3dpo

Thought I would start a thread for anyone who is 3dpo today as we'd all be testing around the same time 🤞🏼... and I'm sure we are all in the same tww hell hole and symptom spotting?!

Anyone experiencing anything out of the ordinary?

Ive had low level cramping since ovulation (I get this some cycles anyway) but in my back too this time and tops of my legs (don't normally get that) boobs keep getting shooting pains every now and then but nothing consistent (normally they are just tender) and today I've got very prominent pinching pains in my left ovary (or around that area) that I don't normally get 3dpo. I've had that alllllll day.

Please come and be insane with me and get us through this never ending fortnight! Xx

Heya! I'm 4dpo today 🤗 gonna test in a weeks time! I'm not symptom spotting this month as I'm on progesterone pessaries and they cause loads of symptoms so there's no point 😂

Let's hope the TWW goes fast and that we get some nice news! ☺️

Hiya!

2dpo here although not 100% sure thanks to my lovely PCOS. On cycle day 72 at the mo! Thankfully have a million and one IC to entertain my POAS addiction haha.

Had a chemical in April but feeling hopeful for this cycle.

Hi @mushroomushroom that must be so frustrating with all the additional hormones 😫

@greentree16 I have told myself not to buy any tests until next week, so far I haven't caved but I rekon by the weekend I'll order some 😂

Are these first babies ladies and have you both been trying long?

@greentree16 sorry about your chemical too, I had one a few years ago and it's cruel how up there you are with excitement and how quickly it's shattered 💔

Hahaha it has to be done!

We're trying for baby number 1. Came off my pill 2 years ago but only had first period Dec 2022 (thanks again pcos!). How about you?

LW678 · 20/09/2023 20:39

I’m 3dpo too! Trying so hard not to symptom spot. Symptom spotted last month and convinced myself I was pregnant, when AF arrived needless to say I was gutted! When will you test?

spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 20:48

@greentree16 damn pcos! I can imagine that's very frustrating for you, so fingers crossed this month is your month!

Baby #2 for me, my son is 11 so big age gap, but after a relationship breakdown with his dad and a string of bad relationships after it was never right to have any more. Im 37 now, so my age concerns me but I know of many women around my age conceiving without problem so just have to keep telling myself that so I don't stress too much 😂

Hi @LW678
Haha you are not alone in doing that, I've done that a few times myself 😂
Well, if I'm sensible, next Wednesday as that will be 10dpo but I figure if you can implant as early as 6dpo then surly it would be reasonable to test from 7dpo?! So Sunday 😂😂 what about you?

OP posts:
LW678 · 20/09/2023 20:52

Haha don’t go telling me that or I’ll be purchasing tests with my Tesco shop on Sunday 🤣. I’m going to try and hold off until Tuesday am….

Sunflower8092 · 20/09/2023 20:53

Hello! I am 3dpo today, TTC baby number 1, this is my first cycle after having a mmc in July at 10 weeks. Trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's going to be a long 2 weeks!

spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 20:55

😂😂 sorry! Think I'll just buy internet cheapies to satisfy myself if I can't wait! I told myself I wouldn't test early so I will try and wait, but if your going for Tuesday I might test then too 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi @Sunflower8092 !
So sorry about your mmc ☹️ everything is crossed for you that this is your month 🤞🏼 there seems to be a few of us all around the same timeframe so we can support eachother through the two weeks, it's horrible waiting isn't it!

I'm either 2-3 dpo, stopped bbt tracking etc this month after ttc for 18+ months!
Trying not to symptom track but I've felt exactly the same as you! Cramping mostly on the left and sharp boob pains.
Good luck!

Thank you! I told myself I would be relaxed about it but it's so hard not to think about!
When does everyone plan on testing? I go on holiday this weekend for a week so not sure if I should take some tests with me to test around 10dpo, or wait until I get home when I'll be around 13/14 dpo

spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 21:16

@Natty2 let's hope that's a good sign for us!
I didn't temp or anything like that this time either, just went by my app and what my body felt like as I get that mittelschmerz (think that's how you spell it 😂🤷🏻‍♀️) my cycles are regular and always the same times too. So fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏼
Is this baby #1?

OP posts:
spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 21:27

@Sunflower8092 Same! It's literally all I can think about now 😂
I want to wait and test on 10dpo too but I'll probably cave on Monday 😂 Will it be in the back of your mind on holiday if you don't test? It's tricky isn't it! But the holiday might be a good distraction?

OP posts:
Natty2 · 20/09/2023 21:27

@spacewitch10 🤞🤞
Yes trying for our first. How about you?

LW678 · 20/09/2023 21:28

Does both of your cramps feel like light period pains? I keep feeling dull cramps like I’m coming on and I’m always surprised when I wipe that there’s nothing there (please be a sign!)

spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 21:34

@Natty2 baby number 2 for me! My son is 11 so big age gap and feel like I'm doing it for the first time again!

@LW678 yes exactly like that! Bloating like my period has just started, bit gassy and cramps. Like period cramps but also a very distinct pinch in my left ovary. When I wipe its like lotiony discharge but not loads of it however I do feel like a wet sticky feeling down there, like my underwear is sticking to me... sorry that's very graphic!

OP posts:
LW678 · 20/09/2023 21:35

Nothing is ever too graphic on here 🤣

spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 21:37

@LW678 😂😂 true!

OP posts:
Sunflower8092 · 20/09/2023 21:46

Yeah I think I'll take a few tests with me to do on holiday, I don't think I would have the patience to wait until I'm back.
I've had a few very, very light twinges / cramps over the last few days, however if I wasn't ttc I probably wouldn't have noticed them.

spacewitch10 · 20/09/2023 21:52

@Sunflower8092 yeah I don't blame you, I'd do the same! And what a holiday that will be if you get bfp!

It's horrible the symptom spotting isn't it! Like you said, if we weren't ttc would they be noticed? Or obsessed over if we did? Hoping the next week goes quickly 🤞🏼

OP posts:
Sunflower8092 · 21/09/2023 10:55

Yes fingers crossed the next week goes quickly! I don't want to get my hopes up as this is only our first month TTC again, so trying to keep busy to keep my mind off it.
How is everyone feeling today?
