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?

What's TITH stand for? Blush

TeaRex · 02/03/2014 20:16

Toad in the hole :) aka sexy time Grin
A few of us here in crap jobs as well then? Icing in the cake really isn't it lol

broodylicious · 02/03/2014 20:28

Lol! I really do like you lot, first time I've smiled since Thursday reading that Smile

tannyLoo · 02/03/2014 20:30

Good! Grin

Parsley2506 · 02/03/2014 20:32

Confused at veggie TITH. Oh wait, everything but the toad? Grin

lacy sorry I think missed your first post. Welcome to you too and sorry you've had to join our motley crew.

Shame we've all had to go through what we have to find such a bunch of good eggs.

Had a text last night from pg friend asking how I am (the one who oh so sensitively told me about her pg in reply to my message to her about the MC). Haven't replied yet, not sure what to say. She's probably due not that long after my EDD, I'd rather stick my head in the sand till it's over I think but that's very antisocial!

Managing to smile a bit more today, got home to find a delivery of flowers from my manager (who's wife had mc twice before their children were born).
Got a faint positive on HPT today ( it's day 7 after mc at 12 weeks for me), so hoping that fades away in the next few days as hub and me keen to get going again!
Have my follow up scan on Thursday so keeping everything crossed for a nice healthy looking uterus!
Hi broody , seems like we are in the same position with it being just before the 12 week scan. Big hugs to you and best wishes

tannyLoo · 02/03/2014 20:44

I also thought I ought to add my stats. I haven't looked at them since I lost this last one, and it's horrid having to add another MC.

tannyLoo - 41, 2 DSs, age 14 and 2, TTC#3 for 15 months, MC @ 5+5 weeks in Dec 2012, MMC @ 11+5 weeks but measured 6 weeks in April 2013, MC @ 6+2 weeks in Oct 2013, MC @ 6+4 weeks in Dec 2013 (Blighted Ovum), MC @ 6+6 weeks in Feb 2014.

Under investigation (finally) and so far I have high IgG levels which mean I could have Antiphospholipid syndrome. Either that or I'm too old or just bloody unlucky. Previously diagnosed with Super Fertility.

Currently taking aspirin and folic acid.

Remember the good old days when you had too much to drink, went "oops" and 9 months later had a babba? I miss those days...

broodylicious · 03/03/2014 07:01

Holy moly. I don't know how you're still standing. Much love xxxxThanks

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/03/2014 07:32

Hey ladies, been a busy weekend so haven't had much time to post, but I think I've caught up!
Sorry you have found yourself here Lacey and Broody. Really hope your stay with us is a short one. So sorry for your losses. The ladies here are really the best, they've helped me so much! Broody - I haven't been able to find te ante-natal thread you were on. Not sure I want to. I fear I will recognise a few of the 'faces' there. I'm really sad that you had a bad experience there. People can be so insensitive.Hmm

We've had friends over, I was able to have a really nice heart to heart with our friends g/f. Turns out she's having a pretty long and in eventful TTC journey. Although we're both in different places it nice chat and vent with each other.

Back to work this morning.... Fanny galore! ShockShock Then a reflexology appointment this afternoon! Can't wait!

Hope you all have a good day. Lots of posifrickintivity from me to you Smile

broodylicious · 03/03/2014 07:47

Hi english. I remember your name - were you part of the September group a while back? Thank you for the welcome xx

deuscat · 03/03/2014 08:42

Hi ladies. Broody and Lacey, welcome. So sorry for your losses but I'm sure you'll find some support with the lovely ladies here.

CD29 here. AF due any day now but no real symptoms so far. It often starts without much warning though so that's not a hopeful thing! I'm hoping to get to Friday and then POAS. I'm actually really nervous of AF's arrival. It's going to be a loooong week!

sebsmummy1 · 03/03/2014 09:11

Good luck deus. Everything crossed for you xxx

OttersPocket · 03/03/2014 09:36

Hi everyone, and welcome to our weird little clan newbies. I hope everyone had a smashing weekend? I have to admit that mine was a lot of fun and generally quite boozy in honour of MrOtters birthday and two year ttc anniversary Grin

And in ttc news my body is misbehaving again. AF was due yesterday but no sign of it yet. I'll be really bloody pissed off if I've suddenly become immune to Clomid. DP and I even had some tith this morning to kick start things Blush. I'm definitely not upduffed, I've peed on 10 or so a stick and nuffin. Writing this down will no doubt hasten her arrival. I feel a cotton bud moment approaching.....

