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 agree with being taught you only had to look at a boy an you'll pregnant. When in reality it's much harder. Do the YouTube videos distract you or make you worse?

How is everyone doing today?

bestwisheskindregards · 21/09/2021 14:52

I've had veeeeery pale brown/pink CM when I wipe today. Only very slightly discoloured though so no idea if it's implantation bleed or just my body being weird. I'm only 6dpo. Trying not to get hopes up.

Anyone else had any implantation bleeding this early before? Was it always dark pink/brown or quite pale?

Selena33 · 21/09/2021 16:23

@Wishfulthinking2021 I’m so busy at work today that I haven’t had the time to worry about tcc so that’s quite good! Yesterday my boobs were a bit sore and I had some EWCM and was feeling hopeful but today it’s back to normal so 🤷🏻‍♀️

@bestwisheskindregards I’ve never had implantation bleeding so I’m not sure, but implantation is between day 6-10 so it’s possible? Fingers crossed for you but only a test later will tell 🤞🏼

I’ve had the strangest few days as we’ve just decided that we may look to sell and move into a house, so we’ve been busy getting all that together! Stressful but at least it’s keeping my mind off things and giving me something to do.

However, the houses we can afford need a lot of work and I hope the world works in weird ways because I will gladly welcome being pregnant and doing a big refurb! So keeping fingers crossed things align.

How are you doing @Wishfulthinking2021?

Firsttimetrier · 21/09/2021 17:40

@LittleMysSister my school made out that if we had sex just once unprotected that we would get pregnant! However, a month of unprotected sex and no signs (as of yet) that I’m pregnant. 🙃

weathervane123 · 21/09/2021 18:35

@bestwisheskindregards did you have any cramping or discomfort at all? I've never had the bleeding or discharge bit, but I've definitely experienced cramps that were as strong as period pain.

@Wishfulthinking2021 I feel like every house show I watch on TV the woman gets pregnant during the renovation, so it's probably a really good thing you're house shopping right now! My partner has joked that we should find a place to do up for this very reason, lol. Good luck with it!

I'd love a big distraction atm. Am busy at work, but it's boring! And the symptom-spotting has begun with me too... had a weird feeling in my uterus this morning, and have been grumpy/emotional as hell for a couple of days. As I'm only 6dpo (7 at most) I know it's probably just progesterone acting up, though.

It is crazy how misled we all were at school, isn't it?! TTC is a minefield!

bestwisheskindregards · 21/09/2021 19:16

@weathervane123 I've had some weird twinges and pinches on and off for a couple of days but as it was so early, I've tried to tell myself it's probably wind haha. My womb has definitely felt a bit heavy too. But I'm not sure if that's because I'm trying to find symptoms or not! Really trying to not get hopes up. I'm contemplating testing on Sunday. AF due next Wednesday according to my app.

I'd love a distraction too! Time is going sooo slowly.

Bake Off on tonight though! Cake

Wishfulthinking2021 · 21/09/2021 20:33

I've had the same feelings, an I've put that down to wind 🤦‍♀️🤣. I have been extra bloated as well. I've had to go up two sizes on my works belt which I'm not overly happy about 🤣.

I get a feeling it won't happen for me this month especially as its our first month trying. Plus we didn't BD as much as I'd have liked due to our work patterns 🥺. Work has been a good distraction today!

@weathervane123 I think you're getting me confused with @Firsttimetrier I think.

weathervane123 · 21/09/2021 21:10

@Wishfulthinking2021 oops, sorry! I hope I can count my crappy concentration as a symptom!

weathervane123 · 21/09/2021 21:12

@bestwisheskindregards Heavy is the way I'd describe my feeling too. Let's hope it's a good sign. I think I'll be testing on Sunday too. In-laws are here for the weekend so maybe after they leave. That's if I can wait until then!

Wishfulthinking2021 · 21/09/2021 21:39

@weathervane123 don't worry about it! Weird you mentioned it though I had a dream the other night a bout moving 😆

I'm getting disheartened already. I don't think this month will be ours. So I'm hoping that puts me off testing at least till the 28th/29th.

sunnyside257 · 21/09/2021 22:24

I'm 6dpo. Still have the cramping. I've had A LOT of gas today. Like, more farts than I've ever had in my life BlushGrin

MrsM29 · 21/09/2021 22:39

@sunnyside257 this was me the last 2/3 days. I took a frer this morning think I'm around 10dpo... I'm too impatient. I had a faint positive but waiting to test on Thursday with a clear blue to be sure. I've also had period like pains and feel heavy soo keeping fingers crossed for us all!

sunnyside257 · 22/09/2021 09:17

@MrsM29 oh that sounds promising!! Hope you get a clear result on the next test SmileI stupidly tested this morning at 7dpo and it was negative. I just couldn't help myself.

bestwisheskindregards · 22/09/2021 09:22

@MrsM29 That sounds positive! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Selena33 · 22/09/2021 10:09

@MrsM29 that really sounds good!! Keep us updated!

@sunnyside257 I did too this morning at 7-8dpo and also bfn. Of course it may just be too early but I can’t help but feeling disheartened, I don’t think this is my lucky month

MrsM29 · 22/09/2021 10:50

I tested!!

Keeping everything crossed that the little bean sticks! Sending all my positive thoughts and vibes to you all. Hope we see lots more BFP's this and next month! X

4 Dpo and going mad
Wishfulthinking2021 · 22/09/2021 11:05

Oh congratulations!!! How many DPO do you think you are? Did you have many symptoms? Sorry for the million questions.

Selena33 · 22/09/2021 11:13

Congratulations! 💐 So happy for you @MrsM29 xx

MrsM29 · 22/09/2021 13:35

I think I'm around 11dpo so still very very early. I had some period like pains the past two days and my boobs are sore! Had a few little waves of nausea too x

flossy980 · 22/09/2021 17:23

Congratulations @MrsM29!! To get a positive on a clear blue digital this early is such a good sign so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm 3/4 DPO now and been getting twinges in my uterus quite a lot, been slightly painful to be honest! Other than that, nothing but so early!

Can't remember who asked but someone said about do the YouTube videos distract, they do a bit but they also spur you on to test earlier 😂😂😂 so not sure if that's really that helpful!

Pugmumm · 22/09/2021 17:38

Congrats @MrsM29 BrewBrewBrewBrewDaffodilDaffodilDaffodil such wonderful news. Please fingers crossed for the rest of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Firsttimetrier · 22/09/2021 20:29
