Weird symptom or not?

Hello! I am brand new to trying to conceive. We did ovulation tests this month and were sure of ovulation. About two days after i got the stiffest neck! I have no idea why because it started in the middle of the day and got worse and worse, then progressed into a headache. I am 6 dpo and the neck ache is still there, not as bad but it does come and go. Also a few hot flashes experienced thats about it though. Anyone else have these symptoms, or know if these are even symptoms lol. I sometimes think im making things up in my head because I am so aware of my body right now!!

I wouldn't read anything into it. If you like to "symptom spot" the Countdown to Pregnancy website is always nice for a good fix You can compare your symptoms to other people at same place in cycle. Technically at 6dpo you are likely just now having possible implantation so no HCG in your system really yet. And remember, once you start paying attention, progesterone can play some pretty nasty tricks on us TTCers. Good luck on your journey!

I agree with Tweety. 6DPO is still very early in the TWW for actual preg symptoms, since the egg exits the tubes around 5-6DPO and starts to implant after that. Anything pre-6DPO, is likely due to the increased progesterone in your body from ovulation. But, progesterone can def mess with your muscles and will def give you a headache, so I'm thinking it's the most likely culprit.

I hope you get your BFP at the end of this cycle though! Good luck!
