4 days DPO - anyone else in the TWW

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?

@AmigoingcrZy hey no news here yet. aF not due til 29th, so going to hold off til at least next weds to test.
I’ve downloaded some game apps on my phone to try keep me busy in the evenings and my mind off ‘am I pregnant or not’ as it’s driving me mad!

AmigoingcrZy · 19/01/2021 22:00

@kblue1 @EmiGoiko @MsK89 any news ladies? I'm holding onto others stories trying not to go crazy over here. Are you guys testing tomorrow or waiting a few days? I dont think ill test tomorrow. AF not due until Saturday so I'm going to try and wait. Work will keep my busy until then I hope

AmigoingcrZy · 19/01/2021 10:59

@EmiGoiko BFN again for me, 11pdo today too. I have a feeling its also not my month. Just had a big cry with OH about it too. Feeling emotional and still sypmtom spotting even though I'm certain it would show up today if i was. Feel your pain xx

MsK89 · 19/01/2021 10:51

@EmiGoiko it’s just SO hard isn’t it! In my job I have women phone me and tell me every week they are pregnant again, and it eats me up inside a bit each time 💔
Fingers crossed for next month xx

11 dpo and I could cry as the early response test errored out on me. Urg BFN on the cheapie tesco test.

I think I am 5dpo and driving myself insane with thinking ‘what if’ already 🙈 I’ve also had brown spotting the last 4 days now, so I think it’s likely it’s just AF arriving early, as it’s way to early for implantation bleeding.

kblue1 · 19/01/2021 09:12

BFN for me too at 10dpo today x

AmigoingcrZy · 18/01/2021 12:56

10dpo today and still bfn. I think im going mad. Still the same symptoms though. AF not due until Saturday

kblue1 · 18/01/2021 10:37

@TedandTeddy I use the one step ones, cheap, off internet

@EmiGoiko I think they say 9dpo is the average day for implantation so probably a bit early, my fingers are crossed for you x

Fingers crossed for everyone x

AmigoingcrZy · 17/01/2021 17:29

@mooloop @EmiGoiko thanks both. Im driving myself mad with symptom spotting. I just feel pregnant but i might be overthinking it. AF not due til Saturday so got quite a wait yet. 9dpo is still early too you might not be out just yet! Fingers crossed

@mooloop definitely not daft, I hear you on getting invested. If the bleeding has stopped then could be implantation?

@amigoingcrZy so sorry to hear about your MC. 8dpo is early so still a chance

Tested today and BFN (9 dpo)

@AmigoingcrZy so sorry to hear of your MC. You're definitely not out yet if you're only 8DPO, hang in there Smile

Just been to the loo again and (sorry TMI) nothing there when I wiped this time 🤷🏼‍♀️Confused

AmigoingcrZy · 17/01/2021 17:06

@mooloop i felt like AF was due when i got a BFP. That pregnancy ended in MC. 8dpo today and i swear i have symptoms but BFN on tests so far.

mooloop · 17/01/2021 16:42

Hey @Rmd123 - thanks for replying. It was dark brown and I thought implantation spotting should be light pink?

I've had lower backache for days too and just 'feel' like AF is en route. I suppose there's not a lot I can do other than wait it out and see if it does turn into full on AF 👎🏻 what a rollercoaster this is, I know I'm daft being so bothered when we've not been trying for long but you soon get invested don't you!

Rmd123 · 17/01/2021 16:36

@mooloop could it be implantation spotting?

mooloop · 17/01/2021 16:05

Hey guys,

Only 10DPO today and started very light spotting already, now I'm worried my LP is too short and will cause issues with us TTC Sad feeling deflated today.

Hope everybody else is luckier this cycle 💫

Grace185 · 17/01/2021 13:38

@kblue1 thanks for that. I think I’ll wait until next weekend to be sure.

TedandTeddy · 17/01/2021 11:18

Thank you @kblue1, I haven't got any OPK's, would you recommend any in particular?

Good luck to everyone for this cycle Smilex

AmigoingcrZy · 17/01/2021 10:43

@MsK89 no problem. Yeah I've always read mumsnet but never posted anything until today 😊

MsK89 · 17/01/2021 10:40

@AmigoingcrZy thank you for your reply? Very useful! I think I will continue to count it going forward. It’s weird that these are the things you don’t find any info about online. So these groups really help xx

AmigoingcrZy · 17/01/2021 10:37

@MsK89 I also usually spot for a day and count that as CD 1 which puts me on a 28-29 day cycle. My app (Flo) lets me log spotting and it always counts that as day 1 when followed by a heavier bleed. But officially or biologically im not sure what the rule is. Hope this helps.

kblue1 · 17/01/2021 10:34

@EmiGoiko I’ve ordered some tests too, if they come today I will test with you x
