4 Dpo and going mad

Anyone else in the tww ? Currently 4dpo and trying all the best to keep my head on and go about my day but I swear this is always the worst part of the month. Anyone else like that and waiting out these dreaded two weeks again?

If so can talk to me tell me about yourself. Are you planning to test ? I haven't decided if I'll test this month or wait it out but the waiting is already killing me.

I’m either 3 or 4 DPO although I’m not entirely sure as I’ve not been using OPKs at this stage as it’s our first month trying.

I’ve driving myself insane though wondering if I’ve got symptoms or not.

My boobs have been sore since yesterday and I’ve had a dull ache that comes and goes on my left side for the last two days.

I’m going to hold out testing until the 30th as AF is due on the 29th.

Hello ladies!

So good to find this thread!
I’m also 4DPO today and the tww is soo hard! Been ttc since Jan21 and sadly had one mmc in April at 11 weeks and then a mc in July at 6 weeks. I’m 33yo. This is the second cycle we are trying again since then. I will definitely be testing as soon as I can 😬 I would personally rather know, too impatient not to! Just trying to be chilled about the whole thing even though is easier said than done.

Last month I was convinced I was having symptoms again but then af came so will try not to symptom spot too much. I do think my body is a bit confused as well after everything that has been going on.

I hope this thread sees some bfps!! Xx

Can I join to currently 4dpo today in our first month of trying and knowing when I ovulate. Fingers crossed we all get those positives this month.

Firsttimetrier · 19/09/2021 08:46

How are you all getting on?

I’m trying not to symptom spot but it’s so difficult not to!

I’m still having continuous dull aches and my boobs feel so sensitive and full, so I’m now more certain that AF is on her way.

I’ve had some very vivid dreams over the last two nights, plus felt so bloated that I’d love to hope that it’s a positive sign.

So hard to remain chill and I just want to skip the next week so I can do a test and find out!

sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 09:38

Hi ladies who are in the same wait as me. 👋
I've done a test this morning I know it's probably too early but I caved and it was bfn. Feeling very deflated now

jessharra · 19/09/2021 09:49

@sarahtom23 sorry you had a bfn try find something to cheer you up today. If we're all 5dpi today I'd say you were just too early im holding off to test until Wednesday as I had the disappointment.

makemeamuma · 19/09/2021 09:52

Hi all can I join, I'm 4dpo today I think you ladies are a day ahead of me but hope you don't mind me joining you too. First month trying for us so really hoping for a miracle.

Selena33 · 19/09/2021 10:04

Hello everyone!

I’m having no symptoms whatsoever but I didn’t have last time I tested positive so not relying on that too much personally.

@sarahtom23 day 5po will be too early as the likelyhood is that implantation hasn’t even happened so fingers crossed for a bfp next week! My plan is to start testing around 9dpo if I can wait until then that is…

Planning a chilled day, a dog walk and keeping entertained with some housechores and Netflix later 😌

sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 10:05

@Selena33 I know I honestly don't k wi why I did it to myself or what I was expecting. No more testing until at least 10dpo I think for my sanity

OP posts:
Selena33 · 19/09/2021 10:08

@sarahtom23 I’ve done that many times in the past! Try not to feel discouraged and try to see it as a confirmation of early testing. I think it doesn’t help that I have a box of cheapies and can order on Amazon at any time… if they only sold expensive tests I would definitely be more selective with testing 😜

sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 10:08

I thought I'd share with you ladies. I got shared this Facebook group for ttc last week from someone wel I've joined and it seems nice so if any of you would like to join to please feel free to. It's a private group so no One can see that you've joined or are in it. There is only about 20-30 ladies there so rather small and friendly.

@Selena33 same here I've done so many the bfn always get some down I really knew better but still did it in hopes but I know I'm too early

Firsttimetrier · 19/09/2021 10:09

It’s so hard not to test though as you just want to find out.

Husband and I have agreed that I’ll test next Sunday but he’s asked for me not to tell him the result until after he’s finished running the half marathon he’s competing in 😂. Honestly don’t know how I’ll keep composed for those few hours.

jessharra · 19/09/2021 10:10

@sarahtom23 thanks for the link I'll check it out. Sorry to hear about your bfn but like @Selena33 says I think your a bit early hopefully the next test will be two lines for you x

jessharra · 19/09/2021 10:11

@Firsttimetrier I couldn't imagine keeping a secret from my husband for a few hours I'd be to excited to tell him 😂😂

jessharra · 19/09/2021 10:12

Thanks @sarahtom23 I joined too

sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 13:16

@Selena33 that's great. I'm glad we can have a few others to talk to in this time. Always nice to speak with others going through the same as I am. My friends don't understand as they all have kids.

Hi all, just wanted to reiterate the message that 5 DPO is extremely early and your BFNs mean nothing!
Implantation usually takes place between 6-10 DPO and only after it, you get those PG hormones that a test can detect.

You may have BFN today, and although extremely deflating, it really means nothing. I look forward to later next week, I'm watching this thread and I'm sure there will be plenty of BFPs when you're into 10-12+ DPO. Good luck to you all!!!

sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 15:05

@Danani hey 👋 and I know I should t have done it to myself 5dpo is way to early. Where are you in your cycle ? Are you waiting to test too.

Hoping we get some bfp on here too.

OP posts:
Danani · 19/09/2021 15:21

Hey, so I'm 10 DPO today. Have been resisting the urge to test so far, and had promised myself I'll test on Tue at 12 DPO. AF due on Fri. Fingers crossed for us all!

sarahtom23 · 19/09/2021 15:31

@Danani good luck for testing Tuesday I hope we get lots of bfp this coming week. Can't wait to hear the news from everyone
