Anyone else 4 DPO ish and due AF in a couple of weeks?

[thinkythonk]

Hi everyone

Long time lurker here, I love reading all the conception threads!

I think I am 4 DPO and feel so nervous waiting for AF due on 18th May. Cycle 1 so I know its totally ridiculous and unlikely I will get BFP.

I think part of the reason I feel nervous is I'm not sure if we even managed to DTD at the right time. I've been using ovia to track my periods for a few months and then tried to use OPK's on my fertile week but wasn't very successful! Most of them were negative and then I had 2 which had very very faint lines. And then the day after the faint lines it was negative again! We had DTD 4 days in a row by the time the faint line came around but I think we probably should have done it a couple more days but my poor DH was done by then 😂

Now I'm worried I missed ovulation completely and actually ovulated in the last couple of days. Since Monday I've been having mild cramps but never usually feel this. However I know I'm looking out for it!

Why can't I just chill out and see how things go?! It's torture and I've hardly begun! Anyone in the same boat?

Evening,

I'm in a similar boat too. I think I am due to ovulate tomorrow but unsure.
My app first told me I was due to ovulate on Monday so DTD Fri and Sat, then it say I ovulated Tuesday as had a higher temp, then this morning temps was back to normal so now saying I am due to ovulate tomorrow.

Today I have had lots of EWCM so we DTD.
Digital OPK still has flashing Smile (11th day of it) and Tesco OPK are negative. I haven't a bloody clue what's happening.

Period due around 22nd May so not long after you, So here if you need a buddy

I'm pretty new to Mumsnet too x

Hi @joanneT88 it's so confusing isn't it!! What cycle are you on?

Sounds like you've covered all bases regardless of when you ovulated. I really wish I had continued to DTD. You should deffo try do it again tonight 😂

I've just ordered a first response early result test which will be here Saturday...I know it will just add to the torture. I think the not knowing is the worst bit. I wish I could just know straight away so I could shrug it off and move on to next month. x

We are only on Cycle one.

We had a MC last May and tried again last Oct but was not successful so I had surgery in March this year for my endo and now trying again.

Just so confused as whenever I e done the OPK in the past I get a few flashing smiles then a static. Think I'm going to stop them as they stress me out. Will just temp and watch out for EWCM.

It's frustrating isn't it. How close to O did you DTD? X

Me me me!!❤️

I am on my first normal since my miscarriage, so trying hard not to get mine or my partners hopes up

@thinkythonk my period is due the same day as yours!!

I think I ovulated on Saturday 4th/sunday 5th, and we DTD on the Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday night. Should have done it on Sunday too but couldn't face it (and was a bit sore tmi sorry) think next month we might do every other day.

But I could have totally got it wrong and there is a good chance I ovulated between Sunday and now! And we haven't DTD since then either!

Hi @charliiiii 😊 eeee when are you going to test? I won't lie I definately can't wait until the 18th. I just want to know it's a BFN and crack on with next month!

Sorry to hear you have both had miscarriages ❤️❤️

I think I might try temping, have you found that better than OPK's? They stress me out as well and my DH gets stressed and feels pressure when he knows I'm doing them.

Hey all,

I find temping so easy and its free once the thermometer is bought.

It has always been accurate with me and you do get to know your cycles well I think. I will stick to just temping next month.

When do you think you will test? X

I've already been peeing on cheepies, I know it's RIDICULOUS so I'm stepping away and not going to touch them (well, try) for as long as possible. It's so hard !!!!

Hahaha have you!! Oh my goodness that makes me want to do it more!!

The frer says 6 days before missed period so does that make it Sunday I can test? But if the test arrives Saturday I'm not sure I can hold out. I do have loads of the cheapy ones but I'm thinking it's too early for those. How many days PO are you @charliiiii? When is your BFP due @joanneT88?

Even waiting until Sunday that's only 7 DPO and that's if I ovulated when I think 😩

Sorry just seen you said 22nd May @joanneT88!

Morning, I think it's the 22nd to 24th but all depends now when I ovulate. My app says today and my temps are still below coverline so just watching and waiting.

Because I had surgery in March I'm not sure if my cycle is the same as it was before or if it's altered it so this is kind of a bit of an up in the air month.

Just tray when you feel ready no right or wrong x
