Two week wait ladies, you there?

[JW24M]

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

CD1 for me…. Let’s go, round 2 of letrozole. I’m upset, but not surprised. I’m sure my brain makes up symptoms in the 2ww. I must remember next month that they mean nothing.

good luck to everyone else who is waiting for their BFP xx

Oh, I’m sorry. Being upset is justified, but I love your optimism. May cycle #2 on Letrozole be the one for you 🤞🏼✨

My temp is still, up although slightly dipped.

I am so confused about my DPO, I was informed to use FAM setting on FF. However, it seems that the setting which would be best for me would be the advanced as I don’t have a regular cycle. So, I am now back to 11DPO, and not 8DPO.

I tested this am, saw a shadow instantly. It was so hard to capture on camera due to low natural light and then when I put the lamp on it blew it out.

I had the most painful gas last night, felt like it was shredding my pelvis apart. Still going on this morning. I also, oddly, woke up and had little to no CM. That’s new!

I would love to get into bed just do not a lot today 😩

Sorry, image is edited as I wanted to draw out what I could from what I could see. The other pic is the test way out of timeframe. I can still see it.

Thank you!! 🙏 good luck to you too! Hope this is the cycle for you ✨

Really hoping for you xx

Aww how lush!! I’m convinced now this isn’t the month for me. BBT is normal and i’m sure at 8dpo it should be high :( xxx

I can sort of see the faintest line on one of those. You’re right though the camera settings and then putting them on here does all sorts!
keeping everything crossed for you. Xxxx

Ps - when I said this is lush, I meant reading your message and noticing how optimistic you are. I’m only on cycle 1 now and feel so sad already that this isnt our month. Xxx

Ladies - as a first cycler… what should I expect at 8dpo? I feel like I should have some form of temp or ride in lh? I have neither :( xx

Aw thanks, I have to feel optimistic or I would get really depressed about the whole thing. After 6 on and off years trying (secondary infertility), our son is now 7 and this 6 rounds of Letrozole is our last chance now - we don’t want much more of an age gap now and I’m done with the emotional toll it’s taken on me. If I don’t have hope, I have nothing 😂 as dramatic as that sounds!

@JW24M tbh nothing. Occasionally pregnancy charts are triphasal - so you may see another sustained temp rise - but that doesn't happen with all pregnancies. HCG also wouldn't be picked up yet by a LH test. When I had a CP back last November my LH tests were still absolutely blank/squinters at 9dpo. They looked darker by 12DPO and CD1, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything either, as I've noticed in subsequent cycles a bit of a LH surge from my baseline at the very last days in my cycle. When pregnant with DD2 I got my proper positive LH test at 19dpo.

@LetstalkaboutBruno not sure I can see anything on those yet. Recently I found with ICs my eyes are always drawn to the indent which is really frustrating.

On FF I'm on advanced - which has been great at predicting AF day. I reckon that's the best day to go.

Even if you are 11dpo ICs can be super squinters at that stage. I wouldn't expect anything on 9dpo. Fingers crossed for the next couple of days!

No that’s absolutely valid. I imagine it is very very hard as you’re thinking not only of what you want for you & your partner (where I am at) but for their sibling too. Sending you a huge amount of love xx

Thank you. This is very re-assuring. I’m awfully gassy today feeling a bit sicky with bloat but that could just be the dominos we had last night 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️ xxx

I have found checking my cervix a good indicator. Also around 8dpo I usually get a bit of a sneezy congested feeling in my nose. Wind too. I've been pregnant 5 times so far so Im used to it lol

We're only trying for our second until January then we are calling it a day and DH is getting the snip. TTC DS took over our lives and we don't want that. We know we are extremely fortunate to have our son.

Oooo fair!! I am v burpy today and I never really burp! Still think its the pizza haha xx

That is completely fair. I hope it happens for you xx

I start poas from 7dpo usually so that's tomorrow. Will keep you posted.

Took my digital today. Good luck to you ladies xx

Amazing! Congratulations

Congratulations!!!! Amazing news xx

Thank you all! Hoping to see all your positives soon! X

I’m with you re the symptoms. I had symptoms this month that I don’t usually get in the TWW but all over for me now I think. Cramping started and massive temp drop today! :(
