3dpo and looking for TTC friends

436 replies

Lolliloo1234 · 11/04/2020 18:18

Hi,

I’m 29 and on cycle 2 of TTC. I’m 3dpo and now in my two week wait. I have no friends with children or anyone who is TTC so looking for online buddies to ride this out with!

Anybody in the same boat as me who wants to chat and be a little neurotic together?

Xx

Sorry to hear that @Lolliloo1234 hopefully they can prescribe you something to help quickly.

Boo to AF! Are you ok @mrsmummy111?

Think my frer has given me an evap, v v faint and pretty sure there is no colour to it. Enough to make me hopeful for a few mins though!

@mrsmummy111 doctors prescribed me antibiotics, picking them up tomorrow and they’re TTC safe so there’s clearly no stopping me now 😂😂😂 She actually said that TTC can mess with your cycles.
How strange - at least the quicker it’s arrived, the sooner it’s over with and your can start trying again!

Erm, AF has just turned up on CD 27! Weirdest thing ever. I'm normally always 28-30 days so maybe I didn't ovulate when I thought I did!

mrsmummy111 · 21/04/2020 15:25

Oh Christ yeah. What a ballache.
You know canesten actually sell kits to test for thrush / BV now, I had to use one once and it was accurate.
Probably all that DTD, your body didn't know what was going on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@mrsmummy111 classic thrush/BV symptoms really and I’ve had so much watery discharge the past two weeks without any relief or it getting better. My period never does this either so it’s really odd. Longest luteal phase ever 😂😂😂

Oh @Lolliloo1234 😫 very annoying.
What makes you think it's an infection? I sometimes get spotting on first day of AF. Does your GP surgery offer econsult? X

@lolliloo1234 why don't you do a pg test? A lot of ppl dont get symptoms and if AF hasn't arrived it might be why!

Well I’m having a bloody nightmare day - still not AF just one wipe with brown CM. Something is definitely not right down there and I’m pretty convinced I have an infection. Doctors phone appointment and a pharmacy trip imminent. Absolutely no pregnancy symptoms.

Quick reply as I must get to bed... I think lh can surge again just before AF around when your progesterone drops, but it's also very similar in structure to HCG so it could mean either.

I've been taking a mixture of evening primrose, multivitamins, vitamin b and coenz q10. I tend to alternate them rather than all together and folic acid on the days I don't have a multivitamin (most important one!) I can't say I've noticed much difference tbh.
Raspberry tea is ace- I drank loads when I was trying to go into labour! Tastes lovely in the summer cold and think it's supposed to improve the uterus blood flow or something. Can't harm anyway!

@Lolliloo1234 strangely I'm CD2 and took an LH test on the last day of last cycle and it was positive and AF started like 12hours later (for a few hours I thought it had picked up the hcg but unfortunately not for me)

Random question - has anyone got a positive on an ovulation test when your period is due? Mines due today, had some spotting but not loads and took an OPK (don’t have any pregnancy tests and I was just curious) and it’s positive? I’m not ovulating obviously, has anyone else had this?

Thanks @mrsmummy111 @lolliloo1234 I’ll give some of them a go x

mrsmummy111 · 20/04/2020 18:02

Hi girls,
@Nat4392 I take CoQ10 (high absorption) once a day, and Vital DHA twice a day. Along with folic acid. I took them with my first and it can't have hurt so thought I'd continue again this time.
I'm 10 DPO but absolutely zero symptoms so I know I'm out. AF due on Friday (I have a pretty regular 14 day luteal phase)
Good luck to all you girls and remember, there's always next month! Xx

@Nat4392 so...I used to have a luteal phase of 10 days, im not looking at 13 days because I take high dose vitamin c, vitamin d, vitamin b6, vitamin b12 and folic acid every day and have been for 3 months. That paired with acupuncture (but I have t had that for at least 4 weeks now with CV) has lengthened it. Checked with the doctor that it was the right thing and they said that this combination is the best. Also drink raspberry leaf tea but I dunno if that’s helped at all, it just tastes nice!

My AF arrived this morning. Trying not to feel too gutted. Good luck ladies

Nat4392 · 20/04/2020 16:48

AF arrived for me this morning. LP of 11 days which isn’t terrible but not ideal. Absolutely gutted this month.
What vitamins are you taking? I’ve just ordered some Agnus Castus hoping it may help x

Hi ladies, anyone tested yet? Keeping everything crossed for some BFPs for you this month!

No AF arrival for me yet but I had some spotting so I know it’s coming. Actually very glad it’s not arrived yet today - I have a short luteal phase so relieved to see it’s getting longer and longer each cycle with the vitamins I’m taking!!!

@Sammyclaire22 I’m almost 100% sure AF is coming - due on tomorrow or Tuesday so no hopes up over here!!

OP posts:
Sammyclaire22 · 19/04/2020 11:02

Might be that then @suki2020 esp if you take your temp orally?

@Lolliloo1234 I was the same last month and got my hopes up after a stupid Google but AF arrived bang on time. Think maybe it's the body having a clear out or something!

Happy Saturday! AF due Monday and PMS in full swing - boobs are like painful watermelons, I want to kill my DP and afternoon napping is becoming a must.

Only thing that’s REALLY been odd this month is that TMI (soz) but I’ve had really really wet knickers. I’m kinda worried I’ve got some kind of infection, no other symptoms mind you of one. What do you even do about one if the doctors are off limits? I’m hoping AF will sort it out.
