4/5 dpo - anyone want to symptom spot?

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!

@RoseP123 fx for you this month! It's so hard to stay positive at times, I know

@RoseP123 definitely worth a try if this cycle doesn't work out! @Dreamer30 glad I'm not the only one with awful cramps! I don't normally get sore boobs until day before AF, although with my last pregnancy (12 years ago) I had zero symptoms other than being tired.

I literally tried everything this month from supplements to the ferti-lily so I'm really hoping but equally trying to be laid back about it (yeah right)

@Dreamer30 sounds positive Smile I don't think I have a chance, my luteal phase was only 8 days last month so I'm expecting AF on SaturdaySad

Dreamer30 · 16/03/2021 21:15

@RoseP123 I have exactly the same symptoms as you but I'm not due for another 10 days

Dreamer30 · 16/03/2021 21:14

Am I okay to join please ladies?

I'm 5dpo and the cramp I'm feeling right now is horrendous! Also have heavy boobs. I know it's too early for any real symptoms but I usually only have cramp around O or before AF.

AF isn't due until the 26th and it feels like forever away lol

RoseP123 · 16/03/2021 21:08

I had an identical cycle to you @Fifi1086 . I think I will try soy iso next cycle to try and bring ovulation earlier. I'm glad it worked for you Smile

I am 5dpo and symptom spotting (of course) I have had sore boobs today and some cramping but it is probably AF getting ready to arrive on Saturday like last month Sad

Yay! Welcome both to the insanity club. I know,logically, symptoms shouldn't really happen yet but my god I've had such cramps today and yesterday. Today's ones are radiating down my leg too which only happens the first day of AF. I've also had a lot of (TMI) what I can only describe as snot like CM since O, and I'd usually have dried up by now. I've heard that the increase in progesterone can cause cramping though so could just be that! I'm going to test Monday I just hope I make it that far without the witch arriving!

Hello! I'll join you, I am 4dpo. I have quite long cycles and got my positive opk on cd19 (actually quite early for me). We are ttc number 2. Have a ds who is 2.5. This was our first month trying and he took 18 cycles so I'm expecting it too take a good while again but that won't stop me symptom spotting 😂😂 x

I'm 7DPO 5today I've been symptom spotting since 4DPO. CD26. AF due on Tuesday or Wednesday.

So far for me I've felt sick Saturday night, Sunday & yesterday and a little bit tonight but the main thing has been my boobs being so sore and hot since 4DPO. Normally I get sore boobs maybe a week before AF but not 10 days before. Hoping it's not a coincidence. I have also been a horrible person since Saturday, and I feel like I could either scream or cry......!!!

Love irrational symptom spotting 😂😂
