3dpo and looking for TTC friends

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

So I have no idea whatsoever what possessed me to do this but I got an overwhelming urge to POAS and got this....it was really strange, it was like the urine got ‘caught’ at the first line so it took ages for the control line to appear, the first really thin lines appeared within a minute. It’s definitely pink but it’s soo sooo thin and faint! I really wish I hadn’t done it as now I’ve got a sliver of hope that I might be pregnant, what do you think? Determined not to test again until Sunday, I’m only maybe 8DPO! Please be honest and tell me if I’m going crazy....

Yep I can definitely see a line and I'm notoriously bad at these things!

How exciting! If you can bare it I'd probably leave it a few days and then test again

mrsmummy111 · 16/04/2020 18:45

@Wineandrun That's a line!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mrsmummy111 · 16/04/2020 18:48

@Wineandrun this is month 1 for you isn't it? Oh I'm praying for you that it is!!!! ❤️❤️

Wineandrun · 17/04/2020 06:12

BFN this morning! Who knows what’s going on....still early days though!

HopeWish · 17/04/2020 06:42

Morning all!

So 11dpo today and went to take a hpt - just a cheap wondfo.

(sorry if this is TMI!) Peed in the pot and when I wiped there was blood. Weird that AF has come early but I guess I am still getting used to my cycles so looks like that's me out!

And the hpt was negative if I needed any more confirmation!

On to the next cycle I guess! At least I don't have the annoying wait for AF to arrive.

Good luck to everyone else waiting to test!

Naera95 · 17/04/2020 07:15

I’m on TTC 10 and currently 6DPO. Driving me crazy this month!! Really wanting to test not going to try hold off for 14dpo

mrsmummy111 · 17/04/2020 08:25

@Wineandrun You're still not completely out. I can see a definite line in the first one - do you have any FRER tests?

mrsmummy111 · 17/04/2020 08:26

Welcome @Naera95 !!! Is this your first time TTC?

MrsEmilyB · 17/04/2020 08:29

Hi @Lolliloo1234 👋🏻 I'd love a similarly neurotic online ttc buddy! I have just turned 30 and coming to the end of the TWW in cycle 1. DH and I DTD this morning and there was some spotting from me (sorry if TMI) and AF is due Monday so I'm feeling like I might be out of luck this month. Had a couple of BFN too - however I'm 10 dpo and tested yesterday. Will test again using a FRER on Sunday.

Naera95 · 17/04/2020 08:37

@mrsmummy111 yes I am 24 and TTC #1 but starting to get really disheartening

Lolliloo1234 · 17/04/2020 08:51

Morning all lovely ladies! 👋

You never know - unless AF arrives in full force we aren’t out until then. And if we are - we can spend another month panicking, symptom spotting and line squinting together on here!!
No AF until Monday for me but I’m pretty sure I’m out this month.
@HopeWish funnily enough on my cycle #1 of trying my period came early too. It could be implantation bleeding for you if it’s not a full force AF but our bodies do really odd things when we don’t want them to.
@Naera95 I know it must be so hard not to get disheartened - how are you tracking your ovulation if you don’t mind me asking? I saw another thread with these three ladies who supported each other through TTC and it took all three of them over a year but they all have babies now.

@mrsmummy111 tracking my ovulation with clearblue digital. Aw wow that really makes me feel better knowing that I’m not the only one out there.

mrsmummy111 · 17/04/2020 09:22

@Lolliloo1234 How lovely. I think some of these threads are really wonderful, lots of women supporting each other and truly happy for each other when they do conceive. It's a lot less lonely to know that you're not going through it alone.

Snowberry4 · 17/04/2020 12:03

Still nothing much to report here at 6DPO but just wanting to say hi to everyone and hope everyone's coping with his TWW giving the circumstances. Love to you all x

HopeWish · 17/04/2020 12:12

Hi @Lolliloo1234

My cycle 1 AF came right on time, but this is definitely AF. Odd because I also O'd early this cycle (day 10/11). So altogether the cycle lasted 21 days - quite short for me!

Oh well - onwards! I think I might try SMEP this new cycle as don't think I DTD enough this last one.

mrsmummy111 · 17/04/2020 12:41

@HopeWish Sorry to hear about AF but equally means you can get started on cycle 2 again quickly.
Would you mind explaining how SMEP works?! X

Sammyclaire22 · 17/04/2020 12:52

Hi all- I totally get the weird dreams thing. I often get them towards the end of my cycle but this month they have been crazy vivid. Although fb told me it's possibly due to all the upheaval with Covid so trying not to think it's a sign!

@naera95 keep having faith it will happen- my 1st took 13months ttc and the month before I conceived her I had an ectopic and lost a tube. She was worth the wait though! Cycle 7 I think now of trying for number 2 but each month is just as hard as the one before!

Dimosaur · 17/04/2020 18:49

I think I'm only 2dpo... But I feel so sick today after eating. Couldn't finish my tea, and I'm exhausted.
Just like my first pregnancy!
Surely can't be having symptoms this early?!

mrsmummy111 · 17/04/2020 19:15

2 DPO sounds v.early @Dimosaur but then again, surely not impossible! Are you sure you ovulated when you think you did?

Dimosaur · 17/04/2020 19:25

@mrsmummy111 not 100%, not been tracking properly. Just going by what my period tracker says!
My first pregnancy I had these symptoms from about 7dpo, then positive 10dpo on a frer!
Probably just being paranoid!

Lolliloo1234 · 17/04/2020 20:43

@Dimosaur I feel the same but probably because I’m nursing a savage hangover 🙈 was starting to feel like TTC was taking over my life so had a bit too much fun on House Party with my girlfriends...oops!

2dpo is very early, but stranger things have happened! I guess if the symptoms get stronger then test in a little while!

@Sammyclaire22 thank you for your support. Ok that helps me keep faith that it took you that long. I feel like everyone around me is getting pregnant and It makes it so much harder. But trying to stay positive this cycle

Suki2020 · 18/04/2020 08:31

Morning everyone, how are you all doing? So my period is due next fri/sat, going to wait this month until I’m due on my period before I test as I’ve done so many and they are always negative. It’s my birthday next Sunday so it would be the best present if I have a positive test. I’ve had a dip in temp on 8DPO and then a big rise so fingers crossed. Only feel bloated a little though now. I did have a little cramping a day or two before my temperature dipped though.

Naera95 · 18/04/2020 09:39

@Suki2020 we must have a similar cycle my periods due next Friday/Saturday. My fingers are crossed for you. Is this your first?
