4 Dpo TWW

Hi ladies.

  Anyone else in their tww on 4Dpo?

We had an IUI last Thursday, the same day I ovulated, so I know I'm deffo 4DPO. I had a chem 2 years ago so don't remember any symptoms really.

I'm also 36 so an older first time carrier! Blush

The only things I have noticed is needing a wee all the time, gurgling in my uterus and a full feeling, like you get before AF. Also had a constant headache since Friday

These are probably all nothing but I like to think there is something cool going on in my womb right now! :)
Will be testing next week at 10DPO and again at 14DPO

Anyone else? Smile

Hi!
I'm in the same situation, 4 days PO.
I'm also 36 and have had some of the same symptoms. I've had a mild annoying headache on and off all weekend, painful breasts, especially nipples and I've been quite bloated.
I have never tested and just wait for my period to arrive but this time I'm going to test from day 10. I want to find out if maybe sperm is meeting egg but not implanting. I really have no idea if it will tell me anything but I guess it's a new way to torture myself!
Hopefully we can collect a few more ladies in the same situation and keep each other sane through this x

Hi Piapea!

Super glad I'm not alone this week Grin

Yesterday evening I was so tired I kept dozing, which is not like me at all, I'm always wide awake. I've had constant pressure in my uterus and can feel them now. Almost like AF is coming but without the pain?
My boobs have stopped hurting though I think, maybe nipples are a little sensitive.
Not sure when to hold out until but I'm guessing Sunday will be our first test!

How are you feeling today? Smile

Hi I’m 35 and joining you on the TWW journey. I’m any where between 3/5 DPO

I’ve got sore nipples, nausea started and had sharp pains in my last bits. But I have read this can be because of the rise of progesterone your body makes just Incase after ovulation.

Jrenai · 14/09/2021 10:14

Hi Kirsty Smile

  Yes I read that too, but I think  things feel a little different than usual for me. 

I have noticed my boobs might be getting a bit tender behind my nipples and I'm oretty sure I don't usually feel that until 2 days before AF.
Still having some cramps today too! So feeling hopeful

What day are you all testing?

Hi all, been using clearblue advanced digital ovulation tests this month (first month properly ttc) and I got my peak fertility on friday 10th so I'm either 3/4 dpo and feel like my boobs are a bit tender and a bit of a tugging/sharp pain in my stomach but not sure if i'm just making it all up in my head!!! xx

Kirstyx2 · 14/09/2021 12:42

@Jrenai I promised my self not to get wrapped up in early testing but who am I actually kidding so maybe Saturday/Sunday. I’m out doing errands at the moment and have actually had sick in my mouth and feel light headed. This has NEVER happened before. It’s either a sign or I’ve got a bug 🙄. I’ve had terrible vivid dreams these last 2 nights and feel so dizzy today. Nipples still tender. My period isnt due until the 25-27th depending if I go 26 or 28 days I vary but never 27 lol.

Jrenai · 14/09/2021 13:23

Hey Ladies Smile

Well I'm due the 23rd so we shall see. I'm normally a spot on 28 day cycle, ovulation D14.
But August I got AF on the 9th, and then AGAIN on the 29th! Never happened to me but I'm putting it down to the clinic messing up around!

I will most definitely be testing on the weekend and I literally cannot wait haha!

Have some pulling around my uterus but that's quite normal for me upto a week after OV. Boobs definitely tender though!

Hard not to symptom spot thus early but a nurse at the clinic said one of their patients had a positive at 5DPO! And she had treatment in a clinic so it's not because she OV early or anything. Just goes to show that you CAN implant early!

Hi @Jrenai

So I noticed you mentioned feeling sleepy often and I gotta say I had the same pretty much from 2dpo. And I’m 8dpo today, got faint bfp yesterday and a more visible one today.

So, it could be a symptom

Jrenai · 14/09/2021 20:35

Congratulations!! That's amazing news :) well now I'm not feeling anything to be honest, apart from tender BBS, so I'm just not sure Hmm

I'm still feeling tired today too, but I was literally falling asleep yesterday and Sunday lol

Cant wait to test!!!

OP posts:
PinzQueen · 14/09/2021 20:52

@Jrenai thank you.

I don't think symptoms are much of an indicator. I had lots on bfn cycles, but only 2 symptoms on this bfp cycle.

I am sending 🌻 light and baby dust to you🌻... may this be the one.

Cruz86 · 14/09/2021 20:55

Congratulations @PinzQueen!

Do you mind if I join? I'm anywhere between 2-5 dpo (not tracking ovulation) and put this down to ewcm about 5 days ago. Today I had to have a nap!! Couldn't keep my eyes open. Apart from that, no real symptoms apart from cramping and noticeable boobs, but that's not out of the ordinary.

AF due 25th and always spot on with timings. So we'll see!!

