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?

Hey Sundance , can totally understand you feeling stressed out. I'm sure I'll be feeling the same if/when I get a bfp again. Can you plan a couple of nice things for yourself to look forward too, a meal out or book yourself a facial or manicure or something, a bit of me time. I find that if I have something nice planned for the weekend, the week flies by before i know it and that's another week ticked off!

As for me, i'm on day 17 post MC, and still getting negatives on OPK's. Hoping I might ovulate some time this week or next week. Had to wake hubby up for a quick TITH last night 'just in case'. Poor fella. :)

Rant away sundance we are here to lusten and nod our heads in agreement. Sounds like you have a lot of stress even without the bfp worry. With each of my pg (mc, DD, mc) I have had nausea from about 4 weeks. With pg2 I spoke to the epu as soon as I got my bfp and they booked mevin for a scan at 8 weeks. it took forever to come round but I just had to take a day at a time and keep busy

Highly qualified congratulations Sundance, because I'm sorry you're feeling so anxious. I know if I ever get another BFP the wait to find out if it's ectopic again will be worse than any of this. In a way maybe it's good you've so much else on, I suppose trying to take your mind of it until you can get some reassurance is the only option.

Going to borrow my friend's CBFM today and spaff a fortune on sticks that will tell me what I already know - that I ovulate fine. Each month I get more convinced my tube is blocked and I'm in this for the very long haul.

In other news, just booked flights down for when my sis gives birth! I am excited about that and not at all sick with envy .

Morning all, hope everyone is feeling ok today? I've been reading but not posting for a few days so sorry if I miss anyone out.

Sun I'm sorry you had such a bad night, but totally understand why you're so stressed. I wish I had an answer for you, but I'm a worrier too and not very good at switching off all those 'what ifs' going round my head...

Triple it's shit that you have to wait two weeks, I had the same between my two scans. Two weeks can seem like a lifetime! I also get what you're saying about them giving you false hope. After my first scan dated me 1.5 weeks behind I kept telling them something wasn't right, but the sonographer and midwives all just kept banging on about how my dates must be wrong even though I was sure about them. I'd say try and wait it out until you're 8 weeks though, at least then you will know for sure.

Well I've had a BFN this morning, it's been three weeks since my erpc and I'm hoping AF will come in the next few weeks so we can move on to the first proper cycle of ttc again! (Though so far I've not had any signs of ovulation yet so I'm not holding my breath for a quick appearance of the witch.)

Any news Viper? I believe this is special dispensation POAS Wednesday if memory serves?

sundance I have no advice other than try and remain positive, which I know is easier said than done! I too am an awful worrier and probably enjoyed a whole 3 days of my 9 weeks of pregnancy through worrying, and now I wish I had just relaxed more and enjoyed it more. I used to try and just forget and focus on day to day tasks...impossible really I know.

As for me my bestie had her little girl in the early hours, the text woke me up and although I am over the moon I spent from 3am crying for our loss, as we had spent so many hours laughing and talking about how our babies would only be 6 months apart and be best friends like us :) now she has her beautiful healthy little girl, who I can't wait to meet but brings it all home that ours will never be her little girls best friend :,( x

Carly I'm in the same position as you. My best friend is due in a month and we were so excited thinking ours would only be 4 months apart and good friends going little family holidays and to classes and things together. I'm happy for her but I am really struggling at the moment and I can't even bring myself to see her. She keeps asking me round to hers and I just can't bring myself to go and see her lovely nursery all stocked and ready. Shit times.

Keeping everything crossed for you Sundance Hope you can try to relax into it a bit, though obviously easier said than done x

misery it's awful isn't it? I am glad the baby is here now so no more listening to her moan about pregnancy (I don't think she meant to but she has been very insensitive at times towards me). I too have also avoided her like the plague, much easier for me as there is now a 2 hour car journey between us, but today have surprised myself as I really want to see the new baby, as with her other two I got to see them as soon as they were born, although this doesn't mean I haven't spent all morning crying with sadness for myself and at every pic she posts on blinking fb! X

Have just read on my old TTC thread that one of our lovely graduates has just lost her pregnancy. I am so devastated for her as she just found out she was expecting as I was miscarrying. Why is life so fucking unfair

sebs aww life is so shit at times! to want it enough to join ttc threads....these babies are all so wanted yet the ppl who don't want them, are junkies etc seem to get preg at the drop of a hat and never have any problems with their pregnancies...this is the fact I am struggling with so much! why do we loose our so wanted babies when millions are born to parents who don't want/care/love them each year!?!? X

