Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[DBZ34]

This morning's temp was pretty good. Still up. DH is getting excited but I tried to tell him not to get his hopes up just in case I'm just on a 14 day LP. I had some mild cramps this morning too and as much as I want to believe this is it, I'm still expecting AF...Maybe if my temp is still up tomorrow I'll start believing it. But please know how much I totally appreciate you ladies being so encouraging! I don't know what I would do without you!

Last night I had little cramping before bed so like always went pee before bed and BAM there she was. Af came ... My Dh was even upset which made it harder. He said good news is I can have few drinks at beach but really I could careless.

Ice- Wow you are SO patient... I couldnt withhold something that special in million years. My dh would know I was keeping something. Im sure your DH will be ecstatic to hear such great news.

Do you guys think my Ovulation days are right on this chart? my Last cycle was 44 days now this one is saying 36 days. But really since coming off BCP I have no flipping clue. What dates should I use the OPK?? any suggestions??

I'm so sorry AF came. Looking at your chart, the ovulation day seems pretty spot on. You got a pos opk the day before and you had a good temp dip. A shorter cycle is a good thing. Hopefully your body will continue to regulate itself and you'll get your BFP!

I'm like really freaking out right now, i don't have an insurance yet maybe it will take weeks to get it and i don't have 100-eds of dollars at the moment to pay for this blood test. Called planned parenthood they said they don't do no beta or progesterone levels. SO i'm very worried now, since i'm a bit underweight and i've read that women who are underweight can have low prog. and have a bigger change to mc. Should i order natural progesterone cream and use this until i can go and see the doc or get that blood test done?? You know just in case my levels are low...what yall think????

ICE I wouldn't start taking progesterone! I was a bit underweight as well and didn't have a problem they even had in my chart "low BMI" and never put me on any kind of progesterone. My advice and I know its hard because I worried about it too is to just enjoy being preg and not worry about MC. Being on these type of boards we see so many women suffer from MC so of course we think it could most def happen to us too. But that's not good for you or the baby to think that way just try to stay positive!

I'm with Mimz, Ice. Don't start the progesterone cream. Try not to freak out about betas or blood tests just yet. Your test is getting progressively darker, which is a good sign of HCG levels increasing. Some women get betas, but some women don't get anything like that (like women who live in the area I do). They don't even get an ultrasound until after 10-12 weeks, so until then it's wait and see. (If this month is my month, I'm going to have to beg for an ultrasound to make sure it's not in my tubes). But try not to worry, Ice. Enjoy this time!!! You're preggo!! That's fantastic!

ICE - People keep talking about this dark test you took, i didn't see it!!! Can you post again or what page is it on???

Your chart looks great!!! Test again in few days. Oh the test pic is on page 1144

Really, you think my chart looks great even with all the dips? Thanks Ice. You give me hope. Page 1144? I think you're missing a number.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Update from me - So today i tested again to see if my first test was correct and if my line will be darker and yes now i can be sure that i'm def preggo. I tried to put the pic in the spoiler but it didn't work ...

One more thing i wanted to mention to women here who are symptom spotting, this time i had EWMC 4,5 and 7 dpo (that's what made me think that i might have missed my O) I googled it back then and all the women who had it around the same time ended up with bfp's. So this looks like a good sign!

Keeping my FX for all the friday testers!

I found it! This is a GREAT BFP!!! I love it!!! Very nice and dark!!!

Went back and looked at past charts...I had one similar last July. Almost triphasic, 14 day LP...so now I'm back to no knowing what's going on just yet. But I'm planning on testing on Sunday if there's no sign of AF. Two more days? I can do that.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Wow, i don't know HOW you haven't told your hubby yet!!! There's no way I could keep that a secret. Will he be mad you didn't tell him right away??? Good luck!!!

I have learned to become patient lol. Noo he's not gonna be mad, i will tell him that i wanted to make sure before i told him

Well good for you! How exciting. How are you going to do it? Do you have anything special planned?

GL ill say a little prayer!! really hope this is your month!!!

Ice- babe listen, Do NOT stress, as I said I am underweight too and blood test is NOT a necessity and when and IF when you see a doctor and they recommend it than fine. Unfortunately no matter what anyone does nobody can prevent a miscarriage. Do not use or take anything. Think about back in the day centurys ago they didn't have all this tests and bloodwork and people had perfectly healthy children. Im sure your bean is nice and sticky therefore.. DONT STRESS. As I said before my gyno didn't want to even see me till after I turned 6 weeks so you have plenty of time to get your insurance figured out before you see IF you even need a blood test. Stay calm sweets, everything is just fine. Some people don't even confirm they are pregnant till they are MONTHS and they are perfect so NO WORRIES!!

*sigh* Temps on a downward trend at this point...I'm pretty sure AF is going to show up in a couple of days. Boo. Well, it was nice while it lasted. I did a little wallowing this morning and DH tried to cheer me up, which was cute but I think I'm going to be down today. I won't go on my planned wine binge until I'm sure AF is coming, but it's looking pretty likely. Oh well, on to the next cycle (in a couple of days)!

So I thought that AF was starting a day early with very light spotting( had to go searching for it-tmi I know, I'm sorry) that continued yesterday. We are now day 2 after it was suppose to start and there is nothing still. I am still getting bfn's. Could that be implantation bleeding this late and my hormones just aren't high enough yet?

Ice- Don't stress that will do no good for you or the baby. I've had a few friends who are under weight have perfectly healthy pregnancies and most docs wont do a blood test or even see you until 8 weeks. I'm sure everything is perfectly fine, just enjoy it and try to be stress free!

Actually, in retrospect, I think it couldn't hurt to start the progesterone, but you shouldn't stop using it until you're past 12 weeks if you do start. Stopping spontaneously could lead to m/c. So when it's time to stop, make sure you slowly phase it out.

But congratulations!! I'm still so chuffed for you!
