Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[keriwak]

Girls I am so confused, my temp is staying low,
I am on cd 14 and my temp this morning was 97 this is the lowest
I think I have ever gone, I thought I already OV, Im confused~with
a 22 day cycle its impossible for me to ovulate today, it takes 10 days
to implant, my af is due in 9 days! Can you take a peek.

Hi Keri,
I don't think you have ovulated yet....usually your temp drops like that right before you ovulate, so I think you are getting ready to ovulate right now. Maybe you are having a longer cycle this time around What is your CM like right now? Are you getting EWCM?

I am creamy now, but that seems imposible, I have had it the last 2 months on cd 22 and if you look at my chart I was watery and I had lots of ew already,

I'm with Wendy. Looking at your chart, I'm not convinced you've ov'd yet. So keep up the BDing! But your LP won't change very much at all, no matter when you ovulate. It looks like yours is 13 days, so AF will come 12-13 days after you ovulate. So throw out that notion that you'll only have a 22 day cycle this month....it's going to be longer.

Well I hope so I hope this is the month, but why did I spot and have so much ew?

 

[DBZ34]

Hehe yeah I'm going to have a look at FF but still have so much to learn! Don't really have a clue where to start so hoping the app and website is fairly self explanatory!! Do I just need to get OPKs and Basal Thermometre to chart my cycle?

Oh right is that what u wanted to move back to the US? R u from there originally? Hope the move goes well if it happens for u. I bet you can't wait to get back and start TTC again

FS is just Fertility Specialist so it's a fertility clinic that carries out further tests etc so yeah ur right v scary! Yeah I would go in Jan because even if the dr's find something isnt working quite right they can refer u to people that can help with it all. (that's what I'm praying for anyway!) My husband has a low sperm count so we have been reading up ways to improve this as apparently it is only a temporary thing so trying to get lots of prenatal vitamins down him! I'm worried how this is going to affect us conceiving especially if something is wrong with me too

What does DH stand for again?

Does a rise in temperature indicate a possibility of pregnancy then? (Sorry still getting my head around it all!) If so woohooo!!!! So excited for u hun I'm going to be keeping everything crossed for u! Would you normally have had af symptoms by now then? Is LP Luteal Phase- what is this again? It's so hard not to get excited when things like this happen but yeah have a good day today and see what happens tomorrow- I'll keep FX for u hun- send us an update when u know! Not long to wait! R u going to test on 30th then? xxx

Yeah, Fertility Friend should be pretty self-explanatory. They'll send you a guide to charting when you sign up, but basically, you have to get a BBT thermometer (it's got 2 decimal places instead of one). You take your temps at the same time every morning and input it on your chart (You click the day on the calendar and then type your temp in the box). Then it tracks them for you. You don't have to get OPKs, but you can if you want. You can input those into your chart as well.

I'm originally from the US and it'll be nice to be back. I cannot wait until it's time to get back to TTCing. I wasn't supposed to be trying this month, so I haven't been nearly as crazy as I usually am. It's been kind of nice, but do miss TTCing.

And at this point in my cycle, a temp rise is encouraging because usually it would be starting it's downturn. Though last cycle I had a 11DPO rise, just not as high, and the next day it dipped, so I knew AF was coming. So, tomorrow's temp will be really telling. It could be up because of pregnancy, but it could be something else. I am kind of sick at the moment or it could have been some kind of random fluctuation. I don't have any symptoms that I don't get every month (boob pain, nausea, backache) so it's hard to tell if anything is actually going on.

AF has shown on 13DPO for the past two months and tomorrow is 12DPO, so I usually start feeling some symptoms by now. And last cycle I started spotting on 12DPO too. Though, I am feeling a bit like AF might be on her way, so I'm trying to not get my hopes up. I've had a few cramps here and there. But if she stays away long enough, I'll definitely test on the 30th.

And I hope all goes well for you in Jan. It will be nice to have answers, I bet, because then you can start addressing the issues, if there are any to address. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll get the all-clear. I'm sure you'll get your BFP when you least expect it.

Not sure. It could have been something hormonal. Or maybe your body tried to ovulate and then didn't quite make it for some reason, so it's trying again.

Hello everyone I am in my 2ww and going a little batty and not sure if what ! am experiencing is just in my head. DH and I have been trying for almost 2 years and have tried several rounds of clomid and come to find out the dr I had was not good I will just put it that way! (just did a round of clomid, still taking metformin- due to pcos- estrogen and also now progesterone oh, and ovidrel) Anywho! We want this we are ready and have been married for 3 years now. So, my "symptoms" were 4 and 5 dpo I had some minor cramping and it felt right where my uterus would be and today, 6 dpo, I have had some kind of sharp stabbing like pain in the uterus area as well. So, has anyone had this? (and maybe found out they were pregnant?) I go for a blood pregnancy test a week from tomorrow but it seems like forever away. would love some feedback! thank you! baby dust to you all and God bless!

Hi, you has PCOS I have endo, I get lots of cysts on my ovaries too...You have been trying for 2 years I have been trying since 08 so what I will tell you, don't waist money on blood tests, don't look at every little symptom, just try try and try again, keep track on how many days your period is coming, with me I was assuming each woman ovulates on day 14 well thats totally wrong, so I think that has alot to do with me not getting pregnant, don't go buy 50 tests. Its a waist, Just stay calm, and wait to see if your period comes, if it does not then test. For (us) me - you being its harder we have to be patient. I just told my husband tonight I give it to more months if nothing then he is getting testing done, and I am getting some things done too...Clomid is so bad for you especially what you have its known to cause cysts..who gave you that?

