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?

Just updating
So this morning I poas, negative still would only be roughly 7/8dpo so I'm still testing too early
Woken up with a sore throat and I'm shattered
Checked for any brown/pink discharge this morning and nothing so if that's the end of that its possible I had IB

X

@lelrx Sounds still too early for a positive test then. Keep us updated next couple of days won't you?

The temptation to test is real! I'm somewhere between 5-7dpo today tho so in reality wayy too early. My original plan was to hold out til AF. It's gonna be tough 😬

@Toastedsesame it's so tough isn't it! Maybe use an IC and get it out of your system 😂

@lelrx I wouldn't worry it's still super early, same as me!

I decided to POAS today. I needed to see the BFN after yesterday, if I'd waited until later in the week after the line yesterday I'd have been all over the place. Now I've had a BFN I feel I am ok to wait until Friday.

I haven't been feeling great yday or today. Very dizzy and tired. Not even symptom spotting, in fact I feel too dizzy to symptom spot 😂😂 cramps are gone and boobs aren't sore (they weren't with last pregnancy until about 8 weeks or so) so I guess the only "symptoms" I'm conscious of in my zombie like state are that I've broken out in sore spots, cervix has gone high and I've got a bit of a cold yesterday and today along with the dizziness. No major jump in temp but staying high

Today is just extreme tiredness. I woke up at 8:30am and I’m exhausted. I normally have really bad fatigue just before my period but it shouldn’t start this early. I’m still have weird cramps. I’m holding out until mid next week to test. But I’ll order some tests from Amazon Sunday night to distract me.

So since this morning I went back to my flo app from when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter
I think I DTD and conceived around 10th September 2018, I did the test and confirmed positive on the 23rd September so that was plenty of time in between, the line on the test wasn't faint but it could've been stronger too so I know Im probably just way too early
I didn't have any implantation bleeding with her

I've been having more frequent bowel movements too so when I go the spotting is being forced out a little more I guess so when I just went to the loo I wiped and had pinky brown discharge with some darker brown bits
I did take a pic if anybody wants to see or has had IB and can advise

Period not due for another 9 days

Feel like a very dull cramp today but also could be my imagination 😂

Resisting the urge to test here too but I know the earliest I can is Friday so trying to distract myself.

I’m 32 and this will be baby number 3 for us so I’d thought I’d be more relaxed about the whole thing but nope!

@cosmicmonkey
What tests are you planning on using? I don't know which ones are best if you are testing early x

@lelrx - I am going to use the First Response ones as that’s what I used for my DD and it did give me a positive before my period was due but I can’t remember how many days before as she is almost 5! The instructions say from 6 days before missed period.

Thanks @Toastedsesame, I hope this is a lucky thread for all of us!

Seems like everyone is in with a good chance with all these symptoms. There must be a good chance of a BFP here surely?!

I'm 6dpo and I have a zigzag pattern still. Don't know what to make of it. Not been tempted to test as it is early but usually have a POAS urge around 8/9dpo!

Chart attached!

@cosmicmonkey
I didn't go through this with my little one as I didn't even consider I could have been pregnant I was too busy with last minute wedding prep, I only tested because a few minor things had happened, I didn't even tell my husband that I was doing it, pretty sure it was just a cheap supermarket test xx

Yes with our first we just let things happen, no tracking or anything whereas with this and our second I’ve been a bit more aware of timings and ovulation

5dpo today and feel like times dragging. Just been having cramping but I feel like it’s all in my head and I can’t even remember if I usually get this after ovulation 🙄 at this point I’m trying to not get my hopes up. I go back to work 12th April so I’d love to be pregnant by then. I was pregnant about ten years ago when I was 18 which I sadly terminated, I don’t really remember having much symptoms other than maybe cramps because I was convinced I was going to be coming on my period. Hard to remember 😂 hoping I don’t get karma for the termination though.

Hope everyone gets their positives ❤️

@lelrx feel free to post pics if you like, no such thing as tmi. I had implantation bleeding with my first but it was literally just 1 spot of blood and some browny / pink cm.

@Catmum55566 my chart is very spikey still too. I'll attach it here. FF now saying I ovulated cd19, but honestly I think it was cd17 or 18.

@Toastedsesame cd 17 or 18 seems more likely with your cm, but you were unwell around then so temp may not have picked it up! Also it has dashed crosshairs (like mine) so FF isn't totally sure on what day it was, it might be easier in terms of testing to assume it was cd19! I still feel like death 😭 I've 4 hours of law lectures after work for next three evenings that I can't miss. If anything at least it might help the week go faster. Testing Friday at cd11

@Fifi1086 think that is probably wise, yeah! I hope if it was cd19, DTD 2 days before was enough.

That's good you have a distraction but that sounds like hard work! My toddler didn't nap today and I'm majorly lagging, he keeps asking me to play and I'm like "mummy needs 5mins quiet time" 😂

This is my last bit this morning, started Sunday morning and has been as much as that and also less at times only a few times a day, not every time I go to the toilet x

It's like stringy brown if that makes sense? It looks abit clotty on the picture but it wasn't, the browny bits are like a really sticky stringy kind of texture, not sure if that makes sense x

@lelrx it's really hard to say, some people only get a few spots and others mistake it for their AF, I normally get a day or two of brown and pink spotting before AF, but it is always followed by AF! To me this looks like how AF starts for me but if it's stopped for you then hopefully a good sign

@fifi1086 I'm still getting bits so not fully stopped, AF isn't due for another 9 days, I have no idea what's going on. Stresses me out so much! X

@Toastedsesame. Hmm I am not sure about FF saying the 19th. I agree that your chart suggests you ovulated before. I originally got O marked as CD23 until FF moved it on 3dpo. That means I was on 3dpo two days in a row, as if I need the TWW to go slower!

@lelrx I don't know much about spotting as I either have full flow or nothing. Seems promising though if you don't usually have it.

All my 'symptoms' have disappeared. No creamy cm and only mild cramps. Skin is also back to normal. I assume I just had a hormone suge post-o!

@catmum55566 I don't actually know when I've ovulated either, I just can't see my period coming 12 days early, but then weirder things have happened so I'll just have to wait, so horrible being in the unknown isn't it xx

@lelrx I think it does look like possible implantation bleeding. From my experience ovulation bleeding is less, and it's more pinky.

@Catmum55566 that is majorly annoying isn't it!? I am somewhere between 5-7 dpo but I'm gonna say 5 and see how I go. I've got another two spots!! I never get spots and these are both on my chin so thinking hormonal.

Do you check your cervical position at all?

Something made me take an opk just out of curiosity and it's blank.
