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'

BFN for me this morning at 11dpo so probably out for this month but AF not due till Sunday so hoping it could still change!

I am EXHAUSTED today! Barely keeping my eyes open with a headache to go with it and zero concentration levels; On/off dull ache/cramps in lower belly and constipation this morning - probably af right? 😔

I can’t stop poas. I’ve absolutely lost the plot. I said second time around I’m gonna act like a “normal human being”. Tww has other plans! Just tell me I’m being an idiot and these are more bfn.

@JohnoWhits sorry but this did make me chuckle 🙈 I have poas everyday since friday!! I need help!!! Least it's nice knowing we are not alone...!!??

Feel like I'm deffo having af cramps now 😔

Hiya,

Can I join in?.. it's my first time posting but our 5th round of IUI. 1st time was MMC and 3 other unsuccessful rounds since then. This is 2nd time of stim IUI. I'm 5 Dpo and have had really sore boobs last couple of days, feel like they've swelled today and always feel like there's something going on in my tummy but don't know if that's psychological!
Good luck to all, it's hell to wait isn't it.

@JohnoWhits sorry I didn't see the pics before - I don't think I can see a line 😔 sorry but how many DPO are you?

@JohnoWhits definitely not an idiot! I'm struggling to see a line, although the first one possibly something?! So hard to see on a photo I'm exactly the same, I was crazy first time round and promised I'd be calmer about it this time - but nope

Sorry to hear that daydreamer but let’s continue to keep our fingers crossed.
I’m exactly the same - told myself I’d be normal for no.2, but nooooooo, I’m continuing to behave like a crazy person!
I stupidly looked at a test I did this morning after an hour and a half and can see a line that’s still there now. Did some stupid “water trick” thing and it remained. But it’s obviously an evap right? It doesn’t have colour as far as I can tell but it’s so faint so not really possible to tell- and I had to break the test apart to see it!! I’m ridiculous honestly!

I keep telling myself I won’t do this to myself next cycle; it’s not healthy! But then I know I won’t be able to help it! Has anyone actually ever managed to wait in day AF is due, and if so please share how you have the willpower...

Oh and johno- I do see a kind of light grey line, not dissimilar to mine; could it be an evap? Did you read within the timeframe? Does it have colour irl?

@Millie2008 I'm waiting until AF, and did last time too. Mainly because I'm stingy and won't pay out for extra tests

Well done undomesticgodde55 - I'm impressed. Cost is a very good motivator - I already feel bad about how much I've spent and it's only been the cheapies. Also hacked off as the superdrug ones I bought were both invalid :-(
Must, must, must be better next cycle...

@Millie2008 to be fair the first month of TTC I was down the coop buying them a lot, second month I was better and didn't test until a week after AF was late and in a way thought I was going to jinx us by testing early and I got a BFP. The pregnancy didn't last but I'm of the same mindset this time, one cost and two don't want to jinx anything or get my hopes up for a false positive

Couldn’t agree more about getting hopes up; feel like it’s all really messing with my head already. So sorry to hear about your loss loads of luck this cycle - you’ll have to keep us posted...

In the same boat here. I've never had any ovulation symptoms but ever since ovulation, I've had some odd boob pains. At first it was my nipples sensitive to the touch, then it went to the sides after a few days. I'm 8dpo and both sides of my breasts hurt and I'm feeling some tingling and some itching. Veins are prominent in my breasts and super promiment in my hands and up my arms, and have been passing out at 10pm when usually I wait for my boyfriend to get home at midnight then spend an hour or two with him, but I can't even stay up past 1130 now🤦

Does anybody else have really vivid dreams that switch and change? Last night I dreamt I was at a theatre, then off to work then my old work, then saw my Nan. Night before I was in my nans old house but was being held their against my will, escaped and ran down the road bare foot. All very odd!!!

Going bad to early pregnancy testing, I have a friend bugging me to take an early one now so not likely to last till next week now 😂 peer pressure eh!! God damn clear blue and their early detection tests!!!

I'm feeling you there with the dreams lately. It's hard to tell if it's a symptom because I used to have strange dreams every now and then

@Millie2008 I totally blame you been on amazon and bought myself an early detection pregnancy test to take Friday morning

Defo not my month I dont think! Still spotting but it has got heavier, had to wear a tp this today. Still getting cramp and ache. I'm just confused because I have never been early in my life! Must just be a very big inconvenient coincidence!

@Ty4happy could it be implantation bleeding? How many weeks should you be - think it happens around week 2?

Also if your worried about the cramping ring your GP, just to make sure it's not ectopic with left sided cramps as it could be early symptoms

I'm absolutely exhausted today, it's ridiculous. Bizarrely I was fine whichever day I woke at 5, but today, having got a good night's sleep last night I'm falling asleep at my desk.

Not feeling so sick, but I had most of a large bowl of soup for lunch and then had pains in my stomach. Yes, it was a large bowlful but it was the only thing I'd eaten all day. Very odd.

undomesticgodde55 I did think so at first, started 5 days ago 9DPO 1 week before AF very light just when I wiped but yesterday and today much heavier. Due AF Friday so I think it may just be that now. X

I've just caved and tested using FRER and it's a BFN. Told myself I'd hold off until tomorrow as that's the earliest suggested...but it very quickly just came up with one line!

Might test tomorrow am just to be sure, but I'm feeling fairly sure that I'm not pg. Boobs feel fine and despite feeling WIPED, I think it's just the cold I've picked up.

Oh well...good luck to you all!
