Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[LovingMyGirls]

I am SOO happy (I think atleast) lol I got a temp dip this am (CD14) and having O cramps and now just got a +OPK!! This means my cycle would FINALLY be regulated after 7 months! Plus I would be 10DPO on xmas morn so I could test before new years!! please pray for me. Im getting a lot of Bding in that's for sure!!! My CM is not EW is Watery but hey ill take it! if my temp is up next 3 days I will be THRILLED!! My cervix is high but not as high as normally on O (cause I can still touch it) But even if I O within 4 days its still REGULATED. I am so sick of having 50 day cycles. Last month was 34 days so its getting better each month! And the unknown for these last 7 months has been driving me literally BONKERS! I would like to be certain When im about to O. not have to wait till after to confirm!!

here is a update on my chart. dashed crosshairs or not im saying i o'd on cd48 or around it. both pictures are of my chart today ones just more zoomed in. today i feel nausea, tired & beyond hungry. and im still having very sensitive boobs. testing on the 23rd just incase i need to go get my hubby a last mintue present. lol.

That's great at least you O'd! and I see you BDed 3-4 days before O. What a great day that would be to get a BFP that close to xmas!! GL your signs look good too

yeah we were trying to bd every 2-3 days just to be safe but around o week his schedule was messed up. i hope so! if my o date is correct i should be starting tomorrow or by friday. so im hoping i can talk hubby into getting me a frer when he goes to walmart.. i know i shouldn't do blue dye ones but it popped up a faint positive along with a dollar store one. my stomach has icky today like i feel hungry but when i make something it just makes me wanna puke, im tired, boobs still hurt & i can smell everything it's so gross. and im only wanting sugary/salty stuff. like cookies chips potatoes.. i see you od today or yesterday!!!!! congrats & congrats on the regular cycle!!!!! i wish mine would go back..

Still no AF for me since 18th October.. this is so frustrating. I just want my cycle to start so I can start trying again.
So I called my GP to find out if my referral has been made and I was told he's on holiday!!! HOLIDAY???? HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO HOLIDAY!!! and my referral wont be made until he's back. and then there's the whole waiting for an appointment then more tests bla bla bla... Oh i feel so rubbish guys!

my last af was Oct 17! lol. what holiday there's not another holiday for another 2 weeks & thanksgiving is far from over, wtf?! sorry your going though this! :/

Still no af for me... how about you?

nope im still af free!!!! ;D your cd61 too, right?

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Please help me in this TTW torture!!!!!

I am 3 days away from AF, got BFN today

Was really hopeful this month because I had implantation bleeding for the first time ever and I have been having funny twitches, throbs and mild cramps. Never felt these before but then got so disappointed when I did a test and nothing

So disappointing!

WElcome to the club, sorry sweetie. It's tough! Hang in there.

Okay... so ladies if you would all be so kind as to tell me all your "slang" or word abbreviations you are all using I would be ever so great full. Trying to read posts (currently in the two week wait forum) but getting stuck on abbreviated words. Haha, sorry to sound like a dumb a** xxx

 

[ttcbabyisom]

am a TOTAL mess today and tonight. Had a fight with DH on way in talking about baby stuff again and next steps and he is just not totally on board with IUI yet. He wants to give it one more month or even more of what we've already been doing and i get that and I know we have to check out the finances, etc. I'm just super stressed since January everything starts back over and we'll be paying out the arse for my meds and ultrasound and stuff. Ugh. i'm so nervous for another negative tomorrow morning. This journey really sucks sometimes.

dang girl! :/ i hope he gets on board with what YOU want to do since your the one carrying the baby! our guys need to realize we are more emotional drained on this whole process way more then they are.. sounds bad but it's the truth! the sooner they realize this the better. :/

I'm sorry your feeling like that ttcbaby. I dont think our men know exactly how stressfull this is for us or even how much it means to us. my oh has a very laid back attitude towards this whole process which really makes me mad! Did you test today? xxx

 

[zebadi]

I really hope he will get on board or would be even better if you could get your bfp before all that

Ladies,

So I'm losing my mind here. Stuck in a snowstorm and no ability to get out to buy a test, so I just used two OPKs, and both came back +. I am 15DPO (or 13DPO, according to FF -- but pretty sure it is wrong). Either way...

Does anybody have any experience with using OPKs as HPTs?? I might be stuck for the next two days and my curiosity is killing me!!!

I have heard reviews from both sides. Saying that's how they got the BFP and also that they are a load of crap. Are you certain when you did O???

Turns out the OPKs were right! They showed positive on Sunday, then I got a real BFP with a test on Monday, and confirmed by my RE with a beta yesterday!!!

She said that OPKs are actually less sensitive than HPTs, meaning they usually take longer to show, but I had enough hormones flowing on Sunday to trigger the response. Apparently there is overlap in the DNA threads, so OPK also doubles as an HPT. The reverse isn't true, though.

Anyway, so, so, pumped and hoping this sends positive vibes everyone else's way for a Merry Christmas and a Happy BFP!! The support on this board is so, so great.
