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?

Sorry the witch got you seaside Since my mc I get sore boobs from ov until af is more or less over. It is quite literally a pain in the tits though it means I can ignore that when symptom spotting

Gosh metal that's awful you had to wait five days for the procedure! And then to mc naturally instead anyway. I wonder if that's normal everywhere else here? I know my doc said I'd have been waiting for three days for an emergency scan which I think is completely unacceptable.

Five days - that is not ok. How sad these waiting times mean there must be so many women in the same situation.

DH has just worked out that starting af early this month means that next month isn't a write off. If I OV on CD17 again, that's the day he leaves for 2 weeks away, so there's my silver lining I suppose. If the witch had arrived any later, next month would have been out.

Thinking of you triple.

I was the same as metal, I just wanted things over with. I chose the medical management initially, but it didn't work for me, my body obviously didn't want to give up on the pregnancy and spending 10 hours pacing around the hospital, psyching myself up for the ordeal, for nothing to happen, was really hard. The lovely staff got me booked in for an ERPC the following morning and it was swift, painless and I was tucked up at home by lunchtime.

It is a completely personal decision and I hope whichever you choose goes ok. As ok as these things can anyway

Thinking of you Triple. I chose ERPC as my body wasn't showing much sign of realising the pregnancy wasn't viable and was keen to move on with life. Our NHS trust doesn't offer the medication option anyway, they take a dim view of that in North London apparently. Really hope today goes ok for you. I was in surgery at 9am and home drinking coffee (which I'd really missed for the past few weeks) by lunchtime.

I think I was unlucky in that I was seen on a Thursday and they don't do routine procedures over the weekend. Still wasn't too pleased about it though... I wasn't offered medication either Little, it was either ercp or natural mc (though I don't think I would have chosen medication anyway).

Metal that does sound unluckily, we normally have a long wait for anything in London but a lovely nurse at UCH took pity on me and found a slot somehow. I'd never had a general before which terrified me but there was really nothing to be scared of, I quite enjoyed how spaced out it made me tbh. Helped with the emotional traumatic side of things!

I had to wait 5 days for ERPC time round. This time they managed to get me an apt they initially offered me an apt 3 days later but rang back later with an apt the next day. They do it as day surgery here so the slots do get booked up. And I think they are perhaps hoping it'll happen naturally in the meantime.

Like the positive thinking seasides. Some more positivity - I managed to loses 2lbs last week!

Morning ladies, just checking in. Thinking of you triple and we are all here for you. Let us know how you are doing.
I went to a wedding yesterday with DS who turns 2 in a few weeks time. He was a little angel which was lovely but cue lots of comments about 'isnt it time for another one?' 'Im surprised You've not got another one on the way by now!' Sigh. if only they knew.
Also had another comment on Saturday which before now I never ever thought I could get upset by: 'Ooh you've lost weight! What have you been doing?'. Which left me thinking: well i've had a very small baby, then been quite depressed for a couple of weeks. But I just smile and say thankyou, its not his fault poor guy.

Seasides I'm sorry the witch got you. It's especially horrible when you get symptoms which get you hoping. Good news that you can hopefully try again this month after all.

Viper good luck for weds we are overdue a BFP so fx you're the one!
Sebs you are putting me and H to shame with your steamy TITH shenanigans applause Definitely time to invest in some curtains though!

I got a positive cb digi peak on sun which took me by surprise as it was cd12 and last peak was on cd17. There hadn't been much TITH on the menu last week thanks to excessive busyness TTC fatigue so am of course stressing about not doing it enough but one or two well-timed bd sessions could still be as good as loads....right?

Triple like everyone has said it's such a personal decision. I chose ERPC with my mmc as it had been 6 to 7 weeks already and my body was clearly not going to suddenly recognise I wasn't pregnant any more. It was the right choice for me and enabled me to feel a bit more in control of a situation which was out of my hands. I hope whatever you decide that you don't have to wait too long.

Just caught myself perving on a bloke at work who under normal circumstances I wouldn't fancy at all! Is this all part of the fun of the WTF cycle turning my hormones upside down?! Or is the horniess related to the fact I might be ovulating at last (3 weeks post ERPC)??! Such fun!

Penguin when I got my ill-fated BFP before Christmas we only had TITH once on the day I got my +opk so I wouldn't stress about not doing it loads. (And I'm sure the fact it was a one-hit wonder had nothing to do with why this pg ended in mc.)

gail what date is your lb's birthday? Our dd will turn 2 on march 26 so its a strange coincidence we should meet here after our 12 week heartaches that were a week apart and babies with similar birthdays!

Lol at you perving cakes! Nothing wrong with an innocent little perve

Echo metal on the timing, penguin - we only dtd three times the whole month in December but I still got upduffed.

Agreed re well timed bd. Can absolutely lead to a pregnancy, my sister is a case in point. Second cycle, one quickie due to TTC fatigue and mc cycle all over the place - successful pregnancy. Fingers crossed

Lol, for a sec there I thought you meant your sister's existence sebs, and that you knew a majorly weird amount about how she was conceived!! My bfp was from a one-shot wonder too, we were so busy moving house.

That's probs the ovulation eyes cakes, I get it really badly!

Lol, glad I'm not alone seasides! Mighty distracting when you're trying to get work done! It didn't help that he was talking about how much he loved being a dad. Maybe it was just my ovaries craving his clearly healthy sperm?!

Ovulation Eyes! I love that! I used to get it a lot before my mc's, suddenly perving on every fertile man in sight to the point of getting flustered whilst trying to work! Always assumed it meant ovulation was near!

Sort of stopped until this weekend just gone! Very horny and feeling mighty attractive! Then got a positive opk so TITH galore twice over the last few days! One more go and I'll be in the TWOT!

Ah, broody my little boy's birthday is 3rd April so we are very close with our timings! Let's take that as a good omen for us both getting BFP's at the same time soon!

Omg in my yoof I totally was on heat over my fertile window. I always wondered why I was quite happy being single bar one time in the month I was gagging for it. I really should have been a little less naive and guessed that it had something to do with hormones.

Thing is when you're not in the market for getting knocked up you take absolutely no notice of cm, cycle lengths, quality of uterine lining lol. I can remember having fights with slippery wet stuff when I wiped and wondering what the fuck it was. Then it would go away and i'd forget about it. It's only now that I'm looking for the stuff I realise just how important it was, I just never knew it.

You are so right, Sebs, I took no notice of it at all until trying to TTC and found that sort of thing just annoying and baffling! Nowadays you'll hear a little whoop coming from the bathroom when the slippery wet stuff appears!

Heh ovulation eyes that's brilliant. Also explains turning into a quivering wreck in cafe Nero. I thought I was just your common or garden perve, now I know I can blame my hormones Although it can get obsessive I've quite enjoyed becoming more attuned to my body during the ttc process.

Thanks for all your reassurance on the precision timed TITH ladies. This 2ww I was determined to not obsess, assume I wasn't pg and let things take their course. Not even in the 2ww yet and my laid-back demeanour is shattered .

Ok gail so April 3 is our wedding anniversary!!! How strange!!! And yes, definitely an omen. Come on buddy, let's get knocked up

Penguin I'm quite happy my cycle seems to have synced with yours. Can we obsess together please? wags tail excitedly
