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?

@DmcinT thank you! Still holding my breath until the line gets darker. It's appeared faintly on three tests so 🤞🏼 I may do a FRER tomorrow morning. How you been keeping? How's the symptoms?

BFN on 13DPO for me, AF due Wednesday. Do we think it's still possible or unlikely now?

DmcinT · 16/07/2023 12:13

@bunnynbear everything crossed now for those lines getting darker, will u do a digital then in a day or 2? How are u feeling, any symptoms yet?

im doing ok, just over 9 weeks, had a scan a few days ago & saw the heart beat and everything looked as it should so I’m trying to process that it’s real and let myself get excited about it, finding that hard after the MMC but I’ll get there and please god all will be ok. I’ve another scan now at almost 10 weeks so 🤞🏽❤️

TT82 · 16/07/2023 13:11

@bunnynbear fully understand! 🙏 all will be good this time ❤️

TT82 · 16/07/2023 13:20

@bookworm100 in my case if BFN on 13po..then no chance... Like this cycle definitely out though AF due on Wednesday.
But as many would say - till AF comes there's always a small chance 🤞🏻

TT82 · 16/07/2023 13:21

@DmcinT such a nice news!! 🥰 all the best at the next scan

bunnynbear · 16/07/2023 16:25

@DmcinT I'm praying for you to have a healthy baby. It sounds exciting and scary at the same time.

I keep thinking they are false positives or that they won't get darker. This week will be hard and DH is away this week so that makes it harder.

I had a funky taste in my mouth for two days and that's stopped and my smell was more sensitive but now nothing. I do feel super tired, just woke up from a 2 hour nap! I think the anxiousness is also making me queasy.

@bookworm100 yeah it's not out until af comes and it also depends on your luteal cycle. I usually know I'm out at 12/13dpo. I always find these last few days before af comes the most agonising but 🤞🏼 for you!

@TT82 im very scared. I was gonna test tomorrow but I think I may leave it a few days in case it's bfn. How you feeling? Does it still feel like pms symptoms? I'm still hoping af doesn't come for you

OP posts:
TT82 · 16/07/2023 16:52

@bunnynbear yeah, no full breasts or anything, just feeling like AF is in a few days...
Maybe indeed better wait till digital..so you don't kill yourself with the doubts and line reading 🤞🏻

TT82 · 18/07/2023 11:11

Hi, AF is here, starting my ivf pills tomorrow...

Wishing all the best and baby dust to everyone in this group xx

bunnynbear · 18/07/2023 11:35

@TT82 sorry to hear that. I hope the IVF goes well. Sending baby dust your way. Hoping to hear good news from you soon x

@Lemonbell I see maybe a shadow of a line on the bottom one but I can't be sure if it's positive or indent. Have my 🤞🏼 that over the next few days it gets darker. Did you use fmu?

OP posts:
bunnynbear · 19/07/2023 11:37

Just as an update from me. I tested yesterday afternoon and fmu today using strips and frer. Strips are still vvvvfl but have gotten darker and thicker from sat, just at a very slow pace. Frer I've attached the tests, there's 2 lines but not that dark, todays was more pinkish and came up quicker. Af is due tomorrow and im hoping it gets darker by Friday. Still worried I may miscarry.

4DPO yet again, are you with me?
OP posts:
TT82 · 19/07/2023 13:06

@bunnynbear very good lines!!!!! Maybe do a pause with testing...like a week, as lines are nice and you need a break with worries and relax a bit ❤️

TT82 · 19/07/2023 13:07

@Lemonbell i also see a line.. light but I can see it 🤞🏻

bunnynbear · 19/07/2023 13:42

@TT82 thank you, I needed to hear that. I was worried that the lines were not dark enough for 15/16dpo but af is not due until tomorrow. I wasn't planning on testing again until sun (when DH is back and doing a digital then). I would also be 5w4d which is a day more than the last time I was pregnant. lets hope I have the patience to wait!

OP posts:
TT82 · 19/07/2023 13:52

@bunnynbear i think only when you are over 40 then cp or mc are high chance.. I had my first cp before my son, then was successful pregnancy after.
All will be good this time! This testing wont bring anything good just worry and stress.. You know that you cannot control it, hopefully you can get 6w+ scan, that is when you will get reassurance 🙏❤️

TT82 · 19/07/2023 13:54

@bunnynbear I can worry for you 😅 As I started reading all IVF posts etc and got sooooo stressful that all those problems I will definitely have. My DH said he will block MN fully, so for now only reading this group messages ☺️

@Lemonbell I'd still wait before counting yourself out. I'm also using the easy@home strips and they were still super faint without any progress from sat to yesterday but the first response was like that which is stronger than the last pregnancy for me. when is af due for you? its a difficult waiting game but still have 🤞🏼 for you.

@TT82 thank you, sending ❤your way. I've stopped testing. today af is due but dont feel like its coming. tomorrow will be 5w3d which is when i miscarried last time. so today and tomorrow I feel a little anxious but trying to keep positive. have you started taking the meds yet for IVF? how you feeling?

OP posts:
TT82 · 20/07/2023 10:37

@Lemonbell thank you!

From experience with lots of cp....better stop testing.. It will drive you mad, you cannot control it and if it is cp it will show sooner or later. But if not (and fingers crossed for this one 🤞🏻) you will be calmer and have good memories in future
❤️

TT82 · 20/07/2023 10:40

@bunnynbear glad to hear it!!

Starting taking these pills today, that block all sex hormones.... People say this period the worst 😬 Having first scan when back from trip on the 28th, then they will decide on injections and dummy transfer test - I guess they are testing where to put.. Hmmmm most important we have what to transfer 🤦🏻‍♀️

TT82 · 21/07/2023 09:47

How's everyone doing?
I was told by clinic they can move our cycle earlier and we start stimulation on the 3d. And egg collection week 14-18! 😱 At first started panicking...but the realised fewer days on thus horrible pill (mood so down like indeed 1cd) and then we can start another cycle earlier too (while we wait for genetic testing)..
my DH was a but upset there's no this fertile window week 😆

bunnynbear · 21/07/2023 11:06

@TT82 that's exciting! how you feeling about it? how soon after you get the result from the genetic testing can you then try? sorry my knowledge of the process is limited.

I'm doing ok. I have hardly any symptoms save for exhaustion. been going sleep at 8pm most nights but I'm up at 4:30 for work! I feel less anxious and more calmer. I feel like this one will stick!

haven't heard from others who were messaging last cycle. i hope they are all doing ok and taking care of themselves. sending baby dust to all x

Congratulations @bunnynbear - so happy to hear of your good news!

I am on CD3 of cycle 3, although we have a busy month ahead so unsure if we will get chance to try this cycle.

hope everyone is ok!
