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?

Broody this week's episode of OBEM was particularly 'wail-y'. Grin

I've been sitting on my hands all day. Desperate to poas but I'm determined to resist till Friday. Just one more day to get through.

Why is this so hard?!!

We only do every other day when fertile and every 3 days otherwise. Couldn't manage every day at all!

LaceyLee · 05/03/2014 21:55

I can't watch obem, cry too much! We did pretty much do every day in fertile time but since then a lot less than that.

Interesting that lots of us are trying to get healthy/lose weight. Since my mc in oct I have been consistently 10 pounds heavier than before I conceived and it won't go away!!! Annoying - did anyone else find that? I have pretty much given up caffeine and alcohol. If I don't get a bfp soon I may have to restart!

Metalhead · 06/03/2014 07:50

Morning all, how is everyone today? deus are you still holding out on poas?

I haven't watched any of this series' OBEM yet, thought it was a bit too son after my mc and it always makes me cry anyway as I'm still not completely over DD's birth...

I'm trying to get a bit healthier again too after stuffing my face during those few weeks I was pregnant, and then hitting the vino after my mc. Been out for 3 runs this week, so that's a good start! Smile

GailLondon · 06/03/2014 07:53

Hey guys! How are we all doing today?
It's an important day for me today, the bleeding has officially stopped (12 days post mc) and I'm off to the hospital this morning for my follow up dildo-cam scan! Please keep your fingers crossed for me! Am really hoping that everything looks healthy and I get the all clear.
Took an internet cheapie HPT this morning and I think it's a bfn ( which is what I want).....unless I squint very closely with a lamp shining directly on it and then I might see a tiny line....but It's sooo much fainter than a few days ago I want to call it a bfn

Metalhead · 06/03/2014 08:20

Good luck Gail! Let us know how you get on.

deuscat · 06/03/2014 08:24

Good luck Gail.

Yes metal I'm still hanging on to poas tomorrow, I've been really tempted to just poas early but I'm resisting. CD32 today, due AF today or tomorrow. No signs of her though. Boobs still feel sore and they are also slightly bigger.

Who else is POAS tomorrow with me?

sebsmummy1 · 06/03/2014 08:30

Good luck Gail xxx

Sal1977 · 06/03/2014 08:39

Morning ladybugs!

Just whizzing in to say hello! Welcome new ones, don't stay too long will you? Grin

OV yesterday, managed 3 nights of TITH so one more tonight (if I can persuade DH to knock one out)!

Working til 8pm tonight then off to my sisters (3.5hr drive) as we're off to my cousins wedding tomorrow in Ipswich (another 2-3hr drive)!

Been trying to cram a weeks worth of clients into 3 days, so mental busy!

I think I can beat you all on the naughty front. A stone and a half on from this time last year (when I was happily upduffed) AND I started smoking again. What a knob jockey!! Need to knock the fatness and twattishness on the head ASAP but lacking motivation!!

Seasides · 06/03/2014 09:10

Sal! On my phone so can only be brief but I am heaving a shark (only a basking shark, don't want to cause permanent damage) at you for the smoking!

deuscat · 06/03/2014 09:31

Just started spotting Sad

Trying to look on the bright side that if AF is about to make an appearance then at least this cycle is closer to normal length than my wtf cycle.

MissHobart · 06/03/2014 09:55

Sal - Smoking's my last thing too Blush Stopped for each BFP, then tried desperately to stop anyway to help ttc, I've been smoking for 20 years Shock , wish I'd never started, my only regret! Hmm

MissHobart · 06/03/2014 09:57

Sorry Deus - I know how soul destroying it is, the only bright side is that things are working as they should, apart from lack of baby of course Hmm It could be ib?! Wink

Metalhead · 06/03/2014 09:57

Ah sorry deus, don't give up hope yet though - it could just be implantation bleed? [hopeful]

HollyBen · 06/03/2014 10:12

Morning all. Welcome to all the newbies. it is sad there are so many. Glad you found us and hope it helps.

sebs after my first mc in 2010 my 2nd cycle was weirder than the wtf cycle. I had spotting on and off for about 40 days. Cyle 3 bfp anf DD will be 3 next weekend cuto

Feeling quite angelic here! Day 4 of healthy eating and trousers don't feel as tight or I am wearing bigget trousers gp apt on mon and acupuncture on wed sorted. All helping me feel I am taking control. CD8 so smep kicks of tonight with some tith

