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

tell me about it lol I’m 29 and I’m like wait getting pregnant is almost impossible 😂

Aw thanks hun. What are your symptoms today?

I had my third day of elevated BBT so my slow rise has finally caught up. I tentatively think I can confirm ovulation 3-4 days ago. But what’s odd is that I’ve had cramping all night and I have still been taking LH tests, it was faint but is now getting strong again.

Going to join in here - I think I'm 4dpo.

I had an early MC last month and so we are trying again straight away (haven't had a period yet). Obviously the MC has messed things up a bit so I'm not that hopeful. Had my peak on Weds last week (+CM) but I'm not sure I actually ovulated. Also lh peak was CD19 which is late for me (but normal after a MC I think).

BBT never dropped down to normal pre-ov levels (but I've also had wisdom tooth pain so I think that's also contributed) so now my temp is kind of high but there's not an obvious spike!

Honestly this TTC business messes with your head! I'm very chill about most things in life but this is sending me crazy!

Sorry to hear that @Plumchumm , hope this is the month for you 🥰

Sorry for your loss @Sarah268 how are you doing?

I'm going crazy too and this is a "surprise", I honestly think you all TTC are made of strong stuff xx

@MissEmily5 no more EWCM. Seems to come in the evening mainly. I do feel ‘wetter’ (sorry tmi but we are used to this talk by now haha) than previous months. Usually completely dry

@Plumchumm happy days! LH’s getting darker? You never know you could be pregnant, isn’t that what happens? The LH’s get darker when you’re pregnant.
I’m still spotting, I have a little in my pants but it’s mainly when I wipe. It’s light brown and watery, but I’m really not holding out hope. My stomach also feels really tight if that makes sense…I think I’m a probably going to be starting early.

@Sarah268 really sorry about your loss😔 hopefully this month will result in an extra sticky bean. Wish I could say I’m chilled in life but I’m really not, I have OCD as well which makes TTC even more all consuming 😅 my OH certainly does well in calming me with this whole thing!

@ToeBeans24 wetter is good I’d say! If it’s different from your usual I’d be taking it as a good thing!☺️ certainly used to this sort of talk now- I feel like when you’re TTC and with these sort of chats it should be all the gory details, just the realities of it all! 😂

That sounds hopeful @ToeBeans24 💕
Are you testing tomorrow?

How is everyone else's symptoms going today? Bad PMT type anger issues, sore back and tingly boobs here. TMI - lotion like CM, soft high cervix. BFN this morning (too early, I'm practicing!)

Had a VERY strange conversation with DH...about buying tests in bulk...he alluded to keeping trying, but then back peddled when I asked directly. He does tend to get broodier than me, so I'll have to iron this out by the weekend 🤔

Hope you're all enjoying your day x

@Hopethisendswell ohhh maybe it’s one of those things where you don’t know how much you want it till you start trying. My OH definitely had a change after our chemical. We were trying but when that happened he has got more involved and hopeful etc.

As much as I’d love to test tomorrow I’m holding out until Friday (9dpo). Don’t think I’d see anything tomorrow as I’m only 5dpo now.

No other symptoms just a bit bloated and light cramps at times. Also a weird bubbling feeling but maybe that’s the bloat 🤣

Thanks all. The MC honestly knocked me sideways. Awful! Can't even imagine what is must feel like to go through that at a later stage of pregnancy ❤

I have no symptoms at all (apart from being a crazy lady!) but it's so early.

@Hopethisendswell also have the lotion/creamy type CM but no other symptoms at all.

@MissEmily5 can imagine TTC + OCD is full on! Glad your OH is supporting you though. Mine tries 😅

Anyone got anything to distract them over the TWW? I'm going to trying and do a few jobs round the house & garden that I've been putting off!

@ToeBeans24 same with my OH - when I had the MC I think he realised how much he really wanted a baby.

@MissEmily5 I actually have no idea if I'm regular or not as I came off birth control after 15 years in December so only had two cycles before this unexplained missed period 🤷‍♀️

@Sarah268, welcome in and so sorry to hear about your loss 💕 Hopefully this will be your cycle.

@ToeBeans24 tmi? In an anonymous ttc forum? 🤣 obviously no such thing and I am actually also feeling weirdly "damp" today, I'm constantly aware of it.

I'm trying really hard not to symptom spot but there I was this morning sat in a meeting thinking about how unusual it was that I had a touch of heartburn and how weird my decaff coffee tasted. But totally not symptom spotting. I'll test at the weekend I think.

Ah yes, sorry @ToeBeans24 well done for holding on x

I'm redecorating the downstairs loo, and planting lots of seeds. What have you got planned @Sarah268 ?

I think we need personal bingo cards for symptom spotting 😆

Hi everyone!! Loads of messages so won't reply to all 😍 welcome to everyone who just joined!

I've been driving myself absolutely mad today. I really feel like AF is on the way. Highly emotional, bloated, constipated, cravings etc. I think I'm out this month but trying not to lose hope just yet

I feel a bit irritable today. Can’t be pms as AF is still 9 days away. Still got excess CM and it’s still stretchy but less egg white than the last 2 days. God I never thought I’d talk about my discharge so openly and frequently outside my Flo app 🤣🤣

5dpo and had cramps today and that bubbly feeling

@ToeBeans24 sounds promising! There's so much to analyse isn't there! Not out until the fat lady sings I suppose!

@YorkshirePeridot hmm, how long ago was your last period? I know it’s a pretty big leap and I’m sure you’ve checked many, many times! But there is no possible way you’re pregnant? My sister didn’t find out she was pregnant for quite some time as she has low HCG; she’s currently 18 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby and the midwife just said some people take quite some time to test positive.

As for symptoms; I’ve been very emotional (but I am quite emotional😂), twinges on both sides, very mild cramps and some more brownish watery CM. I’ve tried to check for my cervix but to be honest, I’m really not too sure what I’m meant to be feeling- it’s mid/high up, feels medium soft but I can’t never tell if it’s open or closed 🙈

I feel like cervix checking is an absolute nightmare! I have no clue if mine is ever open or closed but it keeps moving from low to medium and feels hard!

@Ontheflipside_ i sometimes feel like it is just another way for me to stress out 😂 it’s the same for BBT for me, I get so stressed about it all

Same here with the cervix checking! I can always feel it but I honestly cannot work out if it’s up/down/open/closed 🤯🤯

Omg it's so stressful!! I refuse to check next month because it's making me so dejected!! 🙄😂

@MissEmily5 my last period started Feb 25, I'm currently 15 days late. I last tested for pregnancy about 5 days ago around the time I got my lh peak. The positive opks and ovulation symptoms are much earlier than I would have expected so I'm assuming that in March I had a failed ovulation and my body has just had another go without having a period in between. I'm choosing not to worry because I can give or take periods but as long as I'm ovulating I have a chance of conceiving!

I've become obsessed with CM and checking my cervix each day...I even asked DH to double check, he looked panicked and is hiding from me now😆
