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?

My sister knows and my mother kind of knows which I didnt want to tell her because I feel like its added pressure to be honest. Definitely feel its easier not to tell my friends though I dont think any of them are ttc or maybe they are and I just dont know!

It's great to know others are in the same or similar situations

Yes @Twitchett22 let's all hold off together!!!

gingerglitter4ever · 11/02/2020 14:10

@inahaze oooo super moon! Bring it on! I’m convinced I hyperovulate so maybe this moon will bring a set of two 🙈 it’s also my first cycle tracking BBT and I’m kind of liking it especially since it’s giving me different info than the ovulation predictor in my app. Baby dust baby dust ✨

@Fifol

I had a very faint line on a clear blue, but negative on everything else. With the amounts of tests I’ve done over the months, that was the first time I could actually see something! I thought I was pregnant for about a day. Then I had a week of negatives but still no period so it really messed with my head! Then period came with a vengeance (tmi!)

I told a couple of friends and now I can totally see why it’s easier to keep it secret, but having people here to talk to who are all as sane as me 😂

Twitchett22 · 11/02/2020 13:35

It's nice to be able to talk/rant on here because I don't tell anyone about TTC. Obvs my OH knows 🤪 but I don't tell him how badly I want it or I'm tracking things because he'll just think I'm being obsessive. My mum keeps saying it's time for another and I just laugh it off, I can't bring myself to tell her we're trying for some reason.
Maybe we can all help each other put off testing until as late as possible 😂

I'm going to try my best to wait until I'm late as well so in right there with you @Blackbelt

Did you have a positive test last time with the chemical? X

Blackbelt · 11/02/2020 13:28

Thanks for the warm welcome, I think it’s the first time I’ve actually been talking to people who get it!!
All my friends fell pregnant at the drop of a hat/unplanned!

This TWW thing drags :-P but because my period was 1 week late last time with the chem pregnancy, I don’t wanna test until I’m a week late. So more like a 3 WW for me 😁 let’s see if I last...

inahaze · 11/02/2020 13:22

me too, period due 23rd february

flo app and ovia app are not matching AT ALL and i'm cross that I didn't do BBT this month, will do it next month for sure.... i'm looking at that ava fertility bracelet thing ...... maybe

hopeful for everyone to conceive this month with the supermoon :)

Fifol · 11/02/2020 13:17

@Blackbelt it's normal to feel crazy I absolutely feel I'm driving myself mad!!

Today I have cramps going kinda from lower abdomen down underneath my bum. And I'm bloated. I suppose could be something I ate but yep fully crazy Grin

gingerglitter4ever · 11/02/2020 13:10

@Blackbelt welcome! Sorry to hear about your chemical, it’s not easy 😕 baby dust to you and look forward to hear how things go!

Blackbelt · 11/02/2020 12:48

Hey! I’m due 23rd and 2 DPO - on cycle 6 ish as oh works shifts so not always around. First one and 35yrs old 🙈
I don’t know why I have high hopes this month because I tried testing for ovulation and it’s matched my app!
However, I had a chemical pregnancy in December and it made me want things even more. Worried I’m going a bit crazy over this ...

Twitchett22 · 11/02/2020 12:32

@LuluHeidi its so annoying not knowing what your bodys doing isn't it 😂 and you get all excited coz AF hasn't turned up only for it to appear a couple of days later 😡

@becca321 I've also been exhausted and little pains around my womb area and having constant headaches but I can't work out if it's a sign or I'm just willing it to be 😩 so frustrating having to wait!

OP posts:
becca321 · 11/02/2020 12:26

I'm due AF on 21st too and think I am 5dpo, last 2 evenings I have been completely exhausted and really painful breasts with a sharp stabbing pain on left side. Energy levels are up a bit today but hoping it's all good signs 🤞

LuluHeidi · 11/02/2020 11:21

Hi all! I seem to be in a similar situation as most here ☺️ according to Natural Cycle app AF is due on Friday 21st Feb but that’s the app assuming it’s a 33 day cycle. This is my very first cycle since coming off the pill on 14th Jan and I’ve had my withdrawal bleed. No idea what to expect as I’ve been on the pill for 12 years and can’t remember what my cycles are like! I think I ovulated on 1st Feb but basing that purely on stabbing pains that I’m guessing was ovulation pain haha. So hard to tell! Fingers crossed for all of us 🤞🏼 It’s just a waiting game for me to see when AF arrives and I can work out my cycles a bit better!

