5 dpo!!! Anyone else

[Carriec0911]

O-sore bbs
1dpo-sore bbs, thick stringy discharge
2dpo-same
3dpo-no bb pain, slippery/watery cm, bladder feeling full and stretched
4dpo-same as 3dpo + felt very nauseous and bloated
5dpo- awoke with bbs tender, very high cervix, watery cm, pains/prickly feeling in uterus/vagina area

Anyone else having similar symptoms? I'm really consumed on my bb tenderness coming back!

Hi Carrie!

I'm at 4dpo so we're pretty close!

What does bbs mean?

All I've noticed is I'm still experiencing some cramping on the side I ovulated this month, which is weird. I cramped for a few days before ovulating, and then it started back up again Saturday night/yesterday. It would concern me (maybe I never actually ovulated) but my temps say I did so I'm trying not to obsess. At this point I wouldn't be too surprised if I'm manifesting symptoms just to drive myself crazy.

Oh, and I've had some light CM - but nothing crazy.

 

[Carriec0911]

bbs (boobies) I'm not having a lot of discharge but when I wipe it feels wet n slippery if tag makes sense.

 

[Savasanna]

Ah - that's what I thought but I wasn't sure.

I'm planning on taking my first test this Saturday. I know it's early but my sister in law is visiting until Saturday and I thought it would be really cool to get a bfp while she was here. Hey - ya never know, right!

When are you planning on testing?

 

[MummyJade]

Hello

I am 4dpo.. Ive had tender bbs.. Crampy.. Few sharp pains and I woke
to pinky watery cm then brown watery cm...
Nothing since... Still crampy... Gassy and tired too x

 

[Savasanna]

Hi MummyJade! Do you plan on testing early or are you waiting for your missed period?

I'm curious - everyone is reporting some cramping but would we even feel any additional cramping at this point? We likely haven't reached the point of implantation yet so even if conception happened isn't the egg still just traveling down the fallopion tube, same as every month?

 

[MummyJade]

Well seeing as im only 4dpo i dunno if it can be implantation unless i O'ed earlier and my lp is longer... then 14 days...

I hope to wait but i am so weak and wanna test like now! ha!

im not sure on the cramping, this is my 1st cycle so i am still getting my head around the whole TTC/NTNP thing.. x

Hey! I'm also 5dpo. Had a lot of cramp and a few headaches but I'm not sure if the headaches are just cause DS2 isn't sleeping well and I'm tired.

CM is creamy and white though as opposed to wet and watery.

Savasanna that's a good point you make there and interesting! I have no idea why I've been cramping but I definitely have been. It's like a heavy cramp though as opposed to like throbbing?

 

[Carriec0911]

I'm unsure on the cramping and the timing all I know is I have it lol kinda feels like AF cramping but a little different. I also noticed that my abdominal area has a warmth to it.

I going to try to wait til missed AF which is due in 9 days!

Hello Ladies! I am 5dpo also and have been fighting the urge to test already. So far I have experienced a variety of early symptoms... urinary frequency, sore bbs, nausea, headache, cramping, sharp pain.... i haven't noticed anything odd with my discharge. I just wish I knew already. I want to be able to announce at Christmas. I am glad to have found a group of ladies that I can talk to and test with. Good Luck to Everyone

 

[Savasanna]

Oh, I'm definitely feeling some cramping too.. but I wonder if we feel that every month and just don't usually pay attention to it?

OR - we're all going to get bfps this month Which would be amazing.

I hear ya Caitlyn - Thankfully Thanksgiving is this week so we (if you're in the U.S.) at least have a bit of a distration to help take our minds off things.

 

[caitlyn2009]

Savasanna- Yes I am glad for something to keep my mind busy because I have driven myself crazy today, sitting in the office lol Thanksgiving will be a nice break. Although I am still considering buying a bunch of dollar tree tests lol
I hope that all these symptoms aren't just in my head. Lots of baby dust to all of us!!!

 

[pinkribbon]

Do you think it would be acceptable if I had a little thanksgiving here in the UK to distract myself too?

You'd think having had 2 babies I'd know what this stuff meant... I'm clueless haha. This is the first time I've ever used OPK's or really came up with a plan to actively monitor if you know what I mean?

 

[MummyJade]

I wanna test now even though i know nothing will come up! The wait is a nightmare... Ive never been through anything like this before as my daughter wasnt planned...

I wish we had Thanksgiving... If im not pregnant this month i will use opks next cycle

I am at 6dpo and like you I have a lot of cm. mine is more lotiony than watery. I also feel like AF is about to start. Killer tummy and back cramps.

I am so ready to test now but know I need to wait until at least Thanksgiving break is over and I go back to work.

 

[weenireeni]

ive got lots of cm today too, is that good or bad?! im terrible, i never pay any attention to things like this, i should have so i would know to eliminate it!

ive got really bad cramps and back ache today too, cramps are mainly on the right, and near pubic bone. ouchy! does feel like my period is going to arrive though its not due for another 9 days really!

these days are the longest of my life!!!

 

[pinkribbon]

I remember I had loads of white CM when I was pregnant both times but I can't remember when it started.

Wish I could!

 

[caitlyn2009]

Woke up today ( 6 dpo) feeling not so pregnant... All of my "symptoms" have kind of gone away. No I just have an awful cold I am trying not to get discouraged. It is still early. How is everyone else feeling?

 

[Savasanna]

Don't get discouraged! I read it takes 6-12 days for implantation to happen and some studies believe you don't even start feeling symptoms until after that time. All these 1-6dpo symptoms are probably our own wishful thoughts.

You are NOT out of the game.

 

[Renaendel]

Not all. Your immune system does get depressed with a fertilized egg before implantation. This is critical otherwise our immune system can and will kill the fertilized egg. It is the reason why many REs give their clients prednisone as an additional immunosuppressant to women having difficulty conceiving. The theory is their body isn't getting the flag like most women do. I can get you journal articles if you are interested.

Now all the HCG related symptoms are probably just related to the progesterone spiking in our bodies. Isn't it fun though to symptom spot. It helps me get through the tww.
