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

@spacewitch10 oh my word me too!!! I can't stop sneezing every morning! Totally unlike me but I also can't imagine it's pregnancy related. Still SO super weird.

spacewitch10 · 24/09/2023 22:32

@Sunflower8092 it's sooo confusing isn't it! And unfair that af can be the same. But everything crossed it isn't af!

I have a confession, I did test this morning, early detection internet cheapie, of course it was negative but it's completely stressed me out. I regret doing it now so if you can hold out then hold out!

@IMissMargaritas I really hope the sneezing thing is a thing! I did read one ladies bfp journey and she said sneezing was one of her symptoms, but everyone's so different aren't they, could literally be just a sneeze.
I have everything crossed for you after this long journey that this is your month and your thanksgiving will be the mother of all thanksgivings!!

When’s your period due @spacewitch10? I’m due Saturday, tested and I’ve got a BFN

spacewitch10 · 25/09/2023 07:30

@LW678 due Saturday too! Also tested and bfn 😔

Any other testers here this morning?

Trying to stay positive and remembering we are only 8dpo still. I had a telling off from my husband for testing so early!

spacewitch10 · 25/09/2023 08:05

@LW678 😂😂 i haven't mentioned anything to anyone about anything 😂 it's so hard not to though! I did actually do one yesterday too, which is ridiculous! It made me feel so down and disappointed I swore I wouldn't test again until Wednesday but this morning it was the only thing getting me out of bed so 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ how are you feeling today?

Roseberry22 · 25/09/2023 08:14

I’m going to hold out and test Friday morning I should be 10dpo by then! I’m going to a wedding so I’m hoping it’s positive so I don’t drink and worry but know I’ll find it difficult to hide if we are

Sunflower8092 · 25/09/2023 09:07

I'm 8dpo today, trying to hold off on testing until Thursday at the earliest. AF is due on Saturday or Sunday. Testing too early for me just makes me even more anxious so I'm going to wait. I'm scared to get a BFN, and at the same time I'm scared to get a BFP as my previous pregnancy ended in a loss.
I've got my fingers crossed for everyone testing over the next few days! ✨ does anyone have any symptoms today?

I know how you feel @Roseberry22. I'm on an all inclusive holiday at the minute, it's too early to test and I feel guilty about having the odd cocktail every now and again.
Fingers crossed for you for Friday! If it is a BFP, just nurse a glass of prosecco for hours, no one will even notice you're not drinking it. Or even better, get a lemonade etc in a big gin glass so it looks like a gin and tonic.

spacewitch10 · 25/09/2023 09:52

@Roseberry22 definitely a good suggestion from @Sunflower8092 there! Or say your on antibiotics or something if someone asks? Designated driver even. And i hope you have a lovely time at the wedding!

@Sunflower8092 completely understanding feeling anxious either way but hoping it's all positive for you this time 🤞🏼and that your enjoying your holiday!

IMissMargaritas · 25/09/2023 10:29

@Sunflower8092 I've woken up today with the most horrific nausea! I've called in sick to my work. Not actually been sick but I honestly don't remember the last time I felt this icky.

I'm 8dpo now so maybe vaguely hoping this is implantation?!

Roseberry22 · 25/09/2023 10:54

@Sunflower8092 good idea! I think if I am lucky I’ll just accept a glass of Prosecco like you say and leave it on the table and become the designated driver @spacewitch10 good idea for this! I’m really trying not to get my hopes up this month, it’s going to be a complete surprise if I do get pregnant as I think I’ve convinced myself each time I get my period it’s not going to happen :( hope you’re enjoying your holiday you never know I’ve read so many stories where people get pregnant on holiday as they’re so relaxed!

No real symptoms either way for me still but I’m not sure what I’m expecting 6dpo haha!

LW678 · 25/09/2023 12:31

@spacewitch10 feeling absolutely fine today, no symptoms so I’m thinking I’m out this month but did everything by the book and had sex a lot so I’m trying to still keep a bit of hope 😣

greentree16 · 25/09/2023 12:59

I think I'm absolutely convincing myself I have cramps, feel sick and have a funny taste in my mouth. It's bizarre what your mind can do when you want something really badly 😂

Roseberry22 · 25/09/2023 13:27

@LW678 still time yet until AF turns up! It’s so disheartening when you know when you ovulated DTD multiple times and still nothing isn’t it.

@greentree16 I do the same every month. Had a really metallic taste in my mouth but was a lot closer to ovulation so can’t be pregnancy related!

I keep thinking will I know when I’m pregnant or not

Roseberry22 · 25/09/2023 13:40

@redheadx I saw your thread and thought I would tag you in this one as well as there’s a few on here already at a similar date!

Sunflower8092 · 25/09/2023 14:31

@IMissMargaritas sorry to hear you're not feeling well! Although hopefully it's a good sign and the start of pregnancy symptoms 🤞
How are you feeling this afternoon? When are you planning on testing?

spacewitch10 · 25/09/2023 14:32

It's horrible this tww isn't it! Every single little thing that's remotely different sets your mind off down a rabbit hole of possibilities, I wish it just happened instantly, so you know straight away!
I've felt really off today, bit dizzy, bit queasy, some cramps, some tender boobs, headachy. All possible af symptoms too though right?! I feel quite down about it actually, like I don't want to see or speak to anyone cause I'm so fed up 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
spacewitch10 · 25/09/2023 14:33

And yes @IMissMargaritas I hope your feeling unwell is because of an impending bfp 🤞🏼 and that your not suffering too much 😩

Thank you

Redheadx · 25/09/2023 15:48

Hi ladies hope it’s ok to jump on.

i think I am 6 DPO but stopped testing due to stress it caused me.

the only werid symptoms is that I don’t have any normally I start to get period symptoms by now.

I have had watery discharge most days which is unusual for me at first it was on my underwear but now mostly when I wipe. Normally I am bone dry.

my boobs feel a little strange like heavy not tender which normally they always would be.

I am tried but I have moved home so could be that.

the TTW is awful but I am definitely not early testing as that makes me worse.

fingers crossed for everyone this is our month

LW678 · 25/09/2023 17:36

Oh my god oh my god oh my god ahhhhh just tested and I have a vvvf positive on an easy@home! I think I’m going to be sick!!!!!!

spacewitch10 · 25/09/2023 17:40

@LW678 YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Those no symptoms were symptoms 😂

OP posts:
LW678 · 25/09/2023 17:42

If you’ve got any cheapies I’d recommend you test now, or definitely in the morning! I feel ill. My husband has warned me not to get my hopes up after my chemical pregnancy a months ago but how can you not when you are so unbelievably desperate for something?!
