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?

Marking my place too! littlemiss very funny story and no I don't think it matters, I've not kept legs in the air ever and got upduffed twice. As for dtd, we only have once since I had the erpc a month ago. As you say I think my dh just doesn't want the pressure of ttc right now, I didn't either initially but feel ready to give it a go...I think best just not mention it for the time being and hopefully just get back to some sort of normal tith!

Stats for me

cakebaker35 37, ttc#2 since oct 13, mmc twins in March 14 followed by erpc.

sebs I can definitely see a line there. Maybe try in the morning with am frer? Also I am not quite sure that the lines get darker with ics like they do with frer.

My stats - triplespin 36 ttc#2 march 2013 (can't even remember anymore!) June'13 mc1 5+3, march'14 mc2 6+3. All rmc tests so far clear.

Technically I am still 35, but less than a month to go, so I have put down 36

Oh, and I do have (some) news!

Off for my 2nd autoimmunity blood test tomorrow which I hope will prove I have something like APS, something with a treatment plan...

Hopefully the results will be back in time for consultant appt on 12th May.

I'm also getting tested for Rheumatoid Factor next week, which is a separate issue, but is an autoimmune condition.

Not trying this month but I'm on CD10 and gagging for some TITH. Had some already (hold the gravy) today and could go again! You can guarantee that when we get back to ttc, I'll not be feeling so frisky...

Sorry, updated on the old thread. Thankfully squinter is no stronger, if anything a little weaker, so I suspect it may have been a chemical or else it could just be the ICs doing their normal and being totally crap and unreliable.

I only POAS to start with as my cm has been ridiculous the last few days. When I used to read posts on TTC forums about gushing cm I used to roll my eyes and think stealth boast Grin. But it really has been ridiculous just how wet I've been the last three days. I wonder whether it could be the exercise I'm doing? I will chart it in FF and just carry on.

I'm on cd7, OV expected around cd13. I have ov sticks to check in the evening as I couldn't be arsed to get my fertility monitor out this month. I'm taking Maca root each morning in a smoothie along with DP. Am also considering a high dose co-enzyme q10 formula to help with egg quality. Plus of course a Pregnacare supplement and 200mg vit B6 dose to help with LP.

This month we are going to DTD every other day across the fertile window. When I get a peak stick I will prob do it that day too if it's not on the schedule. Also for a bit afterwards too as last cycle we stopped pretty early as OH was poorly.

Oh and just to add to my TTC dilemma I am considering going back to uni to retrain. If I do I will have to give up the hope of a second as I will need to do three years full time. I hate that I haven't got a crystal ball and can't see what is in store for me so I can make some good decisions.

Sorry to hear that sebs as for uni if its a September start date could you not just apply and keep ttc at the same time? If you won't loose out on money by going through the application prosess I'd just do it if I were you, you can always change your mind and not go it but if you don't apply the decisions out of your hands iyswim?
