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'

Wow big congrats @Millie2008. Brilliant news! 💐 I'm already doubting how successful we'll be with the SMEP - it sounds a tad exhausting!!!

I'm due today, no af. Took test bfn 🙄

Sorry to hear that @ballsdeep but not out until AF shows.

Permanently erect nipples - symptom or not

@tisonlymeagain I bet symptom. I had that before BFP good luck

@ballsdeep I agree your not out till AF shows. Use the first urine tomorrow for a more accurate result good luck

Arg! What tests are you using ballsdeep?

(Is it bad I enjoy typing your name every time!)

Loving the name @ballsdeep. I am in the same boat, AF due today and didn’t show up, took FRER this morning and a BFN! 🤦🏼‍♀️

10dpo and couldn't resist doing a FRER after having a dream about it. BFN  Appreciate it's still early though so will leave it a few days now. Have been cramping for days, it's getting on my nerves.

@tisonlymeagain
You held out longer than me! I’m 9dpo & have such sore boobs, it’s was annoying me sleeping last night so tested this morning, BFN of course. AF due Friday so will hold out until then to see if it arrives or test again

@MountAbora I had the same last month, took early response- negative on the Thursday and Friday. Tested again on the Monday and a very faint BFP, barely even there! I think to get a decent BFP you have to go past the AF due date. I don't think the shops should be selling the early ones in fairness it turns us all crazy

Thanks @undomesticgodde55 that gives me hope still for this month tho it could easily be symptoms of AF rearing her head so trying not to put too much on it. Tho my DP did say he’s not heard me complain about my boobs this much before
I think your right about the tests as it can just drive us a bit crazy with the ‘what ifs’. I wish I’d held off testing until Friday!
Glad you got your BFP !

Yeah @MountAbora but I did do internet cheapies this weekend, though really wouldn't expect them to show anything for a while anyhow so don't know why I bothered. Nuts!

My AF is due Friday too, shall we see if we can hold out together? (NO CHANCE!)

Hi ladies! How is everyone doing....did another test this morning a clearblue digital and got a BFP!!! I can’t believe it....hope it sticks! I did a FRER yesterday and it was negative so no one is out until AF arrives!

Ooh that is giving me hope @Blondie7187 congratulations! How many DPO are you?

Thanks @tisonlymeagain very early days so fingers crossed all will go okay! I am 13 dpo and my AF was due yesterday!

Fingers crossd @Blondie7187! And okay, that's giving me some more comfort 13dpo will be Thursday for me.

Congratulations @Blondie7187!!! Wooo!!!!

Hi everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining in been reading this thread for a while and you’ve all made me feel so much better this month!
I’m on month 7 TTC #1 starting to really worry something is wrong with one of us!! I’m due AF on Wednesday took a first repsonse yesterday as been feeling rubbish all weekend had really tired nauseous and just off. My boob are really sore but always are before AF so can’t read much into that. But it was a BFN 👎🏻 I’ve had cramping for a while and just hoping we will be lucky this month or soon!!

Congratulations on everyone BFP’s!! 😁

Hope no one minds me jumping on!!

Thanks @undomesticgodde55 really hope it works out! Trying not to get too excited but it’s hard...I’ll do a test in another few days and see!

Welcome @rachj90 sorry to hear you are disheartened but we have all been there. I had very similar symptoms to what you described and thought AF was coming but took a test yesterday and it was neg and then today I got the BFP! Still in shock and hope all will be okay! Look after yourself x

Congratulations @Blondie7187 great news!

Welcome @RachJ90 those symptoms sound promising, fingers crossed this is your month.

@tisonlymeagain yes a testing buddy! They do make you nuts! I’m hoping to hold off until Friday as I’m in work really early for next 3 days which (hopefully!) will put me off testing until then I want to get a CB test tho as feel they may be better...wishful thinking maybe!!

Yes I can't test tomorrow anyway @MountAbora, I might cave Wednesday though.

@Blondie7187 congratulations!! it gives me hope that you had a negative then a positive! Me and OH we’re very disheartened yesterday! I’m holding out now till I’m over due which will be Thursday or Friday although I have more first repsonse on the way tomorrow 😬.

Hi @RachJ90 welcome to the chat. From what I have read taking up to a year is pretty normal to conceive, I had a friend last year who was trying over 6 months, then decided fuck it - went out camping had a few beers stoped tracking and got knocked up. There is definitely hope out there for you fingers crossed this is your month. Easy for me to say but try not to put too much pressure on yourself

@undomesticgode55 I know it’s just worrying to think maybe there is something wrong with us 🙈 but hopefully the time will be right soon and it will happen. My friend took over a year to get pregnant with her first then When they thought maybe we should have a second conceived within the month so I’m trying to stay relaxed but it’s so hard at the end of the TWW !!

Hey everyone just wanted to update you all, just had our scan - it's in the right place and it has a heartbeat such a relief after what happened at Christmas
