5dpo today!

[Hannah4850]

Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

Just got 2 from the shop was going to wait till tomorrow to do one
Only managed to wait 2 hours and did some more strips...it's darker already!!!

@Hannah4850 progression already! 😍

@Hannah4850 that is so exciting!! I did a digital clear blue one with the words and it came up not pregnant but I’m not sure if I tested too early or if this just wasn’t my cycle! My belly is so bloated though and I’ve had cramps all day! Excuse the picture but this is my belly right now!

forgot to add the picture 🤣🤣 Scuse the dog hair!!

Ino babe I've had butterflies since this morning but after 7 miscarriages I'm trying to keep calm!😅💖

The digi ones are way less sensitive so I find if I get a cheapie with a line you can see without changing lights or faffing like we do then it will show on a digi
So when it's a squinter or faint I don't bother, hoping to get a digi pos tomorrow though 🤞🏻🤞🏻💖

Morning ladies, how are you all this morning? @Hannah4850 @chamena are you going to be re-testing today? @JM1997 how are you doing lovely?

I’ve got really bad cramps today, but they don’t feel like period cramps. They are deeper, if that makes sense!

morning @GSD2024 are you still going to hold off on the testing? I have some light cramping too but as you say, it's not like period cramps, it feels further inside and lower too.

I'm waiting for more tests to arrive this morning, had a negative first response again (I swear they are less sensitive than they used to be). I also did a Digital and that came up with this:

Oh wow @chamena a huge congratulations lovely 🥰🥰 what a lovely post for first thing in the morning 💜 how are you feeling?

I may stop on the way home and get one, I don’t know. How many DPO are you? X

Morning!
I will be retesting today, spent the majority of the night in alder hey with my little girl she had an accident playing so I'm beyond exhausted lol
How are you?? I know what you mean with the cramps and that's a good sign I had that too hopefully it's good for both of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻💖

Wow that's amazing so happy for you!!
Yeah I thought the same with the FRER I had full white negative yesterday but lines on the other tests that are less sensitive 🤔
How are you feeling today?? So glad you've got your Bfp!💖

Thank you 🥰 I’m 10dpo according to my app. I am feeling cautiously happy, and very shocked. I had an unusual cycle where I ovulated 4 days earlier than normal and it was only because of that that we could time anything at all because my DH was away with work for what would’ve been my normal fertile window. We also only managed to dtd once anyway, right after I had my peak OPK static smiley. So I wasn’t expecting this to be our month. I’ve also had almost no symptoms, maybe that was my symptom in a way, none of my usual pre menstrual signs.

anyway, that’s a long answer!

hope you can get a test if you do want to check later. I’m going to do a few cheapies later to see if I can see any progression. The negative frer is still niggling me that perhaps this will be a chemical.

@Hannah4850 thats really interesting you had negative frers too. I swear it used to be the case that an frer would show up days before any shadow on a cheapie but that doesn’t seem to be true anymore. They must’ve changed them?!

what are your testing plans today? How are you feeling?

@GSD2024 morning lovely I had those cramps last night too and this morning around my boobs look darker and have really weird bumps around them. But who knows, im not getting my hopes up, I am still bloated but weirdly I am enjoying being bloated as it feels like I have a pregnant bump if you know what I mean. I was also so hot last night and woke up in the night for a wee which I never do! How is everyone else??

@chamena that is amazing!! Congratulations lovely 🩷🩷

@Hannah4850 good luck!! Let us know if you test again, maybe this group is lucky who knows!!

@JM1997 thank you lovely. Are you testing today?

@chamena you are more than welcome I don’t think I could test again today with having got a very clear not pregnant on my digi yesterday, so not sure I can go through it again. I think I am going to wait until I go to the doctors tomorrow, and then maybe test on Friday! Part of me is like have I tested too early as I think I’ll have been like 7dpo or is it just not my cycle🤷🏻‍♀️ trying to stay positive but it is so hard!

Hi ladies, been following your thread since yesterday... many congrats to those that have got BFPs!!

I am 5DPO today and the TWW is killllling me... it's so hard not to symptom spot, going to try and force myself to wait until 8DPO to test. Interesting what you guys were saying about FRERs, I have just bought some! I also have lots of the easy@home strips - do you all find those good? I notice quite a lot of people using them....

I hope your little girl is OK @Hannah4850 x

Hi @LoulouM12 welcome! The tww is soooo hard. I got my earliest positives on the easy at homes, so I think they’re pretty good.

@Hannah4850 Hope your little one is okay and that you can rest a bit today.

Yeah I always swore by FRER but apparently not anymore!
I tested again this morning and still faint but definitely darker than yesterdays 😁

Thanks ladies my daughter is fine know I've let her have the day off school to relax a bit
Welcome @LoulouM12 have you noticed any differences this cycle??
I find the Amazon cheap tests ate always the best and first to show for me 💖

@Hannah4850 I am so glad that she is better today. A day off school will be perfect for her and then she can really get some rest in!
Your tests look exciting I might buy some even if I don’t use them this cycle I can use them next cycle!

@Hannah4850 definite lines there today! fingers crossed! So glad your daughter is OK...

No to be honest nothing hugely different this cycle except I have been exxxxxxhhhhhausted, but that might have something to do with having run a 10k race on Sat and coming off having my daughter home with chicken pox for the week... Keeping trying to imagine my boobs are feeling tender/heavier as that was my main glaring symptom with my daughter...

Those who are testing positive - anything different you've felt this cycle? Silly to compare tho isn't it as we're all so different!
