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 heard people say they ovulate twice in a month. And it must be true as there are plenty of non identical twins out there and they can't all be down to assisted conception. Although it's probably a little unlikely it will happen. But I don't really one anything about it as you can probably tell! Ha

And you're a step ahead of me there on the temping thing, I have absolutely no idea about that other than it needs to be done at the same time of day after not moving for 4 hours or something like that??

So, in summary, I have no idea

lod any new opks for today's viewing?
Hope everyone is well!
I'm feeling less positive about getting a + this month. If only our cycles were shorter like other animals so we could get a few tries a month!
achm any news on your dog??

I will take my OPK pic when I'm home - early start and a long drive this morning so I only had time to POAS and make coffee before running out the door.
Spolier alert : it was exactly the same as yesterday.

Why aren't you feeling as chipper today Vap?

lod thanks for the spoiler! I'm so nosey showing friendly concern, and like to know what other people's look like [gropin]

I know it's too early but not feeling pregnant at all, no symptom's, again I know it's too early to know but also now kicking myself for not dtd as often as we should.n I did say to dp yesterday that if we aren't successful this month it is because we didn't try hard enough and we will have to dtd every day in my fertile window next month.....he agreed

Not doing myself and favours reading other mn posts either, it seems to out a downer on me every month. Need to stop doing it! But I'm like an addict always eager for my next fix!

Ha! Gropin was supposed to say

Oh I know, I was reading down the active thread list at tge weekend and getting very maudlin as every second one seemed to be about pregnancy. Plus yesterday some good friends announced they were expecting another baby in October. I'm pleased of course, but last time we all met up she was saying how they couldn't afford another, would have to move, not the right time etc etc while I was saying 'I would love another baby!' it's a bit of a poke in the ribs.

I thought DTD every 2 days was ideal? Don't the swimmers get tired if you do it too often?! I'm going to try every 2 days this weekend/ early next week. Poor DH

It is super depressing reading them! I keep vowing not to do it but can't help myself sometimes!

Bloody pregnant friends! They are everywhere! My pregnant friend - the one I saw in wetherspoons a couple of weeks ago has asked me to rsvp to her wedding invite by this morning. I haven't done it yet. How should I say no? Do I be polite and tell her I can't make it and if so what excuse should I use? Or should I tell her the truth that I'm not going because it's an evening invite and a bit of an insult? Or should I tell her I'm going and call it off on the day?

Ref swimmers- the doc said that dp could do it every day as he has loads of them. I think if you haven't had them counted then every other day is best.

No dog news. The boy dogs weren't up for it so she's going to try again at Christmas! Gives me plenty of time for a head start though!!

Right, not sure how well I'm going to do at waiting this time. I'm already working out when's the earliest I could test! Friday! Although I'm not sure if that's because I want to find out or just because I fancy getting drunk!!
vap I think you should tell her you can't come, but to make yourself feel better tell her your DP has arranged something super exciting but top secret for you and even you don't know what it is!!

Good god. Lovely next door neighbour just invited me round to tell me she's also pregnant. What's going on??

I agree with Achm def tell her before the event and I like the excuse that DH has something planned, then make sure you do go and do something fun together in case she asks!

erm, persinal question but... Has anyone used any of these conception friendly lubricants I keep reading about?!

Tadaaaa! Exciting hey?!

Ha lod yep see what you mean looks very similar

Wow, what a neighbour! Thanks! What on earth did you say? Did you manage to contain your contempt? There are only so many people you can hear about being pregnant until you go totally nuts!

Not used any of those lubricants, however, from what understand pre seed is the best and can be bough from Amazon. I've never bothered as trying to get dp to even dtd when I want is enough of a task without trying to get him to use a lube when he is totally uninterested. We have only ever had bad experiences with them where they really sting. Has anyone else used any of those Durex play ones? Ouch! Burning sensation really interrupts things for us! I can't believe it's only us who found it all too much?

I like the idea of a nice surprise event! I have wanted to do one of these "locked up" things - I'm not sure if that's the name but it's where you get locked in and have to work your way out of a conundrum. I'll tell her it's a surprise to cheer me up because I can't conceive and he accidentally booked it for the weekend of her wedding?

Thanks for the suggestions as I wouldn't have come up with something this good and will also show her she has been a bit of a cow rubbing it in my face!

My email to her

Hi, I'm sorry we can't make it to your wedding. mr vap planned this surprise for me as I've been really down after pretty much 2 years of not being able to get pregnant and he didn't have the date for your wedding and has managed to double book. He has paid for this "surprise" and can't rearrange the date, I'm sorry, I don't know what he has planned yet but it sounds like it should be lots of fun. I hope you have a great time x

If she has any problems with that she isn't a friend!