Twitchett22 · 11/02/2020 11:21

@gingerglitter4ever thanks! I'm going to try and hold out for as long as possible but I'm so impatient. I work in a hospital so have used the hcg machine there before but i don't know how sensitive it is so i might try to wait until AFs due and use a CB digital

gingerglitter4ever · 11/02/2020 09:49

@Twitchett22 I would take the average of all the cycles you’ve had since coming off just to be sure, that way you eliminate a higher chance of a false negative and don’t get your hopes up. The fertility friend app that I use has re-calculated based on an average since I started using the app and I feel like that’s good so I don’t have to think about it too much haha
But look out for typical implantation symptoms, I’ve been seeing a lot of people (the ones who notice implantation anyway) they have gotten a BFP as early as 3-4 days after those symptoms, all individual of c but if you are feeling antsy maybe 12dpo at the earliest?

So my update, according to my BBT I haven’t ovulated yet, keeping an eye on my chart to see what’s up but I did get a sneaky feeling last month that I was later than predicted (hence BBT monitoring this month)

There’s so many things I’ve suddenly become aware of since getting back into my natural rhythm after my Mirena was taken out. I have more pain every other month on my left side during ovulation for example.. twins run in my family so maybe I hyper ovulate from my left ovary? 🤔 anyway how’s everyone else doing? Any more symptoms?

Twitchett22 · 11/02/2020 08:27

Hi @HalfPenny28 welcome to what will hopefully turn out to be a BFP group! Seeing as I know literally nothing about cycles and testing and I'm just winging it can one of you help me out? When can I test? Ovulation was Friday 7th (i think) and AF due Fri 21st. My cycles since coming off the pill have been 35 days, 33 days, 32 days and last month was 28 days so I'm working off 28 😬 if I test before AF is due there's more chance of bfn right?

OP posts:
HalfPenny28 · 11/02/2020 07:30

Hey everyone 🙌🏼 I'm 6dpo today so I think we're all super close this cycle?

I have a 28 day cycle as standard so can test from Saturday onwards.

This will be our 5th cycle trying for our first and I've been taking a load of supplements this month so fingers crossed.

How's everyone feeling so far? I'm trying not to symptom stop as it ends up disappointing me but it's hard not to!

AliSxo · 10/02/2020 19:12

Not sure who's the same but I tend to only have a 12 day luteal phase, 6dpo for me is a halfway marker and I don't beat myself up for testing from 7DPO xx

gingerglitter4ever · 10/02/2020 18:44

Welcome @Loladisco @feelingpositive2020 @Fifol baby dust all round! Looking forward to some BFP’s in this group! The TWW ain’t got nothin on us 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Twitchett22 · 10/02/2020 18:20

@Fifol i was feeling a bit fluey yesterday too! It's so hard isn't it. Its exhausting tbh and I'm not sure if me feeling crappy is just down to anxiety 😒

OP posts:
Fifol · 10/02/2020 18:15

I also felt yesterday morning a bit fluey and as if I was coming down with something but feeling fine again today

Fifol · 10/02/2020 18:14

Hi all, think I'm about 7 dpo so in the much the same boat as you all! Have had a few cramps and a few sharp little pains low down and boobs a bit sore. The fact that some symptoms and normal before a period is just cruel really!!

feelingpositive2020 · 10/02/2020 15:11

Hi

Im 2DPO currently on my first cycle of Chlomid. Been TTC#2 for over 2 years. My 1st child was with a previous partner!! Hoping my chances are even better this time!!! But no holding out any hope Hmm x

Loladisco · 10/02/2020 15:01

Hi all, hope you don't mind if I join! I think I'm 1DPO today so no symptoms yet and DH is now away for a few nights. Trying not to get carried away but it's nice to have some company during the TWW Smile

gingerglitter4ever · 10/02/2020 14:48

Welcome to the club @Nora11 and @AliSxo !!
I’m with you guys, hopefully this month I can keep my cool a bit and just get the dang BFP already hahah
