4DPO yet again, are you with me?

[bunnynbear]

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?

@bunnynbear i’m 14DPO today no AF but a bfn yesterday evening so didn’t test again.

I’ve been using some cheapies because my FRER arrives today but I should see something if I was actually pregnant.

Thought I must have miscalculated ovulation but looking back on Flo my luteal phase is 14-16DPO so could arrive at late as Sunday.

@bunnynbear could it be implantation? How long are you cycles normally?

12 dpo here, no symptoms apart from the usual pre af cramps. Day 26 of my cycle. AF has arrived a couple of days early at day 27 the last two months, so I wonder if this month will be the same.

@bunnynbear you're definitely not out yet, it could be implantation - so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@ManchesterRoad it's definitely possible to get a bfp the first month, I've had it.

Good luck to all.

I know I shouldn’t have I’m only 9/10 dpo but oc I tested this morning and I’m prob imagining this but I think I see the faintest line? Or am I going crazy

@Giles1008 1008 my cycles are always 32 days. I use Flo and also premom app and both are bang on for calculating my ovulation and AF. I use two types of OPK (clearblue advance 4 days and premom). AF comes 14-15 dpo so similar to yours. I used the cheap premoms to test yesterday but I will use FRER tomorrow at 12dpo.

@foulplay play thank you! my cynical realistic brain says its not implantation as it was very little in the discharge but enough to see there was blood if that makes sense. but yes mindset should be not out until AF arrives!!

@DmcinT do you take a pic after the colour has settled? i see something but not sure if that's the dye settling, indent line or vvfl. i hope this is good news for you

9DPO today - no cramping so far and no more spotting so I’m hoping I’m still in the game.

Planning to wait until next Saturday before testing again but it will be difficult as every morning DH comes downstairs and asks if I have done a test 😂 no pressure or anything!

@bunnynbear yeah I’m thinking it’s a dodgy test, I’ll wait until tomorrow and try again🙈 so silly testing today anyways, I know myself it’s just too early.

Hi everyone,

feeling a bit sad today, another indent on a first response for the fourth day in a row. BFN’s on clearblue 6 day early and easy@home strip.

11dpo and af due on Sunday, think I must be out this month as surely something more would have shown on the three tests I did this morning.

@Laylattc oh I’m so sorry, it’s such a cruel journey of ups and downs. The indents or evaps are just awful, I think my test this morning was prob dodgy giving me false hope too.

although I was still negative at 11 dpo last time, it’s was 12 before I got my positive so ur deff not out 🤞🏽🤞🏽 How are feeling symptom wise?

@bunnynbear No further symptoms, although I usually get heavy boobies and nausea around 7 weeks so I’ve got a while yet. I managed to get confirmed on a clear blue digital yesterday, 1-2 weeks 😊

How are you doing?

I’m keeping an eye on these posts and still have my fingers crossed for more bfps!

I am 8dpo today and don't have many symptoms. I felt bit nauseated in the morning yesterday, but I chart my symptoms every month, and i do have a feeling of nausea around 7dpo in my previous cycles so not thinking much of it.
Lack of sore boobs and not much cm is making me lose hope. I have had constant headaches for the past 3 days, that's the only new symptom i have going on this month.
I was planning on testing at 12dpo but now thinking of waiting until after hopefully i miss my period. Not sure if i am ready for disappointment.
Wishing all the luck to you lovely ladies.🩷

@DmcinT so sorry you’re going through this too and had a dodgy test this morning. The not knowing is so stressful.

I didn’t even know indents were a thing and hadn’t had them ever even on frer previously but now I’ve had four in a row and it got my hopes up as it’s the first time I’d seen a line since my loss and thought it must mean something but apparently indents are a thing a lot of people experience :(

i always thought if it wasn’t a faint but obvious line by 11dpo then I’m out but it’s nice hearing people can get their bfp’s 12dpo onwards. We’re all still in with a chance until af comes I guess!

symptom wise I’ve felt exhausted all week, really tired today, cramping on and off all week felt nauseous the last couple of days too but I’m really not sure if my indents have been playing with my head and I was starting to convince myself it was the start of something so who knows.

how are you feeling?

Looks like AF has arrived so that’s me out.

I expected my cycles to be a bit out of whack for a few months after stopping the pill but ngl I’m a little bit gutted.

At least DH and I will be able to enjoy Amsterdam to the max next wk 🙃 sending you all baby dust and best wishes xx

@CrazyCatMom im sorry af has arrived, it’s only normal to feel a bit gutted about it, we spend so long in the TWW wondering and thinking and hoping so it’s such a disappointment when u see a bfn or af shows up. Send hugs ❤️❤️

@Laylattc ive never had an indent or evap/ dodgy test and I was testing everyday for nearly 6 weeks after my MC to get a negative test.. it’s so typical I would get one now (or maybe it’s not and I am actually pgn😅🙈) I’d say if it is my bfp it’ll not properly darken until Sunday/Monday which would have been the same dpo on my last pregnancy. 🤞🏽🤞🏽

similar to u I’ve been v tired.. napped a few days around 5/6/7 dpo and yest and today I deff find I’m quite teary, even thinking on the last few months is making me well up. Lower tummy quite swollen too or maybe I’ve put on a bit of weight 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

@CrazyCatMom its always disappointing with AF comes, its alright to feel gutted, it can get tiring repeating the cycle but when AF comes, so does a new cycle and another chance. I hope you enjoy Amsterdam with DH to the max!

