Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[burnsforbaby]

well today my cervix was soft, high, open & cm was watery, VERY watery. hmm. took a opk but it was negative, but i figured it was since i got a positive a few days ago. :/ any ideas. we baby danced yesterday & plan on it today & tomorrow but this is going to be hard tho cause my hubby is going in the field for the next 7 days so im HOPING if i do ovulate (if i havent already) that it waits till hes back from the field! the army is screws us outta having kids.. i swear. :l

Ugh, you poor thing. You must have the patience of a saint looking at that very long chart. I would not be able to handle that. Ugh...hang in there. I hope you O soon!!!

thanks girl, i have some patience but its wearing short.. very short. i hope i do according to my chart i o'd last cycle on like cd53 so im hoping around there. if we dont get prego this cycle then im screwed for a year cause my husband is deploying in may instead of june.. and since i have SUPER long cycles i doubt he's be here when i o next cycle.

I ovulated on the 25th. My boyfriend and I had sex on the 22nd and 23rd. For the last week I have been burping non stop. I have also been constipated for about that long too. My breasts have been tender and almost had a rock like feeling on some days. My cervix has been high; sometimes so high I can hardly reach it, soft and closed tight. I have tired a little bit here and there. And very cranky for about the last week. For the last three days I have had bouts of nausea for about two hours at the same time of the day. But I gave also had cramps the last xcouple days, sometimes more intense the others. And the pain isn't in just one spot. I have never been pregnant before so I don't really know if this is normal pregnancy sy!proms or signs of AF coming?! Any advice or thoughts would behelpful...

Erika, sometimes AF symptoms mimic those of pregnancy symptoms. You won't know until you miss a period or test! If these symptoms are a little unusual for you before AF - then perhaps they are pregnancy symptoms! And I do hope they are

I am currently 14 dpo. Was supposed to get AF today. Didn't happen. I tested and got a BIG FAT NEGATIVE : ( I am sure I will be getting my period soon. At least I hope so, that way I can get started on my next cycle of ttc!

Hi everyone.. My husband and I have been TTC for 6 months. I was not ovulating on my own, so I was put on Clomid. I am currently taking 100mg and I have gotten AF on my own the past 2 months. Cycle length of 30 days. I am currently on CD 24, and I've been experiencing some things that I would like some feedback on.. Around 8-9dpo, I had the feeling of a UTI, lots of pressure in my belly and hurt a little when I peed, but no burning. Doctor sent me for urinalysis and it came back negative. I had spotting late evening on 11dpo and the morning of 12dpo. Very light, pinkish in color with a drop of of darker blood. No spotting since then. The dpo are approximate within a day or 2 (I've have confirmed ovulation via bloodwork, so I know I'm ovulating), but I do not use an OPK. I had mild cramping the day before and the day of the spotting. Other than that, I have no other symptoms besides feeling bloated. I took a FRER today, but it's only 1 1/2 days after the spotting, so I don't even think the test would be positive even if I were pregnant. Has anyone else had these symptoms of a UTI feeling and spotting and gone on to get a BFP? I could use some good stories

Yay for Clomid. My DH and i got pregnant our first cycle so best of luck to you! We lost that one but we still conceived so that was something. All of your signs and symptoms sound very promising! When are you testing?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! AF isn't due until Sunday (I have a 30 day cycle), so I am trying to hold off testing until at least Saturday! Not sure if I can hold off that long though!! I am around 15-16dpo today.. I still don't have any symptoms of AF coming. No sore bbs, and hardly any cramps. The UTI feelings are completely gone and I haven't spotted again since the 10-11dpo before. On 13-14dpo, I was slightly nauseous after I are dinner. The first night I just laid down and it eventually went away, but the second night, I threw up a little bit. And I got a sore throat yesterday... Not sure if that has anything to do with this or if I just got a cold! Lol..

Kels23, I'm in the same boat as you. 16/17 dpo. And no signs of Af. I spirited around the same time as you too. Be nauseous, got sick yesterday. Really runny nose on random occasions. So hope we get our bfp

 

[Kels23]

^smommy, good luck! Crossing my
Fingers for you! Hoping we both get our
BFP this time around!!! When are you testing?

 

[Smommy013]

Good luck to you as well. I tested as 12 dpo, bfn. But I haven't tested since.. So I bought a dollar store test, but I'm nervous to take it

 

[Kels23]

I tested at 12dpo too! Negative The way I see it, we aren't out until AF comes so take it.. You never know, you might get that BFP!! When is AF due for you?

