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 Justonemoretime you are nice. I've had cats all my life so hopefully I am immune.

The dreaded bad luck indeed. I said to DP the other day we should buy a lottery ticket as surely we're due some good luck!

The wine was bloody delicious

broodylicious Edwards is almost always girls too, my baby was a boy which I was told was very unusual.

Funny, because I always thought boys are more likely to inherit genetic conditions (or so I remember from GCSE biology class).

Do you ride? I used to be horse mad but haven't ridden in ages, I have a massive compulsion to start again (definitely to do with having been pregnant and now now - seize the day and all that).

I share your urge to get riding again monten. I had my own horse until I was six months pregnant with dd then I put him out on loan, with view to having him back in January this year. Unfortunately though, he died while he was with his loaner, total heartbreak as he was my first and a complete angel (he taught me so much and we competed in dressage until I was about five months pg). I have ridden twice since - once on a hack and then at a polo taster session that mil and fil got me for Christmas 2012 - but both times, I got in my car and blubbed like a baby!!

Just marking my spot glad to find the new thread. Mostly just lurking and catching with the news thrilled to see some bfps the last couple of weeks while I've been away in much sunnier climes - hope the luck rubs off on us all

I have no idea where that strange emoticon came from btw - thick fingers this morning clearly

You're welcome, Monten. Glad you enjoyed your wine.

If anyone else is interested in these conditions, here are some links. Its a wonder were here at all, it seems so many things can go wrong!

Turner syndrome

Edward syndrome

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine? Been for a 2km swim in the local outdoor pool this morning. Knackers now! Also, was greeted by dead bird in the hall on my return. Gotta love cats....

Still showing pregnant :/ it really is soul destroying isn't it? I'm putting all my energy into sorting the house today.

Hope all are ok xxx

Sorry to hear that, Treacle, its horrible while you're waiting for the tests to go 'normal' again. How long has it been, now? Maybe go back to your GP or EPU if its been more than 4 weeks? Are you still bleeding? It will sort itself out, I promise.

Treacle I'm the same, a nice pink line here too. :(

I'm kind of wishing I hadn't taken the gp's advice and dtd again this week. In a fortnight I'll be devastated to find out it isn't a 'new' BFP. :(

Hello.

I'm a complete newbie here, so please forgive any faux pas. Feeling very alone after a feint positive that's not getting any darker, now at 16 dpo. 2 ectopic c sections pregnancies and one tubal, and 4 early miscarriages under 7 weeks. Anyone similar... terrified that I've stuck my head above the parapet again.

Any encouragement happily welcomed.

Marking my place. Thanks for new thread.

Nothing to report here apart from DTD with DP nd trying to be relaxed. I am determined that I won't POAS until AF doesn't turn up. And we'll if it does then docs did advise to wait 1 cycle. Have no idea if I even ovulated this month.

Hang on in there ladies

Hello gang and welcome brief - it sounds like you've had a horrible time of it. I hope that your stay here is as brief as your name x
gingerbread, brummie and treacle - the waiting to start to ttc again goes on forever, doesn't it? I totally sympathise! I'm now on cycle 4 after a mmc and it feels like the whole of this year so far has been wasted on an unsuccessful pregnancy and a succession of annovulatory cycles. However I did have a normal(ish) cycle last month so onwards & upwards!
I'm currently basking in the sun with a very large glass of wine - one of the few upsides of not being pregnant!

brummie I've not long stopped bleeding but I've just done an ovulation test and it came back positive. Now I'm wondering whether to DTD tonight and tomorrow or to leave it like the docs advise. As we've not DTD since January, I know it's going to be quite tense. I've just posted a question on the conception board asking if anyone has had a successful pregnancy if they got upduffed before their first AF - let's hope we can both be proof that it does happen :)

Welcome to the club no one wants to join, Brief. It sounds like you've been through a terrible time. Have you had any testing done yet? You should be entitled by now. Ask your gp, and if they are difficult about it, find another one. Good luck and take care of yourself.

Thanks ladies, just it hasn't been long since I stopped bleeding. Cd 23 but only about a week since I stopped bleeding. Just thought I'd see if it was negative, they said by now it would be. Bleugh.

Mrsgingerbread, i know what you mean and I so hope you get your bfp. We still haven't dtd. I'm too nervous.
Just wondering when I will get af. I reckon end of june/start of July.

Treacle, hopefully you should get a negative 2 weeks after the bleeding (including all spotting) has stopped. That's always been my experience, anyway. Good luck. :)

Thank you :) I just checked, it's been almost two weeks.

How far gone were you treacle? From what I understand, the further gone you were, the longer it could take for your hormones to go back to normal and therefore get a bfp. Hang in there x

I was 8+3 but sac measured 6 weeks when I shouldve been 8. Pretty sure it was a blighted ovum.

Was it just the empty sac? Sorry if tmi.

Well I know its not Friday and I'm only 10dpo, but tested this morning and got a very faint line. I'm now totally in a spin and seem to be focusing on all the stuff that could go wrong. Haven't told DH yet as it seems like he can have another week of blissful ignorance before he has to start worrying about me.

Reading this back it sounds so wrong that I'm not on cloud 9 and running to tell DH, but I just keep re living that moment when they couldn't find the baby at the 12 week scan and then said that it had stopped growing at 8 weeks and there was no heartbeat. The idea of that happening again fills me with dread.

Totally understand g&t. I will be the same. We've all been in the wonderful, elated, blissful state of naivety then had our dreams shattered - some more than once - so I'm sure we will all be approaching our next BFPs with far more caution. Congratulations though hun!!

I am loving all these BFPs. Gives me hope

Congratulations xxxxxx

GandT, congratulations! I know its scary, maybe you can get an early scan at 9 weeks? Best of luck with it, and fx it will be boring and uneventful. X

There was a yolk sac but they struggled to see, they always seem to find it hard to see on my ultrasounds (with anything I mean).

Congrats GandT :)
