Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[gemmy]

Well I am out girls

Onto the next cycle - a christmas ?

Bit down, even though you imagine the worse - when it happens you feel no better. I dreamt I had a heavy period last night. Then I woke to a temp drop 36.47. I layed there for ages nervous to do my test. I got up and inspected before I peed - no blood. I felt myself hopeful but doubtful. POAS (digi). When I wiped there was the darn. I don't regret the test in anyway as I said to dh that is af but at least the words "not pregnant" will confirm as it was gloopy cm stained with blood but she hasn't kicked into cd1 yet. Normally I might of had hope with spotting but the test confirmed and also what I felt yesterday was period cramps.

Thanks everyone for support this cycle - I will be leaning on you again this month if you don't mind?

I hope to see your BFP's this month and give me more hope. This will now be my 5th cycle ttc. My little man was 10 cycles so it is all very familiar really!

Hope you are having better days?

Good evening ladies!

Had such a crappy day today. Had to work all day and have been sick with an upper respiratory tract infection and laryngitis all week. Then I had to go out to my sister's tonight to help set some things up for my other sister's stag and doe next weekend and my sister was a HUGE bitch! She was so rude and talks down to me about my pregnancy. Like I said my doctor said I couldn't take anything for my URTI and she said "Well, I don't believe that because we have the same doctor and he never said that to me." She pisses me off so much! She acts so holier than thou. She fell pregnant on her honeymoon and has a beautiful baby girl. She didn't have an easy pregnancy, but she has no idea what it's like to actually try to conceive and then lose a baby and then get pregnant again. Ugh!

Sorry - rant over!

Any predictions on if I'm having a boy or girl? Everyone else thinks it's a boy, but I feel like it's a girl.

I think girl as well!

Sorry you have been unwell and your sister is being like that! Hopefully you don't have to listen to much more of her rubbish and you feel better xx

I keep thinking it's a girl too! I don't know why. It's just a feeling I have!!

I am drawn towards girl now because you have been quite sicky during the 1st trimester! I am not usually very good at predictions though

In the grand scheme of things, I haven't been too bad. I've been sick periodically and have been very nauseous, but I've only thrown up about 10 times total. I've gagged a lot though. The backache is killing me this week!

Bless you - I still say girl! Wow where did 14 weeks and 5 days go??? That has flown!

Your sister is a nightmare - I bet you are used to her. Like you say attention seeking! You just tell her the bear minimum!!!

Hope your back gets better xxx

Now that I got that out…

Dashka – how are you? What DPO are you now – keeping FX for you You need a chart so I can stalk it! Maybe one day you can start an “All-Natural, Holistic TTC” journal & put that wealth of knowledge of yours in there? I’d stalk that for sure!

Gemmy – Also wanted to tell you I liked your comment about being sick last time you got BFP. I’ve heard a LOT of people say they were sick in 2ww when they ended up finding out they’re preg! The sicky-poos on this thread (& there are a lot) need that kind of hope – thanks!

Posey – oh, honey. I know its so hard & your situation makes even more stressful to TTC ASAP! Prayers & coming your way.

T2BC – YES, OPKs are much less expensive than IVF!!! Get on that & chart, if you aren’t already (www.fertilityfriend.com). You’d be surprised at all the new/great things you are going to learn & makes you feel like you are “doing everything you can” at least. So glad DH is “coming around”. I think a few of us had that little revelation recently w/DH’s! Don’t worry, I’ve been “on it” since Jan 2011 & my DH only last month actually “participated” in ov (somewhat) I got accused of wanting DH just “for his body” & “for his seed” too (lol). I said “yup, you’re right”. That ended that one. Good luck to you!

Beautiful – Hope you are feeling better soon! What DPO are you? Your ticker says Day 26 of 28 day cycle, so assuming you are 12DPO? If you can’t wait & have a stack of internet cheapies to burn thru, then TEST! Otherwise, I’d prob wait until AF due date – FX!

