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?

Still no sign of AF! Officially one day late lol I've never been late before! Still have cramps too, like dull constant cramps since Thursday. Was thinking maybe it's implantation cramp but this is the 4th day and means it took around 12 days to implant?!?!? Fed up of google 😂 BFN this morning and will most likely keep POAS until AF arrives... send help or somebody block my debit card to stop me from buying more tests 🙈

@MrsLlama89 its sounding good so far! Hope she stays away for you, one of us needs a bfp! I know what you mean about POAS 😂 I'm on my period so very blatently not pregnant but still look at my tests in the bathroom and think hmmm what if i am... 😂 It drives you crazy!
Me and OH have agreed that we will make more of an effort to DTD next cycle and I'm absolutely NOT going to symptom spot or test until a whole week after AF is due.
Lets all laugh together... 🤪

@twitchett we will support each other! Defo going to be dtd the whole time during the fertile window!!!
@MrsLlama89 oh keep us posted x

I don't have any pregnancy tests at home, DH is away and I just can't bring the three children with me to buy some 🙈 I feel like people look at me like I'm crazy as it is. I probably am crazy. CD31, my apps say tomorrow af is due. I think it's such a long cycle estimate because I O'd later than expected (cd17 I think it was). Also nervous to test because, well you know, that fricking BFN, maybe just as well I don't have any. I'll sit on my hands until tomorrow and maybe af will save me the cost of the test! 😭😂

Feel like I've run out of patience, been trying since August, had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in October, really hope March is my month and wishing you all baby dust!! I'm CD5 now and ovulating around this time next week xx

@AliSxo same here! Been trying since August as well, though got my bfp early September and miscarriage at 12 weeks end October so we are in a very similar boat.

I'm on Cd3 so let's be there for each other this month, it is getting a bit much isn't it!

@ChampooPapi I'm sorry about your 12 week loss, I lost one at 11 weeks and it was soul destroying holding that tiny little baba in my hand. Baby dust for you all x

@calimommy that's so kind of you to post, your loss sounds a horrific experience and honestly mine wasn't anywhere as bad as that.

I found out at the 12 week scan but I wasn't that far along, things seemed to have stopped developing around 8 weeks so it was all very confusing but I didn't see anything really bad. Not anything that I understood anyway!

My body had been producing a lot of hormones to 'keep things going' which was the worst part as I felt sick as a dog right up until the 12 week scan.

Cycle 5 and I'm going to try incredibly hard to say bugger off to every negative thought and just live my life to the fullest. I am vowing to sing at the top of my lungs at least once a day and to count my blessings each morning.

Let's do it 💪🌈✨

@ChampooPapi yes we've got each other this cycle, we're in really similar boats so let's hope March is our month!! Have you noticed a change in your periods since your MC? It's hard to judge mine I thought they'd become heavier with more stringy bits sorry Tmi but I only came off the pill in August so not had a natural period for many years!! X

Feeling positive this cycle girls, I think we are all gonna have some good news in March! I'm actually so excited!!

I hope so @Fifol sometimes it's best when a new cycle starts, feeling more positive too and really hope we all get some baby dust this month! X

@Fifol @AliSxo me too 🙋🏼‍♀️ af should be done by end of today so ready to start again!

What's everyone trying this cycle?

I read somewhere that dtd everyday doesn't actually help but I read all sorts of contradicting things!

Weirdly I'm feeling positive this cycle too!!
It's our 3rd anniversary this weekend and we have a night in a hotel, coinciding with ovulation I hope!

This month I'm trying
Sex every other day (not daily as before!)
Coenzyme q10
Agnus castus
OPK
And need to buy some preseed too or whatever it's called

Sorry to hear of people's losses. Really hoping baby dust soon for everyone

Hey everyone. Hope you are all doing ok. AF showed up this morning bang on time. A relief really to be free from the second guessing madness and getting hopes up for a few weeks. This cycle I will be just trying to relax and not get carried away with everything. I might tell DH to hide my tests too. I hate that I've wasted so much money and plastic testing unnecessarily!

Definitely going to try be a bit more relaxed this time.

Going to dtd every second night and then probably every day the few days around ovulation as I dont want to miss the window. @inahaze lots of conflicting info, I've read you should do every second day but have also ready every day is fine and doesn't have a neg impact on sperm. Hard to know but gonna do every day around ov.

Think ov will be in 9 or 10 days for me, I'm currently on CD6

@HalfPenny28 I'm actually going to try using opk's for the first time. 5th month here. January dtd like mad, nearly every day, February tool a very relaxed approach, neither worked so going to use the opk's and it'll be luck of the draw again I imagine. But need to do something this month proactively as was so slack the last one!

Going to do tonight, leave it 2 days and then I'll be in my fertile window and we'll do every other day xx

I know many of you are now onto your next cycle, but I do want to update that AF was a no show today, hopefully she stays away! 🙅🏼‍♀️

@gingerglitter4ever fingers crossed for you!! Try and avoid the tests for a few more days if you can I know easier said than done xxx

@gingerglitter4ever same here I'm going to test in an hour or so

Update from me- had the most awful cramps all weekend and last night had some brown spotting. Today cramps are really bad again and have brown spotting (wee bit more of it than last night). I have no idea what's happening! Never had anything like this before 😩 I keep googling implantation cramps and bleeding but it says it shouldn't be as sore as this and I think the timeframe doesn't really work. In all honesty I don't have a clue, maybe it's just AF being really nasty this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

@calimommy @gingerglitter4ever fingers crossed for you.

@MrsLlama89 hope it all goes well for you and it isn't AF, I got back dated by through doing bbt, so now 11dpo again but have had brown/orange spotting with some red since 4dpo so completely fed up now, just wish AF would come so I don't have to keep waiting!

Thanks everyone! And good luck @calimommy ✨ I’ll keep you all updated!

@MrsLlama89 I hope everything turns out okay! Let us know how this situation develops!

Oh ladies I hope it's good news for you.

I've been going through ups and downs the last few days, of feeling very positive and then really emotional and sad... it's a bloody rollercoaster girls isn't it x

Will do, thank you ladies ❤️

@gingerglitter4ever @calimommy Fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏼

@Fifol It really is!! I keep randomly feeling teary since last Monday. It's hard to keep positive when you just want something so much right now! At least we have each other on this thread to bounce off and cheer each other up during the next cycle ❤️
