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

Ffs just went to the loo and have a load of pinky browny tinged cm. I have never had this before - with some of my pregnancies I had implantation bleeding but it was just spotting, no cm, and when I’m not pregnant I don’t get any cm before my period starts.

I’ve got cramps now as well and it really feels like period is on its way but it’s not due until next week. Really confused 🫤

moosey89 · 18/04/2024 14:34

@JumpinJellyfish really hope that it's a good sign! When is af due?

JumpinJellyfish · 18/04/2024 14:39

@moosey89 I’m not quite sure - my cycles are normally 28-29 days with ovulation on day 15-16, so I have a 13 day luteal phase. But I had a mc in Feb and ovulated late in this cycle, around CD20.

This is CD27 so normally I’d expect AF on Friday or Saturday, but if my luteal phase stays the same (which I think it should), AF would be due next Wednesday, so I really don’t know.

Cramps are quite bad now so I think it’s probably just AF arriving early. Gutted.

I'm starting to cramp a bit too 😟 We're not out yet until it's actually here! 🤞🏻 Wishing you lotsa luck!

Optimistic66 · 18/04/2024 15:44

@Aisling1010 I would guess you ovulated monday as the first line looks darket than second on that strip.

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 18/04/2024 18:57

@Aisling1010 I'd say Monday!

Has anybody experienced an increase in CM at around 8dpo? I've noticed it today but it's weird. It's clear, not as thin as watery CM but also not quite as thick as EWCM?

deliwoman1 · 18/04/2024 19:58

@Aisling1010, I’d guess Monday night too!

Beeches24 · 18/04/2024 20:16

I'm still way too early to test but still think I'm out. I need more positive thinking. AF is apparently 8 days away.

I had implantation bleeding with my two pregnancies so would expect it again.

NattyDreamer · 18/04/2024 20:20

Hi hope it's ok to post..
Currently 3dpo, last night and today had sharp pain/twinge on right side low down that lasted about 10 seconds. I know it's too early for symptoms but I can't help it!! Also very dry down below. Anyone else had this? Hope to see some BFP's on here.. spreading baby dust to you all x

deliwoman1 · 18/04/2024 21:30

@Aisling1010 Hard to tell, could be late Monday or Tuesday. Did you have any other symptoms?

I had my peak on Monday and the usual pain later the same day, so I'm taking that as my O day.

JumpinJellyfish · 18/04/2024 21:45

@2BabyOrNot2Baby that’s exactly the kind of CM I had earlier, except it was tinged kind of browny pink.

Ive had really bad cramps all afternoon to the point I put a pad in and ate a massive bar of chocolate feeling sorry for myself, but it seems to have eased off now and no more of the spotting. Could be a good sign or could be a really weird AF after the mc 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aisling1010 · 18/04/2024 23:01

How is everyone feeling tonight? ❤️

going by Monday being my ovulation day I’m 10dpo and negative this morning and tonight

still have a tinyyy but it hope. I won’t test tomorrow will wait to Saturday.

only symptoms for me is really sore boobs still, on and off very mild cramping, nothing else really! Xxx

Aw 🤞🤞 for possible implantation bleed. Has it stopped now?

MaybeBaby2024 · 18/04/2024 23:04

@Aisling1010 Just sore boobs here. 6DPO today so wouldn’t expect to be feeling any symptoms yet.

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 19/04/2024 00:25

@JumpinJellyfish ooh that might have been an implantation bleed for you!

I've been a bit crampy tonight. They just feel like baby period pains though 😟 I've been flicking between being so, so hungry and feeling sick at the smell of some stuff. Doesn't feel anywhere near as strong as it did when pregnant with my son though so trying to pay it no mind. How have you managed to resist the urge to test 😯

Plumchumm · 19/04/2024 02:48

I woke up today 8dpo and I felt like my boobs were actually a bit less sore than normal, so I really just have a lack of symptoms. My BBT was higher though. Then later today I had some sharp cramps, but again it could just be me noticing things I normally get during a cycle. A little upsetting that there's nothing definitive or obvious - in my last two pregnancies, implantation was super noticable. The first one I had spotting, and the second one it was so painful that I definitely couldn't miss it.
It just feels like things are way too mild and normal. Will be sad to see a negative, so at this point I sort of just want it to hurry up.

Harveybelle · 19/04/2024 08:11

AF due 29th.. last few days I've been weeing more, fancying more tea than in china and been a tad achey round the waist and back.

Had a mc in Jan.. so don't want to get my hopes up!

AG1993 · 19/04/2024 08:19

I am now 11/12 dpo and still testing negative. Is this still too early or just I should wait for AF? X

@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.

AG1993 · 19/04/2024 08:55

@Optimistic66 hopefully it works out for us, I won't test again for a couple of days, I don't even know when my period is due because it was messed up last month so it's just a waiting game but still disheartening when you get a negative

Elisabeth3468 · 19/04/2024 09:16

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

JumpinJellyfish · 19/04/2024 09:16

@AG1993 I think if your cycles are a bit irregular then there’s every chance it’s still too early to test - fingers crossed!

Ive always had a positive at 10dpo when I’ve been pregnant. I’m 9dpo today and woke up at 4am with cramps (and my DD coughing!) but they’ve gone now and no more spotting either. Going to resist the urge to test tomorrow and wait until Sunday though…unless my willpower totally fails me as I’ve got 2 tests in the cupboard!

AG1993 · 19/04/2024 10:25

@JumpinJellyfish I'm hoping it's still a bit early, according to Flo I'm now a day late so I will try and wait until Sunday to test again

Aisling1010 · 19/04/2024 12:20

It’s a really awful feeling testing and getting bfn 😢I couldn’t resist the urge and tested this morning at 11dpo and totally negative. I’m not feeling hopeful for this cycle anymore. I’ve been using easy@home strips

especially because apart from sore boobs, I don’t have any other symptoms
