3dpo and looking for TTC friends

[Lolliloo1234]

Hi,

I’m 29 and on cycle 2 of TTC. I’m 3dpo and now in my two week wait. I have no friends with children or anyone who is TTC so looking for online buddies to ride this out with!

Anybody in the same boat as me who wants to chat and be a little neurotic together?

Xx

Ahh glad it's all worked out for you both! Is it bad that I'm loving us all being in the tww together? I find it so much easier sharing the wait

I checked my bbt this morning and it's low so I'm pretty certain I'm ovulating today or tomorrow... I've tried the smep so hopefully dtd tonight and again tomorrow to be sure (dh doesn't know about tomorrow as well lol) fc it's our lucky May month!

Thanks girls! I'm relieved as I thought maybe I'd missed it.
We have DTD 3 days in a row so far....but also need to DTD the next 2 days to be sure to catch ovulation in case it's not for another 48 hours. So I'm not sure if that's overkill but don't really have a choice now as I was a bit sporadic with my testing, and my BBT has pretty much stayed level all month so far so can't rely on that either.

I totally agree @Sammyclaire22 ! It's nice to have the same timing as others, at least then if you two start getting symptoms and i don't, maybe it'll help soften the blow in a weird way?! At least we all know we tried our best this month. Fingers crossed for us all! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I agree - it’s nice to have people to talk to and it’ll definitely make it better this month if you guys get your BFP and I don’t.

TMI - clearblue said I ovulated yesterday but today I’ve got loads of EWCM, do you think I’m actually ovulating today? I thought after ovulation you don’t get it anymore?

Does clear blue say you have ovulated or does it pick up the lh peak? It's not impossible to have a 2 day peak so I would keep going while you have ewcm just incase! The smep says to do it the day after ov too so can't harm if you can manage it!

I agree about others getting bfp- I was in another group and 4 out of the 6 did all in one month and it was so nice to have some renewed hope that it does happen eventually!

It picks up the two most fertile days so it finds you LH surge which was Sunday morning. It was super strong as well. Haha after yesterday’s debacle I may not push my luck with DP. I’ll gently suggest it but hopefully there’s enough swimmers in there already to cover me 😂😂😂

I'm definitely no expert, but if it were me I'd try and do it enough to cover the day you think you ovulated, along with the day after (and maybe even the day after, just to be safe!)

Probably overkill given the situation yesterday though 🤣 and besides, even if you ovulated today you've definitely got enough to cover you from last night.

@Lolliloo1234 I'm such an OPK dummy, but how do you know it was a strong peak?

@mrsmummy111 so the stick inserts into the clearblue have lines on just like your cheapie OPKs. Previously, when I’ve got my static smiley the non control line has been strong but not darker than the control line etc. This time, the line was darker than the control line. I keep the inserts each cycle because I’m interested to see how they work and have basically noticed that they do almost the same as the cheapies but they’re more sensitive and of course the digital aspect makes it a lot clearer.
I’m a weirdo I know 😂😂

Omg @Lolliloo1234 you're actually a genius!!!!

This was my clearblue this morn. Annoyingly I chucked yesterday's one because I'd be curious to see. So I'm assuming I'm definitely going to ovulate either today or tomorrow based on that so interesting!!!

@mrsmummy111 LMAO genuinely, you validating that I’m not bonkers is comforting.

I’m hoping you’ll not have to use them again after this cycle but if you do, keep them. It initially started because I wanted to compare my Clearblue results with the cheapies to see if they were worth £25 per cycle.
That deffo looks like you’ve caught your LH surge so you’ve got 12-36 hours before ovulation!

I am SO confused - clearblue said my ovulation was Monday. I got lots of EWCM on Saturday which indicated this is the case but the last two days I’ve got EWCM. It happened again this morning!
The thing is - even if we DTD today we’ve done it CD8,10,12 and swimmers got there cd14&15 through other means and DTD everyday isn’t recommended for quality.
I dunno whether it’s normal to get EWCM after ovulation. My ovulation date was cd14 this month but it usually is cd16/17 which would be today.
Clearblue is apparently 99% accurate.
Oh man this is so confusing!

Haha same! Im cd 12 and usually ovulate cd10 or 11. Still having ewcm so I'm assuming it's not happened yet. Don't forget the peak in surge can be up to 48 hours before actual ovulation so that would be today still. I think that's why the smep suggests dtd the day after expected ov too. I would go by your body but if you can't manage another session then you've done plenty in your fertile week to give it a good shot! No idea how im going to convince the OH to go again tonight lol

Hi lovelies.
For some unknown reason this thread has deleted itself from my “I’m on” tab in the app. I thought the thread had been deleted and was really disappointed! Found it through my emails and hoping it comes back onto my app so I can stay up to date!
I’ve absolutely no idea when we ovulated so we have just DTD the last 4 days hoping we’ve caught it. Who knows.
@Lolliloo1234 what did you decide to do re DTD? I think there’s no need to push it with DP - you’ve definitely got enough in there to cover you 🤣
Hope all you girls are keeping well

Hi @mrsmummy111

I hope it comes back for you!! Don’t want to lose you off the thread, that’s for sure!!
I’m sure you probably have done! What a marathon you’ve been on 😂😂😂😂!

