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?

Haha Holly I think H must have done a cost/benefit analysis and the potential of having lots of hot TITH must have weighed significantly on the benefits side. I love AP they know how to do kink with class Grin he even got exactly the right size which is a miracle considering I have put on half a stone in the last year

Cakes really sorry you're having a difficult time. I think it's a normal part of the grieving process. As much as I would like to get pregnant again I still think about the baby we lost 4 months ago. Like Littlelady says, some days are better than others. Hugs for you.

Parsley2506 · 13/03/2014 17:13

Quick fly by, today has been mental! Happy birthday penguin - have fun christening the AP undies!

Happy birthday penguin! Hope you had a great day x

Sal1977 · 13/03/2014 20:16

Happy beeday Penguin!! Xxx

Penguin13 · 14/03/2014 06:53

Looks like I didn't ov just yet. Since I didn't get a temp rise despite positive opk I kept testing with my cb advanced which resets after 48 hours. Yesterday low. Today another peak. Anyone else had this? H is back tonight so will be deploying the new undies Grin

Anyone POAS today?

How are you Triple? Thinking of you.

Metalhead · 14/03/2014 08:01

Morning all, just checking in. No signs of ov here yet, I guess it'll be a rather long wait for my first post-mc AF. Been having all kinds of weird cm but nothing even vaguely resembling the fertile stuff.

Triple and Cake thinking of you both, hope you're doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.

sebsmummy1 · 14/03/2014 08:06

Penguin I remember fedup having that one cycle. I didn't realise you could get false peaks as I struggled to get one let alone two! Any other indicators re. EWCM?

Metalhead · 14/03/2014 08:19

Just realised we've got two cakes on here! I meant Cakebaker (though of course I hope Cakesalot is ok too Smile)

Triplespin · 14/03/2014 09:00

metal how many days now since your mc?

cakes I hope you are keeping well.

I started my heavy bleed yesterday and now at EPU this morning to get scanned to see if the miscarriage is complete. Then like all of you will probably start looking out for ovulation signs in 2-3 weeks time.

Seasides · 14/03/2014 09:00

Happy late birthday penguin - though sounds like most of the celebrating will be done tonight Grin. I LOVE AP undies, I go in just to look at them as sadly I don't have enough boobs for any of it. I could wear the nipple pasties Grin

Shock at so many 30/40-something grannies - my mum didn't even have me until she was 40 and my sis at 41! Mind you, she started having children at 21. No fertility problems there.

Feeling a little blue today and yday. I've been here for so long. Self-fish.

Sundance, how's it going?

Sorry you've been through it this week carly, and so sorry for your loss cakes.

Are you doing ok triple?

Any stealth pee-ers today?

Seasides · 14/03/2014 09:02

X-post, sorry triple - really good luck today, I hope it's all over for you now and you can be on to your healthy bean soon. Thanks

GailLondon · 14/03/2014 09:03

Morning everyone! Just checking in.

I'm on day 21 post MC, OV sticks still saying negative despite lots of EWCM. I think the lines are getting a little darker though so crossing fingers that ov is on the way in the next week!

Good luck to anyone POAS today!

GailLondon · 14/03/2014 09:04

Triple Thinking of you with your scan today, let us know how you get on xx

Penguin13 · 14/03/2014 09:05

Sebs the opks can tell you when your body is preparing to ovulate rather than that you definitely did. LH can surge without you actually releasing an egg so if that happens you can have a surge more than once in your cycle, which seems to have happened to me. What I don't understand is why I wouldn't have ovd after gearing up to as I wasn't ill or under more stress than usual. I don't appear to have ewcm this time but think I'm just gonna keep on truckin' with the TITH and hope all becomes clear.

Penguin13 · 14/03/2014 09:10

Oops cross-post. Typing is slow while walking! Good luck for your scan today Triple. Hope it goes as well as it can do.

TeaRex · 14/03/2014 09:21

Hope you're okay triple

Fx for any ladies poas as well, and anyone waiting for ov as well

sebsmummy1 · 14/03/2014 09:31

Hmmm I guess if your temps didn't go up as expected and you've now got another pos opk it does sound as though you didn't pop the egg. So frustrating!!! Yep defo keep stoking the fire and hopefully you will see a food temp rise soon xx

Triple - thinking of you. Hope the scan shows the mc is complete and you can start moving forward again mentally. Limbo land is crap, just feels like you're treading water till your cycle comes back again.

My mc now feels like so long ago it's really weird.

sebsmummy1 · 14/03/2014 09:34

Gail don't be too surprised if you get AF instead of Ov as I got EWCM and thought I was on the brink of ovulating and instead got my period. I was happy to see her but then wanted her to F the FO when she overstayed her welcome Grin

Cakebaker35 · 14/03/2014 09:39

Thinking of you triple, hope it goes as well as these things can today.

Thanks for all your kind messages, I'm bearing up, seeing lots of lovely friends and family and getting such great support here too - I'm now very glad I told more people in rl this time as it has been great to have the support this week. So many flowers, cakes and chocolates in my house, it does help lift my spirits a bit. Waiting now until my scan on Monday to see what's what and where we go from here.

Seasides, sorry you're feeling blue today, it's crap what a rollercoaster ride of emotions this all is. As always, my answer is more Cake Smile

Metalhead · 14/03/2014 10:03

Triple it's been 3.5 weeks now since my erpc - can't quite believe it's that long ago! But I had quite long cycles before so I guess it's to be expected to take a while now.

Good luck for your scan, I hope the worst (physically) is over now and you can start to move on.

Littlelady33 · 14/03/2014 10:10

Hope the scan goes ok Triple - it's so hard but this is hopefully the end of limbo and the start of you being able to move on. Traumatic though it all was, I tended to see it that way.

Carly6971 · 14/03/2014 13:29

triple thinking of you today! I found the check up scans after mc really hard! sitting with all the happy preggos, so hope you get through ok :) x

seasides the bad days are horrid aren't they? Hope your ok x

metal I am 4 weeks today since end of mc bleeding and just shy of 6 weeks since mc started and I still have no positive opk or af :,( never wanted my period so bad, seems as though everyone else got theirs pretty quick after :( although my cycles are irregular and anything from 32/34-42/44 days :( grrrrrr! Nothing's simple for us is it! Lol x

Happy Friday everyone :) x

Metalhead · 14/03/2014 13:58

Sounds like you and I can be cycle buddies Carly! Smile Mine averaged 35 days, but occasionally I've had 42 day ones and of course not to forget the 82 day WTF cycle last year.

Penguin13 · 14/03/2014 13:59

Hi Carly, it really sucks waiting I know. Don't give up hope though. My AF took about 5 and a half weeks to appear after ERPC, got it just after my first negative test. Really hope limbo is over for you soon.
