3dpo

[spacewitch10]

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

No I've never taken my temp or used OPKs, I've just gone by my app / CM. I count the last day of EWCM as ovulation day

To be fair we haven't been TTC for very long, our first cycle trying I fell pregnant, and this is my first cycle trying again after the loss. Although I know it is normal to take a lot longer to conceive so I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself or get my hopes up for it to happen again so quickly.

I think I've had a little spotting this afternoon, it's hard to tell as I'm wearing dark underwear. It may be implantation bleeding or the start of AF 🤷🏻‍♀️ have any of you ladies ever had implantation bleeding?

I’ve never had implantation bleeding but wish I had for reassurance!

@spacewitch10 have you tested at all this evening? I did when I got back from work and the line is hardly there. Hoping it’s because I’ve just drank lots of water today and not because this is going to turn into another chemical!

@Roseberry22 ah congratulations on the wedding!
I've never actually done the temping thing so I don't fully understand it sorry! Definitely just try and sit tight for a few days, if you know approximately when you've ovulated then use that as a baseline with the knowledge any hpt might not be as accurate the more days before your due on... if that makes sense?!
@Sunflower8092 I've had early pregnancy bleeding with my son, but that was around 6 weeks. They actually classed that as implantation bleeding, i had a feeling I was pregnant but kept getting bfn, I didn't get a bfp until I was nearly 6 weeks and then had a light bleed the day after I had my bfp. So could have been a late implantation? Who knows! I used to work in maternity for 7 years until very recently and it's really quite a divide in ratio to who had implantation bleeding and who didn't. Again another wonderful guessing game to the ttc process 😩
@LW678 I stupidly tested again at lunchtime. And could barely see a thing, infact I would say I couldn't see anything at all. I'm guna test in the morning with fmu, we're both only 9dpo so if we're testing later in the day and urine is more diluted that could be why? Last night your wee might have been more concentrated? I really panicked when I saw that and have been worrying about a chemical all afternoon too, so I hope your ok. Just test again in the morning xx

@spacewitch10 thank you! I definitely think I’ll try and sit tight until Friday, it’s just so hard not to always think about it isn’t it.

sending you and @LW678 all the luck for the mornings test

I hope and pray this isn’t another chemical and our tests in the morning are darker 😩

Thank you to everyone on here for all of the support I’d honestly love to know you all in person and praying you get your BFP’s soon ❤️

@Roseberry22 oh it's horrible! Literally all you can think about isn't it. I've been so unproductive the last week! Really hope the next few days go quickly for you though!

@LW678 so do I! Since I've done that afternoon test I've completely deflated and almost talked myself out of it being positive 😔 and my boobs feel softer tonight and not as many cramps. Honestly think I'm out now 😔 just want it to be morning so we can test again! Praying for stronger lines for us both 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Fingers crossed for you both, please keep us updated! Xx

Thanks @greentree16! How are you feeling today? Are you 8dpo now?

As @LW678 said thank you all for being so lovely and supportive!

@spacewitch10 @LW678 it's still very early days for you both so fingers crossed. I'll be thinking about you both tomorrow morning 🤞

Morning everyone. I'm not sure what the test yesterday was showing but I've just retested and it's definitely no darker, just looks the same as yesterday ☹️ so think I'm out this month 😭
@LW678 did you retest? 🤞🏼

Don’t worry hcg doubles every 48 hours so it may not show any darker yet. I’ve been on lots of forums and comparing everyone’s tests! Mine is the same too x

@LW678 well that's true. God I hope that's the case for both of us. It's so disheartening and stressful isn't it! Xx

It’s the only thing I’m thinking about. I feel sick with worry. It did give me reassurance looking at all the old posts on forums and seeing people go on to have a healthy pregnancy when their tests were so light to begin with x

@LW678 ☹️☹️ yeah same. I hope your ok! I might have a look at other forums too just to calm my mind a bit xx

Morning ladies, can you both still see a squinter? if so you might not be out yet it is still so early and your hcg may not be high enough yet to make a darker line 🤞🏼

Yeah 9dpo today. BFN 😩. Convinced I've had cramps especially yesterday so think I'd got my hopes up. Oh well I'll keep on with the cheapies!

Had absolutely no idea when I tested positive with my chemical, no symptoms until after I'd tested which was very much a random after work lets POAS for fun so you can imagine my shock when I saw two lines 😂

How are you all doing today?

@Roseberry22 yeah a squinter. But again when I hold it in a certain light and tilt it around, sometimes I think I can see it without doing that but think my eyes are playing tricks. I'm worried it's an indent but I guess like you say still very early and so there's time. Not due on for a couple days yet either.

@greentree16 I bet that was a shock! But it does get your hopes up doesn't it 😔 hopefully your cramps are a sign of a bfp this time 🤞🏼

Feel so angry today if I'm honest. Had quite strong cramps this morning and boob/armpit pain but with the v v v faint line in mind I'm wondering if that's just an indent and actually my periods on its way 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s so hard isn’t it! I’m really debating today whether to get some cheap tests off Amazon for tomorrow as I’ll be either 8/9 dpo by then or whether to try and just wait until my periods due now.

I feel absolutely nothing today, no cramps no nausea maybe slightly sore breasts but nothing to write home about. I guess if I am only 7/8 soo today I would only just be in the implantation stage.

@Roseberry22 in all honesty, for me anyway, I wish I hadn't baught them! Yes it's so hard waiting for period and the suspense is awful but doing the cheapies is so disappointing and confusing that it just makes you feel bad for days. If you get faint/indents/evaps anyway. That's just in my honest opinion/experience, you might feel differently or have a different outcome! xx

I’ve resisted the urge with the Amazon cheapies. I’m going to get some boots early response to take before the wedding Friday just to make sure.

I think I would be the same as you if you get a vvvvfpl it’s really difficult to know whether it’s an indent or the start of a positive! Sending you a hug and hope for a darker line when you retest x

If I am being completely honest I really wish I had the willpower to hold off from testing, but I don’t and some people do which I am so envious of. It’s the complete heartbreak of getting your hopes up for them then to be shattered with a chemical pregnancy. But it is still early days and I am not losing hope and neither should you @spacewitch10 unless AF arriving tells you otherwise.

@Roseberry22 and @greentree16 sending baby dust to you both!

I agree cheapies aren't worth it, but I just can't stop myself! Convinced I can see a shadow on this one but I have seriously bad line eyes 😩

@Roseberry22 yeah that's a good idea! I'd definitely want to know before the wedding. Or at least try and find out so would do the same as you too!
I'm completely the same @LW678, before I never knew or even suspected I was pregnant until I'd missed my period. So all this symptom spotting and easy testing stuff is new to me and it's so stressful that if I don't get a true bfp this month and try again I will try my hardest not to buy any tests until my period.... but it's the waiting isn't it! It's horrible!
@greentree16 you haven't got line eyes! I can see it too! I think we're using the same tests and thats what mine looked like so I'm hoping and praying for us, for all of us, a tentative congratulations to you and may they get darker 😂🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼✨✨✨✨✨
