Anyone else currently in TWW? I’m 4dpo and anxiously waiting until I can test.

I am currently trying to conceive my 3rd baby. I have 2 girls who are 6 and 8. And I’m desperately hoping they to see a positive test
My periods have been very irregular for the past year or so. But got a positive ovulation test on Sunday morning and have done BD with hubby last Wed, Saturday night and Monday night.
🤞🤞

Im also anxious because as ridiculous as it sounds I’ve had 2 online readings from 2 different psychics last month, one said I would conceive in November and give birth in August and one said September and December would be important months. Now I can’t get it out of my head that I won’t convince until the end of the year (if that even happens) 🙈🙈

I had no problems conceiving my first two girls 6 and 8 years ago, happen on first try both times so I am desperately hoping it will be the same this time. I am 30 now so still young.

sorry for the long read! X

Happy Friday all!
9dpo and no symptoms apart from being sooo tired but have woken up full of cold so it's probably that. I also feel really emotional and tearful but that's probably my personality LOL!
I won't be testing at all I've decided I'm just going to wait for my period x

That’s a good idea! Saves the heartache from the tests! Xx

@Aisling1010 are you testing today?

I'm 11dpo - tested yesterday and BFN not even a shadow of a line so a bit down.

I am having sharp twinges and sore boobs but also at this point dont know if im imagining it. I'm going to try to refrain today - seeing that negative is so triggering.

@AG1993 - I have through my scrolling of millions of posts seen many people get BFN on day 11/12 and then still go on to get positives at 14 etc. I think it depends on when you implanted. Although saying this -i tested negative at 10dpo and feel like i'm out this month.

You’re right it is so triggering! I hadn’t planned on testing today but I couldn’t resist this morning. Totally negative not even a shadow!

I have the symptoms! Very mild! X

Im so sorry @Aisling1010 - bfns are cruel.

I did a workout this morning and had a load more brown spotting afterwards and now more cramps. Obviously really hoping it’s related to implantation but I think increasingly likely I’m just gearing up to a weird and shitty period after my mc. Uncertainty is the absolute worst though.

Alex900 · 19/04/2024 15:25

I’m looking for some reassurance ladies. I’m 3dpo first time TTC since a decade ago. My ovulation date according to period tracker was 16th but fertile window 11-17th I DTD everyday but on the 15th during DTD my usual ovulation cramps started. I have ovulation pain every month and my period tracker has been right on guesstimated period days barring one either side for the last 7year barring one cycle. I felt cramping yesterday in my abdomen and have cramps like shooting pains down there today. My right nipple hurts when touched I can’t help but feel like I’m fully overthinking the whole being pregnant thing and I’m looking for things that may or may not be a “sign” I don’t think I would get caught this month with it being the first time actively trying guess I’m just overly hopeful 🤷🏼‍♀️

JumpinJellyfish · 19/04/2024 15:55

Hi @Alex900 have a look at this article - the diagram is especially helpful:

https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/implantation

Implantation usually happens between 6-10dpo (most often 8-9dpo). Before that the egg is just floating through your body! It’s impossible to get any symptoms of pregnancy before implantation, so if you are 3dpo the symptoms can’t be related to that (if you are right about when you ovulated). Maybe it is delayed ovulation pain?

Best of luck this month!

Elisabeth3468 · 19/04/2024 17:27

@Aisling1010 it's still very early and those strips aren't great to be honest...
this is why I'm not testing though, I cannot bare to see that one line.
My boobs are achy today which is very unusual for me but it's probably my body gearing up for a period. I really don't get my hopes up after the journey we've had. Period is due next Friday. I'm away on holiday Monday to Friday. So if no period I'll test on Saturday when I get back. I'm sure it will come right on time though.
I sound so pessimistic but just after what I've been through it protects my heart.

JumpinJellyfish · 19/04/2024 18:26

Think I’m out as blood is now red.

Really weird as looks like AF is actually early, and I never usually spot before it arrives…I guess things are still weird after the mc. Onwards and upwards to the next cycle and good luck all!

Sorry to hear 😢 it does seem to be very early though your 9dpo right? X

at least you can relax and enjoy your holiday! Where are you heading to? 🙂

Posted this on the TTC New year babies thread as well. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of this happening to someone in early pregnancy but does make me wonder…

So this is a bit weird and may not mean anything, but I am 7DPO today, stopped breastfeeding DS1 over 7 months ago, and tonight noticed some milk leaking out of one boob 🥴 very strange.

Aisling1010 · 19/04/2024 19:41

Yes I am, but it’s CD28 because I ovulated late. My cycles are normally 29-30 days with a 13 day luteal phase so I was expecting AF to arrive CD33 this time but maybe it’s just decided to come now.

Then again, there’s been no more bleeding for a few hours which also makes no sense - my periods usually start heavy and then tail off whereas this time I’ve had pink cm, brown cm, pink blood. But the mc could well have just messed everything up.

Plumchumm · 19/04/2024 21:38

9dpo and had bfn today. I know it’s early but I have a bad feeling :(

I had cramps all last night so I thought that would have been implantation

JumpinJellyfish · 19/04/2024 21:44

@Plumchumm it’s usually 48hrs from implantation before there is enough hcg to show up on a test, so if it was last night for you then today definitely too early to test.

Optimistic66 · 20/04/2024 06:11

Had a BBT temp drop and two white tests with FMU so safe to say I think AF will be making her appearance tomorrow.

Sad to be out and feel like this has ruined my day. 😭😭

@Optimistic66 sorry to hear that 😢 it’s truly devastating seeing those white tests.
I haven’t been checking BBT for anything but white test this morning for me too with FMU at 12dpo 😢

Elisabeth3468 · 20/04/2024 08:30

@Aisling1010 thank you ! We are just going down to Dorset for 5 days with my little one and my mum xxxx

moosey89 · 20/04/2024 08:37

@Elisabeth3468 thank you! I am honestly in shock. I have had sore boobs and last night felt exhausted but it's been a manic week and I put it down to that.... Just have to take it one day at a time now. I'm not excited like I was before (I guess loss does that to you) but I'm also not terrified of what might go wrong which I'm surprised at because I usually catastrophise everything haha

deliwoman1 · 20/04/2024 08:53

@Aisling1010 and @Optimistic66 , I’m so sorry. It’s not the end until AF shows but I know what it’s like to feel so deflated.

@moosey89 congrats! No doubt a positive. What dpo are you today?

I’m feeling very on the fence about my chances of success with this pregnancy. Everything seemed so much more definitive by this point with my DD.

8 DPO today looks like hopefully a promising BFP

@MaybeBaby2024 wow for 8dpo that's a good line, congratulations!

Elisabeth3468 · 20/04/2024 11:14

Stupidly decided to test after all your positives !!! I'm 10dpo but this is with the 3rd wee of the day and big fat negative. I know in my heart it's not my month 💔

Two week wait anyone?
