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?

Hi all. Marking my place. Will catch up on what I've missed now....

CakesALot · 24/03/2014 15:59

Oh sebs Sad I'm so sorry you're feeling like that. Sometimes you need a really good wallow in the crap before you can begin to feel better again. There will be a better again as well, but I know it's so hard finding the patience for it to come round. More un-MN hugs coming your way. And here's some Cake too xx

TeaRex · 24/03/2014 16:07

Hi all, am back from my weekend away, had a good time but back to reality with a bump.

Sats: TeaRex 32, TTC no. 2 since Aug'13, MMC Jan'14.

Sorry you're feeling so sad sebs I feel the same and you know what, it's justified, our bodies did let us down. Allow yourself time to feel upset and then tomorrow you will jump out of bed cuto style and have yourself a better day

TeaRex · 24/03/2014 16:09

Oh and hello zahazie may your stay be a short one but this is a great place to pass the time :)

Seasides · 24/03/2014 16:22

sebs: you are outside weeding your fab-looking garden, you are healthy, you are mobile and you are fertile, it's just a longer, sadder journey than any of us hope for. That is a trout of a sentence! You are going to be fine, you are going to make your bean that will stay put, and in an unspecified though hopefully short length of time you will accidentally send messages on another thread because you haven't slept properly for months with your beautiful new child. Chin up, love, and get those shit hot tits out.

Metalhead · 24/03/2014 17:15

Ah sebs, my stats buddy - sorry you're feeling so rubbish today! Has AF actually arrived yet though? You know what they say, you're not out until it does... [clutching at straws]

Good work on the flower bed, that looks really nice! And here, have some Thanks to cheer you up.

Triplespin · 24/03/2014 17:28

I don't check for one morning and there is a new thread already! Love the title.

My stats are below

Ttc#2 since Feb2013; Mc#1 June 2013 at 5+3; mc#2 March 2014 at 6+3. Can't make it to even seeing a heart beat.

Sorry I haven't caught up on everyone's news. parsley sorry to hear the witch has arrived. Are you planning to see the GP or did I just imagine that?

sebs sorry you are feeling low. We have all been there. At least you are better off than me, mc twice! Fx you will get a sticky bean soo . Love the flower bed!

Cakebaker35 · 24/03/2014 17:31

Ah sebs, loving the flower bed, sorry you're feeling low but you're definitely allowed to have a good old wallow. Plus Cake of course. How about burying those cheap tests in your new flower bed!? Grin

Welcome to all the newbies, you'll find great support from some fabulous ladies here.

Cakebaker35 · 24/03/2014 17:34

Oooo and do I get the prize for oldest ovaries on this thread?? (37) Another greetings card needed for that surely Smile

Triplespin · 24/03/2014 17:36

Ooh I forgot my age. Nearly 36!! So not too far off cake

MissHobart · 24/03/2014 17:46

MissHobart 33 ttc #1 since Jan'13, mc July'13 and Dec'13

Currently due on tomorrow, bfn last Saturday, no symptoms of anything at all this month Confused

Parsley2506 · 24/03/2014 18:19

Have we picked up a bunch of new blood with this thread? Welcome aboard and sorry you find yourselves here. Wishing short stays for all of you

sebs your flower bed looks lovely! I wish you didn't feel so down and I also wish you weren't blaming your body, it hasn't let you down even though it feels that way. Big hugs for you.

Yes Triple - GP tomorrow. Not specifically MC related, more to find out where we stand on our frustratingly epic ttc journey. 2 years in now but I have a nasty feeling the BFP, despite failing, will have re-set the timer on further investigations. Outcome of this appt will decide whether we squander utilise our savings on private treatment I think....

Aloha!!

Don't forget me!!

Sal1977 36 ttc#1 since Aug 2012. 3 x MC Mar/jul/nov'13

Fuck, my stats are the most depressing out of everyone's!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 24/03/2014 19:01

Welcome newbies... Sorry you've found yourselves here. May you stay be short and sweet. Feel free to wallow, moan, rant and cry. We've all been there.