SarahA – oh, so sorry you are sick too! But, you can’t take anything for it? Here are some non-drug suggestions that may help: https://www.wheniampregnant.com/discomforts/infected-upper-respiratory-tract-in-pregnancy.html But if you aren’t getting better, there are some things out there that you can take that are safe: https://www.brooksidepress.org/Prod...ook/Pregnancy/upper_respiratory_infection.htm Be careful, little momma!

Moose – do you chart? If you aren’t getting +OPKs/iffy ones, then maybe use internet cheapies, but buy the CBE Digi (smileys) & use sparingly to confirm ov days? FX to you-

Kearahsmom – Welcome & good luck to you!

Ella – how are you doing? Looks like AF s/b done now & just waiting for that “daily” BDing to begin!

HELLO to everyone else in the 2ww – GL & !

Thanks lils.

Morning ladies.
Bit of a surprise this morning. Cd29 of what I was expecting to me a 33 day cycle and af turns up! Heavy and painful. So I prob ov'd a week early this month. Why can my body decide what it is doing and stick to it? I thought I was half way through my TWW!
Temp charting starts tomorrow and buying opks on the way home.
Let's do this!! (so glad DH is 100% on this too now)

We are all in this together Gemmy, and thanks to my crazy cycles we are both about the same. CD1 for me today. Here we go again!!

Sorry - not to be a "post-hog", but one more:

I FINALLY started back to my reiki circle this past week, so I wrote Dashka, Posey & Laura's names on piece of paper, put the "long distance healing" symbol on it & put it in the middle (folded over for privacy) so that when we send LD healing at the end of the session, the energy would go to you guys from all of us.

So, if you ever suddenly feel really relaxed or really good on a Wed night at "about" 9pm EST thats the healing energy "ki" coming your way! (rei="God" + ki="energy")

But if anyone else wants in, let me know & I'll add your names

(Laura - I orig. put your name on there for TTC & I know you don't really need that, but can be good energy for anything/everything/preg. still?)

You are so thoughtful it makes me happy knowing you were thinking of me, thank you xxx

Gemma i had such a good feeling it was your turn , i popped on tghis morning to check up on you.. always here if you need a chat, your bfp will happen

 

[gemmy]

Ah thanks t2bc and laura!

T2bc - yeah for the opks! And shorter cycles! My opks and my temping (but I find opks much more reliable - i temp for fun) let me know I ovulated on cd19 - much later than normal and sure enough af arrived a few days late - if I did guess work I would have been so confused! It's great that our cycles will run together, we can spur each other on. I will probably be cd1 tomorrow which is 13dpo. LP has been 13days so far. Just must stay relaxed as poss so not to ovulate late. I'm on cd 31 today - last month was just 28days. Glad your dh is up for this too. I could see the dissapointment in mine this morning but we will positively carry on xx

Laura thanks for checking on me and being there, you are lovely and glad to have "met" you on here. How is the sickness?? xx

Good evening ladies!

Had such a crappy day today. Had to work all day and have been sick with an upper respiratory tract infection and laryngitis all week. Then I had to go out to my sister's tonight to help set some things up for my other sister's stag and doe next weekend and my sister was a HUGE bitch! She was so rude and talks down to me about my pregnancy. Like I said my doctor said I couldn't take anything for my URTI and she said "Well, I don't believe that because we have the same doctor and he never said that to me." She pisses me off so much! She acts so holier than thou. She fell pregnant on her honeymoon and has a beautiful baby girl. She didn't have an easy pregnancy, but she has no idea what it's like to actually try to conceive and then lose a baby and then get pregnant again. Ugh!

Sorry - rant over!

Any predictions on if I'm having a boy or girl? Everyone else thinks it's a boy, but I feel like it's a girl.

I think girl as well!

Sorry you have been unwell and your sister is being like that! Hopefully you don't have to listen to much more of her rubbish and you feel better xx

I keep thinking it's a girl too! I don't know why. It's just a feeling I have!!

