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?

@AliSxo oh totally I'm the same reading so much into the smiley faces and was so disappointed to get the flashing today instead of static even though I'll probably just get it tomorrow morning and it's still fine!

Yeah we decided to dtd every day this week. Not sure about allowing time to build up I've read so many mixed things but that's our choice this month anyway. I just thought it's worth a try!

Hey I had my positive ovulation test yesterday, DTD Friday, Sunday and yesterday (monday). Really want to DTD today but I'm conscious my DP's sperm need to build up and we're planning on DTD tomorrow morning. However it feels weird to not do it today as today is the expected day of ovulation. My day of ovulation was meant to be yesterday but didn't get my positive OPK until yesterday.... anyone else really overthink it?

ChampooPapi · 03/03/2020 08:36

@Nora11 definitely positive. That's why it is so important to do them pretty much straight after your period when using them for the first time. Get baby dancing!

Fifol · 03/03/2020 08:15

Hi @Nora11 I haven't used those strips so I'm not totally sure but both lines look the same so I suppose it is positive?

I've had my 6th flashing smiley today, was expecting a static today but hopefully tomorrow!

Nora11 · 02/03/2020 17:58

Hi everyone! Well this is my first month using ovulation strips... I did the first one yesterday even though it was only day 9 of my cycle so probably too early I thought. But today I have just got a positive (at least I think so!) So glad I didn't start later! 😁 This is positive right? I've been squinting at the lines for ages...

I had a feeling I ovulated earlier than ovia predicted last month so good to have it confirmed!

Hey @Twitchett22 I had it a few days before my positive OPK, I think it's a good sign to DTD!! I had ewcm on cd 10 & 11 and now a positive OPK on cd13 so I'm predicting I'll ovulate tomorrow cd14 xxx

Twitchett22 · 02/03/2020 16:05

Girls I'm rubbish with ovulation etc etc I've not used any OPKs or anything but can someone explain CM to me? Today I've had noticeably more CM, I'd probably say it's EWCM, what does that mean in terms of ovulation? And does that mean tonight is a good time to DTD?

Well we said we weren't going to try again and then like an arsehole I bought a massive box of OPKS and HGC tests off amazon. 😜💀 still not sure what we are doing but I'm testing like an idiot again. I think the problems have been on my side because my cycles are a bit all
Over the shop. This period was a few days late, heavy but no cramps and then completely stopped after 3 days? Very short. Then we DTD on CD5 and I had some heavy spotting immediately afterwards which I initially assumed was AF returning but it was just post coital spotting. So now I've decided I have something very wrong with me. 🙈 probably mostly that I need a kick in the bum into Reality Land but hey ho here we are muddling along!

Fifol · 02/03/2020 14:20

@AliSxo me too. Or lack of AF hopefully!!

AliSxo · 02/03/2020 14:06

I've had my positive OPK today so counting tomorrow as ovulation and 1DPO as of Wednesday!

Agreed @calimommy although IC's have the worst indents so I pick up FRER fairly cheap on eBay but this month I don't want to test and just let AF tell me xx

calimommy · 02/03/2020 04:15

Top tip: defo buy IC. I have a box of those and I don't feel nearly as bad using those and getting BFN as I do using FRERs or CB 😂 😜

calimommy · 02/03/2020 00:51

@AliSxo definitely Monday because it's apparently better for sperm to be there waiting 🙈😂

AliSxo · 02/03/2020 00:42

Thanks @calimommy I'll continue to do them and see if they get darker. Would you DTD on the day of a positive OPK or stick to every other day? Positive OPK on Sunday night and we DTD Friday night and Sunday morning, would you now DTD on Monday and Tuesday or just stick to Tuesday? Xx

calimommy · 02/03/2020 00:26

@AliSxo that one is much closer to positive 👍 good luck!

AliSxo · 02/03/2020 00:08

Thanks @calimommy I've just posted the most recent one I've just taken about 15 minutes ago, once you get a positive OPK I've read it's 24-36 hours before the egg releases... wasn't scheduled to DTD today (Monday) as we are going for every other day but I'm tempted to do it Monday/Tuesday now my OPKS are getting darker xx

calimommy · 01/03/2020 23:29

@AliSxo these are mine when I ovulate, the test lines should be really very dark.

calimommy · 01/03/2020 23:25

@AliSxo I'd keep testing. Based on those you haven't ovulated yet. X

AliSxo · 01/03/2020 23:06

Hey @calimommy I've had ewcm on both Friday and Saturday, the one from Friday is the darkest so far which is throwing me off as I'm not meant to ovulate until tomorrow/Tuesday xx

calimommy · 01/03/2020 23:02

@AliSxo none of those look near positive. Did you have other symptoms which make you feel that you have ovulated? X

Fifol · 01/03/2020 22:54

Looks like the top one is the darkest. But I haven't used these so dont really know!

AliSxo · 01/03/2020 22:29

These are the OPKS from Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday (today) would Fridays have been the positive OPK? It looks the darkest but I was only CD10 then which is early - would of meant I ovulated cd11/12? I'm not due to ovulate until tomorrow xx

3DPO and feeling poorly 😔 TWW buddies?
AliSxo · 01/03/2020 22:20

Aww well there will be a few of us ovulating so we can all be TWW buddies!! Xx my OPKS are all over the place, I've actually got a positive OPK from Friday and I had ewcm - my OPKS since Friday are dark but the darkest is definitely Friday so I'm not sure what to think now!! It'll all balance out this week, generally femometer app is good with bbt for detecting the day of ovulation so I'll keep temping xx

Fifol · 01/03/2020 22:04

I meant Wednesday or Thursday

Fifol · 01/03/2020 21:58

Hey @AliSxo I think I'll be ovulating Tuesday or Wednesday so just slightly after you! All good here nothing out of the ordinary to report! Already dreading the tww but really really gonna try to just be positive but forget about it all as much as possible and know we have done all we can. A busy week ahead!!!
How are you?

AliSxo · 01/03/2020 21:27

How's everyone getting on? I'm either ovulating tomorrow or Tuesday... xx
