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!

@Fifi1086 I would love to join too :) 4DPO according to FF. o have very static temps as well but had weirdly sore boobs from around ovulation tome which I never experienced before. I'm a total POAS addict too so haha milking cheapies haha so I'll probably not going to wait until sensible time to test so probably wi start from 8DPO HAHA 😆

It's so nice to be able to talk to people about it who are in the same space!! My partner has said, come to me if we need to dtd or if you're pregnant, the rest is over my head 😂😂

Mad that we're all around 6dpo lol hopefully a positive sign this month!

RoseP123 · 17/03/2021 20:59

Yes it was only 8 days after ovulation last month @lucea87 

Those sound like positive signs @Fifi1086 !!

lucea87 · 17/03/2021 20:49

@Fifi1086

So FF adjusted my O day today and now says I'm 6dpo! So many of us around that now! I went for a walk with my 11 year old earlier and I was having cramps in my lower back, then all of a sudden I got this pulling pain in my uterus that stopped me in my tracks. The cramps were then going down my legs for the rest of the walk.

I went to the bathroom when I got home and I got the smallest pink specks and one pink streak in my cm.

I am obviously overthinking but trying so hard not to symptom spot too 🙈this month does feel very different from the rest and even my chart is so different. I think even if its not my month I'll be happy that everything looks more text book!

Ooh this sound promising!!
lucea87 · 17/03/2021 20:48

@RoseP123

I'll be 7DPO tomorrow .. but my AF is due Saturday. Is there any point testing tomorrow? I know the answer is probably no but feel like it'll put my mind at rest and prepare me for AF Sunday Sad

Would anyone else test or just wait it out?

Do you have a short LP then? If af due I would test!xx

Can I please join you ladies?

I'm 6dpo and this is our first cycle TTC.

The only thing I've noticed in the past couple of days is cramps in my lower right abdomen (I'm pretty sure this is the side I ovulated too as I had painful ovulation cramps).

I'm also desperate to start testing but I know what the outcome will be for the next couple of days. When are you all going to try and hold out til?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all! X

Redpanda21 · 17/03/2021 18:25

I changed my settings in FF and it’s saying I’m 6DPO today, hoping that’s the case as then I’ve DTD over my fertile days.

My temps have been super steady past few days too.

Had a really nauseous day and had a headache all day. Still too early for any symptoms though so chalking up to my head! 😂

Dreamer30 · 17/03/2021 15:23

Anyone else have seriously bad cramp? It won't shift for me lol been in a bad mood all day 🤣 still have heavy sore boobs too. 6dpo today and I know those symptoms are too early to mean anything but AF isn't due until 26th so it's too early for those symptoms too. This is why the tww is hell! Lol

Janxyb · 17/03/2021 14:52

I use the one step cheapies too. Just had another delivery of them today 🙃 Still no symptoms here but I don't think that implantation would have even occurred yet lol x

RoseP123 · 17/03/2021 12:37

@Fifi1086 Oh fingers crossed it is a good sign! I have just ordered some tests, being optimistic but we will see!

Fifi1086 · 17/03/2021 12:27

@RoseP123 I'll test Sunday if I've no AF by then! I just had a teeny streak of blood in my cm... could be nothing but hoping it's a good sign!

RoseP123 · 17/03/2021 12:10

thanks @Fifi1086 i'll have to have a look! will you be testing this weekend? I swore I wasn't going to be like this this month, but then it gets to the TWW and I turn into a woman possessed! haha

Aw that is lovely news - congrats to your friend Smile

@RoseP123 I got the one step cheapies, they're quite sensitive at 10mlU! Hopefully all those signs are positive for you!!

I'm 5/6 dpo today and still cramping. Got amazing news this morning that my friend who has had a serious of miscarriages over the last year, is 11 weeks pregnant and all well on her first scan! So so pleased for her

RoseP123 · 17/03/2021 11:41

I wish I had bought some cheapies - does anyone recommend any? @Fifi1086 @lucea87 I have a FRER at home, but trying not to use that before Saturday. Even then I will only be 9 DPO so still early, that's if AF hasn't arrived before then.

Faint headache today, sore nipples. Don't know if i keep getting mild waves of sickness or whether i'm just imagining it - probably the latter!

lucea87 · 17/03/2021 09:30

[quote Fifi1086]@Redpanda21 welcome! You never know, it only takes one time so you could have caught it!

@lucea87 will Friday be 10dpo? I'd probably do a FRER then too if I managed to make it that far![/quote]
Yes! 10DPO on Friday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I've been doing cheapies cos I'm a POAS psycho 😂😂 negative obvs. I feel sick again today, head ache too but boobs feel less sore. I'm gonna do a FRER on Friday I think

Redpanda21 · 16/03/2021 22:27

I will join! I think I’m 5DPO but could be 10dpo as stopped temping as ovulation was incredibly late by 20ish days! And of course when I stopped tracking I bloody ovulated and didn’t DTD for a week but going by hornyness, Cm and cramps we managed 2 days.

No real symptoms here just a few cramps and headache.

Little worried if I do catch this cycle as we conceived exactly around this time last year and had a mmc and troublesome issues after, so if we do then I’ll have a similar due date.

Tbh I don’t think this is the month due to the BDing.

Sticky dust ladies x

@Janxyb I'm only lying to myself I'll definitely end up testing from 7dpo, I'll never learn! It's crazy how you expect it to just happen right away. I got pregnant from missing one pill when I was 21, yet at 34 I'm 3 months off the pill and nada 😂

OP posts:
Janxyb · 16/03/2021 21:37

I've bough lots of internet cheapies aswell 😂 I spent an absolute fortune on tests last time we were trying ttc. I just can't help myself and will definitely be testing at 7dpo 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
I have absolute no symptoms at the moment except maybe a few tiny twinges I may have imagined, it's still early days though as af not due til the 26th x

@Dreamer30 I bought a load of internet cheapies to satisfy my POAS addiction. I refuse to buy any decent tests until around 12 dpo. Realistically if I make it that long I'll be pregnant as I've a short luteal phase. Even if it's a bit longer from O being brought forward, AF is due on 12 dpo

OP posts:
Dreamer30 · 16/03/2021 21:23

@Fifi1086 I'm exactly the same! Just got over the pain of sore boobs with AF and it's back already. They just feel heavy and sensitive but I know from googling all these symptoms that they mean other things too. Just hate the tww! I never last waiting to test 🙈
