Another Susan!!

Susan! Welcome to them TWW! I hope this one ends in a BFP for you!

At 4DPO, it's a bit early to be feeling much that could be pg related. But in a few days, there could be loads.

The egg takes about 5 days to get out of the fallopian tubes and implantation can happen anywhere from 6-12DPO. Your body produces more progesterone after ovulation, which does cause a lot of symptoms on it own, whether you're pregnant or not.... When the egg implants, the amount of progesterone increases and can cause more symptoms. But right before AF, you might notice more symptoms too. A pos hpt, is really the only way to tell what's causing the symptoms. It's tough, but the best thing to do is to make a note of how you're feeling each day, so if this cycle isn't the one (though I hope hope hope it is), you'll know what to expect.

Feel free to symptom spot here and join in!

Whoa, this thread moved fast since yesterday!

Awww, you guys are the best! I feel so loved . Back at you! I will post proper in a bit, but thought you'd want o know the latest. I know a line is a line, but I still seemed to only feel "a little pregnant" getting faint lines. So after 1yr & 4 mos TTC (& my recent diagnosis w/MTHFR!):

Drumroll please.....

AFM: The trip to the doctor was uneventful...though better than I had imagined it being. I've got a blood test on Thursday...but only to check my iron and thyroid levels, as the past few days, my hands and feet have been freezing and I can't manage to warm them up. I wanted to ask why she couldn't slip a pg blood test in there...

But she told me that their office policy is two missed periods before a blood test, which is fair enough, because this could have been a fluke AF and she'll arrive right on schedule at the end of the month (Fx she won't. I'm tired of her showing up uninvited and DH and I have been BDing almost every day again..so maybe this time it'll work). DH was also fine with this, which surprised me a bit, since he was the one majorly pushing the blood test. I mean, he got really pissy when I suggested waiting until the end of the month, but I guess if it comes from the doctor, it must be right.

The visit was actually pretty positive....but then she told me that they also suggest waiting two years before they start medical intervention. I stared at her. I think my eyes bulged and my mouth hung open for a minute. TWO YEARS!?!?! No way. I'm not waiting that long...a year and a half at the most. And only because DH wanted us to start the count over. It's been 9 cycles, but he wants the official count at 4 cycles. I know some people go much longer, but I've had this idea that if it didn't work out, that there was some relief in sight...something that could help push us toward our ultimate goal...I've been more hopeful that it will happen sooner than later lately, but I'm still wigging out at the thought that I might have to go an additional year without any change or any help. Hopefully it won't come to that, but omg...two years. I think that's all I got out of that visit. I can't even remember what she said after that....lol.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! *squeeeeeeeeeeeel*

Pregnant!! So awesome! I am so so so happy for you, Lil!

Of course, you'll have to stay around and keep us updated...and show us some tickers!!

Welcome WishingforDust - what do you mean "missed your cycle by 1-2 weeks"? If you miss your period 1 day its time !!!

Welcome Susan_MK - hope your stay is short & sweet! 2WW is rough but these ladies are fab & will help you get thru it. I agree, at 4DPO you shouldn't have any true preg-symptoms because implantation is from 6DPO - 12DPO (typically). Its tough because your progesterone rises whether you are preg or getting your period (argh!) If you aren't temping/charting you may want to start - GL!

P.S. - The only thing that tipped me off this cycle was the Implantation Dip (although I got one both at 6DPO & 9DPO - it was determined ). But it's only found on 20-25% preg charts so its really NOT NEEDED to be preg & is more rare than standard. Also you can get one & not be preg...

Woo-hoo Lils - how wonderful to see "pregnant" on your test - you really really desearve it - thanks for all your support! So happy for you, keep us updated!! XXXXX

Wendy – Thank you! I’m trying to stalk your chart but no temps last few days? Did yo uov yet? Are you doing IUI on ov day THIS cycle or next? FX you are to follow!!!! Come on, let’s start a “trend” on this thread!

Sarah – Thanks honey! Yes, I’m with Ella – bring on the TEARS! It is never shameful for a woman to use her assets to get her way! away!!! (I’d totally do it in a heartbeat!) Hope you are doing OK & feeling better?

Laura – thank you – I’d love to be bump buddies! I’m really hoping & praying it sticks. I caught that MTHFR AFTER ov so hoping it was enough (to put that MTHFR in its place! ). OMG, I just saw - HAPPY 12 WEEKS!!!!

JW – Awwww, thank you honey – you are so sweet crying for my BFP! I hope you get your soon, too! I could have sworn w/your implantation dip you had it… I think you were really close!!! Not that you can rely on them 100% but that seemed to be a big sign in FF when I went to compare my chart to others (80% that actually had an implant dip in FF was a BFP). But again, you totally don’t need one.. FX – looks like you are ov’ing today/tomorrow – catch that eggy!

T2BC – Thank you for ! Uh-oh, temp dipping at 11DPO again?! Get on it girl (no pun intended ) ! FX &

Gemmy – Thanks! I see you have 5 days til ov – catch that eggy! Hope you are getting moved in OK – do as much as possible before ov so you can be as stress-free as possible during 2WW (if you can!). FX!!!

Lilly – good luck tomorrow!!!

Ella – 2 YEARS? No, F that! I’ll do sep post… (Thanks again for wishing me well!)

Gosh BNB is soooo slooowww today!?

AFM – doing betas this afternoon & will find out tomorrow. FX! I’m not out of the woods yet. I’ve had 2+ mc’s from this MTHFR gene mutation & apparently it kept me from implanting ALL THIS TIME (MTHFR!!!) So now, the fear begins. I am being relaxed about it but I am worried in the back of my mind. If you guys don’t mind I’d like to hang here & stalk a while! Not just bc of my high-risk preg, but bc I also SO WANT TO BE THERE WHEN YOU GET YOUR BFP’s too!!!! hugs:

Ohhh honey im soooo soooo sooo happy for you, you deserve it so much, you were so lovely to me sending me lots of support and advice. if you need someone to moan to when the sickness kicks in (which i hope it doesn't) you know where i am , wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xxxx

Lil- OF COURSE you have to stay around. We want updates and u/s pics and bump pics..the works! (And your unwavering awesome support.)

Laura- OMG! 12 weeks already?!? The time is passing so so quickly. Happy belated plum day!!

Hello everyone,
I am currently in my 2ww. Be trying for 3 years. AF started 28 March. Started first round of 100mg clomid April 1 till April 5. Had HSG done cd10. BD cd 12, 13, 17,18. Got pos opk cd18 am and negative pm. Strong cramps the same day in late afternoon. I have normal periods 27-28 days and always have cramps on left or right side every month around o. This month my cramps were all over (front, back, and sides) I also used preseed for the first time this month. Now I just wait.. When should I test?
