Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[mmcheek1]

Well right could be chemical or could be that you didn't ovulate then maybe later. Without an opk or temping its hard to day what exactly is going in so you are what about a week late?

 

[mmcheek1]

Anyone ever get period cramps on 7 dpo then feel like they have put an air pump in their abdominal area puffy and sort of sore? Please feedback

Hi ladies
We'll I'm on CD27 and 12dpo today. My average cycle is 28 days but my last 2 cycles were 26 and 30 days.
I had ov twinges from day before ov and till 3dpo. From 3-8dpo nothing and then the past 4 days I have a headache I just can't shift. Ive felt sick all morning past two days and at bedtime the two days before that! Has anyone had similar? Hope it's a good sign and not just a bug or something!! P.s still testing bfn Xx

 

[IceQueen86]

Yeah Ice, i'd wondered where you'd been lately! I can't believe you're already as far along as you are! Crazy! How have you been feeling and stuff and are you going to find out what you're having and when???

Well, not sure i told you or not but we had our first specialist appointment sept. 19 and they ordered DH and i blood work and it came back with an antibody problem with our bloods so they ordered me to take the blood thinner heparin (injectables). They said they are going to do a cocktail of meds until they get the right thing that will help us sustain a pregnancy. i'm excited, now i just have to get preggers again. i have a good feeling the next pregnancy will stick!

Yeah time flies. When i got my first US, doc said i was not so far along as my sticker here shows, but who knows it can change again when they give me an US again. If i go by what she thought then today i would be 16w 3d. Due date right now is 4th of April. So i guess i will find out my baby's sex in 4 weeks or so, if he/she isn't too shy From 8-12 weeks i had NO energy, i was nauseous everyday almost all day, there was like 3-4 days where i got really sick. Then most of these 4 weeks i couldn't eat much felt like after 2 bites i was so full and i just had this heavy and uncomfy feeling. Then on 13 weeks or so my nausea started to disappear and then 2 nights in a row i had the worst heartburn ever, i never knew that heartburn can be so painful LOL. But now i feel pretty ok and i already have a little bump too, can't wait for it to grow more so i can show off

Just saw your update, sorry about bfn Sucks that you in this situation but the good thing is that you are getting help to fix your problem How come you getting shots and pills and your DH don't have to take anything, if you both have antibodies?
After everything you have been through it's so nice to see you so positive Keep that positive vibe no matter what! I strongly believe that your turn will come very soon

Hi Ice!!! Woohoo, can't wait to find out your baby's sex. How awesome will that be? I'm glad to hear your nauseau went away but that stinks the heartburn kicked in. i've never had heartburn before but i heard it can be pretty bad during pregnancy. and you can't really take anything for it either, can you? I would HOPE you have a bump by now. Normally you can see a bump on people that are smaller to begin with. i want to see that bump! post a pic!

Well it's only me having to do stuff because it's my blood that's really the problem. and since i carry the baby in my body, i have to do the crap. oh well. it's fine. as long as we have success soon, i won't resent hubby. He, he...he's taking a vitamin so that's something i guess.

it helps me remain a tiny bit hopeful. was she on any meds that could have delayed her cycle? becuase that's what i'm thinking is my problem. i haven't started yet but i know she's coming. i'm cramping and my temp dropped today so i'm just waiting. i'm just hoping the progesterone won't delay her too long. i want to get started on the next cycle!

ICE! You need a preggo journal so we can stalk you properly.

And so you can post cute bump pictures!

Hi ladies
We'll I'm on CD27 and 12dpo today. My average cycle is 28 days but my last 2 cycles were 26 and 30 days.
I had ov twinges from day before ov and till 3dpo. From 3-8dpo nothing and then the past 4 days I have a headache I just can't shift. Ive felt sick all morning past two days and at bedtime the two days before that! Has anyone had similar? Hope it's a good sign and not just a bug or something!! P.s still testing bfn Xx

Good luck! I've had similar before (a couple of times), but no BFP. So here's hoping that you'll have the opposite luck and get your BFP soon!

Well right could be chemical or could be that you didn't ovulate then maybe later. Without an opk or temping its hard to day what exactly is going in so you are what about a week late?

I am currently 5 days late, 6 tomorrow. So confused, I think i will test on saturday and if its negative then ill start trying all over again.

Are you sure you're late? I saw you're using an ovulation tracker, but lots of things can change when you ovulate, so you might have ovulated earlier than you thought you had, which is why the bleeding seemed early. It's also possible you ovulated later than you thought.

