4DPO yet again, are you with me?

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?

@Giles1008 honestly I'm bad...sometimes I start from 7dpo. Fully aware the chances are miniscule but I saw a line at 8dpo with my son so I'm thinking it will show early. Some days I test twice a day till about 12dpo. 🙈

@VixFromThe6ix when do you usually test from? I usually only do one a day but do usually cave at 9DPO.

What does everyone do about drinking? I’ve just opened a beer and then realised implantation is most likely tomorrow or Sunday.

4dpo today cycle 4 ttc#2. I'm at peace till it's time to test, then I retest over and over even once it's a negative ahaha
First time around I was a mess so I'm trying to keep it together this time around.

@DHB sorry for your loss too, mine was in April. last time i was stressing every DPO day so this time I'm trying not think about it. It's easier now as I know implantation wont have occurred but its going to creep up on me. I'm waiting to next Saturday to test but I may start get an itchy on Thursday (10DPO). I'm thinking of not testing OPK next month if its BFN this month.

@Giles1008 i use both apps too. they have my ovulation a day apart but both say im 4DPO so i get confused by them too. I had no symptoms during my pregnancy but for me that was the "cautious" sign i may be pregnant as usually I get bad cramps a week before my period.

@foulplay welcome! Since TTC, I have been eating whatever i want. my sisters (all mothers) told me when you're TTC, make the most of what you're able to eat because once you're pregnant, that'll change very quickly.

what do you find works for keeping your mind off the TWW/stress?

5 dpo here. Feeling a bit sicky, which is probably because I've just eaten a big slab of carrot cake and it's too early for symptoms.

Hey can I join?

I’m 6/7DPO, Premom says 7 and Flo says 6. This is our 3rd month TTC #2. The first month I had terrible pains during the TWW but this month nothing.

We have a DS who is 2.5, I’ve just been reading the threads I was on when I had my last successful pregnancy and I had no symptoms then so hoping it’s a good sign 🤞🏻. Going to try wait until Tuesday to test - but already thinking about it all the time, it’s so hard!

Hello! Sorry for your loss :(

I had a MC in March so this is technically cycle 3 since then, I haven’t tested OPKs this month as I was getting stressed with it all last.

Had horrible period type pains around CD19 so I’m assuming I ovulated around there and would be approx 5DPO today (Premom also predicted ovulation would be CD19).

I’m trying not to stress and only have one early test in the house so I’m saving it until next Friday hopefully!
