4/5 dpo - anyone want to symptom spot?

184 replies

Fifi1086 · 16/03/2021 20:39

So I swore that I wouldn't symptom spot this month but here I am! I'm cycle 3 and 4/5 dpo. I took soya isoflavones this month to bring O forward from day 21 of 29 day cycle. It worked and I ovulated day 15 or 16! I've never got past 9dpo before AF arriving so if I get to 10 or 11 dpo I'll test!

Anyone around same stage as me? Would be great to irrationally symptom spot with someone!

I'm 7DPO 5today I've been symptom spotting since 4DPO. CD26. AF due on Tuesday or Wednesday.

So far for me I've felt sick Saturday night, Sunday & yesterday and a little bit tonight but the main thing has been my boobs being so sore and hot since 4DPO. Normally I get sore boobs maybe a week before AF but not 10 days before. Hoping it's not a coincidence. I have also been a horrible person since Saturday, and I feel like I could either scream or cry......!!!

Love irrational symptom spotting 😂😂

Hello! I'll join you, I am 4dpo. I have quite long cycles and got my positive opk on cd19 (actually quite early for me). We are ttc number 2. Have a ds who is 2.5. This was our first month trying and he took 18 cycles so I'm expecting it too take a good while again but that won't stop me symptom spotting 😂😂 x

Fifi1086 · 16/03/2021 20:53

Yay! Welcome both to the insanity club. I know,logically, symptoms shouldn't really happen yet but my god I've had such cramps today and yesterday. Today's ones are radiating down my leg too which only happens the first day of AF. I've also had a lot of (TMI) what I can only describe as snot like CM since O, and I'd usually have dried up by now. I've heard that the increase in progesterone can cause cramping though so could just be that! I'm going to test Monday I just hope I make it that far without the witch arriving!

I had an identical cycle to you @Fifi1086 . I think I will try soy iso next cycle to try and bring ovulation earlier. I'm glad it worked for you Smile

I am 5dpo and symptom spotting (of course) I have had sore boobs today and some cramping but it is probably AF getting ready to arrive on Saturday like last month Sad

Dreamer30 · 16/03/2021 21:14

Am I okay to join please ladies?

I'm 5dpo and the cramp I'm feeling right now is horrendous! Also have heavy boobs. I know it's too early for any real symptoms but I usually only have cramp around O or before AF.

AF isn't due until the 26th and it feels like forever away lol

Dreamer30 · 16/03/2021 21:15

@RoseP123 I have exactly the same symptoms as you but I'm not due for another 10 days

RoseP123 · 16/03/2021 21:17

@Dreamer30 sounds positive Smile I don't think I have a chance, my luteal phase was only 8 days last month so I'm expecting AF on SaturdaySad

Fifi1086 · 16/03/2021 21:18

@RoseP123 definitely worth a try if this cycle doesn't work out! @Dreamer30 glad I'm not the only one with awful cramps! I don't normally get sore boobs until day before AF, although with my last pregnancy (12 years ago) I had zero symptoms other than being tired.

I literally tried everything this month from supplements to the ferti-lily so I'm really hoping but equally trying to be laid back about it (yeah right)

Dreamer30 · 16/03/2021 21:19

@RoseP123 fx for you this month! It's so hard to stay positive at times, I know

Dreamer30 · 16/03/2021 21:23

@Fifi1086 I'm exactly the same! Just got over the pain of sore boobs with AF and it's back already. They just feel heavy and sensitive but I know from googling all these symptoms that they mean other things too. Just hate the tww! I never last waiting to test 🙈

Fifi1086 · 16/03/2021 21:29

@Dreamer30 I bought a load of internet cheapies to satisfy my POAS addiction. I refuse to buy any decent tests until around 12 dpo. Realistically if I make it that long I'll be pregnant as I've a short luteal phase. Even if it's a bit longer from O being brought forward, AF is due on 12 dpo

