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!

If it were me, Id probably log from today if it was so little before. We’ve not used opks but have just bought some to try. My understanding is that just test with them until you get the strongest line, and make sure to dtd when it seems to be getting darker so you catch the peak.
AF seems to have returned slightly this afternoon, its just all so odd as I don’t usually stop start. Going to just see what happens, definitely not enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions with it all at the minute 🙈

Oh that's annoying! It now changes ovulation to when we are on holiday with DS, and fertile window opens next weekend, which is so busy for us with a birthday party to host 😤

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate ah man that’s annoying. It’s always the way isn’t it 🤷🏻‍♀️
AF has turned into spotting like it’s stopping again now. If it’s still like it in the morning I might actually have to test. I really don’t think I am but this is driving me crazy 🙈

I really hope everything settles for you both, sounds like your bodies are messing with you this month. X

Morning, AF has most definitely just been messing with me. Just done a test, negative as expected. I’ve never had such a weird cycle before, hopefully just a one off 🙈

Same here! I haven't bothered testing now she's fully here but Thursday and Friday I did when just spotting! So frustrating! Hoping she buggers off now so I can ovulate before we go on holiday 🤣

obviously none of us are in our tww now but how’s everyone doing? 😊

Hello! I'm good thanks, how are you? I am NOT testing early this month, what will be will be! Just DTD for the first time since AF even though it's a low chance! Just going to go every other day or so this time, until well after the 7th when (arrcording to 3 different apps 🤣) I ovulate.

How are you doing?

Ah glad you’re good. Definitely worth a try, they say every other day is good so 🤞🤞yeah not too bad thanks. We’re taking a break from actively ttc this month. Me and hubby both started taking some different supplements and I’m also trying opk strips to check in ovulating when I think I am for the first time this month. Hoping it’ll all help our chances next month 😊

I’m potentially 4dpo! Might be further, not too sure!

Hi! How are we all? X

Hey 👋 not too bad thanks. How are you?
Loving all this summery weather 😁

Hey! I’ve been so down the past 2 weeks continuously testing and feeling disappointed. But sun is shining, last day of AF tomorrow so i’m in a much better mood now ☺️

I always read threads in my TWW but never actually join 🙈 so hopefully can have some company this month x

Hi @lauraxoxo , definitely get yourself on some chats. It can be a lonely time without people to talk too X

thanks for the message! Yes, looking forward to going through this journey with others in the same boat. I don’t really talk about it with anyone else as it’s just too much pressure 😊

Yeah it’s definitely difficult when you don’t have anyone to natter about all things ttc. I’m not in my tww wait atm, just needed a break from the rollercoaster of emotions. Will be back on it next cycle but it’s been nice to not be obsessing over every little symptom X

@CrazyKJ this weather is beautiful isn't it! I'm away this week by the coast and waking up to a sea view is something else! Getting my casper legs out today 🤣

@lauraxoxo glad to have you here! I either don't chat or when I do people don't reply, so this chat has been lovely! Apparently my ovulation was yesterday (according to apps) but I've had very little CM compared to usual so I'm not sure if I'm in the 2ww now or not!!

Xx

Oh coastal view would be much better than my view this morning! At least I’m WFH this week because cars in the garage.

How many DPO are you now? I usually get peak around CD13/14 but didn’t have it til CD18 last month so I’m preparing for a longer wait again x

Ah sounds amazing to be at the coast now! Enjoy your week away, Casper legs really tickled me 🤣

Well I'm now on CD 12.. according to some apps ovulation was yesterday making me only 1dpo, according to 1 app it is tomorrow. I had the tiniest bit of EWCM on Sunday, but nothing compared to usual or for as long, so who knows! Next month I'm going to do the OPKs to be sure. Really need to DTD tomorrow too but we've been so busy being away!

Honestly, I'm paler than casper in reality! It's ridiculous 🤣

X

I’ve only been using the OPKs for the past 3 cycles, didn’t even know it was a thing before!

I’ve always used Flo app but since starting OPKs I use the Premom app too which I find good because usually changes my app predictions by a day or 2 x

@lauraxoxo this is only my 2nd cycle. With my DS I was so lucky and we got pregnant so quickly, even with my CP that happened quickly. I think I'll find it difficult if it takes so long this time. Do you have any children already?

I've downloaded Flo and Premom already, Premom in anticipation of using my OPKs! I bought them for my CP but didn't end up using as it happened so quick.

That was a ramble but I don't have the energy to rearrange my sentence, sorry! X

Oh wow, that’s promising with how quick it happened before! you might not even get a chance to use OPKs 🤭

I prefer the Flo app for adding symptoms but the Premom app for testing!

Yes I’ve got two, 9 & 2. How olds yours?

ps we should deffo have option to voice note 🤣

Voice noting would be soooo much easier 🤣 I'm in bed watching Grey's Anatomy shoveling sweets down my neck with a snoring child (and dog) next to me, and trying to type things that make sense!

My DS is 4.. genuinely love this age! Do you like the age gap between your two?

I'll be keeping everything crossed that this is the month it happens!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate

ooh I’ve not seen that, were watching the reacher on Prime! It’s so catchy, we’re watching few episodes a night but I always tell myself I need a earlier night 😂

Yeah it’s lovely and there bond is so sweet! but so bloody mischievous together. I wouldn’t want an age gap that big again just because it’s harder for me going back to that newborn stage after that long lol x
