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]

@HalfPenny28 it can't hurt!

Best of luck with your test this saturday, let us know x

[Twitchett22]

I'm starting to lose patience... My amazon basket has FRER in it... Daren't press buy just yet. If I'm 6dpo does anyone know what my urine hcg would likely be? Considering testing at work and the machine is sensitive to 25iu, is it way too early?

[calimommy]

@Twitchett22 the first 4 pregnancies I got a positive 6-7 days before af was due, using FRER. The 5th didn't go positive until after AF was due. Always worth a try and be prepared for a negative, knowing it's v early? I'm
Mad to test but far far too early haha plus we have a night out on sat 😂🙈

[Twitchett22]

@calimommy thanks, I know full well that if I just hold out til AF is due it will be much more straight forward either way but I just can't wait 😂 I'm supposed to be out on Saturday too so maybe I'll just leave it until after then 😂

[AliSxo]

I'm 7DPO today so at least I'm getting towards the testing phase, although it's never stopped me testing at 3dpo in a prior cycle!! 😂👍🏼 going to test tomorrow morning at 8DPO and then Sunday at 10dpo. I'm seeing a friend who's announcing her pregnancy on Saturday but I already know as her bf has told my bf, so I need to act surprised and I can't stand a bfn on the day, it seems everyone is pregnant recently!! Boobs are sore, headache, had vile mood swings all week but that's also a sign AF is on her way but really want to be positive and I'd just be over the moon if I caught this month!!! Xx

[Twitchett22]

@AliSxo fingers crossed for you! Nothing worse than someone else announcing their pregnancy just as you get a bfn 😒
I've had a headache solidly for 2 days. I usually get one the day before AF is due but not this early on. Trying not to read too much into it. Imagine if you could get a bfp the day of DTD 😂

[AliSxo]

@Twitchett22 it'd be great wouldn't it, no more TWW!! I know, I'm happy for anyone who's pregnant but it's a sore spot when you're also trying.... when I first came off the pill I was getting migraines around AF but they wore off... really hope AF doesn't show up! Xx

[Fifol]

@AliSxo I know my husband's brother's girlfriend is having a baby end of Feb and literally all that side of family are like so when are you having one! Very annoying

Let us know how you get on!

[AliSxo]

@Fifol it's annoying isn't it, so fed up of people being pregnant one after the other recently, I know it sounds mean!! How many DPO are you? Xx

[Fifol]

@AliSxo yeah and I feel I'm seeing so many baby announcements too and I'm like hey it's my turn! I think I'm 8 or 9 dpo. Gonna try hold out testing till AF late if I can!!

[Blackbelt]

What’s wrong with me?
I’m 5DPO now and all desire of wanting a baby has disappeared!?!?
Feeling like I’m too poor and it’s for the best etc...
Reckon my body is trying to tell me I am not pregnant :(
Anyone else ever felt that way?

[HalfPenny28]

So I woke up in the night (about 3am) and had the worst acid reflux which actually made me sick! First time this has ever happened!

I know I said I wasn't symptom spotting but could this mean something? I'm 8dpo today

[Twitchett22]

@Blackbelt could just be hormones? Don't read too much into it, wait and see for definite first and then see how you feel either way.

@HalfPenny28 I'm 7dpo today and I've also had noticeable heartburn/reflux over the night! Not bad enough to make me sick but I've felt generally shit for a few days now 😬

[becca321]

Feeling rubbish, this morning gave in and tested at 8dpo and got negative 😪. Boobs just as sore anymore and starting to feel like any symptom I had was in my head 🙈 so frustrating waiting!

[AliSxo]

@becca321 same I'm 8DPO bfn! It's very early so let's not be disappointed, my boobs were so sore yesterday and Wednesday but don't feel it much today but there's still time 😂 I don't want to test now until Sunday when I'm 10dpo xx

[Fifol]

Mine weren't as sore yesterday morning but by evening were very sore and are killing me today so really hoping this is it!

[becca321]

@AliSxo I'm the same, was so certain I was pregnant yesterday, felt ill, painful boobs and funny taste in the back of my throat, but had some very sharp pains in left side, know I have cysts so wondering if 'symptoms' are down to them.
@Fifol fingers crossed for you!

[calimommy]

Symptoms are very hit and miss, they are also the same as what you might normally experience. I've had 5 pregnancies and none of my symptoms ever really started until 6weeks or later. Even after I had loads of scans and dr appointments, symptoms would come and go, freaking me out of course. One day my boobs wouldn't be sore and I wasn't as nauseated so I'd be crippled with fear of loosing it. And the next day I'd be clung to the loo vomming. At this stage it really is so soo early. Also I'm not sure if it was this thread or another where people were discussing limiting their diets etc at this stage to pregnancy diets, no ibuprofen, sushi etc, tbh you can't live your life like that, in a maybe. Also it will not have any repercussions. I always say, until I see that second line, all bets are off. With my third baby (5th pregnancy) I was POSITIVE I was pregnant purely from a buzzing I had in my mind, but kept getting BFN, it was also Xmas so re diet and drink all hell was breaking loose 😂. I finally got a tiny squinter on new yrs eve, which was after I expected AF, and he is currently destroying the playroom.
Sorry I have rambled a bit here, but my point was that we should all keep going as normal and know that until there is enough hormone to give a positive test you might not feel anything at all and that until 7-9 weeks the corpus luteum is sustaining the egg, it isn't even using the same blood system as you yet so you won't damage the potential baby by eating sushi or drinking 5coffees (I live on caffeine even when pregnant FYI, my children are allergic to sleep). Xxx

[Fifol]

@calimommy I think we all know really it's too soon but doesn't stop our brains getting into overdrive! I try to be realistic even to avoid disappointment but it's hard not to get excited when feel something different

That's why I'm gonna wait till AF late though x fingers crossed it will be!

[calimommy]

@Fifol absolutely! But I hate to see people feeling so low and on some threads they appear almost manic 😬, when there might be no need. I know my experience is in isolation, not exactly a case study haha but sharing it regardless x I'm not immune to anxiety. I'm 5/6? DPO now and after seeing so many tests on here yesterday I almost did one myself. I actually took it out of the drawer and then said "wtf is wrong with you calimommy" 🙈😂😂🙈

[Fifol]

Haha @calimommy I feel the same a couple of ladies on another thread got bfps and I was like I want one too! But no, gonna wait and just hope theres no AF and will test next weekend if not!

I'm nervous because I know I'll be super disappointed if I'm not

Fingers crossed for us all!

[LuluHeidi]

That's such a positive message @calimommy thanks very much! It has certainly made me feel more relaxed.

I tested on Wednesday.. much earlier than I said I would.. and got a BFN! I felt sad for the rest of the day which is stupid really as this is my first month trying and I also tested too early so what did I expect! Anyway, since Wednesday I've felt much more relaxed and genuinely believe it when I say I won't be testing for another week at least. I'd actually be just as excited by AF arriving so that I can better track my cycle after the pill. I'm currently on CD27.

Good luck to anyone testing this weekend!

[AliSxo]

I agree @calimommy I've been one of those maniacs you describe and it's done me no good it has caused me such heartache with bfns at 3dpo, looming back it's ridiculous! I think I have line eyes even when there's nothing there, I'll look back at pictures I was conceited there were lines on and they're stark white. 9DPO tomorrow and it's so early to test so I think I'll wait 💕 xx

[calimommy]

Well I didn't mean to call people
Maniacs haha but I suppose that's what it feels like at times

[Fifol]

Well I feel like a maniac anyway I'm determined to wait to test but it's so hard. Wish I could forget about it until time to test but no such luck!
