TWW 4DPO

7DPO and had a BFN this morning even though I know it’s daft to test this early!

The TWW really does suck @BlueberryPoppy123 good luck on your run!

Bfn again at 11dpo and used up my last frer. Think I'll just wait for af and if I'm incredibly lucky and she's not here by Tuesday I'll go out and buy another test.

I've had a sharp stabbing pain in my left side this morning. I've had it before but knew someone else had said about it. I'm only dpo6 though. It went away as fast as it came on though just as I was moving in bed this morning.

I've got a 5k run today I'm doing race for life near the beach today. Hoping it proves to be a nice distraction for me today. This tww sucks

How's everyone else doing?

I'm 12dpo today and around 10dpo I way laying in bed and I had this sharp stabbing pain to the right side of my uterus. Then this morning I've noticed a lot of EWCM. I've read elsewhere that it could be an oestrogen surge before AF so we shall see.

5dpo I had a dream last night it was the 1st and I got up and took a test and it was positive so obviously this morning I woke up and took a test 😂🙈 obviously it was a bfn. It was only after dipping it I realised it actually isn't the 1st today just because it was in my dream. So yea that was a waste of a test oops

10dpo and bfn. Fair to say I'm most likely out :(

Dpo4 today. Still getting a lot of cramping. My breasts are leaking milk in the hot weather 😫 I stopped bfing my 4 year old in February and I worry the milk will stop me falling pregnant although I know lots of people fall pregnant whilst still feeding just worry :(

@Kiwiburgh In another thread I'm in one lady didn't get her bfp until 13dpo so don't rule it out just yet x

First baby I was negative at 8dpo. Got my positive at 15dpo 🥰

9dpo and stark white. 😭
I know there's still time as may still implant today but I can't help feel I'm out.

@katieak @Lovedatforme I use the Premom ones too now, very decent price. Previously I have used clear blue and generic store brand ones, but they were just too expensive lol. I know you can get first response on Amazon, but again super expensive for one or two tests! I think all of the early ones have the same general sensitivity, but I avoid clear blue early because of the blue dye being notorious for evap lines. When I had my BFP with my ectopic I only used a clear blue early the day I expected my period, and a digital to confirm. I might cave and do a FMU tomorrow, as I’ve been going at like 6am around when my partner wakes up for work, and then not actually testing until late morning/early midday so would be on my 3rd or more wee by then. Probably won’t make a difference but who knows! Definitely in the delulu stage of the TWW

@katieak I didn't check lh levels last month and had something like a 37/38 day cycle. I went through about 10 tests 🤦‍♀️ this month I've bulk ordered 25 from Amazon. I'm feeling positive though

@Ksh5460 they do sound like possible reasons to have hope. It's so hard though isn't it! Last cycle every single twinge I was convinced it might mean something but obviously didn't. Our brains get very sensitive don't they! At least you don't have too long to wait now.

I feel ok not testing at the moment because I know at 3DPO there really is no point but when I get to 7 that's when I think it will be hard to resist temptation as it's a bit borderline on whether it might work. Are the super early tests actually worth it? Can see this getting expensive haha!

I’m 4 DPO and promising myself I’ll hold out until at least Saturday…. Will probably test Saturday morning not sure I can go any longer 😂

@BlueberryPoppy123 yes this was my first month tracking, got a peak around lunch time on the 14th so presume I ovulated on the evening of the 14th/morning of the 15th. Flo predicted me to ovulate on the 16th based on a 31 day cycle, so I’m guessing I’ll just be having an earlier AF. I’m on CD27 so just any day now probably 😪 if I don’t get my period by Friday I will be testing again though lol.

it’s so hard isnt it! I always try to wait until at least 8dpo cos ive heard 8-10 is the best for an “early”. Just try and keep yourself distracted if you can x

@Ksh5460 did you track ovulation with opks? I didn't last month and thought my period was due with heavy cramping but I had a really long cycle last month. The cramping similar to what I've had since ovulation this cycle.

Can't believe I'm only 3dpo and already resisting the urge to test 🤦‍♀️ I know it'll be negative as everything I've read says hcg doesn't start being released until the egg attaches to the womb and since that won't happen until day dpo6 or 7 it's pointless. I do think I'm not going to be able to resist testing on day 7 or 8 though 🙈

@katieak @BlueberryPoppy123 @Lovedatforme i try to distract myself with hobbies and exercise. Currently going through a book a day and baking at least one cake/batch of cupcakes a week 🤪

woke up today with some suspicious cramps, not too dissimilar to the ones I get the day before/day of my period starting. But I’m not due for another 5 days so I’m rather confused lol. My cycles aren’t the most regular, going from 29-34 in the last 6 months but with most common 31. Feel nauseous when I stand/do something, and my boobs are sore af. Cramps have now stopped which is bizarre if it PMS as that’s usually constant. If AF is early, I hope it bloody comes soon so I can get this false hope out of my system. Very frustrated with it all and I’m only on cycle 3 🥲 hope everyone is doing ok today

@Lovedatforme yea nighttimes are hard. I'm off work until Thursday though so the days are tough ATM too
