I’ve probably missed some 😬
Help a girl out and add anyone I’ve missed pls! 🙌🏻

Good morning all and wowee congrats to all the BFPs so lovely to wake up to! I'm still in my fertile week getting flashy smiley faces on CB but today a cheapie FINALLY said high! Also CM has changed from creamy to watery so I think I am getting there. AF due around 6th November so may transition over to that thread as its unlikely I'll get a BFP before November due to late ovulation.

I might stick around here as well though just to keep an eye on everyone else's results because this thread has been super lucky!

8dpo today. Please TWW hurry up. Might test Sunday though early at 10dpo (just to fulfil the POAS addiction 😂)

Feeling heavy today unsure if AF is coming early (which if not pregnant suits me because means fertility window will be here quicker 😂) btt dropped again today but literally it's been all over the place.. (One minute it's back up near peak, next day dropped next day even higher than peak then today dropped back to below peak but still not Af low) don't think it really means anything as I don't consistently take it at the same time each day ie if I get up for a wee at 5 I'll measure bt then otherwise its about 6.30am-7 weekdays or 8am weekends.

I also feel super stressed at the moment which doesn't help ttc (and that's additional stress 😂)

Morning.

Great lines @Effram and @Missy95! 🥰

@BoyMum18 wait until you get your FRER test and try again! Got my fingers crossed.

I'm feeling very uneasy today. I'm still spotting and it's more red than anything else now. Just getting worried as time passes by x

Fingers crossed tightly for you @Cruz86!

Keep us updated - we're here for you.

I am trying so hard not to symptom spot, and every time I break and google, it points to my ovulation happening late this month (which means we didn't manage to DTD at the right time) and all the symptoms being normal luteal phase stuff.

Today, for example, I have been so unbelievably itchy on my legs and stomach. It's been happening on and off for the last week, driving me nuts. I'd be thrilled if it was a sign of anything, but I know it's not. Grrrrr.

Crossing my fingers for you @Cruz86

Wohooo!!! Congratulations @Missy95 @laurenGame!!!!! And thanks so much for sharing everything you did differently this time, super interesting to see and definitely a few things I haven't thought of trying so may steal them for November!

@BoyMum18, I am with the others - do not 100% trust that CB, get yourself a FRER and hopefully your second pink line will pop up!

I LOVE what a positive thread this has been and how many BFPs we've seen over the past 3 weeks! There is still a week and a bit left from this month so I really hope there are more to come!

Happy Friday everyone!!! :)

Awww @Cruz86, just seen your update :(

I have everything crossed for you, that you have a strong and sticky bean in there!!! Keep us posted! Sending you a massive hug! x

I woke up this morning (8dpo) and couldn’t hold on anymore- I did a test even though I knew it was too early. But …… am I going completely mad or is there the faintest of lines developing ?!?! (Premom hcg test)

@Yayay30 I'd be careful with them as mine has done that before and I haven't been pregnant I seem to have a batch that seem to dry down positive after the timing window. But then again it could be. I'd leave it a couple of days!

@Yayay30 I think so but it is incredibly faint as you would expect at 8DPO..... Try to hold out a few more days to be sure.

@apwilso @FlyOnTheWall89

Yea I am mindful it could very well just be an evaporation line- my own silly fault for being so impatient! This wait is brutal.

Going to test again later this weekend coming to see if it becomes any clearer.

Good morning ladies - congratulations to everyone with their BFPs this morning!!

Not sure what's going on with me anymore. Breast still ache but they're not like they were last night and all other symptoms seemed to have gone 🙃
My chart has dipped a bit as well but nothing drastic.
Not counting myself out just yet as I'm still to see if AF arrives next week but reckon I may be joining the November thread.

Thank you @Shortmamashortcycles, @Leibee87 and @Danani. I spoke with my gp who said there's not really much that can be done but to give them a call on Monday for w referral to epu. Although my spotting only happens first thing in the morning and my test is stronger this afternoon so fingers crossed this little one sticks nicely 🤞🏻

Hope you're all okay today xx

That sounds hopeful @Cruz86, sending you the stickiest vibes since Sticky the Stick Insect got stuck on a sticky bun.

🤞🤞🤞❤❤❤

Hi ladies, I took a digital test when I got home from work and it came back 'not pregnant'. Surely 4 days after a missed period there should be enough hcg to detect pregnancy on a digital? I wish I never took it now, its stressed me out. I just hoped seeing the words 'pregnant' would help me to relax a bit but now im definitely not relaxed 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️

@Missy95, normal levels of HCG vary wildly between people and even between pregnancies. IIRC that clearblue test isn't super sensitive either, certainly compared to FRER.

Try not to stress and test again Sunday am, but I know that is much easier said than done!

Im pee'd off with myself for testing and wasting money. They are bloody expensive 😂 xx

Hope you're both okay @Cruz86 and @Missy95!

@Missy95 - sorry to hear that but maybe it didn’t help because it was in the afternoon? So less concentrated levels of hgc? Maybe try again in a couple of days first thing in the morning 🙏🏻

Fingers crossed everything is ok xxx

@Cruz86 - hope it all goes well ❤️, sending you lots of sticky positivity!

@i123i yes hopefully you are right. I got too excited and wanted to see the words haha! In a bit of a slump now haha xx

@Missy95 I feel like this is the time to come clean about my terrible testing habit too... I like to pretend I've as much self control as some people here but I def don't!

Anyway I did a digital yesterday that said not pregnant, and felt the same. But I cracked the case upon because crazy lady and there was a clear second line inside. I did a second one today and it came up as pregnant straight away.

So I think their threshold is high even though they claim not to be. And now I will stop doing anything except the cheapies I've got left because money and also the environment... I try to reduce single use plastic I use except pregnancy tests, esp those which also include batteries and electronics, of course...

@Cruz86 everything crossed for you. If it's just first thing then hopefully it's just old blood from something pooling and coming out. A few of my friends have had this throughout healthy pregnancies!
