Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[IceQueen86]

Ice, Seriously thank you, you taught me so much already, haha lol, and that website really helped me out and Im not sure if its a good or bad thing but I cant reach up that far to find my cervix, hopefully its cause I ovulated??(wishful thinking) If tomorrows temp is high again I will be FX. I am starting to stalk peoples charts to get a better understanding of them.

That's definitely a good thing if you can't reach it! Waiting to see your today's temp FX!

 

[IceQueen86]

Can anyone tell me why FF bumped up my CHs to the 14th now(from the 13th), my temp went up again this morning - is this why?

how depressing ...........

I'm not 100% sure, but i'm thinking that maybe FF did it because you still have +opk's on CD14 and CD15

You still have the same huge chance to get your bfp as you did when your CH was on CD13

I tried to remove the 3rd + and it didn't change anything. *sigh*
just have to wait and see I guess.

Try to remove the 2nd one too and just mark it in your notes in FF. Your coverline looks too high...

 

[IceQueen86]

First of all Ice, your chart is looking AMAZING!!!

Second, i am going to have to try your method of keeping the cycle talk on the dl. I think it's really starting to stress my hubby out and it's becoming not so fun for us anymore. When i do stop talking about it though, he does ask me questions sometimes. Also he can hear my temp thing go off every morning so not sure how to keep it a secret. I need to buy a silent temp thing or one that's very very low. Mine is super loud. I like how you handle it though. Truly the less they know the better. I'm so bad about that.

Thanks and to reply to my other post where i said i think i missed my O, i hope i'm wrong too

Men get stressed out the same way we do. So just try to talk about it less and don't tell him that ok tomorrow we have to start BDing lol, he will get stressed out the same evening you tell him that lol. So if he wants to know something he will ask you like you said. Plus when you do start BDing you can wear something nice for me, to take his mind off of BDing and make him feel more special. I have even noticed in forums that women say their DH's feel like women want them only for their swimmers and that's the only reason they BD with them And you do not want him to feel that way.
What i do with my therm. when i hear the first peep i will quickly push it deep down under the blanket, close to my knees and let it finish peeping there. You can still hear a bit but it's not as loud as it is if you hold it outside.

your temp is still climbing, i sure hope you didn't miss it! Wow, great chart!

Yes yes, i know...i'm going to work on this but when i see that positive opk and get other signs, i get all excited. sometimes i don't say a word but try to lure him other ways and most of the time, he just doesn't get the hint or follow my lead so i have to hint why i'm pushing so much...then he's like "OH...ok!" Men!
Yeah, i do that with my thermometer too. My new one beeps way longer though. So stupid! He, he...

Thanks! If he doesn't get it i guess you have to say it straight out How long does your therm. beep? Mine beeps 4 times.

Yep...
my new one beeps like 6 times, it's so annoying and louder.

Beeping forever!

Thanks - I hate the 2ww brain.

AF is to show up and ruin my fun on July 26th HOWEVER:

I Od on july the 14th

1 DPO - having to pee a lot felt a little ill (normal for me though right after Oing)
2 DPO - Bloated --- hungry --- still having to pee -- and a little dizzy
3 DPO - bbs sore & full --- heart palpitations ---- pinching on left side - dull cramps
4 DPO -Still hungry --Irritable and will bite(LOL)--- still pinching - still dull cramps
5DPO - back hurts - dull headache - bloated I could float - crazy irritable - starving - BBs are tender & full --still getting pinching --Emotional
6 DPO - still getting the pinches, kind of mild cramp, tired, headache.
7DPO - pinching on the left side still, cramping, tired, headache, last night I thought someone was sitting on my chest with the my heart & anxiety and dam it I cant get this awful taste out of my mouth, BBs still sore.....

Yes ladies I do understand that it is way to early to have most of these signs, however, I am. Grrr -- 5 days left till AF, I HATE THE 2WW BRAIN!!!

Sigh...so this is the beginning of our tww. We are so anxious for a BFP. The last BFP we had was both exciting and short lived. I made it to 7 weeks and had a miscarriage. Keeping our fingers crossed.

I'm praying for you all this cycle!!!

Husband comes home tmrw night and I ovulated yesterday. So I will be at 2 DPO... I'm reading online that after DPO you really don't have a
Chance to conceive.

Any thoughts?

