4DPO yet again, are you with me?

Today's 4DPO. This is second TWW after a miscarriage and that was the first time I was pregnant :(

First TWW after the miscarriage was very hard and very emotional for me, i was symptom spotting every little thing. This time around I feel calmer but its still 4DPO and my brain knows its too early for HcG to be there but not sure how I will be from 10DPO onwards.

Who else here is going through the TWW and how are you coping?

Hello! Sorry for your loss :(

I had a MC in March so this is technically cycle 3 since then, I haven’t tested OPKs this month as I was getting stressed with it all last.

Had horrible period type pains around CD19 so I’m assuming I ovulated around there and would be approx 5DPO today (Premom also predicted ovulation would be CD19).

I’m trying not to stress and only have one early test in the house so I’m saving it until next Friday hopefully!

Giles1008 · 02/06/2023 14:43

Hey can I join?

I’m 6/7DPO, Premom says 7 and Flo says 6. This is our 3rd month TTC #2. The first month I had terrible pains during the TWW but this month nothing.

We have a DS who is 2.5, I’ve just been reading the threads I was on when I had my last successful pregnancy and I had no symptoms then so hoping it’s a good sign 🤞🏻. Going to try wait until Tuesday to test - but already thinking about it all the time, it’s so hard!

foulplay · 02/06/2023 14:46

5 dpo here. Feeling a bit sicky, which is probably because I've just eaten a big slab of carrot cake and it's too early for symptoms.

bunnynbear · 02/06/2023 15:24

@DHB sorry for your loss too, mine was in April. last time i was stressing every DPO day so this time I'm trying not think about it. It's easier now as I know implantation wont have occurred but its going to creep up on me. I'm waiting to next Saturday to test but I may start get an itchy on Thursday (10DPO). I'm thinking of not testing OPK next month if its BFN this month.

@Giles1008 i use both apps too. they have my ovulation a day apart but both say im 4DPO so i get confused by them too. I had no symptoms during my pregnancy but for me that was the "cautious" sign i may be pregnant as usually I get bad cramps a week before my period.

@foulplay welcome! Since TTC, I have been eating whatever i want. my sisters (all mothers) told me when you're TTC, make the most of what you're able to eat because once you're pregnant, that'll change very quickly.

what do you find works for keeping your mind off the TWW/stress?

4dpo today cycle 4 ttc#2. I'm at peace till it's time to test, then I retest over and over even once it's a negative ahaha
First time around I was a mess so I'm trying to keep it together this time around.

Giles1008 · 02/06/2023 18:49

@VixFromThe6ix when do you usually test from? I usually only do one a day but do usually cave at 9DPO.

What does everyone do about drinking? I’ve just opened a beer and then realised implantation is most likely tomorrow or Sunday.

VixFromThe6ix · 02/06/2023 19:04

@Giles1008 honestly I'm bad...sometimes I start from 7dpo. Fully aware the chances are miniscule but I saw a line at 8dpo with my son so I'm thinking it will show early. Some days I test twice a day till about 12dpo. 🙈

DHB · 02/06/2023 19:19

@bunnynbear Rubbish isn’t it :( It makes you even more desperate for a bfp! I was fine too and then today I’ve started checking Premom community and all the threads on here 🫣😂 I’m really going to try not to symptom spot or test early but deep down I know damn well, I will do both 😂

ManchesterRoad · 02/06/2023 21:42

Please may I join? This is my first cycle trying -I think I’m 1dpo so I have quite a while to wait until I can test 😂

hoping it’s a positive outcome for us all!

Thisisjustmyfaceok · 03/06/2023 07:10

Can I join too please? Sorry to hear about your loss OP and PP, fingers crossed you get your BFP this month.

I'm 3DPO, ovulated a few days sooner than expected and only managed to DTD the day before ovulation and the day of. Hopefully it's enough!

Giles1008 · 03/06/2023 10:13

@Thisisjustmyfaceok thats sounds the same as me only managed to DTD the same days. I think they’re the most important ones.

I’m 8DPO caved and tested with a cheapie, stark white 🙄. Hoping I implant today or tomorrow 🤞🏻

Thisisjustmyfaceok · 03/06/2023 10:32

@Giles1008 I've been furiously googling the best times to DTD looking for some hope 😂

It's so gutting seeing the negative result but 8dpo is so early, you're still in! Why does the TWW feel like such a long time?! Every day just drags

Giles1008 · 03/06/2023 10:51

I actually don’t feel too bad seeing BFN on 8 DPO but by 11DPO I know that it’s a pretty much a no and it’s tough then.

Have you been trying long?

Thisisjustmyfaceok · 03/06/2023 11:32

We've been not trying not preventing for about 6 months with me secretly hoping it would happen. This month is the first actively trying.

Have you been trying long?

foulplay · 03/06/2023 11:43

@bunnynbear excellent advice from your sister's I'm going to hold onto that

DmcinT · 03/06/2023 18:28

@bunnynbear sorry to hear about ur loss, similar to u I had a MMC at 11 weeks in March with D&C start of April.

we are ttc #1, I’m 4 dpo today and absolutely questioning and googling every little twinge. I was convinced we had conceived again last cycle (first after Mc) so that was a very emotional af.

🤞🏽🤞🏽 For us all ❤️

@DHB since ttc every time I go through the tww, each DPO day I check Premom to see what it says and every cycle it has mainly been the same comments but I still check them nonetheless! 🫣 but this time round I've had very good self restraint. But I've switched to checking mumsnet instead

@DmcinT sorry to hear about your loss too. We're trying for #1 as well.
I was like that last month when I was symptom spotting everything and then becoming very emotional when I had little twinges which I thought could be implantation even tho it was too soon. I'm hoping it's your month this time as well as every else on here 🙂

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone here.

@ManchesterRoad babydust to you

How are you coping with the tww?

OP posts:
ManchesterRoad · 03/06/2023 20:48

@bunnynbear ok so far. I’m not sure what to expect or what to look out for. I also don’t know when to test 😂 I was going to wait until 14 days but then I see people testing earlier and I’m unsure what to do!

How are you finding your wait?

Plumbibii · 03/06/2023 21:57

Hello!! May I join too pls?
2dpo here. Xx

Giles1008 · 03/06/2023 22:01

This is technically our 3rd month trying, but last month we missed ovulation because of work commitments. We have a DS who is 2.5 so really hoping to give him a sibling soon 🤞🏻

Had a busy day so haven’t thought about testing. Did you start tracking this month then?

DHB · 04/06/2023 07:27

@bunnynbear Im literally the same 😂 It’s so bad isn’t it! I’ve been ok throughout the cycle, it’s just now it’s the waiting game! I’m now around 7dpo so it’s getting closer but now I’m symptom sporting and panicking because I don’t bloody have any!!

Giles1008 · 05/06/2023 11:26

10 DPO tested BFN, had some bright red spotting this morning so I think AF is imminent.

Keeping my hopes but by thinking it may be implantation, I didn’t have this first time so 🤷🏻‍♀️. How is everyone else getting along?

DmcinT · 05/06/2023 13:42

@Giles1008 deff could be implantation🤞🏽 Meaning it’d be 13/14 by time ud get ur bfp🤞🏽

im just 6 dpo, nothing major over the last few days but I’ve ended up having a 30min nap today (which I never do) and that was a first symptom on my last pregnancy (but it ended in a loss) so I’m cautiously hopeful. I’d imagine the symptom spotting will ramp up this week for me, af due next Monday
