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?

Hello all, well it looks like I'll be back on this thread. At 6+5 yesterday I had a massive bleed, painful too. It sort of stopped overnight and just the occasional spot today. Saw my gp this morning who tried to get me an early scan but the local hospitals are busy so I'm going private this afternoon to see what's what, but in my heart of hearts I already know. So it'll be two mc's in two months for me. I'm so bloody angry I could scream. Sorry for self indulgent wail but I just can't do it in rl. Angry Sad

tannyLoo · 02/06/2014 13:13

Oh cake you must be worried sick. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you this afternoon. Have a good scream on here if you have to, and irl too if possible. Sending a big sqeeze...

Treaclepie19 · 02/06/2014 13:17

Oh cake, big hugs. I hope your scan goes well and surprises you. Feel free to wail on here!!!

bythesea82 · 02/06/2014 13:20

Cake. . Scream and rant away. I/ we'll listen. x

Work today. Sucked. Mostly for reasons of work. But my tolerance for the stress and politics is less than zero.
I am sure they were delighted by my miserable face being back Confused .
Also I need glasses. Another reminder I am falling apart with age. Joy.

There might be a bloody big cake in my evening.

GandTnow · 02/06/2014 15:45

Welcome newbies, so sorry for your losses.

Cake I'm so sorry tosee you on here (i've seen you on several threads over the last few months.) Lots of hand holding and I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Treaclepie19 · 02/06/2014 15:54

sighing, well done for getting through the day!
Don't worry whether you were tolerant or not.

Eat that cake :)

Treaclepie19 · 02/06/2014 15:54

I hope you're ok cake, when's your appointment?

Brummiegirl15 · 02/06/2014 18:15

Oh Cake I'm so sorry. I really am, that is doubly shitty xx

DP and I have started DTD again and I admit I do think "fuck what if I'm setting myself up for 2 mc's in 2 months" but just telling myself what will be will be.

Have no idea if I will ovulate this month - but got EWCM so who knows. Not doing OPK as no point so soon after mc.

Good luck back at work tomorrow treacle - today was my first full day back and whilst I'm drained and tired I'm doing ok. But I'm only in 3 days ths week so maybe that is helping.

Keep strong xxx

Treaclepie19 · 02/06/2014 18:56

Thanks brummie. Glad your day was ok :)

I have a 4 day week so hopefully won't be too bad.

We're not trying this month but I'm temping to note if/when I ovulate again.

Tranquilitybaby · 02/06/2014 19:20

Thinking of you Cake, how did it go?

Carly6971 · 02/06/2014 19:25

Oh cake no :,( so sorry your going through this again. Hoping and praying you got good news this afternoon x

Cakebaker35 · 02/06/2014 19:36

Thank you all ladies for your kind words and I'm pleased to say I can lighten the mood a little for once! So had a scan, fully expecting the worst and feeling full of rage at the world, only to see a little bean and hear a heart beat!! Cannot believe it, I bled so much I would never have thought it possible to still be pregnant. It turns out the placenta may have bumped into something on the wall of my uterus which ruptured a blood vessel there, hence the massive bleed. There is evidence of the remains of a clot which I will most likely pass at some point unless it gets absorbed. The lady at the clinic said this one is a fighter to survive a bleed like that. I really really hope she's right. We are not out of the woods yet and I'm going back in a little over 2 weeks to see what's what. But today I am pregnant. Flippin eck! I will stay lurking this thread as you've all been so supportive and I want to see your bfps come rolling in xxx

Brummiegirl15 · 02/06/2014 19:41

Oh my god cake that is amazing!!!!! This one is a little fighter. Keeping everything crossed for you. It has given me hope that it can be done.

I really hope everything goes ok, defo keep us all posted

Treaclepie19 · 02/06/2014 19:41

cake that is brilliant news!!! :)
I am so pleased for you xxx

LittleMissSunshine33 · 02/06/2014 19:41

Oh no cake!! (((Virtual hug))) I'm so sorry I hope you are having lots of rest and time with OH x

blankfornames · 02/06/2014 19:45

Aw cake, that is such wonderful news! Well done you on going for a scan! Must be such a relief! Sit back, relax and enjoy your evening after such a horrible scare x

Moffit · 02/06/2014 19:56

Congratulations cake so pleased you were able to get a scan and managed to see a little heartbeat!! I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

Tranquilitybaby · 02/06/2014 20:05

Ah that's brilliant news cake we need more good news stories like yours! Xx

Sighing · 02/06/2014 20:10

Oh god! Cake that is quite the ray of hope. X
Brummie I am so glad work went well for you and you're tentatively picking up with DTD

. I will admit to crying during DtD which has terrified DH. It has been so loaded emotiinally. But that feeling has left me.

Fortunately I can report my DH thinks the glasses are sexy.
And this cake is good.
Wine here's to all the good things in today.

broodylicious · 02/06/2014 20:42

blank that's so sad that you mc on holiday. Was it abroad? You poor thing. I know what you mean about relatives being pregnant and struggling with it - DH's brother and SIL announced their pregnancy the day before our dd's 2nd birthday and two weeks after our mc. Her edd is the week after ours would have been and I reckon because it'll be her second, there's a reasonable chance of an early appearance - it will totally kill me if my niece/nephew is born when my baby should've been Sad

cake thrilled that you saw a heartbeat. I saw your first post and my eyes stung for you... But then so pleased that all is well.

blankfornames · 02/06/2014 21:14

Thanks broody. Yep, I was in Thailand. Thankfully the hospital that we went to was amazing and once the mc was confirmed the following day, I had an erpc right away. Not sure it would have happened that quickly here. That's really tough about your SIL. As if it's not hard enough. I think our due dates will loom largely in our minds until we have another due date. Fx that it's not too long away!

tannyLoo · 02/06/2014 21:14

Phew Cake. So relieved. x

broodylicious · 02/06/2014 21:47

Oh no! Thailand is such an amazing place too, heartbreaking for it to happen in one of the most beautiful places in the world. But such a long way from home Hmm did it delay your return? Can imagine the care over there would've been great though, they're so kind and caring.

You're right, I need a bfp before what would've been my edd and sil's. I don't want to have any feelings of negativity towards my niece or nephew but fear if I'm not upduffed, I won't be able to control it.

We haven't started ttc again just yet because of the 12 weeks of bleeding I had following my mc (only stopped two weeks ago after an emergency procedure at the hospital) but once my first proper AF comes and goes, I'm on it!! Wink Will be moving house in July so would be ace to get into our new place and fall preggers soon after!!