I decided not to try DTD today - I did a clearblue and OPK today and both were negative so I’m pretty sure I’ve ovulated. Even if I haven’t - there’s always next month so it’s okay. DP needs a break bless him. He doesn’t get this whole ovulation thing - he said to me this evening ‘just give me three days and I’ll be back on track’ 😂😂 had to tell him it didn’t quite work like that 🤦🏻‍♀️

TWW buddies again!

So annoying it still hasn’t come up on my app! What a pain.
Anyway for what it’s worth I think you did the right thing - no point pushing it and I’ve actually still got EWCM that I’ve had for days and I’ve almost certain I’ve already ovulated as I get ovulation pains every month and I’m 90% sure I had them yesterday.

Hahaha bless him 🤣 ah to be as naive as the men!

Have a lovely day ladies

That’s me in the TWW now too....my last period was two days late weirdly so it’s thrown me off a bit but sure I’ve ovulated, off on a run of night shifts so no chance to DTD anyway! Fingers crossed for you all xx

My bbt was high today so I've ovulated too! 2dpo I think now. And so our wait begins- good luck ladies!

Morning you lovely lot.

Hope you've all had a nice weekend enjoying the sun!☀️

Thought I'd just pop on and see how you're all doing? According to my app that tracks my BBT (which I'm becoming increasingly sceptical of) but it seems to think that I ovulated on CD17. We DTD days 8,10,13,14,15&16. Bloody typical. Probably way overdid it early on and diluted DHs swimmers 🤣

I'm feeling a bit down about everything this month. If I did ovulated late then I'm probably only 2/3DPO but just feeling like it's not my month. Convinced myself it's not happening and if it was then I'd be feeling something by now. Which is obviously ludicrous and totally irrational but can't help but feel a bit meh. Hope you're all feeling a bit more hopeful and can talk me off my ledge....

@mrsmummy111 Hi lovely!

You definitely did it enough to have swimmers in there!!!!

I’m totally with you, I’m 6dpo and have zero symptoms and also feel that it’s not my month. However, it is way too early to know either way. It was also not my month when I thought I did have them!!

If it isn’t your month..which it still might be..there is always next month and you are early on in your journey, its totally normal and okay. At least you’ve learned to hold off and do it closer to conformed Ov (this is what I’m going to take from this month) BUT it could be your month, every pregnancy is different and we aren’t out until AF turns up 💐💐💐

Shitting hell - I’m 7dpo and I’m bleeding. Not too much but Turin brown stripes when I wipe. Phoned the doctor - they don’t seem to think it’s an infection (I do) but I’m worried my period has come a week early?!

Why does my body not play ball!! Ffs.

@Lolliloo1234 could it be an implantation bleed? xx

@BelleDell I’m dubious about the validity of implantation bleeding. Nobody I know has ever had it. I’ve been pregnant before many moons ago (this is baby #1 for me though) and I never had it then. For me personally, it just gets my hopes up.
I’m more concerned that something is up and that my period is early! I’ve had some odd stuff going on down there.
I guess I’ll have to see if it turns into full blown AF.

Oh bloody hell @Lolliloo1234 this app still doesn't show me this thread I have to search for it every time!

Thank you for your kind words, I'm feeling a lot better today and guess it's time for me to return the favour!

In terms of the bleeding - do you feel odd down there in any other way? What makes you think it could be an infection? Did you finish your course of antibiotics that the doc gave you before?
I must admit I'm also sceptical of implantation bleeding as I've never met anyone it's actually happened to. That being said, i can only assume it does happen, regardless of how rare it might be. It'll be the worst few days ever, but the only thing that'll give you answers is time. If AF has come early, at least it means you can get moving again quicker. What CD are you on now? 21/22? That is an awfully short cycle compared to your normal (which I'm sure you said was closer to 27-29ish?) Sending you virtual hugs 🤗

Hi @mrsmummy111 💕

I had watery discharge that was so off in every way 👃 the whole of this week. It’s gotten better as I used cannesten cream, vagisil wash and no underwear. It’s just sensitive now and is clearly irritated. I finished the antibiotics which cleared up the last one. Bleeding has pretty much stopped now but AF stops and starts for me anyway in the first couple of days.

Yeah I’m CD21 so I’d be 7 days early (only 7dpo) if it is AF. I’m so confused so I’m going to have to ride it out.
If the bleeding gets worse this week I’ll go to an NHS GP as my private telephone one is so not helpful. They basically make me feel like I’m going mad or I’m making it up but I do know my body really well and know when something is up. After 29 years, my intimate relationship with my vagina is a strong one 😂😂😂😂

Oh you poor cow, yeah that doesn't sound right then. It sounds a little bit like the original infection never fully went which maybe means another dose of antibiotics? Weird that it's brought on spotting though.

I agree, go to an NHS GP as 7 days early is pretty early - and like you said, you know your cycle and your body and you know it doesn't feel right. Trust your instincts for sure!
