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?

Sorry about af missH but glad you are positive for bfp time! Limbo land is the worst and with wtf cycles it's horrible as no clue when things will happen!

Tanny that is really shitty. I'm sorry you're going through this. Any news?

Miss H you could give a posifrickentivity masterclass with an attitude like that. Really sorry the witch arrived though.

Ugh. When is that posifrickentivity masterclass again? AF has just swept in nice and early on CD25. If it wasn't for the accompanying 1 degree temp drop I might have hoped it was implantation bleeding as it was scant and brown but,sigh, no such luck. Onwards and upwards to the next cycle I guess. At least I'm temping now (only started 3 days ago) so might have an indication if I actually ov this cycle.

So, today the line is there and a bit darker. Same brand, a FRER, still using FMU.

For 13dpo it's still really light though, and with my last 2 MCs I had wonky results on tests so it feels like I need to prepare for the worst.

I can't quite kill the hope, so as much as I might sound pessimistic, somewhere deep inside I still want it to all be alright. Your hopefulness is inspiring. Thank you.

Hiss H and Penguin sorry about the bitch. It's hard every way.

Next step for me is the traditional watch and wait.

All together now... it's not over til the witch....

Darker line is great news Tanny! Completely understand your caution but keeping everything crossed that it isn't founded this time.

Tanny fx it turns out ok.

Spotting (pink) cd9, just a teeny tiny bit. Weird. Any ideas?

Chin up, tits out tanny today you are pregnant.

Ov spotting just? Or have you recently had sex? Can cause a bit of spotting sometimes.

Well this cycle really is fucked up! Had some weird brown spotting on Thursday/Friday which I was hoping was implantation. Although ff hadn't picked up ov as my temps have been very weird.
Then I just assumed it was a long drawn out prelude to AF.
Now ff has given me an ov date of Friday according to my temps!! DTD very late Wednesday and last night. Bloody typical it happened when DH was out the country!! And that was CD 25 so it looks like this is gonna be a long cycle and I'm now only 3dpo!

Tanny.... As Fedup said, today you are pregnant. Try to focus on that. Maybe give it a couple of days before testing again, give the hcg time to build up. FX for you.

You're only 13dpo tanny, it wouldn't be unusual to get a weak line still? I'm hopeful for you, but you're very sensible to control your hope yet. You must be going mad, I'm sorry.

Argh, DH has been hurling all night and I've got ewcm (yay, I spotted it! Hardly ever do)...no temp rise yet but with him out of action today and away for two nights tomorrow, all my hopes for this month are on dtd tomorrow afternoon, and Thursday by which time it'll probably be too late.

He is quite ill but fully milking it - got me to pass him his teacup from the floor by his bed just now! I hope I don't catch it - also I'm a bit terrified it's food poisoning because we had our 80 year old neighbour for lunch yesterday and if we've poisoned her I don't know what I'll do. I feel ok though, so must be the virus that's been going round his work.

tanny A line is a line, it doesn't matter how dark it is! There is such a variability between tests, even of the same brand and batch. Stop testing. Today you are pregnant!

Sorry to all of you that have to deal with AF. Have a and a , be kind to yourselves.

I spent the weekend with agonising tooth/jaw pain, I have never experienced anything like this. And there are no emergency dental services in my area, as I had to discover (well, apart from Sunday morning, and you have to call at 6.30am to get a referral from the 111 people - but my pain strangely only ever starts around mid-day).
It's agony, and even more so because I'm wary of taking painkillers - I know that paracetamol is safe, but I've been taking it for a few days now.With big gaps in between, as it helps quite a lot with the pain, but still.
And no one picks up the phone at my dentist at the moment

Happy Monday everyone.

Oh Tanny it must be really stressful for you - but, as everyone has already pointed out, a line is a line and you are pregnant right now.

It seems lots of us are having WTF cycles just now. I'm getting sick fed up of all this. 7dpo for me today and I'm fighting off a massive hangover. DP and I met his brother and his lovely new girlfriend for Sunday lunch yesterday and we were all rather pissed enthusiastic with the red wine drinking.

I didnae even see the Scottish smilies! I love them! He's my favourite:

7dpo would be rather early for af symptoms, no otter? Hangovers = gloom in my book. I'd try snarf not to think about ttc today, you'll probs just feel blue.

