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?

Welcome @rosie990

It is hard. Very hard.

I'm the same sore boobs at the sides, I feel like they are worse than previous months but probably my imagination. I had a few tummy twinges the last few days but not much really .

Trying my best not to be googling every little thing like crazy!

@HalfPenny28 this is my first month trying. So I am still learning.
I feel ok, I have still got the stomach pains but am trying not to get my hopes up.

How are you today?

Hi @Rosie990 :)

It's hard because once you decide you want something it's frustrating waiting! However, I don't think it would seem quite as special if everyone was guaranteed to fall pregnant on their first month of trying?! Maybe I'm just clutching at straws saying that haha.

I get the impression that early pregnancy symptoms are exactly the same as when AF is due so trying to ignore any symptoms. Anyone who has been pregnant before was this the case for you? Or did you know something was different?

I've just checked Ovia and apparently I can take a pregnancy test tomorrow (assuming I did actually ovulate on the 1st Feb) but I'm going to wait until the 17th if no AF (I would be 1 day late). Then I will test again later that week if not. So much for saying I wouldn't test unless I was 3ish days late haha.

Hey ladies! Welcome @rosie990 ! Anyone have experience with BBT that could help me? It’s my first month tracking and I’m generally a cool person, but I thought it was average for women to get above 37C after ovulation... my app has now determined that since I’ve hit 36.5 degrees three days in a row I ovulated early on the 9th 😩 I’m so lost

@gingerglitter4ever

from what i remember from yonks ago, i think if you keep plotting, the graph will adjust with more data.....so dont panic yet .... is this your first month doing BBT?

my family are planning a holiday to efteling in the netherlands this october half term, i guess i can't book until i know im definitely not going to be 32 weeks or more, right? so that would be a mid-december due date?

Opinions please!!!!

On Sunday (CD17) I got +OPK, was strongly positive all day (4tests) and continued to be + until lunchtime Monday (CD18) when the tests started fading. I also had a lot of O pains and EWCM. This was O as far as I can be certain. But because my cycles have been a little odd I had decided that I would test every day this month to get a positive idea of what is going on. OPK have been negative (very faint) since then except for this morning when it looks + again?? CM is white and v little of it.

@inahaze

For the last 6 months I’ve planned my whole life around whether or not I would would be pregnant and it’s driven me insane!
I mean you can’t spend a load of money on a holiday and then you can’t go!

I’ve had cramps all day and really loads of thick CM which I’m really confused about, not sure why that’s happening.

@calimommy I’m sorry I don’t know what it means either!

Joining :) I’m 1dpo, due on 25th.
@calimommy that looks positive! How confusing if you’ve already had that on cd17. Can you take another one in a few hours? Maybe your wee wasn’t diluted enough ? Guessing really 🤷🏼‍♀️

I should add, I also had a positive OPK earlier in my cycle. So +OPKs have been:
CD8
CD17-18
CD20

I might make a new thread to see if anyone can shed some light. These were all definite positives but I still feel like 17-18 was the O date.

@Blackbelt I'm exactly the same! This Is our 5th cycle trying and we can't plan anything 'just in case' but it makes it even harder when af then turns up.

Just really praying this time we're lucky.

Have you been ttc for long?

Hey @HalfPenny28 @Blackbelt same problem, I'd like to move jobs and go on holiday in June but both aren't possible when ttc, holiday I can book nearer to the time but no doubt it'll be double the price... 6dpo bored and fed up of symptom spotting every month xx

@AliSxo us too :( it all just feels like we can do nothing else but think about ttc!

Have you been ttc long?

I wasn't going to test early this month but I don't think I'll be able to wait 😅

Next weekend is going to be a busy time for us all!
I've just broke out in a load of spots on my chin today which is unusual for me. Hormones or worrying? 😂

@HalfPenny28 I'm the same I've tested ay 6dpo but I've got some FRER that are out of date so don't mind wasting them as much!! Going to try and hold off until Sunday when I'm 10dpo. Been trying since October, fingers crossed it happens this month!! How about yourself? X

I’ve been trying since June 2019 but some months more than others if you know what I mean.
But where it’s my first and im 35, I’m quite scared.

I’m a rollercoaster. One minute I convince myself life is better off without children, the next that I was born to be a mum... it’s crazy.

Sometimes the thought of a positive terrifies me but the thought of a negative upsets me so much. No hope for me!!!

Hi all!
In the same boat here, first month TTC. Can test on Monday and struggling to hold out. Only me and my husband know we're trying so don't have anyone to talk to and googling everything like mad!

@Parksb I'm the same, googling literally something new every few hours!

@AliSxo same, we started trying in October and had no sign of a positive yet.

I know it's only been 5 months and that it can take up to 12 naturally but it's so hard just waiting and not knowing!

I don't know if I want to test or not :( part of me just wants to get it over with but if it negative I know I won't fully believe it anyway until af shows up!

I used to test the day before my period was due, but since I had the chemical pregnancy, I’d rather not test until I’m at least a week late now. Funny how different things can affect you. I’m holding out for another 2 weeks if I can 🙈
No symptoms so far though so not holding out much hope :(

How’s everyone doing today? Any new symptoms?

@Blackbelt that's why I'm afraid of testing too soon but no way will be able to wait 2 weeks! I'm due AF 17th to 19th and will wait till that weekend if I can. I mean if AF doesn't come I'll be thrilled enough so might be able to!

@gingerglitter4ever nothing new today, I keep having little burps which isnt like me! Sore boobs, a few cramps, I'm actually starting to feel like AF coming Boobs not as sore today so I'm panicking now!

How are you feeling?

@fifol I’m alright! Currently 4 DPO so not too far into the TWW for anything significant to be going on, but I’m confident and trying to go with the flow (no pun intended) this month hehe
I hope the cramps are a good sign, what dpo are you at?

Well that's what I'm telling myself of course 😂 all depends on if period comes I suppose.
I was getting a lot of cramps and cm but now nothing ... :(

I'm 9 or 10 dpo I think.

I'm staying really positive and hoping I'm attracting all this positive energy and it will be my time

@Fifol I like that attitude 🥰 let's hope the positivity in this group reaches everyone! I'm hopeful to see some wonderful positives on here after the weekend! I've decided to test on Saturday :) just keeping my fingers crossed!

Wishing everyone the best of luck this cycle!
