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!!!!

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!

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

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?

Hi everyone!

Welcome pony :)

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

secret any news?

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 :(

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

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?!

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

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. :(
