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?

Morning all, didnt poas as I'm only 10 dpo and also don't feel preg, boobs not sore. Think I might just have to be happy with a slightly longer LP and look to next month.
Parsley have a great time! Sounds like a fab weekend!

So get this ladies... DH's best mate has booked a holiday in Vegas. He's got two kids, a nearly 3 y o and a 7 m o so Vegas not necessarily the first family holiday destination that springs to mind. Oh wait, it doesn't matter because he's just going with his wife and leaving the kids at home with his mil!!!! Am I the only one that is slightly outraged by this?!

Fx for some BFPs this morning!

I've not posted for a few days, I've been having a rubbish time at work. I was close to resigning on Tuesday and was talked down and came home sick instead. My GP has signed me off sick for another week and a half. I think the cumulative effect of all the MCs has caught up with me and I'm just a big blubbering ball of emotion. That and work are being real twats.
Anyways, we're off for some R&R this weekend. I've put the whole thing on the credit card and we're off to North Cornwall and a cottage with open fires and walks to the sea. Hopefully lots of TITH with no gravy but some mustard!

I fully expect to come back to loads of news!

Oh tanny poor you :( I'm not surprised you've hit a wall, you've been through so much x glad to hear you've been signed off for a bit and I really hope that this weekend helps you recharge your batteries.

Have a good weekend too parsley :) and fx for anyone deciding to test today.

Afm, AF turned up today in full force! Yay! Never thought I'd be so happy to see the witch, and am not disappointed by seeing it either so that's good. So will either start properly trying in a few of days or next month :) another milestone reached at least. Have a nice day everyone

tanny my lovely I'm sorry you've had such a crap week but glad you've been given some more time off to process and recover. Your weekend away sounds ideal, I hope you have a lovely relaxing time together. Try not to think about work!

lacey that's understandable but keeping fx for you!

deus ??????

Oh tanny that sounds shit. I can totally see how the emotional toll of mc(s) can leave you with nothing left to deal with crap happening elsewhere. Your trip away sounds fabulous . I keep threatening to disappear off by myself or just me and my son. I don't know why the thought of it appeals as I adore my partner and he does nothing wrong at all, I think I miss just being able to get away from everything and i haven't had a holiday for ages.

Well my body continues to be a conundrum. The spotting seems to be easing off really well. There was mucus mixed in with blood so I suppose my body could have been trying to give me signs, but the opk tests really do seem to be suggesting OV is very soon. Of course there has been no sex whatsoever so far so this ain't great news!!!! Mission SexALot starts in earnest tonight, feeling like I may have missed the boat already though.

Tanny sorry you're have a shite time at work, but glad you have gp on your side. Enjoy your weekend and mustardy tith!!
Tea glad af came. Hopefully this will sort your hormones out and you'll get your bfp next cycle.
lacey you're still in with a shot, FX!

CBFM-gate update - cd17, still no peak!! So obviously now paranoid i'm not actually ovulating this month! Before the mc my cycles were pretty regular... im on cycle 3 post mc and they're still fcked!! Really getting the hump now.

English are you keeping your sticks?

Parsley enjoy your weekend away. Sounds lovely.

tanny, so sorry you're having a really tough time of it. Hopefully a break away will help.

I'm seriously lacking posifrickentivity today. AF arrived full flow yesterday evening (although seems lighter than usual). I'm absolutely gutted and have had a little sob this morning. I had really got my hopes up with the sore boobs but obviously that is just a new pre-AF symptom for me now following mc. Another quirk of mc

Trying to be slightly positive, I'm glad my cycle has now returned to pre-mc length.

tonight (as long as I stop crying!)

i've not kept them, but i've been looking at them. Think there's a hint of another line on it, which i assume is the LH line.
Do you think the vitex could be pushing ov back??

I was going to say if you'd kept them, I'd have a look at them for you. I always have an LH line showing on mine but I know many people just have a blank space and then the line starts showing around OV.

All I know is the first month I used it I never hit peak yet I ovulated, so don't feel deflated. Do keep the sticks though as I find it gives you an idea of what's normal for you and what a peak stick looks like etc. I knew I had OVed the month I caught, even though I only hot highs, as my oestrogen line went fainter over a few days and my LH line was a similar colour, then my oestrogen line went back to being bright again for the rest of the cycle. I assume because the monitor didn't catch the LH line being darker than the oestrogen line I didn't get my peak result. I think my surge is really short.

Good luck to anyone POAS today!

I'm 11 days po, af probably due Monday so would have thought it would be clear on a stick by now. There is the faintest of faint lines, if you really squint, but I know it's more likely an evap line and I certainly don't feel pg. I've also been really bad with this month so it's probably just as well if I'm not.

Good luck everyone

Sundance I think you are pregnant. Directly I saw your name I had a feeling. Do not rule yourself out, I am hugely FXing for you xxxxx

Hey tanny , sorry to hear you're having a crap time at work, really hope that the time off will be just what you need and you can go back with a clear head.
Sundance I have fingers crossed for you! 11dpo is still early for a clear result, mine never showed up with an unmistakeable line till 14dpo.
And good luck with the SexALot plan Sebs! I am planning a jump on hubby session tonight as soon as DS is in bed :)

Sundance fx it turns into a proper bfp in a few days time.

Hold everything Sundance! How do you know it's an evap? A squinter at 11dpo could be a goer! Ooohh, getting my hopes up for you... It's not over till the witch shows up!

Parsley your weekend away sounds bloody marvellous. Enjoy every minute! Orgasmic pork. Fnar.

Tanny I'm sorry you are having a rough time at the moment. I'm glad your GP has signed you off and given the space to start to process things and recover. Your weekend away sounds like the perfect opportunity to rest and be restored.

Deus I'm sorry the witch got you. It's always hard but some months are harder than others. Be kind to yourself today and indulge in some .

Cross post sundance I am keeping everything crossed for you . You're definitely not out yet.

deus I'm so sorry AF rocked up, the stupid cow. It is good that your cycle is at normal pre MC length but I know that won't be much comfort today. Enjoy your and be kind to yourself this weekend.

Right, really need to get on the road now! Gourmet TITH here we come! sundance quietly hoping for some exciting news from you in a few days. You can definitely break the Friday rule!

Aww, bless you all, thank you. It's really so incredibly faint I think I'm imagining it. I tried totale a pic for you but it didn't even show up on the photo! Haha

*taking

Besides, DH and I decided to book ourselves a fancy summer holiday this weekend, so can't get upduffed now.

Sundance shine a light behind it

Sorry deus, the witch is a bitch. I hope it's a nice healthy flow! god the things I say

Thanks for all your comments. What a lovely group of people xxx (shhh don't tell MN about the xxx)

Tanny I think when it comes to the TTC and mc boards you cannot get enough xxxxx and hugs as we are all pretty vulnerable emotionally.

I'm sure the members on the rest of the site are too busy screaming CUNT at each other to even notice anyhow

Deus, so sorry she arrived. Nasty witch. Definitely have a few drinks tonight

Tanny enjoy your R&R, I hope it brings you some peace and quiet

Everything crossed for you Sundance, so exciting!

All this talk of weekends away sounds lovely! we're off to stay with some friends this weekend. They know nothing about the ttc/mc so looking forward to not thinking about it all for a few days.

I got a BFN this morning. I think. I didn't get too close or shine it under a light, just in case! But it's a small achievement. My body is feeling totally neutral, no symptoms of anything right now. WFT indeed
