Wishful symptom spotting

[Fallulah]

I used to post in here regularly but took some months out as it was making me a bit unhappy/obsessive. In that time we found out DH’s diabetes had got a lot worse, which it turned out was contributing to tiredness/lack of interest in bed etc. He’s now properly drugged and wow our life has changed! We BD-ed at the right times this month and I’m now 5/6 DPO. Yesterday and today I have had the weirdest achey leg and pinching/cramping on the one side (the “right” side as I actually only have the one ovary but it is working). I feel bloated.

It’s too early for any of these to be meaningful symptoms, isn’t it?

I know exactly what you mean, I love this page and the positive communication I've had with other ladies in my position, but lordy its hard not to read into everything and compare your journey with others.

So sorry to hear that your husband has had it tough with diabetes but amazing that he is getting sorted with the meds that are obviously doing the job!

I get wierd achey legs too, its usually the day before my af and its how I knew (in the past when I wasn't obsessive tracking) it was due to arrive. But this month I had them really early at 10 and 11 DPO. AF is only due 17DPO. I've tested yesterday and today (13DPO) and stark white BFN. Its so hard isn't it?
When do you plan to start testing? I hope you are more patient than me haha.

I hope you get your BFP 💜

Thank you! Yes I get the leg ache the day before AF usually but this is stronger.

I’m quite good with testing - I made a decision early on not to test until my period was actually late and I’ve only had to test twice (and both times it turned up that might!)

*night

I wish I had your self control!!🤣

I know 5/6 DPO is early for symptoms, like you said, but I think you know your own body and I've seen a tonne of success stories on here with people having symptoms from really early doors.

🤞🏻 when you do test you get BFP.

They weren’t symptoms! 😞
Onwards and upwards for next month 🤞

@Fallulah oh im sorry, its so rubbish I know 😔.

Hope you are okay.

Sending love and baby dust for your next cycle 💜
