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?

@calimommy that's so kind of you to post, your loss sounds a horrific experience and honestly mine wasn't anywhere as bad as that.

I found out at the 12 week scan but I wasn't that far along, things seemed to have stopped developing around 8 weeks so it was all very confusing but I didn't see anything really bad. Not anything that I understood anyway!

My body had been producing a lot of hormones to 'keep things going' which was the worst part as I felt sick as a dog right up until the 12 week scan.

Cycle 5 and I'm going to try incredibly hard to say bugger off to every negative thought and just live my life to the fullest. I am vowing to sing at the top of my lungs at least once a day and to count my blessings each morning.

Let's do it 💪🌈✨

@ChampooPapi I'm sorry about your 12 week loss, I lost one at 11 weeks and it was soul destroying holding that tiny little baba in my hand. Baby dust for you all x

ChampooPapi · 23/02/2020 19:11

@AliSxo same here! Been trying since August as well, though got my bfp early September and miscarriage at 12 weeks end October so we are in a very similar boat.

I'm on Cd3 so let's be there for each other this month, it is getting a bit much isn't it!

AliSxo · 23/02/2020 18:37

Feel like I've run out of patience, been trying since August, had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in October, really hope March is my month and wishing you all baby dust!! I'm CD5 now and ovulating around this time next week xx

calimommy · 23/02/2020 16:57

I don't have any pregnancy tests at home, DH is away and I just can't bring the three children with me to buy some 🙈 I feel like people look at me like I'm crazy as it is. I probably am crazy. CD31, my apps say tomorrow af is due. I think it's such a long cycle estimate because I O'd later than expected (cd17 I think it was). Also nervous to test because, well you know, that fricking BFN, maybe just as well I don't have any. I'll sit on my hands until tomorrow and maybe af will save me the cost of the test! 😭😂

Fifol · 23/02/2020 14:47

@twitchett we will support each other! Defo going to be dtd the whole time during the fertile window!!!
@MrsLlama89 oh keep us posted x

Twitchett22 · 23/02/2020 14:03

@MrsLlama89 its sounding good so far! Hope she stays away for you, one of us needs a bfp! I know what you mean about POAS 😂 I'm on my period so very blatently not pregnant but still look at my tests in the bathroom and think hmmm what if i am... 😂 It drives you crazy!
Me and OH have agreed that we will make more of an effort to DTD next cycle and I'm absolutely NOT going to symptom spot or test until a whole week after AF is due.
Lets all laugh together... 🤪

Still no sign of AF! Officially one day late lol I've never been late before! Still have cramps too, like dull constant cramps since Thursday. Was thinking maybe it's implantation cramp but this is the 4th day and means it took around 12 days to implant?!?!? Fed up of google 😂 BFN this morning and will most likely keep POAS until AF arrives... send help or somebody block my debit card to stop me from buying more tests 🙈

inahaze · 22/02/2020 20:27

I hope someone gets the supermoon baby!!

gingerglitter4ever · 22/02/2020 20:26

Going to bed at 9:30 the second night in a row after sleeping until 10:45 this morning 🆘

MrsLlama89 · 22/02/2020 19:07

When I woke up this morning and AF wasn't here I wasted yet another pregnancy test (BFN) 🙈 but AF always arrives first thing in the morning! I'm never late so couldn't help but feel excited this morning lol! I do have cramps but no sign yet. Can't even enjoy a glass of vino until it arrives! Will keep you all updated 💗

calimommy · 22/02/2020 14:11

Actually now that I've POAS af should be here within the hour 😂👎👎👎👎👎👎

calimommy · 22/02/2020 13:26

CD 30 here, my 3 day back ache has passed and no af. Did a test and BFN, I even squinted at it for ages like a looney. Af should really arrive today although my apps have it as tomorrow no idea why as I've not had a 31 day cycle but maybe they both know something I don't 🙈😂💀😭

Twitchett22 · 22/02/2020 11:21

@Fifol yes onwards and upwards, and if its a xmas baby then so be it 😂😂

Twitchett22 · 22/02/2020 11:20

Thanks @gingerglitter4ever I'm actually ok this time, i think I'd already prepared myself. Just pissed off that I was too impatient to wait and wasted 2 tests 😂 good luck to you! There must be one of us on here with a bfp!

OP posts:
Fifol · 22/02/2020 11:20

@Twitchett22 at least it's on to a fresh cycle now!

I am definitely with you, no symptom spotting this time around.

I've just read a book called the Impatient Womans Guide to Getting Pregnant. It's a lighthearted but informative read I'd highly recommend! I actually picked up a lot from it and it has definitely helped me feel more positive.

gingerglitter4ever · 22/02/2020 10:26

@Twitchett22 I’m so sorry 😐 take care of you and your body and treat yourself right! I’ll let you know how
I get on after the weekend
X

Twitchett22 · 22/02/2020 08:52

Also decided that next cycle I am NOT going to symptom spot (LOL) so if I do it on here can you all shout at me 😂 literally every symptom that i thought could be pregnancy related obviously isn't so i will keep telling myself there's no point. Not sure how successful that will be... 😂

AFs here 🙃 I'm getting very drunk later on.

Hey all! I'm cd4 tomorrow, due to ovulate cd12-cd14... went to see my dr tomorrow, he said he's not worried about my fertility and my cycles are regular, the hospital won't see us until we've been trying for a year. I came off the pill in August, got pregnant on my 2nd cycle of trying but it was a miscarriage at 5 weeks. He said they'll do a blood test a week before my next period is due to check my hormones so I've got that booked in.... I mentioned me and my partner had mumps last year, he said there's a possibility it could cause low sperm count to my partner but they'll check all of that once we've been trying for a year. Seeming as we got pregnant in September and we had mumps earlier that year I'm hoping it rules out complete infertility for either of us...

He said DTD every 2-3 days with every other day during ovulation. Also the luteal phase should be the same length on each cycle and it's the first part of the cycle leading up to ovulation which may differ by a few days, that's correct for me I always spot or start AF on 12dpo.

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else is thinking of seeing their GP xx

Twitchett22 · 21/02/2020 21:29

@inahaze 14dpo today. had a bath earlier and when i got out had some blood dripping, wiped but still nothing on the pad so i don't know atm. Waiting for full blown AF now 🙄🙄

inahaze · 21/02/2020 21:24

@Twitchett22 where are you DPO?

feeling very sorry for myself today, cycle day 2, trying to stay positive and think about a november baby. my small will be coming up 5 by then and already in primary.

@Nora11 @HalfPenny28 sorry to hear you also have AF

can't remember if i said but ive ordered some agnus castus and co-enzyme q10... can't do any harm right? puts my off buying ava bracelet for another month anyway.

i've been reading into SMEP but i'll have to start it all much earlier than testing OPK day 10 because I definitely feel like i'm ovulating earlier than that. I think i'll start OPK day 6 and have sex every other day next cycle, maybe daily is just too much!

anyone else agonise about "what went wrong last month" and then come up with plans for next time? even tho having sex whilst ovulating still only gives you like 25% chance.... mother nature is so cruel sometimes

Nora11 · 21/02/2020 19:58

My AF is officially here too... looks like a few of us are all in the same boat! I'm trying to look on the bright side as we are going away for the weekend so at least I can have some drinks 😊 next month will be our month AF buddies! and for those who she hasn't arrived for yet... Fingers crossed for you! 💖

Fifol · 21/02/2020 19:19

@MrsLlama89 yeah so that made me feel really positive about it! Looking forward to BDing soon!

@HalfPenny28 hope you're ok. Treat yourself with whatever you want! And think of this as a fresh new start with some friends to share the journey with!!
