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?

How's everybody doing? 11 dpo here, absolutely no symptoms whatsoever. AF due Saturday. Life is a bit stressful at the moment, so I e found this tww easier than I usually do.

bunnynbear · 11/07/2023 07:10

@Lemonbell welcome! im sorry for your losses. they are difficult to go through. how you finding this tww?

@TT82 youre right it is tough and you've had a very tough journey. I'm hoping you get that bfp soon. have you tested today or you waiting for 10dpo? i was considering freezing my eggs but its a matter of costs and also if i freeze my eggs that's a cycle of not trying. first step for me is the blood tests and scan if this cycle doesnt lead to a bfp.

@UnderstatedElegance Im 8dpo today and I'm like you, I dont feel anything that could remotely be pregnancy related. i feel like im already out due to the lack of any symptoms or changes. have you tested yet or you waiting for af due date? sorry to hear things are manic for you, i hope they get easier for you!

@bunnynbear I did one in the morning- this horrible CB early that gives evaporation lines. It didn't give a line but I thought I could see a shadow but like the lightest ever, then realised it is a trick my mind playing on me and started laughing ☺️ So next one will do 10dpo
Don't even ask why I am doing it.. 🙈 I guess with IVF it will be different so I just decided to use my stack of tests
Also distracts me from my parents-in-law, husband's cousin and a baby visiting us for a month 😅

I don't think I could be this luck to get healthy pregnancy last cycle before ivf...even though you do read these miracle stories

bunnynbear · 11/07/2023 08:12

@TT82 you have family over for a month?! thats a very long time, i dont know how i would cope! Good luck :)

i have a stack too, it has FRER and CB (early and digital) but i always start using the cheap easy@home sticks and if theres a faint line i will move on to the more expensive mores later on but i havent gotten that far since the miscarriage.

@bunnynbear it is very difficult! Also having a baby around...... But I asked my husband that no visitors in August, as read all the meds for ivf emotionally complicated, hormones will be over the moon etc. so need to have quiet time

UnderstatedElegance · 13/07/2023 06:42

I've not tested yet @bunnynbear. I flew to South America for work Weds, so I don't have any tests either. Af due Saturday, but it was a few days late last month and with no symptoms I'm not sure if it will be late or on time.

TT82 · 13/07/2023 07:24

Hi all, haven't tested today, decided to wait till 12dpo. I have more period symptoms and only 1 early cheaper test, rest digital which I keep to test after I get positive to monitor as it turns to negative fast in my case.
Good luck to all who is testing these few days! Xx

bunnynbear · 13/07/2023 08:47

Well I caved and tested today (10dpo) and it was bfn. Not surprised as don't have any symptoms at all. I'll test again on Saturday but I don't have any hope that it'll be bfp. Hoping others here are having better luck!

TT82 · 14/07/2023 11:02

Hi, tested today 11dpo, BFN as expected. I have strong PMS symptoms this cycle. I never was positive after cp before, so was low chance anyway.
My hormones are dropping now before AF, so I am sad but also like exhausted, it is what it is
I will start taking pills for ivf preparation as soon as AF arrives and then in august will have a real test how good those eggs are 😱 Genetic testing etc will take very long but also I need to get something to test which is not given....so might be another cycle straight away..

I will be reading these messages from time to time, so hope to read lots of good news from all ladies here! 🤗

Baby dust to everyone ❤️

bunnynbear · 14/07/2023 13:29

@TT82 im still hoping you get a bfp. youre not out until af shows. if you do need to do IVF, i hope it goes well, IVF process can be as tiring and emotionally draining as ttc on its own.

im still bfn but i now have a strange taste in my mouth. not sure if its metallic taste but it started last night when i ate strawberries (DH said they tasted fine). things now just taste weird and my mouth just feels funny/off. af is due in 6 days for me.

TT82 · 14/07/2023 13:36

@bunnynbear thank you for your support!! 🙏
Ivf is worse than ttc...but cannot waste time..

I am not positive as have all usual PMS, last cycle I didn't have them, though no pregnancy symptoms either. My AF on Wednesday as ovulation was later, but body behaves as if it will come on Sunday..

Oh metal taste is a good sign!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

bookworm100 · 14/07/2023 17:12

11DPO and BFN here! AF due on Wednesday so we shall see!

TT82 · 14/07/2023 18:32

@bookworm100 oh 🤞🏻for you!!
I am also 11dpo, negative and AF on Wednesday, but like really PMS only, not as usual with pregnancy (even no symptoms was good)

UnderstatedElegance · 14/07/2023 21:36

Good luck ladies, 14 dpo here, af due today, not Saturday as I first thought. Absolutely no symptoms. Af was late last month so with the travel down to South America I imagine it will have disrupted my cycle a bit.

@bunnynbear - you still have time on your side for this month so I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

@TT82 wishing you all of the luck for your treatment

@bookworm100 praying af doesn't arrive weds and you get your bfp soon!

TT82 · 14/07/2023 22:00

@UnderstatedElegance thank you 🙏❤️

bunnynbear · 15/07/2023 06:52

@bookworm100 I'm also 12dpo today but af is due on Thursday. No signs of pregnancy or af for me.

@UnderstatedElegance have my 🤞🏼that af didn't come and wont come this cycle. Whenever I've travelled abroad and it's a long flight and different time zone it's always messed up my cycle but hopefully yours isn't too bad.

@TT82 have you tested again today? Or will you just wait til weds? How you feeling?

I tested this morning and it was bfn. The weird metallic taste was very bad yesterday but this morning I don't have it so think it's gone. My hopes are fading quick now.

How's everyone doing?

TT82 · 15/07/2023 07:29

@bunnynbear hi, no didn't test as no point, very clear PMS symptoms 😔
Only if I start having at least some hint on pregnancy symptoms might test
Let's hope your AF doesn't arrive! Having no symptoms for AF is also a good sign 🤞🏻

bunnynbear · 15/07/2023 15:41

Guys I need your eyes please. I tested again (as some smells were irritating me) and I think I have a second vvvvfl.

I don't know if it's an indent or a faint positive. It came up in 3-4 mins. It looks more pinkish in real life.

I've attached it by itself and also next to the one k took this morning.

4DPO yet again, are you with me?

@bunnynbear OMG it is positive!!!! ❤️

TT82 · 15/07/2023 17:06

@bunnynbear they both are! Do a digital!! 🤞🏻

UnderstatedElegance · 15/07/2023 17:12

@bunnynbear that's definitely a line!!! Congratulations 🥳

bunnynbear · 15/07/2023 18:45

@TT82 @UnderstatedElegance oh thank you! I really hope so. It's very faint so im a little anxious and just hoping the hcg builds up. I want to wait until it's slightly darker before doing a digital one in case i miscarry again. 🤞🏼tomorrow it's darker

OP posts:
bunnynbear · 16/07/2023 07:13

Tested last night using other cheap tests but it didn't show up. Tested again this morning on easy@home strip and it's still vvvfl, barely visible. So still being cautious.
