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?

Morning all!!
Feeling very meh this morning. Was expecting a temp rise that would indicate ov, but no. My body is an arsehole.
It leads me into a false sense of security with a rise and then dips right back down again. FF has no chance of detecting ov!
Just want AF to come now! I'm fed up of waiting for my body to rectify itself.
I was only 5+2 when I lost, -tive test a week after bleeding started. I thought my body would settle quickly.

english it's so frustrating isn't it. The one month I temped it drove me insane - I concluded it was a very slow riser and when ff finally decided to show ov it was about 4 days earlier! Alyant, one of this thread grads had FF showing no ovulation for a long time after she actually ov'd and that was the month she got her bfp and left us! So all is not lost...

Welcome back handsfull and smack in the 2 ww. Eeek. Good luck.

So... I'm on train craving a bacon sandwich at 6.45 am, must be pregnant right?! Think I've just tipped over the edge into the 2 ww. God (or wine) help me.

English, it will come. I know its frustrating. Maybe drink some raspberry leaf tea and get a session of reflexology? They can stimulate 'that area' - well, the corresponding area on your heal - and its very relaxing.

I am going for a reflexology session this evening as a treat. I also have acupuncture weekly. Honestly, I have no idea whether it 'works', but there is a lot to be said for feeling like you're taking some control back over your situation and also a lot to be said for setting time aside to lie down in a darkened room for an hour a week. It has really helped me with my ability to relax. The acupuncture does hurt very slightly and there are very occasional bruises. But, my hair has become greasier (weirdly) which I am taking as a good sign that my lady hormones are doing their thing a little bit more than they were before. My cycle is regular but AFs short, although this month I managed 3 days then one day gap (thought it was finished) and then one more day (anyone else have something like that?). I think it's progress.

I have now booked a holiday for April, so I expect that I will get a BFP and be too afraid to fly... hmmm. Clearly the alternative therapies have not made me any less bonkers.

English I think temping would send me over the edge! I found it weird enough using opk to tell me when to commence shagathoning...

I am now full of cold, and I think it's upset my stomach a bit. All the confidence that my super fertility and SMEPing had me upduffed, and I was already feeling nauseous, has been swept away. I think I'm feeling ill because I am ill.

Or not.

Bloody hell. Role on POAS Friday and some end to this...

Morning guys. Well it's the wedding day. Exciting.

AF arrived in abundance - TMI big clots had to sit on toilet for 1/2 hour. Hope it slows down by ceremony at 3pm. Going to be codeined up today.

Dam it I wanted to be an up duffed bride.

see you all when I am a MRS.
PS I couldn't write my stats as the thought of putting it in black & white again made my lip quiver. I know I need to man up.

Good luck MissP! You'll have an amazing day, despite the bitch arriving!! Enjoy every minute because it really does fly by!!

Miss soon to be Mrs P have a wonderful day!

It's no consolation, but I was pg for my wedding and felt really on edge a lot of the time. I hope this way you can focus on the day and if you drink, have a few glasses of bubbly....

MissP Have a wonderful day, forget about the whole ttc business for a little while and enjoy it!

Just Very of your reflexology - I love it! I had it when I was pg with DS, to try and bring on labour, and it was just wonderful. I know I'm weird, but I love having my feet massaged (constantly requesting foot massages from DH). I just wish I could have it now, so cross with the GP for not signing the consent form!

Someone needs to tie my hands behind my back, please! I nearly caved in and poas this morning... Soooo tempted! 13 DPO today, and my temps are staying up. How do I muster the willpower to wait until tomorrow?! Argh!
(On the downside, I've got a backache this morning, so it's not impossible that the red tide of doom still waits behind the corner...)

jbrd. Go for it. Poas. Why not. All you are going to get us a fish slap. 13dpo is good time to test. Fx

MissP hope you have a wonderful day. Cherish it!

Can't wait to poas tomorrow. I'm nervous and excited. No further spotting or bleeding since I had some brown blood in my cm 2 days ago. It feels impossible not to get my hopes up. Roll on poas Friday!

MissP have a wonderful day, make it all about you and your soon to be DH. Kick the stupid witch in to touch and try to forget all about it. Hope it all goes brilliantly!

sounds good jbrd!! I don't know if I could wait if I was you!! FX for you!!

missp have a AMAZING day and that stupid witch can fuck right off (or at least be less painful) for your ceremony. Just think about honeymoon (ish) babies you can make :)

Good luck MissP. Have a brilliant day. Boo hiss to af x

fedup I am ravenous today too. Must be a sign

Lots of positive sounding poas-ers tomorrow fx

missp have a wonderful day! Look forward to hearing all about it.

MissP have a wonderful day, drink lots of champagne and forget all about TTC nonsense

JBrd just go for it, we won't throw fish, honest

Yeah, yeah, you always say that, and then the fish come flying!

Anyway, I'm at work now, so actually can't test. Might think about it again tonight, but then it's probably better to do fmu. Decisions, decisions!

TMI alert.... Just went for a wee, browny/watery cm. Weird! My body is playing games. I f this is pre-af spotting this is the looking to be the shortest cycle i've ever had!! Thought they were usually longer if anything after mc/cp!!
Obviously now i'm thinking it could be i/b! Some one send a fish my way just for thinking that!!

Have an amazing wedding day MissP cherish every moment and have a celebratory glass of your favourite tipple. Sorry to hear AF crashed the party like the unwanted gatecrasher she is. I'm raising a glass my mug of redbush to you both.

English I can't throw a fish at you cos I'm in the same boat! I had a day of brown coloured cm on Tuesday where it was just once when I wiped. Two days prior I had noticed 2 pin-drops of similar. This was on cd25-27 in my first cycle post mc. I usually have 30-34 day cycles. First I thought it must be implantation bleed (I also had weird cramps before the stuff on Tuesday appeared) then tried to talk myself out of it and put it down to weird pre-AF spotting following mc (which I've never had before). However, I've has nothing since so I'm finding it impossible to convince myself it's anything other than implantation bleed.

Where are you in your cycle? Are you poas tomorrow?

Sounds like half of you will be leaving us tomorrow! So exciting, hope we have a bumper fertile Friday.

On phone so can't check who asked, but I've been having a day break halfway through af recently. Not this month though, which I'm putting down to the agnus castus.

Happy wedding day missP ! Have a wonderful day, I hope it's a corker, filled with champagne :-)

Dh is away next week for the two night when I expect ov, so frustrating! Going to get an afternoon shag in to try and catch it.

Statistically SOMEONE has to get a BFP tomorrow, there's so many POASers! But obv I hope everyone does!

Fwiw - the month of my BFP I had brown spotting for about a week on and off in the lead up to expected AF and then nothing. Obviously that didn't end well, so maybe not worth recounting but anyway!

My best friend had her baby last night. Bittersweet emotions about it all now it's finally happened. Majority happy and excited to meet her, main non-happy feeling is actually not baby envy but very selfish sadness that I am inevitably going to lose her time & attention - she's the only one of my main RL friends who's been any use since the MC. Lucky I still have you guys!

Deuse I'm on cd24 now. Never had mid-cycle spotting except when I had my BFP last time.
I'm just going to wait and see. Normally have a 30day cycle so will hold out to poas next week. Are you going to tomorrow? It's so tempting. Especially when I have a stash of i/c's!
Stomach is doing very weird things in the last few days, twinges and gurgling like mad!!
Fx it's not the witch lurking - for both of us!!
