3dpo, 1st cycle. TWW with me?

[extrababydust123]

Anyone else 3dpo? When do you suggest the best time to test is? I have some frer’s and some ic’s and I honestly think I won’t be able to get through the weekend without testing 😫🤣

Thanks @extrababydust123 - it wasn't supposed to be. It's alright, on the positive side I was actually pregnant in the second cycle, I was actually shocked and kinda not ready TBH - or maybe it's just something I tell myself ;)
But you do you! I'm looking forward to that journey of yours!

Great outlook 🥰 what cycle is this for you? And you too! Excited to test together and hopefully have 2 BFP’s 🤞🏽😁

I'm also 0dpo @Bundaberg84 - AF is due 27-28th May, but I'm out out on 28th so will be likely testing on 26-27th. 🤔

Now to keep myself busy in the 2WW...

👋🏻 hello to you also @extrababydust123

@extrababydust123 decided to give it a go after all 🤪 should be ovulating tomorrow as per my apps and positive opk today 🤗 thought it would have been delayed because of my cp at the start of last week but apparently not! X

Hi @feliznavidad2! We are all cycle buddies 😂 will be nice to go through the journey together and keep each other sane through the TWW. What cycle are you on?

And great news @bexboo1 🥰 I’m so glad I don’t have to bd anymore, me and OH tired out 😂 good luck this cycle, I hope this is it for you xx

@extrababydust123 cycle one TTC no.2 - we already have a four year old. Last time, I don't really remember TTC and we were really lucky and got a (massively unexpected) BFP on cycle two. I've got endometriosis and we were told TTC may be difficult so I'm a bit worried that this time we may not be so fortunate!

Time has gone so quickly since he was born and now I'm thinking we really need to get a move on. 😬

@extrababydust123 Cycle 3 of actively trying, took a break last month after the chemical in February, my March/April cycle was really weird and I kinda felt to have give my bod6a rest.
Excited for this journey! Looking forward for your updates!
@feliznavidad2 yay another cycle buddy! I'm probably testing around 26 / 27 as well, I have an appointment for the covid jab 28th so I don't think I will go if I get a positive test... I already had Covid last year so hopefully I still have antibodies.

@feliznavidad2 you’ve conceived before so you most definitely can again! As hard as it is just try and stay positive, I have everything crossed for you that you get your bfp this cycle ❤️

@Bundaberg84 excited to see your updates too! Can’t wait to start symptom spotting from 6dpo 😂😂

Bless you - thanks @extrababydust123

1dpo. Already decided I've got sore boobs. 🤔 Having an Indian takeaway this eve (and at least a couple of glasses of wine!) Can't wait!

Hope you all have nice weekends planned.

@feliznavidad2 🤣 we’ve all been there! And thank you!

I always get a little worried about drinking in the TWW, do you think it would even affect anything if I had a couple of wines later at 3dpo?

My gyn said no, ot doesn't. You shouldn't drink too much of course, nothing that would stress your body (headache, hangover, feeling sick would not be great). But it takes a couple of days, longer than 2ww, until baby would be attached to your bloodstream. So until then you're fine. It's a totally personal decision of course. But not having glass of wine then and when would make a negative in 2 weeks even worse for me ;)

I'm having a few glasses of wine in this TWW but not going wild... I think it's all about balance really.

Ended up Googling earlier whether it was ok to go running in the TWW 🤦‍♀️ 🙄 alas, it says it's fine to carry on usual exercising but not to try and increase intensity or exercise more or harder than usual.

Tired this eve and crampy tummy but my good friend Google tells me it's due to increased progesterone levels at this point after ovulation. Don't know what I'd do without a search engine. 😂

@Bundaberg84 @feliznavidad2 thanks ladies! I ended up having 2 drinks last night which I usually wouldn’t have because I’ve been scared to, but you were both right and shouldn’t put your life on hold when if I’m going to be pregnant, probably hasn’t even implanted yet!

I’m exactly the same with the symptoms which is why I know I’m an absolute nutter, because there’s no way the things I’m feeling could be because I’m pregnant 😂 I have been horrendously bloating, currently have awful heartburn and have a stuffy nose that was there when I woke up this morning .. probably due to the progesterone as you say! 😂

Will there be any testing this week ladies?

Bless you @extrababydust123 - glad to not be symptom spotting alone. Hope you're ok.

No testing for me this week, I'm going to try and leave it atleast until next Monday or Tuesday. How about you?

Symptom spotting for me today: I'm really tired, keep yawning! And a bit (TMI) constipated, but this does happen occasionally for me anyway.. 🤔 🙄

I've lost it. Only 4dpo and I'm convinced that there something going on. Bloated, crampy, knackered.

Bit of a harsh realisation that this could just be my body being excited about coming off the pill, can't remember what normal symptoms are after ovulation. 🙄

We shall see. Think it's going to be a long week or so.

@feliznavidad2 I was exactly the same last cycle as it was my first and I was convinced my ovulation and heightened progesterone symptoms were pregnancy symptoms (they weren’t🤣) so I’m trying not to this month! I’m 5dpo today and I don’t feel anything at all, I’m really trying to take a chilled approach as it’s hard to get yourself worked up and see that negative but every little niggle has me thinking what if 😂😂

You’re more patient than I am because I’ll probably be testing from Thursday at 8dpo, because I can’t help myself 😅

@feliznavidad2 I took a break from TTC last month and I know I couldn't be pregnant, so I was trying to track all weird symtpoms after ovulation. I was bloated, my breast hurt, my back hurt, twinges here and there, I was a bit sick for a couple of days - I would have been convinced to be pregnant :) It was nice to be able to just feel all that in an observing position.
If we look at it rationally, implantation will happen earliest 6dpo, and it will take 48 hours for hcg to develop. So earliest symtoms would start manifesting 8dpo, right?

Thanks ladies - my logical mind knows you're right, but, that little nagging voice goes 'what if...'

We'll know within a few weeks for all of us anyway.

@Bundaberg84 when are you planning to test?

@Bundaberg84 you’re so right it’s just hard not to be illogical in the TWW for some reason 😂 and yes when are you hoping to test?

Hope we all get our bfp 🤞🏽

I know it's hard! And here I am today, feeling strong, thinking logical and in control - but in a couple of days I'm probably symptom spotting like crazy and you will need to calm me down hahah
I think I'm testing around 12dpo? I just cancelled my Covid vaccine appointment to June, so I'd have enough time to cancel in case I will test positive ;)

@Bundaberg84 I promise to calm you down if you promise to do the same back 😂 haha definitely worth planning ahead for and you can always rebook your vaccine!

I know I should be chilled about it but I will really be so disappointed at a bfn this month, all I’m seeing is pregnancy announcements and babies being born and I want it more than anything ☹️

Deal @extrababydust123!

And same. I covered all bases this month. We dtd every other day, one day before peak, on peak, the day after and an additonal day after. I know that even if you did everything "correctly" there's still only around 1/3 chance of getting pregnant, but it doesn't make sense to me haha

Please feel free to tell me to hush if I'm being ridiculous both. [smile]@Bundaberg84
@extrababydust123

We covered the bases and started way too early this month... hearts mean DTD. 

@Bundaberg84 you’re the same as me, I can’t grasp that even if I dtd every hour until ovulation that I still may not fall pregnant. It just doesn’t make sense 😂

And @feliznavidad2 we started early to but I’m so glad we did as I ended up ovulating a week earlier than expected! So luckily dtd every other day and then in the morning and evening the day of ovulation so I can only hope it was enough 🤞🏽😖
