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

[Toastedsesame]

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?

Sounds promising @Catmum55566 hopefully ovulation time for you soon. Did you take soy this cycle, or last? I can't remember. If it was this cycle it may help with lengthening your LP, as I understand it a LP less than 10 days can be problematic (though not in every instance)

Yes I've booked a scan for 31st March so I'll be 8+3 approx then.

@DinkyGT So, for me sore boobs never happened before ovulation, always after. I think because of the progesterone rise.

@Catmum55566 I think I had 9 days of flashing smileys this month but I def started testing too early. I'm 2dpo even though FF says I'm 3dpo, I'm trying to totally forget about tww this time. I've never got past 9dpo before AF arrives so if it's not here by 12dpo then I'll test. We tried everything possible this cycle from vitamins to ferti-lily and the soy isoflavones, and I've the best looking chart I've ever had so far. If it's not my month I'll still be happy that my cycle seems to have regulated 😊

@Fifi1086 I've got everything crossed for you!

@Toastedsesame so exciting you've a scan booked! It'll fly in!

@Fifi1086 that does look like a good chart! Hopefully AF won't come but at least you can take the positives of a regulated cycle. Fingers crossed for a BFP or at least a long LP!

@Toastedsesame glad to hear everything is going well and it isn't too far till your scan! Are you having any more symptoms?

CD16 and no positive opk yet but getting unpleasant ovulation pain, worse than previous months. Hopefully the soy will lengthen my lp but doesn't seem to have done much else for this cycle. I am not sure if I will take it next month. My temp dropped very low this morning and I think my cervix.is high so I think ovulation is coming in a few days. Maybe a peak on cd19 but will see what happens!

How are you all doing girls?

@Toastedsesame. I logged on to ask the same thing! How many weeks are you now? Hopefully all is well?

I think the soy has messed up my cycle. I haven't had an opk higher than 0.5 but all my opks have been higher than usual. They are normally about 0.18 then I get a sudden surge. FF thinks I might have ovulated already but I don't think I have. Chart attached, I have sort of given up with it hence why the last 2 temps were taken later. No soy for me next cycle!!

Chart!

@Catmum55566 hmm really hard to say, but I would trust temps over OPK's. It does look like a clear temp shift. At least you've covered your bases.

I'm 7 weeks now, all going well I think just soo nauseous in the mornings. I can't stand my morning cups of tea anymore! 🤢

I feel like it's a wasted month as we didn't time DTD well if I have ovulated. Oh well onto trying for a 2022 baby next month!!

@Toastedsesame sorry to hear you are feeling sick but it is supposed to be a good sign! Not long till you can get your scan too! Has time being going slowly? It feels like it has gone quickly but I know when it's yourself the early days go slowly.

@Fifi1086 how are you doing?

@Catmum55566 thanks for asking! Not good unfortunately- AF here today. Despite bringing O forward, my LP stayed the same. I've been quite weepy today with the realisation that I can do everything correctly but with a short LP it's just not going to work. I've booked a gp appointment for tomorrow. I won't be leaving until he does bloods for me!!

@Fifi1086 I'm so sorry to hear that - sounds really hard. Definitely persist with the GP.

@Catmum55566 Doesn't look too bad to me! you DTD 2 and 3 days before "ovulation" not bad odds if you consider people conceive after DTD 5 and 6 days before.

@Catmum55566 and yes time is going soo slowly. I really can't wait to get my scan but this does feel like a good strong pregnancy, I've got the sorest boobs in the world and I feel grotty so taking that as a good sign for sure.

@Toastedsesame yes you're right, there is still a chance! I removed my cm data from yesterday and FF has given solid cross hairs...I got a 0.5 on an opk again earlier so who knows! Your symptoms sound really promising for a healthy pregnancy, although I am sure they are a pain!!

@Fifi1086 sorry to hear AF showed. How many cycles are you off the pill? The reason I ask is the first few cycles off the pill usually have a shorter LP. Also don't despair as I read up on this a few months back and found lots of ladies who got pregnant with short LPs. I have a short LP and I've been pregnant twice. I know mcs don't seem like the best advert for a short lp BUT I am not convinced my short lp was the issue that caused the mcs. I didn't have any bleeding or spotting after positive tests and only started to bleed once pregnancy tests were almost negative, i.e. after the pregnancy failed already. My temps also remained v high. It is worth speaking to the GP but just be prepared that most don't believe in short lps causing a problem. I would really recommend the H&B busy bee vit b tablets. You take them after ovulation.

Girls, I thought I would update.I finally have a positive opk!! Woo! So looks like it will be a CD28 ovulation day for me. My latest ever!! Not going near the soy again, it delayed things by 8 days. Anyway thanks @Fifi1086 for the chart help in the other thread I posted about it.

How is everyone doing?

@Catmum55566 sorry to hear your ovulation was so delayed! I'm on cd6 now. Doctor did day 3 bloods for me and I'll be back for day 21 bloods. Really hoping that my short LP is something that can be sorted!

@Fifi1086 oh that's brilliant your GP has been so helpful! When do you get the results?

@Catmum55566 Yikes, so sorry to hear that the soy was no good for you. I have heard it can go either way.

@Fifi1086 Glad the doctor is on to it for you, hopefully you can find out whats going on soon enough.

Hello again All! Hope everyone is well. Jumping back in here after giving it another month. Could really do with some opinions! Can anyone see the faintest line in history? I’m 12dpo today, had sore boobs and a weird full feeling for last 3 days or so

Hmm... these photos don’t really even show it... so frustrating!

@coffee1988 I think I can see something. Was it fmu?

@Toastedsesame yep fmu. So not exactly convincing! Oh well, I'll be left wondering for another couple of days. Will pick up some FRERs as I heard these clear blue ones can give indent lines. At least it's not a flat out no this month!

I'm 6dpo and starting to symptom spot. Ridiculous I know. That's me had cramps through the night, upset tum and now a headache this afternoon. I am probably giving myself a headache by thinking about it all too much 🙃 how is everyone feeling?

Well it turns out I wasn’t imagining a line! Def something there today! Today is 13dpo. Negative on an ic at 11dpo. Shadow of a line on a clear blue on 12dpo. Today definitely a line! Can’t quite believe it and terrified it’s going to disappear. Praying it sticks. Symptom wise mildly sore boobs but really nothing out of the ordinary and the main thing is for the last 3 or so days is I’ve had this full/heavy feeling in my uterus. Like really really mild cramps or like I’ve swallowed a stone and it’s sitting in my uterus. Very strange.

Amazing!! Congratulations @coffee1988 ! Sounds like all good signs. 🙌