@DHB that's great news about the digital test. I hope you have a smooth pregnancy. Im a little worried/disappointed that AF may come after I saw a little blood in discharge this morning but holding onto the fact that nothing has started since then and im not due for another 5 days. Im trying not to get paranoid over it.

@Plumbibii I didnt notice any symptoms when i got a bfp. the only thing that i realised was that i had lost my appetite. every pregnancy is different so we never will know what symptoms are pregnancy related or not until a bfp. the best (and not easiest) thing we can do is relax and not stress. when is af due for you? I've never been able to wait until 12dpo, you have been self control then i do!

@DmcinT yesterday i didnt go work cos was so tired. i then took a nap during the day and slept 3 hours! it messed me up at night tho and hardly slept. I understand how you feel about thinking of the past, i had to go to the hospital on monday for unrelated matters but it was the same hospital i went when i miscarried. my word, the rest of this week I've been like you, getting teary eyes and crying, feeling overly sensitive to things. So please know , you're not alone.

@Laylattc I've just stuck to using premom or easy@home tests until closer to af coming but its never easy seeing indents especially when its FR or CB, apparently they are suppose to be more reliable then the stick tests. tww is really a rollercoaster and to add a loss to the mixture makes it more difficult. I'm hoping you get good news on your 12 dpo.

@bunnynbear Well if you’re still 5 days away from AF being due, it could be implantation spotting perhaps! Fingers crossed AF stays away :)

@bunnynbear Af due on 15th June based on 32 days cycle but some months I have 30 day cycle. I am trying to stay relaxed but it's so hard not to keep thinking about it when all your senses are focused on ttc😀.
Thank you for the positivity. Hope it's implementation bleeding for you and AF doesn't show up. All the best 🤍

@bunnynbear thanks for the support, I honestly have found these chat forums Amazing over the last few months, it’s so easy to feel so alone in all this but having women that are going through the exact same thing to talk to has made it easier❤️

so.. I thought I could hold out until tomorr to test again but turns out I have zero willpower😂
so this was after abt 4 hr hold, I had bits of water and 2 ice creams so was prob still a bit diluted but I think I see it more than this morning anyways, thoughts?

Hi, I do see it!!!!! Fingers crossed it will get darker ❤️

I am 6dpo but no symptoms at all :( Have 2 kids, old now, but really trying for 3d.. Had 3 chemical last year, then nothing and now waiting for IVF to start in August.. due to age - I am 41 and like chasing the last train.
So was hoping maybe this time it is.. but doesn't look like, usually my boobs are the earliest symptom.
Good luck to you all xx

@DmcinT I see it! I see it! Oh I'm going to be impatiently waiting for morning and having all fingers crossed that you have a stronger line!

@TT82 welcome! You've been through a lot, I'm sorry for the struggle you've been through. sending baby dust to you. I'm hoping this cycle for you is the one too! I haven't had any symptoms until today which is slight cramping but I think it's more in mind. How you finding this tww?

@DmcinT I see it 🤞🏻hopefully it’s stronger today.

AF arrived yesterday for me, CD30 so I’m sort of happy. I was worried I was getting OPKs all wrong and wasn’t ovulating. One more month, CD2 hoping to a beautiful March baby and sibling for my DS 🥰.

How is everyone else doing?

@bunnynbear Thank you for your nice words!
I was trying not symptom-watch this cycle....but of course I do! :(( I know that waiting stress during IVF process is worse (what I have learnt from forum already), so cannot complain.
Have a nice weekend everyone xx

Morning Everyone! How's everyone doing?

@Giles1008 sorry to hear that but it is reassuring news that you got the OPKs were working properly. New cycle, another chance!

I haven't tested yet, 12dpo today. DH left home before I woke up and he wants to be here when I test so have to wait til this afternoon. I don't have high hopes. No symptoms at all. Any if the mild cramps I had have gone and now thinking maybe it's been all in my head. Expecting a bfn. Will keep you all posted. Enjoy the lovely sun out and remember to take care of yourselves!

@bunnynbear morning! Omg I am feeling the same. I am due AF today and I honestly feel asif I'm out already. I had cramps at 10dpo and nothing since nothing at all. Boobs swollen like normal AF symptom, I don't have much hope so I haven't tested ☹ .. I'm wishing you all the best though for your test today, you never know, it may be 2 lines! How are you feeling? Xx