How are you doing triple? Thinkin g of you and hoping for good news

TeaRex · 06/03/2014 10:22

Sorry deus still hopefull for you as well x
gail hope the scan went well and pleased for you you got your bfn quickly, fx next test is a bfp :)

I love obem but not seen any of the new ones, not avoiding it intentionally but it really makes me cry anyhow so maybe on a subconscious level I'm giving it a miss lol.
No poas for me tomorrow, still no AF post mc but I had really obv symptoms with my daughter and the mc (though the mc ones while the same they weren't as strong) so I'll be cheering from the sidelines tomorrow for any testers out there x
I love March, suns shining, spring and my birthday are imminent and I always feel more hopeful this time of year really thinking ahead but anyone got nice plans for summer? We're thinking of getting a cottage in Cornwall for a week but it's a bit hit and miss with the weather, but I love it down there and not been for about 10 years so I'm due a visit, that's what I keep telling the husband anyhow :)

CakesALot · 06/03/2014 10:37

Morning!

I might well POAS tomorrow but I'll looking for a BFN. Hmm Had a couple of squinters so far after my ERPC but nothing definitely negative yet.

I braved watching OBEM the other night as I do love it but it just left me thinking when will it be my turn? So I'll abstain from that for a while I think and the wailers were mighty annoying!

I've definitely been piling on the pounds recently too Blush a friend at work has persuaded me to join her in giving up crisps and chocolate for lent. Why did I say yes?? It's all I can think about now!

Best wishes to anyone looking for the BFP tomorrow. Fx! Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/03/2014 10:39

Morning Ladies!!
Good luck Gail, hope all goes well.
Sorry it looks like AF is coming Deuse Hmm Hope it's just implantation.

I'd quite like my body to get with the programme and bloody ovulate! After a nice normal cycle last month, this looks like it's gonna be a long one! Cd16 and had 'highs' on the cbfm for 4 days! Daily tith is taking it's toll. Might have a day off today and hope tomorrow is peak!

sebsmummy1 · 06/03/2014 12:09

You sure you haven't already english? I always check the sticks now as well as the month I fell pregnant I never got a peak.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/03/2014 12:12

pretty sure I haven't. I checked the stick this morning and there was a very faint line. So i think in the next few days it'll happen. Hope so anyway! Until the mc i generally ovulated cd14/15. The cycle i got my bfp it was late, cd 18 but put that down to moving house stress. No stress this month so god knows. Started taking vitex, so that might be it.

sebsmummy1 · 06/03/2014 12:15

Cool. Well I am still high and my LH line is getting darker but my oestrogen line is still really dark too. I am doing Boots opks around tea time and last night the LH line was pretty strong. It's quite fascinating but ultimately does not a BFP make as we have done no TITH due to my spotting.

GailLondon · 06/03/2014 12:31

Thanks everyone! Back from my scan and the good news is there are no 'products of conception' ( I hate that phrase!) remaining so no need for a d&c, phew. She did see a little remaining fluid/blood, I asked what that meant and she said either my body will re absorb it (seeing as the bleeding after the medical management has fully stopped) or I might get some more bleeding at an unknown future date. So I'm well and truly in the wtf cycle now, not knowing if the next time I see blood is a proper AF or the last little bits of stuff coming out.

But generally feeling happy to be discharged from hospital care! Hurrah!

No Poas for me tomorrow so big fingers crossed for everyone who is. Take care xxx

broodylicious · 06/03/2014 12:45

Good news then gail Smile fx your cycle will get into a decent swing quickly and we can hear a bfp from you soon xx

noitsachicken · 06/03/2014 12:49

Hi all,
Good news your scan was all ok Gail I was worried about a D&C as well but didn't need one.

I watch OBEM, but recently it has made me cry! The new series is in my local hospital and where I had DS so I like to watch.

Well for me today it looks like the bleeding post CP (or v early loss) has finished. I have no idea where I am in my cycle due to the two bleeds so will just start with opks tomorrow and go from there!

Seasides · 06/03/2014 13:29

Oh, sorry for spotting deus, disappointing every month Sad.

Glad you've had the all clear Gail, on to a bfp soon hopefully!

Isn't it amazing how every month I imagine nausea? I swear I could spend my whole time fake-nauseous, my brain is so screwed up. Nipples progressively less tender as 2we goes on, so my hopes are well and truly subdued.

deuscat · 06/03/2014 13:29

Gail I'm glad everything is all clear for you now. Hope the wtf cycle isn't too crazy for you.

Well I've only had a couple more spots of brown cm and only really on wiping. No signs of actual AF yet. I might still be in the game. Or AF might be making an extra cruel arrival Confused
