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?

@IanHislopForPm I'd say are are further along than you think. I've gotten positive at 6DPO but they were faint or 1-2 max. 🤞

AliSxo · 09/03/2020 13:22

Had a blood test today which was booked a week for AF is due, doctor said he can't refer me as we haven't been trying for a year but they can see my hormone levels a week before AF, fingers crossed it all comes back fine xx 6dpo, had a little cry to my mom earlier and then felt better afterwards xx hope you're all ok xx

@inahaze I bought the Ava fertility bracelet and I felt like it was a scam. I sold it (and actually felt bad selling it to another woman). It says it can't help with irregular cycles (which for me was the whole bloody point!) so it's just going on 'normal' time frames and adjusting based on that - I felt it did nothing extra than the Flo app, it does make you feel like you're in control and you get a weird little buzz from seeing the data update in the mornings but that's it.

I was also using clear blue OPKs to test the reliability of the Ava bracelet and it never tied up. The time I got pregnant (unfortunately it didn't last) was when I sold the Ava, stopped doing the OPK's, decided to test after the day of my longest cycle in the last year (day 43) and didn't allow myself to test before then. We didn't track anything and DTD every two days.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble but I really wouldn't recommend the Ava bracelet. It's so hard not to let TTC take over your life so good luck to all!

inahaze · 09/03/2020 15:44

thanks for the update @Daffodil21. i didn't buy the ava in the end mainly because of the price. decided better doing OPK and BBT and 6 billion fertility apps all running simultaneously but never in sync, obvs Confused

i think i'm going to be 10pdo on friday, so absolutely no testing until there, trying desperately not to get hopes up.... but i am feeling positive this month don't know why

Fifol · 09/03/2020 20:29

@Daffodil21 I'm considering that next month ie no tracking just dtd. Although hoping I wont need to!!!

These flashing smileys are absolutely killing me. Like you said @calimommy at least after ovulation you know you've done your best whereas I still feel in limbo Hmm

AliSxo · 10/03/2020 12:46

7DPO today, felt some nausea today but I don't think I'd have implanted yet so not reading too much into that. Really pleased I'm not POAS this cycle, nothing worse than a bfn xx

AliSxo · 10/03/2020 12:49

@Fifol still getting flashing smileys? Hope you're ok xx

inahaze · 10/03/2020 13:13

I think my chart has gone triphasic?!?!

3DPO and feeling poorly 😔 TWW buddies?
inahaze · 10/03/2020 13:15

Thinking of you @fifol what CD are you now?

Fifol · 10/03/2020 13:35

Thanks girls, yes still flashing CD21! Tmi but had a little ewcm last thursday and not again until today so taking as a good sign that hopefully something is happening now. Lots of bd early last week but only once over the last few days so need to go again tonight!

@inahaze I had to google what that meant!!! That's good right?!

Fingers crossed for us all x

inahaze · 10/03/2020 14:01

@fifol arrrrggghhhh so frustrating!!!! do you think you might have ovulated last thursday and you missed the POAS window? i mean, false negatives is a thing right! i guess AF is due in less than 10 days???

i think the triphasic thing might be clutching at straws, but i want to be hopeful anyway.... my period is due in 5 days and really havent had any PMT yet either

inahaze · 10/03/2020 14:07

where is everyone else in their cycle? I only really have Tuesdays and Wednesdays online so I feel out of the loop

Fifol · 10/03/2020 14:13

@inahaze well fingers crossed anyway!

I have no idea. I mean I guess so but I was testing AM and PM since Thursday/Friday. If I dont get a static face over the next couple of days that's the theory I'll go with. I'm not considering the thought that I didnt ovulate as I just don't want to!

If I ovulate late AF would be late anyway though wouldn't it?

Not knowing is a pain

calimommy · 10/03/2020 15:13

@inahaze I think I'm in my TWW now 3DPO, so long as I don't get anymore +OPK 🤞 🤞 AF due the 22nd or so. My DH is now looking his mind about the markets and believes the world is headed for recession so now thinks another baby is madness... hopefully the deed is already done 😉 🤞

calimommy · 10/03/2020 15:14

*loosing

inahaze · 10/03/2020 16:42

@calimommy yeh i had the same crazy thought, omg what if i am preg and now this coronavirus hits hard?! but the show must go on!

AF due Monday 15th ..... each month it rolls around this TWW gets longer and more intense doesn't it?

AliSxo · 10/03/2020 21:16

I'm 7DPO - sore boobs, felt a bit queasy but it soon passed once I'd eaten. I think it's gone quicker and because I won't POAS this month and I'll let AF tell me if I am or not then it doesn't matter if I reach the milestone of 8DPO - normally I'd be so excited to be testing tomorrow morning but this cycle I'm not and I'm pleased about that xx

inahaze · 11/03/2020 07:12

Sounds positive @AliSxo !
I don't think I can put off testing past Friday, but then equally that might ruin the weekend so I might just wait for monday

AliSxo · 11/03/2020 09:20

Thanks @inahaze I'm not sure how I feel I don't feel positive if I'm being honest but we'll see what happens, due on Sunday so not too long to wait 💗 xxx

AliSxo · 11/03/2020 18:30

Had my blood test results back, all fine and no further action which I'm pleased about, my progesterone was 36.1 so I'll take that xx

Nora11 · 12/03/2020 10:04

Today and yesterday morning I've felt nauseous but along with bad stomach cramps (seems to be moving between high and low in my stomach). I know it must be unrelated because of the cramps but can't help but hope... 9dpo today!

Twitchett22 · 12/03/2020 16:20

How's everyone doing? I'm 6dpo and to be honest I've been so busy that I haven't even been counting the days yet so it feels like it's gone quickly! AF due 20th. Had a very sharp stabbing pain in my pubic area today, trying not to symptom spot this month so trying to ignore it but in the back of my head I'm secretly wondering 😂 I don't think I've DTD enough this month but we'll see.

AliSxo · 12/03/2020 17:54

Hey @Twitchett22 I'm 9DPO - had a few cramps which is normally a sign AF is a few days away. Also sore boobs the last few days again is normal for me in the luteal phase xx not sure I feel positive - the cramps make me feel like it's not my month xxx

Twitchett22 · 12/03/2020 18:17

@AliSxo try and ignore all symptoms of bfp/bfn so you don't feel positive/negative either way. Obviously easier said than done though. I keep trying to tell myself not to speculate eithers way until AFs due. DP is driving me mad tonight, he's only been home half and hour and I'm just snapping at him because he's being a knob 😂
Hot bath and a facemask tonight i think ☺️

AliSxo · 12/03/2020 19:32

So much easier said than done but I get your point!! I can be vile in the TWW so don't worry if you're partners annoying you, I think we all bite peoples heads off at some point of the cycle! I'm due on Sunday so not long to wait now xx