Janxyb · 16/03/2021 21:37

I've bough lots of internet cheapies aswell 😂 I spent an absolute fortune on tests last time we were trying ttc. I just can't help myself and will definitely be testing at 7dpo 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
I have absolute no symptoms at the moment except maybe a few tiny twinges I may have imagined, it's still early days though as af not due til the 26th x

Fifi1086 · 16/03/2021 22:15

@Janxyb I'm only lying to myself I'll definitely end up testing from 7dpo, I'll never learn! It's crazy how you expect it to just happen right away. I got pregnant from missing one pill when I was 21, yet at 34 I'm 3 months off the pill and nada 😂

I will join! I think I’m 5DPO but could be 10dpo as stopped temping as ovulation was incredibly late by 20ish days! And of course when I stopped tracking I bloody ovulated and didn’t DTD for a week but going by hornyness, Cm and cramps we managed 2 days.

No real symptoms here just a few cramps and headache.

Little worried if I do catch this cycle as we conceived exactly around this time last year and had a mmc and troublesome issues after, so if we do then I’ll have a similar due date.

Tbh I don’t think this is the month due to the BDing.

Sticky dust ladies x

lucea87 · 17/03/2021 09:17

I've been doing cheapies cos I'm a POAS psycho 😂😂 negative obvs. I feel sick again today, head ache too but boobs feel less sore. I'm gonna do a FRER on Friday I think

Fifi1086 · 17/03/2021 09:24

@Redpanda21 welcome! You never know, it only takes one time so you could have caught it!

@lucea87 will Friday be 10dpo? I'd probably do a FRER then too if I managed to make it that far!

Yes! 10DPO on Friday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

RoseP123 · 17/03/2021 11:41

I wish I had bought some cheapies - does anyone recommend any? @Fifi1086 @lucea87 I have a FRER at home, but trying not to use that before Saturday. Even then I will only be 9 DPO so still early, that's if AF hasn't arrived before then.

Faint headache today, sore nipples. Don't know if i keep getting mild waves of sickness or whether i'm just imagining it - probably the latter!

Fifi1086 · 17/03/2021 11:55

@RoseP123 I got the one step cheapies, they're quite sensitive at 10mlU! Hopefully all those signs are positive for you!!

I'm 5/6 dpo today and still cramping. Got amazing news this morning that my friend who has had a serious of miscarriages over the last year, is 11 weeks pregnant and all well on her first scan! So so pleased for her

OP posts:
RoseP123 · 17/03/2021 12:10

thanks @Fifi1086 i'll have to have a look! will you be testing this weekend? I swore I wasn't going to be like this this month, but then it gets to the TWW and I turn into a woman possessed! haha

Aw that is lovely news - congrats to your friend Smile

Fifi1086 · 17/03/2021 12:27

@RoseP123 I'll test Sunday if I've no AF by then! I just had a teeny streak of blood in my cm... could be nothing but hoping it's a good sign!

OP posts:
RoseP123 · 17/03/2021 12:37

@Fifi1086 Oh fingers crossed it is a good sign! I have just ordered some tests, being optimistic but we will see!

Janxyb · 17/03/2021 14:52

I use the one step cheapies too. Just had another delivery of them today 🙃 Still no symptoms here but I don't think that implantation would have even occurred yet lol x

Dreamer30 · 17/03/2021 15:23

Anyone else have seriously bad cramp? It won't shift for me lol been in a bad mood all day 🤣 still have heavy sore boobs too. 6dpo today and I know those symptoms are too early to mean anything but AF isn't due until 26th so it's too early for those symptoms too. This is why the tww is hell! Lol

Redpanda21 · 17/03/2021 18:25

I changed my settings in FF and it’s saying I’m 6DPO today, hoping that’s the case as then I’ve DTD over my fertile days.

My temps have been super steady past few days too.

Had a really nauseous day and had a headache all day. Still too early for any symptoms though so chalking up to my head! 😂
