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, I had 23 days between my mc bleed and my period, although at the time I didnt think it was a period as it was so light and mainly brown. It was only when my body started the usual pre ov signs i thought that maybe that was a period. I then had another af two weeks later.

[sebsmummy1]

Thanks English. I don't understand how I can have four days of EWCM then two days later start spotting. I guess the answer is 'you've had a mc, your hormones are out of whack'. Annoying

[CorporeSarnie]

Hi sebs, I did look up the relevant bit of Taking Charge; it said that as oestrogen drops at ov it can cause bleeding (in some women, in some cycles). Wait and see what happens - the wtf cycle is so different between different people that I don't think any of us can predict it. I still have my fingers crossed for you.
I don't think I was on the other thread for long enough for stats, but:
CorporeSarnie, 37, TTC #2 since Jan 13, BFP Jul 13, MC Jul 13, haywire LP with spotting, began investigations Jan 14, BFP Feb 14. Very very nervous.

[OttersPocket]

Good morning everyone!

Nice to see you back deus, and well done on all the tith

I really hope you're still in with a chance this month Penguin, bloody hate this waiting part

Hi sal, you had us worried there. Imagine having a life outside of this thread and un-ttc related!

Ah sebs, your wtf cycle is especially wtf isn't it. Chin up, tits out lady, it'll all settle down soon I'm sure.

10DPO today and not a symptom in sight. Invested wasted some more money on acupuncture this morning, starting to think nothing will ever work. Save me from the naval-grazing pits of despair and self-pity!!

[sebsmummy1]

Yyy, you're right. It's another wait and see situation

How are you doing Sarnie?

[sebsmummy1]

Ok, have done some research and it does seem that you can expect AF 4-6 weeks after the date the miscarriage started. Mine started February 1st so if this is AF this is my normal cycle length. What's weird is the EWCM, but I guess that's my hormones going bonkers.

Hoping now my next cycle starts resembling something more expected. Have reset my fertility monitor totally and set today as day 1.

[Minkymooks]

Ooh can I add my stats too?
3335 god can't remember how old I am
Start again
35 TTC#2 nov 13. BFP dec 13, MC jan 13
Husband very happy the sex drought has ended - on a blimmin TITH mission this week!!!

[Minkymooks]

Actually try again
35 ttc #2 nov 13, BFP dec 13, MC jan 14. Shagtastic

[Minkymooks]

New to the knicker watching and so far have been outbid on ebay so no kits to pee on!

If AF arrived 19th - is that CD 8? First cycle post MC so don't know if back to normal - have a 26/27 day cycle. But just started bleeding again - little bit, bright red with quite a bit of mucus ( sorry TMI!!!).??? Prob too early for rampant TITH but going for it anyway! Mr minks thinks it's Xmas! ( he also knows not "right" time and we're "practising" so no "performance" anxiety) aren't men weird!

Glad to hear about the BFPs!! So impatient now just to get one can't begin to think how hard the wait from the BFP to the 12 wk scan might WILL be.......

Sarnie - have you decided what to do re scan? Can you reschedule for a week later? Then much better chance of seeing?


Had a day of pampering yesterday - prompted by my 2 yr old DD shouting "mummy hairy bottom" at my lady bits. No more thigh plaits for me!!Eurghhhhh

[Minkymooks]

Sebs - my WTF cycle was bang on my normal cycle length and I also had the CM you describe. It then went back to normal but just more cramps compared to normal.

How do I make bold type on an iPad?! Want to say hello!

[Minkymooks]

hello

[Minkymooks]

Sorry - I am clearly special today

[Misspositivity]

sal. Phew your ok. Eyebrow stencils indeed!!!

For project desperate this month I am filling my diary with alcohol related events following when my next AF is due because it would be rotten luck to be upduffed and ruin all my fun. Gotta work with my luck.

Was going to try angus castus and bought a bottle but was scared off by bold print on side saying don't use of trying to get preggers. Any advice ladies. Use all of cycle or first 2 weeks lots of different info on line.

[picklebum2011]

Minky u made me lol. Men are funny with performance anxiety aren't they? I sometimes have to tell dh it isn't s good time so he relaxes.
Haven't tested today really trying to wait till Friday... Ahh keep having a heavy feeling like AF coming lost count of amount of times I'm in and out if the loo. Trying so hard to stay in the positive zone. Tits are indeed out!!! Forward thinking all the way.

[picklebum2011]

Mispos is there a health shop near you you could ask in.. My local peppers have always been really good at answering questions.

[Metalhead]

Ha ha Minky, love the hairy bottom comment!! I'm going to have to become a bit more conscientious about removing unwanted hairs again myself now that we have to start again... (poor DH hasn't seen any action since I got pregnant in December!).

Miss that sounds like a good plan re: the boozy nights out. Sod's law says you will get your BFP before the first event!

pickle I had that AF-is-coming feeling for at least 2 weeks after I got my BFP, I think it is quite normal in early pregnancy.

My bleeding/spotting has stopped completely now, and I'm desperate to start exercising again as I feel so bloated from all the comfort chocolate I've been eating. Might venture out for a short run tomorrow and see how I get on.

[EnglishGirlAbroad]

Sal i'm quite jealous of your trip to professional beauty!! I love the people watching!! Full of Amy Childs/Jordan wannabes!!

MissP - Go on naturalfertilityshop.com there's quite a lot of info on lots of different herbs etc. I'm using it and planning on doing so all the way through until I get my bfp. I have read though that you can take it in a smaller dose when upduffed.

Minky you have cracked me up!!

[Parsley2506]

otters I am returning your positive vibes from when I was in the glumps. Our time will come my dear! The fact we've had such long waits for just the one BFP is a special layer of added shitness but I am sure we'll come good in the end. You could join the Berries in the meantime, it's a lovely supportive thread for us long term ttc-ers.

[Penguin13]

Otters you're definitely still in with a chance. Remember the mantra. You're not out till.....keeping everything crossed for you.

[Seasides]

Awkward question... does anyone else get a bit...mentally wanderry around OV? I love DH entirely and would never/have never cheated, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that women are prone to a bit of mental wanderlust when fertile, and I do get that a bit! Never at any other time of the month...and I'm ov'ing today I think. There's no one at all in the office I fancyvat all, it's just a bit of mental...hmmm.

[Metalhead]

I can't say I've ever noticed it around ov time Seasides, though I do sometimes get frisky dreams where I wake up all hot and bothered... but that usually only happens when we've not had sex for a long time (like last week - I think the dream involved some muscly long-haired Viking-type )

[OttersPocket]

Seasides yes, I've had this mental wandering of which you speak. I've also, in darker moments, wondered if another blokes spermies would work better for me. Like, might be more compatible or summat But obviously i would never go there, nor would I actually ever want to go there iyswim? It's just the ttc madness for me

[HollyBen]

Don't think I am going to make it to poas on friday - feeling crampy and my probbing has detected some pinkish cm. Sat at my desk trying not to cry Met my heavily pg friend for lunch. She announced her pg the day my mc was confirmed and is on mat leave. Got me thinking I would be geting ready to go off too. Now it looks like 1cycle to go until edd.

[Seasides]

Oh no holly , sorry. Bitching witch.

I feel like a teenage boy, I must actually be ovulating as I type! It's ridiculous. Lol otter , my sister joked to her boyf who has super-sperm that she should loan him to me ..apparently he didn't see the funny side

[OttersPocket]

Oh Holly, that really does suck big time. I really hope you're still in the running this month love. It's so so difficult having friends and relatives with similar due dates to us mc'ers You're not out quite yet, be kind to yourself
