Aww mummy I've forgotten what that's like! Poor you x

Orange and Jupiter wake up and test! Lol

I just used the CBFM fertility test stick in the monitor, it gave me a "High" reading due to oestrogen surge.. which is weird as it's the first time I've used it. I don't know if it just counted my missed tests as an average person's "low" or if I've already screwed it up this cycle. CD10 today not expecting to ovulate until CD15-20, depends how long this cycle is. Maybe it will go back to 30 days now (had 35 then 33).

I'm gonna stop having unprotected sex now until a few days after O. DH and I will have to be creative as neither of us CBA with condoms. This month would be v bad timing!

So guys.. this just happened am I hallucinating?!?!

Fuck a duck Jupiter you're pregnant!! Amazing! I can see that without even clicking on the pic!! Congrats!!!!!

Literally in shock... must have been the flipping magic lube.

jupiter I could also see it without clicking on the test!!!!! Congratulations 😀😀😀 I did have a sneaking suspicion this morning you might be 😀

Given confused provided the OPKs and lube (and the lute) for me this month she can definitely take some credit if this all works out...thank you lovely!

Now as you know last month my DH insisted I test with him. Except I did it on my own today and he's asleep next to me. I'm going to wait for AF to actually be late (this weekend) and test again with him then. I'll feel more secure by then that this won't be a chemical. I don't want to get his hopes up now..

Jupiter woooooohooooooo the power of the lube!!!! Congratulations cycle buddy I am so pleased for you. Welcome to the longest wait of all lol xxx

Thank you mummy (hope you're baby vomit free) and grumpy xx

Yay and thank you Tigger :)

OMG Jupiter massive congratulations! I'm delighted for you.

It was a BFN for me I'm afraid.

Jupiter I can definitely see it without clicking on the picture too. Congratulations mummy to be..your pregnant!! 🎉

Sorry for the BFN orange when is AF due?

So this was another lube baby!! Did you use it every time? In your FW?

No more child sick this morning but my stomach is feeling a bit delicate. Childminder has also been sick apparently

Buzz has AF arrived yet???

Sorry for BFN orange

Thanks orange, so sorry about your BFN. Hope you're okay and so many good wishes for today - really hope it all goes okay x

Thanks laura, still in shock.. might not believe it until AF is officially late (due thurs/fri)

I'm getting some of that lube now, haha!

grumpy AB is due on Thursday, so I will just see what happens then. It was paperwhite on a FRER though, so not holding out much hope!

mummy used the lube three times across four x DTDs in fertile week. The power of lube! Once I'm sure this baby is sticking around I'll pass on my cupboard full to one lucky reader x

Or you can each have some! confused provided enough to last until menopause!

We're 3 out of 3 positives for the lube now!

OMG Jupiter

AMAZING NEWS!!! & probably even better cos you'd talked yourself out!!!! Gonna totally work the lube if this isn't my month!!!

Poor mummy , you've been up to your ears in vom recently, FX for s speeding recovery x

We used lube twice over FW BD sessions... we will see though with this out of sync cycle.
Did you have any symptoms jupiter?

7DPO here. Nothing really to say. Not noticed any CM.. checked this morning any that is there is clear, occasional twinges in my boobs and had a bit of pelvic discomfort a few days ago.. that's it. Very different to last cycle

mummy symptom wise... everything you'd expect pre-AF! Breasts tender (normal for me), cramping, emotional. No cm to speak of. The only difference from a normal cycle is that I had cramping on 9DPO that felt more focused to my left side. But also that might have been wind. Still having period pains... that's why won't relax and enjoy this until after AF due date has passed. Feeling different to last cycle sounds promising! Good luck!!

Omg Jupiter that's amazing!! Congratulations

Sorry for the BFN orange
