Congratulations littlebear! More good news to come home to!!

The bus is becoming more empty! When do you lovely ladies recommend POAS?? I keep doing them knowing it's too early and its going to cost me a fortune! Mr Google is giving me conflicting advise.

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 17:52

When do you lovely ladies recommend POAS??

That's a very dangerous question to ask misssunsihne as we will usually say NOW!!!! Grin You could be 1dpo and we'd still be telling you to do it Grin A large percentage of passengers are POAS addicts and if we aren't peeing on one ourselves we want someone else to be doing it so we can get our 'fix' through them Grin

LittleMissSunshine33 · 23/01/2014 18:02

Haha this is very true and I am very much becoming an addict too but it's a costly habit to fund! I will put my question another way - how near AFs due have you lovely ladies found your special stick has shown a BFP rather than a BFN?? Wink

mattsmama · 23/01/2014 18:06

I am driving myself barmy with my POAS obsession! (Amazon are doing FRER at £6.00 for 2 at the moment by the way and Tesco). Grin

I continue to POAS knowing absolutely full we'll it is too early - absolutely bonkers Blush. Plus only managed to DTD once when it mattered on the 13th - so chances are ridiculously slim as well! However I have had crampy AF pains since the 13th on and off plus sore boobies and for last couple of days I can't stop peeing so trying to remain optimistic but not too much?!! Gonna try my hardest to hold off until Sunday now ( ha ha!) unless AF puts in a very unwelcome appearance! Good luck ladies x

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 18:20

Do what everyone else does and get yourself on Amazon and order loads of cheapy tests - I think they come in packs of 20 for about £6, possible less Smile

I was testing twice a day sometimes 3 times a day from 7dpo, haha Grin

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 18:22

FWIW mattsmama - my first symptom was needing to pee all the time!!! It started at about 9dpo and it was my colleagues who first noticed it Smile

LittleMissSunshine33 · 23/01/2014 19:55

When did you get your BFP writer how many days PO?? Grin (Love the stats)

RetroHippy · 23/01/2014 20:07

LittleMiss, I got my internet cheapies (20) for less than a fiver. I also got 50 OPKs and a thermometer that's still in the box for around £8 (for everything) I think.

It does give you more incentive to wait if you're peeing on £3 each time though! I'm 3dpo and might last until Sunday! Then I shall be furtively POAS daily until I get the bfp or AF arrives! The internet cheapies have the added advantage of being super sensitive so you can almost justify testing from 7dpo!

I'm already imagining cramps feelings which are blatantly just wind but no boob pain yet, then I'll be totally convinced Grin

Littlebear88 · 23/01/2014 20:24

I poas this morning which was one day after AF was due! No sickness, just sore boobs and peeing all the time! Excited/nervous!! Sprinkling some baby dust, DH and I dtd about 3 days before my OV day as he works away so must've OVd early or just got lucky with a swimmer who was hanging around!!!Wink

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 20:32

littlebear88 - congratulations!! how weird is it that we have a Littlebear86 and a Littlebear88 on the same thread Grin What are your statistics (What number child and what cycle) so I can add you on to the BFP list??

littlemisssunshine - I didn't get my BFP until the day my period was due. I don't know how many dpo I was as I wasn't tracking my ovulation. At a guess I was 14dpo. I only got my BFP because I peed on an OPK (not surprisingly I'd ran out of HPT) and had been told that a strong positive on an OPK near AF date can indicate pregnancy. I then ran to my local corner shop to buy three different brands of HPT and they all came back positive Smile

Littlebear88 · 23/01/2014 20:55

DC1 cycle 2 25yo

LittleMissSunshine33 · 23/01/2014 20:56

Thanks everyone am looking into ic now! I'm thinking of it as I'm practising my POAS techniques until the real thing Wink

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 21:03

littlebear88 - you aren't actually Littlebear86 are you with a new name???

ReginaFelange22 · 23/01/2014 21:03

I've kind of abandoned this thread, works been crazy busy and really kept meaning to post!

AF due today...hasn't arrived. Really feel like it should be here, had my normal pre AF symptoms! Eeeekkkkk!!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 21:09

So why aren't you POAS??? lol Grin

ReginaFelange22 · 23/01/2014 21:16

I don't have any lol! Also my OH is away and wanted to wait lol!!

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 21:22

Please tell us he is back soon???

ReginaFelange22 · 23/01/2014 21:23

Start of next week!! Tick tock tick tock!!!

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 21:24

What??? We can't wait that long!!!!!!!! Grin

ReginaFelange22 · 23/01/2014 21:28

Haha! It shall fly in lol! Sure there will be BFPs between!

I came off the pill at the end of October, period in Nov and dec were bang on time until today lol! Been bang on 28 days. I'm partly thinking nah won't be right it'll be along soon! I'm away with friends in a few weeks for basically a piss up to visit other friends... This could be interesting!

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 21:31

As Bus Conductor I'm trying to work out whether I have the power to:

A) Throw you off the Bus for unreasonable behaviour in expecting us to wait so long.... Grin

B) Force you to POAS with the promise that we won't tell your OH Grin

But seriously - fingers crossed for you, I really hope you get your BFP Smile

ReginaFelange22 · 23/01/2014 21:34

Haha! I wish, he worked out my username on here so have no chance!! ??

Will keep you all updated!!

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 21:36

If you are reading Mr Felange I think you should give permission for testing to take place in your absence Grin

Littlebear88 · 23/01/2014 21:40

I've always been 88

Writerwannabe83 · 23/01/2014 21:47

I must have imagined Littlebear86 then, haha Grin
How weird and slightly scary Hmm Grin
