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!

Hi rose. I have my fingers crossed you get a clear line tomorrow. I'm still bleeding, heavily. No idea what's going on, it it's AF it's a bad one! I was convinced that my symptoms were leading to a BFP too. Gutted. I'll keep checking in for news from you guys.

confusedat23 · 14/01/2017 21:13

Rose we are literally identical!!.. i feel like im getting pulls and cramps like i am on but not.. my CM is also the same as you and im getting more and more of it... also heartburn at least once a day but i am only 8dpo but i did buy 2superdrug early tests today to test on Tuesday earliest!

confusedat23 · 14/01/2017 21:14

I'm so sorry for you Bluebell i think it may be worst seeing your GP to explain 2confirmed chemicals and 1 potential and they should look into it Flowers

Roseandbee · 14/01/2017 21:35

Thanks bluebell. Are you suspecting it might be another chemical? I know bleedings generally not a good sign but it's not unheard of to have it when pregnant. 2 months ago I got all the symptoms I got this time, was late for AF then bled heavy, so I did wonder wether maybe something had happened but nothing showed on tests even when I was late, n then last month I bled from OV till AF? But had a normal AF. I'll get my day 21 blood test results next week hopefully. Not sure what other tests they can do after that. But I'm due another doctors appointment where I'll bring up the odd bleeding.

Confused - well I certainly hope this isn't just what I'm like now pre AF as it means I'm pretty much gonna be uncomfortable all the time for half the month. If I don't get a bfp then I'll discuss my symptoms with the doctor soon

confusedat23 · 14/01/2017 22:07

Are these unusual symptoms for you Rose I know they are for me but I do worry incase I am looking too much into these things!

Roseandbee · 14/01/2017 22:58

Generally my only pre AF symptoms used to be a few spots. A low mood about two days before & a horrible cramp just as it was starting properly. But I did have similar symptoms the cycle before last & then I was late by a good few days which is unusual for me. But don't know if it was perhaps a chemical pregnancy or some kind of hormonal thing making everything go haywire.

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 10:26

Did you test last time ot was like this Rose... also i feel like im really having a battle inside my head atm because i want to believe these are good signs but i'm trying not to get my hopes up too much!

Roseandbee · 15/01/2017 11:23

No developments this morning still just seeing what could be completely imaginary lines. And I think I've made myself feel sick trying to focus too hard lol. Having a bit of a duvet day today as don't feel great, dizzy, tired & there's a disco happening in my tummy again.
Confused- I think the only way to not get your hopes up is if you are aware you didn't dtd on the right day as even if you have no symptoms you can get a bfp.
I did test negative last time & it was the most convinced I'd been yet that I was PG, even missed out on drinks a few times even after getting negatives as I just didn't know what was going on

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 16:32

Yeah I guess you are right Rose i think it is so unfair that the symptoms of PMS and and pregnancy are so similar... like i know my body isn't normally like this but it still doesn't make me anymore likely to be pregnant! Lol... on the otherhand I also cannot stop eating today!! But i am not sure what that indicates lol Confused

Roseandbee · 15/01/2017 16:48

my appetites increased over the last few days too, i did quite well over christmas too and now i'm pigging out, I do usually get hungry the day before AF. I had some very light spotting today, which again could be pre AF spotting or implantation, who knows! just gonna monitor it, was light brown and very light so I think possibly different to my usual pre AF spotting as its a bit heavier.
Is your cramping both sides? mine seems to favour the left

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 17:29

Hmmm very odd rose do you check your cervix position mine is mega low (i know because I have never managed to feel it before) still getting lots of white discharge which looks wet on knickers (sorry if TMI!) it actually reminds me of being on the pill!...

Ooo could be implantation! How many dpo are you? I've just stayed milky white (not even a bit see through)

Ermm my cramps just seem to be womb area as opposed to one side... although i have a bit of a backache which is more on my left!

