Question

Cramps & lower back pains at 5dpo. Could I be pregnant?

I'm 5 dpo on a stimulated cycle (femara/follistim/ovidrel/progesterone). Yesterday I had very mild cramping/twinges on my left side. They are stronger today but not painful & I have lower back pain like I do with AF. I'm gassy today too and tired (but not exhausted). We've been TTC for 24 months and don't want to get my hopes up (but yet, I do want to get them up!). Is it too early to feel any pregnancy symptoms? Could I be pregnant or is it wishful thinking? Anybody experience symptoms this early?

At 5dpo, the egg hasn't reached your cervix to implant; but not saying you didn't ovulate earlier than expected. There are a lot of calculators on this website under "Tools & Tickers" and select "Implantation Calculator" and there it will calculate the best time implantation can occur. I use the calculators on here a lot to determine when to dtd, ovulation window, etc. Hope this helps; but don't get your hopes up. :)

Thanks. I know what the science says, I was just wondering/hoping if anybody else experienced symptoms like this this early. I triggered on Wednesday (July 19) so I would have ovulated within 36 hours after that. A blood test and ultrasound on Wed. morning confirmed that I didn't ovulate early so I am definitely 5dpo at the most (possibly just 4dpo if I ovulated on the later end). I emailed my nurse to see if maybe it was just a side effect of the progesterone suppositories but, of course, she is out of the office until tomorrow morning. Guess I'll just have to wait and see!

The only thing I noticed was that I felt off after what I thought was after ovualtion (i posted a question two hours ago today based on my BBT and symptoms as I am now on my second day of being late but I don't have any symptoms besides moist and high cervix with some watery discharge. Hope you get your BFP. :)
