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?

Awww I'm fed up but I'm off work on Friday, I'm going to speak to my gp and ask if I could join the waiting list for fertility checks.... also I'm going to ask about my mood swings as they're awful and I'm not sure if I need help with them. Best of luck to you all xx

Fifol · 19/02/2020 12:42

I actually just want to cry because I know these killer mean I'm out this month!!!

Fifol · 19/02/2020 12:50

I'm afraid to take painkillers in case I miraculously might be pregnant

AliSxo · 19/02/2020 13:10

You can take paracetamol @Fifol just try and avoid ibuprofen xx

inahaze · 19/02/2020 13:19

i think as soon as AF arrives im ordering the ava bracelet

im also being stupid and thinking only 1 cycle left to try and then take a break because i dont want a christmas baby. please no daggers at me!

Fifol · 19/02/2020 13:29

@inahaze you know what I thought the same! Purely because at Christmas time we are so scattered with families in different areas that logistically it would give me too much anxiety to know I'd be having it during time!

Fifol · 19/02/2020 13:30

I'm going for a walk and getting myself a hot chocolate and gonna try be positive now at least until AF actually comes!

inahaze · 19/02/2020 13:44

@fifol Cake

i just wanna FEEL like im SLIGHTLY in control of all of this, if that costs me £250 so be it! Hmm

Twitchett22 · 19/02/2020 14:11

The FRER I ordered last week STILL hasn't arrived and I was psyching myself up to test today. Think it's maybe fate telling me to just wait for AF!
I seriously cba to go through all these emotions next month too. It's the most draining part.

So that escalated very fast girls AF has arrived in monster form.

Gutted. How the f do people do this for months on end we will be doing into our 6th cycle now trying and I actually feel like I dont have much left in me!!

@inahaze what does the Ava bracelet do

Twitchett22 · 19/02/2020 15:15

@Fifol shit sorry 😔
I know it's completely exhausting, I don't even enjoy DTD much anymore just feel like it's another job to do 😂 maybe we'll all end up with Christmas babies 😂

Sorry @Fifol it is such a crap few days. I also marvel at how people cope with on going infertility. Two of my friends tried for 5 & 7 yrs before they had babies. Madness!
Onwards to a Xmas baby!

Fifol · 19/02/2020 15:37

Ha yeah girls it sure is. At this point I will take a christmas baby!

My brother in laws girlfriend is due their baby next week and it sounds so selfish but I'm going to find it so hard to cope with all of it. Ugh I hate myself a bit for even thinking that. Just sheer jealousy I suppose

calimommy · 19/02/2020 15:57

@Fifol it's ok to feel a bit jealous, acknowledge it, accept it and move on. Xx

HalfPenny28 · 19/02/2020 16:44

@Fifol the next cycle will be our 6th too - totally understand where you're coming from.

I never thought it would take this long and even though I know 6 months isn't that long in reality it feels like years! And is so mentally and physically demanding!

I'm having a weekend of moping then looking onwards for a March positive 💪🏼 this will happen for us!

Hope you're all okay lovelies x

becca321 · 19/02/2020 16:58

So sorry to everyone starting AF, fingers crossed it is your month next! I find it is so hard for it not to become all consuming when you have tried for so long. My spotting now seems to have slowed down/stopped but still bfn. AF should be here Fri according to Fertility Friend or next Fri according to Flo, which although it has had the same temps has now decided I am only 6dpo. It's so frustrating not knowing what is going on

Fifol · 19/02/2020 17:17

Xxxx

ChampooPapi · 19/02/2020 17:21

Joining you lovely lot, currently on cycle 4 , but been trying since last June with a d&c thrown in in October.

9days post ovulation, or there abouts, very crampy af feeling so think I'll be with you all for March . It's gutting isn't it? It just feels like limbo

calimommy · 19/02/2020 17:21

Well my back has begun to ache so much that I've just popped in a tampon as I've arrived at the gym and don't fancy leaking through my leggings on the treadmill if af starts now 😞 not feeling very hopeful!

Eatsleepbakerepeat · 19/02/2020 17:30

So this month had really weird cramps but not deep cramps like af cramps also had tugging underneath belly button and last night had intense shooting pain I'm 12dpo today didna test bfn so sure none of it's good signs
Feel like my boobs are also veiny but not sure if looking too close
Back ache on and off
And my resting heart rate hasn't dropped like it normally would pre af but who knows had my bfn now so pretty sure I'm out

Nora11 · 19/02/2020 17:40

Sorry @Fifol 😢 it's definitely normal to feel jealous so don't feel bad!

I also was thinking of taking a break to avoid a Christmas baby but now I think I'm just going to tempt fate if that makes sense 🤣 even though a christmastime baby wouldn't be ideal I would still be overjoyed so hey ho, completely understand wanting to avoid it though!

I've been really crampy the last few days and today have a bit of an acidy stomach... Prob just AF buildup but I can't help but hope it's not 😂 resisting the urge to do another test!

Twitchett22 · 19/02/2020 18:24

Girls can I just ask a quick question? I want to test as soon as my tests are delivered (hoping tomorrow) but want to use FMU. If i pee in a pot first thing then save it until my tests arrive will it be ok to use later in the day? Sorry might be a stupid question, didn't know if hcg levels fade if the wees just sat there 🙈

OP posts:
calimommy · 19/02/2020 18:39

Yes it's fine to do that @Twitchett22

Lmac2018 · 19/02/2020 18:41

Hi girls I'm on the TWW, only 4dpo so don't expect much. Have had cramps for the last day or so but I'm just putting it down to rise in hormones.

Twitchett22 · 19/02/2020 18:49

So my tests are here (delivered to my neighbour by mistake) and I couldn't resist. BFN. 12dpo today, what are the chances of it being too early? Or do you reckon I'm just out this month?
