Hi hun I'm 3 dpo and been getting similar symptoms when is ur af due sorry about ur mc it's so hard the 2ww and tracking all symptoms it seems like forever until can start testing gl hope u get ur bfp x

Implantation can't have happened yet - it cannot happen until 6dpo at the very earliest, although 9-10dpo is the most common - so what you're feeling is not caused by hcg. The symptoms you're having, though, are all caused by progesterone, which increases after ovulation. So it's a good start! Good luck!

At 4 dpo you are solely experiencing the side effects of progesterone. It is too early for true pregnancy symptoms as implantation happens between 7-11 dpo. Don't focus too much on "symptoms" - it leads to nothing but unnecessary mental exhaustion and possible disappointments. I hope you will become successful soon! Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

Agreed that you really cannot tell by symptoms. At this point even if you have a fertilized egg you are not "pregnant," it still would need to implant, which doesn't happen until later. I know it's hard not to overanalyze when you want a baby so badly but analyzing symptoms will only drive you nuts and won't make you any more or less pregnant.

Thanks I keep trying to tell myself to wait. I think after a while of ttc everything seems like a symptom. Could all just be pms symotoms I supoose, I've read a lot of the symptoms can be the same. I am due at around the 29th. I'm gonna hold off on the pointless testing until I am at least 1 day late to save some sanity from all the symptom spotting, how long do you need to waitin before testing Sara93?

It's horrible because pregnancy symptoms af and pms are all so similar I was certain last cycle I was pregnant as I had different symptoms to my other cycles but af showed so I try not to think of the symptoms to much my af is due the 2nd of November so got a while yet I hope u get ur bfp

It is. I think I am most months now lol. DH is very patient with all my chatting about hormones :) let me know how you go on. Good luck hope you get your BFP
