4DPO yet again, are you with me?

357 replies

Today's 4DPO. This is second TWW after a miscarriage and that was the first time I was pregnant :(

First TWW after the miscarriage was very hard and very emotional for me, i was symptom spotting every little thing. This time around I feel calmer but its still 4DPO and my brain knows its too early for HcG to be there but not sure how I will be from 10DPO onwards.

Who else here is going through the TWW and how are you coping?

@bunnynbear @foulplay sorry to see af has arrived, sending love for the next cycle 🙏🏽🤞🏽✨👶🏼

Plumbibii · 14/06/2023 20:41

Good luck for the next cycle @bunnynbear @foulplay
Af due tomorrow. Have been having normal period pains. Hoping Af comes on time, really can't deal with anymore of this cycle🫠

@bunnynbear Hi everyone, yeah did a test - BFN as expected...as no symptoms at all. Only have sensitive breasts like PMS and that's it. AF due on Sunday-Monday, kind of still time but I am sure not this cycle.
I will do a final check tomorrow at 12dpo as need to stop progesterone, but after that's it

Good luck to everyone and hope this/next cycle will be a successful one!

foulplay · 14/06/2023 09:05

Morning @bunnynbear, I tested yesterday again and bfn. Pretty sure af will arrive today as I've had some spotting. Just in time for my flight tomorrow 🤦‍♀️

Morning everyone! How's everyone doing?

Well plot twist for me. My cycles are like clockwork and af always comes on the day expected around the same time each cycle. Except for yesterday. I am now 16dpo, 1 day late, no af but still bfn. No signs of af but having mild symptoms. I feel like she will come with a vengeance: me and dh trying so hard not to get our hopes up.

Anyone else testing today?

Good luck with the testing today @Plumbibii.
I've no tests left in the house :(
No AF this morning, although I've got cramps. I've got a Longhaul flight on Thursday, so I'm wishing AF to hurry up now.
How's everyone else fairing?

Thank you. I tested bfn on morning wee on strip. I am not willing to spend money on expensive tests as i don't really have any diff symptoms other than normal PMS. Af due on Thursday. Looking forward to next cycle. Wish you all the best for your flight and hopefully AF doesn't show up.
@bunnynbear fingers crossed AF doesn't show up. X

@foulplay i know the feeling! still testing bfn. AF is due today, usually would've started by now (i usually start cramping in the middle of the night and by 5/6am af is here!). got no crampings but there are other signs af is coming (but mild). so it is very much a waiting game

@DHB similar to u around mid feb🥰❤️ Just praying all will be ok now. Will u have an early scan do u think?

DHB · 12/06/2023 18:47

@DmcinT Tell me about it! I don’t have any symptoms and don’t feel pregnant at all! I’ve calculated it around mid Feb! How about you? X

Plumbibii · 12/06/2023 18:09

Got bfn on strip at 11 dpo today, but it wasn't morning wee. Will try again tomo in the morning, if bfn then i will give up hope for this month. Feel so deflated.

TT82 · 12/06/2023 12:28

@bunnynbear due this Sunday..so till Thursday (12dpo)I can have tiny tiny hope 🙈

Morning everyone!

@foulplay I'm in the same boat as you. Still testing bfn 14dpo but af is due tomorrow. Just waiting for it to come and getting the signs it's coming.

@Giles1008 I'm already thinking of fertile window and maybe going away for a few days just so it doesn't feel like a chore!

@ManchesterRoad I take folic acid and pregnacare pre-conception tablets. Everyone keeps telling me folic acid is the most important thing to take.

@TT82 when is af due? I usually count myself out at 12 dpo. I'd say wait a few days you still have some hope

How's everyone doing

OP posts:
TT82 · 12/06/2023 10:32

@ManchesterRoad I am taking big dose of Q10 (600mg) due to age.. and Fertility Blend. Last one is good for me as it has Chasteberry, even without fertility but for hormones 🙈
This now for 6 months...so hopefully during IVF in august they will still manage to find good eggs
Yeah I am out as no symptoms, did test - BFN, though I know only 8dpo..but usually I would have at least running to the toilet during night. So I am out I think...

Good luck to everyone this or next cycle ❤️

foulplay · 12/06/2023 10:26

@ManchesterRoad I bought some CoQ-10 yesterday, I've not heard of maca root (off to look it up!) I just take a general vitamin at the moment.
I took an online cheapy today which came back as negative, so I'm pretty sure I'm out of the game for this month now.

DmcinT · 12/06/2023 10:02

Thanks @foulplay and @Giles1008 I also did clear blue digital this morning and it’s showing me at 4 weeks which I should be today so that’s a bit of relieve. I’m nervous of twins or triplets again but hcg would prob have shown me at 5-6 weeks if it was so 🤞🏽

@DHB thanks so much 🥰 it’s a bit surreal. How are u feeling and what is your due date? Xx

DHB · 12/06/2023 09:58

Congratulations @DmcinT! They’re great lines and you’re not far behind me either! 🥰

ManchesterRoad · 12/06/2023 09:40

What supplements does everyone take? I’m just on pure folic acid but wondering if I should be taking anything else? I keep seeing Maca root and Coq-10 pop up

Giles1008 · 12/06/2023 09:36

Congratulations @DmcinT your lines are getting much darker.

I switched off this weekend, hope everyone is OK. CD4 today, who is in for the next cycle? It’s a very hot month to be DTD all the time 🥵

Anyone doing anything differently?

foulplay · 12/06/2023 06:22

Ahh I'm sorry to hear af arrived @BabyUxX sending you lots of kindness your way. I hope you're okay.

@bunnynbear I caved and tested 2 days ago bfn for me too. Af can arrive from yesterday to 31st so it's just a waiting game now.

@DmcinT the line is definitely getting darker :)

bunnynbear · 11/06/2023 21:27

@DmcinT yes it does look like a darker line! That's a great start! It's such an exciting time for you.

Yeah I know but at the same time, last cycle at 12/13 dpo I also had no symptoms and bfn and this time it feels no different. But everyone else here who are getting bfp, reminds me there's still hope in future cycles

DmcinT · 11/06/2023 20:50

@bunnynbear oh I’m so sorry ur feeling low, I felt like this a few days last week so u never know, as they say your never out until af arrives so 🤞🏽🤞🏽

im feeling good, very swollen lower tummy so I feel like I look 4 months already.

tests showing much darker line so that’s given me peace of mind

4DPO yet again, are you with me?

@BabyUxX sorry to hear that. How you feeling?

I'm still testing bfn but af is due on Tuesday. I think it's now just a waiting game for af to start.

I'm disappointed and it does hurt but trying to put a brave face on and focus on the next cycle as another chance.

How are you doing @DmcinT and everyone else? How was it yesterday?

DmcinT · 11/06/2023 20:17

@BabyUxX so sorry to see af showed, hope ur feeling ok❤️ Sending baby dust for this next cycle xx

how is everyone feeling today?
