3DPO and feeling poorly 😔 TWW buddies?

3DPO and feeling generally shit. Tiny little stabbing pains in my pubic area and my lower back is killing. Feeling sick and generally full. Have a feeling I'm just getting a bug but can't help wondering if it's something else. I know 3DPO is far too early for any kind of symptoms but its always in the back of my mind 🤷🏼‍♀️
Anyone else's AF due around 21st feb?

I’m almost 14dpo but still like whatever... Don’t wna find out!

Fifol · 06/03/2020 19:23

@Twitchett22 I thought I'd be in tww by now but I'm still on flashing faces over here!

Fingers crossed for this month for us all x

Welcome back to the TWW @Twitchett22! I ovulated on Tuesday (or thereabouts) so just a few days ahead! 🤞 Going to try and hold out until 20th at least before testing..!

So today's ovulation day! Supposedly. Am I supposed to have symptoms that confirm it or not? I do feel a bit of a dull ache low down but not sure if it's anything significant.
Anyway DTD on Monday and Wednesday, I know tonight is probably prime time to try but I'm exhausted 😩 hopefully I'll find enough energy and hope DP is quick 🙄😂 and the officially back in TWW tomorrow! It feels like so long ago since the last TWW.
Anyone else ovulating today? I hope this is our month girls 🤞

My cycle is all over the shop.. so I've gone from a 24 day cycle to a 28 day cycle in 2 months. And then last month my period was a week late and 3 days long, not painful and not heavy.

I got a clear blue digital testing thing for opks and although it didn't show on the screen because the stupid thing decided it was going to turn off, the strongest line I got was directly after my period last week.

I'm meant to have ovulated yesterday but the clear blue indicator is saying not it's an empty circle, and then yesterday I had a really heavy feeling in my vulva (sorry) and some small aches in my groin area then today I've had the smallest and I mean a speck of brown when I wiped and not fmu just randomly now.

What the fuck is going on??

AliSxo · 05/03/2020 13:37

Glad I'm not the only one who feels like that, it was optional for me to work next weekend and I'm not going to incase AF arrives which sounds silly but it's optional and I'd rather be home or shopping xxx

Fifol · 05/03/2020 12:55

Yeah hate that too. It's my birthday around the time AF should be due. Hoping for a nice present! But I'm similar I dont want to make any plans for it

inahaze · 05/03/2020 12:26

My partner reminded me yesterday that his parents are staying the weekend with us next weekend when I'll, either way, be VERY hormonal! Brilliant!

AliSxo · 05/03/2020 11:40

I'm 2 or 3 DPO, had my positive OPK very late on Sunday so ovulated on Monday or Tuesday... AF due next weekend. I don't want to make any plans for next weekend... I hate the pressure of having to see people I don't want to or doing something and my AF arrives... xx

Fifol · 05/03/2020 09:39

Definitely @inahaze defo exhausting. We have been bd'ing every night the past few nights so hoping all bases covered too! Think we will for a couple more and then hubby away with work

inahaze · 05/03/2020 09:12

Hi @SingleSidedShoulderShrug and @HalfPenny28

inahaze · 05/03/2020 09:11

@fifol exhausting isnt it. If it's any reassurance all my "indicators" were misaligned this month (OPK, BBT, flo app, ovia app), I guess this is why every other day works well, based are covered!

Fifol · 05/03/2020 08:00

Still flashing. Who knew a smiley face could cause so much stress. I've a couple of sticks left I dont know if I should get more and keep testing to see of the static appears or just give up once these are gone. Hate not knowing

My husband woke up and asked me if I got the happy face. I'm glad he a listens to me and b is interested but it also kinda breaks my heart because I know he wants this as much as me!

Fifol · 04/03/2020 21:25

@HalfPenny28 I would do tomorrow too if I was you. Can't hurt!

I haven't got my static yet but dtd tonight anyway just in case!

HalfPenny28 · 04/03/2020 21:06

Heyyy 🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm pretty sure I ovulated today or will do early tomorrow.

Did a clear blue digi this evening and got my static 🙂 and the STRONGEST line on the test I've ever got so must be super close.

Feeling better about it all this month, going to wait and see and not test.

Dtd tonight, yesterday and Sunday so hopefully got it covered!

Is it worth trying tomorrow too do you think?

SingleSidedShoulderShrug · 04/03/2020 19:29

Joining in tentatively

I think I ovulated today but not really sure I should probably pay more attention. I feel really crappy today, we dtd last week 6 times in 3 days Blush 2 days after AF. Then this morning and tonight

@AliSxo try to plan some things to do that weekend when AF is due to stop you wanting to test! Its so bloody hard though. We'll all do it together x

OP posts:
AliSxo · 04/03/2020 18:37

I'm having a shitty time with it all I'm fed up it hasn't happened yet but we'll keep trying. I'm 1DPO although femometer reckons 2dpo, AF always arrives 12dpo so it'll be next weekend either way xx I don't want to test this month, it'll be really hard but I want to do it xx

Thanks @AliSxo I'm just having a shitty day but it's nice to know I'm not alone. I've only got one test in the house and I'm NOT buying anymore this month so strictly no testing until at least 3 days after AF is due. NO symptom spotting, I'm not gonna stop drinking etc I'm gonna pretend I'm not even TTC. Enjoy DTD, get on with everything in life and put it to the back of my mind. 😬 Might be a different story in a couple of weeks 😂

I've got a wedding in may so if I'm not gonna be able to drink I want a bump so I don't just look fat 😂 bfp better have appeared by then!

OP posts:
AliSxo · 04/03/2020 18:01

@Twitchett22 I feel the same I think the excitement of TTC that was once there has gone and I don't get my hopes up for that BFP which is good as I protect myself mentally but it's tough. Sending you love, we're all in the same boat xx

Fifol · 04/03/2020 17:59

Ha yeah I've put on like 10 pounds since my wedding last year and I keep telling myself no point losing it coz I'll be putting it back on again!

Luan82 · 04/03/2020 17:42

@Twitchett22 - I like your thinking! - no more bikini 👙 body workouts come spring!!

Twitchett22 · 04/03/2020 17:37

@fifol if I could have a bump for summer so I don't have to worry about looking skinny in a dress that would be ideal 😂

OP posts:
Fifol · 04/03/2020 17:36

I agree, sometimes it just gets too much. I'm glad everyone else is in the same boat though.

It's hard too when you're tired and busy at work and sex with your hubby is obviously great but it really does become another job to do when you're on a schedule. It's hard, ttc is hard.

We all need some motivation!! I keep visualizing myself with a little bambino to cuddle or a nice bump to dress Smile
