Thought I'd start a new thread for us all. Will tag as many people as I can but apologies if I have missed anyone

Sorry that posted too early! Getting new tests at lunch. Will be 5+ hour hold and I'm at least 5 days late today based on 31 day cycle like last month so hoping will be strong enough to register.

Sorry 4 days late

@Nichelette Best of luck!! Hope it’s your BFP!! X

Got everything crossed for you @Nichelette

Thanks both 😊

@Nichelette it definitely would be. I did mine on only a couple hours hold on day AF was due in the middle of the afternoon. Also with first was similar at 11dpo as did it at lunchtime

@EdinburghGirl1 ah that's good! Holding not fun but I can go to local shops at 12 so not long now.

Luckiest thread ever! Still can't believe it even though I was fairly certain. Need to let it settle in now!

Omg yaaaay! Massive congrats, so pleased for you!

How many DPO are you? I've lost track of people as this thread is so lucky!

Congratulations @Nichelette 🤍

Brilliant, congratulations @Nichelette 🎉

@Nichelette yay congratulations must feel so nice to see that in writing properly. I have no idea how many bfp we've had now

@wellhelloitsme @Glawen thank you!

I know it's crazy! I wasn't using OPK's this month (was planning to start next month) so I'm guessing but from CM I think I ovulated on CD 18 or 19 and am CD35 today so I think 16 or 17 DPO? Test resulted quite quickly. I hope it sticks but I just can't believe it. I'm 36 and with DS being 13 cycles I was genuinely worried it would never happen. This was only cycle 3. Bet I missed ovulation before because I was just using apps with my data which were showing old 28 day cycle.

My symptoms have been so similar to AF I was absolutely convinced I was out on Friday. In the end the thing that started to make me wonder was food tasting wrong because that happened before, and that was followed by sore boobs which I also had before.

@hipposinacircle @EdinburghGirl1 thank you! I'd love to know the actual number. Guessing but I feel like maybe 20 or so now? My birthday is 7th and due date is 11th so hopefully we don't end up with the same birthday 😂

@Nichelette I just had a scroll back and think it's about 15/16 which is crazy. Going to be lots of May babies.

Seems like you were so similar to me thinking you were out. Also cycle 3 for me.

So happy for everyone with BFPs

@Nichelette ooh you could do. My due date is 10th May so right before you. Daughter is 31st May so clearly like to produce May babies 😂

@EdinburghGirl1 that is a lot! I'm sure there will be more too with late May due dates. We were definitely very similar. I was so absolutely convinced AF was coming.

Birthday baby would be nice but don't fancy labour as a birthday event and I think would be nice if baby has it's own special day. DS is 7th April so another 7th would also be odd 😂

@Nichelette Huge congratulations!! You did so well holding out testing for so long! X

@Nichelette Ahhh congratulations!!! It was my first month with the fertility monitor, it was a bit confusing to set up. At least you don't have to go through it now! I've said it so many times, but still can't believe how lucky this thread is!! x

@EdinburghGirl1 I'm 12DPO today, I feel silly but caved on a FRER and CB but both stark white... Going to retest with FMU and hope it wasn't a faulty test. Just can't stop thinking what a strange coincidence it'd be with the big temp rise this morning!

@wellhelloitsme your symptoms sound promising!! I tested BFN on 11DPO and BFP on 12DPO — but FRER tests have been BFN since (waiting until tomorrow's FMU to retest) so I'm not sure on the accuracy... I wouldn't have tested today had it not been for the big temp rise this morning.

@pixiecircle

Just got a BFN (11DPO) on a clear blue digital but going to try another first thing tomorrow (12DPO) with FMU.

Shouldn't have done the one just now, feeling very blue.

Wishing us both the best for tomorrow's tests

@Nichelette congratulations! 🎉

@pixiecircleI've had false positives on easy@home and one step strip tests. I hate the things now

Thanks everyone, and good luck to those of you in TWW!

This thread is crazyy! Congratulations @Nichelette amazing news!

@pixiecircle 🤞🤞🤞🤞 that was definitely a line but think you do need a longer hold to retest! Hope you have a lovely result tomorrow

I'll be 10 to 11 dpo tomorrow I need some of this good luck!

Thanks @Nypie . Hopefully you're next 🤞🏻
