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?

Wonderful news tayto, this is definitely a record week. I really really hope you have a boring, safe 9 months ahead of you.

champagne (loving the new name btw, so glam and tits out) I know it's not as easy as that. Really hoping I don't get fobbed off when I go to ask for my tests-it's a bit sarcastic she did other bloods, why wouldn't she just do it even if she just thought she was humouring you? They don't realise how long 'a couple of months' feels in ttc-land.

Sorry for bfns, I haven't said that yet-you still all sound Like you're in the running though, hopefully we can fill some of those white stick spaces yet.

Handsful Are you going to test?!

Congratulations tayto
handsful when are you going to test? Be great if you could add to the bumper bfp weekend

Thanks seaside, sympathetic as she was, I suspect that she was pre-children, and you're right, until you are going through it you have no idea how all consuming TTC can be. Especially after a loss.

Never mind, onwards and upwards. Stories like over's make me happy and hopeful (and I've been through nothing like as traumatic).

Gah I need an oxygen mask here. Mr P has been doing something solvent-y to the floor base in the utility room and I swear I am getting high off the fumes!

champagne I found it really difficult sticking to my guns and being firm on my initial visits to doc r.e. fertility, had to write lists in the end so I didn't cave or forget anything. Luckily once we got him moving he's been really supportive so I hope you get more out of your next appt.

Anyone tried Chinese herbal tea/soup? Very bitter (the tea, not me). Not sure I can go through with it. :p

Congratulations Tayto. I'm hoping you have a healthy pregnancy.

And thanks for sharing over. I think I was on the August antenatal thread with you. It's great to hear your positive news.

CD33 now of WTF cycle. No signs of either pregnancy or AF. The limbo continues ....

Deus - CD30, same here, but hormonal the last few days, could mean anything nothing

Fuck. Well that was short.

Tested this morning and the line is still hardly there. Possibly even lighter than Friday.

Looks like a chemical pregnancy.

I can't begin to tell you how sad, frustrated and fucking angry I am.

Really don't know if I can carry on trying. It's so hard to keep getting your hopes up just to watch them slip through your fingers.

Oh Tanny, I'm sorry. That's really shit! I don't really know what to say other than don't lose hope. I know it's hard, really bloody hard but you will get there.
Have a good cry. The first day the bitch arrives is always the worst. You might feel more positive in a few days. Sending you lots if hugs x

Tanny don't lose hope yet. I know it's hard not to test - but it can be stressful if the line is not getting any stronger. You are pregnant now and that is what is imp - probably wait a few days before you test again.

handsfull did you end up testing then?

Sorry about the waiting game deus and misshobart, it would be nice to know if AF is on the way so you can get on with next cycle. Do you know when you may have ovulated?

I am waiting for AF on Tuesday so I can get on with things after BFN.

tanny step away from the HPTs. I'm with Triple here, give it a few more days and in the meantime we will keep you company. Un-MN hug for you.

Oh, tanny, what a complete bastard. Are you completely sure? Is it the same brand test? (When I tested with DD2, my second test was faulty and came up with no control line - was the control line there?). I'm so sorry

My temperature took a nose dive this morning so I am expecting AF slightly earlier than expected. So on to cycle 8 .

Any news handsful?

So crap tanny, I'm sorry. This is such a shit game we're all playing, but please don't lose hope. And I agree, though I wouldn't have the willpower personally, the ideal thing would be not to test for a few days - I dont think you're out yet though.

Also sorry for your temps champagne :-( cycle 7 or 9 here, depending on how I look at it. I'm going with 7, but really it's 9.

I've dusted my CBFM off again this cycle, seeing as they seem to be a few days longer post MC I'd like to know if/when OV is happening. So, despite only being CD6 I am going to be POAS for then next couple of weeks. There's always a few days when I forget until I'm mid pee, so annoying but at least I know my pelvic muscles are good as I am a complete pro at stopping mid flow!

Oh tanny I'm so sorry. But like the others have said, it might not be what you fear. But if it is then you know we will all be here for you.

I don't use opk's or temp so I estimate ovulation based on ewcm. This month I also had some possible ovulation spotting so I think I'm roughly 12dpo.

MissHobart fingers crossed we aren't kept in limbo too much longer.

tanny I'm sorry, its a dreadful limbo to be in, I do hope it looks better in a few days.

I am being kind to myself, and just telling myself my AF is late, although only 3 months after the erpc and subsequent scary infection my cycles could be all over the place, understandably. I'm only going to test when I can't kid myself that the arrival of blood is a late AF. Day 35 maybe? Usually my cycle is about 24/25 days. It's self protection, I've been through enough recently!

Deus - womb pain/cramps ramping up, very teary, think AF will be right on time May POAS just for the hell of it again

misshobart have a hug. I was a miserable tearful wreck when the first AF arrived post mc. I'm telling myself that the more cycles there are between mc and next bfp the more hospitable environment my body will be. Have another hug and a packet of chocolate buttons. They do help.

Oh MissHobart, sorry you think the witch is heading your way. Try not to let it get yo down. Remember its your wtf cycle and aving af might just be what your body needs to make it extra cosy for your bean when it gets there. Thats what i'm trying to tell myself when ever i have a down moment. It sucks though. Sending you a big hug!

Thanks Guys! All ok now, dtd before OH went to work has woken up the witch!

I was only mental cos the Dr/blood test said I'd ovulated so I was in with a chance, before that I was looking forward to AF as an end to the WTF cycle!

I've got loads of stuff planned for the next few months and if it takes another 5 months (took 5 months to get to each bfp/mc ) I'll conceive on holiday in June and the upduffed friend and work colleague will have had theirs and I'll have some breathing space at last! and then it'll be all about me

That's the spirit MissHobart!!

MissHobart sorry to hear AF has arrived. But I'm impressed with your posifrickentivity!

I know when my AF arrives I'm going to be a blubbering wreck.

Oh tanny are you ok? As the others say, you def aren't out yet but I also know how shitty it feels. Thinking of you.

I'm currently around 6 dpo. Not really sure when I ov at the mo. Boring 2 ww and have ridiculously sore boobs. Something I only get when not upduffed. :(
