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

Hey!

Sorry to hear AF turned up early 😔. I was really down and sad yesterday when it arrived for me, despite being my first cycle trying. Feel like it’s kinda made me question if this is gonna be a smooth sailing journey, even though it’s still so early!! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you (and me) for next cycle!

I have tracked BBT as BC since November last year, if you want any app recommendations for it let me know! Premom doesn’t look at BBT as such to confirm ovulation only goes off of LH from what I can tell.

New cycle, New hope 😊 keep your chin up and try be positive! Xxx

Aww thank you. That’s really kind. Your message made me smile!
I feel the same regarding it potentially not being smooth sailing - Feel quite naïve that it would just happen for us first month but if this app had taught me anything in the last few weeks it’s that you should expect the unexpected and there are soooo many factors going into that small window we have!

hopefully next month is our month! Keep me updated ❤️ Xx

i’m out too 😕☹️ feeling so sad but nothing I can do, onwards and upwards AF is coming back and it’s 4 days earlier than expected so that’s fun. Going to try and figure out my cycle after, get the bbt thermometer and try next cycle.
sending love to you all and hoping anyone not yet ‘out’ gets those magical two lines when they test xx

Ah no, sorry JE24M, we are all together on this so forwards we go x

Makes me laugh that in school you basically get told have unprotected sex and you will end up with a baby...

Ladies i’m so confused. I remembered taking a photo of DC on Tues as it was v pink when wiping, about a teaspoon worth but quite jelly like/shiny and I thought hmm maybe that's implantation… then i’ve had brown DC since, even a tiny bit today. Not due on until Saturday. So I genuinely have thought it must be AF coming early. But what’s making me wonder is why would it have been soft pink then go to brown. Surely if it was AF prep it would be brown until it goes red? I dont really want to keep wasting tests but if it POSSIBLY WAS implantation tues…. Hcg probly wont be enough until sat anyways? Could I possibly have leftover lining its getting rid of? Or fo you think i’m ok,

If I have no AF til sat and then beyond lord knows i’m going to drive myself mad. Soz about me!! Xx

Yep, complete load of rubbish although I guess we are all more fertile in our late teens/early twenties! The Lord works in incredibly and annoyingly mysterious ways!!

Yeah it messes with your mind. Your not out until your out. Sounds like your still in the game!

I feel me tally drained by it! And so dopey of not remembering the photo I took. just the pink > brown makes no sense to me ive never had that before. I’m still wiping brown today but not enough to hit the pad. Surely I wouldn’t still be brown 2 days later. I’m just soooooo confused!! Why can’t we just have a little at home finger prick yes you’re pregnant no you aren’t rather than tests that aren’t accurate with evap lines 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ hmmmm just waiting for AF cramps but nothing yet!

Aw well fingers crossed for you then!! Have to keep us updated! 😊 I think implantation bleeding can last for 2 days!! Xx

I am so silly for forgetting - I was just so focussed on the brown and thinking this must be AF. I am going to be quiet until Sat now 🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♀️❤️

@JW24M when did you last test? Brown sounds very encouraging, as it's old blood...

Yesterday. V white Negative, however a very faint line a few hours later which I think is an EVAP on two of the same brand of cheapies. I think its better to wait to test on Saturday now as that’s when i’m due. Or wait til Sun. Might even splurge to get a FRER 🤣🤣🤣 xx

Noooo test on a cheapie tomorrow! A lot can change in 48hours. Il be stopping my progesterone Monday if still BFN. So AF should be here Tuesday or Wednesday

curliegirlie · 12/09/2024 22:00

Definitely do a cheapo tomorrow! My cheapo today was sadly but unsurprisingly snowy white, so I'm invested in you guys who sound more promising!

JW24M · 12/09/2024 22:07

I’ll do one just for you guys 🤣🤣 I have no clue - the brown is going, so it may be a quiet day tomorrow then AF Hell break loose sat. I have a really weird tummy sensation this eve, it’s like I have a metal golf ball rolling around as weird as that sounds. I’ve tried ignoring it thinking i’m symptom spotting but unsure what that is. I’ll pop a message here tomorrow but i’m fully expecting another negative. Hope you all have a nice sleep - sorry to hear about the white @curliegirlie :(!!
hope some baby dust comes your way @SaltedPotato !! xx

BFN this morning

JW24M · 13/09/2024 07:44

Morning ladies - absolutely no chance of a BFP as AF turned up this morning and she’s kicking my bu’tt already! Really sad, but at least I know now!!

@JW24M @SaltedPotato sorry to hear that. I'm still BFN too so just waiting for AF later today or tomorrow now. It feels like I've got properly out of time now. Next cycle would be my last to have a baby before turning 43....

I'm actually ok. I've got two daughter already. Maybe a third child is just being greedy. Damn that bloody surprise pregnancy two and a half years ago that set me off on this .....

SaltedPotato · 13/09/2024 11:49

@curliegirlie it's so hard. I was happy with my DS until my DH said he didn't want more ever. We're only trying until January.
