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?

boozle peeeeeeee!!!!

monten, is it you who is a nanny? There's a programme on itv at 9pm called Britains Poshest Nannies. I'm recording it as I don't think dh will want to watch it.

Monten · 17/07/2014 21:00

No it's smiling who's a nanny I think? I'll be watching it tho - DP is playing football and it's just the sort of viewing that is in order.

I have everything crossed for you smiling! I hope you get some sleep!

Pee boozle!

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 17/07/2014 21:05

Peeeeee boozle and you will either get lovely news in time for the holidays or you can join the crazy squinting club!!

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 21:19

What do quite horrible period type cramps mean? AF isn't due until Monday at the earliest, unless I'm on a super short cycle, like 21 days short? I don't know!!!

sebsmummy1 · 17/07/2014 21:21

Loving all these BFP girls GrinGrin

Daisybell1 · 17/07/2014 21:23

Boozle I had horrible cramps this time, proper constant AF type but a week before it was due. Just saying....

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 21:27

I feel like I daren't actually hope!

sebsmummy1 · 17/07/2014 21:40

Well a line on a FRER is a line, they don't give evaps!!

broodylicious · 17/07/2014 21:44

boozle get peeing girl!

Had one big glass of wine and feel trashed. Oops!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 17/07/2014 21:51

Wow!! Haven't been on in a day or two and see a load of potential bfps pop up!! FX for you all!!!

Can't believe your stupidly insensitive 'friend' Smiling, you don't need people like that around you!
And taht reflexologist Sebs, fricking hell!!Shock

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 17/07/2014 21:58

Is that true sebs? I've convinced myself that mine is old hcg and am planning on making an appt with the Dr on Monday if it's still the case then. Am worried perhaps something's been left behind following the ERPC?

broody I've had two in quite quick succession and feel trolled! And I've got work tomorrow ...

Ooh all sounds positive boozle peeee!

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 22:16

It's ridiculous, last month I couldn't stop POAS, this month I daren't even buy one! Think I need counselling for POAS!

sebsmummy1 · 17/07/2014 22:17

Hmmm I don't know about old HCG. I think you said you testing negative before the positive so one would assume this is a new pregnancy, however until that line gets darker you can't be sure. On the whole though FRER are considered very reliable tests. If I saw a faint line on one of them I would be assuming I was pregnant.

Boozle80 · 17/07/2014 22:22

I'm with you on that Sebs if there's definitely been a bfn then I may well tentatively assume the same. Try again on Sunday and see if it's darker :) exciting stuff, whoop whoop!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 17/07/2014 22:30

Have definitely definitely had lots of negative tests for the last two weeks with a few faint positives sporadically in between but they've all been internet cheapies until the frer today. It's a two pack so I'll do another over the weekend. I'm really not holding out much hope but I really do appreciate your positivity ladies! This website keeps me sane I swear to god (or at least makes men eel like I'm not alone in my craziness!)

boozle think of all the money you've been saving by not buying tests! I got a really clear BFP last time at 10dpo with a FRER. Definitely worth a short if you can bring yourself to do it but still really early too if you're planning on waiting to test. Really hope it's good news for you x

men eel!? Eww! *me feel

DulcetMoans · 17/07/2014 22:59

Sounding promising in here ladies! Hoping for some good news in the morning.

We are off on hols next week, not sure what to expect cycle-wise as would be due AF whilst away if MC was CD 1. Might not happen or, if it does, it might be horrible by the sounds of some of your stories.

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 02:43

Stands on gate holding out tests and pots!
Get weeing!
How exciting :)

My insomnia, not helped by poorly DS and the huge thunderstorm we just had.
No more sleep for me cue the violins

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 18/07/2014 03:17

marmalade I was woken by the thunder too, then I needed a wee so that obviously meant I had to poas (internet cheapy) and now im awake because it was a bfp again although still light but darker than the other 2!

im waiting for dp to wake up at a reasonable hour so I can use the digi test. Im scared it bill be a bfn because the others are faint Sad

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 18/07/2014 03:18

Big fat fingers, posted too soon Hmm

I hope your ds feels better soon x

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 18/07/2014 06:08

Couldnt wait any longer, the digi says pregnant, I got my bfp Grin

its such a weird feeling, I remember being so excited last time, I just feel scared this time.

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 06:35

Wow, Smiling, that's great! Weird feeling is spot on, its perfectly normal to feel like that Thanks

broodylicious · 18/07/2014 06:40

Yay!!! Congratulations smiling, such fantastic news GrinGrinThanks

Boozle80 · 18/07/2014 06:41
