Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[sarah_anne]

Just Wishing - you aren't out yet, honey. This game isn't over until the arrives, so don't be discouraged!

Dashka - sending

Laura - how you feeling today? I hope you feel better!

SarahA - GOSH - 16 WEEKS!!!! How exciting - you MUST tell us the moment you find out the sex!

Thanks LilSluz!! We're pretty excited! Hubby still thinks it's a boy, but I have a feeling it's a girl! I'm actually hoping it's a boy though because I don't care what we have as long as it's healthy and happy and hubby wants a little boy so much!

Sorry, but I REALLY think its a girl! ohhhh I wish I was having anything right now, but a lil girl? how precious! I know - I'm jumping the gun, but its def a girl...

I really thought it was a girl, but had a dream last night that it's a boy! He had my husband's dark hair and he was so beautiful! We even named him Henry, which is one of our names!

 

[sarah_anne]

Sarah- (I thought it but forgot to post it) Happy avocado!! Soon you'll have a little onion and then when it's a sweet potato, you'll find out the sex. I'm still sticking to boy. Going with Keri is a good bet, I think, since she had a feeling you were pg and you were and she says boy. Are you going to do something really cutesy to reveal the sex or are you just going to tell people?

AFM- CROSSHAIRS!!! Okay..I shouldn't really be so excited about it...but I am. Though, looking at my chart, apparently I didn't BD on ov day (and I can't remember if we did or not, because it felt like we were BDing all the time, and all the days kind of melt together) and that's kind of surprising since I saw the temp dip that day...but at least we did the morning after ov. I suppose I shouldn't worry too much about that since last time we caught the eggy, we had only BD'd three days before ov. So here's to holding out hope we caught the egg.

Haha. Thanks Ella! 2.5 weeks until we hopefully know what our little bean is! We went out to a store that's closing last night and bought a green high chair! We want gender neutral furniture so that we can use it for our other children. There's a swing that matches too that I'm still thinking about, so I might go back for it.

I really want a boy now. I wanted a girl when we first found out, but now I'd love to have the first boy in my family. My parents have three daughters and now one granddaugher (my niece).

Yay for crosshairs! Don't worry about BD-ing. We only did it ONCE in my fertile window last time because we didn't know when it was after my miscarriage and I got pregnant right away again! FX for you love!

 

[LilSluz]

Ella - yay for crosshairs!!!! Don't worry, I get so excited just to ov, too. Its like Christmas morning every (hopefully) month. You've done all you can this cycle - FX &

Sarah - awwww, if you want a boy & had a dream about one then I want it to be a boy too!!!! But like you said - a happy & a healthy one is most important thing of all (just so much fun to try to predict)

Curley - Its not over til she shows her ugly face (you never know!). But even if she does come, ov IS something to get excited about for a lot of us, too!

I'd love a girl too, but dreaming about the little boy made me want one so bad! It's weird how one dream can change everything I've been feeling. I really felt like it was a girl until this morning. Now I feel like it's a boy (100%!). Crazy!

 

[gemmy]

Sarah - get the swing! It was my one regret, I finally bought one when my son was 12 weeks already - so he grew out of it so quickly. Because before he was born I had just gone crazy in babies r us with the i love my bear range i had already got him a vibrating chair. well that was a waste of time and space because he hated it. But he loved being swung manually in his car seat or just generally being held. he suffered a lot with colic/reflux or general wind. He would not go in his pram or moses basket where he would lie flat. i hadn't bought a swing worrying about space but when he was 11 weeks or so am I put him in a friends swing it sent him to sleep so I got one realising i would get more use out of it second time. He did love being in that swing, it calmed him down and gave me my arms back from time to time. But I look back now and always wish that I had it from the start. xx

Thanks Gemmy! Good to know! I think that I will go back tomorrow and get it! It's usually $160 and on for $120, so it's a good deal. My niece is a year and tried it at the store with me and she loved it (it has an adjustable seat with an extender for longer legs).

So I'm thinking and HOPING that my O date got pushed back. because I'm having a lot of creamy cm now and that usually comes before my O my bb's have been sore for two weeks now.. according to my charting this is cd 24 but my af should come the 28th but i had a mc a couple months back so everything is getting back on track so hopefully i Ovulate this week and can BD all week and then be in my two week wait fingers crossed. [= some symptoms I've had this week feel super sick in the morning for about 20 mins then I'm good.. peeing all the time. weird dreams. and always tired. but hey it could all be in my head since I'm not positive if i O'd this month yet. haha eek. [=

 

[curleymumma]

Sounds promising!!! GL

 

[bree801]

Thanks you too!! I'm anxious to know how things turn out for you!

 

[Lillyrose20wd]

Really feeling quite down this morning. My temperature really dropped this morning,but it is still above coverline. My temp shot up at CD 8 & 9 so I was hoping that I had implanted on those days and my chart would be triphasic The only thing that is giving me any bit of hope is that I didn't have a dip before my temperature rose so maybe today is my implantation dip and tomorrow my temp will rise again. FX'd.

