Hey! I have a couple of thoughts ...
First, follow the cm as opposed to the test results. Your OPK will test positive only when your LH surges; however, you will not ovulate until 24-48 hours later, and you can conceive 24-48 hours after ovulation (thus, up to four days after positive OPK). I can tell you that when I got my positive OPK, my husband and I bd that night and the next three nights. I conceived that month (the first month I used OPK) after fifteen months of unsuccessfully trying to conceive.
Secondly, post-ovulation symptoms are simply post-ovulation/pms symptoms and not pregnancy symptoms. Remember that implantation does not even occur until 5-10 days after ovulation, and an incredibly high percentage of miscarriage occurs before you would even be four weeks pregnant. Most women do not get true pregnancy symptoms until they are five-seven weeks pregnant. On fertility friend, you see only the symptoms of those who actually were pregnant ... many of those posts also state that they had the same symptoms they had every month leading up to af. I had normal post-ovulation/pms symptoms starting 1dpo and lasting until shortly before af was due. Then, I had nothing for two weeks but tested positive at 11dpo, 12dpo, and verified at the doctor on 13dpo. At six weeks, I began true pregnancy symptoms. Try hard not to read too much into the symptoms.
I wish you the absolute best. Please keep us updated on how things go. Best wishes to you for sticky baby dust!
Hey! Check out my post. I am having to same thing. I am glad to know I am not the only one. :)
Sue, 3 days post ov is a tad on the early side for symptoms!
I have pregnancy symptoms every day. If I turn up pregnant, you can go ahead and alert the media!
You aren't crazy! I felt symptoms very early (you can probably weed through the posts and see mine from almost 2 weeks ago). I had the "stitch" pain in my abdomen and was very gassy. I'm currently almost 4 weeks pg (I go to dr. tomorrow for first appt.) and had practically every textbook symptom...constipation (still battling this one), increased sense of smell (maple syrup and celery...appetizing, let me tell ya), sore bb (only my right bb was sore and abnormally larger than my left), light headed at times, and the most significant one for me was how extremely tired I've been. I literally cannot make it through the day without a two hour nap. I don't know what I'm gonna do tomorrow when I have to go back to work with no opportunities for naps!
I just tried going about my day and not thinking about it too much. That seemed to work for me until I tested at 9 DPO and got a positive!
Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!!
People who want to be pregnant report signs of pregnancy, even signs of very late pregnancy, like back aches or food cravings very very early. Sometimes, it's a happy coincidence.
Prayers that you're pregnant! Any "symptoms" would be purely coicidental, but best wishes!
Hi there. Thank you for your response.
I know that a lot of women don't feel anything very early in their pregnancies, but check out twoweekwait.com and click on the Early Pregnancy Symptoms section in the upper left hand corner. A bunch of women documented their symptoms beginning at 1 dpo and they were all pregnant.
Just shows you never know! : )
Honestly, I think if you are pg it is way too soon for any signs. I think you are paying too close attention...which is easily understood. :) Best wishes and I hope you get that BFP soon!
