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?

It looks like I didn't ovulate this cycle. I thought I was having a surge yesterday but it dropped drastically. Do you guys think I missed it or it didn't happen? I usually have the LH surge on cd16/17. Feel really gutted

@Giles1008 last 3 cycles was cd12, so tomorrow.. but cb test negative and cm not there yet.. But last one was chemical so maybe messed it a bit 🤷🏻‍♀️
Bbt still down too, have you tried monitoring it? It gives me such a good overview and works the best for me, learnt a lot about my cycle

Giles1008 · 30/06/2023 17:27

@TT82 thanks, maybe that’s it when progesterone is rising it’s definitely there. Not painful just achy. When is ovulation due?

I’m sort of guessing I ovulated this month because I didn’t get a positive OPK 🤞🏻🤞🏻 baby dust to us both!

TT82 · 30/06/2023 17:21

@Giles1008 and fingers crossed for this cycle!!!! Baby dust ❤️

I am still waiting for ovulation day... 😒 My mil and husband's cousin with a baby coming to visit us for a month! This Sunday... so better ovulation comes before...

TT82 · 30/06/2023 17:17

@Giles1008 hi, I think I have it, but it can be that I am listening too much and know almost each day what is happening 🤦🏻‍♀️ so it can be my imagination.
I have it like 3-4 dpo when I think my progesterone is up, also on top i start taking additional progesterone on that day, so can be related. That's when my bbt really goes up.
Also I really feel when progesterone drops down around week before due AF..

Giles1008 · 30/06/2023 17:07

Does anyone get a dull ache after ovulation? I’ve noticed it the last few cycles and don’t ever remember having it before. Not a pregnancy symptom unfortunately too early this cycle.

4/5 DPO today, nice busy weekend to keep me occupied and stop me testing too early

TT82 · 28/06/2023 16:41

@bunnynbear I know what you mean about the weather 🙈😅
We definitely cannot complain with DH we don't have enough "together time" at our age 😆 keeps the middle age crisis under control

bunnynbear · 28/06/2023 16:21

@Giles1008 yeah it sounds like it may have peaked Saturday evening. Have my 🤞🏼for you too! How you feeling this time round?

OP posts:
bunnynbear · 28/06/2023 16:20

@TT82 we should be around the same time! I usually ovulate around cd15/cd16 and I think this cycle it's gonna be Thursday. 🤞🏼for this month. We're finding it difficult trying to do it every other day, this weather is exhausting!

OP posts:
Giles1008 · 28/06/2023 16:12

I’m in the TWW @bunnynbear think I’m 2DPO. I never got a positive test, it was Saturday night I think and I was out all day. A high in the morning Saturday, high Sunday morning and then down to nothing since.

Sore boobs and change in CM so I’m pretty sure I ovulated 🤞🏻I’ll be 10 DPO Thursday next week and will test from then 🤣

TT82 · 28/06/2023 12:15

@bunnynbear yes, me 🙈 I am cd9, expecting ovulation cd12. But every my pregnancy (or positive) were without using tests! I am thinking that I am ovulating before the test shows peak... or I am stressing too much and they don't work 🤷🏻‍♀️ So best method for me at least every other day and then 11-13 more 😅
I also track bbt which will show after if ovulation happened

bunnynbear · 28/06/2023 12:04

hows everyone doing? my static smiley on CB a few days ago was a false result. looks like I'll be ovulating in the next 1-2 days (got the flashy smiley) and then back to TWW! anyone else on tww or soon tobe?

DmcinT · 27/06/2023 09:35

@Giles1008 oh that sounds like u have covered it well, we’d always do every other day around FW (every day feels a bit of a chore tbh😅) so everything crossed for u🤞🏽 Are u 1 dpo now?

yeah I’m deff taking advantage of being on holiday and napping every day, I’d awful nausea on my last pregnancy, it really affected my day to day but I was never physically sick. I’m hoping I don’t get that level of nausea this time round 🤞🏽 I’m only 6+ 1/2 today though so a bit to go yet until 12 weeks

Giles1008 · 27/06/2023 07:51

Never got to DTD, our son got in bed 😩 but we didn’t it ovulation day and 2 days before if Sunday was ovulation. Abit annoyed I was hoping to give ourselves more of a chance this month but we’ve been so busy I just forgot 😂

Rest up those first few weeks are so draining! With my LO I never had nausea but was actually sick all the time, not sure what’s worse.

