Hi My beautiful 2WW'r Ladies -

I am sorry but at the present moment my brain seems to be fried & I cannot remember anything I just read. (& I read it twice). You guys know me - I can usually remember everybody, everything they've done, what they are going thru, where they live, how old they are, but right now I am suffering from CRS (Can't Remember Sh**).

I had a rough mc & I was not prepared for it, as I thought "its only a 5-weeker, so it shouldn't be that bad, right?". Well, I have a cyst on the left that ended up giving me shooting pains into my thigh the WHOLE time, had my mc happening out of the rt side and then the pressure of it all was so bad that it pushed my lumbar discs up against my spinal cord (where i had 6 surgeries in 2010), so that was why it was very, very painful for me this time.

I will hopefully get my brain back soon & be able to respond to everyone properly, but just wishing all of you a quick 2WW with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...

Omg! Temp up more today!

98.3

Lately its been around 97.8-97.9! I read this is a good sign for 9dpo! Omg! Its soooo hard not to test right now!

A temp rise is good around 9DPO, but keep in mind it could be a natural fluctuation. See what tomorrow's temp looks like. If it's still up, maybe your chart will go triphastic, which is a really good sign.

I would give it another day or two before you test (gives the hormones more time to build up and you'll get a better line if there's more hcg in there). I can't wait to hear what happens.

I know I'm so excited! So far a temp spike at 7 dpo and now a temp rise at 9 dpo! And I can't stop peeing like every 45 mins! And crampy this evening but on the full side! Got my mother in law to bake me a ham! Yes a full ham!!! Mmmmmm

Do you have a chart we can stalk?

A girl! How wonderful. I think I went with boy before, but all day yesterday, I was thinking "I bet it's a girl." Totally covered. lol. Hooray!!! So are you settling on a name or are you going to keep a couple of options open until she arrives? So happy she showed you the bits this time! Yay!

Yahoo for a baby girl for Sarah
Lil, are you doing ok honey???

And welcome to the new ladies!

I am 6 dpo today, and finally have stopped spotting. I had a headache today, a little bit of backache, and sore nipples. That is it for me. Temp is high- 98.8....going to wait to test until at least 10 dpo. I don't know if I can take another BFN.

Good luck everyone!

Wendy! So only 4 or 5 more days until testing! I'm so looking forward to seeing if your BFP!

Eeeek im only 4dpo and going crazy! How do you ladies do it!?

Mostly hanging around here really...lol. I'm 5DPO today. When are you planning on testing?

tonight was rough at my workout. I just couldn't do as much or as long. I was so tired and my muscles just couldn't handle it, plus the heat was too much even in the hot tub after my workout. Shew! I'm pooped! I usually work out every night for around 2 hours but tonight I just did a little over an hour and felt more exhausted! :/

That sounds like an interesting symptom...I would probably really limit hot tub time until you know if you're pg. And if you are, you should avoid the hot tub entirely (or stay in less than 10 minutes total).

I don't want to alarm you, but raising your temp so high (in the hot tub) in early pregnancy can increase the risk of birth defects. A warm/hot bath is better if you want to relax, because the water cools off, where as in a hot tub, it doesn't.

Thanks Ella! We have a few names in mind, but we're going to wait until she's here to decide fully. Who knows - she may not look like the name we picked out for her!

And I completely agree about the hot tub thing. You should always stay away from those after ovulation if you're ttc because they can cause miscarriages and birth defects from the extreme heat.

I feel like I'm catching a head cold. Sneezing and runny nose. Bleh. I despise colds. :/ And my hubby said I'm hot to the touch especially the lower half of me.

Welcome to the new ladies, good luck to everyone.

Anyone close to testing? My 2ww has only just begun so I will be stalking for bfp from all you ladies

Hi honey,
I am 7 dpo....probably test about 11-12 dpo. I was a raging bitch today so I hope that means I am PG!!! Also had a headache....Are you 1 dpo?

 

[wendyk1]

Aww shit Lil. I am so so sorry. You do not deserve this...is there anything I can do? We are here for you.

[bree801]

I know it seems like I'm
Just rambling! But I talked to my doctor about what's been going on and my cycles have been super off for the past three months! I started fertibella a month and a half ago I didn't ovulate last month so I had no idea when it would happen this month. So I got a very positive opk today most positive one I have ever had! And the ewcm the past couple days it because I'm now ovulating so yay! I'm super excited we've been bd'ing on and off for the past two weeks! So as long as we keep it up hopefully it will be a good cycle! Haha sorry writing all this down in here just makes me feel better about a lot of things! My cycle is now HOPEFULLY back in track! hah

Spotting was my first sign of pregnancy last time! After a day or two of spotting I went and tested and got my bfp!! So goodluck!! I'm so excited for you!!

Oh, Big big Lil! I'm so sorry to hear that you were in such pain. You're allowed some CRS....don't worry about it. Are you feeling better now? We've missed you here on the TWW.

I feel like I'm catching a head cold. Sneezing and runny nose. Bleh. I despise colds. :/ And my hubby said I'm hot to the touch especially the lower half of me.

You'll be hot to the touch in the lower half no matter what. It's what happens during the TWW, because of the extra progesterone in your body. But coupled with that possible IB and your symptoms, you could be on to a BFP! Brown spotting on the toilet paper could indeed be IB, from implantation...which might have been when you felt those cramps the other day. If you do test today with FMU, I hope hope hope you get your BFP! How exciting.

But don't be discouraged if you get a BFN, it could be that the HCG still needs time to build up! Some women don't get BFPs until a couple days after their IB. Go get that FRER and keep us updated!!

Ovulation has a tendency to get crazy, especially when your paying attention to it. I saw FF took away your crosshairs. But with that super temp dip and the positive opk, I hope this is ov for real this time! And feel free to write down your thoughts. It's what BnB is here for. And we're here for you, to help you through your TWW!

 

[gemmy]

Lils - so sorry you have been in so much pain, i can't even begin to imagine, it is lovely to see you back and just take it easy x

Jessica - wow hun i think you are going to be our next bfp! All your signs are great - and your chart! i really want some high temps now!

wendy - ohh not long until your testing time, fx for you, i really hope this is your month! Yes i must have been 1dpo, today would be 2dpo judging by my chart. I will be more certain tomorrow when i should get cross hairs. If i wasnt temping and was just using opk i would agree with my my ticker and think i was 4dpo.

Bree - good luck with catching the egg, glad you are ovulating and getting lots of bd ing. right here with you for the 2ww!

good luck babyhopefull and everyone else

I would wait a little while still Jessika. If it is IB, it means that you're just implanting and the HCG won't be high in your urine for a few days for a HPT to pick up. I'd wait at least until tomorrow or Friday, but even then you may not have enough HCG to detect until Sunday or Monday. FX for you!

 

[JessikaKnupp]

FIRST OFF THANK YOU TO YOU ALL! YALL ARE SO SUPPORTIVE AND I AM VERY BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND THIS THREAD WITH SUCH AMAZING WOMEN! PRAYING FOR ALL YOUR BFPs!!

and so I'm still waiting for the hpt but just wanted to tell you guys I had three different dreams last night of BFPs and woke up this morning and my boobies HURT SOOO BAD, so bad that I asked hubby to hug me from the side!!!!
