I am 5DPO today. First proper cycle of trying to conceive.

I know we’re not likely to feel any symptoms yet, but id anyone else hyper focused on every twinge or movement? I swear I woke up in the night with really sore b0.obs but now they don’t feel too bad - last night they were super veiny and looked diff.
I’m presuming this is just post-ovulation symptoms.

I don’t want to overthink and get myself stressed but so hoping something is going on. I hope i’ll know more in a few days.. and I know how rare/lucky it is to catch first time.

Just wanted to open up a thread for us all waiting! :) xx

Oh wow can def see something there! If you have enough cheapies i’d be doing a test before bed, then each morn ha! If you dont have many do a test every few days. I have some weird tummy pressure today hut unsure if its diet related as we had a big dinner yest. Bo.obs still ache! Which is weird for day 5. Trying not to get too anxious about it and relax a bit more. Going to try and wait for 10dpo but probly gunna test day8! Xx

Are your dreams about pregnancy or just generally vivid? Xx

I have around 15 left so will absolutely be doing one tonight lol! Just vivid in general and I remember them the next morning x

10dpo today. My temp dropped yesterday morning but has risen again slightly this morning so not sure. I had so much cramping 2 days ago which I’m hoping was implantation. Figured if I test tomorrow, if the cramping was implantation there should hopefully be enough hcg to detect. If it’s negative then I’m probably out.

this is my 1st cycle of letrozole. Confirmed ovulation from a blood test.

This is exciting! Fingers crossed the cramping is implantation!! I believe it can occur from 6 days? But generally 8-10? Im so new to this ive no idea!! Xx

heartheart89 · 05/09/2024 14:43

It's much clearer in person too. Popped right up. I might take a digital in the morning before I tell my husband. It's baby number 3 and wasn't exactly planned 🙈

Suzie2287 · 05/09/2024 15:19

I stupid took a test when I got home from work and it’s negative of course. I’m trying to tell myself it’s because my wee was too diluted. Why do I do it to myself.

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 05/09/2024 15:35

11DPO for me. I did have some nausea and achy boobs, and for the last few days I've had a constant ache in my left side and lower left side of my back, but a test this morning however was stark negative so I reckon I'm out again this month. Plus last night I had really painful cramping right in the centre of my uterus which makes me think my period is on its way. The last time I was Pregnant and before I had even got a positive test I was fatigued constantly, completely went of chocolate and my boobs felt heavy and also a lot more painful than they do at the moment. However last time was the time I wasn't expecting anything to happen and so didn't drive myself insane testing before a missed period. I was saying to my OH why can't we just get a text after DTD that either says Y or N or our little finger nail turns orange or something instead of making us suffer and symptom spot for 2 weeks!!

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 05/09/2024 15:37

I can't even say vivid dreams would be a sign for me. Nearly all of my dreams are vivid or crazy

It’s SO easy!! We do it because we want it that bad.
try and distract yourself. I know its hard but try leaving it a few days as you may be feeling anxious over a super early BFP, too early to show. Keeping fingers crossed for you xxx

Pahaha little finger nail cracked me up!!
I am sorry :( it feels so disheartening! But hopefully you get a bfp next month. When you said you were sore… was it like excruciating? Mine just dont feel comfy to lie on and if i lift them up it aches but i wouldn’t say its horrendous… xx

@JW24M they were immensely painful and at times made me feel sick from the pain. Nothing like my pre period boobs at all. For some reason the cold made the pain even worse. We'd gone for a walk whilst away on holiday and stopped off at a farm shop that had a cafe, for a cuppa. The air con inside was enough to trigger it off and I ended up having to sit there discreetly trying to jam the hot cup against them. At that point I still had no idea I was Pregnant because my period was sometimes a week late. It wasn't until the last day of the holiday and my hot chocolate in cafe nero tasted like it had gone off. Which it definitely hadn't cos my Sister tasted it and said it was fine, that I put 2 & 2 together and went and got a couple of tests. Sadly that Pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 9 weeks. The annoying thing is I don't really note down any symptoms so I don't really know what's normal and what's not normal

Bless your heart I am so sorry to hear that.
thanks for sharing with me.
I’m definitely nowhere near that level of pain. Had more twingy feelings tonight. I don’t think they can still be ovulation pains at 5dpo. No idea. Xxx

Hey! Can I join? I am 8DPO, but struggling with such severe cramps today. I had a crazy dream last night, and had horrific hot sweats and woke up soaked. I had strong cramps 6dpo lunch and on the way home from work and minimal yesterday. I have had sore boobs, but not the worst I’ve ever felt, and a few headaches.

@heartheart89 congrats on your BFP!

Thank you! I hope to, I am too scared to test. My fertility background is a bit nuts, I usually test from as early as possible… however I am quite content being in this “could I?!” bubble 😂.

I just hope the feeling and the hope is not in vain ❤️‍🩹

Bless your heart. This is our first cycle trying, I feel like I could be, but I’m trying so hard not to obsess as I feel things deeply and am worried about ruining next months chances if i’m not through stress. Xxx

For some, it’s a journey… that’s for sure! Others, not so much. You can’t be sure of your destiny just yet. I am hopeful for you that it happens sooner rather than later 🤞🏼🤍
