4dpo and going mad

80 replies

Anyone around 4dpo and want to wait out the TWW with me?

Usually I think the first week goes quickly but it is seriously dragging this cycle. Plus I didn’t use OPKs this month so I might only be three dpo!

WFH doesn’t help, I just end up spending far too much time over thinking it, working out when I can test, and looking at line eyes threads on MN.

Sadly I have had another chemical, my second one in a couple of months. Good luck to the rest of you! @Harriet669 white cm has always been a sign for me.

Congratulations on the faint lines! Have they progressed?
I'm 6DPO, had half an hour of lower abdo cramps and some white CM today (sorry it TMI) hoping these are positive signs 🤞🏼

allthingssparkly · 25/05/2022 20:33

5dpo today!

How is everyone?

@Charl881 Did you get your BFP?

@Sawa75 this cycle I hardly touched alcohol in the TWW but I have never tried cutting down coffee, I was going to try it next cycle.

Congrats all the ladies with the positives! I could be 3dpo today. Does anyone change behaviour in the tww? I'm on my fourth coffee, I've had a cold for the last week or so (not ideal timing) and I feel like a nice drink drink on Friday. Obviously wouldn't if i was pregnant but my brain is telling me to stop being silly you prob won't even get a period never mind a bfp

I spoke too soon. Bleeding stopped and got a BFP this morning. Just hoping it’s not another chemical!

5 DPO today, and anyone else had any early symptoms? Just experiencing sore to the touch boobs and light cramping?? I’ve been good this cycle and I haven’t tried testing yet, I’m nervous

SarahShorty · 24/05/2022 14:35

@Newbie2022 amazing! That’s definitely a line. If you test Thursday morning should be a lot stronger.

the line on my test yesterday had disappeared when I checked it this morning. So assuming it was a dodgy evap line or something since all other tests negative. Got more arriving today so I should hopefully know either way today then AF due tomorrow anyway.

OP posts:
Newbie2022 · 24/05/2022 09:03

@Charl881 ok I lied 😂the test I did yesterday was still showing positive this morning so I have been out and bought some strips / cheap tests this morning. The line looks thicker today but I’m not doing any more now I will wait haha.

4dpo and going mad

Oh you haven't got long to go now, good luck @Charl881 the end is in sight 🤞😊🤞

@Newbie2022 ill be testing with another cheapie in the morning and then have more first response tests arriving tomorrow 🙈 If they are negative then I will assume today’s was a dud test so at least the mental anguish will be over by this time tomorrow. You’re much more sensible waiting until Saturday!

@allthingssparkly nearing the end of the TWW thank god! AF due Wednesday - Friday (last two cycles have been off after a chemical). Had what I thought was a positive today on one brand but BFN on all other tests including FRERs. So time will very soon tell.

Curlywurly3 · 23/05/2022 22:03

Hi ladies,

8DPO today, did a test, BFN obvs!

I’m ravenous, boobs starting to hurt, lower backache.. all AF signs for me which is due Friday

I live in hope! 🤞🏻

Newbie2022 · 23/05/2022 22:02

@Charl881 I know. This is our first cycle TTC so I know it may not happen straight away but it’s nice to have a bit of hope 😂period is due Friday so I want to say I’ll hold off until Saturday haha ! I haven’t got any tests in the house so will have to go out and get some - I can only try!
When are you planning on testing?

allthingssparkly · 23/05/2022 21:49

Absolutely @Charl881 😩

Where about's are you in your cycle?

@allthingssparkly ridiculous isn’t it!

I find it’s always like this…

CD 1-3 - disappointment
CD 4-6 - excitement / planning for fertile window
CD 7 - ovulation day - time disappears
week one of TWW - wish away time
week two of TWW - time has never gone so slow

OP posts:
allthingssparkly · 23/05/2022 21:33

3dpo and honestly this tww is driving me insane already 😬 don't want to wish time away or anything but the end of the month couldn't come sooner 🤣 good luck ladies!

@Newbie2022 so frustrating isn’t it. I mean this was exactly why people say to wait until you’re late for AF before testing but I’ll never learn.

when do you think you’ll test again?

OP posts:
Newbie2022 · 23/05/2022 20:13

@Charl881 oh glad I’m not the only one! I did a test as well this morning later on and I have the faintest line 🙈I then did another one after dinner and absolutely nothing so who knows! Going to try and hold off now don’t want to get my hopes up!

4dpo and going mad

Charl881 · 23/05/2022 13:19

I’m driving myself mad. Had a faint line on a clear and simple test this morning but FRER and other internet cheapies are stark white! Line definitely has colour in person but I feel like it shouldn’t be trusted if no other tests are showing even a hint of a line.

I can see it!!!
i tested this morning 7dpo 🤦🏻‍♀️ Because I am an idiot! It was obviously a BFN!
Hope this week goes fast

I had a positive (I think) opk yest morn so the mystery continues for me! Good luck everyone!

@Newbie2022 I’m anywhere between 6 - 8dpo, I didn’t track it this month so just going off signs of ovulation/ previous cycles. It’s so annoying how PMS symptoms are so similar!

@Squishybean welcome! I’ve got a FRER ready for Sunday when I’ll be 8-10dpo and I won’t order more until after that. I have some cheapies that I will use for Tuesday (previously because they worked for me 1 day before AF was due even though that turned into a chemical)