Reply

Ok thanks for letting me know. It's good to know he's looking after you but not gonna lie this hurts a bit. Can't believe your not going to be at my wedding x

Hmmm, if it hurts, then why was I 2md class guest to the evening do?

Real downer on tonight

I'm feeling really sad about this entire situation.

Why should she make me feel like crap over and over again with her "being accidentally pregnant" and rubbing it in my face when knowing I've been trying for so long. Then I give her a reason why I can't be an evening guest at her wedding and she makes me feel guilty again. mr vap has always told me she isn't a real friend to me and she isn't worth knowing. He won't meet see her and hasn't for the last 3 years, he's now telling me he had her worked out such a long time ago and wouldn't waste his time on her and he doesn't understand why I do.

Very sad tonight. I think I should just de friend her before she does as I don't think I want to see anyone so insensitive especially someone who has known how much I'm hurting. I could understand if she didn't know of our struggles but she knows all about it

Oh vap I'm sorry that's such a tough situation! I would sleep on it for a few days before un friending her though. At least she IS upset about you not going! I think you should start planning your lovely 'surprise'!!

Who would receive that message and only home in on 'im not coming to your evening do' rather than 'I'm having a really tough time'?

Im including myself in this generalisation - Brides can be self centred; pregnant woman can be precious; However the combination of the two seems to have turned your friend into a bit of a dick.

I do agree with Achm - give it a few days and see how you feel but def get planning your surprise. I'll come with you to that puzzle place - I was reading about them a while back, sounds awesome.

I didn't mind the neighbour news TBH, I'm trying to be positive.

Hahaha lod you make me laugh! Being a dick! I totally agree!

Not quite as bothered by it all now she knows we aren't going.

They look great don't they! I've been wanting to go for ages! I think there is one in Manchester which will tie in nicely with a meal at vapiano when it opens should all be around the same time.

Anything going on elsewhere? Any news? Any symptoms? Any poas? My app says 7 days until poas...

Woo Hoo! Breakout Manchester booked for 11th July 6pm! Very excited! Just need to find out about a nice meal out and this "surprise" will be brilliant!!

lod if you're in this part of the world and want to join in let me know, we can add you to the booking?

This will keep me going for a while of excitement now

Sounds good Vap! I didn't know there were ones in Manchester, I wonder if there's one in Birmingham... Hmmm!

Read on the Internet last night that best time to POAOPK is after you've been awake 2-3 hours as apparently your body starts kicking out the 'stuff' (hormone?) when you wake up but it's only properly detectable a few hours later opk fail! But im sure I haven't missed anything important and we are trying to DTD as often as poss anyway so shouldn't make any odds

I'm really scared I won't ovulate after last cycle's fiasco. It's scared me that I might be running out of eggs

They do say you should test a little later - depending on the test - some suggest fmu - I don't seem to have many of these hormones and so struggle to get positives with anything less concentrated than fmu. It's still quite early for you though I thin, I think most people with get a + at about cd13.

I don't this not ovulating is generally because of eggs running out, not at your age anyway, I think it's for other reasons like stress/weight/too much strenuous exercise/THE DREADED DEPO.

Good luck ovulating! I hope you get your +

I'm counting the days until I can test! Monday is 10dpo which I know is early. I will probably test then and after that I will test on Tuesday at 11dpo but then won't be home again or see dp again until the Sunday night....

vap I'm exactly the same!!! Could test on Sat with frer, but apart from tiredness and monster headaches I've got no symptoms at all, not feeling positive!!

Good luck achm let us know when you have tested!
lod have you any more opks to show us?
Cant wait to test! Im impressed I've held off so far! 7dpo and counting....

Some people don't get any signs at all Achm - my friend didn't have a single sign until she missed AF.
How about you Vap? Anything that's made you go 'Hmmm..'?

Sore boobs - but have that all the time
More hungry than normal - but sometimes I just am
Back ache - but was sat funny in the garden last night

Nothing particularly outstanding as have all of these things off and on every month.

Just waiting to test.

I'm hopeful as we did dtd enough I think but who knows?!

OPKs still exactly the same so CBA to go onto the site rather than the app to.post but I promise I will as soon as there's any change!
I've got enough tests to last until Wednesday (cd16) so think I'd best order some more in if I'm going to complete my plan to carry on testing all month.

If I was reading this as an impartial viewer I'd be thinking 'what an obsessive nutcase'. I see it more as a hobby...
