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?

Lol at waxing fanny whilst hungover english

OttersPocket · 07/02/2014 14:15

English That is vom indeed!! Grin

HollyBen I'm sure one day off SMEP so early in your cycle is fine. I'm in the starter blocks limbering up for TITH. CD5 for me and AF has just stopped. My AF has always only lasted for 2 days, this time it was four, I'm taking this as A Good Sign!

Not sure I want to start SMEPing yet though, usually ov around 15/16 and don't want fatigue to set in before the crucial time!

Baxter I too have been getting really pronounced PMS symptoms post-mc when I never really had them before. It's just another way of making this whole nightmare process even more of a headfuck Angry

Misspositivity · 07/02/2014 14:41

sundance sorry about BFN but still a little early and every day past your usual luteal phase is good regardless of outcome.
english enjoy your cocktails and the fannys tomorrow lol

Currently lying in bed waiting for DH to spurt in me whilst DD takes a nap. DH however is in his study writing work emails and keeps shouting "be there in a minute". Day 2 of SMEP after poss opk so I may wait it out.

Parsley2506 · 07/02/2014 17:56

Spurt!! Grin

2nd peak day, would rather TITH as soon as I get home at 7 but we're out for dinner with visiting sis & kids. Hoping later tonight will be ok. Textbook SMEP this month

Justonemoretime · 07/02/2014 18:23

Fish slap me please. Poas a week early (bfn), its NEVER going to happen for me, I am SURE of it!!! Also watched sad film and nearly cried. So I almost certainly AM pg. Shock

Justonemoretime · 07/02/2014 18:26

Cat just curled up on my lap. Wink

Misspositivity · 07/02/2014 18:29

justone your a very naughty TTC'er. Fish slap in your direction. Stand back from the sticks you are going to send yourself mad. Hugs.
parsley that should be grand. We are doing SMEP too but I usually leave out the last day as already have temp rise on FF. Maybe that's what are problem is.

Tadpole2013 · 07/02/2014 19:03

Hello newbies! Hoping for a short stay for us all!

Baxter After my mc, my AF symptoms have changed completely. Unfortunately including AF being late for two months in a row for the first time ever. I used to have a clockwork 28 day cycle. The longest last month was 31 days. With all the pg symptoms. So confusing.

Thank you for the laughs, ladies. I am so exhausted after the shag-a-ton that literally, I'm going to bed soon.
My poor flower pot cannot, and I mean refuses, to take anymore planting activities. Shock

Parsley2506 · 07/02/2014 19:37

Sisters train an hour late, managed to sneak in a quick TITH. The cat watched - that means I'll be preg right? Btw does anyone else find it hugely unnerving/off putting when pets watch?! Dirty perv cat!

Justonemoretime · 07/02/2014 19:42

Good for you Parsley, although it is a not freaky when pets watch. Just don't make eye contact! Wink Hope tonight goes ok. Brave lady for having a do under the circumstances.

ameliarose2012 · 07/02/2014 20:41

I'm with you on the pets. We have an awesome rocking chair in the living room that I really want to 'try out', but I just can't bring myself to with the dog in the room!

AF came this morning Sad, but so far has been a bit weird, so I'm not totally convinced (fish-slap please?). Think I'll just have some Cake and Wine xxx

OttersPocket · 07/02/2014 22:04

amelia have a wee fish slap. Sorry AF has made an unwelcome appearance. Chin up, tits out love.

My cat often stays on the bed when we're having a quick tith. It's most disconcerting! I think she's getting used to her mental owners ways Grin

Sal1977 · 07/02/2014 23:13

We dog sat for our friends. Shit the dog in the kitchen, went upstairs for a bit of the other and halfway through realised the dog was in the bedroom resting his chin on the bed watching us. Fuck me, scared the shit out of me!!! Haha

Sal1977 · 07/02/2014 23:14

*Shut the dog in the kitchen not shit on him!!

Blimey, I must swear ALOT if my autocorrect is changing shut to shit!!

Penguin13 · 08/02/2014 00:44

Laughing at pervy pets. Yes, very off-putting!

Slightly concerned I will be hanging for both my driving and yoga lessons tomorrow but a fun night was had by all and I successfully served up 9 edible dinners which I am quite proud of actually.

Having a bit of a wtf cycle with spotting left, right and centre and no idea when, if at all I'm likely to ovulate so may have thought f*ck it and drank more than I should. Tomorrow is another day, chin out, tits up or something like that Smile

TeaRex · 08/02/2014 07:18

I've got a lesson too this morning, hope yours goes well penguin and I've not got pets at the mo but I couldn't let them watch, freaks me out a bit to much. Hope any hangovers are only minor today :)

Tadpole2013 · 08/02/2014 07:30

OMG, sal You had me chocking on my breakfast! Perv dog. Probably wanted to compare you guys with the owners! Grin
Our cat wouldn't be caught dead in the room. Now the dog. That bitch loves herself some people porn!
She has an odd snort-sigh noise after we're done.

Good morning, ladies!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 08/02/2014 07:55

oh dear... few too many cocktails last night.....!! Cant say i'm looking forward to work!
My cats love a perv! Dh has taken to scouting the room before he gets down to business as they put him off!

Glad last night went well Penguin.
Good luck with the driving lessons ladies Smile Hope you all have a lovely day, think of me, up to my eyeballs in 'flowerpots'!

TeaRex · 08/02/2014 07:58

english enjoy the pubic topiary ;)

Seasides · 08/02/2014 09:04

Careful with the booze shakes and those pruning shears...

OP posts:
Baxter2014 · 08/02/2014 09:22

Ha! Shit on the dog. Maybe its a new technique to help fertility?? I def have to lock the dog downstairs when we are DTD - he is def a peoplephile.

Its funny about the cat on lap thing - I keep thinking my beagle will be able to sniff out a fetus like some dogs can sniff out cancer Hmm

Parsley2506 · 08/02/2014 09:25

Good luck with the driving tearex and penguin and try to avoid any wonky flowerpot designs english

I'd just like to point out we don't usually let the cat in the bedroom but we were in a bit of a hurry last night. MrP was doing his thing but got put off his stride when he realised Booby (the cat, not my fun bags) was staring at us from the other side of the bed. Just staring. Big scary staring eyes like only a cat can do. Grin

One more portion of TITH this morning then it's 2ww time. Anyone else starting?

OttersPocket · 08/02/2014 10:52

Oh you lot make me laugh so much! Shitting on dogs, pervy cats, and pubic topiary - a typical day in the life of a ttc'er Grin

I'm also hungover, wine and a few whiskeys does not make me feel good the next day. Totally worth it though and I've not ov'ed yet so no guilt Wink

I'm off to look at new kitchens today, totally can't afford a new one but one can dream....

Happy Saturday girls!

Parsley2506 · 08/02/2014 11:18

I dream of a new kitchen otters. The people we bought our house off only did it just before we bought it but it's such a half arsed cheapo MFI job, I hate it.

Question for anyone else taking agnus castus - do you take it for the whole cycle or just until ov?

EnglishGirlAbroad · 08/02/2014 12:04

No wonky bushes so far, perfectly pruned!! Grin
