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?

Have you been using any apps to record your cycles and symptoms each day?

@30andTTC1 I don't have pcos I do have endometriosis I have been tested ovaries were fine. I usually get opks same time every month and I do have an 18 month old. Maybe it's been longer from having the positive tests last month then my period x

30andTTC1 · 10/06/2020 11:15

@Emlou26 oh sorry, I must have got confused!!
No harm in dtd tonight in case it is a late ovulation this month :)

Really don't want to get my hopes up too much

@30andTTC1 no probs 😊

@claireb707 ooh looks good 🤞🏻 I don't hold out much hope at all this month I feel like even if that was a positive opk today I'm to late to try as my partner won't get home till late tonight ☹️

Elou26 · 10/06/2020 12:36

Do you think if it is a positive opk today I still have a chance if we dtd tonight and tomorrow ? 🤔 or too late ☹️ guess it's just a waiting game x

claireb707 · 10/06/2020 12:42

I'd say you do still have a chance as ovulation occurs 12-36 hours after your surge (ie peak opk).

Elou26 · 10/06/2020 12:47

I have never used this brand before it's Tesco so I'm assume it looks positive lol. I tried to temp once before I had my son and I just couldn't get the hang of it. Maybe try it next month if I'm unlucky.

@claireb707 do you have anymore symptoms today? Has the heartburn came back at all?

Elou26 · 10/06/2020 12:50

@30andTTC1 have you had anymore symptoms are you testing this weekend?

@MrsLully anymore positive tests?

claireb707 · 10/06/2020 13:06

I'd say that's positive 😁😁👍👍
Try using the femometer app, you take a photo with the app and it tells you whether it's peak, high or low.

Nothing more today, every so often I think I've got a painful boob but then it stops

30andTTC1 · 10/06/2020 13:11

@Emlou26 I have some dull pains (not really pain if you know what I mean!) but could just be af about to arrive.
My boobs are still killing me and have done for over a week now. they usually only get sore a few days before im due. They are quite big lol, so isnt too unusual for them to hurt I guess!
I going to test on Sunday (due Monday) if I can hold out that long!

@claireb707 that drop looks lovely!! And at 9dpo certainly looks like a good sign! Fingers crossed for you. When are you going to test?

OP posts:
MrsLully · 10/06/2020 13:11

@Elou26 I got another positive, but still really faint...

5 DPO and symptom spotting like crazy :)
claireb707 · 10/06/2020 13:14

@30andTTC1 I'm only 7 DPO today, will to hold out as long as possible I think but guess it depends on symptoms

30andTTC1 · 10/06/2020 13:25

@claireb707 sorry I meant 7, I wrote 9 but that was the date! Definitely looks promising.

@MrsLully really good that there is a line there 🤞 give it a few more days and hopefully it will be a bit stronger. Are you going to try a digital one on or after you are due?

OP posts:
Elou26 · 10/06/2020 13:25

@MrsLully that's looks darker than the last one you sent ! That's a good sign.

@claireb707 oh that sounds better than the way I was trying to do it 😂 I will look into it!

@30andTTC1 you are doing well I would of broke out the FRER by now 🙈😂

Elou26 · 10/06/2020 13:27

@MrsLully I meant to say I always got faint lines on those test with my son it took me till 17dpo to get a dark like have you tried another test?

30andTTC1 · 10/06/2020 13:50

Boots had sold out of FRER when I went, so I got CB early detect, which from what Ive read isnt as accurate early as it makes out!
Im tempted to get next day deliveries on some cheapies!!

OP posts:
claireb707 · 10/06/2020 13:54

@MrsLully a line is a line and that's a clear line!

claireb707 · 10/06/2020 14:07

Hints of heartburn again. Nothing to do with eating half a pack of these of course Oh no no way 😂😂

Elou26 · 10/06/2020 14:24

@30andTTC1 I quite like the cb early ones mines have always been stark white unless I was pregnant. If I were you I would be breaking it open just now 😂😂.

@claireb707 they look sooo good 🤣 I'm eating out of boredom now because I'm fed up with the opks 😂😂

MrsLully · 10/06/2020 14:33

Thank you all for your reassurance, it means a lot 🙂 I've never actually tested with a digital and I'm curious to be honest, as if this pregnancy goes on this will be my last baby. If I keep getting lines I'll try in a few days I think! I'm currently 14 DPO I think.

30andTTC1 · 10/06/2020 14:41

I think Im going to test tomorrow morning then! Ill be 11 dpo, so hopefully might show something if I am. Im tempted to test today now, but I know I have drank too much water today that there is no point.

If its a BFN, ill buy a box of Lindor @claireb707 Grin

OP posts:
Elou26 · 10/06/2020 14:46

@30andTTC1 I would defos be testing tomorrow 🤞🏻😂

If I'm just ovulating today/tomorrow I'll be back to 1dpo Friday ☹️😂 my body is playing games this month 😂

MrsLully · 10/06/2020 17:49

Soo I'm starting to have very pre AF like cramps... 😭

claireb707 · 10/06/2020 18:18

I keep getting a sharp cramping like pain around ovary type area. Its not a nice feeling 😢
