DPO questions

RKeith22

I am on my first month of trying for baby #1. I ovulated on Day 15 and am now 3 DPO. Has anyone had symptoms like cramping and lower back pain on 3 DPO? and if you did, did you have a positive test later?

I've had those things at 3DPO, but never from pregnancy. 3DPO is far too early to have pregnancy symptoms.

Yes and I attributed them to some kind of ovulation cramp.

No, I have never gotten a positive pregnancy test.

3dpo is too early to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms.

It's my first month TTC too.  SO, that said, I had some -weird- cramping this month.  Like, seriously strange. I thought for sure it must be something BFP-related going on.  However, I am due to get AF on Saturday and my usual PMS symptoms have presented themselves with a vengeance. I'd love to do the BFP dance next week, but I'm starting to face a bit of the reality that I think other people on here were trying to warn about.

I have no idea if this is the phantom pain everyone talks about, if it was related to the O or if it's something else altogether.  I'm trying to calm down about getting a BFN, but it's hard not to feel crushed after your first month.  To me, getting pregnant was just a matter of deciding when to get pregnant---not, "Oh, hey.  You're ready now?  Let me check...nope.  Not this month."  It's a b of a situation.

It's easy to have "phantom symptoms" if you are looking for them. Try not to overanylze everything. (easier said than done)

When I was pregnant I did get nausea quite badly early on. (Unfortunately, it was a precursor of what was to come) my nausea was consistent starting at 7dpo, I got a BFP on 9dpo. So you can have symtoms early; 3dpo may be a little too early.

I agree 3dpo is definitely early for signs.

Yes, I had some cramping at 1 DPO...I ate some bad chicken....didn't sit well.

DPO 3 is too early for symptoms. It is possible you're experiencing cramping related to O.

I'm mobile so I can't see if you have a chart in your signature but how do you know you O'd on CD15? Was it confirmed with temping? I only ask because FF said I would O then but I can promise you it didn't happen.

Yes I did confirm O with temping and OPK's, I also felt symptoms related to ovulation that day and the days after too.
