Has anyone had itchy skin at 5 DPO before a BFP?

TTC on the 3rd cycle, have had one pregnancy a couple of years ago which ended in MMC. I’m 5 Dpo and my skin is so itchy particularly my chin, has anyone had itchy skin this early and had a Bfp? I know it’s “too early” but you see plenty of people who say they had symptoms at this stage and were pregnant.

never had itchiness before on last pregnancy skin was irritated I thought it was my skincare, but I’d used it for nearly a year then week later found out I was pregnant. Must have only been around 5 dpo when my skin started last time, but it wasn’t itchy it was just red

At 5dpo the embryo won’t have implanted yet so won’t be giving off any hormones to give any symptoms. Implantation occurs between 6-11dpo, but most people it takes a good few days for any symptoms to show. Good luck!

I got a really bad headache that came out of nowhere 3 days after I had an embryo transfer - it was a histamine type headache I get but normally they are triggered by something I eat or drink within 2 minutes, but I hadn’t eaten or drank anything in this case I was just lying on the sofa when it hit me. I did wonder if it could be implantation and it has stuck so far 🤞. So I don’t think it’s implausible that itchy skin could be linked! I looked it up and there is a histamine link. Good luck xx

thanks, I know people say no but as mentioned in the post I have been pregnant before and my skin was irritated from about 4/5 dpo and I had blurry eyes from then because I booked an eye test thought I needed glasses! 😂😂 fingers crossed for you xx