So I Have been doing a lot of reading after not having much success with clomid I am thinking of buying some femara online :/ does anyone know anyone who has used this? X

Argh what the flip is going on with my cycle???
I'm on day 17 after MC. Today I'm getting loads of EWCM but it is tinged and streaked with blood. And my stomach is cramping. My stomach feels bloated and crampy like I'm about to get AF but its only day 17! Am I ovulating? I never felt bloated and crampy at OV time before.
And whats with the blood? My scan last week did say that there was a little fluid/blood remaining in the uterus...is it coming out now? Did DTD with hubby last night set off some bleeding?
ARGH

Gail I got a lot of EWCM and thought I was ovulating and my period arrived not long after!!!

Good to know Sebs. I'm going to be visiting the bathroom every half hour this afternoon to check!

Sebs do you mean a grad from this thread? I don't follow many other threads so don't know who you mean. That is awful news regardless but especially if it's one of our gang.

Carly my BFF and I were also preg at the same time. She ha her gorgeous little girl a month or so ago now and I'm actually ok with it but when my EDD comes around I know it'll be really crap not to be sharing babies together.

Sundance, sorry you're so stressed out but it's so understandable. If there's anything that helps you relax then latch on to that. We'll help you pass the time in the meantime.

3DPO here. Nothing to report!

I have consulted my app lol - Fri/sat/sun I had EWCM, then Monday nothing, Tuesday tan discharge, Wednesday spotting, Thursday full on bleeding. So it didn't happen immediately for me.

You could be ovulating. Are you testing negative on an HPT?

I too have a friend who's due with her second in about a month and we thought we'd have our babies close together. I am fine about seeing her now, but it was hard in the beginning to let go of those dreams of doing stuff together. Now I just think she might be able to help me out a bit with my baby when I finally have one as hers will probably be at least 1 by then...

Gail I had weird cramps and odd cm too last week, but I don't think I've ovulated as opks have all been negative so far. The blood could well be what was left in your uterus being dislodged by TITH last night...

Yep, have been negative on HPT tests for a good week now. I think I will convince myself that its ovulation until proven otherwise! Now, where's hubby? :)

sebs that sounds awful about one if our grads. Hope she is doing as well as she can given tg circumstances.

gail I had this for about 4 cycles post mc. Cm streaked with blood but eventually it went away. I think our bodies take time to normalise.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Any poas-ers coming up this Friday?

As for me I am feeling dead tired and super hungry due to the empty sac I am carrying. Couldn't even keep my eyes open at work while talking to my boss. I had some pink spotting as well, so could be a sign that things may happen naturally.

I have suggested she come over as at the moment she is trying to decide whether to opt for natural over medical intervention and i certainly don't have enough knowledge to advise.

I am so shocked just how common mc is no matter what your age. I just assumed I had mine because my eggs are decrepit.

That's sad news about the grad, of course she's always welcome here, to read, rant or ask any questions.

Just picked up my friend's CBFM and holy crap are the sticks pricey in Boots! Have ordered from eBay, why would I pay £50 when they're £20 online?! Nonsense. Even at £20 I feel I'm being taken advantage of, but all in the name of Project Desperate. Might as well stock up on cough mixture too, haven't tried that yet and I'm never well stocked with ewcm.

Bleeding started, so I think natural miscarriage is on its way. Quite relieved as wasn't too keen on waiting for 2 more weeks.

triple, and a big hug. I hope it's not painful, and if there's any silver lining, I'm glad you didn't have to wait too long.

Oh triple but as seasides said, you won't have that dreadful long wait

Hello all, i hope you don't mind me joining even though I'm technically not ttc yet but I've just had an mmc.

Thanks to sebs for the introduction, I found out on Monday that I've had the mmc, I was meant to be 10wks but started bleeding and so had a scan and it looks like things didn't progress much beyond 6 wks. We were told it would've been non identical twins. I'm waiting to go back to be scanned again on Monday to confirm just how much is left but as I'm not really bleeding too much I may be offered a d&c. Really not sure what to do but the idea of things dragging on for weeks sounds too much to cope with, feel like I can't begin to move on until that stops. Any experiences you feel you can share would be much appreciated as I'm not sure which way to go on this.
