@BoyMum18, still waiting over here... think I ovulated later than usual so while I'm CD25, I'm anywhere from 7DPO to 12DPO.

Haven't tested yet, not feeling confident as we didn't get much chance to cover our bases this month. Will maybe test Tues morning if no AF by then. Hope you're out of TWW limbo soon!

hopingtostartfamily · 24/10/2021 22:07

Hello everyone!

I am super late to this thread but hoping I can still join! My AF is due on Tuesday and I have managed to avoid testing this month (unusual for me). Considering doing a FRER tomorow - what do you guys think?

I’m not overly hopeful as I just Used the flow app this month (after a few months of being quite strict with ovulation sticks etc we decided to take a step back as the stress was getting to us!)

Lianna93 · 24/10/2021 22:52

@Cruz86 @i123i Gonna hold off testing at the moment because if implantation has just happened, it'll be too early to test. I'll give it til Friday - hopefully by then I'll know which thread to join for the foreseeable future 🀞🏻

Lianna93 · 24/10/2021 22:56

@hopingtostartfamily Definitely a good day to take FRER if due Tuesday - keep us updated! :)

ohmybaby · 25/10/2021 08:15

Just wanted to update! AF showed her face today and I’m HONESTLY THRILLED after a 37 day cycle and a million BFNs. Just a relief at this point to be able to start again. Heading on over to November - fingers crossed and baby dust to all xx

Danani · 25/10/2021 08:52

Good morning all!

I feel like I've been a bad (thread) host these last few days, but between AF arriving and a busy weekend I wasn't much on here at all.

Congratulations @Cruz86 - those lines look brilliant! And to everyone else who either got their BFP, or has a beautiful line progression! Very excited for you all, and hope your good luck rubs off on the rest of us too!! :)

I'm very sorry to hear about those who got their AF, or are getting BFNs - it seems a lot of us have moved over to the Nov thread, so we'll keep each other company there (and hopefully not for long!).

Hope everyone has a great week!
This is the last week of October, I hope we do get a few more good news over here, but to everyone else - thank you for joining my "little" thread and making it such a fun and supportive place! It was great being together in lucky October!
Now on to a luckier November!!!

Hi ladies. So glad to see some more BFPs on this thread. Sorry to those whose AF arrived. Best of luck to you all on your next cycle ❀️

purpleskyssssss · 25/10/2021 09:36

Sorry to see people AF arriving - I am only 8 DPO and due AF on Saturday.

Not really feeling any symptoms, I was feeling more positive on 5dpo/ 6DPO but not feeling too confident now - but I feel like this every month from 8DPO I think after many months of me feeling positive and AF arriving - I now unconsciously prepare myself for AF arriving to manage emotions?

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction for the November thread? I'm hoping I don't need it but would be good to be able to access if AF does arrive this weekend

laurenGame · 25/10/2021 09:45

Thank you @Danani - it was the thread for me. trying since feb and just when I was losing hope it finally happened. I'll remember your thread forever πŸ€—πŸ’«

Shortmamashortcycles · 25/10/2021 09:46

@purpleskyssssss, November thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/4379991-Remember-remember-the-month-of-November-as-it-s-the-month-I-m-getting-pregnant

Hopefully you won't need it! I was utterly convinced I was out a week before my first BFP - had a good old cry because it was our 10th cycle. Honestly it felt identical to every other month. Infuriating but true...

purpleskyssssss · 25/10/2021 12:01

Thankyou @Shortmamashortcycles

Good luck to you testing πŸ˜€

Cruz86 · 25/10/2021 13:15

When did you start using the opks @Bubblyunicorn?

Thank you @Squiff70! Oh wow, that's a long cycle. Wishing you all the best for November - I'll be checking out the new thread for updates ☺️ Time for you to get down to the sound of fireworks πŸ˜‚

Did you test @hopingtostartfamily? If not, good luck for when you do!

Good luck @Lianna93, hope it was implantation bleeding and you get a bfp soon.

@ohmybaby glad you're no longer waiting around for af and good luck for your next cycle!!

How are you doing @Shortmamashortcycles?

@purpleskyssssss good luck! I hope you get your bfp! It is very normal to manage your emotions each cycle to avoid disappointment.

Cruz86 · 25/10/2021 13:17

Thank you for this little thread @Danani. I'm sad because it feels like we're splitting off and going separate ways 😭 I really hope we'll have some of you joining our July thread by the end of the month, and I'll be checking in to see how you're getting on too ❀️

jadeypies · 25/10/2021 13:20

Just wanted to drop by and say I'm so sorry for those who didn't get their bfps this month.
A massive thank you to @Danani - this thread has not only been a lucky one for me but also helped me get over my early miscarriage in my previous cycle too.
To those of you who get your bfps soon (hopefully all of you πŸ€žπŸ™) come across to the Due July thread... it'll be amazing to see you all xxx

hopingtostartfamily · 25/10/2021 13:39

Congratulations to everyone who has had their BFP and sorry to those who have had their AF arrive. I will keep my fingers crossed for you all in November and think I will be joining you on that thread shortly.

@Cruz86 I ordered some FRER from Amazon but they haven't arrived yet! I am keeping a close eye on my front window as I am desperate to test though I have had no symptoms whatsoever and we actually only managed once over my ovulation period this month so I am far from hopeful!

Shortmamashortcycles · 25/10/2021 14:03

@Cruz86, thanks for checking in! No spotting or anything here, but I think that's probably just a sign I ovulated later than usual vs pregnancy signs. If no AF by tomorrow morning, I'll do a test to put me out of this limbo...

So pleased you're moving over to the pregnancy forum! I hope the next 8 months are super smooth sailing ⛡⛡⛡❀❀❀

Effram · 25/10/2021 14:53

Also come to say thank you so much for this thread that was so lucky for some of us, and big love to those for whom it wasn't the lucky month, here's to November! especially @Danani for starting it and being such a big cheerleader.

Hopefully we will be reunited in July due date though...

i123i · 25/10/2021 14:59

Amen to all the above!! ❀️
Wishing you all the best of luck, whether you’re moving into the Due July thread or the November thread. Such a lovely group!

Bubblyunicorn · 25/10/2021 15:07

@Cruz86 erm around CD8 cos I'm not sure when I'll ovulate as no idea when af will be πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€£ so wanted to cover all bases xx

apwilso · 25/10/2021 15:57

Has anyone experienced watery sticky cm after ovulation?

ViL89 · 25/10/2021 21:05

@purpleskyssssss were the same I'm also due on this weekend and 8DPO !!

Also on the November thread so see you there xx

purpleskyssssss · 26/10/2021 06:29

@ViL89 Yay I have a cycle buddy! Fingers crossed we don't need that November bus after all! πŸ˜‰

Elsols93 · 26/10/2021 06:40

@apwilso yes I did then had my BFP❀️

Shortmamashortcycles · 26/10/2021 06:52

Just tested as I'm officially late but BFN - as expected as I think I ovulated late and missed the DTD window. Officially moving on to the Nov thread, but will check back here for those testing later this week!

i123i · 26/10/2021 07:28

Sorry to hear that @Shortmamashortcycles. Best of luck for November! 🌟