I am drawn towards girl now because you have been quite sicky during the 1st trimester! I am not usually very good at predictions though

In the grand scheme of things, I haven't been too bad. I've been sick periodically and have been very nauseous, but I've only thrown up about 10 times total. I've gagged a lot though. The backache is killing me this week!

Bless you - I still say girl! Wow where did 14 weeks and 5 days go??? That has flown!

Your sister is a nightmare - I bet you are used to her. Like you say attention seeking! You just tell her the bear minimum!!!

Hope your back gets better xxx

Thanks Gemmy! I know! The time has been going so quickly! Before I know it, I'll have a beautiful baby here in my arms!

My sister is just ridiculous. She was on mat leave until mid-February and wasn't too bad, but now that she's back at work, she's a nightmare. She just can't seem to shut her mouth. Even on facebook, she'll comment on my status and just be rude. What she doesn't seem to realize is that people see her as the bitch, not me.

Hope you get your BFP soon! Can't wait for another bump buddy!

Yes I have seen her comment!! (the float yr boat one) and it does come across very rude!!! I thought that when I read it before this post! You could hide your statues from her if you wanted!!

Thanks, I am working on a christmas baby this month Cycle 5 but worth the wait just like your little one xx

 

[Beautifullei2]

Still no AF but I tested this morning and got a BFN!! ... I feel so bad cause I was grumpy with DH !! Our time will eventually come!

 

[Posey]

LilS, you are the sweetest for thinking of all of us! I have heard good things about Reiki, I hope your positive energy does the trick for you and for all of us!

Ohhhh Gemmy and T2BC, that wretched . You're just behind me, she left me a couple of days ago... maybe we ARE supposed to have Christmas little ones! Sending you both strength, it's not easy when she shows up again and again.

Sarah, my goodness your sister sounds like a downer. Try not to let her get to you too much, although that must be difficult... x x

Ella, thank you for the lovely thoughts You're right, I just have to wait my turn

Beautiful, don't give up hope yet! You're not over until AF shows her face. Fx xo

Laura, hoping everything is going well for you! And I hope some of us ladies can join you and Sarah soon

Well, hubby goes for analysis today, hopefully everything shows up okay and we just carry on TTC...

to Wendy and Maria and everyone else too xo

 

[LilSluz]

Just popping in for a "quickie"

Gemmy & T2BC - awwww, blast that !!!

Gemmy - You are officially added to the reiki list!

T2BC - so glad you are going to start temping + OPK's. I think you'll at least feel a lot more aware of what's going on, when & what to expect. Just the temping/FF alone taught me a LOT

Beaut - its not over til she arrives - FX!

Posey -Good luck w/ test! My DH has to do that when he gets back too. Keeping everything crossed for you this month!!! I think YOU need to be our "BFP representative" for March 2012!

Ella - woooo, good luck on that 7-day marathon! You GO girl!

Dashka - how many DPO are you? FX, FX, FX!!!!!

Laura -

AFM - I fear I am not far behind you girls. 13DPO & tested I know I'm not out yet either, but I will probably get the dip tomorrow. Disappointed, too, but that's OK, I figured I'd be worried w/all 3 infections going on (& the meds for those infections) if it happened, anyway! I want to be in tip-top shape for that little embry. (Still sick but getting a little better...)

And besides, who would keep you girls company in next month's 2WW?

 

[LilSluz]

Oh yeah - SarhaA - I forgot to tell you - I think its a girl too!

 

[Beautifullei2]

Thanks Ladies!!! Im trying to stay positive! I thought for sure this was the month, sore breast, fatigue & the obvious no AF!! Maybe she will make a late appearance this month!

 

[wendyk1]

LilS, you are the sweetest for thinking of all of us! I have heard good things about Reiki, I hope your positive energy does the trick for you and for all of us!
