5dpo symptoms???

34 replies

Anniewayte91 · 07/04/2021 14:25

Feel a little silly writing this as I know it’s wayyyy to early but you never know. Just wondering if anyone had any symptoms 5dpo?? I was ovulating the same day I had intercourse and since yesterday I have had what feels like period pains but I’m not due on for another 10 days. They’re not as strong as my usual pre period pains( which I usually get about 3 days before I’m due on) but they include, lower back ache, thigh aches and the odd little twinge. Any thoughts would be appreciated smile not looking to be told “oh yes you could be pregnant” just wondering if anyone has experienced similar? Thank you

The embryo is only just becoming a blastocyst at 5dpo, it won't have begun to implant yet so unlikely it will be causing any symptoms xx

Too soon. Just relax and try not to overthink! I don’t know anyone who had symptoms before 5+ weeks let alone at 5dpo...

There is quite a few articles online with women saying they had period like symptoms days after ovulation. Just wanted different opinions 😊

I feel silly myself. I'm 5-6 days after ovulation. And I have a soft cervix , creamy discharge and sore boobs. It prob is unlikely but I don't think it's impossible x

It’s so hard not to symptom spot isn’t it! I had a little bit of spotting yesterday so tested this morning and it was negative. I’ve had really sore boobs the past few days but today nothing so feel a bit rubbish about that :( x

It's depended with mine. With a couple I felt fluttery churning/bubbling cramps right from ovulation and knew right from then (people say it's impossible but I know it's not!)

Then with one I felt nothing until like 10dpo - but on that day I remember I had this rush of extremely sore boobs all at once and just knew. I felt like it must have been implantation - that's my theory!

Then with this one I felt absolutely nothing until AF was already late - didn't even test before then because I was so sure it was coming.

So short answer is, yes and no!

We will have to keep each other updated. When's your period due ? I ovulated really late this time. Cd22. It was my first cycle since a mc in January. I was spotting a lot after my af had ended. Then once the spotting had stopped. I ovulated a few days later. It's very hard. I'm really positive this month. But just keep telling myself don't get upset if you're wrong. X

It’s so weird you say the rush of sore boobs!! I had a few spots of what I presume was implantation bleeding followed by the worst sore boobs I’ve ever had! It only lasted half an hour though? Along with mild cramps in my lower back. But then today nothing. I’ve felt like crying and emotional tonight which happens before my period, I’m due on the 16th so thinking it’s that 😩

I’m due on the 16th which is why I got upset with the negative result! So many women on here got their bfp early! When are you due??

Don't give up yet. It could happen for you still ! I found out on Xmas day 2020 I was pregnant and it was so so faint I just weren't sure. Then I did another test like 3 days later and it was dark. Well I was thinking my period would be due about the 15th. But because I've ovulated so late I'm thinking more like the 20th maybe. It's my first cycle so I think it could be different x

When I went to the toilet before I've got ewcm !! 😳. I'm CD28. And I had a negative ovulation test so I'm not sure what's going on xxx

Any chance you could of ovulated late ? If you're about same as me. I'm 5/6dpo today. Maybe you're due a bit later too x

How many dpo were you?? I just hate the waiting. I’ve ordered some more tests for tomorrow but think I’m going to try and wait until the end of the week. You just feel silly don’t you spotting all of these things that are probably just normal 😩

No I’m like clockwork every month, I’ve had mild cramps or some type of symptom since about day 4po.. which is why I’m getting my hopes up because I only ever get pms symptoms a few days before I’m due on. Maybe my body is just playing mean tricks on me

Tbh I'm not too sure. I weren't as clued up about ovulation testing then. It took us a year to conceive :(. So I'm not very sure. But when I look back on the app we dtd on the 22nd day of my cycle. So the test would of been 9dpo. But that's not certain. I'd also dtd on cd 15. That's when I thought I'd be ovulating. So I'll never know really. You do feel silly. I've convinced myself this month will be the month , and no doubt I'll be crying when AF turns up and then I will feel silly. It's all just a waiting game , a very hard one x

Let me know how you get on. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm glad I've found someone at the same point of their cycle as me. We can be in it together 🤞🏼 x

I'm so sorry :(. Keep your chin up and don't give up. Just wait until/if your period starts now. If it's not here by Weekend then do another test xxx

Tmi but just been to the loo and had blood, very light though. Don’t know if implantation can stop and start??

I'm not too sure. If it doesn't turn in to full bleeding. There's a chance it could be implantation ! 🤞🏼

Hopefully it'll stay that way. Fingers crossed for you. Boobs are sore , and got a full light ache low done. Getting paranoid period is coming now :(. If I ovulated only 7 days ago. I shouldn't be getting my period yet should I ? X

No I don’t do that either! I struggle understanding everything else haha! I had a little boy ten years ago and I literally had no symptoms with him so I’m thinking would I if I was now? But I guess every pregnancy is different x
