TWW 4DPO

[Lovedatforme]

Currently at 4DPO, anyone want to join?

TTC baby no2, first cycle ended in MMC so this TWW has already been an anxious one!

Sorry for your loss.
8dpo here. Took a test today (I’ll never learn) as I feel like death warmed up, got a BFN, but know it’s very early so still have hope. This will be my 3rd cycle TTC, first cycle I got pregnant straight away but unfortunately it was ectopic, so I definitely feel you on the anxiety 🫶🏻

Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm just entering it but only 1DPO so I'm a bit behind you. Fingers crossed for us all!

Sorry for both of your losses.
I'm 7dpo and on my first cycle of ttc. Trying hard not to symptom spot but it's been so hard.

I'm 8dpo, cycle 1, TTC baby2.
Got a couple of expired tests in the cupboard, might try one tomorrow 😂

I'm 7dpo trying for number 3.
1st was concieved 1st cycle and 2nd was concieved 6th cycle after two chemicals.

I'm going to go try and wait until 11dpo to test but I usually cave at 8dpo 🙈

Sorry to hear about your loss! I’ll join you for the wait, I’m DPO 2 so slightly behind you 🙂

Baby number 1 for me 🤞🏼

Sorry to hear some of you had losses too.

It took us 7 cycles to conceive our first, I have endometriosis and a low AMH level so we wanted to try again soon after in case it took the same time. Waited 6 months and was shocked it happened on the first cycle but sadly had the MMC.

It's so hard not to test early, i'm going to try and wait until at least 10DPO but we'll see how that goes 🙃I didn't track my ovulation the first cycle we tried and I had the MMC so I've no idea how many DPO I got the positive test.

Fingers crossed for us all.

Hi I'm 1dpo. We've been BDing every other day since af. I don't know how I'm going to get through the next 9 days without taking a test. This is only cycle 2 for us but I've been waiting 4 years for my husband to agree to baby 3. So feels like forever! I know I'll be crushed if AF arrives.

@BlueberryPoppy123 The waiting is painful isn't it? 😭

How is everyone today?

@Lovedatforme it is. I've felt rotten today too so I've spent all day so far laid in bed exhausted after being up half the nights with cramps (don't think related to TTC) and just keep thinking through how the year will play out if I am pregnant in my own little world. I think I'm becoming slightly obsessive and I'm only on cycle 2 😫

What do you all do to pass the time and take your mind off watching the days tick down?

I just went for a massage... thought it would relax me. Turns out I spent an hour thinking about ttc. 😂

Oh no @Dullblue1234 ! Although a massage does sound like a nice treat. Now what to do with the other 12 days 😂

Today is 8dpo for me. I caved in and took a test this morning and it was BFN. I do think I'm out this cycle but there is that tiniest slither of hope in the back of my mind. This seems to be the longest 2ww ever.

I have an 8 month old so pretty busy with him 😂

I find the nights the worst though, so much time to get obsessed with your own thoughts lying in bed. It's so hard not to constantly think about it.

@BlueberryPoppy123 It's so hard. I'm fine most of the day and then when I lie down all the thoughts start.

@cocodaisy 8DPO is still pretty early so try and keep some hope ❤

@Lovedatforme yea nighttimes are hard. I'm off work until Thursday though so the days are tough ATM too

@katieak @BlueberryPoppy123 @Lovedatforme i try to distract myself with hobbies and exercise. Currently going through a book a day and baking at least one cake/batch of cupcakes a week 🤪

woke up today with some suspicious cramps, not too dissimilar to the ones I get the day before/day of my period starting. But I’m not due for another 5 days so I’m rather confused lol. My cycles aren’t the most regular, going from 29-34 in the last 6 months but with most common 31. Feel nauseous when I stand/do something, and my boobs are sore af. Cramps have now stopped which is bizarre if it PMS as that’s usually constant. If AF is early, I hope it bloody comes soon so I can get this false hope out of my system. Very frustrated with it all and I’m only on cycle 3 🥲 hope everyone is doing ok today

@Ksh5460 did you track ovulation with opks? I didn't last month and thought my period was due with heavy cramping but I had a really long cycle last month. The cramping similar to what I've had since ovulation this cycle.

Can't believe I'm only 3dpo and already resisting the urge to test 🤦‍♀️ I know it'll be negative as everything I've read says hcg doesn't start being released until the egg attaches to the womb and since that won't happen until day dpo6 or 7 it's pointless. I do think I'm not going to be able to resist testing on day 7 or 8 though 🙈

@BlueberryPoppy123 yes this was my first month tracking, got a peak around lunch time on the 14th so presume I ovulated on the evening of the 14th/morning of the 15th. Flo predicted me to ovulate on the 16th based on a 31 day cycle, so I’m guessing I’ll just be having an earlier AF. I’m on CD27 so just any day now probably 😪 if I don’t get my period by Friday I will be testing again though lol.

it’s so hard isnt it! I always try to wait until at least 8dpo cos ive heard 8-10 is the best for an “early”. Just try and keep yourself distracted if you can x

I’m 4 DPO and promising myself I’ll hold out until at least Saturday…. Will probably test Saturday morning not sure I can go any longer 😂

@Ksh5460 they do sound like possible reasons to have hope. It's so hard though isn't it! Last cycle every single twinge I was convinced it might mean something but obviously didn't. Our brains get very sensitive don't they! At least you don't have too long to wait now.

I feel ok not testing at the moment because I know at 3DPO there really is no point but when I get to 7 that's when I think it will be hard to resist temptation as it's a bit borderline on whether it might work. Are the super early tests actually worth it? Can see this getting expensive haha!

@katieak I didn't check lh levels last month and had something like a 37/38 day cycle. I went through about 10 tests 🤦‍♀️ this month I've bulk ordered 25 from Amazon. I'm feeling positive though

@BlueberryPoppy123 It's so hard, I've been binging crap TV while I have the spare time.

@Ksh5460 Hopefully these are good signs of something happening for you!

@katieak I bought cheap premom early tests on amazon and they've always come up positive for me before my period. They weren't too expensive if you don't want to spend a fortune. The clear blue tests are so pricey. I can't seem to get first response tests here anywhere in Ireland, they were defo the best I used before. But also expensive.

6DPO today, just feel tired. Have been feeling a bit nauseous in the evenings but I could also be imagining it. I just hate waiting.

@katieak @Lovedatforme I use the Premom ones too now, very decent price. Previously I have used clear blue and generic store brand ones, but they were just too expensive lol. I know you can get first response on Amazon, but again super expensive for one or two tests! I think all of the early ones have the same general sensitivity, but I avoid clear blue early because of the blue dye being notorious for evap lines. When I had my BFP with my ectopic I only used a clear blue early the day I expected my period, and a digital to confirm. I might cave and do a FMU tomorrow, as I’ve been going at like 6am around when my partner wakes up for work, and then not actually testing until late morning/early midday so would be on my 3rd or more wee by then. Probably won’t make a difference but who knows! Definitely in the delulu stage of the TWW

I do the same, if I get a positive on the premoms I then go and confirm it with a clearblue digital. They're so expensive I try to avoid them.

I'll be 7DPO tomorrow, trying so hard not to test but iI have a feeling I might cave. Doubt anything at all will show up though, I'm only driving myself insane!