Sebs - I know you feel your body is failing you but its just reseting ready for a nice sticky bfp! CUTO and a big hug!!

Parsley - I'd be inclined to stamp my feet if I were you! Two years is a long time and the mc just adds insult to injury!! Any decent doctor would at least offer some initial investigations. Its so unfair that a mc resets the whole long and frustrating process! Good luck!!

broodylicious · 24/03/2014 19:35

My stats - age 35 21, ttc #2, mc feb 27 at 12 weeks, currently awaiting AF at some point during this WTF cycle.

LittleMissSunshine33 · 24/03/2014 19:35

Hi all room for 1 more? A few names I recognise for other posts sorry to see you here glad to have others who know how I feel google just is too conflicting!!
I'm ttc #1 since nov '13 MC March'14 30yrs

Feel I'm in limbo don't know when to start ttc when I may be due/ovulating?! Blush

officelady · 24/03/2014 19:43

Evening all! Had a minor panic when I saw that the old thread was full, but managed to follow you here - phew!

My stats: Officelady, 42, ttc#3, mc Feb 2013, mmc Mar 2014.

I am the oldest Confused No wonder I'm not getting anywhere with this ttc lark!
I have news of great importance to share with you, brace yourselves ... last night we ended the the Great Shagging Drought of 2014 and got some bedroom action Grin First time since BFP in January and first time since mc. I'm pretty sure I'm nowhere near ovulating yet so it was purely for recreational purposes. I'm glad that milestone is out of the way - hopefully another step on the road to getting upduffed.

tannyLoo · 24/03/2014 19:47

Oh dear, I'm the oldest and the saddest. And my garden looks like shit!

TannyLoo 41, TTC #3, MC @ 6 weeks Dec 2012, MMC @ 12 weeks April 2013, MC @ 6 weeks Oct 2013, MC @ 6 weeks (blighted ovum) Dec 2013, MC @ 6 weeks Feb 2014.
Currently on a 3 month break while we have further tests, but had one blood test that suggests an autoimmune issue.
I've been lurking rather than posting for a few days

Croftgirl80 · 24/03/2014 19:49

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while but here are my stats:

croft girl80 33yrs TTC #1 since November '13, MC February '14

Think Im still in the midst of the WFT cycle as have had spotting and light AF (?) but no where near normal Confused I am sooo desperate for a 'normal' cycle so I know where I am!

tannyLoo · 24/03/2014 19:51

Office I forgot you were a similar vintage to me!

Viperama · 24/03/2014 20:03

I guess that's a bronze metal for me in the ancient stakes Wink

Viperama 38 TTC #1 since January 14, MC February 14

CD6 today....bring it on ladies, let's do this this month!

Carly6971 · 24/03/2014 20:16

Loving the new thread...also feeling shit today :,( hugs to the rest of you who are down, these bad days creep up from no where!

As for me:

TTC #1 since 2007 :( bfp jan 2014 mc Feb 2014 at 9+5 and still miss what could have been every single day but am eternally grateful for all the support I have had on here x

MissHobart · 24/03/2014 20:20

Shock @ Carly - 2007?! Are you under investigations yet? Thanks for you!

Get onto your GP!

tannyLoo · 24/03/2014 20:27

Oh Carly, the shit days are shit. Have a dozen or so shoulders to cry on. They're broad and comforting. You too Sebs.

I've been doing so much wallowing and navel gazing that I've been a bit rubbish. But today I feel ok.

Carly6971 · 24/03/2014 20:29

I have been to gp and fertility consultant, had clomid but won't do any more until I loose weight. I have pcos so that is hard in itself especially when your always down about ttc...grrrrrr! But trying again now so fingers crossed will power stays strong. But in the same boat as parsley thinking that natural bfp will put us back to square one anyway :,( fml!!
