4 days DPO - anyone else in the TWW

EmiGoiko · 12/01/2021 16:36

This is my first cycle of trying to concieve our second child. I'm 4 days DPO and trying not to sympton spot because I know it's too early, but I'm feeling rubbish today and can't help but google every possible pregnancy symptom! Anyone else in the same boat?

@MsK89 yeah really hard. Still no AF but been cramping badly all night (enough to wake me up). Its not officially due until tomorrow but its unusual for me to have cramps so early beforehand. Not sure how or why im still holding onto hope but i am

Hey @AmigoingcrZy sorry to hear that, it’s so bloody tough isn’t it x

AmigoingcrZy · 21/01/2021 14:15

13dpo negative today. Just couldn't wait until Saturday! Got AF like cramps and the "feeling" im going to come on my period so it looks like my mind was playing massive tricks on me this month!

[quote EmiGoiko]@BizSquiz I know it can feel stressful, I won't tell you to relax as I've failed on that front. Have you been charting your temp daily? TBH, I don't know too much about BBT so maybe one of the other girls can help, but what I can tell you is the month I got pregnant with my DD I was BBT charting and I didn't get any rise so I thought I was out. She is two now. 😊

I would carry on trying to BD with your OH as often as possible in case (we tried to do every other day this month from day 7 to 20 - we didn't quite manage but close.... my Husband is exhausted 😅). [/quote]
😂 yeah my partner says we don't need to go for walks anymore because we are getting our exercise 😅
I only started taking my temperature yesterday as i wasn't planning on ordering one - trying to keep it relaxed, then all of a sudden boom it was in my Amazon basket 😶

Ah that's very reassuring to hear to be honest. I do have some dull cramps going on at the mo but my CM is dry I haven't experienced any stretchy / egg CM x

@kblue1 not out until AF comes. That's what I'm telling myself after BFN 11dpo yesterday. I'll update whatever my outcome is on Saturday 🤞

kblue1 · 20/01/2021 13:11

11 dpo and a bfn on ic for me today so think I’m out x

kblue1 · 20/01/2021 13:10

@EmiGoiko that’s great news! So happy for you x

DizSquiz · 20/01/2021 11:46

Hi everyone I hope your all well
Could I join the group? It's my 'ovulation' day today but this is my first month TTC and if I'm honest I'm finding it all confusing and stressful 😞 I don't think I've ovulated as my temperature is normal 🤷🏼‍♀️ baffled

MsK89 · 20/01/2021 11:28

@AmigoingcrZy thank you for your message :)

I really hope this is your month!! Well done for not testing, it’s so tempting isn’t it. Keep us posted xx

AmigoingcrZy · 20/01/2021 10:15

@MsK89 sorry you started AF. Sending you so much luck for future cycles. I refrained from testing this morning. Been having cramps last night and today but still feeling nauseous. Boob sensitivity seems to have mostly gone away though. God knows if im in or out this month. I have this nervous stomach feeling like intense butterflies but not sure if that's genuine nerves for the outcome of my cycle or a possible symptom? Anyway, trying to hang on for AF or Saturday to test despite being tempted this morning. I really dont want to see another negative

MsK89 · 20/01/2021 09:55

@EmiGoiko thank you, you are right there 😃

Sorry to hear it’s not your turn either @Rmd123

Sorry girls, it is so bloody hard. But a new cycle is a new chance. Better in a way than waiting ages till AF.

Rmd123 · 20/01/2021 09:16

So I guess AF decided to make another appearance for me this morning! Had withdrawal bleed from the pill the 21st December, another 4 days period like bleed on the 6th of January and now having one again. The joys of being a woman!

MsK89 · 20/01/2021 09:00

Hey @EmiGoiko I used ovulation sticks, from CD 10 so I think the ovulation date was right according to them. I am under the hospital as I have a septate uterus so I wonder if that’s what’s causing issues.
TTC is so bloody hard 🤯

EmiGoiko · 20/01/2021 08:47

Oh no, sorry @MsK89 although does sound early, could you have miscalculated your ovulation date.

On the plus though at least now your in a new cycle and not long till your fertile window!

MsK89 · 20/01/2021 07:11

That’s really good news @EmiGoiko ❤️ I hope the line continues to get stronger for you

Well done for holding out still @AmigoingcrZy I hope it’s good news for you

I woke up this morning to cramping and some bleeding so looks like it’s just AF turned up early for me. My cycles are so irregular! I only got my peak ovulation last weds though 🤯

AmigoingcrZy · 19/01/2021 22:33

Yeah i read the same @EmiGoiko so waiting until Saturday of AF whichever comes first! Keep me updated with your progress 👍

EmiGoiko · 19/01/2021 22:25

I think bfp on 11 dpo isn't that common and more likely to get it when AF is due (everything i read suggests earliest test should be 12 dpo or better to wait till AF is late). So there is still a good chance yet!

Thank you! Given i am only 11 dpo I will let myself believe it once AF fails to show up. So 🤞 I'll keep you posted.

Baby dust to everyone!

AmigoingcrZy · 19/01/2021 22:15

@MsK89 hope you arent feeling too disheartened. I keep switching between "im not pregnant, get over it" and "i have symptoms i might just be too early" hopefulness.

Massive congratulations @EmiGoiko, hopefully we'll be joining you in that club by next week!!!

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit down. It does get to you doesn't it.

Well I did a test this evening (clearblue early response) and got a super faint positive. 😬😬 Just started with lots of cramping too.

So yay, but also realise at 11dpo it's very early and given very faint I'm not going to get too excited yet. I want to test again in the morning and see if it's positive.
