5 DPO and symptom spotting like crazy :)

[30andTTC1]

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
Anyone else 5dpo and having any symptoms?

Aww @TheOrangeMonster I'm feeling the same.
You are not out until AF shows though!
Dont be hard on yourself

You're not out yet orange monster! Especially if you're not feeling how you usually do this time of the month
I was literally up all night with the worst heart burn I've ever had, and basically slept all day tonight 😞 hopefully tonight will be a bit better!!

@30andTTC1 I’m sorry you’ve been having a rough time with the indigestion. Hopefully it’s all in a good cause!
I found a stray FRER wedged behind the shelf in the bathroom that escaped the hidden hoard and now I’m not sure whether I should test tomorrow (10dpo) (yep, this is why I get DH to hide them).

Thank you, hopefully it is!
Try to hold out until 4 days before af is due to make an appearance. Your secret stash may be wasted otherwise as you're probably going to be a bit too early to test! You've got this girl!

Hey guys, could I borrow your eyes please?

@MrsLully I see a vfl if I move the screen round a bit... How many dpo are you?

@SaraTTC2020 I'm 11 or 12 DPO and that's a frer. It does look pink in real life, but it's so faint I can't be sure it's not just wishful thinking...

It’s a squinter, but I can see a line!! I hope it gets darker over the next few days!

Looks promising to me! Take another in the next few days and keep up posted! 11-12 dpo is still early, so not surprised its faint.
Fingers crossed for you! xx

How are the rest of you ladies getting on today? Any other symptoms or tests?

@TheOrangeMonster did you manage to hold off testing today?

@30andTTC1 I did, I convinced myself it would be negative whatever the situation and held off! I have it to DH so the temptation is removed.
I had some very low level AF-type cramping this evening. Sort of heaviness. To be clear, I never get cramps until the day the bleeding starts - they come on either a couple of hours before or as I go to the loo for the first time in the morning, so to feel anything similar, even if it’s just a ghost of a cramp, is a bit weird. That said, it could have been the burrito I had for dinner masquerading as my uterus, so who knows? I long ago stopped holding out much hope for these things!
Anyone else having any symptoms?

Thanks guys! I took a Boots early response and I can see a better line there. It's still early and I'm trying not to get excited...
I've had a massive headache all day and now I'm feeling slightly nauseous as well

This is the Boots one

@MrsLully I’m so excited for you!

Oh wow @MrsLully congratulations

@TheOrangeMonster I've also had low level cramps today, I never normally get them till the afternoon of the first day of my period 🤞

Hey can I jump on ... I am ttc #1 this is our first proper cycle but think we had a chemical last month I'm what I think to be 6dpo boobs have been sore for last few days which is what happened last month to make me test ... yesterday and today I've been so tired literally napping any chance I could ...headachey and drinking lots of water ... period isn't due until 18th x

Thanks guys! We'll see what happens!
@Anastacia1 welcome!

How exciting @MrsLully! That line is much stronger than the first you did (and I assume wasn't with first urine either!)
Are you going to test again in the morning, or wait another day?
Hopefully your nausea gets a little better for you x

@Anastacia1 welcome! Sorry to hear about last month. I hope you're doing ok.
I'm ttc #1 as well, this will be cycle 6. Are you using any apps to track your cycle?

@TheOrangeMonster you've not felt how you usually do before af, and no cramps earlier than you usually would. Fingers crossed they are all good signs!! Fingers crossed for you too @claireb707!

My boobs are still crazy sore, and I'm still knackered all the time, but the heart burn has gone which is good! I think I'm starting to feel normal pms now, so we'll see if this is the month or not.

TMI warning... but what is everyone cm like?? Mine is usually quite dry post O, but it's very creamy. Not much of it, it's quite lightly. Not enough to touch my undies, only know from checking and wiping. Sorry for the tmi!!

@MrsLully that's Deffo a line!!! Congrats!!!!

I'm current still very nauseous & still have killer heartburn for the 3rd day in a row! I'm 7dpo so not sure what's going on - I know it's definitely toooo soon for symptoms 😩😭

Hey :) , I’m currently 4/5 dpo I had a chemical pregnancy last month. TTC number 2 I will probably test on Saturday! The tww goes by so slow lol x

Congrats @MrsLully !

Hello new ladies!
@30andTTC1CM off and on - yesterday none, today a fair bit.
Has anyone here been trying for 12 cycles or longer? Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on how to stay sane with this. I’m wishing everyone early on in their journeys SO much luck, I really really hope you ladies hit the jackpot straight away.

@TheOrangeMonster don't let the cramping put you down I had it with my first son it was so bad at some points I definitely thought AF was coming! I got a faint but visible positive at 9dpo on a first response with him. When do you plan to test ?

@30andTTC1 my CM is white and showing on my undies I can't remember what it is like usually at this time though 🙈😂

@TheOrangeMonster were cycle 10 do getting that way 😢

@Emlou26 mines white and creamy, also can't think what it's like normally

@Emlou26 thanks. Every time so far all my symptom spotting has just been in my mind, so I tend to be a bit hard in myself. I will test on Friday but only if AF doesn’t arrive on schedule. Despite PCOS making my cycles all willy-nilly, my periods themselves are really regimented. Always 6 days, always arrive as soon as I get up out of bed etc etc, as long as I can remember! So if it gets to lunchtime on Friday and no AF I’ll POAS.....
