Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[ttcbabyisom]

I have to say I am bummed out - I went back to bed this morning until 9:30, so not like me. I had every symptom - every symptom; and then this morning even my bbs weren't at sore. They are now again though they are back feeling sunburnt.

So sad, I had in my head that this was my last month. I was no longer going to put my life on hold to keep trying and I was ok with that until now, after getting all these symptoms and feelings, I feel as if my head just got screwed with.

I am sure I will be better by next week. Once AF shows up, I can wrap my head around things again.

Just feeling so sad... I even had that dam teeth dream again... Really a BFN Really, I just cant understand.

I'm so sorry 20...it really does suck. This whole journey can be so stressful and disappointing. We just have to keep trucking on!!! It WILL happen for us!!! I just know it.

there is a lot I can say about young parents. I agree there are A LOT of people who shouldn't have babies but that also goes for older people too. I am very mature and responsible for my age. I was a nanny for 2 years to a baby with colic and who was constantly sick I watched him 19 hours a day(father worked out of town and mother was a third shift nurse) so I know mentally how to care for a child and financially my bf has a great job he's been a manager at a storage facility for the past 4 years and they offer him great benefits(including free housing). And I know no matter what happens in the future for him and I that our child will be #1 priority. The biggest reason why we've decided to start so young is because two years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and we realize the chances of us conceiving could be low and we want to do it naturally so starting younger gives us a little more time to make that happen.

Best of luck to you sweetie and must !!! What happened to your other post though? Did BNB take away what you wrote? I missed it. You take care and hang in there!

Ice- O my I am little underweight too and my cycles are long as well so maybe that's why. But I have 2 DD and been the same size for about 15 years so IT WILL HAPPEN BABE. Are you taking prenatal? My aunt whos a pharmacist highly recommends it when TTC.

Oh then there's hope I used to take prenatals for a long time but i stopped and switched it to just folic acid.

Good luck I just had my transfer yesturday and its my second frozen transfer so I feel the tingling like the last time, but it feels a little different on opposite sides.

Good luck Hope!!!

yes the #1 thing was headaches, I learned what a true migraine was 1st trimester with my first DD. I also remember my nipples being super sensitive, plus I the knot feeling in my stomach, it wasn't cramps but it just felt different. its actually super weird how when you get a BFP your preg symptoms go on overload. I remember feeling like I was an animal because my scent was INTENSE to the point perfume would make me nauseous, but that wasn't till after I got a BFP. btw I Am also testing 9DPO which is the 28th though. FX for us

I'm not having any changes to my breasts (color or sensitivity). Only thing new I am noticing today is that I am extremely bloated, but that could be a AF sign so who knows!

All I have to say is thank The Lord for this thread or I would be bugging the crap out of DH lol

Yes, this place is the best place to come and vent without bothering everyone else with our craziness!!!

Ice- I did MC October/2009 and I can tell you that our bodies are more fertile after M/C. Ok so I had sex ONE TIME when still spotting from my Miscarriage( it was our anniversary) in 6 weeks and that's how I got my youngest daughter. It was a complete blessing but I didn't get to grieve my loss. My youngest I had no issues. she was born via c section at 8lb 8oz. I am only 110 lbs so for me it was very big baby. Now with my first daughter she came into this world to early, 5weeks 1 days to early. They told my DH that she wasn't going to make it and for him to remove the baby clothes from recovery room so it wouldn't be as hard for me. I went for normal checkup and BOOM they couldn't find heartbeat, have me quick ultrasound and then aprox 35 mins my DD was brought into the world emergency c section. I didn't get to hold her for 6 hours, they had helicopter waiting and I was in such panic they knocked me out. She weighed 4lb 1oz and dropped to 3lbs 12oz although she was a preemie and so tiny she was 100% healthy besides jaundice. Her lungs were fully developed and even the doctors were shocked she was perfectly healthy. What ended up happening was she was so tangled in the umbilical cord that she was choking herself to death. Her foot was by her chin, so when she moved around it made her breathing difficult. She was a little bruised for few days but she is my miracle and I never felt love till that moment of laying eyes on her. Its the most powerful moment I ever felt till this day. I landed in hospital for dehydration from being so sick all the time and not gaining weight but for the most part I had healthy pregnancies. I am very excited for you to get your BFP so I can follow you on your amazing journey.

Wow, what an amazing story Loving. Sorry you had to go through all of that but I'm sure it's made you a stronger person today because of it. I pray you get your third little miracle here soon!!!

AF just got me

I hope everyone else has a better 2WW than I did.

Take care

Lovingnygirls- that's exactly how he feels sometimes, we are both so busy with our jobs that its hard to find time to BD but when I'm ovulating there is no if an'd or buts lol and I feel like he's starting to get tired if all of this.

Just a quick question for anyone, normally I am active and try to go running everyday. Do you think that will effect anything if I start again. I haven't been in about a week because I'm nervous it will somehow mess things up

That may be a really dumb question
Baby dust to all

That's not a dumb question Kelly. I wonder the same thing becuase i work out too and am always nervous to continue during the tww. I was told a long time ago that as long as you were already working out, etc., you can continue even into pregnancy, you just can't let your heart rate get above a certain number or you could overheat yourself and that can harm the baby. Continue working out, just maybe don't go as hard. Best of luck sweetie!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

well AF still isn't here, but I'm trying not to take a test until monday. I downloaded an app tracker that said it was suppose to start today but by my calculations it would start monday so just waiting it out. Good luck everyone!

BEST OF LUCK SWEETIE!!!

