5DPO - anybody want to keep each other company..?

109 replies

jessicarolfe · 20/04/2021 20:16

Hey everyone!

So I'm currently 5DPO - this is my 8th cycle TTC and I've had two chemical pregnancies.

Since these, I've promised myself I won't test early to try and avoid disappointment.. 🥴

Anybody fancy keeping me company?

Hey everyone, I'm 7dpo today and hopping on the thread too! Had an early mc in February so hoping to get my rainbow... having my 2nd cycle since and it's been so much longer. Ovulated much later than usual. Feeling lower back pain and abdominal pressure today, trying to talk myself out of symptom spotting but easier said than done Blush

Hope everyone had a great day. PS My eye is drawn to something on that FRER but they have scorned me in the past too... hopefully it's the start of something 💗

@jessicarolfe I've been there before, had a really strong urge and feeling that I was pregnant. It was the middle of the afternoon and I was only around 7dpo and I did a test thinking so strongly that it would be a positive...it obviously wasn't 🙄

Newbie202012 · 22/04/2021 14:56

Yep it came up in the timeframe @extrababydust123 but I'm not sure it's got colour to it.. 🤔

I'm going to wait now! I'm usually super chill and controlled! My dream last night really took me by surprise so I just had to POAS 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

Did it come up within the timescale? It’s still so early so it’s good even anything showed up if so, but I do think once it’s broken apart it’s as good as void so I’d discount it now and try again tomorrow! And try and chill a little!! 😉 x

Girls.. I've gone full on crazy and broken the test apart to let it dry out.. I don't think the line has colour 🤦🏼‍♀️🥴 I know I'm super early so not too disappointed..

Thank you so much for looking at it guys!!! I feel like I can see the hint of something too.. but I'm not sure if it's just an indent or my crazy line eyes 🤷‍♀️🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

extrababydust123 · 22/04/2021 13:10

@jessicarolfe I see an extremely faint line on the original but that could be me and my imaginative line eyes 👀 hopefully the start of something big!!

Don’t blame you for testing early, I did an ic this morning just to POAS 🤣🤣 obviously big fat negative hahaha I’m only 5dpo

Arghlife · 22/04/2021 11:40

Hi guys!

I swore I wouldn't.. I need a slap on the wrist!
BUT

I had a REALLY vivid dream last night that I got my BFP. I decided to just go for it and test.. This is my 2nd morning urine

I'm 7DPO so fully aware that implantation may not have even happened..

Can you see anything?

I'll probably test Sunday, due on Tuesday I think so only a couple of days beforehand. It's really hard not to symptom spot and unfortunately alot of the early pregnancy symptoms can also be pms. I've got the sore, very heavy boobs, spot breakout, random bits of nausea and occasional cramps....but I get this every month after ovulation Sad

extrababydust123 · 21/04/2021 23:00

@jessicarolfe from what I’ve seen/heard, boob pain, lower back and stomach pain are all good things in the TWW, so sounding promising for you at the moment 🥰

You have good willpower not testing until 12/13 dpo, that would take me to next weekend and I’m really not sure I will last that long. I know in the long run it’ll save the heartache of potential chemicals but my ic’s are calling my name already 🙈

@Newbie202012 of course! Welcome to the thread! I'm so sorry to hear of your chemical,
Too. It really is heartbreaking I can me even describe the pain.
I hope this is your month! The pomegranate juice sounds promising!! Xx

@extrababydust123 exactly! The less people know in real life the better! I like things to be a surprise 🥰

I've had a little google but not sure that much is really coming up.. it was such a weird 'pain' if I could even call it that! It was really unusual and hasn't happened again since!

The lower stomach pain is really odd, twinges that are spreading down round my hips to my lower back Hmm

Newbie202012 · 21/04/2021 22:53

Hi can I join in sorry about your chemicals its heart breaking isnt it I'm on cycle 4 ttc from my last cemical pregnancy 3 in total I'm 1dpo I'm drinking pomegranate juice this cycle as I've heard it helps with implantation

extrababydust123 · 21/04/2021 22:52

@jessicarolfe me too! Feel like it’s more pressure people in real life knowing, and if it doesn’t happen straight away then I can imagine it wouldn’t be nice for people to constantly ask how it’s going etc.

Have you googled it? I find myself googling every tiny symptom I imagine I’m having 🤣 I’m only 4dpo!! I’m a nutter. Hopefully it’s all good signs anyway. Surely twinges in your lower stomach are a good sign! Everything crossed for you OP 🤞🏽💖

The only other symptoms, if you could call them that; is the strange fluttery / sharp twinges in my lower stomach!

@extrababydust123 I agree! I've not told anybody in 'real life'Blush so I'm so pleased to be able to share with you all on here and get some lovely messages and support!!

I haven't ever had this before. No idea what it could be at all, I wonder if it could hopefully be a good sign? But don't want to look too much into it for fear of disappointment 🙈🙈

OP posts:
extrababydust123 · 21/04/2021 22:45

@jessicarolfe 100%, and I definitely do feel better being able to speak to you all on the same journey 💖

That’s so strange! Have you have any other symptoms? As this is around the time you could be implanting, so maybe(hopefully🤞🏽) could be that!

Hope we get lots of strong BFP’s on here 🙈

jessicarolfe · 21/04/2021 22:42

@extrababydust123 I know the feeling! It's a really hard journey. We are in it 'virtually' but together! ❤️

I haven't ever had anything like it so absolutely no idea what it was.. so strange! It felt like an electric shot!! That's all I can describe it as. Very obvious and took my breath away...

I'm hoping to hold out until at least 12-13
DPO! Xx

extrababydust123 · 21/04/2021 22:40

Thanks lovelies @jessicarolfe @Arghlife just struggling today!

I’ve never heard of anything like that @jessicarolfe, sounds promising though? So easy to symptom spot all the time isn’t it haha.

I will definitely be testing before I’m due AF, I’ll probably test Saturday or Sunday if I’m honest 🤣 what about you guys?

jessicarolfe · 21/04/2021 22:37

I'm really trying to hold out this month after having had my 2 chemicals.. as awful as it sounds, if that's going to happen I'd rather not have the pain of knowing, by testing early!

I had. A strange electric shot type feeling down the side of one boob this evening.. really odd as it started at my armpit and shot down the side right into my nipple.. like an electric current?! Never ever had anything like it before! Anybody else had this??
