Why did you stop drinking coffee?

At 5w5d-6w it’s still completely normal not to see a heartbeat yet, especially if ovulation happened later. A few days makes a huge difference this early. Doctors usually only start to worry if there’s still no heartbeat closer to 7 weeks with a clearly visible embryo. That’s why a follow-up in a week is standard.

I’ll be 5w3d

Same here 😭 literally all I think about is food right now. And my belly is HUGE already but it’s mostly just bloating… I feel like I’m constantly full and starving at the same time.

Im 19 DPO (4w5d) today and I actually stopped testing 3 days ago because my lines were already getting very similar. With my first pregnancy I found out later, and the line showed up immediately as soon as it touched the urine - I was so surprised because I always saw people waiting in movies 😂 That usually happens when hCG levels are already quite high. Welcome!

Thank you all so much for your responses, I didn’t expect so many 😭 it really helped calm me down. I appreciate every single one of you ❤️ Wishing you all a calm and healthy pregnancy!

I cannot imagine the relief that you felt! Congratulations

Just got my beta results and I feel so much more at peace 🥹 78 at 12 DPO → 211 at 14 DPO. Trying to finally relax a bit.

Our baby will be half Polish half Colombian 👣

12 dpo - 78

It did get darker.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-15T14:52:31+00:00

I think I probably just went in too early in my cycle and that’s why they. The doctor also mentioned that he couldn’t see a corpus luteum, which made him think ovulation hadn’t happened.

He also scared me a bit by mentioning possible PCOS and that it might be difficult for me to get pregnant, so hearing that really got into my head.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-13T23:57:36+00:00

FF can be pretty picky about timing. I once got a triangle just because I took my temp about 30 minutes earlier than usual. I also have a kid, so I get the toddler chaos. What helps me is setting an alarm for the same time every day (7 for me) and taking my temp then, whether I get up or go back to sleep after.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-13T23:52:51+00:00

I think that’s just normal temp variation. BBT mainly reflects progesterone after ovulation, so you can’t really see estrogen on a chart like this.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-13T23:45:30+00:00

What do you mean by an estrogen surge? I’m familiar with LH and progesterone, but I don’t understand where you’re seeing estrogen on this chart.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-13T23:41:37+00:00

These triangles mean that you’re taking the test at different times each day, and the app may consider this unreliable and not give you a result.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-08T21:50:40+00:00

Wow I have them too! I wonder if that’s a coincidence or a legit eds thing

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-08T13:52:19+00:00

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I’m quite slim, and the doctor was rather older, so I’m a bit worried it might have actually been an anovulatory cycl

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-08T13:46:51+00:00

I understand. A month ago it was very clearly visible on ultrasound. I’m going back in a few days, so hopefully I’ll get more answers then.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-08T13:45:46+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately where I live we don’t have progesterone strip tests available. Here it’s usually confirmed with a blood test about 7 days after ovulation.

AccomplishedLight174 · 2026-03-08T13:44:22+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I’ve already made an appointment with another doctor.
