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?

It's so hard to tell chasing, I think we all had something different. My cycles returned as normal both times, using date of MC as CD1, I was 28-30 later.

I have heard that you won't ovulate until level is 0 and medically that makes sense to me but my AF was not really delayed as a result of MCs and I was still testing positive until a week before my next AF the first time so clueless on the ovulation question.

charlieis30 · 01/11/2014 16:30

chasing i had af exactly same time as normal 39 days after erpc but then had another af (full not just breakthrough) starting round cd10. then 30 days from that date af again. gp said she thought i might have ovd twice after erpc

Ignominious. . Stop being silly Grin you are clearly up duffed! Congratulations! Can't wait to see your digi/frer

chasingtherainbow · 01/11/2014 18:05

Oh ok that's interesting.. but inconclusive lol... guess it's waiting game.

I keep going over how the digi showed up and then seeing my empty womb.
I know it's because I still have hcg (yesterday's test was 220) ... but the digi in my mind was like the holy grail of ttc. To see it positive (and the super strong frer and know my womb was so empty.. I feel like I can never trust a pregnancy test again.

ignominious · 01/11/2014 19:11

Chasing I know what you mean about the test. I don't know how long my hcg took to go down as I didn't do a test for 4 or 5 weeks after. Too depressing to see a negative. I think it does take a while though. I definitely still felt sick for a good couple of weeks Hmm

daisysunshine2 · 01/11/2014 19:16

That must be so hard chasing I felt the same when I did a pregnancy test the day before my 6 week scan (had small bleed at 5+3) and it was really strong and my womb was empty :( it's really hard to process and accept, sending you lots of hugs and thinking of you lots.

I'm a bit confused here... So woke up this morning to lots of pink CM and when I wiped there was a streak of red so I figured AF had arrived. I always get really really bad cramps and so far today... Absolutely nothing, no further bleeding or anything and now just a tiny bit of brown blood when I wipe. I always come on really heavy for the first three days then go lighter... I hate confusing cycles!!! Now all I can think is implantation bleed?! But I think that's grasping at straws and I'm just having a messed up AF bet I'll still test tomorrow morning though

northdownmummy · 01/11/2014 19:55

daisy isn't it rubbish that we'll never be able to get through among he without obsessing and second guessing everything. I think that's why I'm feeling so emotionally wiped out.
Had a big heart to heart with my husband on Thursday and he asked me to be more open with him about all the wee thoughts that spin around my head. But they're all so daft and muddled, feels like you ladies are the only ones who really get it

daisysunshine2 · 01/11/2014 20:13

My DH asked for the same thing but I had the same problem as you! Feel like you're the only ones who really understand.

Now I've just got a bit of creamy CM. No brown or pink spotting, no cramping and really sore bbs and nipples! Confused

Thepurplegiraffe · 01/11/2014 20:22

Sounds promising Daisy, what dpo are you?

daisysunshine2 · 01/11/2014 20:24

12 dpo today (roughly, didn't use OPK's but had EWCM and right sided pain so know it was 19th/20th) x

Thepurplegiraffe · 01/11/2014 20:47

Definitely a good time to test. Do you have an frer?

daisysunshine2 · 01/11/2014 20:51

No got a clear blue digital with conception indicator... Too soon for that do you think? Can never seem to get FRERs... Should probably order some online! x

Thepurplegiraffe · 01/11/2014 21:07

I really don't know. I didn't get a bfp last time until several days after af was due with a digi but then that one didn't work out. I tested with a frer at 12dpo this time and got a strong positive. I also didn't use fmu last time which probably would make a difference. It can't hurt to try tomorrow and try again in a few days if bfn and af doesn't arrive.

daisysunshine2 · 01/11/2014 21:54

Yeah I might see what things are like in the morning and test of no AF, i shall keep you all updated! I think AF will arrive overnight

NewEraNewMindset · 02/11/2014 09:25

Daisy from the sound of your symptoms I would put money on you being pregnant.

Well I am quite excited! I know im not pregnant but I think I've managed, with the help of supplements, to stretch my LP to 14 days!!!!! Grin

My last few periods have seen me OV day 10 with 13 day LP, then OV day 11 with 13 day LP and this month I OVed day 12 (backed up with temp shift) and I expected AF today. No sign of her!! So assuming she arrives tomorrow that will be a perfect 14 day LP.

The plan is to take soy next cycle, day 5-9 and see if I can knock OV back a day. Then I might actually start getting a normal length cycle again. Obviously the plan is to get knocked up and not give a shut about cycles at all but you know, let's try for perfection while I'm waiting Grin

chasingtherainbow · 02/11/2014 10:33

Newera, woo for you! I began reading taking charge of your fertility last night. . I'm hoping it'll help me feel more in control and understand my cycle better.

Just back from my last bloods. They'll call later with the results. Hopefully they've dramatically increased! I think i have some pinky cm/or slightly bloody urine/start of more bleeding? Going on. Sounds ridiculous but the loo roll we had delivered last night was a substitute and is this weird colour.. so I can't bloody tell! Have popped a panty liner in, hopefully I'll be able to tell!

chasingtherainbow · 02/11/2014 10:34

Not increased.. decreased ... clearly my subconscious is still thinking I'm pregnant!

daisysunshine2 · 02/11/2014 10:56

Still no sign of AF for me but was too scared of getting 'not pregnant' AF is officially due tomorrow so will test Tuesday morning is she's a no show... Have given my tests to DH to hide until Tuesday!

DulcetMoans · 02/11/2014 10:58

Any news daisy?

Great news on increasing the LP new, that should hopefully help a lot.

Good luck with results chasing.

ignominious · 02/11/2014 12:28

Come on daisy! I keep checking the thread for updates!

daisysunshine2 · 02/11/2014 13:24

I did update! Maybe it didn't send :( I decided to not test... Had pinky cm again but no real AF yet but my cycles have altered a bit since mc so Monday would be officially late so will test Tuesday morning. I gave DH my tests to hide! Sorry guys x

chasingtherainbow · 02/11/2014 14:47

Fuck sake :'( .. hospital called any my levels are 265. They were 220 Friday. More blood tests.

NewEraNewMindset · 02/11/2014 15:43

Chasing the same thing happen to me don't worry. I kept getting slow increases until I bled again for two weeks then I tested negative after. They will keep monitoring you but I suspect you will bleed this last little bit if tissue out yourself. So sorry darling xxxxx

chasingtherainbow · 02/11/2014 16:02

Oh really? That would be good. I did think my original bleed didn't seem long enough. I had thought somthing was starting earlier but it's not. Today is cd16 if counting from my first day of bleeding. .. Do you think it might happen soon?

The dr who called was talking about camera's and medical procedures. I will do anything to avoid that.. It makes me sick just thinking about it. :(

I don't feel poorly. I still feel pregnant. . With a sad empty feeling to boot. Think that's for seeing my empty womb though. I still can't shake it. It almost felt sinister. It's really tormenting me and I just don't know why. When my bleeding stopped and I thought it was all over I was actually feeling positive (in that, into a new cycle, anything is possible, positive) and felt I'd escaped relatively emotionally unscathed in comparison to others. Now I feel a wreck!

NewEraNewMindset · 02/11/2014 16:29

I would hang on unless you start getting symptoms of infection, fever, shakes, green discharge etc.

I can remember that I said to the doctor I had a feeling I would start to bleed again around the same time as my period was expected. I was right. I just didn't expect to bleed for two weeks!! How long do you have to wait until your period would appear according to your cycles?
