It seems AF is coming to get me end of this week (Fri), so instead of feeling sorry for myself I’m trying to look forward to October and getting to try again! šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»

Anyone else with me?

Aww massive congratulations @Rachae! How are you feeling? Hope you have a smooth and wonderful 9 months!

Peauela · 05/10/2021 17:05

I'm going to make a list of all positives I swear šŸ˜‚ tell us more! Tell us your symptoms you mentioned before @Rachae

SammiStap · 05/10/2021 17:14

This October is boding so well! So many BFPs I hope it continues with the rest of us!

SammiStap · 05/10/2021 17:14

Congratulations @Rachae 🄳🄳🄳

Rachae · 05/10/2021 17:18

Thanks everyone!!
I'm feeling pretty shocked haha. A bit scared too as I've had 3 miscarriages since 2019 and then 3 rounds of IVF... Really hoping this one is the one šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

Symptoms wise:
Pale yellow sticky discharge (sorry!)
Mild period pains but probably lower down than usual
Exhausted waking up this morning
Got out of character level pissed off a few times this week lol
Weird one but my eyeballs are very white!

Just can't believe it really.. After a year of IVF cycles!

Wishing everyone baby dust xxx

Peauela · 05/10/2021 17:20

@Rachae ahhh so exciting!!!

Coco9910 · 05/10/2021 18:56

Congratulations @Rachae 🄰 hope the pregnancy goes smooth for you x

Mummytobe93 · 05/10/2021 19:05

That’s great @Rachae, congratulations! šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰

I’ve got a question regarding CM - is stretchy (nearly like EWCM) but white creamy/cloudy CM fertile at all?

MrsBiddy · 05/10/2021 19:44

Congratulations @Rachae

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy xx

Danani · 05/10/2021 20:00

Congratulations amazing news!! X

Peauela · 06/10/2021 06:56

Okay I'm 10 DPO today and I caved in and tested - BFN 🄲 considering the cramping and heavy boobies for the past two days - AF is definitely coming 🄲 I hope you all get your positives this month ā¤ļø

MrsF13 · 06/10/2021 07:39

9dpo today and got my BFP. I'm so over the moon. Still pretty faint and my period isn't due until Monday so I'm trying to keep myself from getting too excited. Hopefully it's a sticky one šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»
Hoping I'll see some more BFP's from you lovely ladies! x

Lucky October? šŸ€
Peauela · 06/10/2021 07:48

@MrsF13 congratulations!!! šŸ€ so exciting ā¤ļø

Danani · 06/10/2021 07:56

CONGRATULATIONS @MrsF13!!! It looks pretty good for 9DPO! I hope it gets stronger and darker for you in the coming days! Ahh such great news to wake up to! :)) I bet you are over the moon!

@Peauela I'm sorry you feel this way lovely, but seriously, until AF shows up you're not OUT! 10 DPO is still pretty early! Don't lose hope!

How is everyone else doing this fine morning?

My Lucky October has gone completely out the window...DH has been having back issue on and off since last Friday so we've not managed to DTD at all since Sat. I'm feeling bad for him, and I'm feeling bad for this month completely wasted...I honestly had such high hopes that this will be it for us! I think my peak is today/tomorrow (haven't tested this morning yet) and it literally breaks my heart to see it come and go and for us to not even try!

Oh well... You know you'll see a new thread from me in November. LOL. Until then, I'm living vicariously through y'all's BFPs!!! I hope we get many many more in here! Genuinely such fab news and makes me smile every time I see someone share theirs! Flowers

@Peauela thank you! Don't count yourself out yet! You aren't out until AF shows. I've got everything crossed for you šŸ¤žšŸ»šŸ¤žšŸ»

Peauela · 06/10/2021 08:16

@Danani @MrsF13 thank you!

Ahh I feel the same seeing others get their BFP ā¤ļø

@Danani I'm sorry to hear that! I know it can be frustrating not being able to even try. I hope he gets better soon and in the meantime, if you manage to even do it once you may still be lucky! But look health always comes first, he needs to be able to heal fully and lift that baby soon lol !

lemons44 · 06/10/2021 08:22

@Danani if you DTD on Saturday, your peak is today and you ovulate tomorrow, by this chart on the clear blue website you still have a 10% chance this month (obviously age will affect it). It only takes one sperm šŸ¤žšŸ¼ so you wouldn't be out completely.

Lucky October? šŸ€
lemons44 · 06/10/2021 08:24

Congrats @MrsF13 and @Rachae
✨

Danani · 06/10/2021 09:21

Awww, thanks @lemons44 for trying to cheer me up! I appreciate it lovely! :) But I just tested and my OPKs say High. I'll test once more in the afternoon/evening, but I'm thinking maybe Peak will be tomorrow after all. Who knows, maybe DH would feel better by then? :D I'm having all my fingers crossed and not counting myself fully OUT just yet, but just preparing mentally it most likely won't be the one this month. And...that's ok. Sh*t happens, just have to roll with it and hopefully I have one hell of a lucky November! Grin

FlyOnTheWall89 · 06/10/2021 09:48

Hi all,

What do you guys put in your app (if you use one) when you get a flashing smiley on a clear blue? Do you put positive test for ovulation, or just make a note of it? I have put positive, but then it moves my ovulation and I am sure I wont ovulate until friday / saturday. EWCM only just appearing in large amounts today but had flashing smileys yesterday and the day before. Obvs will DTD every day or every other day anyway, but just curious. xx

Danani · 06/10/2021 09:58

@FlyOnTheWall89, I just make a note of it, and only mark it as Positive on Peak. Otherwise, it confuses it and throws off the prediction. :)

Congratulations @MrsF13 🄳

So good to see bfp's!!!

Day 9 atm, going to try smep or at least increase the amount of times we dtd before ovulation 🤪

Fingers / toes crossed ladies xxx

SammiStap · 06/10/2021 10:54

Morning all.
Still can’t believe all the BFPs on here lol!
So I’m 8dpo today and I don’t feel very well today, I think I caught a cold in my back or something as I have a bit of an achey back and I got some very mild tenderness going on in lower abdomen. Sometimes boobs feel a bit odd, tingly maybe? But they aren’t sore to touch or anything. I just feel grotty to be honest! I’m not looking into it as pregnancy as I genuinely think I got a chill in my back but I can’t explain the abdomen feeling, but I did have it last month as well a week before af arrived so no hopes are up. But I googled it and internet says it’s unusual to get crampy feelings a week before period so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø šŸ˜‚

Danani · 06/10/2021 10:55

ooooh @SammiStap this sounds promising!! Fingers crossed for you! When are you planning to test? :)
