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.

Congratulations @Wishfulthinking2021! Good luck!

I'm 11dpo today and bfn. Experiencing some mild cramps so I think AF is on its way, though I wasn't expecting it quite yet due to ovulating a bit late because of the miscarriage. Mildly disappointed but hey, there's always next month.

11DPO for me, think I'm out this month again :(

Was really hopeful as this is the first month we've actually covered all relevant days, but I tested on Saturday and Sunday and both were negative.

As usual, my brain still doesn't give up hope until my period finally arrives, so I'm still trying to gee myself up that it was too early etc. But I know I'd know if I was pregnant, and I'm not.

@LittleMysSister when's AF due? 9 and 10dpo are still early to get positives but maybe just try and hold out for AF now so that you don't have to keep gearing yourself up for testing x

flossy980 · 27/09/2021 19:09

I'm really having a mental battle with what to do about testing!

9DPO tomorrow and I brought some FRER today so that I have them on hand. I would love to wait until AF is late but I'm also convincing myself I'm pregnant so I think it would be a good idea for me to test before hand so I'm mentally prepared for AF to arrive Confused I just don't want to get into the dilemma of testing early and then wasting so much money on tests.

I’m 14dpo , af was supposed to come on yesterday still no show so far I’m going to put off testing till Wednesday or Friday if I can I’m quite scared to test, I’ve felt nauseous for a week and a half now had cramps last week on and off over the weekend not sure what to think. I used to be a 28day which would take me to Tomorrow but as I got older my cycle has shortened a few days. Just need to talk to someone and you all are in the same boat. This can make you feel so alone x

Wishfulthinking2021 · 28/09/2021 08:08

@flossy980 please don't test early. I did, but I'm now in that trap of testing daily and they don't seem to be getting any darker. I'm really starting to panic that ots going to be a chemical 😭😭

Not 100% sure, app says Friday so I think anytime before then. It's added a couple of days on because my cycle was 1 day longer last month, so I think it could be sooner than Friday.

Either way I won't test again this month unless it doesn't arrive x

I did a test yesterday as my boobs were sore but AF made her appearance this morning.

Life has been so hectic at the moment as we’re in the process of putting our flat up for sale and hopefully having an offer accepted on a flat, that I’m weirdly okay with AF arriving.

Onto the next cycle, when life is hopefully less hectic and we have the headspace.

flossy980 · 28/09/2021 17:16

@Wishfulthinking2021 I tested this morning and BFN! Still got sore boobs, feeling nauseous, headache and exhausted though which aren't usual for me so I don't know what's going on. Ahh how many days apart have the tests been that haven't got darker? As HCG takes 48 hours to double I believe so 🤞🏻 when's AF due??

@LittleMysSister got my fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't arrive and you get your BFP.

@Firsttimetrier sorry to hear that AF has arrived, but good that you have other things to prioritise and keep you occupied until next cycle! Hope the sale and purchase go to plan for you

sarahtom23 · 29/09/2021 17:00

Af arrived for me yes yep that puts me out this month. I've got a consultation app with a private fertility clinic on Thursday to see what help they can give us as I feel I've almost lost all hope of conceiving on our own now.

Aw sorry @sarahtom23 , mine has arrived today too. Expected it, but still shit.

How long has it been for you?

flossy980 · 30/09/2021 07:13

Done a FRER this morning at 11DPO, there's a very very very faint second line which I'm not sure if it's evap or just faint. But, I would assume at 11DPO it should be stronger than that either way!

MrsM29 · 30/09/2021 09:08

Hi @flossy980, I think very faint at 11dpo is right as it's still pretty early. I would wait another 2 days (if you can) and test again!

beanchopper17 · 30/09/2021 09:24

I am so deflated! I am now 15dpo (period expected latest yest), negative tests and zero signs of period.

Makes me think I had a failed ovulation, it's happened before, with pcos it's unpredictable and my body will probably try again at some point. I just got very excited as for the first time in years I thought I had finally got 2 cycles in a row the same length, but clearly I was wrong.

Anyone else experience something similar?
