Everyone please feel free to add yourself to the list - it got a bit too confusing when I tried to carry on this is the point at which I gave up. Could you lot sitting next to me add your due dates to the list?

Hi everyone!

What a perfect title!

Let's see how long it takes us to fill this one!? With my OPK obsessing right now, it won't be long!!!!

<waves> hello everyone

Thanks for the new thread fish, I've given up in the old one, too many new posts to read through and it's a nightmare on my phone!

Loving the pink frilly skirt Fish

Was starting to worry I might loose everyone when the old thread filled up

Cup I hope you've located DP! Mine is still square eyed playing COD!

Tequila long time wondered where you'd gone!

So ladies, AF is due tomorrow or Thursday, do I wait patiently or do I get he tests out?

Over & out xx

Vino apologies, hello! Didn't mean to ignore you! Was tying too quickly xx

Evening ladies, shove over. So what's an OPK then? I know what SWI is, am on a promise tonight

Evening all. I'd love to come aboard. AF due Dec 3rd, this is 4th month TTC baby number 2. Already have DS1 who's 2.6.
Hoping that in the time it's taken me to type this, someone has let MakeTeaNotWar know what OPK means so I don't have to ask.

Welcome pony

OPK - ovulation prediction kit

Minky, go and POAS!!

I think I will pee here to mark my place. Good job Fish! In response to your earlier question, I am 6DPO. Will do first response morning AF is due! DH really wants it to be positive now!! Bless him...he is as impatient as me

TEST Minky TEST!!

Ah gottit. Thanks Tequila

Good luck Minky!

Gees guys, like I need any encouragement! Just think of FR & CB's profits from my POAS addiction!

I will may POAS in the morning, I lack will power & patience!! Grr

Yorkshire in all seriousness can you really hold out until AF is due?

MMxx

Hi everyone!

Welcome pony

minky I lacked patience and willpower and was rewarded with a faint positive - go for it.

secret any news?

Yay new thread!!!

And its properly bus shaped this time!!

Ok guys I seriously seriously need help!! Those on facebook (our super secret group) will know what happened yesterday but heres the lowdown!!!

I had major spotting, well like a teaspoon of yakky brown stuff that looked like AF making a start, but non of it made it to the pad I've been wearing as a precaution for the last week (not the same pad obvs!!), anyway, I thought this was start of AF and got excited because I really didn't want my cycle to go over 32 days!! Im now on CD33 and in sum total of AF this morning? zilch!!!!! Normally when AF gets going she really really gets going!!! On top of that Ive been having tummy cramps, some like normal AF but some like a sharp pain, only it doesnt really hurt!! Ive been feeling sick for a while and am just generally shattered!!!

I feel like I'm going mental, like proper TTC crazy!!! I've come to terms with the whole BFN thing but now I just want my AF to kick in so I can carry on!!!

What am I to do guys?! Argghhh!!!!!!!

mental break down achieved

Sparkle I feel your pain! In all honesty, I haven't got a clue. I'm cycle one, like you, so totally clueless.

I'm CD27, AF should be here and I'm too scared to POAS. Help!

Hope one of the gang can help!

MMxx

BFN, couldn't help myself!

Best wait for dear AF to show

Awww Minky Like everyone keeps saying to me, it isnt over until the red witch arrives!!! Besides we may end up AF buddies, then we can wallow in our over emotional self pity pits together!!!

It's shocking Sparkle! I can actually feel AF pains but thought, argh what's another HPT! This TTC malarky doesnt half take over!

And here was me questioning, not so long ago, if I wanted kids! Ridiculous!!

Are you normally 33 days?

MMxx

Minky Since coming off the pill I've had one with drawal bleed, which happened a few days after finishing my final pack of pills, since then I have had a 21 day cycle, and a 32 cycle, so I'd sort of assumed I'd be somewhere in the middle!!! Then yesterday when I had 'whatever that was' I thought "oh ok, 32 days makes sense compared to my last cycle" but now at 33 I just feel a bit fed up, Ive had 4 BFNs this cycle!!!

Secret I wish I could help!! I've no idea though. Sorry.

Minky Rubbish BFN I am just gonna force myself to wait until AF is due. I figured that if I do it the morning I am due on and use a FR, then it will be accurate as they detect it up to 6 days before AF is due...

...does tham make sense?!

Yorkshire Thanks, just helps to have people to moan to/at!!!

I've booked an app with a female doctor!! phew!! only problem to garauntee I see a lady I have to book in advance and their next available app isnt until next thursday, but least I know I only have to get through another week!!
I shall continue making my symptom notes and them approach them next week with a document similar in size to war and peace although slightly more gross!!!

Hey everyone, i'm a newbie to mumsnet but have been browsing a while (and learning acroynms). I'm seated with the TTC's but have my DS seated on my knee! So AF is due 20 Nov and I threw up this morning and have mahoosive painful bb's. Too scared to hope I may be but have everything crossed. I've budged up on my seat so people can sit next to me and chat.

Welcome Feeford! I am due 24th so will be testing on the day! My (tmi) nips have been sensitive for a week now and I have been feeling generally queer! Fingers crossed!!

Seriously Secret?! Ho can you wait that long?! Crazy lady! I would be bouncing off the ceiling by now! Well done you though. Round of applause for Secret ladies, round of applause

Morning Fee, welcome to our humble bus!

Sparkle my AF seem so regular but that maybe as I was on the mini pill, being an oldie and all that!

I hope your doc can shed some light for you. Do you feel disappointed? I do!

Once I've set myself a task, I wrongly expect it to happen yesterday! DP keeps telling me it could take five months for a 'normal' couple! I'm 37 in January so my age is against me to start with Boo!

Yorkshire if you can hold out until AF due day, go for it, no expectations! I think that sore boobs, acid indigestion, feeling sick, set me up for a fall! Probably just hormones in my case!

Over & out

MMxx
