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

Welcome @Redheadx 😊 it's so hard to differentiate between af and pregnancy isn't it 😔😔😔 I'm hoping this is a lucky thread for us 🤞🏼✨

@LW678 I have loads of cheapies 😂 did you test tonight?
Completely understand your husband to be cautious but I'm with you! I'd be exactly the same! So happy for you 🥲

I tested as soon as I got back from work at 5:30pm. Completely expected it to be negative but it’s been on my mind ALL day. I’d literally say I’ve got no symptoms apart from feeling slightly nauseous but that’s only because I feel every emotion in the book due to TTC! I am keeping everything crossed for you and everyone on this thread x

Roseberry22 · 25/09/2023 18:19

@LW678 ah congratulations!! Are you 8dpo today? I can understand your husband being reserved but the line is quite clear! Fingers crossed you’ve got a sticky one this time.

@Redheadx im 6dpo today as well I currently don’t really feel any different to previous months, I did have a shooting like cramp in like my pelvic bone yesterday but at 5dpo I think this is too early for anything!

LW678 · 25/09/2023 18:21

Yes 8dpo today, these were evening tests. Fingers crossed for when you test 🤞🏻

Redheadx · 25/09/2023 18:23

Thank you! I’m hoping no symptoms are a good thing! Good luck to everyone x

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?!

Oh amazing!! congratulations Xx

IMissMargaritas · 25/09/2023 20:02

@LW678 Oh my!!!! What an amazing result so early! Definitely a faint little line there Smile

LW678 · 25/09/2023 20:04

Thank you! Just keeping everything crossed that the line darkens!

spacewitch10 · 26/09/2023 05:38

Ahhhhhh. I THINK I just got a bfp. I'm very very wary of it though as it's so light you can barely see it. But I can definitely see something. Guna test again tomorrow morning 🤞🏼😬🤞🏼

OP posts:
spacewitch10 · 26/09/2023 05:45

It's so light I don't want to call it a bfp yet and jinx it 😂 9dpo so hopefully will be darker tomorrow? What do you think girls?

Ahhhhh congratulations! Can definitely see a shadow, exactly like mine! X

spacewitch10 · 26/09/2023 06:51

@LW678 thank you! 🥺 I think yours looks darker than mine and more prominent. Mines only when you tilt it and squint 😂 but then I suppose the camera picked up something too. Guna see if it's darker tomorrow (and probably this evening 😂)
How are you feeling today?!

OP posts:
LW678 · 26/09/2023 06:54

No honestly mine was just a good photo 😂 I’ve been tilting it in all sorts of angles and going directly in the light to see it, that photo was taken in a window! Just bloated really and having cramps on and off, very period like. How are you?

spacewitch10 · 26/09/2023 07:01

@LW678 oh really! That makes me feel better 😂 let's hope they get darker 🤞🏼
Yeah feel the same as you really! Achey boobs too! My headache from yesterday isn't as bad, that was like a skull crusher! So thankful for that 😂Are you guna test again today? Eeeee! Xx

OP posts:
LW678 · 26/09/2023 07:04

Any other time you’d be hating on having a headache but this time you’re thankful for it! Any little symptom I’m so thankful for. More than likely 😂. I’m going to try and hold off as I’d like to watch the progression from my first wee of the day but who am I kidding! Keep me updated!

spacewitch10 · 26/09/2023 07:28

@LW678 haha absolutely! Keep them coming! Will do! Keep us updated too! Xx

@spacewitch10 when I turn my brightness down I can see a squinter of a line! Congratulations, I really hope it’s a sticky one 🤞🏼

keep us updated with line progression pics both of you! @LW678

Im a couple of days behind you and frantically reading back through to see if I have any of the symptoms you described. The only real symptom I’m having at the moment is a sort of cramping pinching on my right side but it could just be PMS as well!

how do you guys count dpo? I ovulated last Tuesday but my app doesn’t start counting until the Thursday so it has me at 6dpo when I think I’d be 7?

Sunflower8092 · 26/09/2023 09:04

Congratulations @LW678 and @spacewitch10!! How exciting, I am thrilled for you both 😁

I have absolutely no symptoms today, my boobs aren't sore anymore, so not getting my hopes up for a BFP this month 😓 still think I'm going to wait another couple of days to test!

Amazing, congratulations! Lets hope this thread is soon filled with BFPs 😊

LW678 · 26/09/2023 12:49

@Sunflower8092 don’t lose hope, I barely had any symptoms!

LW678 · 26/09/2023 12:51

@Roseberry22 I hope you get your BFP soon! On my ovulation test I peaked Saturday morning and they say ovulation usually occurs a day after this so that would be Sunday for me.

Roseberry22 · 26/09/2023 13:29

@Roseberry22 I hope you get your BFP soon! On my ovulation test I peaked Saturday morning and they say ovulation usually occurs a day after this so that would be Sunday for me.

@Sunflower8092 i don’t feel like I really have any symptoms either, I had a cramping pinching pain in my lower right this morning and felt really nauseous but that’s past, I don’t even have sore boobs!

@LW678 I got a positive ovulation test Monday 18th so think I ovulated Tuesday so I guess that puts me 7dpo?

spacewitch10 · 26/09/2023 14:52

Thank you all, really hoping it's a true bfp and if it is it sticks 🤞🏼

@Roseberry22 @Sunflower8092 did you temp or anything? I didn't temp, just went by my app too and says the same thing but I know I ovulated the day before because I always get pains, lots of cm and the day after (the day my app says I ovulate) it all goes away. Even the absolute NEED to have sex vanishes so surely that means no thank you I'm done now 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Obviously there's no way to know for sure but I work my periods out from the ovulation day I calculate too and it's never let me down (even though the app says I'll come on the day after) so if think your 7dpo then go with it tentatively with the idea you could be a day behind when it comes to when you want to test. The symptoms are literally a guessing game in my experience, we all compare and spot and I for one am guilty of it but what's the same for one won't be for the other if that makes sense? Keeping everything crossed for you both and everyone on the thread xx

I’ve been temping for the last 7 cycles but we only started TTC 3 months ago as we got married and had a honeymoon planned. My DH thought it would be a quick process as well ha!

this cycle today is the highest my temp has been on 7dpo but I don’t want to get excited by it likewise with symptoms. I’ll have to sit tight a few more days and then test. I find the whole TWW process so disheartening though and think will this ever happen for me. I managed to get to 5dpo without over thinking anything but the last 2 days I’ve been overanalysing everything again 😂
