Anyone else 4dpo?

[Faybelline]

Today I'm 4 days past ovulation- I think. So that makes me due AF 8th May.

I'm 27, and first month ttc #1.

Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat?

I have two DD (feel a bit greedy wanting a third when i'm already lucky to have these two monkeys)

They do play together lovely though. toddler and bump is tiring though and today it was DD1 that woke up early I sent her back to bed which was all ok. Except when heading back to room the door creaked (the one I told DH to wd40 yesterday!) which woke DD2 up so that was me and both girls up early whilst DH slept

But going 1-2 children is far easier than 0-1, the second just kind of slots in!

Oh you 2 are so lucky already having DC.
I'm so jealous!
I can't wait!
Just went out for a curry, DP wanted to go to a pub on the way back. No chance! It was difficult enough sat there with a diet coke at dinner.

Either give me a bfp or a bottle of prosecco!

It won't be long vap and ha just think of it as training for the 9months+ of not drinking.

Found out today DH away Thursday. So looks like no poas until Friday as I dont think I want to do it without him! I suppose that gives AF a chance to arrive Thursday and save my two tests if they aren't needed this month.

Oh no never! How inconsiderate of your DH You're so good not to bring it forward. All the better to miss a false negative though.

I'm so bone achingly tired these last few days. I'd have been insisting I was DEFO pregnant if I didn't know better even DH is concerned so I must be acting like a total mombie.

Any news? Any weird CM or pains or random tastes of smells?!

Oh and Vap yeah, you have jyst reminded me - the only time I got really pissed off last pregnancy was watching DH enjoy a few drinks on our 'babymoon'. How dare he enjoy his holiday while I was stuck sipping cheap fruit juice with a paper umbrella in it mocktails. It was hard!

I'm having a lot of symptoms still but I still refuse to admit I can be as I don't know. Chances are I am not so I Just don't want to get my hopes up? Boobs killing me, tired and still kind of got ewcm so who knows!

I know I was tired and sore boobs similar time last month. I know the day before AF arrived last month had really bad stomach cramps so I am waiting to see if that happens on Wednesday!

Are you 100% sure you can't be this month? Maybe because if you have relaxed this month it might just of happened?

Argh!
Can't believe I'm only 4dpo!
Hope this week goes quick!
Oh my gosh never you have the most will power! I don't know how you do it!
If I don't get an answer on sat at

Whoops....

If I don't get an answer on sat at 9dpo or sun at 10dpo then I'll be away for most of the week and testing on my own! Don't know how to tell dp over the phone, I'd want to see his face! But also wouldn't be able to hold my tongue!

We went to watch the 3 Queens today, then for lunch/dinner. Lovely day! Later my grandma said "So, when are you going to start a family then" my reply "some day" her reply "well hurry up, times running out!"

Haha!
Thanks!
You can imagine that went down like a lead balloon, stony silence ensued!

I think it's because I want it to happen so much but think it won't. That the longer I put off testing the longer I can have hope? Does that make sense or just make me look like some crazy woman?

That sounds like an awful conversation for you! But she meant well and didn't know and soon you will be having a baby! I think it might be you this month you really do deserve it to be after all this time!

never I understand the waiting thing now! I'm hoping that this month is the month and am starting to think I won't test on sat as it will certainly be negative as it is too early. I'll be so disappointed when I see its negative and it will destroy the party. Really not worth it. Now thinking of just waiting until af is due.
I'm hoping this month we get at least a couple of bfp's!
You sound a hopeful!
I'm determined to be one!
lod may be a lucky one (considering the not really happening this month thing)
And maybe fay will make another appearance....

Hello! So I feel a bit like I'm interrupting, I've just spent the last hour (or three) reading the whole of this feed after searching online for some form of support just like you lot!! I'm on my first cycle ttc, am 10dpo if my free app is to be trusted!?!? Af is due on the 29th. So please tell me if I'm butting in but feel like I know you all a bit! What a lovely group and so so reassuring that others are having the same doubts/ changes of heart from I am to I'm not preg. I know not to be too hopeful first time but am symptom spotting like mad and can't think of anything else!! Thinking if testing tomorrow but should I wait until af no show???

Hi Achm. Of course you are welcome here - the more the merrier. And that goes for anyone else who might be lurking, come and say hello

So what symptoms have you spotted? My golden rule is test at 12 days with a FRER - Only because that's when I got my positive and I can't stand negative tests! What tests are you planning to use?

I suppose there is a sliver of a chance never - we DTD on day 8 then I got that darkish OPK on day 10 but DH somehow managed to damage himself (??) meaning no DTD until he was healed.
But that would mean at least 4 days between DTD and ovulating according to Vap0s specialist who says you ov 2 days after the OPK.

I think I'm just tired from returning to a demanding job and a crazy toddler

achm welcome!
Great to have a new face!
11dpo tomorrow.... Hmmm well I do love to poas....
Not sure, if it had been last month I would have been egging you on but this month I'm having second thoughts.

If you do be sure to share your findings with us!
Lots of ups and downs on here! Or at least from me...
Good luck to you

lod I don't know if I believe the doc saying 2 days after. I'm pretty sure the info you read online that says between 12-24 hrs is more realistic. I'm pretty sure I ovulated 12 hrs after + opk, if all the pains and twinges were anything to go by?

Even if it is correct they do say sperm can live for up to 5 days...

I hope Mr Lod is all healed before next month if you don't get your bfp this month

Hey achm, as vap and lod say your more than welcome here!

