the madness that is symptom spotting. 5 dpo.

[myusernamewhichisthis]

talk sense to me.

i feel sick and i have raging thrush. i didnt want any wine last night.
the thrush could be from the amount we dtd when i got a positive opk on cd15. im cd 21 now.

the nausea could be any number of things. stress probably.

i have 2 frer but determined not to test unless af is late because i also know from bitter experience that way madness lies.

im pretty sure id have sore boobs if i were going to get a bfp. i dont.

anyone around the same dpo want to compare notes?

ive also had constant cramping which could just mean af is gearing up.

i fecking HATE this waiting game. all i want is a bfp and a healthy baby at the end of it.
just 1. not greedy.

Omg OP I am exactly the same as you! A symptom spotting little madam!

It's so hard not to second guess everything! But I think the best thing we can do is try to just carry on until af is at least due!

I read on here someone said that when ttc you are hyper aware of the things your body does which it always has, you've just not noticed it before.

Good luck though! Fx for a BFP for you soon!

thanks stick im preety sure thats true - before i was ttc i didnt take the blindest notice.
i got a bfp last year and didnt even know - didnt find out till nearly 6 weeks because i wasnt taking any notice. we lost that one.
now im a nightmare.

af is due 5th aug. ive hidden the FRER.

Just to say I sympathise - 8dpo today and even though I don't think my chances are good for this cycle I can't help but hope and obviously symptom spotting madly! I've had 3mcs, all conceived first try, then didn't conceive last cycle so feel like I've lost my knack!

fingers crossed for us all.

I've never got sore boobs with a bfp not until 6/8 weeks. So that's not always a symptom. Good luck x

thank you. i think im 6 dpo today and nothing - no symptoms so not very optimisitic at all.

I think 6DPO is way to early to symptom spot, don't rule yourself out just yet.

You've probably not even implanted yet. You will not be getting symptoms for another few weeks. Try to distract and relax. PMA.

realistically i know youre all right - its just so hard staying positive when every month for a year has ended in disappointment.

i will stay distracted. i dont test these days unless af is late.

I get you I really do, knocking on a year almost too and with a loss at 10 weeks back in February I feel like it will never happen. But I'm also realistic, in that what will be will be, there's no point in me living my life obsessing over every ache or twinge or weird symptom as it will make me miserable, and I don't want to look back on this time and think I was miserable making my future children. You'll get there, but try to enjoy it. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm 4 DPO today. X
