Achy legs at 6 dpo

momvita30 · April 2015

I have crazy ache in the legs and extreme fatigue since 4 dpo. I am 6 dpo today. I am wondering if there are others out there who experienced this before their bfp. Also, is there anyone expecting their AF on May 3rd and on a 30-32 day cycle. Would be nice to compare all the symptoms and have an AF and TTC buddy!! :-)

No. Implantation won't even happen until at least 7 dpo so that's not pregnancy related. Also- if they are pregnancy symptoms you will be able to turn a test positive. Sorry.

... What?

nicosh8 · April 2015

I suggest you lurk these boards and take the advice on temping and reading Taking Charge of your Fertility. There is also a 2 week wait thread. Good luck.

DaphneMoon1 · April 2015

No.

And most people here are TTC. Sure there are a few who have other children, but most do not.

concreteayngel · April 2015

So many things wrong with this post.

First, we don't symptom spot here. If you are pregnant enough to have symptoms, you are pregnant enough to turn a test positive, which is not possible at 6Dpo bc you most likely haven't even implanted yet, hence your body is none the wiser.

Secondly, asking for other people's experiences is pointless because our experiences have absolutely no bearing on yours.

Thirdly, you are looking for either the cycle buddies board, or a TWW board.

4th, please lurk around here some more and read the TOU. There are a lot of great ladies on here, and you can learn a lot, but you have to be willing to educate yourself. We get a lot of new people who ask the same questions multiple times a day without reading other posts to see if someone else asked it first. That's a big no-no.

And lastly, if you are looking for a board for people to say OMG TOTEZ PREGGO!!, go to baby center. We prefer reality and science.

Good luck to you.

Hi, we really don't recommend symptom spotting here, it just leads to disappointment.
The truth is( read as the ugly truth) here is 20 percent chance of conceiving every cycle, with correct timing.

On the real, though. Not possible to implant that early, as others have mentioned.

27alex · April 2015

LOL

TheBorg7of9 · April 2015

Have you been walking a lot? I've been pg 3 times and never had leg cramps. Just think about it, isn't it far more likely that you're just having a regular old leg cramp that has nothing to do with your uterus?

momvita30 · April 2015

Thanks for all the well meant advice. I have been trying really hard not to symptom spot. Cant help it since its my first month trying. I think i would get over the obsession soon enough though. I have been temping since two months and used OPKs for this cycle.

It's great that you're temping. Pregnancy symptoms are caused my HCG, which isn't released until you implant. Even then it needs time to build in your system. You don't implant until 7-10 days after ovulation, with most implantation happening day 9(?) I think.

Keep in mind too that it can take a healthy couple a year to conceive.

I'd love to see your chart! Mine are in my siggy.
You may learn after a few cycles that symptom spotting is completely worthless. You might even find (like I did) that you have more symptoms on bfn cycles then your bfp ones.

Jessie42613 · April 2015

Well at least we know OP isn't skipping leg day lol

kbru88 · April 2015

Sounds like you need an extra dose of vitamins to me. Make sure you are taking prenatal vitamins.

Scout27 · April 2015

Eating bananas and drinking plenty of water also help with leg cramps.

I had leg cramps during both of my pregnancies, however they occurred during the 3rd trimester (and either way would mean nothing to OP). Not sure if you meant in general you didn't have leg cramps, or just in early pregnancy you didn't, but I was under the impression they are more common during the later stages of pregnancy (and still not relevant to OP).

TheBorg7of9 · April 2015

That's true for me too. I was only thinking about 1st tri. But I figured my 3rd tri leg cramps were probably caused by the 40 pound weight gain. Lol. Btw, I am getting physical therapy now to deal with the muscle tightness leftover from my pregnancies which is causing me to pee myself a little. Apparently, it's not normal to be unable to bend your leg to the side, even when pregnant. I highly recommend PT for muscle problems, even if you don't pee yourself. My therapist is amazing and even helps "train" for pushing out the baby.

LoveLucy0413 · April 2015

I had horrible leg spasms the 3rd tri with DD

It was nearly impossible to sleep.

I tried everything...banans, supplements, massages...walking...resting....nothing helped

momvita30 · April 2015

I am going to take up the advice on banana's and supplements. The legs ache to the point of distraction. I have never had anything like this before. Its probably all the stress of anticipation.

kmcc14 · April 2015

I get horrendous cramps in my legs with pms - thanks AF. Advil or Aleve really help.

momvita30 · April 2015

I just got a faint line on FRER. Is that even possible? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and PCOS few years ago, but have regular cycles. So OPKs and even temping don't exactly work for me. Could I be wrong about my ovulation date? I won't believe this until I miss my AF and test again.

Yeah, I think OP needs to eat a banana

You can't be 6DPO then if you got a positive. It doesn't work like that. You don't even implant until 7-10 dpo

crogers19 · April 2015

test again tomorrow with FMU if its really +
head on over to 1st tri

Sorry, hun. Symptoms don't mean anything before your BFP. Also, you can have none & be pregnant.

It's all luck of the draw.

VesperLove · April 2015

This is one situation where I kinda wanna see the pee stick.

OP - you can't post it here ... it's against the rules, but if you want to send it to me in a PM I'm curious.

@missteacherlady16 is right though. You don't implant until 7-10 days so it would be impossible to get a positive at 6dpo. So either you're not actually 6dpo or it's not really a positive.

LoveLucy0413 · April 2015

Agreed, test again fmu. Maybe you ovulated sooner than you think? Maybe you have "line eye"?

Good luck on getting your bfp

LoveLucy0413 · April 2015

@kyleneum13 I kinda wanna see. You let us know the verdict? LOL

missteacherlady16 · April 2015

I'll third that - I wanna see the pee stick

Of course, if you're reading it outside the alotted time frame, then the test is invalid.

It has yet to be sent to me but if it does, I'll let you know.

Am I the only one that isn't shocked by a "bfp" after this whole discussion?

No, it's definitely fitting. I want to see the chart.

That's how the world works. It's a cruel and curious thing.

Next batch of threads we'll start seeing:

"I've had leg cramps the last few days, am I pregnant?"

ShamrockGirl518 · April 2015

Don't you ladies know that leg cramps, veiny boobs, and peeling fingers/toes all are signs your going to get your BFP?! 8-}
