POAS Anonymous: The story continues

[pinpan]

A new thread for anyone who needs support to not POAS until 12 dpo!

Good luck, newbie and bree!
we need some BFPs:)

Hey all :) sorry haven't been in touch for ages but I've been following all your stories :) congrats to the BFP and Terry's sorry to hear all you've had to go through and hope you get a BFP soon! Ive just started using OPK's this month And am currently on day 3 of 'high' surely I should be peak by now? I thought it only identifies 4 fertile days.. Maybe I'll get peak tomorrow! :) x

Hi all, I think this is the thread for me! If it's not, please be kind as this section is very daunting. I'm a pee-on-a-stick-oholic. Even when it makes no sense.

Little bit about me, which might out me to anyone who knows me, but I trust people will respect my privacy and keep their mouths shut or else.

I had breast cancer three years ago and was successfully treated with chemo, radio and other fun things. The chemo I had contained a drug that is quite damaging to ovaries. Due to my age, I had a good chance of having fertility left. My periods never stopped and I've had positive test strips when I've done ovulation tests at home, but everything I've read suggests that my egg reserve is now the equivalent to a woman ten years older than me. I'm in my thirties, but my eggs aren't.

I'm the first cycle into ttc. I have only just started to chart so I have no idea when I ovulated, or even if I did. Period is due around the 13th. I had brown spotting on the 4th and a tiny bit of red streaked CM yesterday and today. All pregnancy tests have been negative, including one this morning. I have no idea what is going on because I've never ever had spotting like that before and not been pregnant (I have a DS). Trying not to POAS again until the 13th and need support to do so!

Oh good luck somesortifdeliciousbiscuit!! I tested today at 4 days early and BFN so hoping I've just tested too early but suspect this is no 4 cycle where Mother Nature ain't playing game.....grrrrr!

Good luck everyone!

I hate the waiting game (don't we all!). I wasn't prepared for any weirdness this month, so the spotting has thrown me completely. I want a BPF or AF to start, so I know where I stand! It's really messing with my head.

Well I'm out for this month I think, just got a BFN at 3 days before AF due :(

I'm out too. Spotting is getting heavier and had another BNF. I was wracking my brains trying to think why I've been spotting this month, when I never ever have before and not been pregnant. The only thing I've done differently is take Pregnacare Conception vitamins.

A quick google revealed I'm far from the only woman to have experienced that, but no-one knows why they can cause it. I took them because I fell pregnant quite quickly last time when I started taking them, so it was a bit of a mental crutch for me, but they aren't agreeing with me at all this time.

Can anyone recommend another good multivitamin please?

I'm out - AF got me 4 days early for some reason. Gutted. Roll on time to POAS for OPK.

Hi everyone, first post but I'm such a POASaholic I'd like to join! It's got to the point where I'm only CD6 so obviously not ovulated yet but oh is working away so I've been sneaking tests into the bathroom!! Haven't actually POAS yet but even that has taken willpower- ridiculous I know! I'm also currently obsessing over whether he will be home in time for ov! Oh dear, it really is all consuming isn't it?!
I came off the pill 14 months ago and have been using CBFM for 6months. I had endometriosis removed 2years ago but not had symptoms since -strongly hope it's not affecting fertility but also too scared to find out if that makes any sense?! Had 4surgeries on my tummy for various things and don't want any more!
Somesort I am taking seven seas trying for a baby vitamins which seem ok, they have all the recommended stuff anyway!
Sorry for the epic post but I'm driving myself (and oh) crazy with all this as most friends/sister seem to pop babies out willynilly so don't really get it- lovely to find like minded people on here xx

hello sarahsun welcome to the obsessors group, we've checked your credentials and it sounds like you'll fit right in

Things have been very quiet here in the past week though, where is everyone?

Hey all. I don't know where everyone else is but I'm not really being so obsessive anymore! Basically I had an even worse period last time and it was like I had a hard time even hugging my daughter because my stomach was sore to just touch. So went back to doctor and we think something has gone wrong from my last miscarriage which is why I'm not getting pregnant and why my period is getting worse every month. He's referring me for a scan to start with but that might even take three months to come through. Looking into private ones soon I think. So... Looks like I will be waiting a long time for a baby if at all. Sigh. I hope everyone else is having better luck.

Sorry to hear that, RedBunny. Do you chart your cycles? If not, would you consider starting? It might give you valuable information and even if it doesn't, it might help you to feel a bit more in control of it all.

Still patiently* waiting. I've been nauseous and have nipple soreness but I've no idea when AF is due because I ovulated 5 days before I thought I would. My BBT has been higher than normal...

*climbing the walls, desperately trying not to PO yet another S

According to Ovia I can POAS tomorrow but I've had some clotty spotting today

Spangila what happened? Did you POAS? Or AF showed up?

I POAS and got a BFN this morning and now it feels like AF is just about to visit

I'm guessing AF got you then.
Where is everyone else now?
I'm on 8dpo today. So.... Can gets with a first response in four days!! Maybe use internet cheapies in the meantime if I just can't hold off!!

I'm still waiting - CD35 now!! Still bfn, but tons of symptoms, not sure what is going on!

Do you know when you ovulated for sure?

Where's pinpan? She started the thread and I can't remember seeing her here for ages!

Another month, another cycle. Waiting for confirmation of ovulation. I had a slight temp rise this morning but not a dramatic one and I need more data before I'm sure.

How's everyone doing? STEP AWAY FROM THE PEE STICKS.

Yeah pee sticks.... I hate to think how many £££££ I've spent on pee sticks!! I'm out this month again. Bfn today. Waiting for another AF so I can get onto next try now!!

Hello gang, on the TWW, ovulated a bit earlier than usual. Got a good feeling about this time and trying to be optimistic... Anyone else on the two week wait? Need some company/moral support!

Still no AF here so think I oved quite late - bring on the 3 and a half week wait!!

Hey everyone :)
