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'

Hey, so don’t want to get too hopeful but af still not shown up and I’m usually like clockwork. Caved and did a cb early and I thought I could see a ridiculously faint line. Just did cb digital and “not pregnant”, but wee pretty watered down as been drinking a lot of water and tea. Have 1 of each left and will do tomorrow morning if af not shown up...

@millie that's good news no sign of AF. Good luck for your tests tomorrow. Xx

Due on Tuesday, BFN's so far! I've got an achey, crampy tummy today & increased CM. I guess that's just my AF coming?

Omg feeling so bloody nauseous today!!! But I have also had ALOT of cake today thanks to afternoon tea . Early signs or too much sugar

Thanks mrsm18- will update tomorrow either way. Still no sign of af so trying to stay positive. I reckon it’s still early for you, and so hard to know re symptoms as I think they’re so similar to af in early pregnancy. Keeping my fingers crossed for you x

Hey, so just to update- got a bfp this morning on cb digital!! Very happy and excited! Also somewhat surprised after all the bfn’s on IC’s. Fingers crossed for all those still awaiting af/bfp x

Massive congratulations @Millie2008!!! I have been reading on the internet how testing early can give false readings best get yourself down the GP and a midwife appointment. Happy Mother's Day

@Millie2008 congratulations! What a fab Mother's Day gift

CD13 for me with a BFN and AF feeling in my tummy, so definitely think I'm out this month x

Thanks guys thinking I might leave gp and midwife booking a couple of weeks to make sure it def sticks.
Mrsm18- Just to give you some hope I got bfn’s even yesterday which was day af due. I really don’t trust the IC’s now. Also felt a bit like af was going to show and kept running to the toilet to check. You’re not out yet...

Silly question, what does IC stand for?

“Internet cheapie” - just the cheap hpt’s you can get online

@Millie2008
Congratulations, how wonderful to find out on Mother's Day too

@Millie2008 Thank you for the last glimmer of hope! Hope you've had a lovely day celebrating your fab news x

@Millie2008 congratulations! That's amazing news!

Has anyone else found the ICs to be unreliable? I'm wondering whether to get some different tests, as AF still not here.

@RandomUsernameHere pop to Tesco's or boots and get their own brand one. How late are you now?

@undomesticgodde55 I'm not sure exactly as haven't had a proper period yet since coming off the pill, but think I ov'd and DTD 15 days ago. That's just based on CM though as not properly tracking yet. I like the IC's because there's much less plastic waste (and they're cheap!) but obviously no good if they're not reliable!

Ah I got you. Yea I was the same my first month of coming off the implant, I had no idea if I ovulated or not but just kept DTD anyway. Hopefully you have been lucky first time around

Thank you Kiza and Random; has been a lovely day thanks

Cramps last night - think AF is about to raise her head again strange dreams again last night - running around shops trying to find sanitary products

@undomesticgodde55 you just reminded me I had some very weird dreams last night and slept very heavily! I'm still doubting my faint line from a test from Friday after an IC I did Friday evening came back negative.
Trying to find the willpower to not test again until period is due this weekend
Fingers crossed for you

@Kiza to be fair they say if your testing early use the first urine of the day otherwise your too hydrated to show HGC. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I just did another test.....

Congratulations!!!

Thanks, it's a bit clearer here. 2 days till AF is due. Lost our first pregnancy in December, so fingers crossed this one had made it to the uterus and stuck

@undomesticgodde55 ooooh, I can definitely see a line there, that's about as faint as what mine was. How are you feeling?