PinzQueen · 14/09/2021 21:00

Hello @Cruz86,

Apparently a rise in progesterone is the reason for the sleepiness... perhaps it's a sign that you have more than enough of the hormone in your system. And the hormone increases with conception ...so 🤗🤗🤗

Piapea · 14/09/2021 21:52

Hey Jrenai.. I have to say I had a few days where I thought I could feel some differences to my normal cycle but most of those symptoms have faded away now. The 3 day headache has subsided (it was more annoying than painful), my breasts aren't as tender as they were and I'm not any more tired than I usually would be. I'm going to test on Saturday anyway but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Fingers crossed for you ladies, hopefully there will be a few positivesSmile

Cruz86 · 14/09/2021 23:04

Ooh that's really positive 🤞🏻🤞🏻 only another 11 days to wait and see haha x

Jrenai · 15/09/2021 10:04

Morning Ladies Smile

So today I am having mild cramps, which are the kind you get before you come on. I'm expecting to find AF later today but I'm not due on for 8 days so I'm dubious.

My boobs are definitely sore today, if I flat palm press over my nipples it's super tender, which I really don't normally get ever before a period. They have been sore a few days leading upto my AF for the last 2 months but I out that down to doubling my folic acid and Co Q10 supps.

Also, I'm normally a really chilled person but I nearly ripped the throat out of a conworker this morning. Reaaalllyy had to hold back and bite my tongue Grin

How are you all feeling today? And its nice to see more people joining in, more the merrier!

Kirstyx2 · 15/09/2021 10:37

@Jrenai morning

I’ve got the worst head cold and stuffy nose. It’s like I’m going to come down with a cold but not quite there yet. My nausea has disappeared and nipples still sore. I have no time for anyone today at all i could just get back into bed.

Jrenai · 15/09/2021 12:51

That was me on Monday! I was vile and had the stuffiness nose and headache!!
Really hoping we all get a BFP this month.

We have decided to test on Sunday at 9DPO. May be early but should be okay for a FRER Smile

OP posts:
Danani · 15/09/2021 14:25

Hey girls, can I join? I'm 6 DPO today.
A bit about me - TTC #1, cycle 2. I went so overboard last month - did the CB ovulation tests, then was obsessively symptom spotting throughout the TWW, only to get AF and a bunch of BFNs. This month, I didn't do the ovulation tests and just going by what Flo is telling me.
I've also promised myself to NOT symptom spot and test early. I'll try to hold off on testing until next week. I'll be 12 DPO on Tue, which seems like a good time to do my first test (if I manage to wait that long). AF is due Fri next week. Fingers crossed for us all!

Jrenai · 15/09/2021 22:03

Hey!

  Nice to have more ladies in the tww! 

I tested earlier and it was a squinted second line on a FRER but possible indent so not testing again until Monday!

Super crampy today, lots of wee breaks!

Hope you're all good xx

OP posts:
Cruz86 · 15/09/2021 22:14

Ooh that's exciting @Jrenai!! How many dpo are you?

Jrenai · 16/09/2021 07:26

I'm only 7dpo , so was just practice testing Grin
We will do another on Sunday now, I don't think there's much point until then.
I'm trying to feel every niggle and wonder if it's implantation! Not due AF for a week yet so really hoping the sore bbs are baby related!

Kirstyx2 · 16/09/2021 08:00

Morning ladies, I had sharp pains and like a burning sensation where my C section scar is last night again not sure what that is about, this C section scar is 12 years old (my youngest) ooooooow @Jrenai really hoping it’s the start of something for you 🤞keep us posted..

Danani · 16/09/2021 08:44

@Jrenai hey girl! I hope you get a BFP on Sunday!!!
I'm 7 DPO today too, but I feel absolutely...nothing. No symptoms of any kind whatsoever. I'm trying not to lose hope...but it seems everyone on here gets so many symptoms leading up to their BFP and I've got nothing.
I'm trying to hold off on testing till Tue, when I'll be 12 DPO. And then we'll see. AF is due Thu/Fri next week.

Kirstyx2 · 16/09/2021 08:58

@Danani don’t worry I had absolutely NOTHING 16 and 13 years ago with my first 2. Until I got to 8 weeks then I had sickness until 12/13 weeks then nothing, baked beans and coffee set me off with both so no one was aloud eat bead or drink coffee 😂. Plain sailing pregnancies didn’t even put weight on until month 7. I was a lot younger then in my early 20’s and only did the deed both times on one drunken night and bam pregnant. Even told to the nurse at the ultrasound I know my exact conception date it was only once lol. I said the day after with my second I’m definitely pregnant I know it don’t need a test. But my previous partner went out and got a cheap 6 day early test I remember it , it was dots not lines. I had to hold it up to the light even see the dot reflecting but it was there. I’m guessing that would of been classed as Now in my 30’s and trying desperately with my new partner and nothing is happening. I’m not holding out much hope this cycle I only dtd once 2/3 days before ovulation. But hey you never know. Had some symptoms but again might not be nothing apart from increased progesterone. I’m guessing I’m 7dpo.
