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?

@bunnynbear I know what you mean about the weather 🙈😅
We definitely cannot complain with DH we don't have enough "together time" at our age 😆 keeps the middle age crisis under control

Does anyone get a dull ache after ovulation? I’ve noticed it the last few cycles and don’t ever remember having it before. Not a pregnancy symptom unfortunately too early this cycle.

4/5 DPO today, nice busy weekend to keep me occupied and stop me testing too early

TT82 · 30/06/2023 17:17

@Giles1008 hi, I think I have it, but it can be that I am listening too much and know almost each day what is happening 🤦🏻‍♀️ so it can be my imagination.
I have it like 3-4 dpo when I think my progesterone is up, also on top i start taking additional progesterone on that day, so can be related. That's when my bbt really goes up.
Also I really feel when progesterone drops down around week before due AF..

TT82 · 30/06/2023 17:21

@Giles1008 and fingers crossed for this cycle!!!! Baby dust ❤️

I am still waiting for ovulation day... 😒 My mil and husband's cousin with a baby coming to visit us for a month! This Sunday... so better ovulation comes before...

Giles1008 · 30/06/2023 17:27

@TT82 thanks, maybe that’s it when progesterone is rising it’s definitely there. Not painful just achy. When is ovulation due?

I’m sort of guessing I ovulated this month because I didn’t get a positive OPK 🤞🏻🤞🏻 baby dust to us both!

TT82 · 30/06/2023 17:35

@Giles1008 last 3 cycles was cd12, so tomorrow.. but cb test negative and cm not there yet.. But last one was chemical so maybe messed it a bit 🤷🏻‍♀️
Bbt still down too, have you tried monitoring it? It gives me such a good overview and works the best for me, learnt a lot about my cycle

bunnynbear · 01/07/2023 08:03

It looks like I didn't ovulate this cycle. I thought I was having a surge yesterday but it dropped drastically. Do you guys think I missed it or it didn't happen? I usually have the LH surge on cd16/17. Feel really gutted

Sorry this is the one including this morning testing

@bunnynbear i have never used this app, but 2 tests on cd17 looks very high to me! Lines are clear dark, not sure why it says low! Fingers crossed that was the ovulation
I have sometimes very short rapid increase and down, so if I didn't test like that window wouldn't notice (bbt chart though would show very nice increase and after ovulation pattern). So don't get upset!! ❤️

I am still with low temperature, cb test shows just circle no smily.. so yeah, might be after cp my ovaries decided to rest. Just upset as it is last before ivf)

DmcinT · 01/07/2023 09:20

@bunnynbear I’d imagine u did but just missed it in those few hrs? My darkest when I conceived this time was in the 0.7’s but I must have missed the peak a hr or 2 later so I deff wouldn’t worry. DTD and ur into the TWW 💃🏼🎉 fingers crossed 🤞🏽

bunnynbear · 01/07/2023 09:46

@TT82 @DmcinT thank you both that's reassuring. Usually mine shoots up about 1.6-1.8 and it happens over the course of a day so this is the first time it was so quick and short and I didn't have the usually CM. The line usually gets super strong but I agree it does look high and not low as per the app. I guess I'll be 1dpo tomorrow then?

@TT82 I've tried the bbt but because my waking pattern is all over the place I struggled with it. I also found that my miscarriage messed me up, even this cycle (third cycle since) i had the lh surge later than expected. 🤞🏼you get it this afternoon or before the family comes!

OP posts:
DmcinT · 01/07/2023 10:43

@bunnynbear yeah MC deff changes things slightly so u could have had a quick surge this month for sure. If u caught it around 12/1 it could very likely have been over 1. So yeah O is most likely today so ur 1 dpo tomorr. And so the TWW starts… 🙃

bunnynbear · 02/07/2023 06:38

@DmcinT I think I ended up having a lh surge! It started to increase again yesterday afternoon which I manage to catch. By the time I went to sleep it was 1.16, it must've peaked when I was asleep! So I've ovulated much later than I usually do. Managed to dtd yesterday and will try today too! The weather has cooled down so made that easier 😊

@bunnynbear 🎉 good news!!! Now wishing patience over next week ❤️

bunnynbear · 02/07/2023 09:38

@TT82 thanks! How's the bbt? Have you got your smiley yet?

OP posts:
DmcinT · 02/07/2023 09:40

@bunnynbear ah great news 🎉 delighted u caught it in the end, it’s reassuring to see it ☺️ So O is today then 💃🏼💃🏼

TT82 · 02/07/2023 10:53

@bunnynbear no not yet.. only today cm at least is promising, so maybe just late O this cycle.. I run out of tests! 😅 was so trying to get it

TT82 · 02/07/2023 11:02

@bunnynbear yay ignore my previous message! Found one more test (was removing my pregnancy tests etc from bathroom so family doesn't see tgen once they are here) - and got a smiley 😅 Good my husband said lack of smiley on my test doesn't mean we need to change our pattern 😆

bunnynbear · 02/07/2023 16:20

@TT82 That's great! 🤞🏼for you. Hopefully you'll have time before the family come or they don't interfere with your window!

@DmcinT you won't believe it but this morning it started to go down (was 0.8) and then a few hours later I tested and it went up to 2.1! So ovulation is tomorrow (cd20 which is late for me). How are you doing? How are the symptoms?

OP posts:
DmcinT · 02/07/2023 16:46

@bunnynbear that’s mad, has that happened u before? U also could have ovulated multiple times (twins 😅)

symptoms have deff ramped up the last 2 days, feeling kinda nauseous just all the time now, food helps for a small bit but not as much anymore

bunnynbear · 03/07/2023 06:48

@DmcinT twins, I wish! Its never happened like this before, its never been this late or so high, I usually get the peak at CD15/16. I'm hoping the later ovulation doesn't work against me but tomorrow is 1DPO!

OP posts:
TT82 · 03/07/2023 07:23

@bunnynbear same here! Late and dragging 🙈 looks like today or at night O should come, so I will keep you a company to worry during tww ☺️

bunnynbear · 03/07/2023 07:32

@TT82 thats great! does yours usually come late or is this unusual for you? DH is convinced that this is THE month but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

OP posts:
TT82 · 03/07/2023 07:35

Last 2 years my cycle got shorter 26-28 days and O by 12th.... So this late like 14-15 is now unusual. But last was cp so probably all messed up

Laylattc · 03/07/2023 13:50

Glad you had your peak @bunnynbear

i don’t know what’s happening with my O this month.

I had what I thought was a peak at cd16 and supposed to be 7dpo but lh has started rising twice again since then and now I don’t even know if I’ve ovulated at all. App has registered both the mini surges afterwards as “high” but didn’t reach the previous peak unless I’ve missed it. Lines look super dark on actual tests.

can anyone make sense of this please? Xx