You said you had that bleeding on the 14th (or somewhere around there)...It's possible that was just a wonky AF and you're on a new cycle now. I've had a couple of months where I barely bled, but my body acted like it was AF and started over with a new cycle (I temp, so I know what is going on).

I would test again and if it's a BFN, maybe start BDing again. I wouldn't want you to miss out on ov while you're waiting. If you're not temping or using opks, the best method is to BD every other day (after AF leaves) until at least a day after ovulation happens (you'll feel warmer to the touch, so you don't even have to temp, just feel your lower back or abdomen).

Like mmcheek said, without opks or temping, it's hard to know what's going on with you body. But 5 days does seem like a long delay...so maybe your BFP is waiting for you!

I hope this is it for you and when you test, you'll get two big beautiful lines. Good luck!!

Hi Ladies!

I am new to this forum and was looking to make friends along my TTC journey... I've been reading these threads for a while and decided to join!!

I am currently on CD37 with 2 BFNs and no AF... My cycle usually runs ~32 days. I have been having cramps for a week now...

Here's hoping for a BFP soon!

 

[Shelbs21]

I guess since i had that light bleeding, i honestly have no clue if I'm late or on a new cycle. My periods are super regular, I can literally plan my whole day around when Im going to start. Basing it off my last normal period in September, my period should have started on October 18th. That day all i had was brown spotting that ended the next day. According to that, I am 6 days late. BUT, if by some horribly confusing messed up chance that the very light bleeding I experienced 4 days before my supposed period was indeed my period, then I would be starting over and be on cycle day 10. I am having a really hard time believing that light bleeding was my period. My first day is always starts in the morning, like 4 am. Then its excruciating cramps (have to take a strong pain pill) all day with very heavy thick bleeding with lots of clots. Sorry for TMI!!

Whats even more confusing is now I have normal white discharge. I will be taking a test on Saturday, that would make me 9 days late. If its not +, then i will have to chalk it up to the weird bleeding being my period and start from scratch.

Hi wish_a_wish! Welcome to the TWW! I hope it ends in a BFP for you!

How do you track your cycles? Do you temp or use opks? Is it possible that you ovulated later than usual this cycle?

I hope those BFNs turn into BFPs soon!!

 

[Shelbs21]

Welcome Wish,

I would say that is promising. Are your cycles normally very regular? I would wait till the end of the week and test, sometimes the hormone is slow. Or like you will see on these threads, once you start trying the witch changes her whole MO.

Good Luck and Baby Dust to you!!
Keep us posted!! =)

 

[wish_a_wish]

Thank you ladies!

I have been ttc for ~4 months now, so I haven't been tracking regularly. I went to my doc yesterday and he drew blood. I just got a call that my blood PT was negative

It may be that AF is late as my body is just getting adjusted to these new stress levels

I think I will start using OPKs and start temping this month.. If only AF can read her ugly head and get done so I can actually start anew next cycle!

 

[wish_a_wish]

That is definitely possible! I noticed brownish CM around CD 22 this month.. I thought it could have been implantation bleeding, but in hindsight maybe it was just late ovulation? Although the only time i see brownish CM is a day before AF is supposed to start...
This is all so confusing!

Things do change when you start TTC. I think it's the stress we put our bodies through during it that makes our cycles change here and there.

I, too, am a heavy, clotty bleeder with terrible cramps....and AF usually is around for 6-7 days for me. I'm usually drugged up like crazy just to be able to function during AF (because work won't go away, even if I want it to). But like I said, I've had crazy cycles where I've barely bled for an AF (one really light day with barely anything, one day with slightly more blood, but still really light, and then just spotting brown for two days) and it's only because I temp that I knew what was going on at all.

And even then I was confused for a few days before I realized that my body was done with AF and had started the new cycle. I had hoped I was preggo, but no luck. Who knows what was going on with me then. My body gets wacky sometimes though.

I'm telling you, TTC can make you crazy if you let it. Try not to stress out too much. But, I do hope that you will get you BFP next time you test and that it was implantation and not a wonky AF. C'mon BFP!

 

[dovkav123]

wish a wish, You have a very long cycle. Maybe you O'ed later this month?
Spotting before AF could mean hormone imbalance. Maca powder can really help you with that!

I am 9 dpo. I had cramping yesterday and a very stressful day. I hope stress didn't cause it. My dh asked me if we can test, he is curious if I am preggo. I know some girls do get BFP on 9dpo. I don't have a test at home, so I am not doing it tonight.

ICE QUEEN thank you for your bump update! Your castor oil baby is growing big! PLease let us know about the gender.
