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?

Congratulations oneday and boozle!

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 09:22

And smiling wow!!

(Thanks, I think DS ok now!)

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 09:23

Shit sorry oneday!

MrsBeeBeeBee · 18/07/2014 09:30

Congrats boozle and smiling. Such fabulous news. I know it must be scary but I hope you can have a relaxing and happy 9 months xx

oneday I'm really hoping this is your bfp too. It must be so confusing.

Those testing soon, keeping fingers crossed for you x

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 09:34

I'm sorry too Oneday, I misunderstood Sad

sebs I finally tested negative on 5th July. Since then I've had a mixture of mostly negatives but a couple of faint positives and then of course these two faint positive FRER. I'm SO confused. I'm going to call the Dr today because I really don't think I should be having positives tests nearly 4 weeks after my ERPC. It is possible that it could be a new pregnancy as we having been DTD a few times a week but who knows?!

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 09:47

marmalade and daisy don't worry, I have no idea what is going on so please don't be sorry!

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 10:05

Flowers one
Hope you get some answers.

Well I did a test, had some cramping last night and weird cm
I think I have imagined a faintest line ever. So I'm counting it as a BFN.
DH saw the test then said he cannot support me if I keep testing and beating myself up.
:(

sebsmummy1 · 18/07/2014 10:06

It's my understanding that you can't ovulate until you get a negative hpt, so did you do any opks after testing negative or do you remember an episode of EWCM or whatever you normally get when you OV?

sebsmummy1 · 18/07/2014 10:07

Marmalade men can never see faint lines, ignore him. If you think you saw a faint line then you probably did!!

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 10:16

Thanks seb
I can't really see anything on it now :(

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 10:54

sebs I had EWCM for 3 days on 9th, 10th and 11th July and we did DTD two of those days. I didn't think you could ovulate until a -ve OPK either but people keep telling me to count day of ERPC as cycle day 1.

marmalade DH can never see my faint lines either. He couldn't this morning and we had a bit of a debate about it.

marmalade are you in the same scenario as me waiting for first AF? (Sorry I can't scroll back on here to read and find out)

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 11:23

Hello all, another me me update I'm afraid. My lovely research midwife has got me squeezed into clinic at St Marys on Wednesday morning for a bit of closure/reassurance. Yes it's another £100 on the train but it will be the same sonographer and the same equipment as the 6 week scan so I feel it's the best option right now.

OneDayLikeThis2013 · 18/07/2014 12:26

daisy I'm glad you managed to get something booked. 100 is a lot of money but if it gives you the reassurance/closure you need then well worth it. I really hope it goes well and will be thinking of you x

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 13:16

Yep I'm with you oneday

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 13:16

Can only echo oneday's words daisy FX

Daisybell1 · 18/07/2014 13:37

Thank you all. Now have to go and be strapped into a bridesmaids dress all weekend and try to hide why I'm not drinking...

Marmaladecat1 · 18/07/2014 15:41

Ah you can't drink because you have a terrible UTI.
Good job you managed to get an appointment so quickly hey?
Fantastic they give you really strong antibiotics. Mmm you need to flush it out with lots of water.
I'm sure you will be ok for the wedding, might be a bit tired though Wink
done this before

Fergie11 · 18/07/2014 19:32

Congratulations boozie& smiling fantastic news x

Boozle80 · 18/07/2014 19:43

Thanks all, still don't quite believe it! You all have to get BFP's now - I'm not ready to leave you all behind to join the new thread! I may just wait quietly in the background until you all come too.

Foxtrot7459 · 18/07/2014 20:07

Congrats to all the BFP's x

CD33 on the WTF cycle now and still no AF. Have had very light spotting the last 48 hours, but doubt I would even notice if I wasn't focused on wipe watch so much!

Did anyone else have this??

I am hating how messed up mc has made my body Sad

EnglishGirlsReturned · 18/07/2014 20:57

I think i may be close to a positive opk.... what do you ladies think of this??

Daisy, I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope you get some answers on wednesday.