Ok so i decided to test today, since i had DT test sitting in my bathroom. And for the first time in my life i saw a second line on my test, it was extremely light pink, but i didn't have to twist or turn my test to see it. I tried to take a pic of it but my camera focus and lighting was not so good, so on the pic it's very hard to see it, you might not be able to see. My hands are shaking while i'm typing this I think i got my first bfp EVER!!!!

I will wait for a week and then test again...

OMG, OMG, OMG, i knew it, i knew it, i knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly- i am 9dpo and i think you are 8dpo so im curious when you are testing??

I'm 8 dpo today so we should all be testing around the same time. FF tells me to test on Aug. 5. I'm sure i will test on the 3rd or sooner. Exciting! I wish us all the best of luck and

Hi Talia, welcome to the 2WW

I guess we all know our bodies best, however our minds can also play tricks on us too. I started to think or notice things more.... Well I am on FF and I started to see a lot of coloured boxes LOL. but here you go here are my symptoms. hope this helps...

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..... cant focus..

Today is 8DPO and I am getting pinching on my right side how, and some stretching feelings too. Plus dizzy and gas lolololol!!!

sigh - most of these are Af symptoms though for a lot of people. its the pinching that's getting me!!!

I am about 8-9 dpo and I just had a sharp pain on my right side today. I don't know if that is anything or not. I have been dropping things like crazy too. I want so bad to think things are signs of pregnancy but I'm so afraid of getting my hopes up. I did have one night where I couldn't sleep and it felt like cramping. I appreciate the breakdown very much!!

No problem, however.... I got a BFN - I am not pregnant, it just goes to show that you can have every symptom under the sun and still not be.

Take care

Yep, very true. This happened to me last month and i was CONVINCED i was preggers and i wasn't. It was a complete let down.

I appreciate the breakdown very much!!

I was just reading where you said something about Heart palpitations...idk exactly but like 3 or 4 nights ago I was sitting on the couch with bf and it felt like my heart was skipping a beat and I felt like I wasn't getting enough air or something...last night the same thing happened. I didn't even think it could be anything to do with pregnancy..

I've had heart palpitations a few times this cycle too during this 2ww but also had them last month and no pregnancy. i wonder if it has something to do with the progesterone during the luteal phase? i thought it was a good sign until last cycle... :-/

 

[ttcbabyisom]

goodness I'm tired! I normally don't go to bed until 2-4a.m. lol waiting for bf to finish cleaning fish tank and changing water so we can go to bed! If AF doesn't show up tomorrow I am testing, wish me luck! *praying*

Good luck sweetie!!!

 

[IceQueen86]

Totally understand the shock! I remember staring at my test all the time just making sure there really was two lines and I wasn't going crazy lol. You're strong being able to keep that secret and not test again till the weekend! I'll be sure to keep checking in to see how it goes.

I've been good. Although feeling the comfortableness of the third trimester. Ready for it to be over with and meet my little guy already!

HAHAHAAAA that's exactly what i have been doing, been looking at the pix i took You are ready to be done with it and i'm ready to start my journey. I will update on the weekend

 

[ttcbabyisom]

dovkav123 - thanks hun! I didn't do anything different this month, i just didn't stress about it anymore. I was just thinking that i will try to BD at the right time, but if i missed it then oh well..my time will come when it supposed to come and while ago i stopped taking punch of supplements i was trying, now i only took V-D3, folic acid, RRL tea and i did Castor oil packs almost everyday before O and i started working out. I see you do castor oil too...how often?

I I have done castor oil for 2 cycles so far.: every day in the end of AF and before O. The second cycle AF was not crampy at all. I do beleave that castor oil heals every med. condition you have including infirtility.
Yes, I am using a regular termometer for BBT. I didn't buy the basal one because it was so expensive. It is silly reason. The old one I left at home, I thought I'll get preggo in Europe, changing the climate. I often have temps 36.7-36.8 after O.

It really would be best for you to get an actuall BBT thermometer. Why are they so expensive there? that's crazy. Sorry.

 

[IceQueen86]

WOW!!!! Yahoooooooooooo!!!!


Congrats, Ice! I know you have been TTC for awhile now. I don't come on B&B much anymore, but I stalk from time to time and I am glad I saw your post!! So, so, happy for you girl!!!

Thanks Wendy! I thought you moved on to some other thread. Your chart looks great, i hope you will get your long waited BFP! FX!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

I hope so too. I had an encouraging dip yesterday and then a nice rise today. Let's hope that means something good. I mean, it would be nice if these symptoms I'm having (including waking up in the middle of the night to pee) had a reason behind them, like pregnancy and not just lots of progesterone... But I guess we'll see. I'll give it three days and then I should be able to tell which way my cycle is going this month.

I'm still hoping that the HSG has made it nice and sticky in there and we'll get a sticky bean this month. (They told us not to TTC this month because of an increase in the chances of a ectopic and the early temp dip did make me go OMG for a minute...but we'll see how it goes).

Yes Ella, your chart looks super promising! Love that dip and huge rise today. Yay! I had a big dip yesterday and a small rise today but not big enough for me to like it. I'm hoping for another rise tomorrow. It's so crazy how different this cycle is than my last cycle. i'm sure it's the clomid. Goood luck girl!!!

[Kelly876]

Just tested BFN I'm only 9DPO though so I will try again tmrw I suppose

You still have a chance! How long is your LP usually?

Thanks! My fingers are crossed. I really feel different. My cycles are normally around 30 to 31 days if that's what LP means.... Sorry I'm not really sure of all the terms
