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?

Well clearblue says 2-3 weeks, very mixed emotions, completely overjoyed followed but utter panic. I guess that's natural, lost my baby in January at 9 weeks and found out at the 12 week scan so I hope if I make past those points I'll be able to relax.
Thank you all for your support over the last 4/5 months xxxx

Fabulous news tea, have a wonderful uneventful pregnancy Flowers x

GandTnow · 03/05/2014 09:06

Great news tearex all the best for you Thanks!

Tranquility I think that it is totally normal respose to not want to see people, I hid away for ages and when I did finally come out of hiding bumped into the most insensitive person who blundered her way through discussing my mc as if it were her business!

Just be kind to yourself and take as much time as you need.

sebsmummy1 · 03/05/2014 09:36

Massive congratulations Tearex and Penguin. Made up for you girls Grin

I have nothing to report. I think the hormone is going down as I did my last cheap hpt last night and it looked lighter. My cm has also gone from creamy to brown tinged ewcm so my gut instinct is that my body has finally got the message that it's not pregnant. I have no idea if my period will come on time in 10 days or whether I'll get a bleed once my hormone drops enough.

Big hugs from Tranquility and all the other girls on here who's bodies are being fucking arseholes xxxx

Congratulations Tea, wonderful news! Wishing you all the best.

sebs really hope your body sorts itself out soon.

Welcome to all the newbies. Tranquility I think there is no 'normal' way to react after a mc, everyone's different. I didn't want to tell anyone about my mc at the beginning but have recently decided that I will if anyone asks in the future, so you might find that your feelings change over time. Take care of yourself and just do what's right for you now.

Nothing to report here. CD14 but thankfully still no signs of ov (which is what I thought). I finish the antibiotics tomorrow so we should be good to go again when I ov some time next week.

Off for a run now to get my body ready for that beach holiday that's coming up in four weeks! Smile

Tea - that's wonderful news Thanks

Littlelady33 · 03/05/2014 12:19

Great news tea!

Viperama · 03/05/2014 13:12

Tearex and Penguin so happy for you both. Here's to a happy health pregnancy ahead.

Sebs how are you doing today? Thinking of you and saying a little prayer x

LittleMissSunshine33 · 03/05/2014 13:20

Congrats Tearex! Thanks

I have my OH and SIL party tonight I'm 7DPO so do I drink or not??? I hate limbo land!

Littlelady33 · 03/05/2014 13:27

LittleMiss that's a damn good question. Tww and a bank holiday weekend do not a good combination make. Although I'm probably only approx 3dpo. Never too sure whether should drink or not really. Usually don't, sometimes have the odd one - not sure what others do?

sebsmummy1 · 03/05/2014 13:35

LittleMiss I think you can have a drink!! Lots of people don't know they are pregnant until they are 8 weeks or more and in that time they have got drunk multiple times and eaten everything they shouldn't and the baby is absolutely fine. So go, have a great time!!

Bless you Viper, I am ok xxxx

Littlelady33 · 03/05/2014 13:45

Sebs I'm sure that's right. I ate a pretty rare steak yesterday, thought about it for a moment then realised that it couldn't at this stage surely do any harm. Same I'm sure goes for a drink or two

Metalhead · 03/05/2014 15:49

I got really hammered two days before if to my BFP with DD as I thought my period had arrived (turned out to be implantation), and she's fine. Not that I'd recommend it, it didn't exactly help with my anxiety levels in early pregnancy! But yes, I do drink in moderation during at least the first half of the 2ww. A few drinks on one or two occasions isn't going to hurt, I'm sure.

Well I might have been a bit hasty when I said this morning there are no signs of ov yet. Suddenly I've got lots of slippery cm and a much darker opk. Would it be really bad of me to skip the last dose of antibiotics tomorrow do you think? They don't seem to be working anyway, and I really don't want to have to miss a month of ttc...

Metalhead · 03/05/2014 15:50

before I got my BFP (bloody auto correct!)

sebsmummy1 · 03/05/2014 16:10

Starting to wipe pink now so I think I'll be bleeding soon. No pain, maybe very very light cramping so hopefully after the bleed the hpts will be negative again and I can start getting my progesterone tested.

For some reason getting pregnant twice in four months has left me somewhat heartened. Even though I've lost both!

Littlelady33 · 03/05/2014 16:25

Sebs I'm glad to hear things are happening naturally although it's been such an awful few days for you and so incredibly confusing. You should feel heartened by that and there's still every chance the next one will be an uneventful pregnancy. Metal that's tricky with antibiotics as they do say that stopping early is a bad idea / was the advice on holding off on TTC pretty strong or more one of those things advised but could probably be overlooked...?

LittleMissSunshine33 · 03/05/2014 16:25

Thanks ladies I think I will have a few (especially as they are free!) but not go crazy and have planned to go to a wedding fair tomorrow and insensible not to have a hang over!

Send I'm glad to hear you are feeling more positive!!! Where do you think you are in your cycle now? Will you still go and see a specialist? Grin

LittleMissSunshine33 · 03/05/2014 16:36

*is sensible not insensible lol

LittleMissSunshine33 · 03/05/2014 16:36

And I meant sebs not send silly phone!!
