Halloween POAS - anyone fancy joining me?

Just started ttc again, trying for number 2. Dd is 11 months, and we had 2 mc while trying for her.

So, I was completely relaxed about the whole situation, was going to try for a couple of months of 'we'll see what happens'. Then DH asked me when I could POAS. So now it is set in my head that I am on a countdown, thought I may see if anyone fancies joining me for the wait?

Hmm. Bath sounds good, gonna need it after the gym anyway; bubbles, candles, good book. Sold! Not gonna tip the wine, so if it is a bfn I can at least console myself with it.

bluecoconut · 27/10/2014 19:08

Good God No. Never tip the wine unless it has gone off Grin
I could do with following my own advice but I am so shattered I would probably nod off and drown.

Thepurplegiraffe · 27/10/2014 19:10

Good for DH Kate!

VirtualPointyHat · 27/10/2014 19:45

OK, would it be madness to go and buy a couple more clearblue?

i know I am becoming one of those people but with one + and one - I am feling so confused!

Katewright699 · 27/10/2014 19:46

Yeah he's not bad I Spose... Might even keep him lmao Grin

Katewright699 · 27/10/2014 19:48

Oh you poor thing virtual((hugs)) must be complete confusion and very unsettling x

bluecoconut · 27/10/2014 19:53

Yes, but understandable Virtual. I suggest you buy ONE clearblue of frer test and do it with FMU when hcg is at it's highest. Then when you get your bfp, which I am sure you will, no more testing. XXx

bluecoconut · 27/10/2014 19:54

Sorry if that sounded bossy Virtual

IBelieveInPink · 27/10/2014 21:07

Virtual you still not due af right? You shouldn't be using anything but fmu.... Keep those pee sticks til the morning. I'm sure it with show a nice fat positive in the morning.

Who was it who asked about dpo? Blue? (Sorry I'm on my phone I can't go back a page)....
It is possible to get a positive as early as 8dpo but very rare. At 11dpo, 80%of preggy people will show a positive (based on one set of research). Is far safer to wait for the day af is due (usually 14 dpo) by which point most preggy people will show positive (but still not all)

VirtualPointyHat · 27/10/2014 21:25

ok did another, before i saw your istructions blue

DH says he can see a line

will do one more with fmu then stop

cycle is 24-25 days, today is cd25

bluecoconut · 27/10/2014 21:29

That was me IBelieve. I don't check my ovulation so was just wondering.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 27/10/2014 22:10

I can't join in as I wont be testing untill say around 19th 20th November as the witch has just left me, but I'm sure no-one will mind me dropping in and offering my congratulations to the bfp and encouragment for the bfns

bluecoconut · 27/10/2014 22:17

Good luck for tomorrow morning Virtual

Hi ghost. I am new too.

IBelieveInPink · 27/10/2014 22:17

Blue - I don't either. Other than the general just looking out for the signs... Which is why I'm not sure exactly how many dpo I actually am.

Thanks Ilive!

I was tempted to download an app but I know I'd keep forgetting to check my temperature each morning Grin

VirtualPointyHat · 28/10/2014 06:25

ugh just done another, just about see a + but feel like i might be wishing it into seeing?

TMI alert, can I keep FMU and test once I buy another digi when shops open, or will I need to wait until tomorrow now?

IBelieveInPink · 28/10/2014 08:24

Virtual... A positive is a positive! Especially multiple positives... Keep testing if it reassures you... Small price to pay if you ask me Grin

No idea if you can keep pee. Might be waste of £5.... But you could try?

bluecoconut · 28/10/2014 10:27

Morning Virtual! I don't see why you can'y keep fmu. I guess it is no different than doing a sample which you take to a gp appt later in the day?
If you can wait until tomorrow that would be better but I know that it is much easier said than done.

I think af is on her way. I have had abdo pains throughout the night and a bit of brown blood when wiping last night. I suspect she will make a full entrance either later today or tomorrow.

I am absolutely shattered. DC was up at 1.30am. Brought him downstairs as he was showing no signs of going to sleep. He has dozed on and off throughout the night. In his waking moments, he has either been sitting on my head or using me as his own personal bouncy castle.

I did doze off a few times but I kept dreaming of two lions having sex Confused Any shrinks in the house?

IBelieveInPink · 28/10/2014 10:57

Blue - implantation bleed?
Weird dreams is always one of my first symptoms too.....
and I had a very weird one last night!!

Katewright699 · 28/10/2014 11:27

Morning girls... Im not sure I'll be at the POAS party on Friday either as feel like AF is on the way... Cramping today and feel sticky down there( sorry tmi) ... I reckon it's ok to save your wee if it's in a clean cup virtual ... Hope you get more reassurance today x... Better stock up the fanny rags as dh affectionately calls them ... Sigh

bluecoconut · 28/10/2014 11:46

Oooh what did you dream about IBelieve? Go on, tell us. I told you all mine.
Sadly I don't think it is an implantation bleed, as it is how it starts every month.

Hey Kate. It isn't over until the fat witch bleeds. Maybe the sticky is cm?

Katewright699 · 28/10/2014 11:50

I dreamt about being chased by a hoard of zombies the other night .. Bizarre !!!

bluecoconut · 28/10/2014 12:37

Strange!! Googled yours and it relates to worry, feeling out of control, feeling helpless and overpowered.

Can't find anything to explain the meaning of dreaming of lions getting it on. I am sure it must be something really profound and deep though Wink

ruby242 · 28/10/2014 12:39

Hello all, can I join in on the POAS party? This is my second month of trying, I'm unsure on when I ovulated as I was travelling/jetlagged so didn't temp throughout the whole month but I'm hoping by the 31st a pregnancy test will be accurate. Have cramps today which is promising-frer lined up and ready to go!

bluecoconut · 28/10/2014 13:03

Hi ruby. The more the merrier. Welcome aboard!
