3DPO and feeling poorly 😔 TWW buddies?

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?

@fifol I've never tracked ovulation so i don't know for definite, since coming off the pill my cycles have been 34 days, 33, 32 then the last one was 28 so i was just basing it off a 28 day cycle. DTD day before i thought i would ovulate and definitely had increased thick CM but who knows. A little window into our wombs would be very helpful.

@twitchett22 that sounds so similar to me last month so I really do feel for you. I literally have never been so happy to get my period, I had done a few tests and all bfn so knew I wasnt pregnant and it was just am AF waiting game.

It's a cruel game!

Nora11 · 21/02/2020 14:00

Awww that sucks @Twitchett22 😔 Hope AF comes soon IF she is coming (you never know..!)

I've started getting cramps so think AF will be with me soon too! I've just bought some ovulation strips, evening primrose oil and a cheap early detection test in preparation for next month though still hoping I won't need them! 🤞 I've only been guessing my ovulation so will be interesting to see when it actually happens...

Twitchett22 · 21/02/2020 14:03

Thanks. I just feel consumed by it all, I can't think about anything else so just want to know either way! Still feeling very light headed and off, which is unusual for me. And still having small pains on my left side. But i think I'm overthinking again 🙄 hope you girls have better luck than me this weekend!

AF is here! Going to curl up tonight with a hot water bottle and Prosecco and focus on the next cycle 💕 hope you're all okay xx

Twitchett22 · 21/02/2020 18:16

@HalfPenny28 thats shit! Although prosecco sounds amazing right now. I've just had another pale pink smear and crampings getting worse so I think I'll be joining you soon. Hope you're ok xx

Had cramps at work today so think AF will be making an appearance tonight or tomorrow morning! 😫

This was my first cycle using ovulation tests (clearblue digital) and it said I ovulated the day after Flo predicted, so it will be interesting to see what happens this cycle! I can't explain the excitement of getting the static smiley after 5 days of flashing smileys...it was like winning a game 😂

@Fifol I came off the pill in September but didn't really properly think about ovulation until December and had no clue what I was doing (felt like I was back in a science class haha). So I guess this is really only my 2nd cycle of TTC too!

gingerglitter4ever · 21/02/2020 18:38

@HalfPenny28 I’m really sorry to hear that 😕 take care of yourself and treat yourself well, you deserve it!

Fifol · 21/02/2020 19:19

@MrsLlama89 yeah so that made me feel really positive about it! Looking forward to BDing soon!

@HalfPenny28 hope you're ok. Treat yourself with whatever you want! And think of this as a fresh new start with some friends to share the journey with!!

Nora11 · 21/02/2020 19:58

My AF is officially here too... looks like a few of us are all in the same boat! I'm trying to look on the bright side as we are going away for the weekend so at least I can have some drinks 😊 next month will be our month AF buddies! and for those who she hasn't arrived for yet... Fingers crossed for you! 💖

inahaze · 21/02/2020 21:24

@Twitchett22 where are you DPO?

feeling very sorry for myself today, cycle day 2, trying to stay positive and think about a november baby. my small will be coming up 5 by then and already in primary.

@Nora11 @HalfPenny28 sorry to hear you also have AF

can't remember if i said but ive ordered some agnus castus and co-enzyme q10... can't do any harm right? puts my off buying ava bracelet for another month anyway.

i've been reading into SMEP but i'll have to start it all much earlier than testing OPK day 10 because I definitely feel like i'm ovulating earlier than that. I think i'll start OPK day 6 and have sex every other day next cycle, maybe daily is just too much!

anyone else agonise about "what went wrong last month" and then come up with plans for next time? even tho having sex whilst ovulating still only gives you like 25% chance.... mother nature is so cruel sometimes

Twitchett22 · 21/02/2020 21:29

@inahaze 14dpo today. had a bath earlier and when i got out had some blood dripping, wiped but still nothing on the pad so i don't know atm. Waiting for full blown AF now 🙄🙄

Hey all! I'm cd4 tomorrow, due to ovulate cd12-cd14... went to see my dr tomorrow, he said he's not worried about my fertility and my cycles are regular, the hospital won't see us until we've been trying for a year. I came off the pill in August, got pregnant on my 2nd cycle of trying but it was a miscarriage at 5 weeks. He said they'll do a blood test a week before my next period is due to check my hormones so I've got that booked in.... I mentioned me and my partner had mumps last year, he said there's a possibility it could cause low sperm count to my partner but they'll check all of that once we've been trying for a year. Seeming as we got pregnant in September and we had mumps earlier that year I'm hoping it rules out complete infertility for either of us...

He said DTD every 2-3 days with every other day during ovulation. Also the luteal phase should be the same length on each cycle and it's the first part of the cycle leading up to ovulation which may differ by a few days, that's correct for me I always spot or start AF on 12dpo.

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone else is thinking of seeing their GP xx

Twitchett22 · 22/02/2020 08:12

AFs here 🙃 I'm getting very drunk later on.

Twitchett22 · 22/02/2020 08:52

Also decided that next cycle I am NOT going to symptom spot (LOL) so if I do it on here can you all shout at me 😂 literally every symptom that i thought could be pregnancy related obviously isn't so i will keep telling myself there's no point. Not sure how successful that will be... 😂

gingerglitter4ever · 22/02/2020 10:26

@Twitchett22 I’m so sorry 😐 take care of you and your body and treat yourself right! I’ll let you know how
I get on after the weekend

Fifol · 22/02/2020 11:20

@Twitchett22 at least it's on to a fresh cycle now!

I am definitely with you, no symptom spotting this time around.

I've just read a book called the Impatient Womans Guide to Getting Pregnant. It's a lighthearted but informative read I'd highly recommend! I actually picked up a lot from it and it has definitely helped me feel more positive.

Twitchett22 · 22/02/2020 11:20

Thanks @gingerglitter4ever I'm actually ok this time, i think I'd already prepared myself. Just pissed off that I was too impatient to wait and wasted 2 tests 😂 good luck to you! There must be one of us on here with a bfp!

Twitchett22 · 22/02/2020 11:21

@Fifol yes onwards and upwards, and if its a xmas baby then so be it 😂😂

CD 30 here, my 3 day back ache has passed and no af. Did a test and BFN, I even squinted at it for ages like a looney. Af should really arrive today although my apps have it as tomorrow no idea why as I've not had a 31 day cycle but maybe they both know something I don't 🙈😂💀😭

calimommy · 22/02/2020 14:11

Actually now that I've POAS af should be here within the hour 😂👎👎👎👎👎👎

MrsLlama89 · 22/02/2020 19:07

When I woke up this morning and AF wasn't here I wasted yet another pregnancy test (BFN) 🙈 but AF always arrives first thing in the morning! I'm never late so couldn't help but feel excited this morning lol! I do have cramps but no sign yet. Can't even enjoy a glass of vino until it arrives! Will keep you all updated 💗

gingerglitter4ever · 22/02/2020 20:26

Going to bed at 9:30 the second night in a row after sleeping until 10:45 this morning 🆘

inahaze · 22/02/2020 20:27

I hope someone gets the supermoon baby!!
