4 Dpo and going mad

Anyone else in the tww ? Currently 4dpo and trying all the best to keep my head on and go about my day but I swear this is always the worst part of the month. Anyone else like that and waiting out these dreaded two weeks again?

If so can talk to me tell me about yourself. Are you planning to test ? I haven't decided if I'll test this month or wait it out but the waiting is already killing me.

@sunnyside257 impressive self control! It is my hubby's birthday on 27th so I had thought I would see if I could wait to test on Sunday and hopefully 🤞🏼 It would be a wonderful birthday present for him!

sunnyside257 · 20/09/2021 13:01

@MaybeBabyAli - Oh yay! I'm going to wait and test on the day AF is due. I usually end up testing stupidly early but I'm trying to have some self control this month 😂😂

MaybeBabyAli · 20/09/2021 12:49

Can I join in? AF is due for me on 27th, same as you @sunnyside257! I have caved and tested. I got BFNs - of course! Trying to hold out longer to test again but it’s so hard when the packs are sat right there… I feel like I had more symptoms a week ago than I do now (bloating/cramps/snotty nose/exhaustion) so I’m not sure it is going the right way for me but I know it’s still early.

Hi everyone,

Mind if I join??

I'm 1DPO today. Me and my DP experienced an early loss at the start of the year and since then haven't been trying as we decided to take a break, but we've not been preventing either.

I usually ovulate know around CD15 but this cycle it was day 13, as I got my peak OPK CD12. It's taken me slightly by surprise so now my heads in a bit of spin as we DTD CD11 and 12 (prior to the peak). Haven't told my DP as I'm not sure how he'd react.

Now it's just a waiting game and hoping the next two weeks fly by Confused

How are you ladies surviving this TWW? Ita torturing me already 😭

weathervane123 · 20/09/2021 09:34

Hi everyone! Hope it's okay to join. I'm 5dpo today. Feeling more anxious than usual as did not have sex on my O day just the day before. Had losses in April (mmc), June (ectopic) and August (mc) just gone. Sad Also think I may've had an ovarian cyst rupture the day after O. TTC has been a misery so far for me! I'm 38 ttc #1.

No idea when AF due thanks to recent losses, so will try to hold off testing until 10 or 11 dpo. As for symptoms, ovulation caused sore nips but they're easing off now. No idea if this means my progesterone is going down ready for AF.

sunnyside257 · 19/09/2021 20:59

I'm 4dpo. Have had cramping/twinges low down on left side.

AF due on 27th. This TWW always kills me.

Wishfulthinking2021 · 19/09/2021 20:20

I'm the same, I've been eating everything in sight. So I'm putting my bloating an cramps down to that 🤦‍♀️🤣 but the mind does like to play tricks. Sorry for tmi, but I also have heavy creamy discharge am can't remember if this is normal or not.

Firsttimetrier · 19/09/2021 20:15

@Wishfulthinking2021 I would love to think that I’m having symptoms but I actually think it’s down to a weekend at the in law’s. They love to feed us, so I’m putting my bloating down to that. My boobs have remained so sore which is unusual.

Going to test next Sunday as AF is due the Wednesday. I’m thinking, and prepared, for it to be a BFN

Selena33 · 19/09/2021 19:31

Welcome @Wishfulthinking2021!

I am experiencing 0 symptoms at the moment. With my two pregnancies, 1st one I got really sore boobs very early on and second one I had no symptoms. Last month I had twitches, dizziness etc and I was convinced I was pregnant and got really disappointed when I got my bfn. So I won’t personally trust symptoms anymore but as you say everyone is different :)

Wishfulthinking2021 · 19/09/2021 19:09

Is anyone experiencing any symptoms? I know it's mega early really, but I also know everyone is different.

Wishfulthinking2021 · 19/09/2021 18:53

I hope we can! Thank you

Danani · 19/09/2021 15:33

Hey, so I'm 10 DPO today. Have been resisting the urge to test so far, and had promised myself I'll test on Tue at 12 DPO. AF due on Fri. Fingers crossed for us all!

@Danani hey 👋 and I know I should t have done it to myself 5dpo is way to early. Where are you in your cycle ? Are you waiting to test too.

Hoping we get some bfp on here too.

Danani · 19/09/2021 13:43

Hi all, just wanted to reiterate the message that 5 DPO is extremely early and your BFNs mean nothing!
Implantation usually takes place between 6-10 DPO and only after it, you get those PG hormones that a test can detect.

You may have BFN today, and although extremely deflating, it really means nothing. I look forward to later next week, I'm watching this thread and I'm sure there will be plenty of BFPs when you're into 10-12+ DPO. Good luck to you all!!!

@Selena33 that's great. I'm glad we can have a few others to talk to in this time. Always nice to speak with others going through the same as I am. My friends don't understand as they all have kids.
