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 I know my husband's brother's girlfriend is having a baby end of Feb and literally all that side of family are like so when are you having one! Very annoying Angry

Let us know how you get on!

AliSxo · 13/02/2020 16:53

@Twitchett22 it'd be great wouldn't it, no more TWW!! I know, I'm happy for anyone who's pregnant but it's a sore spot when you're also trying.... when I first came off the pill I was getting migraines around AF but they wore off... really hope AF doesn't show up! Xx

Twitchett22 · 13/02/2020 16:48

@AliSxo fingers crossed for you! Nothing worse than someone else announcing their pregnancy just as you get a bfn 😒
I've had a headache solidly for 2 days. I usually get one the day before AF is due but not this early on. Trying not to read too much into it. Imagine if you could get a bfp the day of DTD 😂

I'm 7DPO today so at least I'm getting towards the testing phase, although it's never stopped me testing at 3dpo in a prior cycle!! 😂👍🏼 going to test tomorrow morning at 8DPO and then Sunday at 10dpo. I'm seeing a friend who's announcing her pregnancy on Saturday but I already know as her bf has told my bf, so I need to act surprised and I can't stand a bfn on the day, it seems everyone is pregnant recently!! Boobs are sore, headache, had vile mood swings all week but that's also a sign AF is on her way but really want to be positive and I'd just be over the moon if I caught this month!!! Xx

Twitchett22 · 13/02/2020 15:14

@calimommy thanks, I know full well that if I just hold out til AF is due it will be much more straight forward either way but I just can't wait 😂 I'm supposed to be out on Saturday too so maybe I'll just leave it until after then 😂

calimommy · 13/02/2020 15:08

@Twitchett22 the first 4 pregnancies I got a positive 6-7 days before af was due, using FRER. The 5th didn't go positive until after AF was due. Always worth a try and be prepared for a negative, knowing it's v early? I'm
Mad to test but far far too early haha plus we have a night out on sat 😂🙈

Twitchett22 · 13/02/2020 14:51

I'm starting to lose patience... My amazon basket has FRER in it... Daren't press buy just yet. If I'm 6dpo does anyone know what my urine hcg would likely be? Considering testing at work and the machine is sensitive to 25iu, is it way too early?

@HalfPenny28 it can't hurt!

Best of luck with your test this saturday, let us know x

HalfPenny28 · 13/02/2020 14:37

@Fifol I like that attitude 🥰 let's hope the positivity in this group reaches everyone! I'm hopeful to see some wonderful positives on here after the weekend! I've decided to test on Saturday :) just keeping my fingers crossed!

Wishing everyone the best of luck this cycle!

Fifol · 13/02/2020 12:49

I'm 9 or 10 dpo I think.

I'm staying really positive and hoping I'm attracting all this positive energy and it will be my time Smile

Blackbelt · 13/02/2020 12:42

Well that's what I'm telling myself of course 😂 all depends on if period comes I suppose.
I was getting a lot of cramps and cm but now nothing ... :(

gingerglitter4ever · 13/02/2020 12:02

@fifol I’m alright! Currently 4 DPO so not too far into the TWW for anything significant to be going on, but I’m confident and trying to go with the flow (no pun intended) this month hehe
I hope the cramps are a good sign, what dpo are you at?

Fifol · 13/02/2020 11:03

@Blackbelt that's why I'm afraid of testing too soon but no way will be able to wait 2 weeks! I'm due AF 17th to 19th and will wait till that weekend if I can. I mean if AF doesn't come I'll be thrilled enough so might be able to!

@gingerglitter4ever nothing new today, I keep having little burps which isnt like me! Sore boobs, a few cramps, I'm actually starting to feel like AF coming Confused Boobs not as sore today so I'm panicking now!

How are you feeling?

gingerglitter4ever · 13/02/2020 10:53

How’s everyone doing today? Any new symptoms?

Blackbelt · 13/02/2020 10:18

I used to test the day before my period was due, but since I had the chemical pregnancy, I’d rather not test until I’m at least a week late now. Funny how different things can affect you. I’m holding out for another 2 weeks if I can 🙈
No symptoms so far though so not holding out much hope :(

HalfPenny28 · 13/02/2020 07:31

@AliSxo same, we started trying in October and had no sign of a positive yet.

I know it's only been 5 months and that it can take up to 12 naturally but it's so hard just waiting and not knowing!

I don't know if I want to test or not :( part of me just wants to get it over with but if it negative I know I won't fully believe it anyway until af shows up!

Fifol · 13/02/2020 07:27

@Parksb I'm the same, googling literally something new every few hours!

Parksb · 13/02/2020 00:21

Hi all!
In the same boat here, first month TTC. Can test on Monday and struggling to hold out. Only me and my husband know we're trying so don't have anyone to talk to and googling everything like mad!

Blackbelt · 12/02/2020 23:40

I’ve been trying since June 2019 but some months more than others if you know what I mean.
But where it’s my first and im 35, I’m quite scared.

I’m a rollercoaster. One minute I convince myself life is better off without children, the next that I was born to be a mum... it’s crazy.

Sometimes the thought of a positive terrifies me but the thought of a negative upsets me so much. No hope for me!!!

AliSxo · 12/02/2020 21:21

@HalfPenny28 I'm the same I've tested ay 6dpo but I've got some FRER that are out of date so don't mind wasting them as much!! Going to try and hold off until Sunday when I'm 10dpo. Been trying since October, fingers crossed it happens this month!! How about yourself? X

Twitchett22 · 12/02/2020 21:16

Next weekend is going to be a busy time for us all!
I've just broke out in a load of spots on my chin today which is unusual for me. Hormones or worrying? 😂

OP posts:
HalfPenny28 · 12/02/2020 21:04

@AliSxo us too :( it all just feels like we can do nothing else but think about ttc!

Have you been ttc long?

I wasn't going to test early this month but I don't think I'll be able to wait 😅

AliSxo · 12/02/2020 20:58

Hey @HalfPenny28 @Blackbelt same problem, I'd like to move jobs and go on holiday in June but both aren't possible when ttc, holiday I can book nearer to the time but no doubt it'll be double the price... 6dpo bored and fed up of symptom spotting every month xx

HalfPenny28 · 12/02/2020 19:24

@Blackbelt I'm exactly the same! This Is our 5th cycle trying and we can't plan anything 'just in case' but it makes it even harder when af then turns up.

Just really praying this time we're lucky.

Have you been ttc for long?

calimommy · 12/02/2020 18:11

I should add, I also had a positive OPK earlier in my cycle. So +OPKs have been:
CD8
CD17-18
CD20

I might make a new thread to see if anyone can shed some light. These were all definite positives but I still feel like 17-18 was the O date.
