3dpo

[Ontheflipside_]

Anyone want to join? I'm going insane!! I'm not sure whether it's because it will be our last chance to have a baby in 2024 or that this is our 5th cycle so if AF comes it then marks half a year of trying, but I'm struggling this cycle. Need distraction! Lol

That’s a good deal @Ontheflipside_ !

@MissEmily5 it could well be implantation! Keep monitoring over the next few days !

@Hopethisendswell could also be the start of implantation cramps perhaps.

The month I conceived I had cramps from 6DPO. However I don’t think I implanted then. In fact pretty sure I implanted late as I got a bfn 12dpo and the faintest squinter at 14dpo. Did get darker but sadly lost at 5 weeks.

I have so much hope for us all this month!

When is everyone testing?

I'm about to fly to Greece on holiday and have two tests in my bag for next Saturday, which will be 10 days past ovulation. Interestingly the NHS site says implantation happens on day 5/6. I thought it was a bit later!

@ToeBeans24 I blooming hope so! Each month I go crazier than the last 😅

errr I’m undecided…I’m considering testing on the 10th, only because it’s my husbands birthday and if I’m slightly further along like I think I might be then there could be a small chance of getting a BFP. But I think that might be setting myself up to fail! Maybe next Saturday? I really don’t know 🙈
my Flo app is predicting my period in 8 days but for me to test in 10 days… the app only started saying to test later than my due period date last month.

@sirensong ooh lovely! I’ve just got back from Athens, it was gorgeous weather. Does it really about implantation bleeding? Nice to hear that I might be in for a chance! :)

Ooh I'll keep an eye on anything else strange going on - as if I wasn't already 😆

I've given in and tested today (obviously a BFN) and probably will everyday, that way I can put it out of my mind and relax a bit. I just don't have the self-control for the long wait!

Have an amazing time @sirensong

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you @MissEmily5

Yeah implantation is earliest 6DPO. Usually 6-12dpo, most common being 9dpo I believe

Your numbers are what I thought!

NHS page says here though 5/6. Weird when information from credible sources differs. https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/week-by-week/1-to-12/1-2-3-weeks/

Hmm v odd. I’m had 2 pregnancies. One non viable which was a late implantation (must’ve been 12dpo) and the other 8dpo. Confirmed with implantation spotting. I guess they can only give a guide or range as we are all diff. Same with ovulation times etc

Really think I could be out this month already 😭 I'm only 5dpo but my cervix is lower and harder 😢😢

@Ontheflipside_ There's still hope 🥰 doesn't it rise and go softer again after implantation? Maybe things will change in a couple of days, don't give up x

Ah I'm not sure! I thought it just stayed high and soft after ovulation if you'd conceived. I didn't do any cervix tracking with my last pregnancy so I have nothing to compare it to really x

I'd always thought so...but I've also just read it stays up 🤷‍♀️ I hope someone with more knowledge can help out.
Still a little ray of hope xx

(Pic was what I always thought happened)

I’ve given up reading into these things as the month I got my bfp I was convinced I was out as cervix was low and open 🤣 🤷🏼‍♀️

It always felt like I had to do an obscene yoga pose to find mine 😂

So this is a bit random, but I'm hesitant. I have had tonsillitis the past few days, 3dpo and think I'm going to have to go to docs tomorrow.....would you take antibiotics if waiting to find out if pregnant? Or am I being ridiculous

I feel like mine is just there all the time 😂 it's always so easy to find because it tilts to the front!

Would you feel happy mentioning it the Dr. @Cherry85 ? They might be able to reassure you or offer alternatives

@Hopethisendswell yeah I guess that would be the logical solution 😂

@Hopethisendswell that made me laugh!! I know exactly what you mean 🤣

@Cherry85 sorry to hear that. I’ve had tonsillitis lots and it sucks. I think it should be ok for most antibiotics but worth a mention to the Dr just in case and for peace of mind.

i got another loads of EWCM this evening at 4dpo. No idea what’s going on. Did an opk. Was expecting the blank circle as that always shows first time you use it after 48hrs with the clear blue one. Checked the line and it’s so faint so not a second ovulation.

What is going on?!

Hi ladies, I'm going to hop in and join you as I'm 3dpo today and have found it helps so much to chat to people who are at the same point. Weirdly my period last month never came and this lh peak snuck up on me so this tww seems more chilled than before as I wasn't expecting it!

Sometimes I don't think our bodies get the memo @ToeBeans24 !

Hi @YorkshirePeridot 🤗are you trying for your first?

Hi ladies, I’m possibly 3dpo but not sure. I had pinching ovulation pain about 4 days ago but today it’s been constant af type cramps and pinching on both sides. I’m waiting for BBT to confirm as sometimes I have a slow rise and so it’s not totally clear yet. Been dtd a lot at least. I’m ttc number 1, I got pregnant back in July but had an early loss. I don’t always ovulate so it’s nice to feel the cramps even tho I’m not sure when ovulation happened/is going to happen.

my partner is so excited he’s went and found random baby books at a charity shop lol.

baby dust to all

@Hopethisendswell Yes this is the first time I've tried, we started at new year! I spent the whole of my twenties terrified of an unplanned pregnancy so it's been a bit of a shock to find out that getting pregnant isn't that easy 🙈

@ToeBeans24 any more EWCM? Could be a good sign?! I know they say lots of creamy CM…but I never take much stock in what they say online because I find there are lots of differing experiences!

@YorkshirePeridot welcome! I’m also TTC baby number 1. I totally get what you mean about worrying about getting pregnant and then all of a sudden it’s not easy 😂 how long have you been trying?
How strange you didn’t get your period? Are you usually regular?

@Plumchumm so sorry about your loss 💔I feel you pain about not ovulating, last year I experienced a few months that I didn’t ovulate and I don’t think I did this month either (but holding on to hope that I did!). How sweet that your husband is so excited!
