4 Dpo and going mad

[sarahtom23]

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.

@bestwisheskindregards sorry for your Bfn I'm 11dpo today and another bfn for me too. 3 days off af being due this month isn't looking good for me again.

Hope you are all well!

My hormones have been all over the place this week! This morning I full on cried over the smallest thing and my poor husband thought I’d lost my mind. Also been so irritable all week!

I think AF is about to start but I’m getting tempted to test but don’t want to get my hopes up.

Can I use an early detection test partway through the day? Or does it really need to be the first wee?

@Firsttimetrier it’s best to use fmu however the first faint I saw I used it during the afternoon but it will be less concentrated and hence leas likely to pick up the pregnancy hormone x

Hi everyone. 10dpo for me today and it's a BFN with an easy at home strip, which I think is pretty sensitive. I'm a little bit down about it but not too bad. I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle now, but will keep testing until AF shows, just in case (still scared of ectopic!)

@Firsttimetrier FMU is advised but it's rubbish if you're a nighttime drinker or have a cuppa before bed! My results have always been stronger in the afternoon. I think some people metabolise hcg differently? So, if you've not had a drink for a good few hours, it's worth a shot. Good luck!

I've been doing a lot of research today about spotting in the luteal phase and I'm now worried I've got low progesterone. I know it's too soon to go to the GP about it but does anyone know when the GP would be willing to test progesterone levels?

Well I got some first response early detection tests (it says up to 6 days before your missed period) was supposed to wait until tomorrow to test with FMU but of course I caved and just took one now - around 2pm. The line came up after about 30 seconds so I didn't even have to wait the 3mins even-though it wasn't FMU.

I can't believe it! There's no denying this one. AF due on Monday so just hoping all goes well from now. Someone pinch me!!

@bestwisheskindregards, If you're 35 and over, they'll usually test you if it's been six months ttc. If you're under that, they usually say to give it a year. If you've got mid-cycle bleeding or spotting, it's worth talking to your GP anyway. You can always express what you're worried about and ask them.

@sunnyside257 congratulations and good luck!

Massive congratulations to all you ladies with BFP.

@weathervane123 I'm feeling exactly like you're self. I'm a little further behind like 8 or 9 DPO. But I'm not feeling anything an of course tested early an getting a BFN. I don't think this month is my month. But if that's the case once AF is out of the way I get to try again!

Congratulations @sunnyside257 🥰

I'm only 6dpo and feel like time is dragging on and on!!! Been getting a lot of left sided pelvic pain for the last day or so. Comes in short bursts and is really prominent, so just making me focus more and more on symptoms and the wait I still have to take a test!

@flossy980 - baby dust for you! Sounds promising. That's the same pains I had before I got my BFP. When are you going to test? When is AF due? X

@sunnyside257 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 My last cycle was 27 days so that would be AF due Monday but I think because I ovulated a few days earlier than I usually would AF will come next Saturday/Sunday! I'm not sure when to test really, did you get your first BFP at 9dpo?

@flossy980 - yeah I got a positive at 9dpo. Still cautious as it was so early. Just wait a few days and test again.

@sunnyside257 it looks like a great line for where you're at in your cycle so try to enjoy the moment ❤️

Ladies I need your help. I've tested this morning at 9 DPO according to my app. Using easy@home and first response. Faint but noticeable lines have come up on both but I can't seem to take a decent picture. Could this be my BFP? It doesn't seem real I'm even to scared to show my partner at the moment.

@Wishfulthinking2021 - this looks like a BFP! Congratulations!! You are still very early so maybe wait a couple of days and test again just to double check?

I can't believe my eyes. Its so early though in praying it sticks!

Yes that’s a line congratulations @Wishfulthinking2021

😳💖

@Wishfulthinking2021 - congratulations!! So please for you xx

That clear blue is an early detection one of the new ones with a red flashing light on. But I've just taken a clear blue that is meant to tell you the weeks and it says not pregnant. I'm so confused 😭😭😭😭 I don't know what to think.

@Wishfulthinking2021 - I don't think those clear blue ones are that sensitive so if you are only 9-10DPO it's maybe too early for one of those x

@Wishfulthinking2021 congratulations!! What a lucky thread this is turning out to be.

Please don't panic, the early detection one which shows pregnant detects 10mlU/ml, whereas the how many weeks detects 25mlU/ml. Due to how early you are testing that's why it won't be showing. I'd wait until your missed period to do the how many weeks test for more accurate results

@flossy980 thabj you so much. I'm in complete shock at the moment. 9 DPO is early for a positive so I hope everything goes well.

Hope you other ladies are doing well and wishing you all good luck 💖 x x

How many DPO is everyone else?

I'm 7DPO now, the pelvic pain I was having yesterday and day before has now stopped. Just left with sensitive nipples/boobs and I'm feeling exhausted. Not sure if I'll test or just hold out for AF!
