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?

Pregnancy test calculator
Use this calculator to help you decide when to take your first home pregnancy test.

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. :)
