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 Ladies, I got one just like that yesterday. Looks like we're all in for an action packed night
.. ;)

Hmmm, I think for me that would still be -ive sebs, I usually get a +ive where the whole line is much darker than the control. Close though.

Mine don't get much darker than that, and I know I do ov due to scans and biopsy tests. This science isn't exactly an exact science... :o)

This is my +opk for anyone who's interested (first time uploading a pic so hope it works!)

I tried those opk's but really struggled to use them for some reason so am currently bankrupting myself with the ones that show smiley faces, sorry I can't be more help! Xx

Thanks ladies that's reassuring so expect it was yesterday or today and have been doing my all to lure OH away from football accordingly! Hopefully we all pass through our most fertile days before the next England game.

Sebs I'm not sure but think the line might still need to be slightly darker? Although they do as far as I know get gradually darker so this might mean the start of the surge?

That's an excellent peak stick Metal!! I have a feeling that this might be a peak for me as (maybe due to my age?) I've never had an LH line that's really dark.

Sebs sounds like it might be then and although the sticks are helpful I think we should all rely on our bodies too - if you think your going to ov then that's probably right

Thanks *sebs! Shame for me that the strength of lines has no bearing whatsoever on the subsequent outcome...

Metal you're not out this month though are you?

No, just feeling a bit despondent today. Just ignore me! Poured myself a nice glass of wine this evening in a bid to invoke Sod's Law...

Well you had a lovely strong ovulation so I think you stand a bloody good chance!! Don't be despondent.

Ok, now I need slapping with a wet kipper! Why am I looking up prices of reassurance scans when I'm not even chuffing pregnant?!

You can borrow the wet kipper I've just slapped myself with. Looking at baby names. FFS.

Don't give up Metal and enjoy the wine. So there's a few of us pretty much entering the 2ww just now?

metal, enjoy your wine... I am!
I'm on cd5 today or 6. Waiting for ovulation...

Hi ladies,

I'm new here. I was 15+2 and at my scan, was told the baby had a neural tube defect. I passed the baby 5 weeks ago and had an erpc. I had my first AF on Saturday which was mega heavy and has since disappeared.
Me and the hub are ttc from this month. We used CBFM last time around and doing so again - although not sure how accurate it will be post mmc.
Every single reply on his thread rings familiar to me. I am 100% consumed with ttc thoughts. One bit of advice to help pass the days to ovulation and then pass the days of tww?

Oh Lou I am so sorry I find passing the days to ov ok as we are being proactive (shagging) and I use the CBFM too so I am analysing that and POAS. It's the 2ww that is just 10 days of bring a twitchy nutcase and overthinking every symptom and nonsymptom!!!!

You are certainly in very good company here.

Well seems as though I did get a peak last night as my CBFM gave me the eggy this morning. So my cycle has gone straight back to normal and we will DTD tonight too and I guess cross our fingers.

Boozle and brummie I have also looked at scans and names since both miscarriages! Not only that but every time I have gotten AF since I work out when my due date will be if I DO get pregnant that month. It's horrible. I know I shouldn't do it but I should have a really big bump now you know? I should be allowed to do these things, and would have had everything gone to plan.

Ladies, I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I wanted to say the forward planning for yet to be concieved baby, is all normal in my world too!?! I work out due date, then when I'll be 8 weeks to book private reassurance scan, see how far i'll be for Xmas, Birthday etc. then I start looking at pregnancy posts and baby names

While I'm posting I'll ask for your pearls of wisdom.............I'm still waiting for AF to return following my MMC, and I was fulling intending to wait, however have since dtd, and then I think I ovulated soon after, not doing opk, but had ewcm and normal ov signs? So do I run the risk of heading for another MC if it's too soon? And also is thirst a pregnacy symptom (becuase of course I'm a dfinately pregnant and now looking for signs)?! Thanks

Moffit I don't think there is any evidence that falling pregnant straight after mc makes the pregnancy more likely to fail. In actual fact I remember reading an article by the lady who married Caron Keating's widower, I think her first babe was Sally. Anyhow she fell pregnant soon after her miscarriages and they said she had killer NK cells (hence the miscarriages) and getting pregnant soon after actually helped as her immune system didn't get a chance to attack the foetus and the pregnancies went to term.

So it could even be said to be a good thing. Don't worry! Good luck also lol as I know you haven't tested yet.

Thought if stick a photo of the CBFM stick incase it helps anyone.

Morning ladies, hope you're all doing ok. Sorry if there's any newbies that have arrived in the last few days. This is a shit club to be part of but a lovely, supportive club too. These ladies are awesome.

Been keeping a low profile for a few days, went away over the weekend which definitely helped take my mind off things.
Feel really guilty that as yet I'm not as upset this time round. Last time I was a cry, wailing mess. This time I've been much more pragmatic.

I've got my 3rd scan today... stupid consultant wouldn't agree to the erpc without another scan. I know I should have been coming up 10 weeks this week, so they should have seen something. Then another week wait for the erpc, it was originally booked for my birthday but I changed the date.

Just want to get back to ttc.

Morning all. Welcome Lou and so sorry for your loss. I'm afraid I haven't found any effective ways to make the 2ww go quicker - if anyone has, I'd love to know too!!

Moffit I think I saw a study that said if you get pregnant within 6 months of cm you're slightly more likely to carry that one to term, so I wouldn't worry about potentially falling again too soon.

Good luck with your scan today English, I hope the waiting is over for you soon and you can start to move forward.

I'm feeling quite teary this morning. DD is 4 today, and she just looked so grown up opening her presents. It's not that I miss the baby stage and don't want her to grow up (I actually hated the first year), but it just reminded me that we're coming up to a year ttc #2 now with nothing to show for it...

I so do all the things mentioned, look at baby names, work out due date and symptom spot.

Im struggling to come to terms with af, im almost finished but it devestated me and ive cried since starting on sunday I just want to be pregnant again!

im currently in a hotel room waiting with dp who is due in court today with his ex to fight for shared residency of my dsc. She insisted if he wants to see them he would need court papers so weve spent a small fortune fighting her.

im swinging wildly between wanting to hit her for not actually caring about the children and using them as a weapon to get her own way and wanting to cry my eyes out because its so unfair that people like her have children and I dont. Im not sure im going to be much help to dp although im trying desperately to be positive and cheerful.
