I couldn't see that anyone's started a thread for September yet. Seeing as it's tomorrow thought I'd start one now. Seems AF arrived for a few of us at the same time so looks like we'll be in sync over the coming months.
How is everyone doing?

Congratulations ladies who have gotten their BFPS 🥳🥳🥳

I’m cycle day 1 today. The uncertainty has been driving me mad so I am glad I have now actually come on. Going to enjoy a few drinks tonight.

Good luck everyone ❤️

So this happened 😮 after 13/14 cycles and most recently one hycosy. I do feel sure the hycosy helped. And after I was sure AF was coming when I had cramps last Sunday! Been slightly crampy all week but I now know why! Completely over the moon, my partner and I have been beaming all day.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰So so so happy for you!! Huge congratulations!!! You have been through the wringer, so glad there is a happy ending for you!!!

Thank you. It's been a lot to process as we're away with friends this week. Its very early but I think mostly I feel relief but also sooo happy of course. I'm such a worrier but I know it's normal to feel there may be a problem if it takes you a long time especially for your first. I would recommend looking at hycosy to anyone else who struggles for over a year. 🩷

@Maomee I can’t see a pic if you meant to upload one, but sounds like congratulations are in order?! ❤️

Can I ask what DPO you were when your cramps started? I’m in middle of the TWW and this is where my symptom spotting usually starts!

I'm not actually 100% sure what DPO I was with the cramping as I didn't use OPKs last month but I was expecting my period the next day or pretty soon and my luteal phase is about 12 days so may have been about day 10/11/12 post ovulation.

HappyBlueDonkey · 31/10/2026 19:04

Congrats @Maomee

Thank you, this is useful! I’m 8 DPO today, no symptoms other than the usual bloating I get, I won’t test unless period is late (14/15 DPO)

Congratulations @StillWingingIt97 and @Maomee! Come join us on the July board when it’s sunk in.

I’ve been dipping in and out of the boards. 4+6 today so waiting until officially 5w tomorrow to ring EPU for an early reassurance scan. Feeling a bit disconnected from this pregnancy so far!

Good luck to everyone still waiting for their BFP, hope you get there soon.

I jointed this thread at the very beginning then dropped out at the beginning of October. Because it was affecting my mental health. Now I return to share this news here. After 10 cycles of trying to conceive baby No.2 and today is 14 dpo. This morning I got a faint line after I already made peace with myself for the potential of not being pregnant this cycle.

Congratulations @LucyCL !!!! That’s fantastic!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 What brilliant news!!! With you and Maomee getting pregnant this cycle it’s been a great one for us long-timers! So happy for you 🥰🥰

Congrats to everyone that’s got a positive this cycle! My body is gearing up to ovulate but once again I’m ill. It’s been a rubbish 4 weeks

That's so rubbish, but there's loads going around at the moment so can't be helped. I'm sure I'll be catching something any day now 😅
Good luck for your next cycle 🩷

congrats! it's funny how things work - we had a loss at the same time and got pregnant with our firsts at the same time...and now pregnant with our second!

GreenPickle · Yesterday 07:53

I jumped off this thread last month and took a break for my october/november cycle and had a positive today at 10dpo! had 2 days of negatives (with probably 10+ tests - i also do not recommend the cheap premom orange tests whatsoever!)

I hope everyone is doing well!

Maomee · Yesterday 08:12

Congratulations @LucyCL and @GreenPickle that's wonderful news. There seems to have been a flurry of BFPs the last month. Don't forget about the due July 2027 thread when you're ready.

Omg congratulations!! So exciting to see a fellow long timer get their BFP! Can't want to get my hycosy scheduled now haha. So happy for you how are you feeling? 💞

Thank you! I am really happy but since it's still so early and this year has been so chaotic I don't think it feels fully real yet if that makes sense. Like I know I'm pregnant but I often kind of forget 😂 also don't really have much in the way of symptoms except sore boobs on and off.
But so far, I have really enjoyed being able to browse the babywear in shops for myself rather than gifts for others!

Wishing you all the best with your hycosy. Definitely try in the same cycle if you can, and if it still doesn't happen straight away don't fret as it boosts your fertility for at least 3 cycles afterwards so I have everything crossed for you! Let us know when you're booked in etc. x

Congratulations to all the BFPs! It's lovely to see some of the longer time posters getting them.

I came off the conception threads last month because I was a bit overwhelmed by it all after getting 2 chemicals in a row. I'm 10dpo today and got a faint shadow on my easy at home so did a FRER and got a faint line. Cautiously optimistic though after getting my hopes up a few times now, I'm just desperately hoping this one sticks!