Roseandbee · 15/01/2017 18:28

Mines high and tilted to the left? I don't really track it though, think its often high but didn't think it was usually tilted:-/ I think i'm 10dpo.
Yes its sort of in my back too, i'm generally just not feeling great today. cant believe its still 4 more days till AF, time used to go much faster when I wasn't paying much attention to my cycles.

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 18:52

I know Rose and can you believe there is just no clear information because everyones body has the audacity to be different! Lol

When do you think you are going to test?

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 19:04

Do you reckon there could be an absolute squinter in these pics!?!? (I know im going crazy!)

Roseandbee · 15/01/2017 19:39

There is def something there, the only problem is I cant tell if its pink at all? grey could be evap line or indent i think, but possibly it is pink?
its better than mine though which is why i didn't post a photo haha.
FX!
have you tried any more tweaking? , are you 9dpo and was it fmu or have you just done it?

OnNaturesCourse · 15/01/2017 20:08

Hi ladies, would you mind if I butted in?

I'm TTC#1 and I'm 4-5 dpo. This is my first month off birth control so I'm unlikely to be pg but I'm having the most horrific PMS symptoms. I'm due AF in 5 days so my ovulation was extremely late or my AF calculations are a little off.

My symptoms are all similar to what you have discussed on here... cramps, bloating, terribly sore boobs, tiredness... and over the last few days I've completely snapped at my DP more times than I care to admit too. 😑 Really don't want to get my hopes up but I can't recall being this PMS-y pre BC. All I used to get was cramps the day before and moods at the same time.

My discharge is also a concern. I can't deal with the amount of post ovulation creamy white stuff... and constantly feeling like something was "going to go" down there. keep going to the loo expecting AF early.

Is my body really this crazy?! Some small part of me misses my BC because of it all. 😖

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 20:12

I wanted to try that one where the line goes blue if it is there but not sure how!

Also this was FMU i just didnt believe it this morning! Lol i thought i was being mad and that there couldnt possibly be anything there!

OnNaturesCourse · 15/01/2017 20:17

I can just see a wee line, looking good!

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 20:32

Thanks Natures what BC method were you using?

I didn't get any symptoms in my first post BC cycle but my friend has developed the worst PMS! She has gone psycho lol... basically it is different for everyone

I would test if no AF when expected and then test every week until either AF or BFP

OnNaturesCourse · 15/01/2017 20:35

I was on the pill.

I honestly feel like I've gone crazy. I'm swinging from happy to crazy in seconds. And I'm exhausted so it's making it worse. My poor DP thinks I've lost the plot lol xx

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 21:09

Do you think you could wait a week to test? An LP of 10 days would be quite short but how do you know when you ov'd?

Roseandbee · 15/01/2017 21:12

Hi Natures :) I went off and on the pill a few times, i wasn't ever trying to conceive straight after coming off the pill, but I definitely just felt normal. It is possible to conceive the first month, but also i imagine its possible that coming off the pill has side effects, though if thats what it is it should subside after a couple of months.
Ive been similar going from snappy to super happy. So ill snap at my husband then tell him i love him whilst dancing round the living room, hmm thats possibly TMI & you will think i've lost the plot

Confused - can you see any pink? what test did you use and are you gonna test again tomorrow or wait? after this morning i was like, well ill give it another day or two before testing (as not much to see on mine really). Now i'm thinking ill test again in the morning haha

confusedat23 · 15/01/2017 21:18

Yeah Rose i was fortunate like you and didn't have any issues coming off the pill the few times i have.

Hmm i don't know... I am going to wait until Tuesday to do one but deffo waste an OPK tomorrow morning i want to do one tomorrow but i have this completely irrational fear of seeing a BFN lol

Roseandbee · 15/01/2017 21:33

confused - yeah i know what you mean, i suppose if a line is faint then potentially it might not get detected the next day or by a diff test even if you are pg & it would be sensible to give the hcg some time to increase.
By the by i'm a bit alarmed that you've been checking your cervical position with those nails, ouch!
;-P
