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?

I guess you're not out till af arrives x

Nora11 · 19/02/2020 19:16

@twitchett22 could just be too early especially if you didn't use FMU? Fingers crossed for you!

Twitchett22 · 19/02/2020 19:20

Hopefully, although my belly feels like AF is coming. Due Friday so not too long to wait. I'll test after the weekend if she's not arrived

When's everyone next due to ovulate? X

Fifol · 19/02/2020 19:51

@HalfPenny28 5th or 6th march I think. You?

Would like us all to stay in it together onto the next round x

calimommy · 19/02/2020 19:51

AF due tomorrow 20th or Saturday 22nd. I can't be dealing with a negative so if it hasn't arrrived by Saturday I'll test Sunday. I've already used two tests (like an idiot).

Twitchett22 · 19/02/2020 20:15

@Fifol yes agreed lets all stay on til next month if we get bfns ☺️

OP posts:
HalfPenny28 · 19/02/2020 20:18

@Fifol ah so we're not far away from each other! I'm due to ovulate 3rd March if af comes Friday and not Saturday.

@Twitchett22 sounds like a good plan 🥰 can keep each other company and from going mad 😅

inahaze · 19/02/2020 20:41

I next ovulate 2nd or 3rd March, making due date 29 November (not that I was calculating it or anything!)

Ava fertility bracelet tracks your body temperature to help pinpoint fertile window. I just can't get into bbt charting, my small is being crap at sleeping at the moment. So might nights are wakeful and too inconsistent for BBT?

MrsLlama89 · 19/02/2020 20:43

Hi everyone, joining this thread as also going mad 🤣 AF is due tomorrow or Saturday. I couldn’t help myself and also did a test...BFN. Feel so anxious and teary tonight! I came off the pill in September and I swear by December everyone and their granny was announcing their pregnancy and I just wish it was me! I had initially accepted it wouldn’t happen straight away but I didn’t realise how much it can take over your life. I feel consumed by it 🙈 When I tell anyone how upset I’m feeling they just say “it takes time”, “you need to relax about it”, “stressing won’t make you pregnant”...so I’ve been reading the threads on here to make me feel better...and so I don’t feel so alone! Hubby has been great but sometimes can get a little annoyed with my constant obsessing over it 🙈 Never for a minute imagined I would be so caught up in it all, but here we are haha. Just need to wait to see if AF makes an appearance or not! Hubby has banned me from taking anymore more tests before AF is due 🤣
Best of luck to everyone this month ❤️

AliSxo · 19/02/2020 20:57

I'll ovulate next 2/3rd March ... I'll stay on the thread too xx

HalfPenny28 · 19/02/2020 21:29

We're all fairly in sync for the next cycle then!

I usually track ovulation with the clear blue digital - what do you all use?

@MrsLlama89 welcome 😅 sorry to hear about your bfn!

AliSxo · 19/02/2020 21:37

@HalfPenny28 I used OPKS and temps, I'd really suggest temping with the femometer app and a basic thermometer from eBay for a few quid, the femometer app is very good x

Blackbelt · 19/02/2020 21:43

@MrsLlama89 I really resonate with you! It's so nice to have our own secret space to all be a bit obsessed together Grin

I'm due Sunday... not been too bad this month but last month I was GUTTED when af came. And month before I had a chemical 😔 really messed with my mind. Af took over a week to come and I'm usually clockwork. All this TTC is making my cycles change.

Anyway welcome and good luck all x

I ovulate on 6th March next according to app

Fifol · 19/02/2020 21:43

I used the clearblue opk and found it very good, the only with the smiley faces. And then I use the Clue app it's good to track dates and symptoms so you can look back, but it calculates ovulation day based on an average cycle so unless your cycle is same every month it might not be accurate

@MrsLlama89 I think a few of us in this thread came off the pill in sept. I'm the exact same I never thought I would be so consumed with it. In reality it's not that long ago, I only got married in sept and it feels only a few weeks ago (I watched my wedding video clip this evening to cheer me up Blush ) but when you're constantly monitoring dates and symptoms and hoping, it feels more like years x

calimommy · 20/02/2020 05:56

Don't know what to think now, my back ache and cramping has subsided and I have hot heavy boobs and heavy abdomen. Still expecting af but hoping HOPING not. 🤞

HalfPenny28 · 20/02/2020 06:57

@AliSxo I tried temping this cycle but only lasted a couple of days. Might give it another go for the next one!

@Fifol yeah that's the one :) I use FLO to track af and ovulation and stuff and it's usually pretty accurate if I put af data in correctly.

@calimommy fingers crossed for you! I just want af to hurry up now! I know I'm not pregnant so just want it to get going!

Blackbelt · 20/02/2020 07:00

Af due in 3 days so decided to test BFN :( I'm probably out.

gingerglitter4ever · 20/02/2020 07:48

@Blackbelt you are not completely out until the fat “auntie” sings her crimson song!! Hang in there 🤞🏻

@HalfPenny28 this was also my first month tracking BBT, I have really enjoyed it but feel like if this month isn’t the month I may do OPK strips as well as BBT next month, just to be sure 😊

inahaze · 20/02/2020 09:00

Third morning attempting BBT, third morning/ night of wakeful child messing it up.

Got a BFN on a cheapie. Clean as a whistle. Has ANYONE EVER got BFP on a cheapie?!

I remember last time I never got a + on a cheapie, even after my period was late

inahaze · 20/02/2020 09:03

(And I was pregnant)

Twitchett22 · 20/02/2020 10:02

@MrsLlama89 welcome to the thread! You sound the same as me, off the pill in Sept, due AF tomorrow, also tested yesterday and bfn. I didn't even tell DP that I was testing coz cba with the conversation. I don't think he actually realises what TTC is... Like obviously he knows we are and we're DTD and things 😂 but it's easier not to tell him that thats all I'm thinking of and I'm addicted to POAS 😂

Went to bed with a pad on last night because of the cramps, convinced I'd wake up to AF. Nothing. Although the cramps are very much still there. I wish she'd just show herself so I can have a cry and move on. And get very drunk on Saturday 😂

It makes it a lot easier having you lot to talk to, I don't wanna talk about it at all irl 🙄

Fifol · 20/02/2020 10:20

@twitchett22 me either! Love having all of you in the same boat as me, really helps. Are you ttc first baby?

Twitchett22 · 20/02/2020 10:23

@Fifol no this is #2. First time i got pregnant immediately but because I didn't expect to we just stopped using protection and kind of forgot about it. 2 weeks after AF hadn't turned up I thought I better test and bfp. I was so much more chilled about all of it than this time round. What about you?
My mum asked me yesterday if I'm TTC (swear she knows me better than I do). Obviously couldn't lie to her so I told her but I feel a bit weird now I've said it out loud to someone. I know that sounds ridiculous 🤦🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
Fifol · 20/02/2020 10:37

@twitchett22 my mother is the same , she knows too!

No this is my first. I thought I would be like you described, just kind of be ttc in the background and living life in the meantime but I actually cant do that at all! And because it's my first I'm a bit worried about it but I know I need to just chill a bit and give it a chance. I'm 31 next month but I would like to have 2 kids so hoping everything is ok and we can just bang the first out soon Grin
