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?

Poop or get off the pot. He he

daisy thats lovely news I scanned the thread to see if you had posted.

just marking my place will catch up later but hope everyones had a good day.

Daisybell so pleased to hear that - fantastic news!

Hello Ladies
The banter on here has really cheered me up! I'm 2 time MC TTC. I'm sat on sofa feeling ill, boobs been hurting, gums bleeding, dizzy today! I think roughly 14 days PO expecting the dreaded period at the weekend!! Am I just going plain crazy????????? Have I made up these symptoms??? I'm just going craaaaaaazy convincing myself I'm pregnant...AGAIN! Last month I was feeling sick....the dreaded came. Done 3 test already which is just stupid because clearly to early! WTF do us MC crew do to ourselves? I feel crazy!!!!!!!

P.S just had to google the acronyms POAS and others! Sorry I broke the rules :-) can you forgive? I won't do again now I know! Trying very hard to wait till Friday for my next POAS ....

Hi ladies - hurray new thread! Thanks sal for doing that. So much to catch up on.

daisy AMAZING!!! That's just brilliant news, so pleased for you. Keep us posted with how you're getting on.

tanny 'come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off' is my favourite thick of it quote ever. Is it wrong that I slightly fancy Malcolm Tucker? It's all the swearing and rantyness yet cleverness, totally does it for me.

Can I add knobbers to the list? And bell end, there's always room for a bell end. Ahem.

Thanks for everyone cheering me up about July and so sorry some of you also have reasons to hate this month. I don't really, am just being a bit self indulgent. Perhaps July will be the month I get upduffed again? Who knows?

smiling ( I think it was you, I can't scroll back!) I'm so sorry to hear about your Dtd stresses. I can only imagine the stress that ttc after a miscarriage puts on that situation. I have no advice really, just that, if it was me, I would try and shag as much outside the 'window' as possible so when it is the window it doesn't feel as staged. Sorry, that's not much help and I'm sure you're doing that already. It gets bloody exhausting as well doesn't it?

I know we're all being upbeat and positive but can I just have a ranty rant rant? I have a client who got married in September last year. Before her wedding (she was a total bridezilla btw) she kept going on about how she was going to start ttc the minute she was married. I haven't seen her in ages and today bumped into a mutual colleague. The client is seven months pregnant, huge bump apparently, and due in September. How come she gets to meet her baby really soon and I've lost two in the same amount of time? It's just not fucking fair. Knobber bell end.

Sorry you've found yourself here Dulcet - you're in the best possible place though.

Sal - glad your appointment went well. Nothing like a bit of pressure to spur the diet on. I also did the 5:2 before my wedding and found it brilliant. Good luck!!

Yay for the heartbeat Daisy - thats amazing news!!

Zebra - don't worry about the colour of the tests. A bfp is a bfp!! And some mild cramping is fairly normal. I know after the shit we've been through it's hard to stay positive but today you are pregnant

And hello to all the newbies! Sorry you are here. We are all very nice and like swearing. And talking about the dirty ways we are going to trick our dps into impregnating us. Apart from that though we are most upstanding.

The humble 'bugger' is also a great word!

Aaah yes, that's currently a fave with my two year old. She just turned to me as she was falling asleep to say "Poppy little bugger". Yes you are, go to sleep!!!

Rant away monten!
I saw so many pregnant women today. DH asked what was wrong so I actually told him and we argued.
He didn't really understand.

Genius! That's really funny :)

Treacle - my DH didn't understand my hatred if all pregnant people first time round. This time if I tell him about any new pregnancy announcements he joins me in the 'fucking arse' shouting!

I have a work colleague who I refer to as 'the knob with no knob' (not to his face obviously) as just being a knob isn't an insult enough - he is a knob with no knob or a tkwnk for short!

Haha, I wish DH would.

Tomorrow it's my friends bday. Shes like 8 months pregnant. Saturday it's my other friends daughters christening.
Ugh.

Ill join in the moan, just read an article about Jodie Cunningham on the mail - should know better but I clicked a link. Apparently she would have had an abortion if she had known the baby would be a boy earlier. Then someone in AIBU said she thinks lots of people feel like that. Id love a little boy! Angry face!

Meant to be out for dinner with friends tomorrow. Three on mat leave, one currently pregnant. Can I handle it...?!

Dulcet, i saw that too. Stupid bloody woman.

That woman is the epitome of vile! Poor baby being born to that bitch!

Hey all, I was kind of hoping not to be on my 3rd TTC after mc thread but as I am it's good to be on with you fab ladies.

I also love a good swear, think you've covered most of them but I'm going to add 'fartknocker!' a current fave of my godson and one that always raises a smile/snigger.

Welcome to the newbies, it's rubbish to be here but great to feel normal-ish when in RL mc can be very isolating. dulcet I think your dinner out sounds like one bump/mum too far, be kind yourself bin them off and go and drink wine with your other half!!

Daisy Yay! congrats, there is hope out there. You are pregnant-enjoy

Just marking my place...off to Portugal in the early hours for 2 weeks looking forward to hearing of all these bfps when I get back :)

And massive congrats daisy lovely news xx

Oh there it is - first Facebook announcement since MC. Only took 5 days. Can't quite bring myself to 'like' it...

Fart Knocker! I love it - I'm going to add that to my staff room vocabulary, alongside pig dog!

treacle I told dh about the pregnant client and he totally didn't get it. Actually hearing it coming out of my mouth I did just sound like a massive cow.

Sorry dulcet. Bloody Facebook.

Have fun carly! I'm off to France on Saturday and can't bloody wait. Going to eat loads of Brie and drink gallons of red wine, just because I can.

I completely understand.
Men just don't get it :(

I drop the c-bomb approximately 86 times a day...
