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?

Good luck tomorrow Cake GA is a daunting thought, but you're out for only a short time and hopefully after tomorrow you can begin to move on.

tanny you and I were on the exact same cycle, it's 28 days since my mc and ovulated day 14. But AF hasn't shown up yet today! I'm a bit mystified, I've felt like I have pre AF cramps since Sunday. Still waiting to have that have some for me please.

Good luck for tomorrow cake I'll be thinking of you.

Could I join in please?

I had a mc at 5+5 in October, fell pg again on next cycle and the exact same thing happened again - mc at 5+5 - even my hormone levels were identical.

Got bloods done and confirmed last week that all is fine. We'd originally said we'd wait until we moved home to try again but that could take a year and I don't want to put life on hold only to try and have another mc - so giving it one more try before further tests.

AF due in just under 2 weeks and we've been dtd the last week so fingers crossed.!

cake goodluck for today, it will be quick and hopefully like me you'll find that when it's over you'll be able to sort through your feelings a bit easier, fx crossed for you

Hello to office and kitkat sorry to you both for your losses, and I hope your visit to this thread is a short one.

No ttc news from me, AF gone finally just waiting on ov which could occur next week or in another 4+ weeks, got to love my crappy cycles

Good luck for today cake.
Office lady and kitkat, welcome and sorry for your losses, I hope this time is the one for both of you.
I wish I had a perfect cycle like some of you, I'm cd13 and no signs of ov so looks like it will be late ish again an then ill also have a short LP (9 days last time) and no bfp sorry not feeling very positive this morning!! Will keep hoping tho!

Good luck for today, cake. I hope that it is as quick and painless as it can be, and gives you some closure ready for a new start.
I'm back to work today, nobody at work knew I was pregnant and I only took 1 day off when I first found out about the mmc and took yesterday off to go for my second scan. I have told people I was having "gynae problems". In some ways it made it easier (apart from the constant fear that I would start to miscarry while at work - I was on constant knicker watch and I'm sure I single-handedly filled the sanny bins in the toilet!) but in other ways it has been hard because of thoughtless comments from well-meaning people - "oh, do you think it's early menopause?" etc. Anyway today marks the start of Operation Moving On. Just need my hormones to settle the fuck down and get back to some sort of normality.

Welcome officelady and kitkat May your stay here be short and sweet.

AF arrived this morning so feeling a bit better now and DP will be back in time for the beginning of our TTC festival

Have a good day ladies

Cake good luck today.

Viper pleased (?) AF came. Have a "Congratulations on your textbook cycle!" card from me.

Office welcome. I'm at the (ahem) upper age range too. I understand that time pressure all too well!

Well my textbook cycle isn't quite as good as I thought. I'm bleeding through a pad in an hour or so and passing some big clots. The blood is bright red. (So sorry for TMI) I think I'm ok but keeping an eye on it as I had a haemorrhage with one of my MCs. Serves me right for being so smug.

I wouldn't worry Tanny it's probably your Womble having a good clear out.

Got a really BFFN today, despite taking it out the bin and having another look. Cotton bud no.34 has started turning a pink colour so I guess that is another cycle down the fucking swanny. Gutted as for the last year I've been averaging a BFP every 4 months followed by MC. It's a year tomorrow that my big MC started and I was convinced I'd be at least upduffed by now. Well I guess I have been another two times. Ballbags.

The guy that owns the salon where I rent a treatment room has texted me and asked if I want to take the whole place on. Errrr...no thanks. I'm on a sweet deal and making good money at the mo, so don't need the added stress. Just hoping he doesn't close it otherwise I've got to find somewhere else. That'll be a pain in the arse!!

Just found out that cheating ex-hubby proposed proposed to his rat bag of a girlfriend to make their family complete (they had a baby in December). Feels a bit wierd and I was hoping Karma was going to pay a visit, but I guess looking at his bride to be, she already has!! Hehe also secretly pleased my mate said their baby has a big nose.

Trying to stay upbeat. It's hard when you know AF is coming but you're still waiting. At least when it's CD1, you're into a fresh cycle!!

So I have a squinter this morn 8dpo with FMU (and I am seriously talking could be an evap line) and cm thick and creamy.

Please keep everything crossed for me and I know I'm not meant to be pissing on sticks unless it's a Friday, but I'm weak I tell you

Thinking of you today Cakebaker, I hope everything goes well.

Welcome to the newbies, I hope you can leave us again soon!

Sorry to everyone who's feeling a bit down today, we all get bad days even under the best of circumstances I think. I've been really down and stressed about work this week, but at least that's distracted me from brooding too much about ttc stuff.

I'm with you Tea, no idea when to expect ov this cycle but I will be using opks to make sure I don't miss it (if it happens). My AF seems to have buggered off again already, which makes this officially the shortest visit ever! I had some light bleeding Sunday morning which tapered off to spotting, then bad cramps and full flow on Monday and increasingly light bleeding yesterday, and then last night and today just a bit of pink. Anyone else had a really light first AF after their mc?

On a totally unrelated topic, poor DD came in this morning saying there was an ant in her room. When DH went to investigate it turned out to be a massive spider that had run into her doll's house!! I'm glad I didn't see it, it hate spiders...