DmcinT · 27/06/2023 07:27

@Giles1008 yeah it’s prob highly likely you peaked in those hrs, hope you had chance to dtd around then too🤞🏽💃🏼

im good, we’re on holiday and all I’m doing is sleeping 😅 poor DH is all eager to explore and I’m like a sloth. Need to keep eating to keep nausea at bay too but apart from that all good 😂

Giles1008 · 26/06/2023 22:17

@DmcinT I was thinking that, maybe we should DTD tonight just in case CD17 was Saturday so I may have ovulated yesterday?

We were out all day and a bit tipsy when we got home so I never tested. But my boobs are killing so I feel like I’m in luteal phase.

How are you? How you feeling?

DmcinT · 26/06/2023 21:48

@Giles1008 do you not think you would have peaked on CD 17 between 12 and 9pm? My peak comes like this and if I didn’t test for a few hrs like that I’d deff miss it

Giles1008 · 26/06/2023 18:59

I’m feeling a bit frustrated, I don’t seem to have peaked this month. Not sure maybe if I might peak later? But it’s CD18 seems late, I suppose I sometimes have 34 day cycles so could be up until CD20?

Maybe I’m just convincing myself 😩

4DPO yet again, are you with me?
SimplyChic · 26/06/2023 09:03

12dpo today... BFN this morning on cheap test 😫, uterus area still feels sensitive and cramps have slowed but still mildly there. Feeling like AF will strike at any moment as I thought I'd have something by now 😪 will just wait a few days I guess.

DHB · 25/06/2023 19:41

@bunnynbear Thank you lovely! I’m routing for you all still though and I’ll be joining in again this month, as I don’t want to leave it really!

bunnynbear · 25/06/2023 18:16

@DHB I'm so sorry to hear that. Going to the EPU is never easy. I hope you can take time for yourself and remember we're all here for you.

@SimplyChic you still got a chance. Wait a few days and test again, for me it's usually around 12dpo that I know when I'm out. I have 🤞🏼 for you.

So this morning LH was super low and CB came back negative. I just thought I'd check it this eve (I don't usually test twice until flashy smiley) and I have a solid smiley (never even got the flashy smiley) and my LH have started to increase. We haven't dtd the last few days cos we've been super tired but also today is suppose to be the start of my fertile window and ovulation is suppose to be this upcoming Thursday. It feels like I've missed the chance for this window and slightly panicking. It's never come this early before. I feel like my body's cycle has messed up since the miscarriage

@TT82 Thank you 💗 It’s so so crap isn’t it and the wait for a scan is a week too, which is the worst wait even though I absolutely know the outcome xx

TT82 · 25/06/2023 10:32

@DHB I am sooo sorry for you and sad!!! 😔 I do know what you are going through..very difficult but as soon as hormones down you will feel a bit better...Lots of hugs from me ❤️

SimplyChic · 25/06/2023 10:08

My update is now at 11dpo and yesterday had two AF like cramping episodes for about an hour each and woke up with one this morning. No AF yet though just creamy CM for days.

DH disappointed as he thinks no baby now as I mentioned the cramps, but as I had no PMS last time I feel like it's going to be worse this time hence the early cramps. Although they normally start about the same time as AF maybe a few hours prior 🤷🏻‍♀️ I did a test with easy@home at 9dpo and was BFN so I don't even want to retest now with the cramping 😂

DHB · 25/06/2023 10:04

Hope everyone is doing ok and enjoying BD in this god awful heat 😂

Well, update from me, I have a scan at EPU on Monday as I started spotting last Monday and as heavily bleeding with some on and off period type cramps Tuesday and Wednesday. My symptoms of sore nipples completely disappeared around 2 days prior to the spotting and my HCG tests are slowly getting lighter, so I’m 99% certain I’ve miscarried very early :( I’ve stopped bleeding /spotting and we DTD this morning as we just needed that closeness and intimacy after a really awful week, plus we’re eager to try again in the hope of catching any ovulation that might creep up on us over the next week or so x
