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?

That's not irrational blank.
Sending hugs.

I am useless again today. Keep thinking I would've been 12 weeks tomorrow.
Just realised I only actually knew I was pregnant for a month. I got my bfp on the 17th April and started bleeding on the 17th May. Don't know why I work these things out. Just gives me more to think about.

The head at school is giving me an extra half day to do work. Got to say she has been brilliant apart from the fact she's observing me on monday

Bleugh.

Bosses are great like that - mine told me she wanted me to focus solely on teaching and to put all my leadership and extra responsibilities to one side until September. It was quickly followed up with but we need all the reports and assessments in for Friday and can you do a presentation for the governors in a couple of weeks... Hmmm. I feel your pain!

On the upside I got a solid smiley today so I'm not completely broken! Whoop whoop! First one in three months :).

I'm glad you're as ok as you can be Montan - I was thinking of you

Brummiegirl - I hate Facebook and all the smug pregnant people on it at the moment. They seem to be everywhere! Keep signing off but the addiction is too great! Plus four people have exactly the same due date as I was meant to have. I am perfecting the big smile and that's wonderful news comment. Then I feel bad for sending them general disgruntled vibes internally! Ho hum!

Hey Treacle, it's hard at this 12 week stage (I would have been 13 weeks) as people start to announce and it make us think of what we are missing out on.

That's great that your head is being so supportive. I didn't tell my head as he's one of these people that was born without any emotion.
Hope you're ok

Hi all, just popping in to say hello. Got back from a lovely week of beach and sun on Saturday and am very much enjoying this summery weather!

Got my +opk on Sunday, dtd that night and last night and will have another go later. Feeling quite chilled about it all at the moment, though no doubt this won't last long...

Sounds the same as me boozle.

Thank you, i just wish my body was back to normal now so I could try again. Its only 2 weeks since I stopped bleeding but it's 4 weeks since I was pregnant :(

I really need to get a grip. I have to say, I'm loving all these storms lately :) is that odd? Haha.

sebsmummy thanks my agnus castus arrived today hoping its a natural alternative to the pregnacare and vitamin supps that messed AF for so long lol ive used every app on appstore and they all say something different for me just going to use monitor and take the agnus castus and see what happens

Hello everyone, I was on this thread for about a year until March, when we finally got our BFP. I just wanted to report back to those who remember me - we had our 12 week scan yesterday, and all is well . And for those who I haven't met, I'm so so sorry you're here. I had an ectopic, and being further along now makes me even more aware of just how heartbreaking it must be to have to join this thread.

It's been a veeery long 11 weeks (am 13 weeks today), but I'm promising myself I will start to enjoy this now. We wanted it for so long, and I've just been afraid the whole of the first trimester.

Also - I have about 8,000 IC OPKs and HPTs, as well as a clear blue digi monitor (not the big jazzy one, the little one you push the sticks into) and 4 or 5 tubes of Conceive Plus. Some of them were passed on to me by a kind lady from here, and I got my BFP within 2 months so maybe they're lucky? Anyway, PM me if you'd like me to send them your way.

Best of luck everyone, I so hope you get your sticky BFPs very very soon.

Fantastic news Seasides! I hope you can start to relax a bit now and wish you a happy &healthy rest of your pregnancy.

I've learnt why you should never POAS when it's not a Friday (last Fri was the end of my 2ww but didn't have time to buy or pee on stick till today).

So I bought 2 tests today, rushed back up hill in the heat to home, sat on loo &...no wee. Drank a big glass of water, waited, waited, went back to the loo & this time only a tiny trickle of wee.

It must be due to the hot weather, my bladder must be completely empty! Really annoyed at wasting 2 tests on such a non-event...

Seasides - what wonderful news! So pleased for you and it cheers me up too. I hope all of us will be posting similar messages soon. Wishing you a boring remaining 6 months.

Lovely news Seasides, I'm so pleased for you! x

Great news seasides!

Great to see you back seasides and what great news!! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy! Hugs!

Great news, Seasides! Hope you can relax and enjoy it now. X

Great news Seasides! I miss the old gang ( think I'm officially the longest standing member on this thread - April 2013 - any advances girls?)!

If you haven't passed the sticks and lube on yet, I'd defo be interested, just can't work out how to PM you on my phone... Grrrrr

Sal - I am not far behind at June 2013. This weekend I "celebrate" anniversary of my first miscarriage.

seasides that's wonderful news! Great to hear from a graduate

Lovely news seasides :)

Feeling low today. I would've been 12 weeks today.

With you there Sal... Been on then off again too many times since I joined this bus in October.

Congratulations seasides

treacle sending you a big hug x

I cried in a card shop yesterday because they had a card saying "happy fathers day love the bump"

we chose to name the baby we lost because I was convinced it was a girl, we chose Charlotte and planted a rose as a kind of memorial. Yesterday she bloomed and we have a beautiful yellow rose, looking at it is the first time dp has cried. I found him sat in the garden at 1am, he admitted he had been so busy looking after me he had tried not to think about how losing her had affected him now I feel bad for not supporting him as much as I should have done.

I don't know where the time goes. Its a year tomorrow since my third mmc was discovered at a routine scan at 13 weeks. At which point I threw the leftlet back in their faces as demanded to have my erpc at UCL under ultrasound guidance rather than High Wycombe by a junior doctor with a spoon. I got my way; 'You wouldn't like me when I'm angry' is a phrase that springs to mind... I found mn shortly afterwards on the support after recurrent mc thread, and you lovely ladies at Christmas. I have learned so much (thank you for your support) and, I hope been able to help others find their way through the mine field. I remember when I just went along with the NHS party line, before my 'education'. May we all have our happy endings soon. :)

Hugs just x

smiling I am crying reading your post. I think we think men move on quickly but in fact, your husband nailed it - they want to look after us and appear the strong ones, when really they are just as heartbroken as us. I hurt my dh the other day by saying he'd moved on the moment after it happened but I couldn't yet - he was quite upset by my comment, I was so sorry.
