3DPO and feeling poorly 😔 TWW buddies?

[Twitchett22]

3DPO and feeling generally shit. Tiny little stabbing pains in my pubic area and my lower back is killing. Feeling sick and generally full. Have a feeling I'm just getting a bug but can't help wondering if it's something else. I know 3DPO is far too early for any kind of symptoms but its always in the back of my mind 🤷🏼‍♀️
Anyone else's AF due around 21st feb?

I do genuinely think the less you think about it the easier it is to conceive, but of course that's much easier said than done. I never thought I would be obsessing like I am now but I can't help it. I think that's why I don't wanna mention it to DP coz he'll just say I'm stupid for obsessing.
Maybe you'll have twins then you'll be done 😛

@twitchett22 oh ideal!!

Yeah I'm gonna try make a conscious effort next cycle to relax a bit more for sure!

Clutching at straws a bit but has anyone ever had constipation as an early pregnancy sign? Can't work out if I'm getting period type pains or i need a poo (i am more constipated than usual). Also definitely getting sharp pains low down on the left. 13dpo today 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Twitchett22 I've not heard of that but fingers crossed it is for you.

I caved and did a test yesterday, BFN which I knew it would be because it's too early for me and wasnt FMU. Don't know why I did it, just couldn't stop myself, idiot! Now I don't have any more tests which makes it simple at least. I have some more on order but will will wait until Monday.

I noticed today I have gone off chocolate, which did happen with my first. Usually I have a massive sweet tooth. Silly getting my hopes up but it's hard not too.

Isn't it funny all the things you notice about your body when you're paying attention. This stuff is probably there all the time you just don't think about it. Enough to drive you crazy. to everyone, it's tough

@Loladisco i know what you mean. I'm thinking to myself 'am i normally constipated before AF? Do I normally get cramps 2 days before AF?' like I feel i just don't know my body at all anymore. I absolutely hate obsessing. At least I don't sound completely crazy if we're all in the same boat 😂

@Twitchett22 I have read that!! Apparently it has to do with the relaxin hormone making your large intestinal muscles less active and has to do with the uterus expanding? Might be worth a google so you can see if it sounds like what you are going through 😊

Just got my period early, heavily, in Morrison's, all the way thru to my jeans so that's me out

Going to order agnus castus and coenzyme q10 now

@inahaze oh I'm sorry. AF seems to be even more of a nasty bitch when your TTC.

Thanks @twitchett22 I'm now reading 100 things about periods being early and a new found neurotic level

Bollocks anyway @inahaze 👎

I think I'll be joining you later today.

Agnus Castus is definitely worth a shot!

Last month my period was early. It's NEVER been early ever. It's like mother nature thought oh you're TTC I'll just send you an unexpected, heavy, painful period to kick you while you're down.

@inahaze sorry to hear

At least now it's there, fresh cycle, fresh attempt x

Thanks everyone

@Blackbelt I'm so sorry to hear about your chemical
It has taken me by surprise how obsessed I have become, but I think when you decide you want to start your family you just want it right now!

@Fifol We got married in April and decided to come off the pill in Sept to get prepared for when we wanted to start TTC. As soon as I came off it I cried every month my period came and it really took me by surprise how quickly it consumed me. I see hubby's judgemental face every time I open Flo and gaze at dates haha

@Twitchett22 Hubby has banned me from tests before AF is due haha but I can't help myself. My friend, who was in this situation last year, told me about ovulation tests so now I am also addicted to POAS haha

@inahaze Sorry to hear about AF I'll probably be joining you in the next 2 days xx

I am TTC for the first time. I have felt so anxious recently but speaking to you all on this thread has already made me feel so much better! No AF today but might come on Saturday. My cycle is 26 days, then 28 days, 26, 28, 26 and so on so this month should be 28 days.
It's comforting to know if it does appear we can start next cycle together xx

@MrsLlama89 we are in this together x it is a tough time when AF arrives so I have been feeling fragile but have to move on and keep hopeful x

My lower back has been aching badly for the last two days. It's very bad like the sort of pain which takes away your sense of humour and nothing I'm taking is touching it. I'm due AF today or Saturday so I'm resigned to that being the source, so much so that I kept rushing to check my underwear if I felt like something was coming down. I've resorted to tampons because I decided it would let me relax. But all it's been so far is fairly mucky CM and one incident of a dash of pink spotting. Nice. Anyho I know if I POAS then AF will immediately show up and then Ill feel like an idiot for wasting a test and being hopeful when it's glaringly obvious this is a period.

No real point to this I just want to complain about my back 😂 as DH is away and the children are on holidays this week. I'm sat down with a glass of red before I start dinner, while they chill out watching tv, hoping the medicinal affects of alcohol hurry along AF and my backache resolves. 🤞 🍷

@calimommy I'm in the same boat!

Sure af is arriving today so I've stuck a pad on in anticipation!

Just so ready to start a new cycle now!

How's everyone feeling about this next one?

It's nice that we're all ovulating within a couple days of each other 💕

AF due today. Pink smear when i wiped this morning so was pissed off but since then absolutely nothing. I'm going crazy 🤯

Also feeling a bit faint and fuzzy headed. Went to McDonald's drive thru and they forgot my chips. Now I'm sat in the car park crying and I don't want to go back in and ask for them 😂 fucking hormones.

Drives you mad doesnt it!
My af also due today no sign very watery cm feel like I've wet myself and cervix so high cant reach it but rhr has dropped today so not feeling awfully positive

@Twitchett nooooo I cant believe they left those out!! I hope AF stays away! 🙅🏼‍♀️
Keep us posted!

Decided to test (no idea why) and bfn. I would have thought that it would have showed by now on a FRER? But again didn't use FMU. I literally have no willpower 😂 still no sign of AF so just keeping everything crossed for the weekend.

@twitchett22 hope you get sorted soon. Did you know if you ovulated at the time you thought? My january cycle was 56 days, just randomly. I must have ovulated way later but hadn't been using opk so didnt really know. It's a mind f* for sure.

@HalfPenny28 yes will be nice to go through it together! I'm actually feeling quite positive, I was looking back over my last few cycles and this is actually only my 5th cycle of ttc. And really and truly it's only my 2nd cycle of ttc because for the first few I didnt really know what I was doing and my timing (in hindsight) was wrong. So I'm hoping that with a bit more knowledge now and being more prepared this could be the one!!
