New TTC#1 2WW buddy for Oct?

[Bee Bee]

Hi Ladies! Hope you dont mind if I chime in!

This is DH and I's first month trying. I temped, charted and took OPKs, the works! hahah I originally thought I Od on Oct 9th, but I got an unquestionable +OPK on the 13th. Temp and CM confirmed that. Both FF and Ovufriend say I am 5DPO. So, I guess I am 5 DPO!!

I am not sure the DH and I BD'd enough around then so I'm not that confident this is our month. It would be awesome if it was, but I won't be upset if it isn't. We just started so I am not in a huge hurry.

Temps are good so far, so I can't be sure if we are out yet or not! A few apps I have for tracking seem to think I will have AF anytime between tomorrow and the 24th. Honestly though, I was on BC for 11 years and I have no clue how long my cycles are. So, it could be possible AF will come in the next few days, but I really don't know.

Thinking I will test either Saturday or Sunday morning. My grandfather died yesterday so I am having to make a trip out to FL starting tomorrow till Saturday. I'm thinking it'll probably help my TWW pass faster, but it's not exactly the most fun way to pass it

Your temps look fantastic and climbing! I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Never easy to loose someone we love.

Morning ladies!

Got a whopping UTI on Saturday. Haven't had one in like 10 years. ugh

Ive heard of women who get a UTI before they get their BFP, but i am just chalking this up to BDing from the honeymoon. I guess its also called "honeymoon cystitis" lol

Im not counting myself out yet. Testing end of week!

Ohh no!! What a bummer UTI's are so painful/uncomfortable! Definitely don't count yourself out though, BFP is still possible!

Let me know when you are testing! I can't tell if I'm 6dpo or 7dpo ... but I'm thinking I won't be able to resist testing at the end of this week too.

I know i said testing end of week...i might have tested this am way too early, but i did it anyways.

Imbhj,

So I really REALLY want to test today, but fear of disappointment is making me stop to consider. I have two different tests: the First Response early result which "can" detect enough hCG up to 6 days before AF, and the Clearblue advanced digital test which says 5 days early. Even if I am 7dpo, then 6 days early would still be one day too soon, but I am sooooo tempted!

I feel like at this point the stress of waiting is really starting to take a toll. I am finding myself getting more upset and agitated with other normal life things (example: I have jury duty summons tomorrow and its FREAKING ME OUT, especially since I *forgot* to tell my supervisor at work eek!) and right now I can't seem to contain my anxiety about it!

Sorry had to vent. What kinds of tests are you using? I've read that the type of test really does matter since different ones can detect different levels of hCG.

Welcome Bee Bee! Sorry to hear about your loss. Fingers crossed for us weekend testers! (early for me but I can't wait!)

So I tested yesterday at 7dpo (which I told myself I would not do). I was in a huge rush, but I looked at the test up to about 4-5 minutes. Then I just tossed it in my cabinet and went about my day. Of course I looked at it a few hours later in the day, and there was a super faint line. I didnt want to get my hopes up since it was too long after, but I kept asking myself if I really looked close enough earlier in the day, and what if the line was there but I didnt pay enough attention. So of course, today at 8dpo I tested again, and it's negative. I've heard that the tests with blue lines are more likely to have evap lines than the pink ones, so I'm sure that's all it was. This is why I should just wait to test, and just throw the tests away after I've looked at them! LOL

DON'T TEST with the early response! GO to the dollar store if you need to pee on something! lol Save that for when you think you see a line.

Jury duty....ick. I have never been summon for that, but it does not seem fun.

As far as tests i am using, some that detect 20mIU, which is pretty sensitive. I work in a clinic and have hpt's at my fingertips...which is good and bad!

Hi, this is my first post on this site and I felt the urge to talk it out and I am hoping for some support. My husband and I have been TTC for 3 years now and only in the last 5 months have we stopped taking matters into our hands and gone to a fertility specialist and taken every test available. I completed 3 months of clomid and finally produced two "perfect" eggs this month so we went down the IUI path. My husband has been labelled the "super sperm guy" so no issues there but I was having trouble ovulating so I had 4 ultrasounds, took metformin x3 a day, iron pills x 2 a day, prenatal vitamins, and a HcG shot 36 hours before the IUI. I had so many symptons during my 2WW (dizzy spells, cramps in my uterus, headaches, difficulty around pungenet smells etc) and as I drove to the doctors this morning for my 14 day blood test and urine sample I knew something was wrong. I gave blood no problem and asked if I could give a urine sample as well just to see....well little did I know I started my period at literally the exact moment I was in the doctors office and I was all alone. I tried desperately not to get my hopes up during the wait, tried not to think about it; but in an instant it all became very real that my imagination got the best of me and I was never pregnant. I hope it gets easier to accept it just wasn't the right time for us, right now I feel like I never want to try again and I am not a quitter so this hurts! Anyone have an advice on how to get back on the horse so to speak or any tips that worked for them? I am 34 years old, my husband is 41 and we are both active and healthy. We don't drink, we don't do drugs of any kind, we cut out caffeine 3 months ago and still after all the tests that say this should work and everything looks it great it comes back with a BFN.

