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?

smiling that's wonderful news! Congratulations!! So so pleased for you. I think it's completely understandable to not feel giddy and excited like last time but remember, you're no more likely to have any problems this time than anyone else.

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 08:28

n th spirit of poas Friday, I did a frer again. Another really faint line. Not sure what to think. If day of ERPC is cycle day one then af should arrive on Sunday so I guess I'll just have to wait!

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 08:37

Woo hoo for Boozle as well!

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 08:38

And one day too!

EnglishGirlsReturned · 18/07/2014 08:41

Bloody hell!! This is the most epic poas Friday ever!! 3 in one day has got to be a record!!
Congratulations Smiling, Boozle and Oneday!! Perfectly normal to be shitting your pants a little after what you've been through but try to stay positive. GrinGrin

Whoops, that message was a bit all over the place. Could you tell I was walking in to work behind a pregnant lady?! Very distracting.

I'm so excited for you both smiling and boozle but really convinced mine is still left over hcg that the FRER is more sensitive at picking up. Time will tell I suppose.

broodylicious · 18/07/2014 08:45

monten when you poas? Let's do ours together? X

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 08:46

Broody have you resisted doing another today? Are you testing tomorrow? My plan was to wait until Sunday but that went really well ...

broodylicious · 18/07/2014 08:50

Yeah I'm not doing another til tomorrow or Sunday. I still feel rough as poo, my tummy feels so heavy, my boobs hurt and I'm constantly starving but the frer was totally negative yesterday, so I just can't do it to myself again today.

sebsmummy1 · 18/07/2014 08:55

I'm 5dpo, pretty sure I didn't ovulate this cycle yet still itching to POAS as soon as I can lol. Luckily I have no hpts in the house or on order so unless something exciting happens I suspect I'll just sit patiently for AF.

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 08:59

I can understand that broody. I wish I didn't do it this morning as it's just made me more confused and a bit sad that my body still hasn't recovered/cleansed itself nearly 4 weeks on. I have absolutely no symptoms at all. All your signs are looking good through, fingers and toes crossed x

sebs it's so addictive isn't it? Even though you know you're likely to get a negative testing so early you just can't help yourself. Hoping your wait goes quickly and there's really lovely news for you.

sebsmummy1 · 18/07/2014 09:17

One day when did you start to test negative post mc?

Monten · 18/07/2014 09:20

broody was planning on waiting until sunday, unless AF comes before. If I take first day of negative HPT as CD1 then today would be CD35. If I take day bleeding stopped then I'm approx CD 32. (my normal cycles pre.mc were 35 days)

Did a digi on Wednesday and it was BFN.

I'm thinking I'm not now. Although I was convinced a while back with real AF cramps well before AF due, and loads of CM, which has always been a sign in the past. But I'm on my WTF cycle so am probably just completely getting my hopes up for no reason.

Shall we POAS together on Sunday then?! I just hope if its BFN then AF shows up soon.

oneday really hoping this is good news for you. The waiting is just awful.

Really loving all these BFPs. As Brummie said - we have been pregnant and we will get pregnant again. And all these BFPs just prove that.

greysar · 18/07/2014 09:21

OMG congrats Smiling and Boozle! Actual tears in my eyes, so happy for you both Smile

Oneday, hope everything becomes clearer soon x

BFN for me this morning, not actually surprising as I don't think I've ov'd yet- CD23 today, damn crazy irregular AF... On the bright side, nice glass of wine for me this evening!
