TTC after MC. The ups, the downs, the never ending Toad in the Hole and the relentless onslaught from the Facebook faceslaps!

[Sal1977]

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?

What's SPD? Xx

My super symptom with my dd was I had the worst unjustified hangover one morning...

treacle I think ups and downs are to be expected and in my boob that was a really tough night. Be kind to yourself

Book, book! Not boob!!

I had it with my first boozle something to do muscles overly relaxing. I have permanent pelvic damage now but never flares up unless I'm pregnant really. But it didn't with my miscarriage. Probably just slept funny :(

Interesting symptom re hangover.
Getting imsomnia as well...had that last time

All for pregnant coloured wee!

info on spd

This is rather exciting symptom spotting! When can you POAS? And what colour is your wee? If it's purple then evolution has listened!

Says it happens earlier with your second/third...

Here's to selective conception evolution-happy weekend all

Well that's this cycle fucked. Normally get my opk peak cd13, today my CBFM helpfully takes me from low to peak on cd10. Brilliant!!

We were going to BD last night but Big Brother and Steven and Kims sad little sex display made me feel sick so my sex drive left the building. We have had sex this morning and will again this evening but I am not in the least convinced to monitor is right. Why am I suddenly ovulating so early? Why did I get no EWCM, only creamy watery stuff?

I'm going to buy some opk sticks from Superdrug and keep testing I think as this is just weird.

Thanks marmalade, it was tough :(

Loving the pregnant wee haha.

sebs, I ovulated earlier too. Stupid cycles!!!

I'm feeling a bit all over the place at the moment. Not really enjoying my job and considering applying for another but don't want to apply and then be pregnant by the time I start. (It would be December start and I don't intend to go back after maternity).
Think I'm going to stay where I am. Each month that goes by though is a step closer to a summer due date. I was so excited with my pregnancy because I was due december I was planning on leaving after october half term.
Now I have to make all these decisions and wouldn't be due until May at the earliest.

I don't really know why I'm posting. You poor people having to listen to me moan all the time :p

On a happy note, it's Saturday and I got some sleep without period pain :)

I have the same issue Treacle. Although I reckon any school I go to under Gove is going to be pretty shitty! Moan away! I certainly do, it's so the rest of the world still think we're normal, rational human beings!

You ladies are funny! :)
Sorry to hear some of you are struggling, hope you're bodies start to behave and good things start happening.
A word on changing jobs; I was properly caught out last pg because I was appointed in April for a September start and, because we're all academies round here, I lost all entitlement to mat pay. If the pregnancy had progressed it would have cost me about £8000 in lost mat benefits. It was obviously more important that baby was ok, but it was a very stressful time. I felt like I'd been flug back into the 1950s. I know money isn't everything, but its worth thinking about, especially since, in teaching, you're employed months before you start work.

Thanks ladies.

Yeah just that's what im thinking. I'll just stay put. At least it's nearly the summer holiday.

I am going to spend the day in the garden. Trying to make it as pretty as possible :)

I am too scared to see another bfn I didn't get a faint line yesterday boozle I'm due tomorrow according to calculations on my app. My last 2 cycles have been the same day. So could will test tomorrow. Had weird cm last few days which means (according to google) I'm pg, I'm not pregnant or I OV. More waiting- my favourite!

Weird the cbfm is giving you peaks when not expected. I haven't used one so can't help sadly :(

Right I'm off to a picnic surrounded by pg people and the weather won't make it's bloody mind up!

Fertile Wednesdays and weekly AF sounds like a great plan to me! And defo the pee colour change. Can you imagine the hassle it would remove? Oh ladies, we can dream....!

Good luck for today marm and so sorry to hear you have an episode of SPD. I had that with dd and it was agony - turning over in bed and going up stairs was excruciating

treacle, you do not ever need to apologise or feel bad for moaning! We are all here for you, through the good, bad and ugly! Xxx

Well, I'm totally confuzzled. I'm 8dpo and I feel sick. Proper sick. After my definite but pale line on the ov stick yday, I did another this morning. I got another pale but definite line. Fuck. What should I do?!?! Arrrrgh I hate reading when people poas too early but right now, I just want to go to boots and buy a pg test!!!!

Yup, I think I'll stay put too - the devil you know and all that. It just seems shit sorting stuff out for next September when I was only meant to be there for two weeks! I'm also debating going full time as opposed to training in philosophy for children but then I think I'm just umming and arring because I've got nothing better to do ATM!

It does sound positive Marmalade try again on Monday maybe? Mondays a long time away though!

I'm terrible at waiting to POAS I do them the day after I ov! I've now got a CBfM which does pregnancy tests too and only let's you do it from 12 dpo so that's keeping me strong at the mo!

I think right now boozle, I'd be peeing for your monitor every hour lol! Haha! Funny how it becomes totally consuming so quickly. Only dtd once this month but it was around the time I was oving so if I am pg, it'll be so flippin lucky. God I'm so neurotic!

Any chance you are further than 8dpo broody? Not sure if you would get positive ov stick because of pg that early so maybe you are further dpo than you thought or WTF cycle means you are oving now. Not much help I'm afraid...!

There are so many teachers on conception boards! I work in education but not a teacher. Academic year planning can make things harder.

Do you think there's a causal link? :/

I blame Gove!

Boozle, and all other teachers, enjoy

That's awesome! I will keep that up in my next staff meeting! Xx