EnglishGirlAbroad · 03/03/2014 10:28

Yes broody, I was on the September ante-natal for all of a week before Mother Nature dealt a low blow! Your in safe, friendly and supportive hands here. Take time to let yourself heal, physically and emotionally. Rant and moan as much as you like. Smile

broodylicious · 03/03/2014 11:35

"Well, you've got your dd to get your through it"
"At least you know you can get pregnant so you'll do it again"
"Miscarriage is so common, x had a few before she had x"

I know people mean to be kind, but I'm getting seriously naffed off with hearing the above. Yes, one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, I know that, but it's certainly not common to me so why do they say it?!

broodylicious · 03/03/2014 11:36

I'm off now, english, felt good to get that rant out! Xxx

Metalhead · 03/03/2014 11:47

I guess people are just trying to be supportive broody, trying to find something positive to focus on or letting you know you're not on your own. Plus they probably don't know what else to say! But I understand it's not what you want to hear right now.

CakesALot · 03/03/2014 12:08

Hi all! I've been lurking around these threads for a few weeks and finally decided to join in as you've all brought me some reassurance and a smile to my face!

I'm 30, TTC #1 since Nov 2013. BFP early Jan 2014 and MMC confirmed mid-Feb 2014 at what would've been 9 weeks. ERPC two weeks ago tomorrow. Feeling ok about it all. Occassionally those pesky remaining hormones get the better of me and I get rather weepy, but mostly keeping busy and feeling positive about the future.

We're really keen to start trying again as soon as possible. The pregnancy was planned and came about fairly easily but I was in no way prepared for it to go wrong. My mum and sister have always banged on at me about how easily they got pregnant and how hassle free their pregnancies were that I'd been over-confident about how it would be for me.

I'm so sorry for all your losses and difficulties, but thank you for sharing your experiences as it has helped me no end Smile

miserywaterfall · 03/03/2014 12:22

Hi all...happy Monday? Hmm! Hopefully it's not been too bad so far Smile

Broody, bloody hell, can't believe the stuff people have said to you!! I had a few similar things from real life people and I actually had to take to Facebook to just say 'Look, if you dunno what to say to someone grieving, don't bother saying anything!' and since then it's been better.

My weekend was eventful in that I got married Grin Of course my first AF post mmc arrived with a vengence last Tuesday and it's only finally buggering off now, so time to jump in with the... TITH is it you guys call it? I kinda love that expression lol.

Hope everyone's doing well

Sundance2007 · 03/03/2014 12:25

Happy New ttc week everyone!
Welcome newbies, hope you are doing ok, I mc at 12+3 and 11+5, the first I started mc on the same day as scan too so I completely get where you're coming from there!! Most people look forward to scans, I would always dread them now.

Feeling massively stupid as I'm still in the 2ww but was a bit naughty this weekend getting totally sloshed with DH at a friends birthday. We haven't done that in so long so it was nice, and I don't think we had enough TITH this month to be in with a shot. Still, it wasn't all bad, we went to a casino and I won £60....not bad to say I'm a 50p gambler in those places!

OttersPocket · 03/03/2014 12:26

Congratulations miserywaterfall!! I need wedding details please! tell us all about it.

I recently got engaged and I need inspiration Grin One of the other brilliant women of this thread has, I think, found a wedding venue for me

OttersPocket · 03/03/2014 12:28

Ah don't worry about the boozing Sundance, I did the same this weekend Grin. I've been ttc for two years now and it would've been an even longer and more hellish two years if I's abstained from everything!

OttersPocket · 03/03/2014 12:28

If I'd abstained....damn ipad.

Parsley2506 · 03/03/2014 12:35

Congrats misery - definitely need some details pls!

Well done on your winnings sun - I never win anything (spot the theme...) so very impressed!

Any response to MC (or any loss) that starts "at least" is bad. Don't try to minimise what happened thank you very much! And I wanted THAT baby by the way, so stop talking about future ones. Grr! Luckily no one does that to me anymore because I have become a total recluse as time has moved on.

CUTO!

sebsmummy1 · 03/03/2014 12:55

Congratulations misery, lovely news Grin

Oh god I agree with the sentence starting with 'at least' and that gps for most things actually, be it problems, general woes and tragic happenings. When you are stuck in a crap loop and someone says 'at least you aren't living in Syria at the moment and have all your limbs/teeth/marbles delete as appropriate' I just smile weekly want to punch them

I know I've a lot to be grateful for but sometimes I feel like crap. I also deal with this by talking to 1.5 people a day and no more lol
