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?

Hopped out of bed this morning to test with fmu, sat down and there she was. 😞 I was three days late according to one app and one day late according to another but there was absolutely no chance of a BFP. Damn.

This was our last cycle of ttc. We won't be trying again.

Good luck and baby dust to all of you xxx

I've just started using that smiley face clear blue OPK this morning (valentine's present, LOL).

For some reason I'm finding it hard to part with the £18.45 for preseed! Is it really worth it??

Had a very frustrating chat with a close friend of mine this morning, who, somehow, got pregnant first month all 4 times she tried. So she obviously just thinks I need to have sex when I ovulate and then I get pregnant, and that I need to BBT chart (like she did) to know when I ovulate. She didn't really believe that there's still only 33% chance of BFP when having sex at ovulation. Felt so deflated.

@Fifol I use OPKS, I've used the CB digital for a cycle but found the OPKS told me the same thing so I didn't see the need to keep using the CB digital each cycle xxxx fingers crossed for us both xxx

Fifol · 25/02/2020 12:11

@AliSxo do you use any opks or anything? I'm using the clearblue digital one with the smiley faces, found it good last cycle.

Gonna try every second night for a few nights and then closer to ovulation gonna try each night.

AliSxo · 25/02/2020 12:04

@Fifol I only have a 12 day luteal phase, so the TWW is actually a 12 day wait. Saw my gp last week he said the time up to ovulation can differ but generally the luteal phase won't move around much which is true for me I always spot/full flow on 12dpo. Going to try every other day now until a few days after ovulation xxxx

Fifol · 25/02/2020 09:35

@AliSxo I'm CD 7 today too! Trying to feel positive too.

AliSxo · 24/02/2020 23:14

@MrsLlama89 @Fifol I've had a few days where I've felt like I've reached the end of my tether, so hard when all you can think of is seeing that BFP! Feeling more positive CD7 tomorrow, due to ovulate this time next week x

Twitchett22 · 24/02/2020 21:30

Oh girls i really hope its good news for you! But I'm glad there's a few of us that will be going through it together next cycle, it really makes things much easier. Lots of positivity this time round and NO symptom spotting! 😂

MrsLlama89 · 24/02/2020 21:14

Will do, thank you ladies ❤️

@gingerglitter4ever @calimommy Fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏼

@Fifol It really is!! I keep randomly feeling teary since last Monday. It's hard to keep positive when you just want something so much right now! At least we have each other on this thread to bounce off and cheer each other up during the next cycle ❤️

Fifol · 24/02/2020 20:56

Oh ladies I hope it's good news for you.

I've been going through ups and downs the last few days, of feeling very positive and then really emotional and sad... it's a bloody rollercoaster girls isn't it x

gingerglitter4ever · 24/02/2020 20:51

Thanks everyone! And good luck @calimommy ✨ I’ll keep you all updated!

@MrsLlama89 I hope everything turns out okay! Let us know how this situation develops!

becca321 · 24/02/2020 17:48

@calimommy @gingerglitter4ever fingers crossed for you.

@MrsLlama89 hope it all goes well for you and it isn't AF, I got back dated by through doing bbt, so now 11dpo again but have had brown/orange spotting with some red since 4dpo so completely fed up now, just wish AF would come so I don't have to keep waiting!

MrsLlama89 · 24/02/2020 17:23

Update from me- had the most awful cramps all weekend and last night had some brown spotting. Today cramps are really bad again and have brown spotting (wee bit more of it than last night). I have no idea what's happening! Never had anything like this before 😩 I keep googling implantation cramps and bleeding but it says it shouldn't be as sore as this and I think the timeframe doesn't really work. In all honesty I don't have a clue, maybe it's just AF being really nasty this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

calimommy · 24/02/2020 16:33

@gingerglitter4ever same here I'm going to test in an hour or so

AliSxo · 24/02/2020 16:21

@gingerglitter4ever fingers crossed for you!! Try and avoid the tests for a few more days if you can I know easier said than done xxx

gingerglitter4ever · 24/02/2020 15:47

I know many of you are now onto your next cycle, but I do want to update that AF was a no show today, hopefully she stays away! 🙅🏼‍♀️

AliSxo · 24/02/2020 15:30

Going to do tonight, leave it 2 days and then I'll be in my fertile window and we'll do every other day xx

ChampooPapi · 24/02/2020 12:33

@HalfPenny28 I'm actually going to try using opk's for the first time. 5th month here. January dtd like mad, nearly every day, February tool a very relaxed approach, neither worked so going to use the opk's and it'll be luck of the draw again I imagine. But need to do something this month proactively as was so slack the last one!

Fifol · 24/02/2020 11:25

Definitely going to try be a bit more relaxed this time.

Going to dtd every second night and then probably every day the few days around ovulation as I dont want to miss the window. @inahaze lots of conflicting info, I've read you should do every second day but have also ready every day is fine and doesn't have a neg impact on sperm. Hard to know but gonna do every day around ov.

Think ov will be in 9 or 10 days for me, I'm currently on CD6

Loladisco · 24/02/2020 08:43

Hey everyone. Hope you are all doing ok. AF showed up this morning bang on time. A relief really to be free from the second guessing madness and getting hopes up for a few weeks. This cycle I will be just trying to relax and not get carried away with everything. I might tell DH to hide my tests too. I hate that I've wasted so much money and plastic testing unnecessarily!

inahaze · 24/02/2020 07:39

Weirdly I'm feeling positive this cycle too!!
It's our 3rd anniversary this weekend and we have a night in a hotel, coinciding with ovulation I hope!

This month I'm trying
Sex every other day (not daily as before!)
Coenzyme q10
Agnus castus
OPK
And need to buy some preseed too or whatever it's called

Sorry to hear of people's losses. Really hoping baby dust soon for everyone Flowers

HalfPenny28 · 24/02/2020 07:01

@Fifol @AliSxo me too 🙋🏼‍♀️ af should be done by end of today so ready to start again!

What's everyone trying this cycle?

I read somewhere that dtd everyday doesn't actually help but I read all sorts of contradicting things!

AliSxo · 23/02/2020 22:08

I hope so @Fifol sometimes it's best when a new cycle starts, feeling more positive too and really hope we all get some baby dust this month! X

Fifol · 23/02/2020 21:13

Feeling positive this cycle girls, I think we are all gonna have some good news in March! I'm actually so excited!!

AliSxo · 23/02/2020 20:37

@ChampooPapi yes we've got each other this cycle, we're in really similar boats so let's hope March is our month!! Have you noticed a change in your periods since your MC? It's hard to judge mine I thought they'd become heavier with more stringy bits sorry Tmi but I only came off the pill in August so not had a natural period for many years!! X
