OPK's, SWI, SS, BFP's, AF's and other acronyms screaming your name? Hide in our wonderfully random and general TTC double decker bus - every stage welcome!

Secret STOP IT!! Just take deep breaths, have a cup of tea (this is Yorkshire by the way, had to change my name in fear that siblings will find me) and remember to breath out! If I POAS now, it will be a BFN because AF isn't due for another week! Stop trying to tempt me you mad temptress!

Welcome TopC! Don't hold back, we are a freaking mad (probably the maddest you will meet) bunch!

Top deck (Waiting to TTC / just seeing what happens)

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking since the start of the first thread you ladies started (which was far more exciting than Eastenders!) but I can't control the TTC madness any longer and am giving in and joining you all if that's okay.

Am TTC my second and am currently at end of 2ww. But I did a test this morning and it was a BFN. Think AF is due sunday so still a bit early but I just know.

Oooh, it's so good to let the madness out and actually talk about it with other mad lovely ladies TTC.

Just remembered that I dreamt last night that I POAS and it was BFP...Had the exact same dream the night before. Someone help me stop obsessing (she says whilst posting on a conception thread)!

Morning Fee. :)
I've given up symptom spotting, I think I give myself the symptoms psycho?somatt...summat.. you know what I mean. So now I'm just trying to keep busy and ignore any queer feelings I get. Hate the disappointment when I'm sure I' must be P but then along comes AF. :(

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

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

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. :)

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?!

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

BFN, couldn't help myself!

Best wait for dear AF to show :(

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

Hi everyone!

Welcome pony :)

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

secret any news?

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

Ah gottit. Thanks Tequila :)

Good luck Minky!

TEST Minky TEST!!

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 :)

Minky, go and POAS!!

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.
