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?

@Fifol i know I wanted to DTD last night but couldn't so we did it this morning, we've done it every other day apart from doing it Sunday/Monday so tried our best as you say, fingers crossed for this cycle we both get our BFP!

When I used the CB OPKS I used my afternoon urine on day 3 of flashing smileys and got my static, that was cd14 so not sure if that's an option for you to do? Xx

@AliSxo no haven't used in the afternoon. I only have a few sticks left but might try later. My problem is I drink a good bit of water during the day so would find it hard to hold in for too long! I might drink a bit less today and see this evening sure can't hurt anyway! I've read lots of posts here of people getting it later so I won't panic too much yet.

Will this be your first baby? Xx

@inahaze first baby, I had a miscarriage in September at 5 weeks. I cannot wait for my BFP the day that second line comes up I'm throwing myself a party for just me and my partner 😂😂 xxxx

Girls I'm on a downer today. Due to ovulate Friday, DTD on Monday when I had EWCM, should really do it tonight too but I'm feeling so lousy. Also plan to do it Friday and Sunday but I'm feeling super negative atm and just thinking it won't work anyway so can I be arsed. Obviously I'm not gonna get BFP if I don't DTD but I'm just fed up. Feeling sorry for myself because I'm poorly and just want to cry. And I cba with the stress of baby making right now but equally don't want it to be ANOTHER month before a potential BFP.
Sorry just needed a moan 😂 gonna have some wine tonight and say fuck it to everything 😂 maybe relaxed drunken sex is what I need 😂
Do you think it's time for us to start a new thread yet for our new TWW? So it's easier to follow and feels like we're all starting a clean slate?

Hi all- hope you don’t mind me stepping in!! Been off the pill since October (ish) last year after being on it for many many (too) many years - finally got my cycle back to something a bit more regular, as each month goes by I get a little more ‘twitchy’ when flow comes along, particularly as I’ve not been used to OV and PMS symptoms!! At the moment I’m on day 17 of my (29 day) cycle - trouble is I feel like I’m ovulating late as I can generally feel ovulation due to Very unique heavy feeling in my lower tummy- all the symptoms are there for the past two days or so but no LH surge as yet (I’ve taken an OPK for about six days now all negative! Anyone else experienced this? Going by my last positive OPK in Feb it was actually on day 18!! which is really rather late! Anyone else experience this? Lx

sorry it's all a bit shit @Twitchett22 hormones are rough, weather is shit and it's only wednesday. definitely have some plonk, have a bath, shave ya legs, clean sheets on the bed and just relax and see what happens.

how many pages are we allowed until it's "full"?

@Luan82 my ovulation felt very late this month, was day 13 i think, normally day 10. are you doing BBT?

seems like a few of us have had bizarre ovulations this month

@AliSxo . i miss morning sex!! so jealous!!

@inahaze it goes by posts, so 999 or 1000 I believe before it closes.

@op I know how you feel, I though I was game for it last night but once we started I switched off completely. Anyho I just tell him to work away 😂 that's what it needs anyway 🤷‍♀️

@inahaze -I've been a bit rubbish at tracking bbt tbh - particularly taking it first thing! However I measured today and it's gone up to 98.42F but that wasn't first thing in the morning - starting to wonder if I ovulated earlier than expected and missed the surge? 🙏🏼🤷‍♀️

I agree, sometimes it just gets too much. I'm glad everyone else is in the same boat though.

It's hard too when you're tired and busy at work and sex with your hubby is obviously great but it really does become another job to do when you're on a schedule. It's hard, ttc is hard.

We all need some motivation!! I keep visualizing myself with a little bambino to cuddle or a nice bump to dress

@fifol if I could have a bump for summer so I don't have to worry about looking skinny in a dress that would be ideal 😂

@Twitchett22 - I like your thinking! - no more bikini 👙 body workouts come spring!!

Ha yeah I've put on like 10 pounds since my wedding last year and I keep telling myself no point losing it coz I'll be putting it back on again!

@Twitchett22 I feel the same I think the excitement of TTC that was once there has gone and I don't get my hopes up for that BFP which is good as I protect myself mentally but it's tough. Sending you love, we're all in the same boat xx

I've got a wedding in may so if I'm not gonna be able to drink I want a bump so I don't just look fat 😂 bfp better have appeared by then!

Thanks @AliSxo I'm just having a shitty day but it's nice to know I'm not alone. I've only got one test in the house and I'm NOT buying anymore this month so strictly no testing until at least 3 days after AF is due. NO symptom spotting, I'm not gonna stop drinking etc I'm gonna pretend I'm not even TTC. Enjoy DTD, get on with everything in life and put it to the back of my mind. 😬 Might be a different story in a couple of weeks 😂

I'm having a shitty time with it all I'm fed up it hasn't happened yet but we'll keep trying. I'm 1DPO although femometer reckons 2dpo, AF always arrives 12dpo so it'll be next weekend either way xx I don't want to test this month, it'll be really hard but I want to do it xx

@AliSxo try to plan some things to do that weekend when AF is due to stop you wanting to test! Its so bloody hard though. We'll all do it together x

Joining in tentatively

I think I ovulated today but not really sure I should probably pay more attention. I feel really crappy today, we dtd last week 6 times in 3 days 2 days after AF. Then this morning and tonight

Heyyy 🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm pretty sure I ovulated today or will do early tomorrow.

Did a clear blue digi this evening and got my static 🙂 and the STRONGEST line on the test I've ever got so must be super close.

Feeling better about it all this month, going to wait and see and not test.

Dtd tonight, yesterday and Sunday so hopefully got it covered!

Is it worth trying tomorrow too do you think?

@HalfPenny28 I would do tomorrow too if I was you. Can't hurt!

I haven't got my static yet but dtd tonight anyway just in case!

Still flashing. Who knew a smiley face could cause so much stress. I've a couple of sticks left I dont know if I should get more and keep testing to see of the static appears or just give up once these are gone. Hate not knowing

My husband woke up and asked me if I got the happy face. I'm glad he a listens to me and b is interested but it also kinda breaks my heart because I know he wants this as much as me!

@fifol exhausting isnt it. If it's any reassurance all my "indicators" were misaligned this month (OPK, BBT, flo app, ovia app), I guess this is why every other day works well, based are covered!

Hi @SingleSidedShoulderShrug and @HalfPenny28

Definitely @inahaze defo exhausting. We have been bd'ing every night the past few nights so hoping all bases covered too! Think we will for a couple more and then hubby away with work

I'm 2 or 3 DPO, had my positive OPK very late on Sunday so ovulated on Monday or Tuesday... AF due next weekend. I don't want to make any plans for next weekend... I hate the pressure of having to see people I don't want to or doing something and my AF arrives... xx
