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

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 .....

Not greedy at all. Although saying that - i’d be happy with just one if I can 🤣🤣🩷

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!!
xx

Awww no way!! 😔😔 such a rollercoaster of emotions that two week wait! It’s so draining symptom spotting, hoping, being optimistic and wondering and then the upset as AF arrives. The only positive is, once she’s here we get a chance to try again 😊

Next cycle I think I’m going to do my best to only test once AF is late!!

Baby dust to all on this thread who are going into their next cycle without a BFP, really hope next month we can get some BFP’s ❤️

Thank you lovely lady - that cheered me up! I do feel grateful i’ve had AF when (ish) expected - a day earlier! But this is my new cycle now so at least we can BD more frequently and hope something happens by next month! Sending love Xxx

We should all join a similar thread next month so we can keep in touch, be nice to chat to the same people again as all our cycles are quite close together xxx

10dpo today… what do we think? I had cramping and spotting 2 days ago that turned into mild pink discharge and stopped. And my temp has shot up this morning. I don’t want to get my hopes up too much but hubby says he can see it

@MrsKurz I can see it! Looks good for 10dpo. Have my fingers crossed it's a sticky bean xx

12dpo and BFN for me. Will give it till tomorrow AM then will stop the progesterone as I think that's what's keeping AF away now. I should have my BFP by now if it was coming. Roll on cycle 2!

I’m second guessing it so much because it’s so faint 😂 my brain is like “nahhhh it’s grey”. Even though the other test from this pack was completely negative yesterday…

I’ll test again this afternoon when we’re home and again the next 2 mornings I think. I’ll believe it when it’s a bit darker 🙈🙈

curliegirlie · 14/09/2024 10:22

Ooooh a tentative congratulations for @MrsKurz! 10dpo lines always make you second guess yourself on anything but FRERs.

I've feeling very mixed up at the moment. I've just bought Oasis tickets but more than anything it just feels like confirmation that #3 won't happen. I feel broken, as I know I'm pretty much at the end of the road. Sorry for being a downer....

There is something there! But as a gal who got stung by evap lines last month and has really struggled with AF coming, i’d say try and keep calm as best you can about it and re-test in 2 days. I really really hope it’s a BFP for you xxx

Ow :(!! We got tickets in the first ballot and my partner wanted to go to glasto again (i’ve never been) so I feel like it being a BFN this month was meant to be for him… but still sucks. It all works in mysterious ways though so try not to loose hope. Whilst I don’t always believe in manifestation I do believe the universe looks out for us so try and visualise it happening.

Yeah I’m definitely going to retest in the next days (I won’t be able to wait 2 days I know 😂). I’m feeling tentatively hopeful as I have some other signs as well as the line, but definitely not getting my hopes fully up yet

I can also see it !! 😍
I'm 11 days dpo today. BFN- for me. I feel discouraged . I just thought it would be easier . Oh well ☹️ I just keep comparing to how I felt when I was pregnant with my DD.

Everything happens for a reason .
We will get there 🙌

SaltedPotato · 14/09/2024 19:45

Guys I think I've got a line at 12dpo what the actual?! Only cheapies in the house. This morning was absolutely stark white. In fact I've kept it to compare and this one even DH can see something. I literally didn't take my progesterone this morning as I thought i was out

SunshineMine · 14/09/2024 22:17

Congratulations @SaltedPotato! So exciting 🎉

Let me tell you girls, you're not out till you're out. I was having BFN all the way up until 13dpo, tested at 15dpo because AF didn't show and this is what I got! Was convinced I was out, same thing happened with my first. Sending baby dust to you all 🥰

Two week wait ladies, you there?

Congratulation @SaltedPotato and @MrsKurz !

I'm 12dpo , I took a test this morning and it was negative. My AF is due in 4 days 🙃

This might be a chemical as it's fainter this morning. Not surprised, I was expecting more from a 12dpo test. It is what it is.

@MrsKurz no denying that!!

curliegirlie · 15/09/2024 10:56

@SaltedPotato I'm sorry, that's rubbish. I have to say I did wonder when you said it only appeared at 12dpo...CPs are horrible for the false hope they give.

"Whilst I don’t always believe in manifestation I do believe the universe looks out for us so try and visualise it happening"

With kindness, I've been in this game for 33 cycles now. 33! I can assure you it has absolutely nothing to do with manifestation. There have been cycles when I've felt positive as I've known we managed to time things well (and it's got to be our turn some time, right?) and it's made absolutely no difference. I've even bloody bought a couple of really cute bits (again on the basis of surely it all has to come together eventually) but all that's done is cause me heartbreak every time I spot them in the loft.

It's just random. Some people have the luck of falling quickly, others take their sweet time (like with my DDs), and occasionally you just have to accept that it won't actually happen no matter how much you try and want it.

Ahh rubbish I hope not. There’s a chance your urine just wasn’t as concentrated?
