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?

Some months i get the worst knee curling pain in my ovary area yes but it so painful iv been to a&e with it. They said it was possibly ovulation pain. Iv not had it for a good 2/3 months though. Thank u so much for the ideas to help me x

AliSxo · 22/03/2020 16:29

@Aims21 that must be so tricky xx maybe DTD every 2-3 days? Do you get any signs that ovulation is due such as cramps? Xx

Yes just looked again even clear blue are saying urine ovulation test kits will not work with people who have pcos. So no hun thats why i dont use them it wasted my money and hot my hopes up alot when it was the wrong reading x

Aims21 · 22/03/2020 01:46

Hello @AliSxo
Yes went crazy with them about a year ago. Very up and down. Some evap line some slightly darker. Then to burst my bubble read that pcos have something in there urine that gives them falce possitives almost all the time witch then made me feel the light evap line may of been the falce possitives and ill never know and gave up. Got like a bundle of 50 lol. One in morning. One at night for best results but i just felt as confused as normal. You think what i read was true? Surely its made for people who need help pin pointing ovulation with or with out pcos right? 🤔😁

AliSxo · 22/03/2020 01:40

Hi @Aims21 have you tried ovulation tests? You can get them really cheap on eBay/amazon and you can tell by the darkness of the test line how close you are to ovulation, it may be an idea for you? Xx

Aims21 · 22/03/2020 00:59

Hope u dont mind me joining in.
Im new to all this and dont get many of the lingo apart from bfn bfp lol. I have pcos and would love to no when im ovulating however i dont get discharge to monitor or temp as that can change with me like a heart beat. Any other ways?. Im 6 days late. Well i say late lol with pcos it could be late, on time or just not gona happen. However im feeling genuinely unwell atm so could be that. Any advice given would be wonderful. Hopefuly that one time was enough if not next month when u and hubby feel better maybe dtd a little more. My hubby not active very rare we dtd but im hopeful one day will be the right day lol

AliSxo · 21/03/2020 23:34

Hey @Twitchett22 really sorry to hear that you're putting it on the back burner, I really hope it happens for you soon xx

Twitchett22 · 21/03/2020 20:06

I've been having a long think and I'm going to stop actively TTC. We're still going to continue with no contraception but I'm going to try and forget about a baby for a few months, stop looking at dates and cycles and whatever and just see what happens. Then when the whole covid thing calms start again and maybe start with opks and stuff.
I feel like there's so much going on right now that TTC is an extra stress that I'm putting on myself, which is probably stopping me conceiving 🙄 so I'm hoping a break is the best way forward.
So that means I'm going to leave the thread behind also. Thank you to all of you for your love and support which makes this whole shit-coaster more bearable! I hope you all get your bfps very soon and you are kind to yourselves.
Maybe see some of you on new threads in a few months 💜

@HalfPenny28 I felt the same I thought first cycle I'd catch - we've just got to keep trying.... xxx

inahaze · 20/03/2020 19:20

@HalfPenny28 what have you tried so far?

HalfPenny28 · 20/03/2020 19:12

Sorry I've not really kept up lately, af arrived yesterday and it was just the final straw.

Cycle 7!

What the actual shitting hell. I never expected it to take this long. Dunno what we're doing wrong.

Fifol · 20/03/2020 18:26

Sorry @Twitchett22 that's shit but at least it's on time and not late getting your hopes up I suppose.

I'm in the worst mood this evening. Genuinely feel I'm getting AF but not due for another week. I got a package and they didnt look nice on me and I have been fuming about it since!!!

inahaze · 20/03/2020 17:30

Sorry twitchett :(

Definitely try OPK! Before i had my first child, I used to ovulate around day 8.... now it's more like day 14... so yea it's helped me:) bbt chart very interesting too x

Daffodil21 · 20/03/2020 15:18

Sorry@Twitchett22 Thanks

calimommy · 20/03/2020 15:14

Sorry @Twitchett22 ! OPKs are a great help imo. You might have a very short surge or be hitting the wrong days, always worth a try. I also swear by Agnus Castus. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I always get pregnant when I take it.

Twitchett22 · 20/03/2020 15:07

AF has turned up bang on time 😣 i might start using opks but no idea where to start really or if I'm putting extra pressure on myself.
AF arrives like clockwork every month, my cycle has been consistently 28 days for the last 3 months since it settled after stopping the pill. Does that mean i will always ovulate on day 14 or could i be mis-timing ovulation day?
Let's keep each other going, feels like we're all feeling extra shit this month. We all want a Christmas baby anyway right? 😂

@inahaze it's horrible isn't it, I didn't sleep well when it happened to me in October I would wake up and prey it had all been a bad dream :(

I can't stand people telling me they're pregnant right now it's a real trigger I'm struggling with so I just prefer not to hear which isn't rational or practical but I just want to be able to share the news myself and it's not happening xx

inahaze · 20/03/2020 11:12

tbh, i'm feeling really deflated today, i had insomnia last night because i felt stupid for thinking/believing/hoping i was pregnant (mad middle of the night thoughts but still powerful).

one of the mums in a whatsapp group im in messaged me separately to say she had had a miscarriage last year and then went on to say she is 11 weeks pregnant..... i wish she had just said nothing at all because right now, it just feels so unfair (this will be her third child, due in october).

looks like our cycles are all out of sync now :(. never mind let's keep the thread going anyway :)

AliSxo · 20/03/2020 11:06

@Fifol I wish ovulation was the exact same day, the smep or any plan is so hard to follow when the dates change! Xx

@inahaze how are you feeling today? Xx I'm CD5 not ovulating until next weekend xx

Fifol · 20/03/2020 11:01

I'm on cd 31 but since I ovulated late I'm not expecting AF for another week. I have some cramps today but no sore boobs probably will get that in a few days. I'm very chilled right now I think because I ovulated late or whatever happened I already feel I'm out this month

How are you feeling @inahaze?

inahaze · 20/03/2020 08:48

Thanks everyone for your support

Where is everyone in their cycle?

We are heading towards Christmas babies!

calimommy · 19/03/2020 22:14

@Twitchett22 as it stands we are in isolation for 4 weeks but once the schools go back (if they do) I won't be able to isolate. I'll just try to social distance where possible but then again I'll still
Have to do all the usual stuff so 🤷‍♀️

calimommy · 19/03/2020 22:09

@inahaze I'm sorry my dear! I've had two and also went back ttc as soon as my bleeding stopped. The first (9weeks) stopped bleeding within a few days like a normal period but unfortunately the second one (11weeks) took 12 weeks to stop bleeding! Hopefully you are more like the former xxx

Twitchett22 · 19/03/2020 20:34

@inahaze oh I'm sorry! That's shit. Look after yourself and feel whatever you want to feel.
@calimommy congrats I hope it sticks too!

I tested yesterday but not FMU -bfn (12dpo) so thought I'd test FMU today and the bloody test didn't work at all! I think I peed too much on it? 😂
Anyway AF due tomorrow so lets see. As much as I really want it and TTC is exhausting me, I can't help but dread a 12 week isolation if i do get bfp 🙄
Hope everyones not going too covid mad and getting too stressed x
