will be. Will you be given an early scan? Perhaps contact your midwife for support? Whatever you do keep in talking anout it. There is always someone to listen here. I will keep everything crossed for you (except my legs or I will never get s BFP)

Sorry to hear )

oops dropped phone and posted too early. What I was about to say was sorry to hear you are still waiting on AF sundance. Me too. it is the pits

over congrats! and as others have said, it shows everything's working which is good....

sundance keeping my fingers crossed for you that AF turns up soon, I know so much how you feel......

over. Hang on in there. As someone said previously today you are pregnant - focus on that. Hugs.

sundance. I hope AF comes soon and you can get going again

Well AF due today and nothing - no spotting and temp had a big rise this morning. I am technically 10dpo and got a BFN this morning. Bought a first response but turns out it wasn't an early one. Scared to get my hopes up but just maybe! B

oh missp that's sounding so hopeful!!!!

over hang in there. there's nothing to be done at this point, it's just a waiting game now. So hard not to worry.... i've got no helpful advice to stop the worrying except to keep yourself busy. Hard when you're feeling rubbish.

Last night my friends were talking about how lonely it is to be an only child. made me feel really sad for my DD. oh I so want to give her a sister. or brother. freudian slip there, but it's true that I would prefer a girl . although would be happy with anything obviously! come on body.

Fingers crossed missp sounds good

Thanks everyone, I know there's not much I can do just so hard not to obsess. Been looking at my data and I don't think I ovulated until day 17/18 and today is day 30 so I am possibly only 12dpo. If AF doesn't arrive tomorrow then I am officially late as I never go over 29/30 days. Praying and keeping everything crossed!

Interestingly I did have a few changes to my regular ttc routine this month. Now I am not suggesting you all go out and get antidepressants because I'm certain that's not good advice! But I can't help but think they did have a positive effect on my mental state as this has been the calmest, tear free month I've had this year. I have stopped taking them since the BFP as advised. We also didn't start dtd until cd14 (then 15,16,17 and 18) as we always start every other day from cd8 usually. I also stopped taking any pregnacare tablets etc and just took plain old folic acid every day and evening primrose oil from days 1-15. I also gave up religious temping and was just taking it occasionally for pure interest but I never really noticed any significant changes, although its now always around 36.9/37.2. But who knows, I will never know, and it may not even work out, just thought I'd share.

Missp...temp rise sounds promising...I really hope you get a BFP.

Oh and I also spent lots of time cuddling my best friends newborn baby as someone once said on here it's meant to stimulate something somewhere!! X

Thanks for the best wishes folks. AF still missing in action. I don't have any tests in house so won't test in the morning. Or can you keep FMU until after lunch when the shops open or do the hormones leave pee when they hit the air??? (maybe a stupid question).

Probably best to leave until 12dpo on Monday.

alyant. I know what you mean about not wanting DD to be an only child. I hope it happens for you really soon.

sal. How are you getting on?

Congrats over that's so exciting! But appreciate how scared you must be feeling. Try step away from the sticks as will only drive yourself crazy looking at line darkness.

Fx for you too miss p

Still no spotting as yet (AF due today) but I'm defo feeling cramps so expect to wake up to the old trashed PJs trick!

To be honest I'm really frightened of getting PG again.

Congrats over, so exciting. As a fellow uni-tuber, ikwym that it'll be a big relief to know the other tube is ok. And if you have a womb pg after ectopic it makes the likelihood of another ectopic far less.

Thanks for the reassurance that I'm not being a cow about the scan thing everyone.

Funny, maybe tmi, story-I've been constantly horny for a week, which is both very distracting and very unusual for me. I'm really wondering if it's the maca I've been taking. Maybe worth a shot for others feeling overwhelmed by the shagathon?

Totally natural to be scared Sal, you've been through such a lot.

Any news today sal? Completely natural to be scared and my experience of pg after mc was that I was also really scared until I had my 3rd scan at 22 weeks. Hopefully once you see that BFP you will also be really pleased and hopeful. There is hope. x

Bleurgh. Faint BFP just now with a 3 second wee squirted out with the taps running to encourage it! It's a bit of a squinter but DH said its defo there. Will do another one tomorrow. The first words out his mouth were "here we go again babe..."

Wow Sal that sounds like great news we really are in sync haha. What test did you use? Fingers crossed x

Seaside...make the most of your new found hornyness haha.

I did another test this morning and the line came up much quicker and quite a bit darker too, which is making me feel more positive however I know really it can mean fuck all! I am also officially 'late' now as still no AF and today is cd31.

I want to go to drs straight away to get referred for a scan as soon as I hit 6 weeks (if I make it that far) to check pregnancy is in the correct place. Terrifed of a repeat ectopic, although when I was pg with ectopic I still had a period so at least period is staying away so far.

X

Haha, yeah we really are in sync! We're not talking about it in our house...

If you would like to swap, I would love a bfp ;)
10 cycles since mc and still not got over that first hurdle

Although I will be bricking it if an when it ever ever happens...
