I have been driving myself bonkers the past few cycles with increasing symptom spotting during each 2WW. This current cycle, however, has been a bit different... thus making my wait absolute torture!
I like to read about other women's 2WW experiences where I can find similarities to mine, especially if it ends in a ! It makes me super hopeful and feel a bit better until "the end", which really sucks each month that I'm out
So here's my recent cycle and 2WW experience and symptoms I've noticed. I'll be sure to update until "the end", and if right on time should be tomorrow. Yup, the is due to visit me on Halloween
10/3/14, CD26/12DPO previous cycle: BBT 97.58. Impatient and took a HPT late that evening. While waiting for results, I checked my cervix. Blood tinged CM. due the next day. I'm crushed, once again. HPT was of course. Super moody.
CD1: Yay... showed up right on time Screw this BBT crap, I'm over it. Only had light tampons so used a couple of those during the day.
CD2: Used a couple light tampons today as well. Better go get some regulars soon since I'll be needing them the next few days.
CD3: Had a light tampon in most of the day. Barely anything on it whatsoever. This has happened before... a drought mid-menses and then back to normal flow for the remainder.
CD4: Same thing as day before. Like... nothing. Huh?!
CD5: Hadn't used another tampon since. I know how this goes, I'll just mess up a good pair of panties. But still nothing.
CD6-9: Nothing to report. No more period. No spotting. Did record on CD7 & 8, however, we may have before that as well. I just wasn't really keeping track at this point. Still not temping, but maybe I should because of that weirdo menses?
CD10: BBT 97.8
CD11: BBT 97.5 &
CD12:
CD13: Nothing noted. I'm not commiting 100% to keeping track of things but will closer to O time.
CD14: + OPK! & ovulation pain
CD15/O DAY: BBT 96.76, + OPK & & ovulation pain. Following temps determine it's *O day* Hmm, a day or two later than usual.
CD16/1DPO: BBT 97.05 & - OPK
CD17/2DPO: BBT 97.6 &
CD18/3DPO: BBT 97.33
CD19/4DPO: BBT 97.86
CD20/5DPO: BBT 97.58 & , gassy (not unusual) and mild cramps
CD21/6DPO: BBT 97.73, drank alcohol, hungry (typical) and a short wave of nausea maybe?
CD22/7DPO: 97.7 & , tired, gassy again and I think my ta-tas are a bit sore? Oh great. Here I go crazy symptom spotting again...
CD23/8DPO: BBT 97.2 big dip downward & , decided to inspect my cervix... seems to be high, closed and firm. Dipped an OPK strip out of curiousity and got a +?! WTH? Dipped another a bit later and another +?! - on digi OPK, however. Man made breakfast and it tasted super salty, I couldn't eat it Tons of other "symptoms" today... more gas, feel bloated (full of gas?), mild (gas?) cramps, nausea (from smelling my gas?), boobies still a bit tender and burped up stomach acid crap. Gross! Acid reflux?! I never have that. Anxiously ran to Walmart for a cheapie HPT
CD24/9DPO: BBT 97.9 big rise upward, could that be implantation?! Creamy CM, cervix high/closed/soft maybe? Dinner I made tastes salty, some cramps/dull pelvic ache (am I ovulating NOW?), breasts are mildly sore and more acid reflux! Yuck! on another HPT before bed and when I used the restroom immediately afterwards there was pink/reddish blood mixed with his semen and when I wiped. Crap. Early spotting. Popped in a light tampon and went to bed.
CD25/10DPO: BBT 97.73, NOTHING on tampon creamy CM, cervix high/closed/soft again? The girls are still a bit sore and think I'm getting a mild/dull headache. Had an OB/GYN appointment to discuss my super short and other concerns I have with TTC. Doc said everything looks good and what I've been doing is ideal but encouraged me to RELAX and have lots of sex No prob, doc! He also said he'd expect to show in a few days. Can he really tell that from a pelvic exam? I hope he's wrong. If we don't conceive in the next 2 months I get to have a HSG test done to see if my tubes are blocked. Yikes! Decided to continue my BBT chart until the end of this cycle.
CD26/11DPO: BBT 97.9, creamy CM most of day then turned watery, cervix high/closed/soft?, - OPK, headache and slightly sore ta-tas. Had a small glass of wine, but made me feel a bit nauseous. Shouldn't I be cravings sweets and junk? and more spotting but not nearly as much. Alright, I'm definitely gonna see the soon. Comparing with my previous charts, my BBT should begin to dip tomorrow.
10/30/14, CD27/12DPO: BBT 98.04 What?! That's not a dip Cervix high/closed/soft still??? CM is still watery. I thought my CM was creamy or thick before ? - OPK and slightly tender breasts. Yet another HPT. Very tiny bit of slight pink CM on pantyliner (I'm not letting the ruin my panties!) but nothing more throughout the day. Maybe I'm pissing off my cervix because I can't stop digging my finger around up in there?! No cramps? Why am I not moody? No strong desire for junk food?! C'monnnn! I've been running to the restroom, poking and digging and wiping and searching for any sign of an impending period. Gonna get my man this eve to see if we can jumpstart
This has been my longest cycle since discontinuing the BC pill, shortest is 25 days. My LP is consistent at 12 days so... will I get a visit from the on Halloween tomorrow? To be continued...
***UPDATE***
Continuing CD27/12DPO: a lil that eve and had more spotting. Put in a light tampon figuring was def here. Took it out before bed and there was nothing more than remnants of my BD bleed which was now brown and some CM. W...T...F... I give up. will appear in my sleep and I'll wake up with spotted panties. I don't care.
Halloween... where's the ?!?!
CD28/13DPO???: This should be CD1. I've never had a LP of 13 days. BBT 97.58. Ok that makes sense because my period has started. I felt nothing down there. Hopped on my man to get 'er going... this is going to be a terrible mess! Nothing. W...T...F... Used the restroom and some slight pink tinged CM when I wiped. No red blood. Checked my cervix and it's so high I can barely reach it. Getting frustrated. My partner is convinced I'm pregnant but I refuse because I keep spotting when we Put on a liner (I don't wanna stain my VS panties!) and take my son to school. Decide to put in a light tampon before I leave for work because I just know that dumb will show today... Starting to worry that my body is malfunctioning Went to a late Halloween party (pantyliner and emergency tampon in tow) and still nothing, not even spotting. Checked my cervix late that night after we got home (well technically it was super duper early the next day) and had a bit of red blood so there she is. I must've had my O day marked incorrectly, a day early, since I hadn't been taking my BBT daily until a day or two before I O'd and FF didn't mark it for me. That would make sense and put me at my 12 day luteal phase, but with a 28 day cycle length this time as opposed to the 25-26 days it's been the past few months and O on CD16 instead of CD13-14.
Anyways... went to bed and woke up with in full force BBT dropped to 97.33. What a way to start the month!
