That OTHER 2 Week Wait!

[Anna Purna]

Good morning everyone!

Grey: Wow, that's a lot of TTC stress for a 23 year-old to suddenly have on her shoulders. Your doctor sounds like a bit of an ass, if you ask me. I don't know anything about PCOS, but I'm sure you're still going to be able to catch that !

New: When I tried OPKs I never got a full positive; the lines got darker, then went back to being lighter. I guess I was always missing the peak. EWCM is a great sign! Catch that huevo!

Imp: Have a great weekend in Vegas. Win some money for me, PLEASE! I hope when you get back you receive a wonderful V-day gift.

Morri: I don't know anything about temping, but I wouldn't assume your egg was a dud - the cycle I got my I was convinced I hadn't ovulated because I didn't feel the usual signs and my CM was crap. So, don't count that eggie out yet!

Nurse: That must be so difficult. Just wondering, do you and your boss get along? After my ectopic one of my co-workers announced her pregnancy, then proceeded to talk about it non-stop every day. She'd rub her belly and interrupt other's conversations just so she could talk about how the baby was kicking! I already didn't like her very much, but after that I totally hated her and was so happy when she went on early maternity leave.

amber...my boss and i have a love/hate relationship..she's been nicer now that she is farther along in her pregnancy..but some days she's a bitchy witch that makes me want to slap her..she's so immature for her age..and she acts it sometimes..so some days i can deal with her and others not so much..
grey i hope you caught your eggy too.
good luck imp
to everyone else

Anna I'm not a big one for gambeling I just don't like to loose money. I'd rather put it torwards something I need/want. Shoes perhaps. Lol. I'm a shoe addict. However I was thinking of getting my girlfriend and taking $20 each to try out the penny slots for a bit. Ive been to Vegas 4 times and never gambled yet. In fact when i was 19 i put 3 quarters into a machine and won $200 thats the extent of my gambeling. Quit while your ahead I always figured. Lol

 

[Amberyll23]

grey--I agree with anna, your md sounds like an ass saying what he said! I get so annoyed with doctors sometimes! Have you been to any other specialists for a second opinion?


Imp--your comments made me think of our honeymoon. I'm not much of a gambler myself, however, we went to Atlantic City (all 2 broke newly graduated college kids could afford!), and my uncle gave me 60.00 in quarters and told me to use it all on slots. I used 20.00 and won about 200.00 and stopped! Used the 240.00 as a security deposit on our first apartment! haha

I hope you have a great weekend in Vegas and good luck on the penny slots if you play them!

Morri--I agree with Anna. Still a very good chance!

Hi OTWWers

Just stopping by to see how you all are doing.

Grey - Your doc is an ass!! I know quite a few women with PCOS who have gone on to have healthy babies in their 30s, so don't lose hope. You're still VERY MUCH in the TTC game. Good luck...any update on the huevo?

New - Same question. Have you caught that ? Hope to see you soon in the 2WW.

:wave: to everyone else.

hello lovely ladies...

stopping by to say hi.

hope you ladies O so you head on over to the TWW..

AFM: somehow this cycle, the TWW has been the longest for me since Ive been keeping track... Im so tempted to test this weekend. AF is supposed to show her face on Feb15/16. Originally I was going to wait until AF was late to test, then I said, I'll test on V-day just b/c...lol and now Im so tempted to test on Sunday...LOL oh gosh, Im a MESS!!!!

good luck ladies!!!

i know that feeling grey. I had always thought I'd have kids by the time I'm 25... But I just wasn't ready then. Now I'm 29 and wishing I'd tried a little sooner.

I wish I had tried sooner too, hindsight is a terrible thing sometimes

I'm 36 in two weeks, took me a while longer to be 'ready' for children - now I wish I'd done it sooner... 18 months ago, I never realised the struggle that was ahead of me...

Gosh I've never waited for so long for O - understand how you long cycle girls feel now, I'm usually in TWW by now!

What CD are you on? Yeah, being in a long cycle sucks! I know mine isn't the longest by far, so I try not to complain too much, but I do hate the waiting sometimes. When 'normal' women are starting their 2nd cycle, I'm sometimes still waiting to Ovulate

I'm cd14 today and CBFM has finally gone to peak - I know it won't feel like a long wait for you but mine went to peak last month on cd10 so I was wondering if it was going to happen this month.
Cycles must be still messed up a bit, thought they might have sorted themselves out by now. I understand how frustrating it must be for you x

I'm 35 and just got my BFP so chins up girls. You have lots of time. Sending you all lots of baby dust. Because even though you have lots of time, it doesn't mean that your sticky bean needs to take its sweet time to find you.

