5 DPO, anyone else?

[ForGoldSloth]

I am currently 5 DPO and already feeling antsy.

This is our first cycle TTC since MC in May last year.

Anyone else 5 DPO and wanna wait impatiently here symptom spotting with me 😂

So I woke up this morning and had like a wave of sickness feeling ( wasn’t actually sick), had thick white CM , periods due on the 7th April, had sore breasts , and cramping in my back and stomach , pms signs or early pregnancy?

I’m trying to hold of till the 7th but not promising anything 😅, my CM has became quite thick white and creamy like , sore boobs , I also felt a bit sick this morning but wasn’t actually sick , iive felt a lot more tired than usual today and yesterday , my app says im 7dpo

@MerryBrickHelper no I don’t use that app, but I do track bbt! I use ff and ovusense! FF confirmed my ovulation date as the 23rd, but then changed it to the 26th with this mornings temp, but ovusense still hasn’t confirmed anything! Usually they both match each other, so it’s frustrating when they don’t! Really hoping I have actually ovulated, but my temp dropped a bit last night!😫 I’ll probably test a week Saturday if my period doesn’t arrive, but I’ve had really short LP the last couple of days!

Sorry months I mean!!

@Peonies94 it is all head wreck isn’t it!? Yesterday my BBT was 36.93, today it had plummeted to 36.53. So I had the hope yesterday and now today…! I’m trying to tell myself it was because I had to take today at 5.15 as I have to travel. Also trying to remind myself that it’s the first attempt after a MC so it is unlikely given how long it took to catch with that pregnancy!

@MerryBrickHelper aww it’s such an emotional journey isn’t it 😔 this is my chart. Fertility friend said I ovulated on CD19, then it changed to CD22 so instead of being 6DPO it was 3, but ovusense still hasn’t confirmed that I have ovulated, so I am thinking maybe I haven’t even ovulated yet? Arghh, hate when they both say different things!

How's everyone doing?
I am 10dpo and will be testing tomorrow AM 🤞

Fingers crossed for you. You have willpower I would have tested by now 😂 I'm only 5DPO and I'm getting the need to test already!

@Brookes19 good luck!! Make sure to update the thread tomorrow. Everything crossed for you!!!

I am ok- my BBT really dropped yesterday but today it’s gone up! Who knows!! Another 6 days until I test 🫣

@JNicko @MerryBrickHelper thank you 🩷 it's been a struggle! I usually have zero willpower. But last month after my MMC I was testing constantly and convincing myself lines were there. So I'm trying not to torture myself and hopefully if its positive tomorrow it will be clear x

@Brookes19 Good luck resting tomorrow 🤞🏻
We have been having lots of family days out over the last few days as well as today and tomorrow so I won't be testing until Tuesday at the earliest.

I have been having lots of thick, stringy mixed with creamy CM for the last few days, but that's it so I'm not feeling hopeful for this month.

Happy Easter 🐰🐣

@ForGoldSloth good luck for you testing too!!
I'm the same, keeping busy with easter days out and activities so it is going quite fast luckily!
Same with me, not many symptoms except lots of CM! X

@Brookes19 ohh good luck! I have no idea how many DPO I even am 😫! I think I’m going to hold off until next Saturday! Good luck though💕

I’m pretty sure creamy thick white CM is an early pregnancy symptom, from what I’ve read if you have conceived you dry up after ovulation. Some people swear by CM monitoring where others don’t pay any attention to it at all. When are you going to test?

Good luck with testing tomorrow , how many DPO will you be tomorrow ?
I will be 11 DPO, I haven’t had more CM then normal and we only dtd on ovulation day so I don’t think my chances are high this month but I’ve had some cramping/ pains/ lower back pain but could be my AF will show sooner than Thursday

I’m 6/7DPO and woke up to text book AF cramps so I think I’m out this month. It’s too early to be pregnancy symptoms. Feeling strangely sad about this meaning no baby in 2024. 2025 seems so far away 😔

BFN today 😢 really thought this would be the month. I think I am 11 DPO with AF due Thursday. So not completely put but its looking unlikely x

@Brookes19 so sorry to hear, but you still have a few more days for that to change! Implantation could only just be happening!
I think I’m 6DPO today, and I’m already getting so tempted with tests! I’m planning to hold out until Saturday if I can!

@Brookes19 i agree with @Peonies94 you are not completely out until AF comes! It may still be too early. Maybe retest tomorrow? xxx

@MerryBrickHelper @Peonies94 I will test again tomorrow, I don't use anything to track ovulation, just a guess so I could be less than 11dpo. Trying not to obsess on it too much but it's so hard 😫

@MerryBrickHelper hows your BBT looking? My temp thing has broken so not been able to bbt for two days, so I’m just left to guess with no ovulation confirmed now!

@Brookes19 may be a day or so off too! It is so hard not to obsess, I go so full force, can’t do it any other way, no matter how hard I try!

@Peonies94 it’s been 39.96, 36.53, 36.85 and today 36.75 so who knows! I find it all very confusing. I keep comparing it to my December month when I fell I pregnant and my temp isn’t as high as it was in Dec…but it could mean nothing?

@Brookes19 i find once I break the seal of testing I can’t stop - trying to really hold out until Saturday but it’s so tough to not test, once you start- it’s like eating Pringles. Hope you are ok? Xx

@MerryBrickHelper thank you! I've tested twice today amd both BFN! It really is an addiction. I feel really nauseous and have cramps so may be AF waiting to arrive! I'm trying to stay positive that maybe I ovulated later, but feel so down. I would have been 20 weeks this week with the baby I lost and desperately wanted to be pregnant to make that milestone feel easier!!

Hope you manage to hold on until Saturday and it's good news 🤞x

Any news on a test yet?? I’m holding off till next week to take mines

@Dhows yes BFN 😪 will try again tomorrow and every day until AF arrives (or hopefully doesnt). Good luck to you 🤞
