4dpo buddies? October/November babies🎆🧙‍♀️

Anyone else 4dpo? Feeling any different?! I've always said it's a bit early but I'm open to hearing if anyone is!

BeaKind · 09/02/2023 20:55

I’m 4 dpo too. I’m pretty sure we didn’t do it enough as I didn’t get a clear peak so realised too late that I ovulated 🤦‍♀️ Quite nice really as I’m not symptom spotting or counting down the days til I test.

How are you feeling?

We dtd every other day for 6 days until the day before ovulation. Wasn't stressing and pushing doing any more so with sperm living as long as it does we have a chance!

I'm feeling fine other than feeling exhausted...really tired!

How about you?

@Mummyo1 hello! Think I'm 4dpo too. Tww is already feeling long... Haha. With my first my first real symptoms (gassiness and tender boobs) were around 9/10dpo although I also got super spotty from 4dpo and not sure if it was coincidence or not!

BeaKind · 09/02/2023 21:01

Oooh that’s really good! I did feel pretty rough yesterday but then I’ve had a cold for about 6 weeks so thought it was just that and feel more normal today. Surely it must be too early for anything pregnancy related? We’ll that’s what I keep telling myself lol.

Bridgeth29 · 09/02/2023 21:07

Me! We've been TTC our second for a year now and I feel like it's never going to happen. I'm over the hill too. I've given up symptom spotting as was convinced I was pregnant 2 months ago as had all the same symptoms as when I conceived DS. All the BFNs have been horrible but that one devastated me.

I must admitt I'm more gassy! I'm tired a lot more than usual...not normally like this. I'm TTC baby #2 for the last 4 months now.

I'm holding out until 10dpo and have a box of frer!

Baby dust to you all! 🩷

@Bridgeth29 ah that's really tough. I came off the pill January 2022 all ready for no 2 straight away but my periods just weren't coming back after DS was born and I think due to bf. In the end I had to go ahead with weaning and thankfully my periods finally returned quite quickly! This is my third cycle since periods came back. DS just turned 2 and I just turned 37 so in terms of my body clock and my preferred age-gap I'm really hoping for a success asap!

Lexie365 · 09/02/2023 22:38

Can I join even tho I'm 9dpo😁 first cycle ttc #3. Negative test today but still holding out hope🤞

lemonyfox · 10/02/2023 07:42

Hello! I'm exactly the same, 5dpo today and TTC #2. It's only our second cycle of trying though, we started giving it a go between Christmas and NY!

We had sex 4 or 5 times in my fertile window this month so I'm hopeful. But saying that, we only had sex one time and 4 days before ovulation when I got pregnant the first time, so who knows 😂

Holly03 · 10/02/2023 10:35

4dpo and didn’t realise I ovulated earlier then I thought so we only had sex on the 2/3. Ovulated the 6th so I think I’m out. I know sperm lives for 5 days but I’m not counting on it. I usually get symptoms 7 days before af is due so I’m holding out until next Tuesday to see if I get any symptoms from there as I feel normal right now. Had the odd bout of sick feeling but im trying not to get my hopes up. Really bad travel sickness type feeling with my daughter around the week before af so fingers crossed it happens again. I actually have no preference on sex just really want those two lines and healthy pregnancy. The older I’m getting I’ve realised that my chances of getting pregnant as easily as I did in my 20s is not going to happen, hoping we are all getting those positive tests this month

BeaKind · 13/02/2023 07:36

How’s everyone doing? I have to keep reminding myself the % of getting a positive test 7 dpo 😅😅😅 especially after finding some cheapie tests in a draw 😆

Welshgal85 · 13/02/2023 07:54

Can I join? 😊

I’m 4/5 dpo, ttc #1 and on cycle 6. The pst few days I’ve felt a bit off and been having sharp twinges in my lower stomach. I know it’s far too early for symptoms, it’s hard not to read too much into things!
AF is due on the weekend so going to wait a few days before doing an early test. Really want this cycle to be the one 🤞🏻

SnookyPook · 13/02/2023 08:09

@BeaKind feeling impatient! Haha however I'm not really a fan of early testing so although another week of waiting feels interminable I'm on board for that over the rollercoaster of early testing.

@Welshgal85 welcome! Oh it's impossible not to symptom spot isn't it?! I'm on hyper-alert to every little thing! 6/7dpo here and sure I've been feeling a bit nauseous and gassy the last couple of days but.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

RainbowMum92 · 13/02/2023 08:34

Hi 👋🏻 do you mind if I join?
currently 6dpo first month trying! I hope you’re all ok!

BeaKind · 14/02/2023 08:01

Morning ladies. So I wasn’t going to test early (didn’t really dtd much this time so sure we’ve not conceived) but then I found some cheap tests.

I have this shadow this morning. I’m 8/9 dpo and this looks just like my first test when I had my little boy 🙈

Can anyone else see the shadow? 😬

(Also please don’t tell me off for early testing I really do know better)

4dpo buddies? October/November babies🎆🧙‍♀️

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 08:17

@BeaKind I see a shadow! Best of luck!! Keep us posted! 😃

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 08:18

@RainbowMum92 hello and welcome! 7/8dpo here so very similar!

RainbowMum92 · 14/02/2023 09:13

Hi! Do you temp or anything? When will you be testing? X

RainbowMum92 · 14/02/2023 09:14

I can see that! I’m sure mine started like that with my previous pregnancy 🤞 x

Welshgal85 · 14/02/2023 09:18

@SnookyPook yes I’m the same, on day 6 and been feeling nauseous too and the twinges are still there. I wonder what it could be as so early! Going to try and hang on a few more days and do an early test. Fingers crossed for us both!

@BeaKind I can see it! 😊

lemonyfox · 14/02/2023 09:26

@BeaKind I can see something!

I feel like I'm in the same boat, I'm 9dpo and I can't tell if this is a vvfl or an indent? (Excuse the hairy blanket, my dog had been on it lol)

Hope you're all doing well! Tests are tricking me. 8dpo test yesterday (9dpo today) and the test dried and line gone. Tests are so cruel 😭

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 10:18

@RainbowMum92 no I don't temp - just OPKs and then wait and see! I don't usually test early although since I've been on MN the temptation has grown! Haha. But no I will try to resist until AF due.

@Welshgal85 it's so easy to convince yourself of things going on isn't it? Today I'm feeling like my boobs are a bit different and possibly CM... But we'll see!!

@lemonyfox @Mummyo1 still early days! Don't lose hope just yet! This is mostly why I don't test early as I know I'd drive myself mad with the 'is it a line? Is it still there?' etc! It's such a rollercoaster isn't it. We should all have a lot more clarity by this time next week at the latest...?!

Happyhappy39soon40 · 14/02/2023 10:48

Good morning all, hope you don't mind me joining.

Af due yesterday, hasn't shown up yet.

Good luck to you all. Baby dust

Yeah very true. Isn't it annoying how you only get one small window a month at conception, it feels like a bloody lifetime