Hello all. I am currently 6dpo. I am a charter and a OPK tester. My husband and I have been trying to conceive #2 for 6 months, with no luck. This month we were able to CD 15,17,& 19. I received a OPK on CD 18, but hubby had to work late so we couldn't BD that night. So I hope that doesn't hurt our chances. I am currently experiencing lots of creamy CM and aches in my lower back, but that's all so far.

It certainly will not hurt your chances. You covered your grounds girly. No worries, you wouldn't of ovulated till Cd 19 if your pos OPK was CD18 and you did BD on that day so GL to you!!!

Best of luck sweetie, you're just a couple days behind me!!!

 

[Smommy013]

My ad was due yesterday or the day before so Fertility Friend says. So I'm a bit late.

 

[DBZ34]

I think AF is coming soon, ladies. I've had some cramps this morning. I'm on progesterone, so it's holding it at bay at the moment, but I can tell, AF will be on her way soon.

As long as she comes after tomorrow, I'm in the clear for DH being home in time for my IUI. Just dropped off my prescription for my IUI meds! It's getting exciting now!! Here's hoping the next cycle will be the one we've been waiting for!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hello!

I am 40 years old and I have been TTC for two years starting Jan 2012.(one year naturally) and a little over a year with fertility drugs. I got married in June 2012 and while on my honeymoon my brother committed suicide. I started seeing a fertility specialist per my gyno recommendation in October 2013 for testing. I have unknown infertility. I have good eggs 13 to 18 per cycle. I respond great to the meds with no issues but just don't get pregnant. They first started to cough it up to stress so to speak but my body still responded medically to the treatment. I have had 4 IUI's with no success starting Jan. 2013. One was cancelled due to OHSS. Took several months off and did a final IUI September 2013 with no luck. I have spent countless hours on the internet reading and looking for answers. Therefore I thought I would share my store to help others.

We began the IVF process (not covered by insurance I might add) in December 2013. We have had a good cycle with exception of the flu and a horrible chest cold!!!!!!! taking follistim, menapur, ganerelix, ovadril, crinone, estrodril, a steroid after the egg retrieval and two rounds of z packs. One Jan 9th was my ovadril trigger shot and on Jan 11th,my egg retrieval that I had all 13 eggs removed. All were dividing by day 2 except one. So we were down to 12. They ALL fertilized 7 with icis and the rest the regular way. One January 16th (5 day transfer) three eggs were put back in. Two were the highest top quality 4AA and the next was almost right there. So now I wait.....................or do I. I couldn't take it another minute. So I read that the ovadril HCG is out of my system after 10 days?? so I too a test Jan 21st at night. Looked at it didn't see anything and threw it out like I am used to doing. Then I took another one the next morning. Looked at it for a minute or two (so I thought) figured once again I was getting my hopes up for nothing and wasting my time. about an hour later my husband comes looking for me asking me if I have something to tell him! I said did take two tests and they were negative. He said he had seen the box in the trash and looked in and the test had two lines. I ran up 4 floors faster than lightening!! He was right TWO LINES!!!! OMG. Then I dug for the one the night before....TWO LINES!!! My blood test is Saturday Jan 25th. For my sanity testing has taken so much pressure off. I played over the dreaded phone call I am not pregnant in my head many times. I have a glimmer of hope. I will keep you posted!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a story! Where to start...first of all I'm so so sorry to hear about your brother. How awful.
Also so sorry it's taken so long to get pregnant but this post makes me jump up and down towards the end where you get your BFP!!!
So what's the latest??? Is everything going ok? Are your HCG levels rising appropriately??? Best of luck sweetie and congrats!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Best of luck to you all who are on your TWW. I am as well. I have one more week. We had a miscarriage in July at 8 weeks. Kept trying Clomid with no luck, so this time we did Follistim with IUI. Fingers crossed.

I don't remember seeing a post with the verdict here??? Did it work??? Sorry to hear about your mc.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

So... after posting the above yesterday.. I just felt the need to test.
Used a Digi, and there it was, glaring at me...



I'm still in total shock.! I called my GP this morning as i was worried why it wasnt picked up on the ultrasound i had on friday and she said it would have been too early to see anything.

Because my last period was in Oct 2013 there's no way of knowing how far off I am so she has booked me in for a blood test on friday which i will get the results for on Monday. The digi said 1-2 weeks so I know I'm fairly early. I still cant get my head around this!!!

Sending lots of to all you lovely ladies and all the luck with TTC. xx

Wow...just SOOOOOOOOOO amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!! Love this!!!

 

[Smommy013]

Congrats!!!!!

Have him leave some sperm behind and have it stored or frozen or something and then when you need it, have them put it in you...
