New year, new thread, fresh start and a brand spanking new injection of a hot new batch of posifrickenity! This is the year where our wombs will be comfy and our babies plentiful! TTC after MC.

[Sal1977]

2014. The year of the rainbow baby. We pledge to be positive (most of the time). We pledge to cry less, shag more and swear lots. This is the one wannamummabees!

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?

Haha! When I worked in London, I remember sitting next to a girl on the train who was reading the same book as me and we were on the same page! Obviously I had to mention it to her then it was really awkward when we were turning the pages...like a reading race!!! Haha
Then another time I did a little silent trump just as the train was pulling in but it must have got trapped under my long coat so when I took my cost off to sit down, it was like a biological terrorist attack.

Ha ha Sal - at least you were in a crowd, I hoped you looked accusingly at the nearest man! Sorry for the lack of bfp, hopefully you'll get a fat line on Friday.

My progesterone was also around 44, I'd been worried it was low too - doc said over 30 is good.

You can just cut a normal aspirin into quarters apparently triple, and take one each day instead of baby aspirin.

at tampons - expensive way of rummaging, no? I can never wait until af, i always test. And it's always gutting. Will temp fromnow on so at least I get some warning as I've given up symptom spotting. My symptoms are currently light-headedness, hungry all the time (because it's freezing) and tiredness (because I was hungover yday). But I'm on af...if I weren't I'd be getting my hopes up!

Triple apparently its not 'baby' specific aspirin, just a low dose you need. Less than 75mg i read somewhere. So chopping a regular one wil prob do, although I think most pharmacies will sell a low dose one too.

Penguin I use Fertility Friend to chart mine. Just make sure you get a basal body temp thermometer, not a regular one.

Laughing at the sneaky fart on the train!! haha . Hoping its just too early for your bfp to show Sal.

Since the ice has been broken, melted and evaporated off a good while ago, can I ask an AF question? Do you get red blood throughout, or red then brown? I only get red the first couple of days, then brown spotting, and I'm sure it wasn't like this before the EP but I can't really remember - those were the days when I didn't pay it any attention...

The last day of my AF is normally reddy/brown and very light

Soooo, symptom obsessing spotting this afternoon has included being so so tired, like breathless when you climb the stairs tired rather than fall asleep in your soup tired. I have a sense of smell my dog would envy. Nauseous, bleaugh. And obsessively looking at the symptom checker and HPT gallery on Countdown to Pregnancy.

MissP will you become Ms or Mrs P once you're hitched? We need to know!

Baby aspirin is 75mg from boots or supermarket, when you buy them they might ask you about why you want them. I give a Paddington Bear stare and say that it is under the advice of my doctor. Seems to work!

Triple I am taking all sort of quack stuff, including Royal Jelly, which was to work on getting a nice fertile and rich lining after my last 2 MCs. I also take Maca root, pomegranate extract, omega 3,6,9, vit c, vit b complex, folic acid, pregnacare, aspirin. And progesterone at the moment.
Shake me and I rattle!

AF for me is brown, red, then brown again. my last one was good and heavy, soaking a tampon in 45 mins (Sorry, I know that is deffo TMI)

Also, Boots has 3 for 2 deals on ALL supplements at the mo, so good time to stock up!

If you're going to try some (vitamin) supplements get one for DP too ?
It might just possibly have made a difference with us (years ago now but you popped up in active convos)
Just wishing you all luck for the New Year - I remember those POAS days very well, and your OP made me laugh!
Love your word posifrickentivity or variants thereof

I'm brown then red then brown spotting.

Thanks ladies, I feel more normal now

Wow tanny, I think you're the supplement queen! Maybe it all helps with the get pg-quick thing, which I am seriously struggling with. Just about to add vit b to my list. Was considering evening primrose too, but I think the conceive + will do the job faster.

Like a rubbish tragic light I am light brown, red, RED and then v light but dark red/brown. Usually over in 4-5 days

Monday blues not being helped by AFs slow but steady entrance, more spotting now but no cramping (that was yesterday weirdly).

