4 days DPO - anyone else in the TWW

[EmiGoiko]

This is my first cycle of trying to concieve our second child. I'm 4 days DPO and trying not to sympton spot because I know it's too early, but I'm feeling rubbish today and can't help but google every possible pregnancy symptom! Anyone else in the same boat?

I think I am 5dpo and driving myself insane with thinking ‘what if’ already 🙈 I’ve also had brown spotting the last 4 days now, so I think it’s likely it’s just AF arriving early, as it’s way to early for implantation bleeding.

11 dpo and I could cry as the early response test errored out on me. Urg BFN on the cheapie tesco test.

Also going insane, I have a feeling It's not going to be my month.

@EmiGoiko it’s just SO hard isn’t it! In my job I have women phone me and tell me every week they are pregnant again, and it eats me up inside a bit each time 💔
Fingers crossed for next month xx

@EmiGoiko BFN again for me, 11pdo today too. I have a feeling its also not my month. Just had a big cry with OH about it too. Feeling emotional and still sypmtom spotting even though I'm certain it would show up today if i was. Feel your pain xx

@kblue1 @EmiGoiko @MsK89 any news ladies? I'm holding onto others stories trying not to go crazy over here. Are you guys testing tomorrow or waiting a few days? I dont think ill test tomorrow. AF not due until Saturday so I'm going to try and wait. Work will keep my busy until then I hope

@AmigoingcrZy hey no news here yet. aF not due til 29th, so going to hold off til at least next weds to test.
I’ve downloaded some game apps on my phone to try keep me busy in the evenings and my mind off ‘am I pregnant or not’ as it’s driving me mad!

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit down. It does get to you doesn't it.

Well I did a test this evening (clearblue early response) and got a super faint positive. 😬😬 Just started with lots of cramping too.

So yay, but also realise at 11dpo it's very early and given very faint I'm not going to get too excited yet. I want to test again in the morning and see if it's positive.

Games sound like a great idea, distraction definitely needed!

@MsK89 hope you arent feeling too disheartened. I keep switching between "im not pregnant, get over it" and "i have symptoms i might just be too early" hopefulness.

Massive congratulations @EmiGoiko, hopefully we'll be joining you in that club by next week!!!

Thank you! Given i am only 11 dpo I will let myself believe it once AF fails to show up. So 🤞 I'll keep you posted.

Baby dust to everyone!

I think bfp on 11 dpo isn't that common and more likely to get it when AF is due (everything i read suggests earliest test should be 12 dpo or better to wait till AF is late). So there is still a good chance yet!

Yeah i read the same @EmiGoiko so waiting until Saturday of AF whichever comes first! Keep me updated with your progress 👍

That’s really good news @EmiGoiko ❤️ I hope the line continues to get stronger for you

Well done for holding out still @AmigoingcrZy I hope it’s good news for you

I woke up this morning to cramping and some bleeding so looks like it’s just AF turned up early for me. My cycles are so irregular! I only got my peak ovulation last weds though 🤯

Oh no, sorry @MsK89 although does sound early, could you have miscalculated your ovulation date.

On the plus though at least now your in a new cycle and not long till your fertile window!

Hey @EmiGoiko I used ovulation sticks, from CD 10 so I think the ovulation date was right according to them. I am under the hospital as I have a septate uterus so I wonder if that’s what’s causing issues.
TTC is so bloody hard 🤯

So I guess AF decided to make another appearance for me this morning! Had withdrawal bleed from the pill the 21st December, another 4 days period like bleed on the 6th of January and now having one again. The joys of being a woman!

Sorry girls, it is so bloody hard. But a new cycle is a new chance. Better in a way than waiting ages till AF.

@EmiGoiko thank you, you are right there 😃

Sorry to hear it’s not your turn either @Rmd123

@MsK89 sorry you started AF. Sending you so much luck for future cycles. I refrained from testing this morning. Been having cramps last night and today but still feeling nauseous. Boob sensitivity seems to have mostly gone away though. God knows if im in or out this month. I have this nervous stomach feeling like intense butterflies but not sure if that's genuine nerves for the outcome of my cycle or a possible symptom? Anyway, trying to hang on for AF or Saturday to test despite being tempted this morning. I really dont want to see another negative

@AmigoingcrZy thank you for your message :)

I really hope this is your month!! Well done for not testing, it’s so tempting isn’t it. Keep us posted xx

Hi everyone I hope your all well
Could I join the group? It's my 'ovulation' day today but this is my first month TTC and if I'm honest I'm finding it all confusing and stressful 😞 I don't think I've ovulated as my temperature is normal 🤷🏼‍♀️ baffled

@EmiGoiko that’s great news! So happy for you x

11 dpo and a bfn on ic for me today so think I’m out x

@kblue1 not out until AF comes. That's what I'm telling myself after BFN 11dpo yesterday. I'll update whatever my outcome is on Saturday 🤞
