Phantom pg symptoms... how soon is "too soon"...

or is it always basically "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" after the fact?  

I know the mind can be very powerful, especially when you want something as badly as we all want to be pg, but realistically is there anything you could feel if you were pg at, say, 5dpo (obv. before you knew if you were pg), that would be different from a woman who was NOT pg at 5dpo?  

(ETA - clarity)

    Well considering that implantation doesn't normally occur until about 7-10 dpo, realistically you probably wouldn't feel anything. 

    If you perhaps did feel something like a symptom, and then were pregnant, I would chalk it up to coincidence personally.

    Femara + trigger + IUI with awesome #'s on 10/6 = BFN
    Femara + B2B IUIs with still great numbers 11/12 = BFN
    Femara + B2B IUIs with even better #'s 12/12 = BFP!!!

    I think it's totally a "hindsight is 20/20" thing... oce you get KU it's easy to look back and say "oh those cramps at 5DPO were totally it!" and not think about all the other busted cycles that you also had cramps at 5DPO. It is what it is, but pregnant enough for symptoms will always = pregnant enough for a positive.

    I swore my first cycle charting I was KU. I had crazy phantom symptoms at 4-6 dpo. Sadly, not so much. lol I even had a dream that I POAS at 4dpo & it was positive. Fortunately, I didn't actually give in & POAS. I would have been sadly disappointed. I'd agree that it would be coincidental even if you did end up KU. Good luck though!

    I hear ya...I'm 7dpo and I had some cramping/pulling from 1-5dpo, and my nips have been killing me for the past couple days.  I have to keep telling myself that I have to be pregnant enough to test, to be pregnant enough for symptoms!
