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]

@Blackbelt it's normal to feel crazy I absolutely feel I'm driving myself mad!!

Today I have cramps going kinda from lower abdomen down underneath my bum. And I'm bloated. I suppose could be something I ate but yep fully crazy

[inahaze]

me too, period due 23rd february

flo app and ovia app are not matching AT ALL and i'm cross that I didn't do BBT this month, will do it next month for sure.... i'm looking at that ava fertility bracelet thing ...... maybe

hopeful for everyone to conceive this month with the supermoon :)

[Blackbelt]

Thanks for the warm welcome, I think it’s the first time I’ve actually been talking to people who get it!!
All my friends fell pregnant at the drop of a hat/unplanned!

This TWW thing drags :-P but because my period was 1 week late last time with the chem pregnancy, I don’t wanna test until I’m a week late. So more like a 3 WW for me 😁 let’s see if I last...

[Fifol]

I'm going to try my best to wait until I'm late as well so in right there with you @Blackbelt

Did you have a positive test last time with the chemical? X

[Twitchett22]

It's nice to be able to talk/rant on here because I don't tell anyone about TTC. Obvs my OH knows 🤪 but I don't tell him how badly I want it or I'm tracking things because he'll just think I'm being obsessive. My mum keeps saying it's time for another and I just laugh it off, I can't bring myself to tell her we're trying for some reason.
Maybe we can all help each other put off testing until as late as possible 😂

[Blackbelt]

@Fifol

I had a very faint line on a clear blue, but negative on everything else. With the amounts of tests I’ve done over the months, that was the first time I could actually see something! I thought I was pregnant for about a day. Then I had a week of negatives but still no period so it really messed with my head! Then period came with a vengeance (tmi!)

I told a couple of friends and now I can totally see why it’s easier to keep it secret, but having people here to talk to who are all as sane as me 😂

[gingerglitter4ever]

@inahaze oooo super moon! Bring it on! I’m convinced I hyperovulate so maybe this moon will bring a set of two 🙈 it’s also my first cycle tracking BBT and I’m kind of liking it especially since it’s giving me different info than the ovulation predictor in my app. Baby dust baby dust ✨

[Fifol]

My sister knows and my mother kind of knows which I didnt want to tell her because I feel like its added pressure to be honest. Definitely feel its easier not to tell my friends though I dont think any of them are ttc or maybe they are and I just dont know!

It's great to know others are in the same or similar situations

Yes @Twitchett22 let's all hold off together!!!

[Fifol]

@Blackbelt I had a very late period last month and all bfns but I was wondering if it was something like a chemical but couldn't see why else my period would be so late like. Probably better off never knowing!

[Blackbelt]

Defo better off not knowing from my experience! Would have made things easier I think. Found starting my period much harder in Jan.

My mum also puts pressure on me, my sister isn’t having children and I’m her only hope for grandchildren!!
I hope I don’t do this to my own.

[HalfPenny28]

I never know what to class as a symptom!

Like my books are a bit sore but I sometimes wonder if it's because of wearing a bra all day!

It's so hard not to get your hopes up every month

[Twitchett22]

I'm gonna hold off ordering any tests (for some ridiculous reason I'm too embarrassed to buy them in tesco 🤷🏼‍♀️) until the day AF is due then by the time they arrive hopefully it will be more reliable. I bet i don't stick to it but that's my plan 😂
If I ovulated 4days ago is it pointless DTD tonight? Coz frankly i can't be arsed if there's no baby to be made 😂😂

[Fifol]

@Twitchett22 if you definitely ovulated then there probably isnt any point as I dont think you can become pregnant once you're out of the ovulation window... I'm open to correction though.

Its funny how sex so quickly becomes a solely baby making exercise

I was embarrassed the first time I bought the test but dont care now as long as I look over my shoulder and dont see anyone I know around!

[Nora11]

I was going to buy some tests today (too early still but just wanted to have them to hand)... Then got in the queue to pay and realised I didn't have my purse!🤦‍♀️ Maybe it's a sign to not go testing too early 😂 I probably will still buy some later this week though but going to try and wait until AF is due before using them!

[calimommy]

Hey all, thanks for the suggestion @Blackbelt.
4th cycle trying, 1DPO. Not entirely sure when af is due, originally thought was 24th but looking at my calendar it could be 20-24th. Anyho. I had a three pack of FRER which I bought for last month but are untouched, obviously. I usually get implantation spotting so if I see that in 5 or so days then I'll feel more hopeful.

[Fifol]

Hi @Nora11 yes I'm trying to wait too till AF due!

Hi @calimommy

Hopefully there will be bfps all round soon x

[Whitefeathers14]

Hi i am due around the 22, and the tww, is driving me crazy. I have noticed that I have had sore boobs, cramps and pains for the past few days. I don't normally get any of this before af, so my mind is racing.

[HalfPenny28]

@Whitefeathers14 this might sound weird 😂 but In what way are your boobs sore? I always think my boobs are sore but so far only had BfN!

I had some cramp like twinges today but nothing else so far I don't think - other than slightly sore boobs which may just be normal

[Whitefeathers14]

@HalfPenny28 it's is kind of like a itchy tingling sensation, and the feel fuller/ heavier! I don't know if all of this is just wishful thinking.

[HalfPenny28]

@Whitefeathers14 I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🙌🏼🙂

It's so hard isn't it! Every little twinge I'm like 'is that a symptom!' And I can't believe I never noticed it all before we started ttc!

How you feeling this cycle?

[LuluHeidi]

In response to most on here I'm laughing in agreement about symptom spotting. I'm sure I've had all these different twinges my whole life and not noticed and now I'm noticing EVERY tiny little thing! I've had some cramps and back aches today which could be a sign that AF is due any day which would make sense as I'm CD25. I'm 11 suspected DPO but not going to test unless I'm at least 2/3 days late.. which might well be the case purely because this is my first cycle post finishing the pill. Will be much easier to track once AF arrives! What dates are everyone planning on taking a test, if at all?

[Loladisco]

I'll be testing 24th if no sign of AF. With my first I had no symptoms at all before my BFP so trying not to go too crazy symptom spotting!

[inahaze]

i'll probably test 22nd or 23rd depending on how long i hold out for!

[Fifol]

I'm due AF between 17th and 19th ish so if no sign I'll test on 22nd. Looks like a few of us will be testing around then good luck to us all!

Of course I'm hoping I'll have the willpower not to test this weekend!

[rosie990]

Hi ladies may I join?

I am currently about 5dpo (I believe I ovulated earlier than normal)

I have really sore boobs but each month since ttc I have had something different so I dont know and dont want to get my Hope's up.

Period is due around the weekend 22nd to 23rd but I am going to wait until i am late to test

Ttc is so hard. :-(
