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?

Eeek, be firm!? I have terrible butterflies. What the hell is wrong with me?! I am a strong, confident woman and I just want a couple of blood tests, right? I CANNOT believe be I am so nervous.

Chin up and tits out champagne (that seems to have become a bit of a mantra on here!)

Think confidence. The GP will be more likely to give you what you want if you're confident and factual about it all. We're all behind you!

I'd you don't ask you don't get!

English - I've aghast given myself the fall , bfn this morning (way too early to test I know), and work was dead so just didn't all day brooding, have come home early and an hung to make dribble bibs for my friend I'm going a bit overboard on presents for her and new little one as a replacement for not having my own

already and spent.

fucking phone!

Suddenly hit by the blues this afternoon that I am nearly 2 years into this ttc lark and I have nothing to show for it except one dead baby. Worrying it is just never going to happen for me & DH.
We're back of the queue NHS fertility wise too now. I don't know what to do.

Fish slaps please!

It WILL happen, for all of us! Look at the BFP's today! Us next!

Right, I'm back.

It was a bit of a letdown tbh. I was utterly useless and cried. The GP was lovely, too young, female and sympathetic.

She more or less said that as I have fallen pregnant easily in the past, I probably will again, but if I haven't within the next couple of months, then come back for blood tests. She said that as the MC was straightforward then it is unlikely to have left me with any problems.

To be honest, I am pretty sure that I am ovulating and my annoyingly long 16 day LP and raised temperatures, suggest that I don't have a progesterone issue. I'm not sure what I was expecting. I can't really work out whether I am reassured or annoyed. I just feel a bit flat

I am currently having a dry January but I might cave this evening and have a

Feel free to slap me with a fish...

Have a slap too champagne (shall we start specifying species of fish? I'll start with a tuna!)

It's crap when you feel down about it all, we all have shit moments when all seems doom and gloom. But, as your GP said, things are in your favour. It's the frustration which is the killer I find - I want to be DOING something. We're all brilliant, successful woman (woo, gimme an American high-five!) but this is one of the only things totally outwith out control and it's the sodding pits.

I too was doing dry January, I too have caved (last week!) I'm tucking into a rather naice bottle of pluck right now. Cheers to all of us

Wowee!! Congratulations ladies, what fab news, have we ever had 3 in one week before? Not as far back as I can remember. Fx for anyone else POAS today but really sorry to those with bfn. Next month!!

So, today we put our house on the market. Eek! The sign went up in the garden this morning, and we are officially on the hunt for a new house. Can't wait for the fresh start. This week has been rather stressful trying to get the house tidy enough for those bloody pics, I can honestly say I've earned the gin and tonic I'm currently sipping.

Just entered the shagathon week - I laughed when I read some of you have been going for 10 times...that's probably about 3 or 4 months worth of shagging for us I'm ashamed to say!!

How did you get on over?

I caved yesterday, and the day before... and last weekend. No more wine til February!

I'm actually narked on your behalf champagne. A blood test is so cheap, I've been given them without a second thought and the same tests should be available to everyone. Don't beat yourself up about crying either, I do most times I go, no matter how much I try not to.

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you, but it's not hard to see why it would be important to know for sure.

Exciting Sundance! Good luck with it (smile)

Ha

This is ridiculous! I'm never lost for words, but can't quite find the way to say it.

Thank you.

Your support means a ton.

For now I feel like I have 2 lines on a test, nothing more. If I have 2 lines in three weeks time I might start to believe it. Until then, let's just carry on as before...

Alllrriight! Whoop!

You're right seaside, I should have pushed it more. That's what happens when you go to the docs on a Down Day. Next time I will visit on a Posifrickitive Day and kick ass.

(And she did take my sodding blood to check if I have an underlying infection for unrelated ear pain. She could've just filled another vial. It's not like I don't have plenty. Oh well.)

On a happier note, I am pleased to see the other fallen-off-the-waggoners. Bottoms up!

Hi everybody, said I would come back and update following my 12 week scan today...

All well so far, actually can't believe there was a baby there to be honest. I am not used to good news.

For those who don't remember me, I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks in August 2012 and then tried without success until May 2013 when I finally got a BFP. Unfortunately this ended in an ectopic pregnancy, rupturing at 8 weeks and I had emergency surgery to remove my right tube. I got pg again in Nov 2013...and I am still on that journey...

Hopefully my story gives hope to all of you that have suffered one or more than one loss, and in particular those that have had ectopic pregnancies and may only have one tube left. It can happen.

Sending lots of posifrickintivity and good luck to you all in the future, and thanking you all for the support that this thread has given me over the past 18 months.

P.s. I will still be lurking holding out for more BFP's!

over it's great to hear from you and such wonderful news! I'm so happy for you and your bean.

Gosh over, I remember you (I was DearlyDepartedMrsFinch). That is completely fantastic news! Congratulations

Just wanted to wish everyone luck, and congrats to the three bfp-ers today. Sorry for anyone disappointed ... Sending you hope and good wishes for the coming months.

I also had a bfp. Of course we are delighted- and hopeful. This is my 4th pregnancy: dd1; mc at 23 weeks followed by mc at 14 weeks...

So bring on the heparin injections and cervical stitch if I get to 14 wks again!!

Best wishes to all; I will say goodbye, and hope to c u on a pregnacy thread soon. X

Congratultions Tayto, so sorry for your losses but really hope that this pregnancy ends on a happy note and your little bean has a comfy and uneventful stay in your tum

tayto this is bloody fantastic news!

Also thank you over, I've been in a self pitying slump all day topped off by weeping all evening with friends from work. You are genuine hope and ambition for me and I hope your pg continues happily and uneventfully.

Thanks for the fish slaps, esp otters - we fucking will get there! By hook or by crook!

Whopeeeeeeeeee! What a day for this thread, did I count 4 bfps? Fingers tightly crossed for Tayto Suzy tanny and jbrd The thread is turning into a proper source of inspiration, thank you. And over that is the best news ever, I can't imagine the relief!

I am due on today. Nothing yet. I will not get my hopes up, I will not get my hopes up, I will not get my hopes up...

Wow, another one! Congratulations tayto

Fingers crossed she stays away, Hands