Does anyone know why a biscuit is MN's 'no comment' emoticon?! just noticed it with its wee Jimmy hat on.

Oh poo, I mean

And I googled it, it's from Biscuitgate. Should have done that first... ( ! )

You're right seasides, it's the hangover blues. I'm curing myself by eating lots of crisps and drinking pints of tea. I am the perfect picture of ttc health today

Do you think 'tb' stands for tartan bonnet? 'Tbangry' sounds like a rapper's name I think

tanny try not to read too much into it. A line is a line and you're pregnant at the moment. Could your GP arrange an early scan for you to confirm/put your mind at rest?

I'm 8dpo and still desperately trying not to symptom spot. But..... I suddenly have no energy and I'm feeling nauseous which is exactly how I felt when I conceived in May. Using all my will power not to POAS. DH has banned me from doing so until the witch is at least a week late, but it's sooo hard! I'm trying not to think about it too much as I'm sure that I'm just setting myself up for disappointment

tanny have another hug, you are being so wise about it.

wing I'm holding out too, 16 days past ovulation, so only a couple of days late. I sat on the loo holding a test this morning and nearly cracked. We are skint, so I told myself I should save it up!

I'm working from home, with a dog who has wind for company. Ew. She is banished to the cold dark hallway and is giving me deeply reproachful looks.

Tanny, a line is good, right!? Comparing different tests, even of the same brand is a sure way to drive yourself mad. Especially at only 13DPO. Today you ARE pregnant! Hold on to that thought

English, the cycle I fell pregnant with the MMC I didn't ovulate until CD30 and we had last had sex about 5 days before that due to having the builders in and having both DCs sleeping in our room!

Bad luck with the honking DH seasides. At least you still have a chance to DTD before he goes away. I live in fear of DH being indisposed at the crucial time. As AF arrived today , I can now work out that this month, although he is away with work, he is back on CD12. Phew!

BTW, have you tried drinking lots of water for EWCF, or taking guaifenesin (chesty cough mixture) pre-ovulation? Or Preseed?

Sounding promising handful

I'm going for Conceive Plus this month champagne, and it's impossible not to get my hopes up after reading all the reviews online - 'We were ttc for 2 years and got pg first month with it' style!

handsful - hopes up for you! You have steely self-discipline, I'm impressed. Though I do have about 9000 hpts now, as a bunch arrived with by new bb thermometer and a doc friend pinched me a load from her hospital so I use them like loo roll.

Slightly embarrassed that I spend so much time on here that I just have to type 'm' into my search bar for the thread to pop up...

Chin up tanny as has been said a line is a line. My DD started as a faint line then anotger faint line 3 or 4 days later. I stopped after 2 tests and she us almost 3. Both my mcs were dark line straight off. I know which I'd rather see. Only natural you are worried off course.

Still sounding good handsful (well maybe not the dog with wind.....). When are you going to test?

Thanks champagne, thats comforting. I'm jst so impatient. The thought of another 11days before i can test is a hard one!!

Sound promising handsful, when are you going to test? Friday??

Sorry to hear the witch got you too champagne it's rubbish. Look after yourself.

Seaside what horrible luck (and your poor DH) Tomorrow afternoon could still be ok. Fx for you! May you join the ranks of the converted reviewers extolling the virtues of conceive plus!

JBird how's your mouth? Did you get to see a dentist? Sounds horrible.

Otters I'm joining you in self-medicating with food. Just snaffled a cherry and almond tartlet. Mmmmmmmmm.

Handsfull I bow to your self control. Sounds promising!

Penguin Sounds delish! I have eaten my bodyweight in junk food today and I don't plan to stop eating all evening. I'm treating myself to all the foods on the avoid in pregnancy list! So it's unpasturised cheeses, deli meats and pate and wine for dinner

Okay, so I need a MASSIVE fishslap. I have fallen to a new ttc-obsession low. I've had a few AF pregnancy imaginings symptoms today but I didn't keep a record of how I felt the month I got my BFP. So, the total nutter genius in me thought 'Aha! I can look through my internet browsing history on my laptop to see what I was googling back then!' And so, through internet stalking myself, I've discovered that I was googling 'sore breasts 7dpo', 'heightened sense of smell early pregnancy' etc. I have therefore come to the conclusion that YES, I am indeed mental upduffed!!

lol otters No fish slap from me as I am too busy laughing at you internet stalking yourself
