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!

Oh I might have a look at that if it's good! I watched High Potential on Disney (that was fab!!) and then kept hearing adverts for Greys Anatomy and now I'm loving it!

I think I've forgotten all things newborn as it is 🙈 timing of feeds and all that, I'll have no idea!! X

Hey everyone, how are we? Is anyone else in their 2ww? I presume I definitely am now. I am NOT teating early this month... either AF arrives or she doesn't, and then I'll test.

@CrazyKJ how is the OPK testing doing this month? I'll be giving that a go next month if I need to!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatehey! I’m only CD8 ovulation due in the next week ☺️ are you near AF being due? How are you feeling? x

AF only due on the 21st/22nd so not that close 🙈 I am going to resist testing early though this month. I don't know whether it helps me or not.

I'm feeling fine.. also going to not symptom spot!

How are you feeling? X

Hey, hopefully you won’t need them 🤞 but the opk’s have actually been quite interesting. I always thought I ovulated quite early in my predicted fertile week because of the cm I had. Turns out my peak this month was actually towards the end of that week. I’ve been using the Premom app and liked being able to take a picture of each strip so I could see it getting darker 😊

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate hopefully goes by fast! And I’m not going to be testing early again this month (I say that now..) but it really dragged last cycle.

I’ve had a busy day and just got home from a meal so feeling shattered!

@CrazyKJ I love the Premom app, so helpful to track x

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate @lauraxoxo
Good luck with the not testing early 🤞🤞 I moved mine out of the bathroom so it’s harder to do it as a spur of the moment thing lol X

Yeah I'm already taking back my 'not testing early' comment 🤣 haven't tested yet and I'll try not to, but I do think I might next weekend! Not symptom spotting though!

How’s everyone hanging in there?
AF arrived a few days early for me this morning. Feeling really positive to be onto the next cycle though 😊

@CrazyKJglad to hear your feeling positive for next cycle! Have you been trying long?
I had flashing smiley for 7th day 😣 had extra CM today so hoping peak is close!

We stopped preventing around a year ago and then started properly trying after Christmas. How about you? 😊 I’m new to using opks so haven’t tried the digitals, from what I’ve seen on other posts it sounds like you could be nearly at peak though 🤞

This is 3rd cycle actually tracking but been trying for almost 2 years. If the digital does tie up with the OPKs then I’ll just stick to using them I think! x

Hi both. I'm testing like a crazy woman and still 100% negative 🫠 I'm 11 dpo today and can't even get an evap line on any test I've done ha! I feel like early testing at least helps me prepare for AFs arrival, otherwise I'd be so disappointed when she arrived. I know im only on cycle 2 but i just feel like what if I'm too old now 😫

Sorry to hear another BFN! 11 dpo is still so early tho. I know what u mean tho I think if it helps to test early to minimise the disappointment then go for it! x

Still early days @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate not out til af actually shows 😊

Know what you mean about worrying about being too old though. We fell pregnant really fast with our first so assumed it wouldn’t take long this time either. Only differences this time round are being older and that I had a c-section with our first. Hard not to start wondering if there’s something wrong 😔

Yep 100% @CrazyKJ we also fell so quickly with our first and with our CP. I feel like that's not going to be the same this time round!

Happy Easter Ladies 🐣

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate I know it doesn’t help while you’re still waiting but you hear of people conceiving after 35 all the time. So I’m sure it’ll happen soon! 😊

I know I know 🤣🙈 .. I said the same when we started trying for our first, because I'd never been pregnant before.

This morning I just peed really quickly so I couldn't get a test out! AF due either tomorrow or Monday, and of course now I've thought about AF I can immediately feel cramping!

How are you? Hoppy Easter 🐣 (I really am that cheesy in real life, too 🙃)

Hoppy Easter right back at you lol.

Haha yep sometimes just doing that first wee really fast is the way to go if you want to avoid testing lol 😂

Yeah I’m not too bad thanks, it’s been a nice day but super busy day with family and an overstimulated toddler. How was your day? 😊

it’s been a nice day but super busy day with family and an overstimulated toddler - basically my last 2 weeks with DSs birthday, holiday and Easter 🤣 it's been a good day really!

I'm tired now but desperately want to get my jigsaw (Wasgij) done before Friday.. it's so hard though!! I don't know why I pick them up ha! Also looking forward to being back at work purely to stop eating rubbish 🫠

Do you know if tracking BBT I can use my child's thermometer if it says I can use it orally (normally use it under his armpit)? Or is that weird 🫣

Ah god yeah I can imagine, be nice to get back to normality. It’s so hard not to eat rubbish when you’re home and it’s there lol. I love a puzzle, hubby says it’s an old person hobby but it’s just so relaxing.
As far as I’m aware armpit thermometers aren’t the most sensitive. So you’d be better off getting one specifically for using orally. I could be wrong mind, especially if it says it can be used orally X

Good morning! AF has just about arrived so back to CD1, cycle 3! Going to use the OPK's this cycle, and maybe the BBT tracking to get a better idea of my body during my cycles!

How are we all? Where are people up to?

Morning! Ah sorry to hear the witch arrived @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate. Hopefully it’s 3rd time lucky for you this cycle 🤞Hubby seems to have shared some germs as I’ve woken up feeling achy and tired, hoping it doesn’t last long 🙈 I’m on CD4 and back on it this month. Will start again with the opk’s too so feeling hopeful 😊

Ooo yay, I'm not far behind you then which makes it easier for me to remember and not keep asking 🤣 I'm going to use a notebook I think to keep track of my cycle and symptoms etc as I find it so much easier to have things all on one page rather than apps.

Trying to book holidays for next year with my parents but we look at Easter and Summer, so if I do manage to get pregnant soon I could be very close to my due date/have a new born... which doesn't sound like my idea of fun!

Oh that was kind of him, eh! Hope you feel better soon. It's rubbish not being 100% isn't it! X

Ooh yeah we can pretend we’re not going to test early together 😂
Thats super organised looking at next year already. Does make it difficult to plan just in case doesn’t it 🙈 Be good to have a holiday to look forward to though 😊 X