This is so sad and pathetic that a chart can have such an impact on the beginning of my day. My emotions swing from one day to the next. Yesterday I would have sworn that we finally did it and I was pregnant now today I feel like I'm out and it's on CD 10.

Sorry to be such a bummer today ladies. Hope we get some more BFP on this thread soon!

 

[dashka]

ARGH!!! I just lost a really long post!!! .....argh....

Well I'll make this one shorter - sorry!
Hope you are all well! sorry I haven't posted in a while - I've been really sick the last week and a half...but meds are finally working and now just have a cough now and then. I wasn't sleeping more than 1-2 hrs /night before because the coughing was so bad. I'm sure that is what brought on AF a day or two early - you really use those abdomen muscles when you're coughing so hard!

Laura - so sorry you're feeling sick.... How terrible about the wrong meds! glad you caught it!! Hope you feel better soon! xox

Lils - thanks for always making me laugh - you are one special gal!! XO Good luck with your test results ... fx....

Posey - hope you are doing well...and post anytime you feel up to it...

Wendy and Ella - good luck and hope you caught that eggy this month!! xoxo

Sarah - congrats on your avocado! hope you're well...

Gemmy - wow you sound stressed - but must be not knowing when you are moving... Breathe in ...breathe out......

Welcome to all the new ladies and hello to anyone I missed!

Have a great weekend!!

 

[curleymumma]

Sorry to be such a bummer today ladies. Hope we get some more BFP on this thread soon!

[/QUOTE]

hey babe, dont be sorry- we are all in the same boat!!!



Sometimes it almost becomes tunnel vision trying to fall pg, mt obsession scares me sometimes.... But i think we all here understand that- thats what we are here for, take a deep breath, and remeber the less you stress, the more likely you are to get what you want (i sure know thats easier said than done, but its also true!!!)

 

[cloud46]

Going crazy here, 7 or 12dpo here!

 

[just_wishing]

Well it's 10 dpo for me. Didn't have anymore spotting...just that once at 8 dpo. Really hoping it was implantation!!

Not getting so much cramps now, just strange sensations in lower abdomen. The weirdest thing is probably the feeling in my bbs. Not sore, as such, just have a feeling in them like they are heavy and filled with a fizzy drink!! LOL I know that sounds so so strange but it's the best description!
There is no way I'm going to test until 2nd April. Was really tempted to buy hpt today while out shopping with dh but i fought back the urge

How is everyone else feeling today?? Hope this thread is filled with BFPs really soon

to all!!!!

Have you got a thermometer around? I think if you start charting your temps now, things will become much clearer, including knowing if you ovulated or not (or are about to ovulate). If your temperature jumps up more than .3 degrees F in a day, then you'll know that you ov'd.

Is it possible that you've already ovulated? If so then your temps will be high, if they stay high, that's a good sign. If they drop, it could be a sign that AF is on her way....

Either way, I hope you get you BFP this cycle!!

Lilly. I know the feeling. But looking at your past charts, your LP is usually pretty long 13-15 days, so a dip in your chart today (10DPO) could be an implantation dip. It could go either way, really, so don't give up! It's not over until AF shows her ugly face!

I'm glad you're feeling better! Sorry your sickness was so bad. Definitely missed you around these parts. Hopefully AFs visit is short and sweet (if not already over) so you can get back on the TTC train and join us in the TWW soon!

Those symptoms sound really promising! Good on you for waiting to test. I know it's hard, but it's probably less emotionally taxing. I hope April brings you a BFP!

 

[Joanne1311]

Hi everyone,

I'm 13dpo today, was looking promising until today now my bbs are not so tender and I have become a little snappy

I am new to posting so bear with me whilst I get used to all the abbreviations,

I'm still trying to think positive for my


Hope you get yours to

Do you have spotting often? The only time I EVER had spotting was when I got my first BFP. I've also heard that a heavy feeling in your breasts is a good sign too! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!! Why are you waiting so long to test though? How long is your lp typically?

 

[wendyk1]

Hi ladies,

I am 7 dpo, and hanging out. I am having some mild cramping and backache, really hope that is a good sign

Question for everyone-can drinking caffeine mess with implantation?

 

[sarah_anne]

I don't know to be honest Wendy. I drank a small amount of caffeine during my last TWW and it didn't affect anything. But I always kept it to less than 50mg and you can have up to 200mg even when pregnant, so I don't think it would have too adverse of an effect on implantation. I haven't had a drop of caffeine in about four months.

 

[curleymumma]

Ok Gals, today im cd28- and i jumped up and did a FMU and got a (drum roll....) So im a bit down- however the only saving grace is that even though im cd28, im not 14dpo, im prob about 12 dpo.

SO, more waiting... its amazing how long 14 days can be.....

At the moment i want the mostly so that i dont have to go through the TWW again next month! THis has been my worst one yet!

Good luck gals, anyone else getting near the end of the TWW???