As you have read it all im sure you know your one day behind me, I'm waiting until Thursday/possibly Friday now just as rather wait till AF due but if you want to do one early maybe wait till tomorrow when your 12dpo! More likely accurate then. I think you have a much better chance at 12dpo than 11!

Woo vap lets make each other be good and avoid the poas temptation, I told DH via phone with DD2 (facetime actually I showed him the BFP!) however when he's away this time for a night it will only be texts and I don't want to do via texts. I'm sure I will give him updates on if AF has arrived or not though!

lod im sorry that made me laugh! You never know the one month You'd given up hope it might happen. When's AF due. And if not I hope DH is back fighting fit for june!

Oh thankyou! DH is being annoying and I really want to be able to talk about it more!! I'm his DW number 2!! And he already has 3 kids so I'm very lucky to be a step already. But think I've been dying of broodiness for the past 3 years and thankfully we're ready to start ttc now. It is hard though as I'm convinced he's nothing like as excited as I am.
When I hinted that I was feeling rough and queasy he basically said it might just be my mind making things up and I might feel like that for the next year!! I know he's just being realistic and doesn't want me to get my hopes up but I really want my hopes up thank you very much!
Never, yes I spotted that we're very close!! I have woken up more resolved to wait but it will be hard. I want to poas now just to prove to DH that I'm not making things up!
So symptoms so far which might just be my mind playing tricks on me
Sickness, but very mild not actually been sick. I read online that sickness doesn't start til week 6 so not sure about that one?
Wierd taste, but only some foods. But these are things I eat regularly that taste very different.
Constipation tmi sorry but I also get it a bit before AF, this started way too early for it to be that though and much worse!
Dizzy spells, not many but quite bad.
Very sensitive to smells, but that was DSS's feet whilst camping so would have been bad anyway!
No sore boobs but I've never had that with AF so might not happen? Wishful thinking?
What do you think?
I haven't thought which test yet, going to try to wait to see if AF comes as I know I would be gutted with a neg!! Never let's make each other wait!!
Also can't decide whether to test alone or with DH as I think he'll just think it's me overreacting!?

DH Isnt as excited this time about it all - I think he found a new baby extremely tiring (poor lamb!!) and he's concerned how a second baby will add to it.
I keep saying the baby stage only lasts a short time and then we'll get teary eyed over how our babies have grown so suck it up soldier

If there's one thing we've learned on this thread Achm it's that you never can tell symptom spotting galore can lead to nothing or everything. But we will be here for you whatever the outcome!

Oh and DH all mended now thanks

Oh and I always test alone! Obviously it's personal preference but I'd hate DH to be waiting outside the door!

Last time I tested in the morning, got my BFP, burst into tears and went to WH Smith to get DH a mans pregnancy guide thing. The cheeky mare on the desk said 'oooh are you pregnant then?!'
And thats the story of how the nosey woman at WH Smith was the first person to find out I was pregnant not DH

I agree with all lod said. My DH doesn't seem as excited, and think symptom spotting is silly. But then I know as soon as I finally get my BFP (whenever that may be) he will be just as excited as me. I think men just don't get caught up on it all! If you do poas achm just do it when he's in the house but not with him if that makes sense! That way if it's BFP he can be included straight away but not think your crazy before! Like LOD said we've learnt that all symptoms can mean nothing or everything. I think we notice them more because when ttc we are on high alert even though it could just be af.

With dd1 I had symptoms before my missed AF so bad that my DH asked if I was pregnant (We weren't ttc at the time) and he was right.

With DD2 I missed a period but as I had no symptoms at all we both thought not a chance! It was only because I'm so regular I was sure I might be I tested then!

So we shall see. Today I feel fine and no symptoms other than the sore boobs but again they are sometimes pre AF symptoms for me!

Glad he's all mended lod can't be long till you go on holiday now. Very jealous!

Thanks lod, I am lucky that my DH has been through the mill a bit and isn't bothered about how hard it will be (as he's done it three times!) but I think he's concerned about how hard I'll find it so has made us wait til we're really ready! Also the three DSC's are at a good age to help out now!! (All teenagers!)
Oh dear about WHSmith lady!! Think I would have walked out what a rude question!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to test alone though, I just don't want to end up testing with DH more than once really as he won't be as excited as me or as bothered wether it's P or N, because he's so laid back about it all. I can't see him waiting around putside the bathroom door every month so if I tell him I'm testing I want to be pretty sure!

Yes very happy your DH is better lod! When will you be poas?

And Never that's a great idea, I hadn't thought about doing it that way, that would suit us both and like you say I don't have to come across as crazy if it's bfn!!

i think the DP's and DH's don't get too excited and are all very laid back so not to put any extra pressure on. It is frustrating that DP isn't as excited as i am but i know he really wants a DC. I suppose it is out of their hands and if you can't change it why worry about it...

Built in babysitters the achm my parents used to tell my sister when she had to look after us that she was being paid in love!

Oh the can't change anything so no need to worry mentality drives me crazy as that's my husband about everything I know it's for the best and his laid back ways are well matched with my worrying ones but still I think my DH is happy if it takes one month or one year. We want a dog though so I have said if not pregnant by September we are getting a puppy!

Crossed posts there lod so never saw the wh smiths one. What a cheeky woman and I can just imagine you being all up in the air already emotionally! Silly woman.

Well after refusing to symptom spot im all of a sudden hopeful as my boobs are so sore today. The only other time they have ever felt like this was when I was pregnant! This best not be an AF sign as don't want this pain for no gain! Think I'm back to poas Thursday morning. Too impatient.
