3DPO and feeling poorly 😔 TWW buddies?

Going to order agnus castus and coenzyme q10 now

Just got my period early, heavily, in Morrison's, all the way thru to my jeans so that's me out

@Twitchett22 I have read that!! Apparently it has to do with the relaxin hormone making your large intestinal muscles less active and has to do with the uterus expanding? Might be worth a google so you can see if it sounds like what you are going through 😊

@Twitchett22 I've not heard of that but fingers crossed it is for you.

I caved and did a test yesterday, BFN which I knew it would be because it's too early for me and wasnt FMU. Don't know why I did it, just couldn't stop myself, idiot! Now I don't have any more tests which makes it simple at least. I have some more on order but will will wait until Monday.

I noticed today I have gone off chocolate, which did happen with my first. Usually I have a massive sweet tooth. Silly getting my hopes up but it's hard not too.

Isn't it funny all the things you notice about your body when you're paying attention. This stuff is probably there all the time you just don't think about it. Enough to drive you crazy. to everyone, it's tough

@twitchett22 oh ideal!!

Yeah I'm gonna try make a conscious effort next cycle to relax a bit more for sure!

@twitchett22 my mother is the same , she knows too!

No this is my first. I thought I would be like you described, just kind of be ttc in the background and living life in the meantime but I actually cant do that at all! And because it's my first I'm a bit worried about it but I know I need to just chill a bit and give it a chance. I'm 31 next month but I would like to have 2 kids so hoping everything is ok and we can just bang the first out soon

@twitchett22 me either! Love having all of you in the same boat as me, really helps. Are you ttc first baby?

(And I was pregnant)

Third morning attempting BBT, third morning/ night of wakeful child messing it up.

Got a BFN on a cheapie. Clean as a whistle. Has ANYONE EVER got BFP on a cheapie?!

I remember last time I never got a + on a cheapie, even after my period was late

@Blackbelt you are not completely out until the fat “auntie” sings her crimson song!! Hang in there 🤞🏻

@HalfPenny28 this was also my first month tracking BBT, I have really enjoyed it but feel like if this month isn’t the month I may do OPK strips as well as BBT next month, just to be sure 😊

Af due in 3 days so decided to test BFN :( I'm probably out.

@AliSxo I tried temping this cycle but only lasted a couple of days. Might give it another go for the next one!

@Fifol yeah that's the one :) I use FLO to track af and ovulation and stuff and it's usually pretty accurate if I put af data in correctly.

@calimommy fingers crossed for you! I just want af to hurry up now! I know I'm not pregnant so just want it to get going!

Don't know what to think now, my back ache and cramping has subsided and I have hot heavy boobs and heavy abdomen. Still expecting af but hoping HOPING not. 🤞

I used the clearblue opk and found it very good, the only with the smiley faces. And then I use the Clue app it's good to track dates and symptoms so you can look back, but it calculates ovulation day based on an average cycle so unless your cycle is same every month it might not be accurate

@MrsLlama89 I think a few of us in this thread came off the pill in sept. I'm the exact same I never thought I would be so consumed with it. In reality it's not that long ago, I only got married in sept and it feels only a few weeks ago (I watched my wedding video clip this evening to cheer me up ) but when you're constantly monitoring dates and symptoms and hoping, it feels more like years x

@MrsLlama89 I really resonate with you! It's so nice to have our own secret space to all be a bit obsessed together

I'm due Sunday... not been too bad this month but last month I was GUTTED when af came. And month before I had a chemical 😔 really messed with my mind. Af took over a week to come and I'm usually clockwork. All this TTC is making my cycles change.

Anyway welcome and good luck all x

I ovulate on 6th March next according to app

@HalfPenny28 I used OPKS and temps, I'd really suggest temping with the femometer app and a basic thermometer from eBay for a few quid, the femometer app is very good x

We're all fairly in sync for the next cycle then!

I usually track ovulation with the clear blue digital - what do you all use?

@MrsLlama89 welcome 😅 sorry to hear about your bfn!

I'll ovulate next 2/3rd March ... I'll stay on the thread too xx

Hi everyone, joining this thread as also going mad 🤣 AF is due tomorrow or Saturday. I couldn’t help myself and also did a test...BFN. Feel so anxious and teary tonight! I came off the pill in September and I swear by December everyone and their granny was announcing their pregnancy and I just wish it was me! I had initially accepted it wouldn’t happen straight away but I didn’t realise how much it can take over your life. I feel consumed by it 🙈 When I tell anyone how upset I’m feeling they just say “it takes time”, “you need to relax about it”, “stressing won’t make you pregnant”...so I’ve been reading the threads on here to make me feel better...and so I don’t feel so alone! Hubby has been great but sometimes can get a little annoyed with my constant obsessing over it 🙈 Never for a minute imagined I would be so caught up in it all, but here we are haha. Just need to wait to see if AF makes an appearance or not! Hubby has banned me from taking anymore more tests before AF is due 🤣
Best of luck to everyone this month ❤️

I next ovulate 2nd or 3rd March, making due date 29 November (not that I was calculating it or anything!)

Ava fertility bracelet tracks your body temperature to help pinpoint fertile window. I just can't get into bbt charting, my small is being crap at sleeping at the moment. So might nights are wakeful and too inconsistent for BBT?
