Shit mood and nausea 5DPO

I’ve been flying off the handle all day in a way which I associate with ‘being hormonal’ though AF is over a week away so this isn’t normal.

I’ve also felt travel sick today and yesterday as well as feeling a bit sicky for most of this evening.

Is 5DPO far too early for any of this to possibly be pregnancy related? Way too early to test but wondered what experiences others have had?

@PinkPlantCase how are you getting on?
I've had shortness of breath and a tingling nipple today 😂
Not getting my hopes up though!!

@PinkPlantCase the waiting is the absolute worst! Last month I was convinced we'd hit it bang on, then I had two weeks of reading so much into every single twinge. Two weeks has never felt so long... why can't holidays feel as long as the TWW? 🏖️

@jazzibelle guess I’ll find out. I was stressing a bit about work so that could always be the reason for the rage! I just really want a BFP this month. I’m so bad at the waiting.

@PurpleIsTheColour I used OPK and I had some cramps and bloating around the time the OPKs flagged it up so fairly sure I ovulated back then. I hope so anyway 😂😂 we’ve scaled back our efforts since.

6DPO today... One day closer to testing ...

@PinkPlantCase I had the exact same thing last month. I sometimes get a little ragey the day before AF, but last month I had full-on PMS a good week before -- which never happens. I wasn't PG, so must have just been pissed off 😂 It's difficult during the TWW because every twinge, every emotion, gets you thinking... could it be?

@PurpleIsTheColour thank you! You too! X

PurpleIsTheColour · 01/09/2020 19:47

@AnxiousAnnie86, I know what you mean-every month we are clinging onto any little thing that feels different and can indicate a bfp. Hope this is your month🤞🤞

AnxiousAnnie86 · 01/09/2020 19:30

@PurpleIsTheColour yeah opk and bbt! I know it isn't pregnancy related. Just something different to what I usually have, so I'm taking different as Hope! X

At 5dpo implantation wouldn’t have occurred, which means that the hormones would not have started building up hence you won’t have pregnancy associated symptoms. Only way is if you’ve ovulated earlier and you’re not 5 dpo but further along. Sometimes people get similar symptoms and they are actually associated with ovulation as they occur a few days after it. How do you know you are exactly 5dpo- did you do bbt to confirm? x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 01/09/2020 19:06

@Jadeb1995 I'm exactly the same today! 5dpo absolutely shattered and came in from work and I said to DH I feel so so travel sick!!!! X

Jadeb1995 · 31/08/2020 19:54

Haha I like your thinking there! It's so hard isn't it, you think into every single thing!!

@Jadeb1995 from what I can see online implantation wouldn’t have occurred yet so our bodies won’t know if we’re pregnant yet. But that doesn’t explain why we feel like this does it!! 😂

I keep thinking - well what if the egg just traveled down my tubes really fast. 🤷‍♀️

Following, I'm 5 DPO and keep having cramps but wonder whether I'm thinking too deep into it as it's too early