Oooh x-post sebs - how exciting!! I told you the cm might be a good sign! Got everything crossed for you that this is the real deal and it's a sticky one this time. x

sebs ! Oooh! how squinty are we talking? Big fingers crossed for you!!!

Gail we are talking stupidly squinty. The only reason I even clocked it is because I have errrm 3 negatives that are sitting on top of it and about a hundred in the bin so to me it looks very exciting. To anyone sane it looks like a negative test.

We will see. I'm just needing a fisherman to drop a net full of trout on my head. I've already told DP he has permission to shake me vigorously when AF inevitably arrives and I dissolve. Roll on 11dpo.

Morning all!

Welcome to the newbies. So so sorry for you losses and that you find yourself here. But this is a nice place to find some support

Sebs - I'm with you at the moment, stoooopidly convincing myself that I'm pregnant, have all the same invisible symptoms I had last time, slight crampiness, irritability, reeeallly tired which are all signs AF is on her way and I think I'm around 7dpo so this is probably all in my head! Not said a word to DH although he keeps asking. Must get a grip and stop daydreaming! I may POAS this Friday although if I was really sensible I would hold out until the Friday after if AF hasn't come by then...

I'll stop rambling now. It's flipping distracting and I have soooo much to do at work today!!

Had a text last night: "reminder for Mrs Broody, march 20, 2:15, X hospital"

Phoned up appts team this morning asking what is it for.... "Oh it's a scan for your pregnancy.... Oh wait, no it's been cancelled sorry about that...oh goodness don't know how that's happened..."

Cue + Broody on phone to complain to relevant team. Furious. And actually vey vey vey upset :''(

Oh Broody I'm so sorry - that's a horrible experience, I've had similar and completely understand. Amazing how devastating an admin error can be.
Sebs everything crossed for you!

broody that's shit :( poor you

metal I don't use opks, I'd have up use hundreds of the bloody things and I'm back at work full time next week so how do you ladies that do use them manage it in the work loos? Might have to have a go with them if nothing's happening in a few weeks :)

Fx for you sebs :)

Broody, that's awful

Sebs keeping fingers crossed the squinter gets darker!

Symptoms wise for me, the only real thing I have this month and didn't have last month (or ever before pre-pregnancy) is that stretchy round ligament pain and that stitch in the side feeling... But I am thinking it's probably just things still settling down in there. I didn't really get the sore boobs or anything til about 6 weeks in, so all the boob poking I'm doing is pointless! Sigh. Have decided to try and take some time out of the TTC if it's not happened this month and try and get in a bit of better shape, emotionally but mostly physically. Diet has gone to shit lately, need to get some healithier stuff into my body and stop comfort eating!!

Happy Wednesday, and thinking of you Cake, hoping today goes as well as this shit day can go x

sal breaking the 4 month cycle might be a good thing, next time it'll be a different pattern and a keeper!
Must be so annoying eating about stupid exh and his ugly baby, I hope you don't see him/them often!

sebs put the sticks down! (But secretly fx for you). Captain Haddock is on his way to trout slap you.

That's shocking broody, I hope you told them where to go!

Tea I work from home so I can poas whenever I feel like it!

It seems the witch has not yet left the building after all, suddenly started cramping and bleeding again about an hour ago... I thought the WTF cycle referred to the period before AF arrives, not AF itself as well!!

aw Broody that is horrid - I got my appointment for my nuchal scan through the post last week, it was dated the same day as I found out I had a mmc so not their fault, but I hated having to ring up and cancel the appointment. I am hoping that is the last bit of the system that I need to remove myself from, there was going to be a consultant appointment in the pipeline (due to advanced maternal age ) but I'm hoping that will have been cancelled at their end. I certainly don't need any reminders of what I have lost, thanksverymuch!
I POAS when I got home from work and was pleasantly surprised to see only the faintest of faint positives, only visible after 10 mins and in a very strong light with lots of squinting. I had a mega-dark positive on Friday so it's a good move in the right direction, hope to be ovulating at some point in the next couple of weeks and I can jump on dh. TMI ALERT I haven't had sex since January .... almost forgotten what it's like!

Good news about the almost BFN officelady The only time a BFN is a good thing!

sebs ooh that sounds promising, but I will also fling a trout at you. 8dpo is far too early!! I hope You see a nice strong line on Friday!

metal ooh it's first AF. Hopefully you will be upduffed before the next one, but if not then maybe it will be less painful. It took quite some time for my cycle to sort out

parsley I agree its so much better to keep the hopes alive. Though I can never resist if I have sticks at home. So the plan this time is not to buy any sticks unless absolutely necessary.

office I have not poas to see if there is still a line. Am hoping my smaller boobs and decline in the voracious appetite is a good sign that the hcg levels are stopping. Also hoping to ovulate in a couple of weeks time, but I still bleeding on day 8. How long was your bleed?

Better than that, metal... I did what any no self respecting PR person would do and Tweeted my disgust. To the local newspaper. Journo been in touch, mega sympathies and lo, I have a full blown apology from head of midwifery.
