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?

Good luck with the testing today @Plumbibii.
I've no tests left in the house :(
No AF this morning, although I've got cramps. I've got a Longhaul flight on Thursday, so I'm wishing AF to hurry up now.
How's everyone else fairing?

Thank you. I tested bfn on morning wee on strip. I am not willing to spend money on expensive tests as i don't really have any diff symptoms other than normal PMS. Af due on Thursday. Looking forward to next cycle. Wish you all the best for your flight and hopefully AF doesn't show up.
@bunnynbear fingers crossed AF doesn't show up. X

bunnynbear · 14/06/2023 05:46

Morning everyone! How's everyone doing?

Well plot twist for me. My cycles are like clockwork and af always comes on the day expected around the same time each cycle. Except for yesterday. I am now 16dpo, 1 day late, no af but still bfn. No signs of af but having mild symptoms. I feel like she will come with a vengeance: me and dh trying so hard not to get our hopes up.

Anyone else testing today?

Morning @bunnynbear, I tested yesterday again and bfn. Pretty sure af will arrive today as I've had some spotting. Just in time for my flight tomorrow 🤦‍♀️

TT82 · 14/06/2023 09:08

@bunnynbear Hi everyone, yeah did a test - BFN as expected...as no symptoms at all. Only have sensitive breasts like PMS and that's it. AF due on Sunday-Monday, kind of still time but I am sure not this cycle.
I will do a final check tomorrow at 12dpo as need to stop progesterone, but after that's it

Good luck to everyone and hope this/next cycle will be a successful one!

bunnynbear · 14/06/2023 15:20

So I'm out. Af came this morning. So onto the next cycle!

Plumbibii · 14/06/2023 20:41

Good luck for the next cycle @bunnynbear @foulplay
Af due tomorrow. Have been having normal period pains. Hoping Af comes on time, really can't deal with anymore of this cycle🫠

DmcinT · 14/06/2023 20:52

@bunnynbear @foulplay sorry to see af has arrived, sending love for the next cycle 🙏🏽🤞🏽✨👶🏼

TT82 · 15/06/2023 05:32

Morning, so I tested thinking last time, but got this shade line for the first time. Usually getting pitch white.
This was on CB and not early one.. Probably need to check tomorrow still 😅
Or maybe these progesterone pills messing up the results 🤷🏻‍♀️
I am 12 dpo (or 11 on another app), AF should be Sunday-Monday

TT82 · 15/06/2023 05:34

And the photo... I think it is this evaporation or something. As definitely I would have more symptoms as usual 🤷🏻‍♀️

4DPO yet again, are you with me?
foulplay · 15/06/2023 10:06

Ahh, sorry to hear that @bunnynbear. It must be a relief to know either way. It's all the waiting around that's the most difficult. Still no af here. I'm still testing negative. It's all very odd. I'm wondering if it's stress related. I'm working away from home for the next 9 days and I'm dreading it.

@TT82 it looks like a positive to me,
However I've never used a clear blue before so I'm not sure what their evap lines look like. Fingers crossed it's a bfp.

SimplyChic · 15/06/2023 10:12

Hi everyone!

I should be 1dpo today. I got my first ever positive OPK on Tuesday morning. I started to worry they didn't work for me 🤦

I'm hoping it's a good sign, plus I had some weird stomach discomfort for a while later that day.

TMI but I'm hoping we DTD enough as we just got back from our honeymoon so it wasn't done until yesterday afternoon and last Sunday 😳

Oh no 🙈 now will continue testing, need to get better ones
Also already worrying that it is chemical as definitely symptoms should be stronger 😬
Will keep you updated

TT82 · 15/06/2023 17:11

😱😱😱😱 just did digital CB... and got 1-2 weeks!
But I really don't feel like pregnancy symptoms, more PMS!
Oh now I won't relax as being 41 and having 3 chemical already.... 🥺

Please don't congratulate...now I need blood test and at least 2 weeks after predicted AF

Will update you xx

4DPO yet again, are you with me?
bunnynbear · 15/06/2023 17:29

@TT82 omg! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 how soon can you get blood test done and results?

@foulplay yeah that's exactly it. But af this time round has been hard. I feel very much out of commission, it's the first proper one since my miscarriage. Last af I was still miscarrying. Af did come back with a vengeance and I've been in bed most of the day. Awww i feel for you. I'm hoping you get your answer soon.

@SimplyChic congrats on the wedding! As long as you dtd during your fertile window you have a chance. How were you keeping track of ovulation?

TT82 · 15/06/2023 18:02

@bunnynbear Oh I don't know here...everything so slow..
I think I will wait till Monday, if AF doesn't arrive will email them what is next..
xx

foulplay · 16/06/2023 11:22

AF arrived this morning - so that's me out this month. Onwards and upwards. Good luck everyone x

TT82 · 16/06/2023 13:17

@foulplay huggs and baby dust for next cycle ❤️

@bunnynbear hospital told me to come for a first appointment on the 6th of July...and that I don't need other tests or progesterone control.. oh woul need just get mysel busy no to think xx

SimplyChic · 16/06/2023 18:04

@bunnynbear thank you! And I'm using OPK's. I got these positives through Tuesday and Wednesday so I'm assuming I ovulated yesterday if all went ok.

Although I have tender breasts today, hurt while moving at work and some weird cramps still.

I don't seem to ovulate regularly so I was so pleased to see it. GP suspects PCOS 😊. How are you getting on?

4DPO yet again, are you with me?

bunnynbear · 16/06/2023 20:03

@foulplay baby dust, will be with you on the next cycle too!

@SimplyChic do you use any apps? I use Premom for the strips (don't need to use Premom strips) and it tells you the ratio of the lines so it's easier to pinpoint when you ovulate. I've found it very helpful

OP posts:
SimplyChic · 16/06/2023 20:10

@bunnynbear yes I do as well. It said it was about 1 but prior to this at most, I only ever caught it get up to about 0.54 so I was shocked to see it finally so high and was beginning to get concerned. I've tried it for a little while but I still use my Flo app 🙂 I do use the Premom ones as I didn't before and I definitely found it harder. How has your experience been using it?

DHB · 17/06/2023 12:17

@TT82 Fingers crossed for your blood results!! It’s an anxious time isn’t it, but hopefully this one sticks 💗

Plumbibii · 18/06/2023 12:19

I am now on day 36 of my cycle and no Af and testing BFN.

I had 36 days long cycle last year in August and 38 days long in October.
So not surprised at irregular cycle as i get odd months like this here and there.

Just wondering if your Af ends up being a week late, does it mean you ovulated late that month too?

TT82 · 18/06/2023 13:25

I am having a chemical 😔 Friday-Saturday had full pregnancy symptoms, heavy boobs, frequent need to go to toilet, a few positive digital tests.. Started even having some hope.. But today lost sensitivity in my breasts first, then got really irritated like fast PMS and now 2 tests digital - negative
Now just to wait for periods to come. I am in pieces, looks I don't have good eggs even if they say reserve is very good for age 🥺
I lost hope that even IVF will help

@TT82 I'm so sorry. It's really hard and it takes such a toll on you mentally, emotionally and physically. It's such a horrible thing to happen. I hope you'll be able to take some time for yourself. I know it's difficult to do but please try be kind to yourself too x
