3dpo - anyone else?

[Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate]

Hi all 👋🏻

I'm currently 3dpo.. wondering if anyone else is roughly the same and doing the 2ww?! I haaaaate waiting. It feels like a punishment 🤣 just hoping for someone to go through this with!

I’m 4dpo!! It’s horrrrible the waiting and like looking for EVERY possible symptom.

Can I join? I'm potentially 1/2dpo but my body has been sooo strange this month, none of my usual ovulation symptoms other than positive LH so who knows what'll happen this 2ww!

@candyflossxox you are right! I'm thinking every little thing is a sign and it's awful! I have little pains, like really light period pains, that I swear I don't normally have but it's nowhere near AF being due!

@Wednesdayonline welcome! Glad yo have some people to wait with! What is LH? Only just getting used to all the lingo 🙈 I've only really noticed ovulation symptoms (and by that I mean taking note of changes in CM) last cycle, and we weren't TTC then.

Same I have little aches and pains too. My 3rd cycle trying but I done ovulation tests this time. I was going my Flo app before. I try keeping busy for the two weeks but it still doesn’t control my thoughts 😂

@candyflossxox do you think you will test early? I found a spare pregnancy test this morning, in the bathroom cupboard from my CP back in 2023, so that's dangerous 🤣 I didn't think I had any in! I know it's obviously pointless testing as early as I am. AF is only due around the 26th I think.

I will try try try not to test early, I had chemical in January so try not to test early. But I have got a box of cheap tests. Il try hold off till like 10dpo maybe lol. It’s hard not too. But I don’t wanna be obsessed every month lol. AF due 24th doesn’t seem far away but just hate the not knowing

Hello! I’m not 100% sure but think I’m likely around 5 or 6dpo. AF is due on the 24th. Don’t want to test early if I can help myself but it’s so tempting 🙈

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate LH is luteinising hormone (or something)! It's what the pee stick ovulation tests measure :) rises just before ovulation. Tmi but I usually have sore nipples right after ovulation but this time nothing!

@candyflossxox I'm the same. I feel like if I start testing early, as this is my first cycle if it doesn't work I'll do the same next month, and the next.

@CrazyKJ I think I'm due on about the 26th so a couple of days later than you. I hate the wait and just want to know whether I am or not, but don't want to test early. I think I'd rather wait and see if AF arrives or not, than face the disappointment of a negative test.

@Wednesdayonline I actually just found a pack of ovulation tests in the cupboard too, back from 2023 🤣 I haven't used them this time but if this month isn't the one then maybe next time! I don't think I really have anything before/around/after ovulation, not that I've ever noticed anyway. Do you think you not having that this time could me you are pregnant?

I’m potentially around 5/6dpo. Wasn’t tracking but had all the usual signs.
hoping to hold out until the middle of next week to test, but will probably cave Monday 🤦‍♀️

@Peanutbutterjelly123 it's so hard not to do it isn't it! I do think I'll manage to hold out until next weekend as I just do not have the time to test on a weekday morning, so by then I'll be 10/11 dpo..

I’m also hoping to hold off til the weekend as we’re going away for a couple of nights. I don’t want to be thinking about testing the whole time or wondering if AF is on her way. Hoping it’ll be accurate by then as will only be a day or 2 early. Feels so long to wait though 🙈

@CrazyKJ lovely, hope you enjoy your nights away and manage to not think about testing too much! I think I'm struggling because with my first it was first cycle, and I'm worried it won't happen as quick this time as I'm now classed as geriatric 🙃

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate
Ah thanks lovely, not going to be a relaxing few days as taking our 2 year old to Legoland 😂
We fell preg really quickly with our first too so it’s really disheartening that it’s taking longer this time. I’m 32 so I know I’ve got time but mentally it feels a lot each month that goes by.

Hi
I am 3dpo nd I had a cm mixed with a tiny bit blood twice when I wiped. I have been having leg cramps nd generally feeling like AF is about to show, only that I am not due till 12 m days time. Anyone else had this experience?

Yeah maybe not so relaxing @CrazyKJ 🤣 is that the one at Windsor? I've never been but my little lad would love it! How long have you been trying for number 2? I'm 35 now so was still over 30 when I had my first.

Hi @PoliteMentor 👋🏻 I've had a lot of light cramping as in a lesser version of AF, straight from the get go! And felt nauseous, but don't know if these things are just because I want to feel things and for me to be pregnant! Do you have any children already?

Hi @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate Thanks for your response. I really have been feeling nauseous too but same say I feel when AF is about to show. What is bothering me is just that my period isnt due till 12 days time!. The CM nd blood stain has stopped now( only twice yesterday when I wiped), but the leg cramps is not any lesser than I would feel when AF is about to show. And no I don’t have any children yet.

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate Yeah it’s the Windsor one 😊 Our boy loved it when we took him for the first time in October. He keeps seeing the ad on TV and has wanted to go back for a while lol. We stopped preventing around 10 months ago but only started roughly tracking ovulation etc after Christmas. How about you?

@PoliteMentor Ive also been having slight cramps since approx 3 or 4dpo. Pretty tired today and slight headache too. Could all be just coincidence but 🤞🤞🤞

@CrazyKJ Yeah. Really want it to be my month. Honestly tired

@PoliteMentor yeah I get that, it’s draining isn’t it.
sending lots of positivity, hopefully will be a lucky month all round 🥰

@PoliteMentor I'm the same with my cramping, not due on for another 10 days! I don't remember being like this with my first. Is this your first month trying?

@CrazyKJ this is our first month trying. I had a cp in Jan 2023, and that messed with me. So it wasn't on the table really until I spoke to my DH and told him I'd probably be really sad if I didn't at least try to have another, and he agreed. I was never one and done, so I do hope we get a sibling for our little one!

Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us 🤞🏻

I’ve been cramping on and off since predicted ovulation and had ridiculous bloating. Haven’t had my first postpartum period yet so don’t really know what’s going on with my body.
had a positive 8dpo with my first and 9dpo second time with my angel baby so trying to hold out past then will be hard

Are you still trying to hold off until midweek? Ah I'm sorry to hear you've had to go through the loss of having a little angel baby 😥

Good morning everyone! I had a strong urge to test this morning but it would have been absolutely pointless as I'm now only 5pdo 🤣 got some cheap tests in my basket because I do think I'll test at the weekend 👀
