Anyone else 3DPO?

[LolaJean]

Currently 3DPO I believe, mild cramping and twinges but I think it's just progesterone rising but so difficult to not symptom-spot! 🫶🏻 anyone else in the same boat? Xx

@LolaJean this was me! Every little thing I'm like is this possible pregnancy or just pre period symptoms 🤣😭 currently 8 days po and resisting the urge to test! 😭😂

Honestly I'm thinking just about this, nothing else. I am 7 DPO and tested this morning. Negative. OF COURSE it's negative what was I thinking? 🤣Achy breasts and back on and off. I am logging my symptoms so that if aunty Flo makes a visit later I'll have the log next month. Not sure what else to do really.

I’m 3DPO today - no symptoms. I can’t even remember if I had early symptoms with my dc. 😬 before a test I mean. Definitely had them after 😂
I am not good at waiting though and hate the limbo of TWW. When are you planning on testing @LolaJean?

@BeNavyLionthat makes sense. I did this last month 😂 but it’s a different time already. Are you testing every day? Or plan to leave it a few days?

Could I have ovulated sooner than I thought? I don't know if see lines? @Bas27 @BeNavyLion

Definitely very faibt lines on top and bottom 9bes. Fingers crossed 🤞

I'll probably test every day haha 🤣

I hope so! Tested again today and not sure if I see a faint line to the left (with my afternoon urine)? Not sure again 🙈

Thought I'd update you all - another negative. I'm now 8DPO. I've seen some people get a positive at 9 DPO on some forums. Honestly driving myself insane 🤣 all symptoms are gone except for some cramps this morning 😅

How are you all keeping sane in this TWW?

@LolaJeanits hard to tell from the image. How many DPO do you think you are now? Fingers crossed you get BFP this month 🤞

@BeNavyLionI think tomorrow is the first day you might feasibly have a chance of seeing a positive from what I understand!
im keeping mega busy. Maybe too busy 😅 trying not to think about it, and if I do think about it, coming on here. Reading the chats.
I am going to try and test on Monday, when I’ll be 9DPO. 😬

I think next month (if not pregnant) I'll have to plan this TWW better. Maybe some face masks, watch pride and prejudice, etc.
Honestly symptoms are nothing right now. I read on the Flo app that the earliest you can get aching breasts is a few days after conception, and my friend said she knew before she took a test because her breasts hurt so bad, so I'm starting to lose hope.
The only bit of hope I have left hangs in the fact that my discharge doesn't seem like it usually does at this time of the month. It's not very different; the consistency is the same.
But it's the smell.
Usually it has a strange smell to it in the luteal phase, but this time, nothing. The thing is I've never tracked where in the luteal phase this usually happens so it could still come, but it's my only smidgen of hope so I'm holding onto it with all my might 🤣

How are you all doing symptom wise?

@BeNavyLionthat actually sounds amazing. I think I may have to order some for this weekend! I will do my first test at 9dpo on Monday.
so far - I don’t know if just imagining things but I think my sense of smell has changed. That’s it. I googled if it could happen before implantation (I don’t think it’s likely that this has happened yet) and it seems to think it’s possible 🤷🏻‍♀️ otherwise nothing.

@Bas27 yeah good idea. I'm kinda testing every day more as an experiment at this stage - negative again last night. I'll take one today but I'm fully dehydrated so can't take one now. But that first test really disappointed me (even though I knew it was impossible).

I've heard that your taste and smell can change, last week I smelled smoke everywhere even when there was none, so maybe there's something to it!

Last night I got home from my travels and my lower back was aching. Like really bad. And there was an ache on my left side to go with it. It felt different from the usual 'pulled my back when carrying suitcase' pain.

Ive also noticed that I feel happy and beautiful - that NEVER happens in the luteal phase for me. I usually get anxious, bloated, and antisocial - it's almost like I'm feeling a little too good it's suspicious 😝

I’m exhausted today. Really hoping I should rad something into this and that it’s not just shit! How is everyone else doing? @Neansrose@BeNavyLion
Any update @LolaJean?

@Bas27that could be something! 🙂 I have zero symptoms (well I'm getting some, on and off, but they are disappearing so putting it down to normal cycle), negative test, and 11dpo. At this point I'm thinking that any chances are over. Feel like if I was pregnant I would test positive by now, at least something akin to an evap line. But it's negative as negative can be. Unless I got my ovulation day wrong, which is possible (although if I did our chances would be smaller as the last time we DTD was the day after)

I've unfortunately had a chemical this month xxxx

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that @LolaJean❤️

@LolaJeansorry to hear this! 😢 I hope you’ve got support around you!
@BeNavyLionthats tough. I will always say to anyone that you’re not out until AF and I do firmly believe that, but it still doesn’t stop me thinking like this when it comes to my own timings! 😂

Hi all - thought I'd update you all on what's happening - Still no AF but I think I got my ovulation date wrong. Pregnancy test still negative.
Realised I need to do something to help my brain next month, I can't keep this obsession up for up to 12 months or I'll drive myself potty 😅 So far I have: facemasks, a good (and long) book, buying house plants and taking care of them, maybe some relaxing meditation, yoga. Anything else you guys can think of?

@Bas27did you take the test yesterday in the end?

@BeNavyLionYes! I got a faint positive 😬 tested again this morning to a stronger line. I’ll keep testing until I get a dye stealer though for peace of mind.
Do you have any ideas about when you might have ovulated? Ttc is such a head spinner. It’s really important to look after your MH! 🖤
I paint for mine

Wow that's amazing news! I think I ovulated two days later which would put me on DPO12, but even so I should be showing a faint line at least. CD25 today, suspect CD27 is AF day, but can't be sure as it seems to have gotten longer since I came back from holiday oddly (I usually have a 24 day cycle, but was 27 last month). I've just bought some houseplants to make me feel better 😅

I've now added painting to my list :) Will keep updating as I get more ideas. Thought I'd share for anyone who is in the same boat who may come across this thread in the future. Let me know if there's any advice on other things to add 🙂

@BeNavyLionthis is beautiful 🖤

I love these ideas so much 🌷I'll be using them throughout this time after my chemical pregnancy where my body is taking it's time to regulate all over again. Keep us updated! X

@Bas27Hope all is progressing well for you!
