Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[EMC00P]

So I took a test this morning....BFN. DH suggested we test again in a couple days. We will see.

 

[Wishing2bmom]

Today am on 14 dpo. Took a test yesterday (afternoon) and it showed BFN. I'm going to give a couple more days to see what happens.

No symptoms of AF. Perfectly alright except mild cramps.

Any comments?

I gave birth to my baby at 16.5 weeks 5.5 weeks ago our 4th child. Havent had af since. We have never actively ttc before. I am pretty sure I ovulated last we'd or thurs as I had positive opk both those days and also had major cramps especially on the Thursday and then spotting the Friday. So I'm 4dpo. I'm going absolutely nuts with this 2ww. Symptom spotting everything. I had amid heavy achy feeling until today. Slight nauesia (offish) feeling today. Frequent urination but I'm not sure if its more frequent than usual haha And sharp boob pains on and off. We bd last Monday, Wednesday , Thursday so fingers crossed. I'm pretty sure ill die if I'm not pregnant. I can't handle af since I have lost our sweet angel

TTCBabyisom, LovingMyGirls, dovkav123, and Ice: thank you for the good luck wishes and support! I had you all from this forum in mind and it helped so much!!!

MummyDonz: here's how my appointment went.

It was OK. I was very nervous but my doctor didn't acknowledge or asked how I was feeling, and I didn't bring it up either. He went straight to business. I wish he had at least asked if I was concerned about something specific, or how I was doing, but once I realized that's how he rolled I was OK with it. I just had to ask about anything I wanted to know 'cause he wasn't going to bring it up.
So, he asked about my medical history, and how my periods were. Since we'd been trying for a year and not succeeded, he'd order blood tests and exams to see how things were working. He send me right away to get a vaginal ultrasound done and he did a gynecological examination. He saw that the lining in my uterus is uneven and that my left ovary is too close to the uterus, so he suspected of scarring. So, he said I'll do an HSG between CD5-CD12 (but before ovulation) to get a better look and that will give the cause of these issues. I'll also do a comprehensive blood test on CD2.
DH did an SA and the lab tech took a quick peek and said "It looks good". He was so relieved! That was very good news!
That was it. I'll keep you posted on how the HSG goes, which will probably be in about 1 1/2 week.

Of course there's still a chance I'm pregnant now and this is all irrelevant! Wouldn't that be great?! I'll test on Wed, 12DPO. But, since the doc saw those irregularities with my uterus I'm guessing it's unlikely. I don't want to get my hopes up. I'll just go about my business as if I'm not preggo and I'll test Wed and see.

Sorry for the super long post! This forum and you ladies have been an invaluable support system for me. I can't thank you enough!!!

How come you haven't been temping? Because of the extra stress it adds? I don't blame you!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

I forgot to mention that my doctor doesn't believe in temp'ing. He said I could stop with it, unless I like doing it. He said to use OPKs and when I get a positive BD that day and the day after - no need to BD every other day for a week...Again, his words, not mine....

Ha, just now reading this post. I like to temp just to confirm O and then I guess it would be less stressful to stop temping once it's confirmed. Every doc has something different to say. It's crazy.

Sorry but i still have high hopes for you!!!

Yeah, I had confirmed O already so I stopped. Last cycle my temps went up and down and I went nuts trying to make sense of it. I didn't want that to happen again, so I stopped. One more morning and I can POAS, so I'll get my confirmation pretty soon!!!

Hello everyone I'm a newbie.. I'm 11dpo haven't tested yet afraid of seeing a bfn �� tomorrow imma test with fmu on a cheap dollar pt.. I wish everyone a whole bunch of BabyDust

 

[MishishMosh]

Okay so I am new to B&B and have been combing through this thread like a crazy woman in her TWW...because thats what I am at the moment. Okay so TTC #1 with my new hubby Got off BCP on July 26th. AF started July 27th. I am currently 3DPO if my math/charting serves me well. So far I've had swollen tonsil/sore throat since 1DPO. Last two days I have been so bloated and gassy that my husband is now scared of my little butt. I am also very thin and I look like I was just in a eating competition. SOOOOOO bloated. Tonight I have been feeling pressure like I have to toot (TMI SORRY) but no gas. Very full feeling down there. Backpain, headaches, and non AF cramps seem to come and go. Who wants to try to keep me sane during this TWW?

 

[MummyDonz]

Is it a good feeling to be moving in the right direction? I'm seeing specialist on Fri 16th Aug. I've had two periods since stopping BC 3rd Dec and now I'm on cd 61 and no sign of AF!! I'm quite sure I'm not ovulating as never got a temp rise and despite scan and blood tests being ok...still no ovulation or period.

Hoping to be given clomid to give my ovaries a boost into working. I've already got 3 children so warn expecting it to be quite so hard.

Well good for you. I think that's a good strategy. It does make you really nuts watching those temps after O.

Well ladies, my TWW is over. Got a BFN this morning at 12DPO. Given the results of my last doc appointment I'm not surprised, but I can't help it but be a little disappointed....I also got DH's SA results and most things were great, but there were a couple of "abnormalities" that make us candidates for an IUI.

Lots of to you all here and I hope to be back in this forum soon!

 

[zeropatience]

Well, after all that drama, guess my surprise when I saw this this morning!

AF is scheduled to come Sunday.Please, pray for me that this is a sticky one!

I'm glad to hear you had fun at the beach! Try to keep that positive vibe and take it easy with ttc, you will get your bfp. You have been pregnant before , you will get pregnant again Yeah here's not much going on since you left. When do you think you will ovulate?

For me, man this weak nausea hit me, now i get it everyday the second i open my eyes and i read that it will get worse before it gets better. I feel like i have a hangover with nausea and no energy. I hate this nausea it sucks so much. It feels like i will go to hug my toilet any minute ...but it does get better when the day goes on and i try to eat as often as possible. I want this nausea part to be over LOL!

 

[MummyDonz]

Congratulations zero patience.

I'm on cd63 no AF STILL! On the plus side...I have specialist appt tomo evening Im hoping for another scan and then hopefully clomid.

 

[missgenna]

Hey girls! I hope I can join?

I think my O was on CD18 or CD20 but my chart was all over the place. AND I've been getting +OPK's for a week. SO confused. Here is my chart - what do you all think?

My Ovulation Chart

 

[Tokyo_Duck]

MissGenna,
It seems we are in the same boat. I ovulated around CD 19, and while my chart has been fairly even, I am going through some crazy symptoms that I am not sure are related to pregnancy, or are psychosomatic due to wanting a baby so bad. I do not do OPKs, so I can't offer you any advice, but can commiserate with your anxiety.

DPO 6 I began having sharp stabbing/ pinching pains around the hip bone of my right side.
These pains flashed on and off all day and were accompanied by very light pink CM. This continued day 7 and 8.

DPO8 I had to run to the bathroom an unusual number of times, and towards the end of the day saw almost microscopic flecks of red in my CM.

Today (DPO 9) my BBT dropped way below the coverline, and am still getting the aching on my right side, along with a burning, AF-like cramping in the general area of my uterus. Even though I had a low BBT this morning, my body has been running an average temperature of a slightly high 37.3-5 degrees throughout each day pretty much since I ovulated. Today I also broke out into tears suddenly and without provocation while watching a scientific program.

This is my second month TTC, and if anyone has insight would be greatly appreciated.

I hate the TWW I think I might go crazy in the next seven days.
