That OTHER 2 Week Wait!

[LiSa2010]

hey grey!!

Im still in limbo... no AF and no bfp AF was supposed to show up on Sat/Sun the latest but nothing, not even a hint of AF....

FXd this is your month!!!

 

[Amberyll23]

ya Grey! Get to that and catch that egg hun! Keeping my fx'd for you!!

LiSa--hope the absence of AF means a late BFP for you!

 

[LiSa2010]

ladies!

Im back here again.... started to spot earlier today and now Im just waiting for the full flow of AF.... on to April!

 

[loveanurse1]

oh no ..sorry to hear that lisa..

 

[GreyGirl]

Sorry about that Lisa

I could technically ovulate any day now. Kinda wish I'd wait a few days though, we've been feeling the pressure and it's affecting things, so I'm hoping we can take the pressure off for a few days and catch the eggy without stress!

 

[LiSa2010]

thanks ladies!

hey grey: FF says you O'd already, is that wrong?

 

[GreyGirl]

thanks ladies!

hey grey: FF says you O'd already, is that wrong?

I think it's wrong, considering I didn't have any CM and the temp went down after 3 days and has stayed down with no af...I had some EWCM yesterday and this is around the time I normally ovulate, so I'm guessing it'll be soon. If I did ovulate when FF said I did, then I hope it caught because we did have the day before...just trying to get enough in now as well around this one if I am ovulating soon!

 

[GreyGirl]

Now FF has decided I really didn't ovulate on CD13...so I'm still officially waiting. Hopefully this weekend we can get some successful in and the egg comes in a few days.
How's everyone else doing? Feels pretty quiet in the OTWW at the moment, everyone in 2ww???

 

[Amberyll23]

Grey--glad FF finally corrected itself! Hopefully you get your + OPK and get some in this weekend! FX'd for you!!

 

[LiSa2010]

grey, i think it's just me and you on the OTWW! and everyone else either got their or are on the TWW... I hope we catch up to them....
okay, so I just looked at your chart and if your temp goes up tomorrow, FF may say that you O on CD20 and it seems that you also had EWCM on that day as well. did you DTD?

Hi Lisa and Grey

[Morticia]

Hi everyone!
Sorry - I'm completely new to this thread and see you guys have been on here for ages. but I just need to say a huge THANK YOU for starting a thread based on the HORRIBLE, limbo time that is the OTTW!

I empathise completely...I am currently on cd15 of an average 33-day cycle, waiting to O, BD-ing when I can (average of three times a week since AF, just stepped up to every other day as I'm approaching O, going to switch to every day as of tomorrow as I'm expecting to O on Wednesday!)

It is so disheartening to finish AF and have SO long to wait until O day. especially for ladies with longer cycles!

Lots of you seem to be in the TWW proper now anyway - so mega good luck and fingers crossed for all of us! xx

 

[Morticia]

P.S Shelleney - so happy as I started off reading this thread and how you were really holding out for a BFP. And now I see you've got one - always gives me so much hope when there are lovely ladies like you talking in early posts about wanting and trying for a BFP...then I can see your profile shot and it says that sometime between posting that and the current day, you got what you dreamed of! so YAY for you and everyone in the same position!!

 

[loveanurse1]

welcome morticia..we do have a lovely thread here and you will find many of us have long cycles with late o days.. myself included..I hope you will continue to hang in with us and get your also..

 

[Amberyll23]

Welcome Morticia! This is a wonderful group of ladies, and we stick together through all stages of TTC and beyond! I am a long cycle sister myself (avg 36 days), and got my bfp last month! I agree that the OTWW is so long and frustrating for us, because we have fewer cycles we often find ourselves out in the wind still waiting for O!!

I hope your O comes soon and hope you catch that egg this month!!

Be sure to join us in the TWW thread too post-o, you will find encouragement and support at every stage!

 

[GreyGirl]

Welcome Morticia! Welcome to our very friendly group

Grey--glad FF finally corrected itself! Hopefully you get your + OPK and get some in this weekend! FX'd for you!!

Thank you, I hope we do too!

okay, so I just looked at your chart and if your temp goes up tomorrow, FF may say that you O on CD20 and it seems that you also had EWCM on that day as well. did you DTD?

How are you doing in your wait? Long isn't it?! I hope it wasn't CD20 and is yet to come...we did DTD, but it wasn't exactly 'successful' if you no what I mean, I think the pressure of it all affected things
I've had TWO people tell me they're pregnant this week...first is due September (when I would have been if I'd got pregnant first month TTC) and second in November (add a month to last bracketed statement) and it's really got me down.
We have tried really hard to make sure we didn't have anything on this week so we could 'concentrate'...on Wednesday I had something I couldn't get out of and we had an hour from getting home from work to me going out, then I wouldn't be back til late. I promised myself I'd never pressure my hubbie...but Wednesday I said the stupidist thing..."do you want to have sex before or after dinner...we may not have time for both." so of course we tried to DTD but it just wasn't 'happening'
I'm obviously worried if we have missed the window, but I feel worse that I pressured him like that....any help on how to get the mood going without putting pressure on that's counter-productive????

 

[loveanurse1]

grey ..it is indeed difficult..usually my dh is on to things...so i have to really spice it up..and get really seductive..and even then it's difficult due to pressure..i have no real advice to offer other then seduce, seduce, seduce..and only you know what your hubbie really gets geared up for....
good luck sweety

hey grey: my cycle just started after bfns on 11 and 14 dpo... it's already going so slow... sorry you're feeling down about the people telling you they're preggers... I can imagine...

I just really can't believe that this month was a bfn. I had all the symptoms

I know that hubby loves massages ALL over so I start from the top then work my way down **skip the middle part** and save that for last... OR you can have hubby to that to you......

what about exercising together.... that really gets your blood flowing and you have all that energy already... great starter before "ahem" you know

OR GET DRUNK!!! lol

hope that made you smile......

 

[LiSa2010]

Morticia Welcome!!

you have a good BDing plan...

I don't have long cycles but this OTWW always seems to drag for me

thanks for the good luck... hope the catch the egg!

 

[Amberyll23]

Grey-- We ran the gauntlet to keep our action going when TTC. We did spontaneous sex, planned sex, drunk sex, morning/half-awake sex, and even threw a few pornos in to get either one of us in "the mood" when necessary! I was sooo not shy about it, haha!

My suggestion is that if he doesnt like "planned sex" and that is a bit stressful for him, spring it on him and seduce him, and don't mention anything about ttc! Or do something you know that he really enjoys (backrubs, etc.) that can produce good returns for you!

Sometimes the boys just don't like to hear that this is babymaking, I think it is something psychological with them and that is what turns them off. If they think they are having hot monkey sex--they are all for it!
