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?

Sebs lol! I do all that in RL!

tannyLoo · 07/03/2014 10:38

So far my prep for going away has involved deforestation and delousing. Sad

sebsmummy1 · 07/03/2014 10:39

Great news Cakes. I am still getting squinters on ultra early hpts but they are fading a little more every day. I am now bust staring at opks instead lol. I am not happy unless I'm pissing on something!! Blush

LaceyLee · 07/03/2014 11:33

Dues really sorry AF got you, she has just got me as well Hmm I'm really sad, LP is only 9 days also. Just wanted to be properly preg before due date of first baby which was 26th April. Looking less and less likely

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/03/2014 11:40

Sorry AF has got you also lacey , its a shitter. She is a perfect example of the C-Bomb!! Really hope you get your bfp soon, I know how much I want to be properly updfuffed before my edd would have been. Look after yourself and indulge in lots of wine. Hugs xx

CakesALot · 07/03/2014 12:00

Haha sebs! Pissing on something becomes a talent! One to add to the CV??

I'm not a big OPK user mainly because DH is on meds that come with a long list of side effects, including the oh so helpful 'ejaculation failure'. It probably only happens 20% of the time, but we need pressure-less, naturally occuring shags to guarantee the load gets shot!! Its frustrating, mostly for DH, but i think if i starting tracking my ov too closely, I'd be setting him up for a performance failure! Of course, I do a bit of gentle tracking and have a neat 28 day cycle mostly, when not in WTF cycle, so i do know when I'm likely to be most fertile...but we just have to have lots of regular sex and not think too much about dates. Funny that DH doesn't complain about that?!

God he would die of embarrassment if he saw this Hmm

Metalhead · 07/03/2014 12:07

Sorry to all who got caught by AF, it sucks every time. And sorry you're feeling rubbish tanny, I'm not surprised after what you've been through! Glad you've got some time off now, and hopefully a weekend away will be just what you need to recharge the batteries.

Fx for you Sundance, the faint line does sound very promising!

Metalhead · 07/03/2014 13:58

Urgh, feeling a bit crampy today for some reason, not sure what it could be though. Got a negative opk and still a squint-and-you-miss-it line on an hpt, so don't think it's either ov or AF. I guess it's called WTF cycle for a reason..!

tannyLoo · 07/03/2014 14:12

Metal I've had for-no-other-reason-than-to-fuck-with-my-head cramps too.

deuscat · 07/03/2014 15:03

The WTF cycle could easily be renamed as the headfuck cycle. I had so many random symptoms I was totally convinced I was upduffed.

Hope the newbies and returners can come through the wtf headfuck cycle unscathed and perhaps with a bfp!

Littlelady33 · 07/03/2014 16:08

Hello ladies could I possibly join you here? TTC #1 since September 2013, BFP Jan, MMC and ERPC Feb 2014. Wondering if / when cycle and hormones will ever feel normal and I might start to feel less crazy - WTF cycle indeed. But trying again straight away as might go even crazier if we don't.

Triplespin · 07/03/2014 16:13

Just a quick one. My levels only went to 400 and so I have been told to stop all my medication. Waiting to miscarry now, hope t is not an ectopic.

Sorry for the lack of personals.

picklebum2011 · 07/03/2014 16:15

I'm so very sorry triple.

broodylicious · 07/03/2014 16:28

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/03/2014 16:38

sebsmummy1 · 07/03/2014 16:40

HollyBen · 07/03/2014 16:45

Boo hiss for the witch deus and a tentative woo hoo sundance Everything (except legs as just started SMEP) crossed for you.

Welcome little Sorry for your loss. You have found a lovely supportive and ever so slightly mad bunch to keep you company in the wait for a BFP x

Littlelady33 · 07/03/2014 16:52

Triple so sorry to hear that. Holly thank you - it can feel lonely out there and as though no one really understands what you're going through.

TeaRex · 07/03/2014 16:53

triple so so sorry :(

Welcome little completely understand the need to be here quickly, you need the hope almost?

Just finished my wtf cycle with AF arriving today metal took just over 6 weeks, how far into the cycle are you? Fx it's over soon.

CakesALot · 07/03/2014 17:00

So sorry to hear that triple Sad

Welcome little- I'm in the middle of the WTF at the moment. I say middle but actually have no idea what's happening in there! Lots of good company and support here Smile

Littlelady33 · 07/03/2014 17:03

Thanks TeaRex yes definitely the hope but also being back at work with no one knowing I was ever pregnant and helpful comments from friends along the lines of 'well you got pregnant quickly so...'. Tbh just grateful to talk to people who understand! Glad AF showed for you eventually I'm only in wk 2 so a way to go yet

sebsmummy1 · 07/03/2014 17:07

I had a whole heap of 'helpful comments' from my sister this week along the lines of 'you'll be fine''you got pregnant so you'll get pregnant again'. I asked her if she knew it had taken me 7 months to fully pregnant, she said no, looked shocked then launched back into 'you'll be fine'. I know everyone means well but arrrrgh.

deuscat · 07/03/2014 17:08

Triple I'm ever so sorry to hear that.

Welcome little, sorry for your loss but hopefully you'll find support with us here.

Littlelady33 · 07/03/2014 17:22

They do mean well and I'm doing my best to be nice about it. Bless her but my mother suddenly seems to endlessly encounter women who had MC then healthy pregnancies...and I can't explain why that doesn't matter because they didn't just lose this, particular baby. All the same would like to shut myself away for the weekend with a vat of wine!
