5 DPO - who wants to join me?!

Hey!

Thought I'd make a thread for those of us at 5DPO or close, so that we can compare notes and symptoms (trying not to symptom spot) 😆


I'm currently 5DPO..

1 DPO - strong waves of stomach cramps on left side.

2 DPO - cramping again on left side and across my bikini line / pelvic bone.

3 DPO - utter exhaustion and unable to walk very far without having to sit down to regain my energy! Aches in knees and legs.

4 DPO - headache, hard and sensitive nipples and slight twinges in stomach but nothing as bad as 1 & 2 DPO.

5 DPO - nothing much to note.. nipples feel okay, no stomach pains.

Let's hope this is our month!! ✨

Hi @premum1

I’m also 5DPO on a 28/9 day cycle. I had an HSG this month so fingers crossed it helps me out 🤞🏻

I see all you are riding the progesterone wave with those symptoms - should settle down hopefully. How long is your cycle normally?

Hey I'm 7dpo AF due 30th Sept. Planning to take 1st test at 11dpo on Sunday. Ordered my FRER today.

I don't have any new symptoms that i wouldn't really notice every other cycle.

7dpo: Took an afternoon nap, which is something I don't usually do.

🙋‍♀️ 6DPO today. Have some mild backache and nipples were really sensitive after the first couple of days. How long have you been trying? This will be our 3rd month TTC.

@poptypingchef ohh similar times then! ✨💫🤞🏼

Yes I think those symptoms were perhaps linked to ovulation.. this is my first month TTC following my implant removal (which I had for 6 years) so I was so happy to see my body get back to normal and actually ovulate so soon after removal! Xx

@Flowersandfireworks ohh exciting, looks like we are at the exact same stage ☺️🤞🏼

Not noticed much today, I think today is the first possible day for implantation! Usually happens between 6-12DPO I believe so fingers crossed for us all!

@premum1 wow! That is great you are back on track so quickly 💃💃💃💃

I’ve woken up to a spike in my RHR which I’m hoping might be a good sign. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@poptypingchef yes I'm so pleased it went back to normal quickly! I had it removed on 4th August and got AF exactly 4 weeks after removal which was a happy surprise! 😌💫 been tracking ovulation with OPKS as I wasn't holding out much hope of actually ovulating this month, since I thought perhaps it's too soon post removal and my body still needed time! Although it wasn't on the typical day 14 of my cycle, I did ovulate on day 18 (checked with both strips and also CB digital ovulation checker) so I'm quietly confident that ovulation did take place!

Woooo!! 🥳

Now 6DPO today.. trying not to symptom spot but it's so hard! Xx

@Premum1 Thanks. I have a few pregnancy cheap strip tests in the house and I almost tested today at 8dpo but couldn't face the disappointment.

@Monday55 you do hear of some super lucky people getting their BFP 8-10DPO! but it does seem super early!

You could always test to see! If it's negative that doesn't mean to say you're out this month, it could just be a little early 💓

Hello! I'm currently 3DPO and have EXACTLY the same as you with your symptoms - I'm shocked, it's like I'd written in! I did have those last months but honestly I'm already in bed because of how dizzy I feel, which I didn't have last month..maybe I'm just getting to the point of being impatient I'm not symptom spotting 🙈

I'm not going to test until AF is due 5th October! 3rd month TTC for baby #1 🙊

Good luck c

Hey all, 6dpo today here. No symptoms at all. Not really hopeful for this month but who knows. Fingers crossed x

Hey all, I'm somewhere between 6dpo and 16dpo! My flo app says I should ovulate on day 28 (my cycle is ~42days 😒) but I had ovulation symptoms again much later in my cycle. Anyway, have some of the same symptoms - mild cramps and insanely sensitive and hard nipples. Fingers crossed!!!
