8DP 5DT symptoms!!!

6 Replies

OTD is Jan 4th but i think i will be testing at home Jan 2nd, maybe that way it feels like i have a little hope of two days before otd.

I have this pulling pressure in my lower abdomen and both ovaries are giving me needle like pain just like during stimulation, abdomen feels heavy too like i’m carrying a few weights in there. my boobs are not sore and i have not seen any spotting but the cramps are REAL and kicking me!!

6 more days of this torture of wanting to just know what the hell is going on!!!

Hey, my OTD is 3rd Jan and I’m 6DPT. I’ve also had the same pulling pain in my lower abdomen all night. I woke up questioning whether it’s period pains :( I was tempted to test but didn’t as I’m not sure I’m mentally ready for the worst.

I’ve had cramps since transfer, sore breasts but I think that was the progesterone. I’ve had nausea and I am constantly really thirsty and I think I had spotting yesterday but it was tiny so unsure.

They say cramping is a good sign 🤞🏼I would also like to know what’s going on too ! Sending you lots of baby dust ❤️

8dp3dt FET here, and I have similar symptoms. I am not mentally ready for the worst either. I do hope cramping is a good sign. I don't know how people test early! I've gotten so many early negatives that I hoped would then turn into a positive, but didn't. Some people's do, my sister's did (natural conception at age 24, ha) but not mine. So I never do HPTs anymore, just the blood tests. Sending you both lots of baby dust!!
