5 DPO and symptom spotting like crazy :)

Im currently 5 dpo and my boobs have been killing me the last few days! I dont normally get sore breasts until a week before af, so this is really early for me.
I know its far too early to be symptom spotting, but I cant help it Grin
Anyone else 5dpo and having any symptoms?

@TheOrangeMonster 😂😂😂 that's funny how's he's just not even phased 🤣

Anastacia1 · 12/06/2020 06:19

Morning ladies so took another test this morning I think I see a wee line 😬🙈 don’t want to get hopes up because this happened last month then period came but this is within time frame xx

@Anastacia1 I can see it as well!! Oooh 😀 exciting 🙊 x

Anastacia1 · 12/06/2020 06:58

@Elou26 it's so faint but definitely something there will do another tomorrow then leave it a couple days before I do the digital one trying so hard not to get hopes up 🙈☺️

leaferty · 12/06/2020 07:14

Can I join you?

Just read the whole thread & im at a similar point. 9dpo (and bfn, so I'm prob out but clinging onto hope!)

Congratulations to @MrsLully & fingers crossed for you @Anastacia1, that looks v hopeful!

Zippy1510 · 12/06/2020 07:19

I am three days late, so nauseous and having dizzy spells. With all the negative pregnancy tests!

MrsLully · 12/06/2020 08:22

@Anastacia1 I see it!! Yes!! Flowers

TheOrangeMonster · 12/06/2020 08:47

It’s time for me to go back to the GP.
BFN on a FRER today, 14dpo. Not even a hint of a hint of a line.
No sign of AF who is due today and has always without exception arrived in my first morning bathroom trip.
Something has gone wrong, I think it’s stress. 😢

30andTTC1 · 12/06/2020 09:21

@leaferty welcome, and well done for making it through the entire thread :)

@Anastacia1 I can see a line! Hopefully it gets nice and dark over the next few days Flowers

@Zippy1510 what type of tests have you used? Have you tried a digital?

@TheOrangeMonster no sign of af is a good sign! Are you usually quite regular? Might have been a later implantation, so not showing on tests yet? What do you have planned for date night, takeaway?

Most of my 'symptoms' have gone today, except the sore boobs and i'm pretty groggy. Just snapped at my partner for putting too much milk in my tea, Im NEVER like that haha! AF due Monday, and I expect to see her bright and early.

@30andTTC1 my cycles are usually 34-37 days, O around day 21-24. I’m on day 68 now, never had one this long before. Very occasionally they’ve run to 42 days, and I once had a 53 day one (caused by a massive ovarian cyst) but this is nuts.
I think sadly with a FRER it would be showing up by now. 84% of all implantations occur at 8-10 dpo (Wilcox et al, 1999) and implantations occurring after day 11 have an 82% chance of early loss. (Same study).
I suppose my luteal phase could have extended itself by one day (I can’t honestly say whether it’s always 13 days) but I know I’m not pregnant, I haven’t managed in 2.5 years, 19 cycles and I know it hasn’t happened this time either.
Feeling broken 😩

Zippy1510 · 12/06/2020 09:37

I’ve used the clear blue ultra early ones and they are definitely negative but I’m convinced I’m pregnant. My husband thinks I’m loosing it Grin. We are both scientists so inclined to trust the test results. I’m going to get a different type of test today.

claireb707 · 12/06/2020 11:41

@TheOrangeMonster 😢hope you can get answers from your gp it sucks this ttc malarkey doesn't it. I had a 44 day cycle last month that I'm putting down to stress

claireb707 · 12/06/2020 11:43

Hey @Zippy1510 fellow scientist here 👋

TheOrangeMonster · 12/06/2020 11:44

@claireb707 stress is a pig, it seriously does screw things up - it’s this lockdown, it’s played havoc with my nerves.
I’m feeling quite a lot better now as despite the fact that it means I am definitively out this time around, AF has come, with a vengeance like never before. BUT this whole ridiculous cycle is now done with and hopefully I’ll be back to normal soon.
And we’re going to get DH looked at, which will hopefully yield some answers.

I’ll keep checking back for all you other ladies though. Good luck for the next week or so!

Elou26 · 12/06/2020 12:24

@TheOrangeMonster oh no 😔 hopefully you can get some answers don't leave until you are happy with what the doctor says!

@Anastacia1 defos see it hopefully gets darker !

@30andTTC1 did you test again today?

I really think I'm out as well I have cramps bloated feel horrible not sure what's going on this month 😣

Elou26 · 12/06/2020 12:53

I'm still getting positive opks that's 3 days in a row now, after my positive on a clear blue opk last Wednesday!! I don't know what's going on 😭 if ovulated last week, this week or not at all! Sorry about the rant I'm feeling irritated and confused 😔 also I'm not pregnant bfn of frer. Probably just out and need to wait on my period 🙈

5 DPO and symptom spotting like crazy :)
30andTTC1 · 12/06/2020 13:03

Ah sorry to hear that @TheOrangeMonster :( Hopefully your next cycle wont be so long to O next month.

@Elou26 I havent tested again. I only have 1 stick left, so i'm going to hold out until af is due (Monday). Although, I might wait until Tuesday as last month I tested first thing the day she was due, and wasted a stick as she arrive at the same time!!

30andTTC1 · 12/06/2020 13:04

@Emlou26 that is strange that youve got positives twice in a month, and now for 3 days. Do you still have EWCM?

OP posts:
Elou26 · 12/06/2020 13:11

@30andTTC1 I had a lot of the EWCM 1st day 2nd day a wee bit and now today none 🤔 but still positive opks.

claireb707 · 12/06/2020 13:41

I reckon you didn't ovulate last time then and your b ody is trying again now

30andTTC1 · 12/06/2020 18:13

This is FAR tmi... but today my cm has changed from creamy, to watery. But not much of it at all.
I then checked my cervix position (sorry guys, you probably dont want to be reading this!!!) and it was really high up and very soft.
Im hoping that it is a good sign, as normally before af is due its lower and quite hard.
Could just be me being unfamiliar with my body, as I havent been checking it for very long and my body might be different to the 'norm'.
Lets see!

OP posts:
Elou26 · 12/06/2020 21:17

Hmm that's what I get during ovulation @30andTTC1. But ye the high cervix is defos a good sign if AF is due I would get an early test and test again 😂🙈

Elou26 · 13/06/2020 07:44

Opks are finally negative ! Don't know if we dtd enough but even if my period comes I'll be happy to see if my cycle is back to normal! Lol

Anastacia1 · 13/06/2020 08:14

Happy Saturday ladies who's testing this weekend? My line is darker this morning so then went to take digital and it didn't work nothing on screen at all 😫 I'm only 10/11DPO so don't think il let myself get excited until I've actually missed a period ... do I tell hubby now or wait until next Sunday for Father's Day ? If I can hold it that long ...

5 DPO and symptom spotting like crazy :)
Elou26 · 13/06/2020 08:25

@Anastacia1 the line is defos getting darker! Give it another couple of days for the digital they aren't as sensitive. You could wait till it comes up on the digital and put it in a wee box for Father's Day lol
