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 think I can see something on the clear blue, but not sure on the cheapies!! Oooo fingers crossed for you! Let’s hope you get a BFP in a few days 🥰 I think by 10-12 DPO people have more pronounced lines that aren’t squinters!

The clear blue is an evap.. this eve its the brightest blue but thinnest line. The cheapie done latest is more pronounced but i’m going to test one cheapie in the morn then a frer tues (unless cheapie shows something proper tomorrow). Trying really hard not to get hopes up so the disappointment isn’t as bad but it’s hard!! xxx

Ohhh, very annoying about the clear blue. Fingers crossed the cheapies are reliable 🤞

My test this afternoon confirmed I ovulated 🥹 I’m so relieved! Feel abit silly about how upset and worried I was earlier this month actually but phew, so glad I’ve had the confirmation!

Hi , is this something or does the dip mean that I’m out of my TWW?

@Liyoness93 I am useless at these charts so won’t even try to interpret - @curliegirlie and @KT199 are good eggs and may know more? Xx

Hey, no it doesn’t meant your out of the TWW at all, the only way to know your out this cycle for sure if when AF arrives!

I can’t see very clearly on the actual photo but can defo see something on the filtered ones. I think indents are typically colourless.. the only way you will know for sure would be to wait a day or two and see tomorrows test! I don’t envy the waiting!

Oooh @JW24M those E@H and FRERs don't look like indents 😁🤞.

Whoever it was with the charting query, no I wouldn't say you're out, as that looked like a blip rather than a sustained fall which is more indicative of AFs imminent arrival. I actually had similar the month I conceived DD2 (although the temps here unlikely to be particularly accurate- I was still getting up at all hours with DD1). Good luck!

I'm around 2dpo. Managed at least a couple of decent sessions in my fertile window this time. I'm hoping that I'll have Sod's Law coming along with me, as this wouldn't be the best cycle to get a BFP (Christmas family visits, whisky festival in Jan, DD's birthday in August) but who knows. Fate/life can be a bitch. My poor best mate got an unexpected BFP last week - that she's not keeping for a number of reasons. It's all so unfair (the very last thing my friend needs along with being the very thing I've been wanting for nearly 3 years! Life can get things very wrong...)

Thank you! Will keep you all posted. Ah i’m sorry to hear about your friend. Completely their decision and obviously made with clear certainty of what they want to do. Sending love to you as i’m sure it’s tricky to hear when you’ve tried for a while, but you strike me as very supportive and understanding regardless.

I hope you get your BFP, whiskey fest or no whiskey fest!! Xx

@JW24M yeah, November's the month we conceived DD1, the due date of my MC, the month I had a CP last year, lots of reasons I was particularly hoping it would be me again this month (even though it would be almost as inconvenient as December!). I hugely feel for my friend, it's an awful situation, particularly as I think if a couple of things had been different, her plans would have been different. But she's been resolute that she can't continue, so at least, as you say, the certainty hopefully is making it a little easier for her to be at peace with her decision. It's just so frustrating that conversely when I'm in a position to welcome it, it's not happening! We have the space, finances would be tighter but more than doable, I have great pregnancies when I actually get there.....but that's life I suppose.

Hi everyone, hope I’m ok to join this thread. I’m in the 2 week wait too. Period due on in 5 days according to my app. I don’t really track using ovulation tests. I have a 27-28 day cycle. We’re on cycle 5, ttc #1. Symptoms wise, woke up with cold like symptoms, runny nose. Crampy legs which is very normal before my period, feeling bloated and exhausted. Let’s see if this is the month!

My FRER looked like that at 10DPO with FMU and I confirmed it with a CB digital that afternoon as couldn't wait, was leaving on holiday a few days later. My cheapies and the cross CB stayed sort of faint until 12DPO which surprised me as thought CB digital was less sensitive. Was nerve wracking as even with a BFP was worried about CP. However, the tests all became proper dark on day of my missed period. Fingers crossed for you that it's a BFP! I'm 6 weeks now and the stress of 2WW is replaced by stress of 12 week scan so it never really ends!

I dont want to get your Hope's up but tgst RFER looks promising to me. When they are indents they are usually faint straight grey lines but yours looks like a hpsort of cloudy haze which, in my experience with them, have been positive. Goid luck

Hey no worries. I’m still getting the hang of using mum’s net. It can be a lonely journey and 5 cycles in thought I’d see whether anyone in the same position at me x

thank you!! I did a digital as I have zero self control and i’m my own worst enemy when I start thinking about things…. (Not my special digital ha)… it was a negative, but then I did two cheapies from b&m and they looked like the attachex (top normal just flash, second with structure up a but and bottom inverted) Meh. No idea. Not testing again tonight 😂😂😂 promise i’ll stop doing all your heads in. Just guess i’m looking for re-assurance when the only thing that will get it me is waiting and seeing a clear as day test or digital. Hard when you want something so much!! xx
