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?

Also that link and the link within it made me laugh. Love it.

Most I've laughed post mc :)

Treaclepie19 · 24/06/2014 23:00

Thanks oneday, it is awful. With regular dtd it actually improves but after having so much time not dtd with the mc and everything it's incredibly painful. Poor DH!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 24/06/2014 23:01

Yes thanks justonemore genuinely made me smile

Lou07708 · 24/06/2014 23:02

If this thread runs out how will we find the next one?
Cb ov sticks and cbfm are the same - they measure two hormones. The difference with monitor is it stores cycle history so you only test 10 x per month once you get going. You usually get 6 days high and 2 days peak.
Hello new people. Welcome to best forum in the world at the most saddest time of your life : ( sucks that we are here but we are all the same and help each other out xx

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 24/06/2014 23:03

I can imagine the mc has only exacerbated it treacle DH and I didn't dtd during my pregnancy so it's been a few months and I'm pretty nervous especially after having the ERPC. Not that I'll even be considering dtd for a while yet but the thought of it still makes me anxious Blush

Justonemoretime · 24/06/2014 23:13

Thank :) as long as someone starts the next one and posts the link before we get to 1000, we can carry on. Maybe do it when we get to 970 or something. X

Hi Sky, I'm so sorry you're here but you're very welcome.

I've got a JTFO - random person coming up to me (downfall of working at a local school) and telling me I really need to put all that terrible business behind me now... And the dickhead individual who decided to inform all the parents of the kids I teach why I was off by sending them a letter! Knobs!

Boozle80 · 24/06/2014 23:23

I'm not feeling very zen tonight I don't think! I need to go find a tree to hug or something - reckon its because I cleared the attic instead of picking up horse poo earlier!

Justonemoretime · 24/06/2014 23:33

Boozle, pm me, are you in hearts/bucks? Do you have Union support? That's appalling!

I'm up in sunny Yorkshire. Craziness! Xx

Marmaladecat1 · 25/06/2014 07:15

Even my dreams are horrid now- dreamt I was feeding my baby girl :(
(I don't have a baby girl!)

Marmaladecat1 · 25/06/2014 07:15

boozle that is shocking! You must complain

Monten · 25/06/2014 07:43

boozle that is indeed appalling!

Work can jog the fuck on. I know exactly what the teacher ladies were saying about September. However much I like my job (I do most of the time) the thought of a year off is most appealing. I keep planning projects thinking 'I'm not going to be here for that one' and then I bloody am.

marma I'm sorry you've had a bad dream. It really is horrible and can make you feel sad all day. With my first loss (termination for chromosomal abnormality) I had a dream where I had a little baby in a jar and I kept going up to people saying 'will you put this back inside me please, I really feel its much safer there'. Sad Telling or what!

just your blog is great.
Happy Wednesday everyone x

Monten · 25/06/2014 08:16

Just arrived at work, no one is in, went on Amazon and ordered CB ov sticks and two pregnancy tests. Dare I say it ladies, I feel..........excited?

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 25/06/2014 08:19

Morning everyone

hello sky so sorry youve had to join us x

I have a jtfo, all those people who keep telling me "at least it was early" it wasnt fucking early I was 15 weeks,id seen my baby, seen her heartbeat and will swear to the day I die that I felt her move despite people telling me it was too early so they can all fuck off.

I kept dreaming that I would lock myself out of the house and look through the window where my baby was sat in her car seat crying but I couldnt get to her, id wake up screaming. Thankfully the bad dreams seem to of stopped.

Marmaladecat1 · 25/06/2014 08:56

Hi sky!

Hurray join me with the wee sticks monten

Having a down day today :(

I'm sorry it's not just me with the horrid dreams.
I hope they stop soon.

Had sore boobs last couple of days, cm tells me I'm not ovulating and I doubt AF would make such an early appearance. Clearly my body is playing games! Argh!

Hope everyone's day improves.
I have a work meeting...on my day off!

Marmaladecat1 · 25/06/2014 08:57

smiling I'm sure I've felt movement at 15 weeks.

Lou07708 · 25/06/2014 09:06

Morning all, monten I felt a little excited to when I fired up the cbfm again. I am on cd 11, 2 bars and I swear I had ewcm last night! That said, post erpc and before AF came I had SO much ewcm that I thought I was ov but turns out not. The elusive ewcm though, here's hoping this time it's real!

Brummiegirl15 · 25/06/2014 09:24

Morning all
Loving everyone on pee sticks!!
I'm on cd8 and day 2 of my cb sticks. Still an empty circle. Pah
Glugging back the cough mixture and got my preseed and I'm ready!!!!!!!
Just need a smiley face....

Monten · 25/06/2014 09:32

Is that true Lou? This is probably definitely tmi but I have loads of CM suddenly! It thought it meant I was Ov-ing. Maybe not

Marmaladecat1 · 25/06/2014 09:35

Ah, cough syrup! I think I might need to get back on that wagon.

Lou07708 · 25/06/2014 09:45

monten this is tmi but it was everywhere!! It varied from real ewcm and warty but it was constant for 3 days and 2 days later AF came. It even woke me up and I thought I had an accident of the old lady variety!!! I google it obsessively obviously and found it's quite common. BUT, doesn't mean it isn't ov for you though : )
Before I went on the pill (was only on it for two years of my 30's) I used to get ewcm every month although had no idea what it meant. I just thought it was gross. Oh how wrong I was!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 25/06/2014 09:52

Very jealous of all you ladies actively ttc again. I've been so down that I need to remind myself how fun and exciting that time is and start looking forward to it again.

Stocked up on cheapie amazon gp tests that arrived this morning and did one. Still BFP. A MMC is so cruel, I almost feel sorry for my body, it's like it's being so stubborn and refusing to accept that it hasn't been pregnant for 5 weeks now.

What's all this about cough syrup and what's pre seed?!!
