3dpo thread!

Hello, I’m currently (well.. I think!) 3dpo today and wanted to start a thread for anyone in a similar position. I had mild cramping yesterday, which seemed strange for early dpo but I think anything can happen and our bodies do strange things.

Bit of background info for me, I’m 30, currently on month 9 trying to conceive, had a chemical MC last March so hoping for some positivity. 😩

@Amy1010101 ah I’m gutted for you. Really sounds like a great idea. I think stress really does make a difference. Wishing you all the best hun x

I’m now officially late as no AF yet which is unusual for me but tests still negative accept one vvv faint line on an internet cheapie which my husband doesn’t see! I’m so confused

SammiStap · 12/09/2021 12:14

Aww, sounds like a good plan @Amy1010101

Hello everyone, AF arrived yesterday Sad I’m going to give it a break for a while, I can’t bear the disappointment each month. I really think I’m not conceiving due to underlying stress.. so I need to chill the flip out. This time I’m going to focus on my new role at work, watch how much I eat (I’m gaining wait very fast) and enjoy outdoor activities and nature. I’m also going to stop tracking my ovulation. I conceived the first time without tracking or trying that hard. X

Mother Nature playing mind games! I’m due tomorrow but definitely no symptoms that I wouldn’t normally have so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also AF hasn’t shown up yet. I still have very sore boobs. My cycle must be just confused (this is the first time AF hasn’t been regular)

Tested again today still negative. I think I ovulated very late this month as when I was tracking it I got my peak on day 21 which is quite late. So I’m confused.

@Amy1010101 so sorry! Sounds like a good idea, just be care free for a bit. No more peeing on sticks endlessly!

Just took a test, very negative, oh well. I think I’m going to have a break for a few months. I can’t stop thinking about it so be good to have a break for the sake of my sanity. I’ll do another test tomorrow just in case but I’m not holding my breath. Let me know how you all get on!

@Amy1010101 fingers crossed!!!!
@Hello47 aww that’s rubbish!! Hope your all better soon xx

Hello47 · 09/09/2021 17:05

@Amy1010101 eeee! Hope it’s a BFP for you.

@SammiStap so glad you’re feeling positive! Sending alllll the positive vibes your way

I’m have a bit of a mare, got a chest infection, on antibiotics and feeling very sorry for myself at home. I’m going a bit mad at home with nothing else to do!!

Still waiting for my tests to show up! No AF yet so I think 2 days late. I feel like it’s going to show up soon though, mega mega sore boobs. Only time will tell!

I’m 10 dpo today. I feel a lot happier today and more positive. Cm is quite creamy/lotiony with a yellowish tinge to it. Sorry tmi! Very very mild twinge/cramp lower right hip side but not as bad as the last couple days. Time will tell!
Hope your all ok xx

SammiStap · 08/09/2021 15:17

It’s just terrible, I feel like it’s taking over my life and I just can’t go an hour without thinking about something stupid.

Hello47 · 08/09/2021 14:18

Hi,

@Amy1010101 definitely let us know how you get on testing!

@SammiStap on due 11th. So not long to go. My cycles are short though 24-26days so hopefully it’s not going to become an issue. I feel exactly the same as you, just really down in the dumps, pretty sure I’m out this month

SammiStap · 08/09/2021 11:39

Aww @Amy1010101 this is just horrible isn’t it?
I’m quite depressed today as for some reason I just think I’m not pregnant. I’m dpo 9 I think 8/9 anyway, and I feel on and off nausea and got very mild cramping and aches and pains and I’m kind of fed up! I just feel it’s prepping for af next week ☹️

Little update, I think I’m 12dpo today, haven’t taken a test today, waiting for some to be delivered today. I’m pretty sure I’m out this month. AF is a day late according to my apps. I feel nauseous though but that could be AF doing it’s thang however I ovulated very late this month so my cycle will be all over the place. Boobs are sore still but that’s typical before period. I will let you know what the tests say later or if AF shows up.

No worries! Thank you for trying though. I’m supposed to ovulate either today or tomorrow. But I keep seeing clumps of white discharge in the toilet when I go..

SammiStap · 07/09/2021 21:02

@kirinm your not out until the witch shows up! X

SammiStap · 07/09/2021 21:00

@Hello47 oh amazing! Nice to have a buddy. When is af supposed to be due for you? It’s the 13th for me I think. I’ve held off testing and will try too until af comes or not.
My cervix is high I think and feels soft too and got lotiony cm…kind of 🤣

@MamaNeedsBabydust I’m not too sure. Sorry I can’t really help, but the creamy lotion cm might be just before or just after ovulation?

MamaNeedsBabydust · 07/09/2021 18:23

Hello! I’m new. I know that CM and discharge and such arent conductors of telling if you are pregnant or not, but I’m confused on mine and would hopefully like some insight.

3 days my guy and had sex and I am sure he did the deed inside, obviously.. anyway.. the three days leading up to and that day I had slipped super wet, not sticky discharge. The day after I don’t even remember honestly, but yesterday’s was super creamy and lotion like, just like today but it’s also been kinda sticky and clear and lotion like at the same time. From charting, I was to ovulate today.. I don’t always notice when I am. I’m not due for my period until at least the 22nd.. so I’m trying my hardest to put it all together to know MAYBE what to expect. Hopefully someone can help me! Thanks!

And sorry I posted a thread for this too, just seen this and figured I’d ask you all.

Hello47 · 07/09/2021 17:54

Hi

@Amy1010101 how you feeling today? So glad you have a supportive partner. Makes all the difference!

@SammiStap I’m 8dpo today too! Also feeling a bit cramp and cervix is high & soft which is suppose to be a good sign. Took a test this morning and BFN though so going to try leave for 2 days and retest.

kirinm · 07/09/2021 17:52

I'm 12dpo today and had a bfn this morning so I'm definitely out.

SammiStap · 07/09/2021 16:55

Is anyone 8dpo today?
My cm is quite creamy, wet and quite a bit of it (sorry tmi) and cp seems highish and soft still….wondered if anyone knew if this is a sign? Also slightly crampy today but not much and been a bit down in the dumps this afternoon.

Aww thank you lovelies. I think I will be taking a break from tracking everything. I just can’t help but worry now. Whenever I bring it up with my partner I find it hard not to feel emotional. He’s super loving and supportive which definitely helps… just wish I was kinder to myself.
