Anyone 3-6dpo and want to share ridiculous symptom spotting / poas urges?

Hi! :)

I'm 4dpo today. Had a mc last cycle so this cycle is all over the place. My boobs are currently so sore it is making me (probably foolishly) hopeful.

I'd love to get a thread running for some support. Anyone want to join?

@CosmicMonkey Yep that looks like a positive to me!! :-)

BrodieKD · 02/03/2021 08:35

@CosmicMonkey ahh looks positive to me!!! Exciting

lelrx · 02/03/2021 08:46

Congratulations @cosmicmonkey!

I've not tested today as I've ran out, AF is due Thursday, may just hold out until then and see if it arrives! Xx

Catmum55566 · 02/03/2021 08:55

I agree this is positive, congratulations @CosmicMonkey!!

@Toastedsesame oh yes I had every symptom under the sun in the last cycle 😂 At least I know to ignore them next time I get to the TWW!

@CosmicMonkey how many dpo are you? Noticed that you had a negative on Monday and then a positive xxx

CosmicMonkey · 02/03/2021 09:49

Thank you everyone - I was so convinced it wasn’t my month that I’m feeling a bit shocked this morning!

@Mum2Girls19 - I’m 13dpo and period due tomorrow or Thursday, this is the first time anything showed up

Mum2Girls19 · 02/03/2021 10:02

@CosmicMonkey Have you taken another today??
My periods are usually due around 14 dpo
so I might wait untill 12 dpo like you :)

CosmicMonkey · 02/03/2021 10:07

@Mum2Girls19 - no I’m going to wait to tomorrow and use FMU and hopefully it will be a stronger line.

Fingers crossed for you - how many dpo are you now?

Mum2Girls19 · 02/03/2021 10:13

@CosmicMonkey
I am 9 dpo today but not due on till next Monday...

Amazing @CosmicMonkey they say it happens when you least expect it.

This is my line progression up until yesterday. Crazy how faint the one step cheapies are compared to the clear blue.

@Toastedsesame - that clear blue one is a good strong line! I really thought I wasn’t so was planning on picking up some Malibu when I was next out. The test I used Monday was just a cheap one from our local shop and didn’t show anything.

@Mum2Girls19 - fingers crossed for you then this weekend

lelrx · 02/03/2021 11:06

@cosmicmonkey that's given me hope, I'm 13dpo today and had negatives, I've not tested today but probably will tomorrow!
Did you have any noticeable symptoms the past few days before your BFP, I feel like my symptoms have eased off xx

CosmicMonkey · 02/03/2021 12:19

@lelrx - I felt a little sick yesterday morning but put it down to not having had breakfast as I’d had a negative test also usually my boobs are really sore the week my period is due and I didn’t get that this time.

dulci379 · 03/03/2021 12:38

Sorry to jump on this thread, and apologies in advance for pictures and overall TMI! Never thought I’d be one of those people yet here we are 😂 I am currently TTC and for the first time had some pink bleeding 1/2 dpo, haven’t ever had that before so was a bit worried. These pics show how it’s changed day by day (sorry but so many threads try and describe the bleeding and it’s hard to). This has been 6 days now of pink cm and spotting every day, which is so out of the ordinary for me. I’m 7dpo, due AF a week today. I always spot for a few days before AF so wouldn’t have expected spotting to begin for another 4 days. My normal pre AF spotting is usually brown and quite dark not like this. This has really puzzled me and I just feel worried and sad like I’ve been out for the month since 1/2dpo. Any thoughts? Obviously way too early to be implantation bleeding as it started pretty much day after ovulation, does anyone think this is ovulation bleeding? Would it last this long? Sorry to jump on your thread again!

@dulci379 Hi! its really hard to say, as everyone is different but personally I think it looks like ovulation bleeding. I have it now and then and sometimes it carries on for 4/5 days, sometimes its quite a lot, sometimes its little and sometimes I don't get it at all but generally it is always pink just like yours with a few specks of red early on. Do you get ovulation pain at all?

dulci379 · 03/03/2021 13:55

@Toastedsesame thanks so much for your reassurance. I do, very strong pangs / pains on the side that the egg is releasing from. I had those pains on Weds 24th, bleeding started Friday 26th. Will just have to see how long it continues for, thanks for getting back to me x

Noo3833 · 03/03/2021 15:28

Hello all, hope you don’t mind me all joining in the fun and games. According to my app I’m 1dpo but I think I’m only ovulating today as my ovulation strip is the darkest it’s been this afternoon (darker than mid mornings!) so I’m guessing today is the day! X

Katiekattty · 03/03/2021 16:03

I’m officially out for this month. I’ve just started spotting so AF will be here in a couple days. I’m wondering whether I should try using OPKs this month or try another month with just Clue/Flo app and then buy them.

Mum2Girls19 · 03/03/2021 16:23

Ok so im 10 dpo...took a test this morning...negative

Still got slight cramps and my boobs hurt so much...this started today, they feel dead hot and have sharp pains in one of them which makes me hold them...they are sensitive too..

Could this be a sign?

My temp is still up too??

But im put off because 10 dpo and it was negative...

BrodieKD · 03/03/2021 16:42

@Mum2Girls19 I am exactly the same today. Taken a test today but negative. I feel sick, crampy and just not 100% but I think it's the stress of hoping for a line. I don't think this is my month but still got a few days until af is due so trying to keep positive. Fingers crossed we get some lines in the next couple of days x

Noo3833 · 03/03/2021 17:05

@Katiekattty hi Katie definitely give them a go I recommend the easy at home brand it’s been fantastic! I’ve got an app that you can download for free I’ll attach a photo which shows!

Anyone 3-6dpo and want to share ridiculous symptom spotting / poas urges?
Katiekattty · 03/03/2021 17:19

@Noo3833 I’ll look them up and do an Amazon order. I’m consoling myself that I didn’t want a December birth anyway 🤣

Catmum55566 · 03/03/2021 17:19

Great lines @Toastedsesame!

How are you doing @CosmicMonkey?

@Katiekattty I agree with @Noo3833 premom is a great app for opks. If I had gone of my apps the first few months I would have been out with ovulation. They were predicting CD16 when in fact it is usually CD20!

@Mum2Girls19 10dpo is still early. The high temp is a good sign. Fingers crossed for you!

CosmicMonkey · 03/03/2021 18:21

@Mum2Girls19 - I had a negative at 10dpo, it’s still early.

@Catmum55566 - today’s test didn’t look any stronger but there was definitely still a faint line and my period hasn’t started so Im cautiously starting to get excited
