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?

@gingerglitter4ever not really trying anything new. Second time using the clearblue digital opk. Second flashing smiley today. Dtd every second day and then closer to what I think will be ovulation will do every day I think whereas last time did every second day only. Dont know if thays any good I've heard it's fine to go every day and I've heard you should only go every second day so who knows, worth a try!

Just keeping positive and keep telling myself I'm going to conceive. Has to be worth a shot as well! I've been reading some stuff on positive affirmations!!

I think I'm due to ovulate a week today so next week just going to try and DTD every couple of days and the same the few days after ovulation to try and cover all bases. I definitely agree that a positive mental attitude helps! Obviously it can't physically get you pregnant 🤨😂 but it's definitely better than feeling stressed and anxious which must be better for your body. When's everybody else ovulating this cycle?

Ovulating tomorrow!!!! But no smiley face yet on the opk. We are staying in a hotel so might even get 2 sessions in!!!

I've been doing positive affirmations too, "I'm a fertile goddess" ;)

@inahaze 😂😂 i love the fertile goddess thought! I could do with a hotel stay i think... Except I'm poorly and OH is working overtime so it's gonna be a real effort this month 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think I'll be ovulating Tuesday or Wednesday. But making the most of flashing smiley faces for now ;)

So I use the apps femometer and Flo and both said ovulation would be Monday. However because I had EWCM today and I've inputted that to femometer it changed ovulation to today, I don't think I'm ovulating on CD10 it would then mean with my clockwork 12 day luteal phase I have a 22 day cycle which I've never had before. Also my OPKS aren't dark enough and I've been tracking since Tuesday so I haven't missed it. Does anyone else get ewcm 3 days before ovulation?

@AliSxo I had it 2 days before last time so it probably is possible. I have heard before that you should dtd when you see it as it's a good sign that you're at your most fertile! You'll probably have more over the next few days and in line with your opk getting darker

Another day of EWCM, not DTD today but will tomorrow morning.... trying every other day this cycle, ovulation I think will be Tuesday on cd14. I want to not test this month.... I'm ready to put the pee sticks down and wait for AF to tell me this month. I always spot/af arrives on 12dpo so I want to try and be calmer this month xx

How's everyone getting on? I'm either ovulating tomorrow or Tuesday... xx

Hey @AliSxo I think I'll be ovulating Tuesday or Wednesday so just slightly after you! All good here nothing out of the ordinary to report! Already dreading the tww but really really gonna try to just be positive but forget about it all as much as possible and know we have done all we can. A busy week ahead!!!
How are you?

I meant Wednesday or Thursday

Aww well there will be a few of us ovulating so we can all be TWW buddies!! Xx my OPKS are all over the place, I've actually got a positive OPK from Friday and I had ewcm - my OPKS since Friday are dark but the darkest is definitely Friday so I'm not sure what to think now!! It'll all balance out this week, generally femometer app is good with bbt for detecting the day of ovulation so I'll keep temping xx

These are the OPKS from Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday (today) would Fridays have been the positive OPK? It looks the darkest but I was only CD10 then which is early - would of meant I ovulated cd11/12? I'm not due to ovulate until tomorrow xx

Looks like the top one is the darkest. But I haven't used these so dont really know!

@AliSxo none of those look near positive. Did you have other symptoms which make you feel that you have ovulated? X

Hey @calimommy I've had ewcm on both Friday and Saturday, the one from Friday is the darkest so far which is throwing me off as I'm not meant to ovulate until tomorrow/Tuesday xx

@AliSxo I'd keep testing. Based on those you haven't ovulated yet. X

@AliSxo these are mine when I ovulate, the test lines should be really very dark.

Thanks @calimommy I've just posted the most recent one I've just taken about 15 minutes ago, once you get a positive OPK I've read it's 24-36 hours before the egg releases... wasn't scheduled to DTD today (Monday) as we are going for every other day but I'm tempted to do it Monday/Tuesday now my OPKS are getting darker xx

@AliSxo that one is much closer to positive 👍 good luck!

Thanks @calimommy I'll continue to do them and see if they get darker. Would you DTD on the day of a positive OPK or stick to every other day? Positive OPK on Sunday night and we DTD Friday night and Sunday morning, would you now DTD on Monday and Tuesday or just stick to Tuesday? Xx

@AliSxo definitely Monday because it's apparently better for sperm to be there waiting 🙈😂

Top tip: defo buy IC. I have a box of those and I don't feel nearly as bad using those and getting BFN as I do using FRERs or CB 😂 😜

I've had my positive OPK today so counting tomorrow as ovulation and 1DPO as of Wednesday!

Agreed @calimommy although IC's have the worst indents so I pick up FRER fairly cheap on eBay but this month I don't want to test and just let AF tell me xx

@AliSxo me too. Or lack of AF hopefully!!
