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?

Thanks metal, I'm trying not to think about it too much. It's very early days and we all know how things can end. One day at a time.

silverine · 10/05/2014 15:50

Tentative congrats again English and sorry for those AF got.

I'm CD6 now so not DTD yet, but I had some weird temp readings today. So far I'd been .6 .4 .4 .4 .4, which is very good (teh acupuncture has done the trick to bring them down compared to last month). Normally I get the ov dip of .2 on CD13 (before spiking), so we start DTD from around CD10-11. But this morning when I first woke up I got .1, couldn't believe it and tried again and it was .2 Hmm... Anyway, got up, went wee and went back to bed. When i finally woke up (around 11am!! Shock) it was .6. So what do I record? I don't suppose it's early ov..? Confused

Morning everyone!
english how exciting! Crossing all my fingers and toes for you. Have you Poas again today?

Well I got a lovely positive on my opk yesterday so am going to try and seduce hubby into a bonus tith tonight! Probably before match of the day comes on or it will be a lost cause!

silverine · 11/05/2014 10:24

Haha! Good luck with that gail! My DH has gone up to Liverpool to watch the game, not coming back till tomorrow, so would have no chance if it was ov time.
Thank goodness the season finishes, even more so as he decided that not shaving brings them luck, so has grown a long beird now... Smile

EnglishGirlAbroad · 11/05/2014 10:36

Haven't poas again yet Gail. Feel very much like af is going to arrive...So trying not to get my hopes up further. Wish I hadn't poas yesterday to be honest. I feel like i've built myself up for a fall.

My dh had also grown a mahoosive beard but thankfully shaved it off a couple of weeks ago because so many men here in Amsterdam have them. Look sooo much better without.

officelady · 11/05/2014 12:24

I am married to a bloke with a beard too - they are very on trend right now! My dh's beard suits him as long as he keeps it nicely trimmed, he once grew it really long and it looked awful! I'm sure he appreciated me telling him so Wink
I am just going to whisper this very quietly so I don't scare it off ... got a very clear positive OPK yesterday, morning & afternoon. First sign of ovulation since last December so naturally I gave dh the glad eye & got some tith last night. Will give it a couple more goes over the next few days too. Then I guess I'm in the 2ww - yikes!

GailLondon · 11/05/2014 13:18

Oh good news office! You must have been so excited to see those opk lines appearing.

silverine · 11/05/2014 14:12

That's exactly the problem office. He's been growing it since January so is around 3 inches long ! I like a cm or so stubble on him but that's just ridiculous.
Well done on the ov office!! Wink

EnglishGirlAbroad · 11/05/2014 14:36

My DH looked like a white Bin Laden! Not good! Lol!
Yay for the positive OPK Office!

Ellisisland · 11/05/2014 15:42

English - ??

I'm still in the 2ww and am obviously waiting patiently

Ellisisland · 11/05/2014 15:46

That was supposed to be a laughing smiley not sure what happened there!

LittleMissSunshine33 · 11/05/2014 19:58

Hi ladies my OH grow a beard and mustache for Movember but it itched me so was glad when he got rid of it!

TMI Alert! My AF seems to be bright red at times which is unusual for me only happened during MC...Any one else had this since? Should I be worried? Blush

bythesea82 · 11/05/2014 23:24

I also have a bearded husband, if he shaves he looks about 12 so I put up with the itching Wink

sunshine I guess everyone is different, I have always had quite heavy periods and normally have a day where it's really bright red fresh blood then goes darker again, dr never seemed to think it was unusual of heavy enough to worry about.....

Justonemoretime · 11/05/2014 23:25

My husband also has a beard... #correlation Shock

My dh sports a tash that makes him a "face" in town! I love it!

Littlelady33 · 12/05/2014 06:54

Mine has also gone from stubbly to full on beard the past few months. I like it - it's kind of softer! Am symptom spotting like mad despite telling myself it just wouldn't happen again so quickly. May have to poas on Friday after all just to call myself down.

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 07:42

So I braved a digi this morning... Ic was still very light.. But if I only implanted at 12dpo when my temp dipped I suppose that's why.
Scared stiff now. Not going to pee on any more stick and will try to just roll with it.

English that's fabulous! xx

Littlelady33 · 12/05/2014 09:52

Wonderful news English!

Ellisisland · 12/05/2014 09:54

That's great news English!

bythesea82 · 12/05/2014 09:58

Congrats, nice to have good news on a Monday morning Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 12/05/2014 10:18

Thank you ladies, I'm petrified now! Spent so long trying to get to this point, now it's terrifying!

Littlelady33 · 12/05/2014 10:36

English that's natural I'm sure. I'm holding out on testing as much because I'm scared of a positive as a negative. An mc takes the innocence out of pregnancy and it's such a shame. But there's no reason to think that you will have anything other than an uneventful 8 months now!

Tranquilitybaby · 12/05/2014 13:23

Congrats English x

officelady · 12/05/2014 13:26

Massive congrats English!!! Fingers crossed for a dull and uneventful nine months Grin
