AF has just arrived for me so looks like I’m moving over to the November thread. Feeling weirdly positive though, day one of next cycle means can start trying again and hopefully this month will be the one! Xx

Cruz86 · 22/10/2021 17:16

Thank you all! Just trying to rest and it's just a case of seeing what happens I guess 😞

@Missy95 don't be disheartened by that digital result!! Honestly, I'm not going anywhere near one until at least next weekend at the earliest!

BoyMum18 · 22/10/2021 17:23

Hope everyone's had a good day!
Frer was negative so definitely a bad clear blue last night. Don't know how they get away with it. Must crush so many women :(

Squiff70 · 22/10/2021 18:45

Yesssss! No more limbo for me after a 36(!) day cycle (normally 28). AF has showed up and so I'm moving over to the November thread.

Best of luck to everyone testing now and yet to test. I'll keep checking back to see how you're all getting on.

Good luck! Will most likely see you soon just hoping AF comes quickly for me but on cd 32
Cruz86 · 22/10/2021 20:32

So sorry to hear that @BoyMum18 😞

Glad you're not in limbo anymore @Squiff70 and you can start afresh now. Not knowing and waiting around is the worst!

ohmybaby · 22/10/2021 22:46

@Squiff70 @beckybabyx hoping I see you both over on the November thread…! CD 35 (usually 28-29) and negative test today. The waiting is the worst!!

@BoyMum18 so sorry πŸ˜” that’s so so tough xx

beckybabyx · 22/10/2021 23:09

Bless you @ohmybaby hope you get your BFP and don’t have to join the November thread, I can only imagine how you feel waiting! Have you ever had such a long cycle before? Aren’t our bodies such a strange thing!! Xx

Firsttimetrier · 23/10/2021 06:22

Morning all, how are you all doing?

I have a major urge to poas as I’m now either 10 or 11DPO and going on a hen do this evening, but I’ve already peed this morning. If I hold for a couple of hours, would this be pointless?

I keep getting that feeling that I’ve suddenly come on my period and need to check, but no signs of AF.

Danani · 23/10/2021 07:42

Morning all!

I had some pink spotting this morning so can say that AF is coming. I’ll be over on the Nov thread but will still check in here to see more BFPs!! ❀️

Mummybearto3bg · 23/10/2021 08:25

@Cruz86 hope everything turns out OK!
@Danani see you on Nov thread!

I've been quieter as I have no idea what's going on with me. I'm now 13 days late in a 28 day cycle. Never in my life has this happened but I'm not pregnant (countless tests) so I'm just waiting around. One strange thing was yesterday I had the largest amount of extremely stretchy clear discharge that I've ever seen and so I wondered if I was ovulating?! Can you ovulate without having a period?.. because if I had my period as normal then it would of been day 13 which is when I would normally ovulate ish. Very very odd. Anyway good luck to those that aren't out! See the rest of you on the Nov thread :)

Shortmamashortcycles · 23/10/2021 08:40

@Mummybearto3bg, I think an anovulatory cycle sometimes results in no period, so you might be ovulating in a new cycle? (It's not happened to me but from reading / other friends). Apparently normal to occasionally have an anovulatory cycle πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

i123i · 23/10/2021 08:40

@Danani wishing you the best of luck in November!

@Firsttimetrier - I don’t think it will change over the next few hours (but I’m not doctor!!) so I would enjoy the hen do :) (with a bit of moderation maybe ;) )

@Mummytobe93 - have you been more stressed lately? Or sick? Or the COVID vaccine? So frustrating when that happens to our bodies! I had a few months of really long cycles when I was super stressed at work and wasn’t helping by doing stressful and tough exercise classes. Hope you get to the bottom of it πŸ™πŸ»

i123i · 23/10/2021 08:41

@Squiff70 - glad you’re out of limbo. On and upwards to November happiness πŸ™πŸ»

i123i · 23/10/2021 08:42

@BoyMum18 - really sorry to hear that 😞 x

Lianna93 · 23/10/2021 08:44

Morning ladies, hope you're all well.

As AF is looming closer, it's definitely feeling like I'll be joining yous for November.
I'm now 10dpo, my bbt has dropped and I'm getting AF cramps now.
Might hold off testing on Tuesday and see if I go late or not.

Cruz86 · 23/10/2021 08:57

Sorry @beckybabyx, I completely missed yesterday that af arrived for you. Good luck for next cycle!

@Firsttimetrier I don't mean to throw a spanner in the works but my hcg levels are actually stronger as the day goes on. It happened with my first too, had clearer results in the afternoon! So I don't see the harm in testing before you go. Enjoy the hen do too!!

@Danani noooo, it can't be!! I really hope you come back in a couple of days to say you've got your bfp πŸ˜‚ but if not, good luck for next cycle ❀️

@ohmybaby, hope you get an answer soon. Waiting around is painful 😣

@Mummybearto3bg im not clued up on anovulatory cycles but it does sound like it could be! Maybe you should be DTD just in case!

Cruz86 · 23/10/2021 08:57

And I really hope af stays away @Lianna93!

Mummybearto3bg · 23/10/2021 11:15

@Shortmamashortcycles I've never heard of it but if it does happen, then maybe that's the case. So strange!
@i123i no stress, only had 1 vaccine back in July and I'm too lazy to exercise 🀣
@cruz no messing around here πŸ€£πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Peonies94 · 23/10/2021 11:50

@Danani I’ll be joining you there too! Af has arrived

Firsttimetrier · 23/10/2021 11:58

That’s very interesting to know! Did you hold for a few hours before testing? I’ll give it a go before I leave as least I’ll know how moderate I need to go πŸ˜‚.

ohmybaby · 23/10/2021 12:05

Thank you @Cruz86 @beckybabyx - I just wish I knew what was happening. @Mummybearto3bg I wonder if I’m in the same boat as you with a potential anovulatory cycle. I’m a week late now with a bin full of BFNs - completely understand your frustration, it’s not an easy place to be in emotionally. Keep an eye on your CM but I agree with the above - DTD just in case!! Xx

Cruz86 · 23/10/2021 12:10

Haha good idea @Firsttimetrier. Probably a couple of hours, if that, but I don't actively try and hold my wee in just for a test πŸ˜‚

ExPatHereForAChat · 23/10/2021 12:29

So many BFPs on this thread. Congrats to all the newly expecting.Smile

I'm currently 9dpo and caved and took an IC. Not surprisingly it was a BFN. Feel like AF is coming on already but really want this to be our month. I've been having short cycles so if AF isn't here tomorrow will test again with my one FRER.
I promised I wouldn't test early this month but I can't help it!

Mummybearto3bg · 23/10/2021 12:31

@ohmybaby I totally get it. Being this late with loads of negatives! I'm OK about it now, just going to keep going :) good luck xx
