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?

@DmcinT I'm praying for you to have a healthy baby. It sounds exciting and scary at the same time.

I keep thinking they are false positives or that they won't get darker. This week will be hard and DH is away this week so that makes it harder.

I had a funky taste in my mouth for two days and that's stopped and my smell was more sensitive but now nothing. I do feel super tired, just woke up from a 2 hour nap! I think the anxiousness is also making me queasy.

@bookworm100 yeah it's not out until af comes and it also depends on your luteal cycle. I usually know I'm out at 12/13dpo. I always find these last few days before af comes the most agonising but 🤞🏼 for you!

@TT82 im very scared. I was gonna test tomorrow but I think I may leave it a few days in case it's bfn. How you feeling? Does it still feel like pms symptoms? I'm still hoping af doesn't come for you

@DmcinT such a nice news!! 🥰 all the best at the next scan

TT82 · 16/07/2023 13:20

@bookworm100 in my case if BFN on 13po..then no chance... Like this cycle definitely out though AF due on Wednesday.
But as many would say - till AF comes there's always a small chance 🤞🏻

TT82 · 16/07/2023 13:11

@bunnynbear fully understand! 🙏 all will be good this time ❤️

DmcinT · 16/07/2023 12:13

@bunnynbear everything crossed now for those lines getting darker, will u do a digital then in a day or 2? How are u feeling, any symptoms yet?

im doing ok, just over 9 weeks, had a scan a few days ago & saw the heart beat and everything looked as it should so I’m trying to process that it’s real and let myself get excited about it, finding that hard after the MMC but I’ll get there and please god all will be ok. I’ve another scan now at almost 10 weeks so 🤞🏽❤️

bookworm100 · 16/07/2023 12:04

BFN on 13DPO for me, AF due Wednesday. Do we think it's still possible or unlikely now?

@DmcinT thank you! Still holding my breath until the line gets darker. It's appeared faintly on three tests so 🤞🏼 I may do a FRER tomorrow morning. How you been keeping? How's the symptoms?

Tested last night using other cheap tests but it didn't show up. Tested again this morning on easy@home strip and it's still vvvfl, barely visible. So still being cautious.

@TT82 @UnderstatedElegance oh thank you! I really hope so. It's very faint so im a little anxious and just hoping the hcg builds up. I want to wait until it's slightly darker before doing a digital one in case i miscarry again. 🤞🏼tomorrow it's darker

UnderstatedElegance · 15/07/2023 17:12

@bunnynbear that's definitely a line!!! Congratulations 🥳

TT82 · 15/07/2023 17:06

@bunnynbear they both are! Do a digital!! 🤞🏻

TT82 · 15/07/2023 17:05

@bunnynbear OMG it is positive!!!! ❤️

Guys I need your eyes please. I tested again (as some smells were irritating me) and I think I have a second vvvvfl.

I don't know if it's an indent or a faint positive. It came up in 3-4 mins. It looks more pinkish in real life.

I've attached it by itself and also next to the one k took this morning.

4DPO yet again, are you with me?

@bunnynbear hi, no didn't test as no point, very clear PMS symptoms 😔
Only if I start having at least some hint on pregnancy symptoms might test
Let's hope your AF doesn't arrive! Having no symptoms for AF is also a good sign 🤞🏻

@bookworm100 I'm also 12dpo today but af is due on Thursday. No signs of pregnancy or af for me.

@UnderstatedElegance have my 🤞🏼that af didn't come and wont come this cycle. Whenever I've travelled abroad and it's a long flight and different time zone it's always messed up my cycle but hopefully yours isn't too bad.

@TT82 have you tested again today? Or will you just wait til weds? How you feeling?

I tested this morning and it was bfn. The weird metallic taste was very bad yesterday but this morning I don't have it so think it's gone. My hopes are fading quick now.

How's everyone doing?

@UnderstatedElegance thank you 🙏❤️

UnderstatedElegance · 14/07/2023 21:36

Good luck ladies, 14 dpo here, af due today, not Saturday as I first thought. Absolutely no symptoms. Af was late last month so with the travel down to South America I imagine it will have disrupted my cycle a bit.

@bunnynbear - you still have time on your side for this month so I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

@TT82 wishing you all of the luck for your treatment

@bookworm100 praying af doesn't arrive weds and you get your bfp soon!

TT82 · 14/07/2023 18:32

@bookworm100 oh 🤞🏻for you!!
I am also 11dpo, negative and AF on Wednesday, but like really PMS only, not as usual with pregnancy (even no symptoms was good)

bookworm100 · 14/07/2023 17:12

11DPO and BFN here! AF due on Wednesday so we shall see!

TT82 · 14/07/2023 13:36

@bunnynbear thank you for your support!! 🙏
Ivf is worse than ttc...but cannot waste time..

I am not positive as have all usual PMS, last cycle I didn't have them, though no pregnancy symptoms either. My AF on Wednesday as ovulation was later, but body behaves as if it will come on Sunday..

Oh metal taste is a good sign!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

@TT82 im still hoping you get a bfp. youre not out until af shows. if you do need to do IVF, i hope it goes well, IVF process can be as tiring and emotionally draining as ttc on its own.

im still bfn but i now have a strange taste in my mouth. not sure if its metallic taste but it started last night when i ate strawberries (DH said they tasted fine). things now just taste weird and my mouth just feels funny/off. af is due in 6 days for me.

TT82 · 14/07/2023 11:02

Hi, tested today 11dpo, BFN as expected. I have strong PMS symptoms this cycle. I never was positive after cp before, so was low chance anyway.
My hormones are dropping now before AF, so I am sad but also like exhausted, it is what it is
I will start taking pills for ivf preparation as soon as AF arrives and then in august will have a real test how good those eggs are 😱 Genetic testing etc will take very long but also I need to get something to test which is not given....so might be another cycle straight away..

I will be reading these messages from time to time, so hope to read lots of good news from all ladies here! 🤗

Baby dust to everyone ❤️

Well I caved and tested today (10dpo) and it was bfn. Not surprised as don't have any symptoms at all. I'll test again on Saturday but I don't have any hope that it'll be bfp. Hoping others here are having better luck!

OP posts:
TT82 · 13/07/2023 07:24

Hi all, haven't tested today, decided to wait till 12dpo. I have more period symptoms and only 1 early cheaper test, rest digital which I keep to test after I get positive to monitor as it turns to negative fast in my case.
Good luck to all who is testing these few days! Xx
