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

@JW24M Sorry, now read the complete thread and see you think it might be an EVAP. Quite likely for where you are in your cycle unfortunately. Nonetheless, you will hopefully get a full confirmed one very soon. I have had a couple of shocking EVAPs in the past, particularly on FRER!

LetstalkaboutBruno · 06/09/2024 21:39

@Carportforme same! FRER’s are/can be the worst for evaps. I am loyal Easy at Home User. I rarely have any issues with those. With 3 out of my 4 losses, I found that they picked up on the pregnancy and progressed whereas a FRER didn’t. I always find E@H give clear negatives too. This was my test earlier on today (exposure up, I had a badddd headache, so my eyes weren’t on their best form and I find this helps).

Yes, @JW24M this is my first cycle trying for my second, what about you?

With my first I tested at 10dpo and it was negative so I had a few G&Ts with hubby to commiserate... a few days later AF didn't show up and I realised I was pregnant 🙈🙈 trying to avoid that this time!!

First cycle, first try! Thats why i’m trying to be optimistic but also very realistic!!

bless you! Haha. I don’t drink so there’s that… also trying to improve diet! Xxx

I’m getting more and more fed up. 12dpo and I’ve taken a cheapie test and there is some sort of squinter line but I’m guessing by now if it was going to be positive it would be clearer than what I’ve got. I have ovulation confirmed by a blood test so I know when I ovulated. I just feel so different and I’m hoping the squinter line isn’t just an indent. My temperatures are just about staying above cover line but I’m not paying too much attention to those as it’s just from my Apple Watch and I have such restless broken sleep they aren’t they accurate and very erratic.

no sign of AF yet though despite sore boobs and on and off cramps and I am VERY emotional but surely if I was pregnant it would be showing by now, even on the cheap tests. I don’t want to waste my money on an expensive test until I’m late for my period which I suppose will be a couple of days.

i have posted todays test with FMU - don’t know what others think? There’s some sort of line, but probably an indent.

I feel like I have good squinter eyes - and there is the faintest mark.. try on 14 and if still nothing then you have tested as much as you can to know either way.

I’m 7dpo today and had period like cramps this morning but they didn’t feel anywhere near as strong as actual period pains. I’m not due on for a while so unsure if implantation or not. Trying not to overthink it and obsess over it xx

Ahh I do hope we get some confirmed positives on here soon. I still have sore nipples and am exhausted but I don’t think my boobs are quite as painful. Temperature still up but it will drop sharply and suddenly if AF is coming so I dread taking it every morning! Think I will try and wait another few days and test again if AF doesn’t show but I am betting it will ):

Ah bless you. I don't really track my temp but next cycle if no luck I will.
I really hope we have some luck too 🍀 ❤️❤️ xx

10DPO today! Did my first test this morning which was negative, thought I had some twinges/cramping yesterday but not sure if it was too low down! Other than that absolutely 0 symptoms. Trying to remain positive but also realistic as only cycle 1 of ttc 😊. Will test again probably 12DPO, but who knows if I can’t control myself I may also test again tomorrow morning 🙃

Good luck to anyone testing in the next few days, hope you get your positive result 😊

I tested again today at 12 doo but still negative. I am a bit of a "dodgy tummy" too, which is often a sign for me that AF is coming :(

@Suzie2287 i feel your frustrations 😩. I see the line you’re referring to. I have seen lots of ladies get their positives from 14dpo onwards and they’re vfl’s. I hope that the line is stronger tomorrow/monday 🤞🏼✨

This is the slowest tww ever! Currently 5dpo and usually get a positive 10dpo... I'm only halfway!!!
AF is due at 8dpo though so hopefully the progesterone I've been taking since 2dpo is doing it's thing and gives implantation a chance.
