Late July Testers! Let's wait together!

[WishnandHopn]

I have shorter cycles so that helps lol. I think this one will be 25 days.

My symptoms are typical progesterone symptoms that I always get in the tww. Bloated, irritable, tender bbs, creamy cm. I always get these same symptoms so I don't think they mean much of anything lol

I think I will be flat out shocked whenever/ if I ever get a BFP haha

Any symptoms for you?

Belle, got my fingers crossed for you that this cycle will not be 25 days, but 40 weeks!

 

[BelleNuit]

Thanks Wishn!! I'm hoping this will be a 40 wk "cycle" for you too! Then we can be bump buddies!

 

[WishnandHopn]

Belle, that would be awesome! My only 'symptom' so far is that I'm super bloated...as much as I want to be pregnant, it sucks to LOOK pregnant at 2 dpo!

 

[krissie328]

Thanks olive. I hate how our bodies so strange things as soon as we start ttc. After ds I ovulated and had a regular cycles, until the month we started ttc.

I'm on clomid this cycle and I've always responded well so I'm optimistic I will o.

 

[Cinderella]

Had a really busy weekend, which was great for not focusing on the tww, but sucks to realise I'm still only 4DPO. The super bloated feeling has passed and don't really have any other symptoms. This is hard work!

 

[MissYogi]

Luckily I will be leaving on my honeymoon for one week of my TWW so I won't have a lot of opportunity to symptom spot. Of course that won't really stop me from thinking about it, but at least I won't be able to turn to Dr. Google when I don't have an internet connection!

 

[Candilou22]

Hopping to join this group as well. I am on cd 10 of our 13th month ttc number 2. I should be testing around the 28th if af does not show up

 

[BabyBlondex]

3 days before until af is due! Roughly, I could potentially be 2 weeks late due to irregular now regular periods! Why don't I just bloody test!!

 

[BabyBlondex]

Also my symptoms are bloated tender tummy, a mild bout of flu, veiny looking boobs, and constant Hunger/nausea... ALL Symptoms ive had with my 2 pregnancies 😀

 

[OliveLove]

Good job waiting, ladies- like we have another choice Had some crazy dreams last night..that I did an ultrasound on myself because the dr. left and there was a 12 week fetus!

 

[Weebles]

I just got back from my appointment and I'm feeling so overwhelmed and a bit worried about all the copays. My husband has to get a SA and I have an ultrasound on Friday now to check folicles. I have to get blood work done next month on CD 3 and after that an x-Ray to make sure my tubes aren't blocked. So many tests. I hope I just get pregnant this month instead.

 

[MissYogi]

Candi- We are cycle buddies! Have fun BDing!

Blonde- That sounds so promising! I say

Olive- Pregnancy dreams are so funny, can you imagine if you actually had to do the ultrasound on your own?

Weebles- Hopefully this is your month and you don't have to worry about the tests!

I am in the final few days of wedding craziness, it's only 4 days away now! We have also been BDing every day and a half but it's quite tiring. My lady bits have never had to do so much exercise before! Now we are actually getting within the possible fertile window as well, I'm on CD 10 and I normally ovulate on day 18, although I think it may be day 16 or 17 this this because I decided not to record my first two days of almost bleeding and instead decided it was spotting. So I guess we'll just have to keep BDing and see what happens!

 

[Weebles]

Thanks MissYogi, that's what I'm hoping for too and if not, well at least the ball is rolling. And omg, you're getting married! How exciting! I tell my hubby quite often I want to get married again, maybe for our 10 year. Congrats to you and fx that your honeymoon is amazing and lucky!

 

[Cinderella]

Oooh, Good luck Yogi! I can't imagine trying to prepare for a wedding and actively TTC, you're made of strong stuff!

5DPO - Potentially five days to testing if I do it early, app is saying 12 days if I go by AF date. I'm really torn about this. I could wait, and would love to do a test and get a very definite positive without having to look for squinters etc. But, I also really want to know, as soon as possible.

Despite not wanting to, have been accidentally symptom spotting - for example, for past two days have felt really nauseous in the morning, usually wouldn't think anything of it, but because of timing I'm like 'hmmm, could I be?' and then have just been the loo and there's some white, lotion like cm - I don't usually have any cm between O and AF - sooo, I have to be pregnant right?

Stupid mind. Hope it's not playing tricks on me. When I've had 'accidents' in the past, and thought I might have been pregnant, period has been up to two weeks late but always BFN, it's like my body knows I'm waiting for a period so it doesn't send one. I'm gonna shut up now... Have a rambling on problem when I'm anxious.

Baby dust to all!

 

[BelleNuit]

Weebles! Good for you for getting the ball rolling! Testing like that is super nerve wracking! I hope you get pregnant this month instead too. If not I'm glad it sounds like you have a good team of health professionals behind you to help get things sorted out!

I've given myself till the end of September before I go in to the doc. That gives the lifestyle changes we've been working on a full 3 months to work. I'm definitely hoping we get pregnant this cycle or the next because the cycle after that DH will be going on a week long hike right during my fertile week. He booked it a long time ago and we both thought that I would for sure be pregnant by then. I guess you just never know!

 

[Ask4joy]

Weebles - I just had the day 3 blood work done this cycle to test my ovarian reserve. It's nerve wracking but also very informative. My results came back last week and all levels (FSH, estradiol, LH and AMH) were good/normal. I have an ultrasound scheduled for September if I'm not pregnant by then. I hope we are both pregnant this cycle and will be going in for a different kind of ultrasound!

 

[Ask4joy]

Good job waiting, ladies- like we have another choice Had some crazy dreams last night..that I did an ultrasound on myself because the dr. left and there was a 12 week fetus!

Haha! My sis-in-law is a doctor (radiologist) and would sneak into the ultrasound room and do her own ultrasound when she was pregnant, so it's not so far fetched!

 

[Weebles]

Thanks Belle! It's hard to be patient but it really does take a little time for positive changes to make a difference. Good for you for sticking with it! I had a hard time giving up smoking at first but now the thought grosses me out. I've got this little feeling that maybe I should wait a bit longer, tests really do make me feel anxious. It's too late now I guess, but I think I will hold off on hubby's SA just in case we do get lucky.

It's good to know your results came back good Ask! I took a peek at your thread and noticed that my dr is testing for the same levels. I always thought that they would test levels after ovulation but I guess cd3 is more important than I thought.

One weird thing is that my dr asked if I had ever confirmed ovulation and I told him I've been charting but he wants to do the ultrasound anyway to be sure. I wonder is it really possible to have a temp shift without ovulation?

 

[BelleNuit]

Weebles, I've read about something called lutenized unruptured follicle syndrome. You can get a temp shift and all the hormonal changes, but the egg is never actually released. I'm sure thats not the case for you. Your doc is probably just doing his due diligence

 

[WishnandHopn]

Weebles, glad to hear your appt went well. It is a huge step to start testing. Scary, but good to be proactive!

Well today I was officially referred to a fertility clinic. My doc sent the fax while I waited. So this is for real now. Just waiting for the call for our first appt. In some ways I feel relieved to be doing something, but on the other hand I'm terrified to get bad results. I feel like getting this tested done is the only thing standing between 'we're TTC, it's just taking a little longer than we expected' and 'we are dealing with infertility and need help to get pregnant'.