 

[20yearslater]

as long as you know for sure you did, (with temp) then ya sorry, even at 1DPO they say its scarce but could happy usually because you Od later than you thought.

Sorry Hun

20years later, hopefully its your MONTH than you can throw some dust to us .

BTW my chart is reading I o'd today?? im lost, so aggravating, my DH is asleep so Im hoping Friday was the day so I didn't miss it. my temp stayed higher today, so im guessing that's good sign. I hope tomorows temp is up I will be so FX

 

[EMC00P]

Thanks, we appreciate it very much. I'm just trying to keep my excitement down a little. DH isn't as comfortable with putting a title on what we are up to. He would rather play it by ear so it doesn't get boring.

Sigh...so this is the beginning of our tww. We are so anxious for a BFP. The last BFP we had was both exciting and short lived. I made it to 7 weeks and had a miscarriage. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Hi everyone... hope you girls don't mind me jumping in... I'm angela
I've been reading the posts from Page 1 since my 4dpo (today's my 9dpo) and now am on Page 471 lol... it has helped a lot in keeping me sane during this torturous TWW...
I'm definitely a POAS addict and this time round I started testing on 4dpo of course BFN what did I expect really...
Trying very hard to be patient but it's not easy...
Love all your posts and they sure help make time pass a little quicker

to everyone!

Welcome Angela08 and best of luck to you!!! You're 9dpo so hopefully you'll be testing soon. How long are your cycles normally? Do you know what your luteal phase usually is? and

Hi ttcbabyisom!
I have been testing since 4dpo sad i know...
4dpo - BFN (FMU)
7dpo - BFN (evening)
9dpo - BFN (evening)
10dpo (this morning) - BFN (FMU)

I went a little overboard yesterday at the drug store, bought i-forgot-how-many HPTs different brands... There was a moment of insanity where I just kept loading my basket with the HPTs... as if buying more would increase my chances (Sorry for the rant...)
So last night used 3 diff ones and still got BFN... 2 of those were 12.5 mIU/ml and 15 mIU/ml.
I was expecting the BFN but still disappointed nonetheless... Got up this morning and thought hey its 10dpo yay let's try another test... and yeah disappointment again.
Think I'm gonna keep testing everyday till BFP or AF .

Actually my cycles are pretty irregular ranges from 21 - 30 days!
But my LP is pretty consistent at 12-14 days. So I'm guessing the witch will probably get me this Sunday...

Oh girl, it's ok. I completely get where you're coming from! I've had cycles like that where I started testing way too early and once you start, you can't stop! Well i send you all the baby dust in the world for a BFP on Sunday and I hope to O on or before Sunday! He, he...good luck to both of us!!!

Just dropped in for quick update...
14 dpo (yesterday) : Got BFP! (On 4 difference tests including the CB digital which puts me at 1-2 weeks)

GL to everyone here! And to all!!!

Did you use an OPK on Thursday, usually they say on the second day of + you O..... but in saying that I know I Od on the first + day and I had 3+ in a row. I know I Od because I completely lost my sex drive( this seldom to never happens to me-LOL) and my cervix dropped.

If I had to guess - I would say you haven't yet. Only because your temps are not above your Pre Ovulation temps. Sorry hun Keep temping and checking your CP, are you high or low?

I have to agree with 20yearslater here, it looks like you haven't O'd yet. I will come and check on you later to see what your today's temp will be. If it will be higher than all the others then it's possible that you did O and your temps will climb up as a stairs with little fall back rises. FX!
You are not out yet, the latest O i have had was CD36!

[LovingMyGirls]

YEAHH! congrats Angela08

 

[IceQueen86]

LovingMyGirls- Crosshair!!!! YAY!!! You coverline is kinda low, i think when your temps keep climbing it MIGHT move your O day to CD27...

 

[LovingMyGirls]

Temp still stayed high, that's good right?? I finally for first time got the CH in my chart. My AF is supposed to show up tomorrow (on 28 day cycle) but I don't think for a second it will. I am thinking my new cycles since off BCP are 42 days. SO we shall see. I would rather not get AF and just not know (wishful thinking) lol Although I am new to checking the CP. It is soft up there and hard to reach still. I am anxious to see when it feels different so I know what to compare. We didn't DTD last night but I have like whitish EWCM. Doesn't stretch to far but it does stretch and not pull apart. sorry for those of your that think that's TMI.
