4dpo and going mad

[Charl881]

Anyone around 4dpo and want to wait out the TWW with me?

Usually I think the first week goes quickly but it is seriously dragging this cycle. Plus I didn’t use OPKs this month so I might only be three dpo!

WFH doesn’t help, I just end up spending far too much time over thinking it, working out when I can test, and looking at line eyes threads on MN.

I’m 2DPO and could have written this post myself. I’m sat here doing EXACTLY the same thing as you! When do you think you’ll test?

@Curlywurly3 I’m thinking Sunday when I will be 8/9 dpo. Super early I know but I’m an early tester this time around. AF due a week tomorrow, why does that feel so far away still! How about you?

I’m in the same position too! First cycle of TTC and I’ve tracked ovulation which said I was peak last Thursday & Friday so we dtd a few times last week to cover it all haha.
I’ve been having cramps, back pain, sore boobs, feeling tired and a bit of mucus (sorry tmi!). I’m trying hard not to over think / Google but it’s difficult! I know it can sometimes take time too so trying to stay patient 😂

@Charl881 further along at 7DPO but driving myself crazy!!

@Charl881 I'm 8DPO today. It's sheer torture.

I might be 2dpo or maybe not. I havent had a period since July 2020. I had my son in April 2021 and bf for 12 months stopping 3 weeks ago and no period for all that time. I think I ovulated for the first time on Sunday ( had ewcm and one darker opk friday - my last one so couldn't test on sat) but not sure. No symptoms except alot creamy mucus.. maybe I'm actually gearing up to ovulate. Hard not to obsess!

I’m hoping I can hold out to test next Wednesday when I’ll be 10DPO, feels like a lifetime.

I’m a little worried though, I had a MC in December and unfortunately had a high risk pregnancy which ended in March. I was told 4 weeks ago I have two cysts, they said they were corpus luteum cysts and completely normal. Since I ovulated 2 days ago, they are hurting A LOT. I don’t know if I should call the doctor tomorrow as it’s really hurting 😞

@Curlywurly3 no harm in calling for peace of mind. I wonder if you’re noticing the pain from them because you’re aware of them now? The mind is a powerful thing.

sorry to hear about your losses.

@Charl881 I totally get what you’re saying but the pain was pretty intense this afternoon, this evening it’s more of a dull feeling. I’ll see how it is tomorrow. It’s weird the pain has only kicked in since ovulation though 🤷🏼‍♀️

Bedtime soon meaning I’m almost 3DPO! You could be going into implantation territory tomorrow 🤞🏻

@Peonies94 and @SarahShorty when will you both be testing? Must be getting close

@Curlywurly3 Friday I think! Will probably do IC on Friday and Saturday!

@Curlywurly3 I'm going to try not to 😄 despite it driving me insane, I'm going to hold out.

Can I join the party! Currently 7dpo on my first cycle trying to conceive my second, and the wait is killing me!! I haven't had a period since conceiving my DD (still breastfeeding), but positive OPKs show I finally ovulated on the 11th. I'm not going to lie, I'm definitely testing tomorrow like the crazy person I am!! 🤣

I caved and bought a couple of FRER 😂 I guess I'll be testing either Friday or Saturday. Gaaargh! 😂😂

Hi everyone, I’m 8dpo today and finally caved and tested, BFN as expected!! Been bloated and had slight cramps a few days ago.. need to hold out until at least Friday but you know how it goes!

Ah, we’re fairly close @Charl881! I’m 6DPO today so a day ahead of you. It’s going so slowly, isn’t it?!

I might be 1DPO - just got a temp rise two days after my +OPK, so another 2 days until ov is properly confirmed 🤞

@SarahShorty my FRERs arrived from Amazon earlier than I thought yesterday, going to be so hard to resist using them.

@Rellington21 I’m glad I’m not the only one who caves at 8dpo. Why do we do it to ourselves 🙈 Still lots of time for you to get a positive.

@canyoutoleratethis good luck for when you test! How old is your DC?

@Curlywurly3 Hope you’re in less pain today?

@Charl881 Thanks! I will let you all know how I get on in the morning. It'll be a negative, obviously, because I'll only be 8dpo, and even if I am pregnant, it's far too early, but I know there's no way I will be able to resist, so it's pointless pretending. Urgh, why do we do this to ourselves!

My DD is 14 months, and she's awesome (totally biased mum!). I so want her to be a big sister. Have you any other LOs?

@canyoutoleratethis I know what you mean, I always say I’m going to hold out and I never to. Sometimes I think it’s better to just test each day from 8dpo then I don’t have to think about it as much!

Yes my DS is almost two, I would love for him to be a big brother before he is three! Although I know it doesn’t really matter and every age gap has its pros and cons

So, in what will be a surprise to absolutely no one, I got a big fat negative this morning. I knew as I was peeing it was too early, but I still did it anyway! I'm a proper loon.... 🤣🤣

@Charl881 I can hardly feel anything now, just a dull ache every now and then. The other day felt like a cyst had burst or twisted (if that’s even a thing) as it hurts so much. Thank you for asking.

4DPO today, the days are crawling by!

Hi Ladies would appreciate your opinion, I have wet but creamy cm atm (very sorry tmi) I'm so lost to whether I'm actually having a cycle or not but I think I could be 3/4dpo. Does that cm sound normal for 3/4dpo? As an aside, I have done opks for the last 3 days and all negative (just to try confirm my cycle)

Also when do pms symptoms/pregnancy symptoms start? 7dpo? I have zilch right now so it feels very pessimistic. I cant remember what I used to be like as I never paid any heed to my cycles pre TTC and haven't had a period in nearly 2 years due to baby and bfing
