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?

I'm so sorryboozle 
smiling no word of advice, just hugs from me. I know exactly how you feel. Ypu just want to scream don't you? When did you last Dtd? Those little dudes last ages so you may be fine. The month I thought we hadn't Dtd at the right time was the month I got pregnant so you never know x
One of my NCT group announced her pregnancy to us via email last night 
cue moody broody! She had a molar pregnancy before she had her lb so she knows heartache and of course I don't begrudge her at all. Just made me think that our baby should be four months old when she has hers.
Anyway, it is July. New month, new hope. This is our month. Let's do this girls!!!!!
Morning all
Oneday - how are you feeling today? Please take more time if you need it - a week is nothing! Any reason as gp would sign you off for longer. Your feelings chimed with me though - i could cope after my mcs so long as I didn't have any pressure put on me. Any pressure and I just disintegrated.
Zebra - wow, fx for you.
Belt - when I was first one these boards it was called the wtf cycle, with good reason I think
Boozle - I am Stunned, that is awful! How can people even think of asking you to do that! Sadly it seems that some people, even those who are supposedly close to us, and should know better DONT FUCKING GET IT
Smiling you sound fab with your charges and so sorry you're having those frustrations, it's all consuming isn't it?
Thank you for the scan good wishes. Convinced there's nothing there and am a complete fraud. Although an emotional wreck - I teared up yesterday when I realised Mark Cavendish was going to have to cycle over the Buttertubs Pass (cycling fan but even so 
)
But I totally agree with whoever was talking about the power of these boards - i am currently tucked up in the spare bed of a lass who I met on the same group over 3 years ago. She's been through hell herself but now has 2 little ones and is coming with me for hand holding today. The flip side of all the sadness is that I've made some really great friends.
Morning ladies,
Boozle I'm so shocked at your friends complete lack of empathy although not entirely surprised. People who haven't been through it just don't get it. They'll try the right words but it just doesn't click. Because outwardly you look fine they forget that inside you desperately trying to keep afloat. I'd have a word with her though if I were you.
Oneday - in a week post erpc tomorrow and have already poas! Stupid I know. I just want my hcg back to zero so I can TTC again. I'm paranoid I might potentially miss the egg this cycle. When in reality I know it's very likely I won't even ovulate! Take as long as you need off, do what feels right for you. I personally have to be busy, so I was back at work the day after!! Yes I'm mad! But I felt fine and if I is sat at home id have been a crying mess.
Downside is that in my job I do pregnancy massage. Hadn't thought to ask bosses not to book any in (don't want all the staff knowing), and had a client yesterday who was very heavily pregnant with twins!! Made me sad but I had to keep telling mysel 'I don't know her story'. It kind of helps.
Hope July brings more BFPs, normal cycles and settling hormones. Big hugs ladies, you're all amazing and strong.
Hi all,
I just had a good read through your thread and would like to perch here for a while. Another thread I never thought I'd be on - first, it was the Antenatal group thread (unexpected pregnancy), then it was the Miscarriage boards (MMC around 5 weeks, confirmed around 8 weeks), now it's the TTC boards (opted for natural management, bleeding finally stopped after 6 weeks). But the more I read on MN, the less alone I feel.
We haven't actually decided to TTC, given that it was accidental and not in the plan, but now I've been through this, of course I really want it, I want to be a mum. OH isn't against it, but would rather wait, however he also isn't too bothered about contraception, which puts me in a weird position...
I look forward to getting to know you all
Welcome rainbow (love the name). Sorry for your loss. You're welcome to hang out here, this bunch of ladies have helped me no end - laughs and love despite our heartaches over losing our littlies x
Hi rainbow sorry youve had to join us but this is a great thread full of lovely brave ladies.
Good luck today daisy
I have no idea what I was dreaming about last night but woke up convinced im pregnant of course its way to early to tell so its purely my subconscious playing tricks but its left me feeling really positive.
I hate how much my emotions change on a daily basis, ive always been a fairly laid back person but now I never know how im going to feel when I wake up in the morning, im either sad or happy theres no inbetween at the moment. And I go from feeling happy to crying within seconds.
I was thinking about the comments people make, you know the "it gets easier" or "give it time" type comments. I can't see it ever getting easier I just think im learning to hide it better and each day its easier to hide the pain but the pain isnt any less.
