Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[Hoping924]

Hi everyone I'm new to he thread, I think I only did one post a week ago. Im wishing everyone success.

J Dennis we are in the same time table. Today is 5dpiui. I think you are a day ahead.

AfM -I'm 37 trying for my last child. We just used femara 5mg and a double iui. I'm now in the tww period ahhhhhhh. I'm trying to stay calm. I can't remember who said it but I think it's a good idea to have something to look forward to only if af comes. I think I'll tell my husband tonight to think of something to surprise me with just in case af comes. I'm pretty hopeful that this is our month. I think I'm calm but I'm not sure the way I've been following so many threads.

I've been stalking & praying for all of you for your BFP.

AFM: I'm 44 & have been TTC our 1st intentionally since 12/2011, prior to that we were

ntnp & had 2 unsuccessful pregnancies in 5/2010 (chemical) & 10/2010 (mmc @10wks, d&c done 12/3/2010. The most recent pregnancy was 11/2012 but ended as a chemical. I went to a fertility specialist in 1/2013 just for testing & diagnosis. We both passed with flying colors. Well this morning @15 dpo I decided to test & got my BFP, the lines came up before I could even put the test down. It was a FRER & not FMU. I confirmed it later today with a $$ store cheapie. Obviously I'm nervous as hell but I'm going to stay calm & relaxed this time around.

Please pray that this one is a sticky bean & I will continue to pray for you guys to get your BFP. Never give up!!!

CoNGRATS!!!! Have you tried progesterone once you become pregnant? ive head that can help.

Thank you so much. My progesterone levels were always good, most likely the mc's are due to the quality of my eggs but hopefully this egg is a good one.

Baby dust to you

keep me posted! i'm 7dpiui now... and dying to test... I bought the first response, for the 6 days sooner test results.. I expect it to be a BFN based off when I got pregnant with my daughter, and tested on day 14, I got a FAINT positive line. when I went in for my beta test the next day, it was only a 14!!! so, I will be poas for shits and giggles instead of actually expecting an accurate response... but on the plus side, my breasts do not hurt, which is typical for my AF... so whoo-hoo to that.

How is everyone feeling today?

How long is ur luteal phase? Mine is usually 17 days so it sucks having to wait so long to test. I have my Dr's appt set for March 10th, I'm praying the heartbeat is a strong one, the longest pregnancy I had was 10wks & the hb was only 86, 2 wks later no hb. If this one is strong I may feel a little better but really won't until the 1st trimester ends.

Wishing u luck when u test so keep me posted.

Hoping924. I am praying that this is a really sticky bean for you!! Congratulations on you BFP.

J Dennis. I'm trying to stay calm and stress free lol. Like that's really gonna happen I'm day 6 and I must say I want to test but I want it to be "the" one if it says yes. I couldn't believe when I saw your post that we have the same symptom for Aunt Flo. I thought I was the only one hoping that my breast don't get sore because that means Aunt Flo will be here in a week. With my other pregnancies I never got sore breast. My husband gave me some hope yesterday, he said he thinks I am because I have been very hormonal. We will see.

 

[j_dennis_84]

Hoping924- I have no idea how long anything is for me.. I just go by the OPK. and test 14 days later... the IUI was done on Cycle day 11, so I believe I am a 28 day cycler..

Hoping4Argyle- My AF symptoms are always sore boobs.. about 7 days before hand... I don't typically get cramps, if I do, its the day before AF. But when I got pregnant with my daughter, I had terrible cramps on day 14... so I poas so I wouldn't be upset to see AF... an it was positive. that day my boobs got really sore, and STAYED sore until I delivered!

Its just terrible that all AF symptoms are interchangeable with Pregnancy symptoms. I guess that seeing how I had some burning sensations, that maybe it worked... but I could also have been a fluke cramp? I am going to test ever other day starting tomorrow.. I think it will make it easier if I got a BFN.

I am not truly in a rush to become pregnant.. but we only have 2 vials of donor sperm left (after this one) to have a biological sibling for our daughter. the donor is now retired, and no more vials are available to purchase! So it HAS to work... we got pregnant with our daughter on our 3rd IUI... i'm just hoping to have the same luck this time around...