Thanks Lisa, gives me hope that I will get a BFP soon. Please god let all of our beans be sticky ones

Good morning everyone!

My opks are sometimes like that and is the main reason I splashed out on my CBFM, was fed up of studying little sticks of pee

Have a fabulous time in Vegas Imp - have you decided when to test yet?

Doing good thanks Neffie, I am due to O tomorrow as CBFM peak now See you in TWW

to everyone else - hooray for the weekend

 

[IMPPEARL]

I still havn't decided. I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow morning.

 

[GreyGirl]

Thanks guys, yeah it did put a lot of pressure on being told I had to get going quickly especially when I wasn't in a position to. Reassuring to know others have managed it in their 30's

How's everyone doing today? Close to going to the FF TWW thread? I've had that 1 dark and now my temp has risen, but not loads, maybe tomorrow I'll know what FF thinks

 

[Amberyll23]

Grey, it does look like you may have O'd on CD22 based on your temps, FXd for you!

 

[GreyGirl]

Grey, it does look like you may have O'd on CD22 based on your temps, FXd for you!

Really? Even though it didn't shoot up high? I do think I may have then too cos my EWCM has gone now, though I did have nearly a week of it, not bad right? And the tests are definitely negative now, so whatever was going to happen has happened. We had on CD21 so hopefully that was enough as we've been too tired since. (My husband has just started a new job, so been a busy week!) We did on CD17 and 18...would they have any effect if I o'd on CD22, or am I relying on the on CD21 to be enough to fertilize me this month?

 

[grandbleu]

Look at my chart Grey. I didn't spike up till 3 days after my O day. So I only had very slight rises in the beginning. I think you've probably Oed but FF will probably confirm after 1 more temp. BD action on CD21 would be perfect - 1 day before is excellent!

 

[neffie]

Grey, you might have O'd on CD 22, or perhaps even CD 21. See what FF tells you within the next couple of days. You don't need to see a huge spike in temps to confirm O. I never have a huge spike in temps the day after O. It's more gradual. Hope this is it for you, and that you join us in the 2WW soon.

Thank you I looked at your chart and it helped, thanks I'm hoping we did time it right and it's our lucky month

Thank you I normally do have a bigger spike, hence why I'm worried, but hopefully you guys are right and I've already o'd...I know it's still a technically long cycle but it's better for me than last month when it was day 29...could that have been because of ovulating from side without tube or from taking epo and delaying ovulation?

Sorry Grey, don't know the answer to your question. But on the bright side, if you've already O'd, that would be a whole 7-8 days earlier than last cycle, which is awesome. I've got everything crossed for you. Don't worry too much about how much the temp spikes. It's an overall pattern that you're looking for.

 

[GreyGirl]

Thank you Yes I do think I have o'd because of how much EWCM there was leading up and it's all gone now. Plus my opk. It's a lot more promising than last cycle because it's a 'normal' o day for me and I didn't have loads of nearly opk's, like lots of little rises...I had 1 really good opk (so close to +) and then all - again...so hopefully my body is more sure of what it's doing...I think if my temps are good tomorrow I'll be joining the TWW

 

[NewToAllThis]

Hi All
off to TWW tomorrow - O day today. DH and I have just had romantic dinner and may even have some cos we want to and not cos we have to!
Here's hoping I'm not back in this OTWW again (in the nicest possible way)!

 

[Amberyll23]

Grey--sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I had a rather hectic day (car problems, bleh!). I am glad that Grand and Neffie pitched in. I said what I did based upon your + opk and comments about cm, etc. You also seem to have a pretty good increase in temp going on post + opk which is a good sign also. If you check, FF intentionally waits a few days before confirming an O. I seemed to O on CD23 like clockwork these last few cycles, but FF never confirmed it until like 4-5 days later! So frustrating! Almost a week into the TWW before O confirmation! argh! So don't just use the temps as your guide, look at all the symptoms (OPK, cm, etc.) put together. Based on these things, I think it looks very promising that you may have o'd! Keeping my fx'd crossed!

New--Grats on the O!! Hope you caught that egg!

 

[loveanurse1]

Hello everyone..just wanted to stop by...been napping all day..i have been so tired and feeling so poorly..
yay ...grey...fx'd that you join us in the tww...
Hoping you all have a good Valentine's day weekend..

 

[GreyGirl]

Thanks Amberyll
Still waiting for confirmation...my temp stayed the same today, so now I'm worried I didn't O at all
