5 DPO+ - symptoms..?

[Daydreamer71]

Hi, thought I'd invite anyone who is 5DPO plus to see how you're getting on. Anyone getting any weird 'symptoms'? I'm overanalysing everything that my body is doing so just interested to hear others views really! I'm 7 DPO.

Over the past few days I've had on and off dull ache in lower belly, on Monday I had bad stomach cramps & diarrhea, on and off fatigue etc. And my boobs are a little tender today but it's not as bad as period boobs.

I know some say it's too early to tell etc. and I get that but for this thread I'm really just looking for anyone to share their current experiences and any 'symptoms'

Hi all, due af tomorrow! Wondering if I should take a test this morning or just wait until tomorrow! Only have one of those clearblue digital ones 🙈 so nervous!

ballsdeep- sorry to hear that. But agree that you’re not out till af shows. Last month I got bfn’s with non-brand tests all the way through. Bfp only showed with a cb on the day of missed af. Was a chemical but still. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. The 2ww is so hard- you almost feel like you’re body’s letting you down somehow

Blondie- obviously up to you but personally wouldn’t ever use a digi early as I don’t think they’re as sensitive and are expensive! Maybe hold out till tomorrow if you can...? But obvs update us with today’s results if you’ve already done it!

Tha k you for your message. It definitely does. I have been off on Easter holidays too which is worse in a way because I am hyper aware of everything! If there's no af I'll try a clear blue. So sorry to hear about your chemical. Xx

Thanks @millie2008 I decided to leave it and am out of the house now for the day so it will be off my mind! Think I will get a frer while in town and try it tomorrow 🙈 hope everyone has a great weekend!

@undomesticgodde55 ooooh I'm taking props for the closeness of my guess 🤪 I can totally understand you being bored already but as you say there are some positives in there!
Hope everyone's will power is holding up, I have a really long cycle so not due for another 10 days 😩
Fingers crossed for everyone over the coming days 🤞🏼💜

@Kiza yea lots of positives a whole year and half of no nights and weekends off hahaha!!! Oh and the baby.....

Morning ladies.. well I'm out this month AF showed up this morning 😡🤬 so into cycle number 3, hopefully more positive results to come from you guys 😁

Awh @littlelisa34 sorry to hear af showed up! I did a frer this morning as af due and no sign but it was a bfn....so disappointed! Looks like I maybe out too! Hopefully cycle number 3 is our one 🤞🏻

I know I feel like rubbish now... but your definitely not out until she shows up keep positive 😁

Sorry to hear @littlelisa34. I'm on cycle 3 aswell. Thinking of doing SMEP this cycle after af is gone, just hoping we don't tire too early!! 🙈

Sorry to hear about AF @littlelisa34.
I’m 8DPO & keep feeling nauseous & crampy but could just be imagining things Want to hold off testing until Friday as that’s when AF is due, will see how well I do!
@Blondie7187 your not out until AF shows ! (Or at least that’s how I’m trying to think!)

Sorry af has shown up littlelisa fingers crossed this is your month.

So confession time...
Im 12dpo and was getting a few symptoms and had some tests left over from last month so couldn’t help myself... got a strong positive on cb, so did a cb digital and it says “pregnant”! Want to be pleased but can’t quite get excited yet as I’m so nervous it’ll end up being another chemical.

@littlelisa34 sorry to hear AF has arrived, fingers crossed third time lucky. Have a glass while you can

@Millie2008 ooooo exciting lets hope it sticks and I'll have someone to feel sick with 

DP just made himself a coffee and it stinks 

Oh wow @Millie2008 that is exciting, although I completely understand your hesitancy after last month. It's difficult to not get excited until at least a week after AF is due has passed, keeping everything crossed for you this month!
Sorry @littlelisa34 that AF has shown up, it can be so disappointing and feel so down those first few days 💜

Thanks guys yes, I’ll feel more confident once I’m a week past af due date...

Congratulations @millie2008 very exciting! fingers & toes crossed it’s a sticky baby for you!

Wow congrats @Millie2008 !

9dpo for me today and got ALL the symptoms but they're so like AF it's hard to tell really. Boobs are sore, skin is awful, so tired, gone off booze, cramping in my tummy, pain in my lower back, excess wind and smelly wee. All very delightful!

Exciting news @Millie2008 congratulations and everything crossed for you.. I will feel crappy for a couple of days and then back on it and hopefully good news next time round 😁

@Veevee457 I've seen a lot of success stories with SMEP so it's worth a go 😁

Remind me what SMEP is....?

Awh @millie2008 great news! Will keep fingers crossed for you! 😊

Without TMI I don't know how people have time and energy for SMEP 🙈 I'm so exhausted after work most days that after cooking, cleaning, bits and bobs and sorting work bag for the following day I'm lucky if I wash my face let alone DTD!
No wonder I'm not having much luck, maybe if I call in sick work work each ovulation week 😆

Hey !

I'm currently TTC baby number 3 - came off the pill 14/3 and had my first "period" 10/4 for 4 days, Flo says my ovulation date was 23/4 so I've been a crazy sex fiend for weeks now

When I came off the pill I had so many symptoms it was crazy - I took 3 tests between 14/3 and 10/4 because I was convinced I was pregnant (I didn't get any pms symptoms or periods whilst on the pill so turns out I was just bloody hormonal)

My achy boobs came back with a vengeance Tuesday, put this down to ovulation, got impatient and took a test Thursday but was a digital one, said negative.

I'm now 5 dpo but only 3 days since I did the test, when can I test again ? What kind of test is best ? My boobs still ache, beginning of the week I had one sided pain, and I'm a bit crampy/achy, but nothing major, I'm always bloody tired so that's not anything to go on !

I'm 32 now, had my babies at 19 and 21 and have had two MMC since them so I'm a little bit anxious that I may have missed my baby making boat

My poor dp has been doing his bit twice a day for the last week, think he'll be happy that he can have a rest if I'm pregnant, not just because I'm pregnant

@Makinbaconpancakes welcome to the group, sounds like your testing really early, just try to relax and wait a little longer it's your first month trying after AF so gives yourself a break. I didn't get my BFP until about 12 DPO.

Sperm can live up to 5 days, so personally I wouldn't be DTD twice a day, your both gonna tire out at that rate! Try every other day instead to make sure it's all good quality

@undomesticgodde55 thank you

Think I'm just over excited as been waiting to be in a position where I can have another baby and now it's here, I just want to be pregnant already !

I know I'm only gonna make it worse by over thinking it and trying to rush it, these things have a way of just happening when you least expect it.

Maybe I should just wait now until my af day before I test - as this is my first cycle I don't know when it will arrive, only have a rough idea from flo app, just hate not knowing and it not being a guarantee
