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!

Just checking in to log the data as I know what it's like when you're Googling the hell out of stuff like this 😅
Its now 12 dpo (bearing in mind Im just using Clue for this). Period due the day after tomorrow.
Got that fiery, heavy pressure going on still even stronger than yesterday but this is classic PMS sign for me. Still no sign of tender boobs at all which is unusual for me. Woke up feeling starving despite eating loads last night, very unusual for me.
It definitely feels like my period is about to drop, just the lack of tender boobs is weird, that's normally a dead giveaway and happens about 3 days before for me.
My period runs like clockwork so should definitely be here on Thursday, the way Im feeling I wouldn't be surprised if it actually came tomorrow though.

My anxiety is much better now than it was back then. Although I am nervous, I’m actually looking forward to the scans this time round. I think knowing what to expect helps 😊

Oh no , hoping it is much better for you this time. That must have been so difficult x

Yeah I used to find medical appointments really difficult so didn’t want to do any more than were necessary. I would step in the hospital and feel so anxious, my heart rate would go crazy, to the point I was nearly admitted at one point 🙈. I’m loads better now though. I do like the thought of seeing baby more this time and that’s a lovely idea taking DS 😊

I think we told family probably around 8-10 weeks, but i could be lying 🫣 I told my closest friends almost immediately! I think i will tell my boss and HR tomorrow as they will need to approve my absence for my booking appt.

Ahh did you not? I loved them! We had a gender one at 16 weeks, which we will definitely do again, and had a couple more closer to the time as I had a fair bit of reduced movements! I loved them so cant wait to do them again and take our DS with x

We’ve told one friend but that’s it for now. We didn’t tell family til the 12 week scan last time and would like to do the same again. I have been thinking about private scans, we didn’t have extras with our son, so almost feel a bit guilty about doing it this time round 🙈

I was expecting to be 8 weeks as that's how it was with my first, but she said if she can get me booked in for that at 6 weeks I can have a scan sooner! Which I'm not complaining at. I think I'm going to book more private scans this time round as this is more than likely to be my last baby, want to enjoy it fully.

Haven't told any family, so I'll have to go alone to my booking in appt as DH will be business as usual looking after DS. Have told my two best friends. I work with them but trust them not to say anything! Have you? X

I’m 5 weeks now, think they aim to do them around 8 weeks here. I’m not overly worried since there’s still time, but don’t want it to be too last minute incase I need to arrange childcare. That’s typical lol 😂 I will need to tell work soon because of the job I do, but am hoping to hold off for a few more weeks so hoping a phone call doesn’t out me lol. Have you told any family or friends yet? X

How far along are you now? I filled mine in on Saturday and they called today... whilst I was on a run with people from work who obviously dont know I'm pregnant yet 🙈 she was like "you sound out of breath...." 🤣

CrazyKJ · 16/06/2025 18:19

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate glad you’re okay 😊 The nausea really hit this morning but otherwise im feeling pretty good thanks. Still not heard back from the midwife for mine, so almost guarantee they’ll call tomorrow while im working 😂

@Jigaliga hope whatever the outcome you feel okay about it 🤞

Well good luck. I hope you end up happy with the outcome, whatever that may be!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate
Im honestly not sure! I think whatever the outcome my mind will be torn. I'll wait for period to come since I'm not actively hoping for a pregnancy!

@Jigaligaare you going to wait and see if your period arrives before testing or do one early? Ahh do you want children? I had no symptoms at all but don't for my period either, except cramps right before!

I'm ok thanks @CrazyKJhow are you? I find it very hit and miss with the notifications!! Just got my booking in appointment for 2 weeks time. Earlier than last time, not sure if that's because I'm now geriatric 🫠

OP posts:

I had unprotected sex with my partner a day before ovulation (according to my period tracking app) - really dumb I know, we have been together for years now. Im not sure what I want the outcome to be. Period is due in 3 days and I have this dull heavy feeling in my uterus, but i get that as part of PMS anyway.
What's unusual though is that I always get mental moodswings and really tender breasts as part of PMS and am having none of that this month.
Also I am really hungry and binge eating like a bitch for the past week when I normally dont ever feel hungry.
That could just be work stress though.

CrazyKJ · 16/06/2025 16:01

Sorry didn’t get a notification you’d posted 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gosh would it be crazy if it actually turns out to be twins!! Even crazier since you didn’t think you’d dtd enough for it to even happen this month lol. Hope you’re doing okay X

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 14/06/2025 15:20

I do know someone else that happened to. Had one child and the next one was actually twins! On one hand I'd absolutely love it... on the other I might go mad 🫠

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate2-3weeks showing already.and twins in the family😃 imagine if it is!

CrazyKJ · 14/06/2025 14:25

Yeah my understanding is that the number refers to weeks after conception so 12dpo would usually show 1-2 if that makes sense. Don’t think it’s a bad thing just means it’s registering more hcg, must be a super sticky little bean ❤️

Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate · 14/06/2025 14:19

You are right there @peanutForever!

@CrazyKJ oh really? Someone on another thread I'm on did suggest it would say 1-2 weeks today and 2-3 by next Thursday!

OP posts:
CrazyKJ · 14/06/2025 14:11

Aw yay! Interesting that you’re at 2-3 already. My digital read 1-2 at the same point. Must have really strong hcg 😊

peanutForever · 14/06/2025 07:26

Congratulations 🙌🏽 nothing quite like seeing a digital!