Welcome!! Don't feel bad. We all get a little crazy when it comes to TTCing.

I've had a couple of months where I've felt some cramping in my uterus (along with some pulling and bubbling sensations) and sharp pains. I haven't gotten my BFP yet, but that doesn't mean that you won't. Every woman is different and now I know to expect those every month. If this is your first month experiencing it, well, I'd take that as a good sign, especially since you've been trying for longer than I have.

Are you temping or anything to keep track of where you are in your cycle? How long is your cycle/luteal phase normally?

 

[colelis86]

Thank you for the replies, I appreciate them! I have been going to an infertility specialist and I did not ovulate on my own so I am not sure when I normally would ovulate or lenght of luteal phase; all I know is this month I ovulated on day 15 (with thw help of ovidrel) of my cycle and I got an an ultrasound on day 3 and 14 of my cycle to see the follicles and I had 3 mature follicles, thanks to clomid! The 1st doctor who was just an ob/gyn doc just basically gave me clomid and said see ya in 6 weeks...ya not good. My new dr takes time to explain things and is very thorough! I know there are risks to clomid but, I can't really get pregnant on my own and at this point cannot afford the next step but, since I just started with my infertility specialist we will see what course she will choose for me. She can tell when I will ovulate and when we should have intercourse. My hubby has been tested also so she has a good idea of what is going on. Anyhow I think I covered everything- thanks so much for the feedback!

I don't seem to be getting pregnant on my own either your lucky to have gotten to go to a fertility specialist! Goodluck they are expensive but thats my next step too!

I glad the clomid is doing what it's supposed to do and I hope you get your BFP soon! I'm also glad that you found a dr that is taking the time to help you through your cycle instead of leaving you to it. I think the monitoring of follicles and such is important when you're taking clomid to make sure you are ovulating and then knowing when to BD. So I'm glad you're finally getting the guidance. I hope this means your path to a BFP will be much quicker now. Let us know how that blood test goes in a week! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed until then.

 

[keriwak]

No symptoms for a few days now. Temp dropped yesterday, but then rose again today. I think yesterday's was inaccurate though because I woke up and my mouth was cold - like I'd been sleeping with my mouth open or something. Can't wait for this TWW to be over!!! I want my BFP!!!

Thats basically 97.2 thats not very high, usually preggo's are 98's or maybe im wrong but the charts I have stalked look like 98's usually!

My temperature runs lower than usual. Even when I have a high fever and I'm sick, I rarely hit 37. The highest temperature I got with my last pregnancy was 37.0.

I took a peek at your chart. It's hard to figure out what's going on with all those open white circles going on. Did you just temp at a different time? You can adjust the temps if they aren't more than 5-6 hours away from your regular temping time.

But, that said, it does look really promising. Not triphasic yet, but it was a good rise after the dip. I'm totally going to stalk your chart now.


Hey Keri, how's your chart looking today? Your OPKs don't look quite positive yet. But it does look like you're getting closer...Maybe you're going to have a longer cycle this time around.

The white circles were there because it says I checked off "sleep deprived" - which I didn't. I always temp around 6:45am. I've unchecked them now!

Definitely keep stalking my chart and let me know what you think! I've having cramping right now, but I'm only 9dpo, so I don't know what's causing it!

You went higher today I am watching I told ya WOO HOO~

 

[DBZ34]

So today's temp is lower than yesterday's, but it's still much higher than it usually is at this point of my cycle, according to FF's chart overlay. Apparently, I'm always about .4-.5 degrees above my coverline on 12DPO, but today, I'm .8 above. So I'm still feeling encouraged, but temps going down is a sign that AF is coming, so I'm not going to get my hopes up just yet.

I thought that AF was on her way today, but she's staying away at the moment and I haven't felt like she was coming since yesterday. I mean, there are some clear signs I get right before AF, at least two days before she shows, they haven't happened just yet. But there's still time, so I'm trying to not get too excited about things. This morning I had a crazy vivid dream, but that's the only symptom besides feeling gassy that I've had and I get those right before AF as well. So...I'm still playing the waiting game...

 

[colelis86]

Hey Sarah,
How's it going buddy? Have you tested??

 

[PostalMom]

Sarah your chart looks so great!!! Im thinking of you!! Afm AF is being horrible. I'm cramping but she's light and coming and going. I'm
Not sure when to say she came?? I'm either cd3 or cd1. I'm gonna start temping again this is driving me crazy

My temp did go higher today! I'm on CD28 and there's no sign of AF, so I'm trying to remain positive. Not holding my breath though because who knows what my first AF after my miscarriage will be like or when it will arrive. Doctor told me that it should be somewhere between 3 to 7 weeks after I started miscarrying, so that gives me a range of a week ago to 3 weeks from now! Everything about my cycle has felt normal since I stopped bleeding though, so I'm hoping I have a normal-ish cycle. I don't know when to test though!

Hey Sarah,
How's it going buddy? Have you tested??

Wendy!! Missed you buddy!!

No, I haven't tested yet. I don't know when to expect AF because of the miscarriage, so I'm not going to test until I've at least passed the 30 day mark. Maybe I'll wait until January 1st and test then since that will be day 33 and "should" mean that I'm about 2 days late. We'll see.


How are you feeling? Good luck with your second round of clomid!!!
