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'

@Kiza no I haven't, I'm too scared go get a negative so am waiting until Friday (if I can!!) I'm off all this week so it's going to be a tough one!
I think that about the internet tests too 😂 x

@mumof1hants we have to justify it someday 😆 when is AF due for you? Mine isn't until a week on Wednesday as I have quite a long LP

@Kiza So hard! I've just been in B&M bargains and I saw clear blue test and was tempted to buy those, but it's still expensive but then I think if I bought cheapies I'd never trust them! It's a vicious cycle!

@Kiza I'm due sometime between thurs-sat... 😳 so nervous!!!

@mumof1hants wow that's going to be hard being off work all week not to test till Friday- I admire your willpower! Keep strong and maybe get the other half to hide all the tests?
@NLouise123 the IC have worked for me twice before so they are definitely worth having a few in for those tempting mornings 😆

Good luck Kiza!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you

@Kiza Hmmm....I may have a browse! It's only cycle 1, I've wanted this for much longer! Me and OH are seeing a house tomorrow, all I can think about is filling the second bedroom!

Argh, trying not to symptom spot but have sore boobs again, feel nauseous, have had a heavy feeling down below for a few days, mild cramping and just had a teeny tiny bit of brown discharge- so tiny I would've blinked and missed it!
AF not due till Wednesday 5th June so all good signs of potential implantation but trying not to overthink it. 😫
Hows other people's temptations today?

@Kiza It can be all consuming symptom spotting. My boobs have been sore, I've been having issues going to the loo or lack of (tmi) sorry! No spotting, some back ache and pain in my felt side....also a little CM...I don't know what to think! AF due on the 4th x

@NLouise123 hahaha same with toilet issue but I think that's my reduction in a strong morning coffee 😆
Looks like we are both on similar timelines, are you still holding off testing this week? It's so difficult isn't it when symptoms are so similar to AF!

@Kiza Haha maybe, I don't drink coffee, maybe I need more fibre in my diet! I am going to hold off till the weekend, I've only got one test at home in the cupboard and that's where it's staying!
easier said than done!

Hi ladies, can I join?

TTC #1, had a miscarriage in early 2018 and some issues with cervical cells but all clear in March so ready to start the journey!

Currently 4 or 5dpo, and AF due 5/06 according to Ovia. Haven't been tracking temps or using opks, just went with app predictions but have ordered a BBT and some ICs off amazon just in case, as didn't feel too confident we timed it right this month... But, today I have had some cramps/twinges low down and in stomach and a bit of a twinge in my back - not really much different to when af is due, although maybe a bit early for me. But I had a really dizzy spell in work today - only way to describe it was like I was on a boat on choppy sea!? It passed after about 30 mins but has been coming and going today, although not lasting as long.. Also feel slightly nauseous - don't feel like eating meals just things I can pick at.. Am confused though as everything I've read so far says implantion wouldn't have happened yet- aarrgh!!

Was going to buy a first response and test maybe Sunday or Monday but have had a read through thread and think maybe best to wait until af due to save any disappointment! It's such a weird time and also bloody drags in, I can't seem to concentrate on anything except my uterus lol!!

Fingers crossed for everyone this month and congrats to all who already have their BFPs

@PheobeBuffet welcome to the group, I hear all of what you're saying and it's definitely a tough one not to symptom spot, all the great signs I had yesterday have now disappeared 😞
So I took a test this morning (bfn) which was silly as AF not due till Wednesday next week!

We just have to somehow keep plodding along, trying to distract ourselves for the 2 ww! Sending hope you're way ☺️

Thanks @Kiza 😊 hope you're doing OK after bfn - as you say it's early days and the rational part of you knows this but still can't help feeling disappointed.

Been busy at work today so that's kept my mind off things - have a few days off now so going to try and keep busy! Had some right hand pains today that feel like ovulation pain! Don't know wtf is going on, preparing myself for it being af. Looking on the brightside if it's, it's another month to work in the gym and get in the best shape for when I do get pregnant 💪🏼😊 xx

@PheobeBuffet yeah I know what you mean, I keep on trying to tell myself that. More time to work out, socialise and have a sneaky drink on the odd weekend 😁
Do you have much planned for your days off?

@Kiza hopefully soon we won't be able to do all that 😉 I'm having a pamper day Friday, getting my hair done and then have a day out with dp on Saturday. Wasn't going to drink, but everything Ive seen says its OK to have a couple during 2ww so I shall! The last time I was pregnant I was at my works Xmas do a few days before I found out. Thought I had the worst hangover ever 😂 do you have anything nice planned for the weekend?

@PheobeBuffet when you think of all those women who aren't TTC and definitely have a few too many with no harm to the baby, I'm sure a couple is fine 🍹
Pamper day sounds great!
No plans other than usual chores, batch cooking, food shop etc. I'm hoping the weather is decent to go for a walk or even a cheeky sunbathe in the garden!

@NLouise123 how did the house viewing go? Have you managed to hold off testing this week?
@mumof1hants how have you gotten on this week as remembered you said you were going to hold off testing till today? I caved and tested on Wednesday but got a bfn
@PheobeBuffet enjoy your Pamper day today ☺️💁🏼‍♀️

@Kiza yep tested with a FRER this morning and it was BFN. Hard not to be disappointed but oh well x

@mumof1hants we've still got time until AF is due so we're not out yet! How many dpo are you today?
I'm 12 today and thinking of testing tomorrow 😕

@mumof1hants just read back that you thought you were due between yesterday and tomorrow, any signs of AF?

@kiza yes that's right. No sign of he yet but there wasn't even a faint line on the FRER so I'm sure she's just around the corner! X

@mumof1hants fingers crossed for you, keep us posted 💜

@Kiza The house was okay, but rather on the small side and not much room to make it our own so we're just going to hang on.

Caved and tested yesterday, BFN, not really surprised as only 10dpo. Going to wait till Sunday to test, AF due on Tuesday. Although I had watery CM and a dull ache Wednesday and yesterday so don't know if I've only just OV and not known it or it's symptoms or my head playing tricks!

@NLouise123 when you're looking for somewhere to live and thinking ahead that there maybe an extra addition it definitely narrows down the options. Hopefully you'll find somewhere soon.
Sorry to hear about the bfn but we've still got a way to go, think I may test tomorrow...
Move had weird faint brown discharge since the day I ovulated so it can't be implantation bleeding as surely it doesn't last that long?
Maybe is AF making her mark 14 days early! 😆
