4/5 dpo - anyone want to symptom spot?

184 replies

Fifi1086 · 16/03/2021 20:39

So I swore that I wouldn't symptom spot this month but here I am! I'm cycle 3 and 4/5 dpo. I took soya isoflavones this month to bring O forward from day 21 of 29 day cycle. It worked and I ovulated day 15 or 16! I've never got past 9dpo before AF arriving so if I get to 10 or 11 dpo I'll test!

Anyone around same stage as me? Would be great to irrationally symptom spot with someone!

😣
Day 6 of spotting, how wonderfully confusing!
Really feel as though AF cramps and light back ache I'm so familiar with are here. 👎🏻

Dreamer30 · 19/03/2021 09:36

Girls I'm feeling the same. My cramps have subsided a little now and I just have that sinking feeling that I'm out. AF isn't due for another 6/7 days

RoseP123 · 19/03/2021 09:06

@Fifi1086 same here :( Slight aching in lower tummy. Cervix is quite hard, i've read it should be soft in early pregnancy so i'm guessing i'm out and AF is on her way.

Feeling really disappointed. It's only cycle 2 but i didn't realise how consumed i'd be by it all. Wishing my life away to the next window of opportunity!

Morning everyone!
7dpo here, no symptoms to report. Just going to impatiently await the delivery of my FRER.
Did an IC this morning... bfn obviously! 😅 feeling out this month but reminding myself I had 0 symptoms when we concieved our first 🤞 xx

firsttimemummy321 · 19/03/2021 08:35

@Fifi1086 🤞🏻 d
For you! I've had pink blood when I wiped this morning, not sure whether to be hopeful or assume af early 🙈

8dpo this morning and have my usual AF style cramps today so not feeling hopeful. FF says AF due Monday but I ovulated early and have a 9 day luteal phase

Also getting AF like cramps today so hope it's not AF coming really early....

Blossom37 · 18/03/2021 21:57

Hahaha I'm another one on the I had one FRER left was going to save it but ordered more on Prime club as I have absolutely no self control 😂

I'll only be 6DPO tomorrow but I'm sure I'll not resist and will test 😂

Janxyb · 18/03/2021 20:32

Oooo exciting! I'm a big fan of shining a torch on the back of tests 😂 but I'm also really bad at seeing lines even when everyone else says they can!
Going to try really hard to wait until 9dpo to use a FRER 😬

LKB89 · 18/03/2021 20:19

@Fifi1086 🤣🤣 we need an AA equivalent for testing!

I've got one FRER left and it's taking everything & I mean EVERYTHING not to use it! After my BFN on Wednesday I refuse to do it till after weekend!

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Dreamer30 · 18/03/2021 20:11

@Redpanda21 I definitely see something there but I've seen sometimes the FRERs come with a shadow like indent sometimes. Try waiting 2 days if you can resist! Lol @Fifi1086 Love it! I'd definitely have the torch on it too lol

@Redpanda21 I think I can see something faint?? Although I've serious line eyes after today 😂

I've attached my insane torch evap pic as evidence of how mental I've gone

4/5 dpo - anyone want to symptom spot?

Redpanda21 · 18/03/2021 19:57

I caved today, after about 5th wee of the day!Only 7DPO I think.

Swear I see something super faint but can’t really get a picture of it so probably just the indent!

Boobs are on fire, stinging cramps earlier. Who knows!

I’ll now test again tomorrow with FMU

So glad I found this thread. It's good to know we're not alone through all the poas😂

Fifi1086 · 18/03/2021 19:41

So I've just taken my third cheapie of the day. Is there any intervention for this kind of thing???

In saying that, there is the absolute faintest line when you shine a torch on it which is most certainly an evap, but didn't have that on the previous two!!

OP posts:
Dreamer30 · 18/03/2021 19:28

Haha! 😅🙈 clearly we have no self control! Lol I have one cheapie left and planned on saving it but the urge is too strong and if they arrive tomorrow, then I'll maybe resist until Sunday and be 10dpo by then.. I say maybe.. probably not! 🤣

lucea87 · 18/03/2021 19:26

Should rename this thread the 'I've bought FRER on prime today club' 😂😂

MsRT · 18/03/2021 19:24

@Dreamer30 I have no self control and have also just ordered FRERs on prime 😂

I don't have any symptoms apart from cramps! I've had them for the past 2-3 days and they don't seem to be stopping. Maybe it is AF coming but still keeping everything crossed 🤞🏻

Janxyb · 18/03/2021 19:14

I also ordered FRERs on prime today 😂 have a million cheapies but I just need them. I'm 6dpo today, got up for a wee in night (not like me), starving this morning then a churning tummy tonight. It's more than likely nothing but one can hope....

lucea87 · 18/03/2021 18:58

@Dreamer30

I may have just ordered frers with Prime 🙈 what self control!? Arriving tomorrow 🤣
That was me 2 days ago! I have 7 FRER 2 CB Digi's and a bunch of cheapies 😂

firsttimemummy321 · 18/03/2021 16:03

Ooo a bit late but can I join? 6dpo today crazy dream last night that I had loads of positive tests 🙈

Dreamer30 · 18/03/2021 15:57

@Fifi1086 I feel exactly the same, so hopeful! I only have 1 test left though and don't want to go out for more so I'll do my best to wait lol. I came off the pill in August but my cycle was all over the place until December, it's been regular since but my OD was mixed up until I put in the next couple of periods so this is really the first proper month ttc🤞

lucea87 · 18/03/2021 15:52

I think sometimes it helps to just POAS to get it out your system. You know it will be BFN but it helps. I am a horrible person again today.....!!!

Fifi1086 · 18/03/2021 15:16

Being the addict I am I tested today at 7dpo, obviously BFN! I thought it would alleviate the urge but now I just want to test every day! I am feeling really hopeful this month and I need to stop it because I'll be crushed then if AF arrives. It's only cycle 3 but it feels like forever!