Overkill? Slightly? Just a tad? no wonder my pee is fluorescent At the moment I'd pop a pill of sheep's testicle extract if I thought it'd do any good!

Can't really hurt I guess tanny - you'll just be pleasantly surprised by how cheap a baby is compared to trying to conceive one!

Boo hiss for the traffic light's arrival parsley

Since its TMI and haveagoodoldrootaround day, just had an expedition and have a spot of brown goo. Defo sign of old wankbags imminent arrival of course I'm thinking implantation on my chicken sized mind!!

Right. I've had just about enough of this. I'm thinking collective anti-witch dance? If everyone gets up and does it at the same time, hopefully she'll get the message and fuck off sal. Appropriate dance moves should involve much thrusting of middle fingers in the air.

Sal and Seasides it's just as well I'm in an empty office checking MN and Countdown To Pregnancy and FF working today, you made me do a very unladylike snort of laughter!

Haha, just trying to imagine what my office (40+ people, open plan) would think/do, if I got up and started some kind of anti-AF voodoo dance

Feeling a bit more light-hearted now, as I'm also thinking that the red tide of doom is on its way... Thank you!

Thank you ladies on baby aspirin. Guess I need it when u get my bfp which means not anytime soon.

Tanny that is some concoction you are having. I can't even swallow pregnacare! Has got the male version for dh and after two months he is only half way.

Oh no parsley. Has the witch arrived for you or could it be implantation.

Sal I hope it's implantation bleed for you. I read it is normally brown. Especially as your temp is still up, it can't be AF.

seaside I am the same 1 day spotting / brown 2 red then brown again. I think it just indicates how quickly it gets from womb to outside world.

I am starting to think a root around might be cheaper than a tampon!!! It does hurt a little coming out but it also suck poas with hopes up only to get slapped in face

tanny. Think it will have to be MRS P. lol.

Totally stressed out and have had runs today and bit of spotting so would say the witch is going to get me. A wedding baby would have been lovely. Sigh. Sigh.

sal fx implantation. Temps were sounding good.

sal I sincerely hope it is not the witch!

Still no proper AF here but been feeling 'movement' down there all day, mainly just normal discharge but some tinged brown/pink trying desperately not to fixate on IB even tho I had these exact symptoms with last BFP
Feeling too grotty for it to be anything other than the crimson wave.

Parsley, it's hard not to get hopes up. But if you had similar symptoms last time, then don't give up hope just yet. If AF is due in the weekend then this could definitely be implantation related fx.

Sorry to those who feel AF is coming. I've been getting more cramps today so I think AF is coming to visit me soon as well. I do still have a glimmer of hope but less convinced I might be pg now. I know I had cramps last time about a week before AF was due and I got the BFP but I'm feeling more that it's AF.

On Wednesday it will be 4 weeks since my miscarriage bleeding started. I just want to get through this next week and know what's coming my way. AF or BFP

Anti-AF dance sounds like a good idea!!

God I'm finding all this spotting / prodding and finding brown gunk / tinged cm quite stressful and it's not even me! Take that in a good way as I so want it to be bfps for you and hoping its implantation. Come on bodies, make a fabby home for those beans...

Dreading what I'm going to be like in two weeks ish if I feel all nervous for you ladies now!!

Can I add prodding my bbs to the list. Unfortunately nothing to report, not even the slight soreness or twinge. Can't wait for AF to arrive on Monday.

I'm getting really fed up waiting to see ovulation on FF! No opks left... I have a feeling this could be an anovulatory cycle! I feel like my body is laughing at me!! I dont think i'd even mind a bfn if I knew my body had at least ovulated!!

Confession time. I poas today and BFN. Silly really, I've never tested early before I had the mc so I shouldn't really start now!! But maybe now I can stop imagining symptoms symptom spotting like a mad woman and just wait it out. AF due on Sunday if it has all gone back to normal after mc. I will probably poas on Friday as well anyway. That's within the rules.

Throw a big trout at me