Hi Winescotchy, please don't lose hope! You mentioned that you were having trouble O'ing, which probably means that was your issue for the three years before you saw the specialist. By going to the specialist, you took the first step, and after three months, you produced two perfect eggs! That is such a huge step in the right direction! I know it was disappointing for you that the IUI didnt work the first time, as I'm sure I'd feel the same way. But I've read a lot of women on this site that it worked within a few cycles for them. And if things are looking as good as they are, you have such a great chance of being successful soon too. Hang in there!

I am almost done with my tww after clomid and a trigger shot. I test Monday the 21st! I have my fingers crossed for everyone!!!!

babydust, babydust, babydust
Good luck!!!

Thank you so much! My husband doesn't seem to understand the frustration, I truly appreciate your kind words!

ok ladies i hate admitting this but i told the dh about this site and how everyone seems to breakdown early and test with " cheapies" so what do we do stay searching for them naturally and bought some. . ugh i said no testing early. . lol. . i don't feel prego at all. . no current symptoms. the tests will be here the 30 so i guess that gives me a few more days before i loss even more control. . . lol oh brother help me.

 

[savvysaver]

I am thinking I am around 5dpo. We only BD once this time since I was out of town...it always seems like one of us is away during the best week of my cycle...ugh! Last month I was positive I was pregnant, I had so many symptoms in the tww and AF was a week late. So obviously we didn't get to try much this month so I don't have my hopes up but my nipples are super sore. No other symptoms. I guess at this point all I can do now is wait and see...expecting AF around Oct 30th.
Hoping to see some BFP posts soon! Good luck girls and lots of baby dust!

Hi,

I am TTC this month. Today (10/12) is Day #13 for me. My window is between today 10/12 and Weds 10/16 (based on my previous cycles/estimation). Usually 28-30 day cycle. I am using a opk for this cycle to try to pinpoint o. Planning on testing on 10/30.
Anyone in the same time frame to be my 2WW buddy?

I know I will be anxious and nervous and my husband can only take so much! Need someone to share excitement!

Thanks

Krae615
have you tested? any positive signs?

 

[KRae615]

FutureBabyG,

I was a silly one too and did one test early ... BFN of course. I am searching for symptoms but honestly can't find any. I usually get wicked PMS before AF which should be starting soon if I'm not pregnant (so SO irritable ... at least one day every month I swear I'm going to divorce my husband. I really don't want to, just on that one day! I'm sure he feels the same about me lol).

No sore boobs. Nausea is not a good symptom for me to track b/c my stomach gets messed up frequently due to my crazy work schedule and stress. Same with the fatigue/tired symptom ... I'm almost always tired when I work 80 hours overnight! It could have been my imagination, but I *thought* I felt some weird twinging/mild crampiness which I considered to be possible implantation pains ... but no IB at all.
*Sigh* ... I was thinking of testing tonight when I wake up since I'll be 8 or 9 dpo (still not sure).

What about everyone else?? We are getting so close!! Any symptoms? And early (faint) BFPs?! I want to know please share!!!!

Hopes, prayers, and baby dust to all!

 

[KRae615]

Actually now that I am reading other posts, I am experienced stuffiness/congestion in my nose and head (cold?) ... and I am having some more CM than usual before AF. Not to be weird, but I did poke at my boobs to test for any soreness and they did feel sore, but it could be all in my head. I think from now on EVERYTHING will be in my head til I get a BFP or til AF comes!

 

[ERosePW]

My boobs have been hurting (especially my nips, hurt like heck!), but I've been tricked by that before, so trying not to get my hopes up. However, something is making me very curious... I don't know if anyone on this thread is charting or not... Upon falling asleep last night, I started feeling a tad crampy (almost like AF, but its still 4-5 days away), and this morning I woke up to a temp drop of about 6 degrees. I'm 10dpo, and I read that implantation can occur around 10dpo, accompanied by a temp drop. Which could explain the BFNs too, since hcg isn't detected until a couple days after implantation. I'm REALLY trying not to get too excited, but with these sore nips and today's temp dip, I can't help myself. If my temp stays low tomorrow, then I know AF is probably just coming.... But if it goes back up.... Ahhh! The TWW kills me!

Krea. . . i really didn't have any symptoms until recently this weekend i was
relaxing and noticed that my boobs could not be touched at all. . it felt like someone stabbing me. i just thought that i slept wrong. then last night i started feeling gross,but wasn't sure what was causing it. woke up yesterday and felt worse way worse. i had a huge headache all day and my stomach felt likea mix between
nausea and heartburn. i think i am coming down with something more than pregnancy though bc otherwise nothing. i am 11 dpo so i could test but i feel like if i do af will just show up.
