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

Yeah so I used the strip tests and they got darker as the days went on from nothing to like super dark, I had a spare plastic test left yesterday so I used it since I’m POAS obsessed and two lines were dark. I never noticed a gradual change on the plastic tests tho it was literally the same colour during ovulation?
Could it be that there’s still ovulation hormones floating around, maybe if I strip tested it would be super faint?

Has anyone had symptoms super early after conception, I hate the TWW, literally drags doesn’t it!

Do we all have kids already or is this the first time for some?

Hi @Louki35 👋

Accidental 3rd! We have older teens, so should be fun.

Is this your first?

@Hopethisendswell i totally get what you mean. Typical thing of you don’t know how much you want it until you invest so much isn’t it.

@Sarah268 yes I think if it was a later loss (so sorry to hear that) it wouldn’t have been implantation related. Even with a chemical to be honest they implant ok but it’s often an embryo issue usually a chromosomal one.

@Louki35 welcome! Yes trying for me first after a chemical in feb which was conceived first cycle. Now on second cycle after that at 8dpo. Interesting your lines are still dark. Could be a long surge Altho it normally only lasts 48 hrs max. Difficult to know. Did you say you used different branded strips to test? That could be why? Unless you have had 2 surges which can also happen. Just keep DTD just in case!

That’s my motto although I now feel like I need 10 redbulls and a full body massage after this months ‘performance’….

And yes @Louki35 lots of symptoms from 1dpo but I am a serious practised symptom spotter so I’ve lost all sense of reality in what is real and what is not 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh dear!
It’ll be like having one again, my friends just had a little surprise in February at 35yo and he’s just perfect but her other two are older so it’s crazy!

No this would be my second, I had a chemical about two years ago, that was strange but yeah one of those things.

Ive been reading these posts for days dnd thought oh just join lol it’s so hard isn’t it, has anyone tried the SMEP?

🫧😊🤍

@ToeBeans24
Are you! Ok great, I swear I couldn’t eat my dinner yesterday from feeling sick, but I’m now like hmmmmm are you being to ‘watchy’ for dumping it literally came out of no where the sickness feeling! 🫧😊🤍

@Louki35 yes I did smep this month. Altho missed the 3rd day post positive opk …

I’ve been quite nauseous this morning. But we shall see haha. Testing tomorrow at 9dpo. Likely still to early but SO hopeful. I know it’s still early days at cycle 3 but after conceiving first try and then losing the baby I’m hyper anxious (more so than normal as I’m a natural pessimist and worrier!)

@ToeBeans24 oh fingers crossed for you!

When did you symptoms start this time? Some people get a positive 8DPO, that seems like forever away for me lol, I keep getting little twinges low down too but I’m like, would anything have happened yet?
I’ve also read up on certain vitamins to take to help for a healthy womb and conceiving so I’ve been taking them daily!
What tests does everyone recommend for early POAS?

🫧😊🤍

@Louki35 i have the internet cheapie strips (Wondfo is the brand). They are quite sensitive, more so than a supermarket one.

I had unusual CM from 3dpo which was my first symptom. It’s been stretchy for a few days post ov then very watery whereas I normally have none. Cramps since 4dpo but more intense from 6DPO.

At the mo I’m only taking folic acid and vit D. What are you taking? Xx

@ToeBeans24
its bonkers isn’t it because I think on the TWW this time for me I’m like conscious of symptoms I’m like, could that be? Is that sickness? It’s ALOT! I think aswell because I’ve properly tracked this cycle from day one this time, it’s been a long few days since my last period but here’s hoping!

I had an HSG at the end of December too so that’s meant to clear your tubes as such lol!

oooh I’m taking Folic acid, Omega 3, Vit D, Maca Root, CoQ10 that has coenzyme in it and Vit E! So yeah it’s a good amount!

With my first I literally took folic acid for a month and fell pregnant the next, that was after having been on the pill/the jag all those didn’t agree with me tho so I had been off them a while before falling pregnant.

This time I’m literally au natural 😂🤭 since I had my last baby so 🙏🏽 tracking, taking the vitamins, DTD and manifesting MEGA

So you know we're a little crazy on here then @Louki35 !

I'm so done with this today.

I've slept until 11am completely by accident (WFH so that's a relief), I'm really nauseous, everything down there is pinching and pulling and my boobs hurt. I've shouted, then cried at my daughter and nearly fainted in the garden feeling dizzy 😢. I'm sure I'm just tired from lateish night and possibly still the progesterone from normal cycle.
Why can't my body be bloody consistent, why don't I pay more attention each month 😑

I'm just going to have a little cry and pull myself together.

Sending hugs to everyone who does this each month xxx

@Hopethisendswell sending hugs back. Be kind to yourself. The hormonal shift each cycle is real! Xx

@Hopethisendswell how far along are you?

@ToeBeans24 how many kids do you have just now?

Update is, haven’t felt sick today one bit so thought I was bonkers yesterday UNTIL I’ve came out for lunch, sat down looked at the menu and ordered a Pepsi Max (my favourite) took a drink and NOPE instant boke, what the heck! Is this all in my mind tho 🫧😊🤍

@Hopethisendswell sorry have I picked you up wrong 😐🤦🏽‍♀️ my apologies if I have I thought you were already pregnant and third on the way 🫧😊🤍

No need to apologise @Louki35 🤗
I'm only 9po, but just feeling so fed up today! BFN this morning, so I think I'm just feeling the normal hormones extra strong this month.
I'm not TTC so I've not developed the mental endurance or determination for a TWW. Everyone on here is very kind and patient with me though ☺

@Louki35 no children yet. Ttc number 1.

eugh strong urge to test just now which resorted in me POAS 8dpo, not even FMU. WHY. Anyway, bfn and now I feel shit

@ToeBeans24 oh nooo 🫣 never got a positive until the day my period was due im sure so still time!

@Hopethisendswell oh i see completely understand!

its so difficult isn’t it it’s such a long wait!

im desperate for this to just hurry so i can test 🫧😊🤍

Ah @ToeBeans24 I'm sorry, there's still time 💕

Oooookay....I just literally bent double driving from a sharp cramp lasting 10-20 seconds....6dpo - could that be implantation cramp?

I've arrived at my Greek island villa and it's beautiful. The timing is pretty annoying though - I wish it was ovulation party week not neurotic symptom scouring time. I've got two tests with me but they are (supposedly 6 days early) clearblue ones. I'm new on here so have only just seen all the threads about evaps/indents/blue dye issues etc.

Sounds wonderful @sirensong hope you can ignore the symptom spotting and enjoy your villa x

Have you had any spotting @Cherry85? Keeping fingers crossed for you. Hope it's not too uncomfortable x

@Louki35 welcome to the mad house, hope your tww goes quickly!

@sirensong ooh lovely, enjoy! Hope you can relax and honestly if I was on holiday right now I'd be treating it like ovulation party week 🥳

I've not had any symptoms for a couple of days, trying to see it as neither a negative nor a positive thing.

Evening everyone!
I hope everyone is doing okay and not going too mad this TWW. 😂
Luckily work has kept me distracted and surprisingly, I’ve not been too disheartened when I’ve popped to the toilet and seen more brown spotting! This is day 4 of spotting and I’m now 3 days away from my period due date…! Not sure what’s gone on with my cycle this month at all.

@MissEmily5 did you say your sister had similar spotting before her BFP? You're not out just yet 💕

Everyone's cycles seem a bit off this month 🤔