How is everyone doing this afternoon? anything new???

J-dennis,

Hi all!
I am new here! just joined today! So I have a calendar that predicts ovulation however idk how accurate it is. I had a period starting 12/19/13 (I stopped taking Ortho Evra at this time) it was a normal 5-6 day period. I had another on 1/17/14 which again was normal. I was due this month on the 15th but no AF as of yet. My boobs hurt but thats not uncommon for AF. I'm tired but I am also working towards graduating college in May. CM is thick but clear not milky. I did have a small amount of brown spotting on the day AF was due. I felt like it may still be too early to test but I just couldn't take the anxiety anymore and I got this faint line. The more I read up the more I find that CVS brands especially blue dyes are known for having strong EVAP lines... Is that what this is?? I am going to try again in the morning just curious what others think??

YAY!!!! Looks like a positive to me! Just to be sure, maybe buy a red dye test and try again tomorrow? I got a extremely faint line when I was pregnant with my daughter!

 

[Shanski]

Thanks ladies! It does look a little blue on one side but I tested again this morning (same test) and it was definitely BFN! Last nights test looks more positive than this mornings. So I will wait a few more days and try again!

Hi. I'm new to this board and actually new to TTC. I'm 40 and had a MC in January (at 5 weeks). That was my first pregnancy.

This is my first cycle since and I'm in my two week waiting window. My opk was positive on day 13 so I assume I have a 26 day cycle. I'm not really sure. Sorry if I'm not using all the right lingo, like I said I'm brand new to this and looking for similar situations and support.

I've taken a test every day this week but my "calendar" says I should wait until Monday the 24th. There is no way I can hold out that long. I have a stockpile of tests in my sock drawer and I just can't help myself. I heard you're most fertile after an MC so my fingers are crossed.

 

[Shanski]

Good luck! I hope you get a positive test soon!

Welcome to the thread. I haven't been here that long myself. I understand the agony of the wait time. I'm in the tww time. I am suppose to test next Wednesday. It's starting to wear on me. I wish I had a draw full of these because I would be a chain tester. So sorry about your MC I can empathize with that pain.

Today I had bloodwork to checks progesterone level. It was 6.36 and they like it around 10, so I have to pick up promethium pills that I have to insert twice a day. I was a little bummed but at least it shows I did ovulate. We will see.

Hey lovely ladies! Good to be back in here. Been stalking alll of you and will continue to do till you get your BFPs❤️�� Last month I had two weeks of mild cramping just before AF showed a week late and I set myself up for a huge disappointment. Now month #3 and just came off AF after an unusual 42 day cycle.
I'm usually dry for a few days post AF but right after AF I feel wet and see some stretchy cm almost clear. I'm normally dry as a bone following AF. This is quite unusual for me and I'm wondering why?? Could anyone please tell me?? Its way too early for me to ovulate or does it mean I'm ovulating earlier this month after a 42day cycle? I've read somewhere that it happens due to high estrogen levels?? Anyone???

Baby dust to all you lovely ladies in the TWW❤️��❤️

Hi there!! I'm impatient myself and have been testing last month since 5dpo. I'd suggest you wait at least until 8-10dpo, if possible until the day u miss AF. It hurts much to see the damned bfn. I've seen enough last month just to see AF show later than I thought. Hope youu get your bfp!! ❤️Baby dust❤️

 

[rapunzel87]

Agreed! Its so difficult to see that BFN everytime. And I drive myself crazy thinking about a possible pregnancy allll the time. The 2ww is too stressful! :S

And now I have bright red bleeding, being only 3 DPO. Frustratinggggggggggg

 

[burnsforbaby]

what the hell is up with my temps.... i still havent gotten a drop yet. im going to test today when i get home to see if i get anything yet.

Heyya! Now bleeding @3dpo sounds unusual. The earliest that implantation can happen is 5dpo as far as I know. Have you confirmed ovulation? What cd was it? 🎉Baby Dust🎉

 

[Phoenix82]

Bleeding can be caused by o, sometimes the egg burst out of the follicle.
Causing fresh blood within a day or 2 x
