3dpo - anyone else?

Hi all 👋🏻

I'm currently 3dpo.. wondering if anyone else is roughly the same and doing the 2ww?! I haaaaate waiting. It feels like a punishment 🤣 just hoping for someone to go through this with!

Ah glad you’re good. Definitely worth a try, they say every other day is good so 🤞🤞yeah not too bad thanks. We’re taking a break from actively ttc this month. Me and hubby both started taking some different supplements and I’m also trying opk strips to check in ovulating when I think I am for the first time this month. Hoping it’ll all help our chances next month 😊

Hello! I'm good thanks, how are you? I am NOT testing early this month, what will be will be! Just DTD for the first time since AF even though it's a low chance! Just going to go every other day or so this time, until well after the 7th when (arrcording to 3 different apps 🤣) I ovulate.

How are you doing?

obviously none of us are in our tww now but how’s everyone doing? 😊

Same here! I haven't bothered testing now she's fully here but Thursday and Friday I did when just spotting! So frustrating! Hoping she buggers off now so I can ovulate before we go on holiday 🤣

Morning, AF has most definitely just been messing with me. Just done a test, negative as expected. I’ve never had such a weird cycle before, hopefully just a one off 🙈

Peanutbutterjelly123 · 29/03/2025 03:55

I really hope everything settles for you both, sounds like your bodies are messing with you this month. X

CrazyKJ · 28/03/2025 20:38

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate ah man that’s annoying. It’s always the way isn’t it 🤷🏻‍♀️
AF has turned into spotting like it’s stopping again now. If it’s still like it in the morning I might actually have to test. I really don’t think I am but this is driving me crazy 🙈

Oh that's annoying! It now changes ovulation to when we are on holiday with DS, and fertile window opens next weekend, which is so busy for us with a birthday party to host 😤

If it were me, Id probably log from today if it was so little before. We’ve not used opks but have just bought some to try. My understanding is that just test with them until you get the strongest line, and make sure to dtd when it seems to be getting darker so you catch the peak.
AF seems to have returned slightly this afternoon, its just all so odd as I don’t usually stop start. Going to just see what happens, definitely not enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions with it all at the minute 🙈

AF has finally got to how she normally begins! I never usually get spotting first, just straight into it. Would I still log 26th as the start of AF do you think or today? I'm clueless! Last time I didn't worry about any of this but now I'm older and want another one so much!

Does anyone do the OPKs? What exactly am I looking for on those?

All good here. I’m still dubious it’s gonna be a sticky bean after the amount of bleeding I had during what I now know to be implantation. We will see, but tests are progressing nicely.

Not to get your hopes up, but I also had headaches from my bleed, and still do now. Was one of my signs that I didn’t even realise xx

CrazyKJ · 28/03/2025 09:43

How’s everyone today?
My AF has apparently stopped after 2 days and I’ve woken up with a headache the last 2 days so don’t really know what to make of it all 😩

CrazyKJ · 27/03/2025 16:29

Ah how annoying! Hopefully AF sorts herself out so you know what’s what 😬 Weirdly my AF is suddenly almost non existent, normally have another 3 or 4 days to go at this point so also wondering wtf is going on 🤷🏻‍♀️

FFS I feel like AF is teasing me 🙃 normally I come on straight away and its so obvious, and TMI but I had the slightest bit of blood on my tampons yesterday and same so far today. Like, do I count yesterday as the start of AF or when it starts heavier like usual?! Why do this nowwwww 😤

Peanutbutterjelly123 · 27/03/2025 02:11

Thanks all. As I say not hopeful. But will get in touch with my consultant if tests progress over the weekend.
It was a massive shock that’s for sure xx

Congratulations! Hope it's a super sticky bean for you 🥰

How bizarre but Congrats @Peanutbutterjelly123, hopefully it sticks around!! 🤞🤞🤞

Peanutbutterjelly123 · 26/03/2025 18:00

We’ve had a bit of a shock on my end. After having a 5 day fairly heavy period I tested positive on my ovulation test yesterday (thought CD7) and today. Dr Google suggested a pregnancy test, lo and behold a BFP. It was definitely negative the day before bleeding started. With the amount of blood we’re not hopeful it will be a sticky bean so taking it day by day.

& yes I did loads of tests just to be sure 🙈

3dpo - anyone else?

If it came slightly earlier I'd get a little hospital break over my birthday 🤣

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate When I worked it out with my dates I think it was around 30th Dec 😊

I love the idea of a newborn at Christmas but not the thought of being in hospital around that time 🙈

I'm fine thank you! After your comment I'm hoping that if she's on the way anyway then she can come tomorrow.. that way I CAN have a late December baby! That would work for me.

Sorry to hear that, hope you’re okay @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate

Eurgh, I can definitely feel that AF is on her way!

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 25/03/2025 12:22

Morning! AF has arrived today. I thought it was going to happen but still gutted. We’re taking a break this cycle to avoid a late December due date. So on to May now for us I guess. Fingers crossed for everyone else though 🤞 Xx
