Home on the amazing and determined TTC after mc-ers. We know all about the ups and downs, trails and tribulations,, how it feels to live in the cruel world of Facebook baby bombs. Solidarity, sisters!

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?

Hey all - waiting for colleague number 3 to drop the baby bomb tomorrow. And I watched location location location. Put. Those. Scan pictures away!!!!

Sorry boozle about AF - big hugs for next time.

Good luck daisy please keep s updated!

Welcome marmalade please don't be nervous. I had my mc 4 weeks ago and these ladies are just fantastic and have kept me sane and been incredibly comforting.

We all do daft things - we all need a fish slap every now and again - every single one of us- but no one judges and everyone just comforts.

We all range in ages, some already have dc's - some not quite yet - but we all bond and know how shit it feels.

Oh and we swear. A lot.

And sometimes a bit of ranty swearing helps :-)

But I had a week off too, I needed it, I still cry every now and again. I try and ignore all insensitive comments. "Oh at least you know you can get pregnant, it's not as though you waited months and months" oh so that makes it ok then?

Why don't you jog the fuck on. JTFO is my mantra and I'm sticking to it.

I've started using cb dual sticks hope

Hope they work!!!!

Please can we call the next thread the jog the fuck on thread??! Please!

We are at 700 messages so are going to need a new one soon.

WHAT is it with people saying 'at least you know you can get pregnant' ?? Even my own mum said it. Yes I know thank you, and I was indeed pregnant and now I'm not! I'd rather be one of those who just gets to stay pregnant thanks.

Who else can jog the fuck on?

Ocado for sending me baby moisturiser because I ordered pregnancy vitamins from them once
Most pregnant ladies, but not all
Dickhead GPs
Colleagues who drop baby bombs

Totally agree on the " at least you can get pg comment" - argh!!!!

Have not told my mum re bfp but have lined her up for a visit during week 8. That's when my mcs have been diagnosed so thought it best to get some backup lined up...

The 'at least you know you can get pregnant' line is a real shocker. I've had it in variations from friends, family... It's well meant of course but pretty absurd. I feel like saying - thanks but I was kind of looking to have a baby rather than test my fertility for fun. Gah.

To add to the JTFO list:

People who say 'you've got plenty of time, you're still young' or like brummie said 'well at least you know you can get pregnant'

My pregnancy apps that despite me deleting an dun subscribing from, still manage to send me a daily update of the new developments of my baby and which piece of fruit it's similar in size to

Oh and the "well it wasn't meant to be this time"

Thanks for that.

monten I agree, next thread might be "if you've got a baby bomb, unhelpful comments or anything else remotely insensitive then JTFO, keep moving, nothing to see here"

*and unsubscribing

oneday I have that same problem!!! I've deleted the app, unsubscribed, but STILL I get emails about pieces of fruit!!!!!!!

Brummie! The cb ov sticks with dual hormone indicator are good. I conceived within the first four months of using them. I had no clue what I was doing before that. Love seeing the solid smiley face :)

I got a empty circle this morning, first time using it. So at least I know it worked. Just got to get the solid smiley face too!!!

Make sure you use them every day now and pee first thing in the morning. they are expensive sticks! But worth it

Ive got to say those sticks are pretty accurate. They matched up well with my temp rise although I did have 9 flashing smileys the month I conceived before my solid smiley.

Trea the month I conceived I don't think the solid smiley even appeared I was well confused. I had 8 days flashing smiley.. Bit I conceived anyway so I'm not going to complain

I think I will complain, it was horrible enough without having to hear that!
I go from worrying I'll miscarry again or never getting pregnant again.

What's dual hormone? I think my PCOS screws up the bloody ovulation sticks. So probably a waste of time here. I think you can get Clearblue sticks on eBay for the monitor.
I did order a bumper 30 pack of Internet cheapie pg tests yesterday (I'm almost embarrassed to write that!) POAS addict here! But after last time I'll playing by the rules.

A friend of mine last week said she had a pregagncy scare recently but it would have been inconvenient if she got pregnant because of her pre booked holiday to Thailand!
She can JTFO!

Just been given the link to this thread as I posted about a missed miscarriage (12 week scan yesterday, no heartbeat). These comments have made me chuckle already - didn't think I'd be able to smile so soon.

Comforting to know there's lots of ladies out there who understand.

Xx

Welcome Sky, getting the bad news at your 12 WK scan is the worst. Hope we can help you get through it.

On the JTFO theme, you may enjoyjustonemoretimeagain.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/the-facebook-baby-bomb/ ;)

Hi sky - I said hello on your other thread. Am so sorry. It's such a shock getting bad news at the 12wk scan as just says.

Did you say your erpc was on Thursday?

It's shit, there is no two ways about it. But we have lots of graduates from this thread that prove better times can lay ahead.

P.s I'm sorry for typos everyone, I always type on my phone and it loves changing and adding words!

Oh Sky, I'm so sorry to hear your news. But you are in good company. Feel free to rant, rave, swear, ask questions or just read. Try to take some time to allow yourself to grieve.

I especially hate the "at least you can get pregnant line'..... now on mc 2 I throw back the .... 'just can't fucking keep them though'! Normally does the trick! I'm past caring how other people react to my mc. To be fair most people have been amazing.

Hi sky I'm so sorry you find yourself here. I joined in the last few days after a mmc and as someone set to me it's a club that no one wants to join but I can definitely vouch for the ladies on here being absolutely lovely!

The link is great btw!

Hi sky, so sorry to hear your news xxx

I really hate the "it wasn't meant to be" and the "you're still young". Seriously JTFO.
Managing to dtd even with the vaginismus. Wish that would JTFO but I've had it for about 6 years so guess im stuck with it. Gah.

Hi Sky so sorry to hear your sad news, and that you've found your way to us. Big hugs and hope you are being loved and looked after.

just fantastic blog - and so very true. I'd love to go Facebook cold turkey but I'm too addicted social media loser

treacle just googled as I wasn't sure what the condition was ... Poor you! But you're still managing to dtd regularly? Hats off to you!
