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?

@Toastedsesame haha that's funny as I did exactly the same with an OPK earlier - it was also blank. Don't know what I was expecting.

No I find the cervix checking a mindfield! I have a retrovered uterus so might make it harder to, not really sure. What should it be like post-ovulation?

@Toastedsesame and @Catmum55566 I check cervical position every day and have a pretty good sense of it now! At ovulation cervix is high soft and open, after ovulation it lowers slightly and firms up and then opens slightly for period. If you're pregnant it'll be kind of soft but closed and high.

At 8dpo mine is mid way up, closed and between soft and firm. Something I noticed today which really has thrown me and apologies for the tmi, but the walls of my vagina have become so closed in and almost swollen and walls have got spongey to the point I could hardly check my cervix... how weird is that!!!

I do check mine @Catmum55566 but it seems to move around a lot! It has been really high last few days and I definitely felt it open on ovulation tho.

@Fifi1086 Perfect explanation! The thing about yr vagina feeling tight is a really common thing in early pg! I had it a lot in my last cycle and I have had it once or twice this time but it hasn't lasted.

Okay so... 4dpo

I'm vegan and today craved a Big Mac and ate one. Hoping this is a pregnancy sign otherwise I feel soooo bad haha

Omg @Jackitty surely it must be a sign!

Has to be a sign

Hi all could I get any thoughts on my chart!? Is this looking ok? 8dpo today I think. Had a drop 2 days ago and today it’s rocketed. Or is that just normal with every cycle!?
Tested every day last month from about 6dpo so think I’m going to try and hold off today 12dpo. That white stick just depresses me but I still crave it!

@nadsc just read your post. I’m in the exact same position. V sad termination many years ago and now actually wanting to be pregnant for the first time so hoping it isnt karma that it’s proving so difficult :-(

@Toastedsesame @Fifi1086 sounds like you are cervix pros! I had a poke about and can't tell what is going on 😂. I will stick to the temping and opks.

@Jackitty hopefully this is a sign!!

@coffee1988 and @nadsc sorry to hear about your experiences with the terminations but please don't beat yourselves up. It is better to start a family when you are ready too.

@coffee 1988 your chart is looking very promising!!

7dpo here and time is going so slowly. I have woken up with a sensitive right boob. This could just be my body playing tricks, time will tell!

BFN again this morning! Woke up wee'd and wiped and no brown discharge today, if it carries on like that then seems like IB even more but could be just a fluke. Period due in 8 days, might re test on Friday although who am I kidding ill probably force my husband to the shops tonight 😂😂

@coffee1988 your chart looks great! The dip was potentially an implantation dip. As long as you stay on the rise, much like tracking resting heart rate. Mine dipped two nights ago at 7dpo and has been on the rise since (2 days before AF), normally it begins dropping 4 days before my AF. Let's be cautiously optimistic !

Morning everyone!

I've had loads of cramping this morning, legit feels like AF cramps but she's 8 days away 😬 also nipples feel sore and sensitive. Either 6,7 or 8 dpo today 😂

@lelrx I think all sounds promising. I'd hold off for 48h if you can!

@Catmum55566 it is massively confusing if you aren't used to feeling for it, and apparently it's pretty unpredictable so I wouldn't worry too much. Also yay for your one sensitive boob! 😂👏

@coffee1988 agree, chart looking good, nice high temps!

@TryingToNotTry that is so exciting, what dpo are you? have you tested yet or are you holding out?

My chart from today. Temps still high.

@coffee1988 I am 9dpo today and had some weird symptoms yesterday, like a burning/warming sensation across my uterus with mild cramping for a few hours. Also, my wee smells very ammonia-like which apparently is a thing according to Google.

Up until then I was worried as I had zero symptoms, but now that my resting heart rate is on the rise (which is unusual to every other month) and today I feel exhausted and a bit nauseous, I am tempted. That said, I don't want to get my hopes up nor be disappointed, so I think I will wait for the next two days, but let's see!

Are you having any symptoms?

@Toastedsesame your chart also looks promising, and your symptoms are a good sign I think

@TryingToNotTry oh wow that so exciting. So I think you're basically a day ahead of me. I was originally going to try and hold off until Sunday but have a feeling I'll probably cave sooner. Sounds like most of us will be hitting up the tests early weekend. Although at least not knowing I can sort of pretend I could be, that bare white stick is just so disappointing so in some ways want to delay what's probably likely.

And nope! I've had zero symptoms. Sore boobs but I quite often get that so not really sure I can count it sadly. So interesting about the ammonia smell, I've not heard that before so another sign for me to frantically watch out for!

@TryingToNotTry thank you. Fingers crossed. Your symptoms sound good! I can understand holding off to test, I find looking at a bfn is worse disappointment for me than AF arriving.

@Toastedsesame 😂 yes I really am clutching at straws! They are a bit veiny but don't know if they are usually like this at this point in my cycle. I have had a bit of egg white cm as well, no idea what's that about. My temps are still high so hoping this means I did ovulate and it wasn't a false surge!

I am entering my POAS danger zone. I'd like to say I will wait until 10dpo but I most likely will start with cheapies tomorrow. It's pointless but can't help myself. Also need to stop my asprin soon if AFs coming as it can make flow worse...any excuse!!

@toastedsesame I hate being in the unknown 😂 driving me crazy now x

Morning guys! 9dpo today, getting there! Not testing til Friday at 11DPO. I woke up today and was so tired I couldn't get out of bed. This is soo not normal for me I wake up and get up the same time every day, even weekends. I have also broken out in really sore spots and my boobs are achey.
I've a headache and cramps and to quote DP "Jesus you look like sh*t" 😂😂

If I am not pregnant this month I am going to write a seriously strong worded letter to someone about all of these misleading symptoms!

Temp slightly down this morning but still high ish. Do people think this chart looks ok? I'd really have expected more of an increase.

Sounds promising for quite a few of us doesn’t it? The waiting really is the worst, I’m 7dpo now and trying to hold out until Saturday to test but may cave Friday!

@Catmum55566@lelrx well I have some cheapies arriving today so there is that temptation 😬

I think I will probably crack and test on Sunday. I’m going to look at getting some cheapies from Amazon. I have really weird cramps and my boobs are sensitive but that is normally going up AF. I still really exhausted and I was a bit nauseous last night I didn’t have dinner. Starting to wonder if I’m imagining things 😂😂😂. I need someone to invent a 2 dpo test.

I'm having light bleeding now so looks like I'm out this month. Absolutely devastated
