In the 2ww at 3DPO. Anyone else due to test around 16th Jan?! Need a companion!

Age: 27
Cycle: 3 (since mmc in Oct at 12+6)
CD: 17

3DPO

Ovulated on CD14 and we DTD CD9, CD11,CD13, CD14 and CD15 so hope we've covered bases.

We only DTD two times in my FWW in July when we fell pregnant so fx!

I'm excited for you bluebell as that definitely looks like a line!

You're making me want to go get an early test kit now.

Mrsbluebell17 · 12/01/2017 18:28

Hi Hanna. I'd hold out if you can, I just have no willpower!!! I still don't know whether I'm pg or not, even though I've done the test..... So I'm no better off! Confused

Mrsbluebell17 · 12/01/2017 18:28

Got my fx for us all x

Roseandbee · 12/01/2017 20:33

Bluebell that does look like a positive line to me, I was looking on some website where people post their POAS results n I reckon ones like that people were saying are positive.

Btw I've just noticed this thread. My AF is due on the 19th, I know I'll test earlier than that though!
Just started with OPKs so I think I dtd on the right days. But prior to that I've been off birth control for 2 and half years without getting pregnant. So I'm cycle 1 off properly tracking things, & erm cycle 31 otherwise Shock

Mrsbluebell17 · 12/01/2017 21:14

Thanks rose. Nice to have your positive thoughts and feedback. I'm sceptical due to previous tests. I feel nervous just thinking about it. I massively got my hopes up today - I couldn't stop thinking about it. Blush

Fingers crossed for you - not long to go. I'll keep looking out for updates.

Roseandbee · 12/01/2017 21:21

Well it's hard not to get your hopes up & considering you tested early a faint line is more likely. I have a lot of experience in BFNs & never had anything that could by any amount of squinting be mistaken for a positive, except the one time there was a little bit of fluff on my test lol Blush

GingerHanna · 13/01/2017 07:00

Well, no early testing for me. AF arrived overnight, two days early.

Sad but not surprised. At least she came early so I know already.

Mrsbluebell17 · 13/01/2017 08:59

Well ladies, I woke up, went to test and I'm bleeding Shock so all those hopes up for nothing.

Fingers crossed for the rest of you. X

confusedat23 · 13/01/2017 09:15

Hi Ladies can I join?

Rose I am due on 20th but I am already itching to test which is stupid!

Currently DPO7 and symptoms are being bloated, feeling heavy in the womb area and off and on nausea and hot flushes. I also have really creamy white CM (Sorry if TMI)

confusedat23 · 13/01/2017 09:16

Also sorry to hear you are bleeding Bluebell are you sure it is AF?

Mrsbluebell17 · 13/01/2017 09:26

Confused, I honestly don't know. It's heavy and red. I had what we think was a chemical in early December so I just don't know. I'll see how the bleeding goes over the next few days. Totally confused. Don't know what to think. Blush

confusedat23 · 13/01/2017 10:37

Hmm Bluebell have you tried testing again today?

juliettetango · 13/01/2017 11:48

Hi ladies I'm a new member on here. Due AF in 12 days. This is my first month since TTC (started September) that I've really obsessed over things. I tried the one step opk sticks but didn't ever get a positive so I'm not sure if I'm ovulating? Anyway.. this TWW business is stressing me out! Good luck everyone x

Mrsbluebell17 · 13/01/2017 12:20

Hi confused. No I disposed of my FMU as I was shocked by the bleeding. I'll see how long the bleeding lasts for and then perhaps retest to be sure. It might be AF, it might be a chemical. I'm gutted to say the least.

Roseandbee · 13/01/2017 12:35

Sorry to hear that bluebell, is it when you would normally have AF?

Hi confusedat23, me too! I know I'll test early, just with ICs though, if I actually have a later AF I might splash out on a first response.

I'm getting lots of cramping, bloating & tummy rumblings. If I get AF I might mention it to the doctor as its not normal for me to feel like this before AF, I did get similar the other month. Wonder if it's cos I started taking vitamin D as I came up as slightly deficient a few months back. It's been my first time ever ovulation spotting

confusedat23 · 13/01/2017 12:41

Flowers Bluebell hopefully its just a heavy implantation and the bean is giving it a good shuffle!

Rose I am going to test early too I think... although I usually spot for a few days before AF so maybe I wont have to... Superdrug have their early tests on sale at the moment (2 for £5) so i might treat myself!... i am not sure about the rubblings thing! Is it painful?

My stomach is like i've been pumped up by a balloon Sad its so uncomfortable!

Roseandbee · 13/01/2017 13:17

The rumblings aren't painful just very loud & gurggley. They are mostly at night. My cramps aren't that painful they feel like what I get during AF so mild tugging type. I basically feel like I'm having AF already just without the bleeding, even down to feeling a bit leaky. I did also used to spot about 4 days before AF but that seems to have changed over the past 3 months as well. So either it's a coincidence or something to do with the vitamin D

Roseandbee · 13/01/2017 13:21

Oh and bluebell I have everything crossed for you!

Mrsbluebell17 · 13/01/2017 13:25

Thanks everyone. My last few cycles have been 33 days and then 27 days. Yesterday was cd25. I would think it's too late for implantation. There's lots of blood (sorry for TMI), some small clots. And it's non stop. Feeling pretty rubbish. It's very similar to the heavy bleed I had at cd15/16 in cycle 2. Totally confused.

confusedat23 · 13/01/2017 13:34

bluebell Maybe go to see your GP next week? it i always best to get these odd things checked out! I am so sorry you have been through this though I can imagine you must be very confused and concerned.

What is you CM like Rose (If you don't mind me asking!)? I have heard that spotting before AF regularly is not a good thing but if it carries on I will try Vit D now you have said that!

Mrsbluebell17 · 13/01/2017 13:45

Thanks confused. I think I'll probably have to, although last time a bleed happened like this it was so heavy and on a Saturday so I called 111 who sent me to the urgent care centre - but they basically said if it doesn't stop in next day or so to go back. I didn't have a positive test then so there was nothing to go on. I'll see how the next few days go.

Roseandbee · 14/01/2017 00:58

Confused - I guess halfway between watery & creamy. I did actually go to the doctors about my spotting, I always used to spot a few days on the run up to full AF, then get a very painful cramp for a few hrs which was always followed by AF. But then I started spotting 5 days before AF stopping then starting again. I had a scan but nothing came up & the doctor said not to worry. There are a few articles about how vitamin D deficiency can cause infertility, I was put on it when it came up in my bloods as being low. It's very common in the UK as you mostly get it from the Sun!
I'm also having the painful bloating now. Bleurgh

Roseandbee · 14/01/2017 20:33

So I used on internet cheapy this morning. I reckon I OV somewhere between 4-6 of Jan. So I'm only a max of 10 dpo. I felt like I could almost see something. I'd post the pic only you'd think I was crazy. N my husband said he couldn't see anything so congratulations are definitely not in order. I'm pretty sure I'll end up testing again tomorrow as I have a lot of ICs. I know it's nothing to get excited about at this stage & then there's the risk of detecting a chemical pregnancy testing to early, but I'm at the stage where I'd rather just see what going on even if I have a chemical pregnancy as it is a worry that I've had over 30 cycles of unprotected bd (but maybe not well timed) & as far as I know nothing's happened
