Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[ttcbabyisom]

well...i think i'm waiting til sunday to test because i have really fun plans saturday that i don't want to be ruined...that's the plan. we'll see...
but got this strange message on FF today...never seen it before. I know what it could mean...and it gives me hope...BUT in my head i'm out so we shall see...

 

[ttcbabyisom]

GL ladies!! I wouldn't worry to much about symptoms. Our heads make us believe half of them anyways!! haha LOL But I agree with zebadi The month you least expect a BFP is when you see one staring at you. Our heads play tricks on us. Cramping Could be good sign for sure!!! Long as you Bded on the fertile days theres always a great chance!!!!!! When are you ladies testing???? I know a lot/most of ladies notices bbs sore or nipples few days before af is to arrive. Seems after my year of research that seems to be the #1 sign but its af symptom too so ya never no. No wonder we all go little KHU KHU!!




About me im cd19 My temps are so whacky due to my MC last month. I thought for sure I was going to ovulate few days ago as OPKS say I will but I know my body enough to know I didn't. SO its a bummer! im in the waiting game still Bding a lot just so we wont miss the day. some peoples cycles get all whacked out after MC but since I had a natural miscarriage I was very hopeful they would go back on track but looks like that's not the case. :-/ Im still being anxious and excited that im be in the 2ww in no time!!!

due in five days for me. I have had a very bad morning and think I am out. Cramping too bad. Blah. What a shitty morning!!! Gassy, cramping so bad, but these cramps are no joke they feel like the bubble guts times a million. Tossed and turned all night felt like a flu was coming on last night my temp was 99.0 and this am its 98.4

Hope you feel better!!!! Do you always get cramps this much before af is due?? One temp dip may actually be good thing . Several dips in a row is when it's not as promising. I never heard of temping at night. I think mornings at same time before you even move much is the only accurate temp. Gassy is a good sign.

Thank you No never get cramps like this or regular ones at this time. I had to run to bathroom twice with these gut wrenching pains. They subsided after you know lol I am 9dpo and perios is due in 4 days now. Ahh oh and I never temp only did last night and this morning but wasn't right as I woke up. Hmmm

What date are you testing??? Loose stools is a good sign for sure . Anything that's not normal for you. That's why it's so hard to pinpoint 2ww symptoms. My bbs are always sore after O and before af and that seems to be most common sign for preggo women. So I'm like darnit Normally the vomiting and stuff is 6 weeks or later.

Come on Loving, it's time for you to O!!!

My ticker Is actually off I may change that . I totally just jinxed it by posting here haha af arrived a half hour later

I'm sorry sweetie.

Shew, this 2ww is driving me nuts! I don't have many symptoms to go by, not like the previous months of TTC. One thing I picked up in some of the post is that some of the ladies experience CM, I only had this she I ovulated, and not since then?? Is this a bad thing? Also do you think I can test at 10 DPO, or do you think I should wait until 14DPO? I don't wanna get a BFN and get despondent by testing to early?

Thinking of you all going while through this crazy 2ww, and wish you BFP soon x x x

Best of luck to you girl!!!

the 2ww is the worst! I over-analyze EVERYTHING during it.

There have been plenty of ladies get their bfp's at 10 dpo or even earlier but it's usually best to wait until 13 or 14 so you don't stress yourself out. Good luck! The last several months of our journey, i've been waiting until 14 dpo and using one test and that's it. Seeing negatives after negatives stress me out too bad so i just don't do it anymore.

Just wanna join you ladies..... im at 8dpo CD20 today and yesterday evening i had a stain which i think might be implantation. Today nothing but my EWCM is thick and stretchy. I hope its a good sign.

A little background, im ttc#1 and this is our 6th cycle but this time we used digital opk, 2nd month of saliva scope, fertilaid men and women, fertileCM, ovaboost, count boost and motility boost. My ferning this month was so visible unlike our first month using it. However, ferning returned 4days after my full ferning.

CD 8 - BD at night
CD 9 - BD at night
CD 10 - NO BD. evening got ferning.
CD 11 - morning smiley face showed up on opk, ferning again which looks like a coconut leaves since they are long. not sure if its because of the medicines im taking. BD at night. EWCM, headache
CD 12 - O day (maybe) cant confirm since i dont chart yet, EWCM, FULL FERNING
CD 13 - BD at dawn approx 36 hours from positive opk
CD 14-15 - transitional. Cramps on right, milky white Cm
CD 16-18 - partial ferning, this is different from my last cycle hope its a good sign. No cramps, ewcm returned, BD cd17
CD 19 7dpo - brown stain on undies at night just once. Milky white CM, feeling sick, no cramps
CD 20 8dpo today - woke up with mild headache, and cramps on right, tons of EWCM returned.

Usually im dry or only have milky white CM but not this much. And i dont spot a week before af is due. Usually its a day or two before af starts.

everyone

Anything out of the ordinary is a good thing!!!!! Sounds like you could possibly see a bfp in few days!! happydance: are your cycles pretty regular?? Only thing I'm making sure if that you did indeed ovulate. I'm not familiar with ferning or what it is. Do you temp?

Yea what is ferning?

ferning is when you use your saliva & a special scope to detect ovulation. you can get a ferning scope at Walmart it looks like a lipstick tube.

good luck with the ferning thing, it didn't work for me

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Hey ladies. Any chance that I am having a temp dip and spike due to implantation?

yes mine did the same thing i tested two days later and got a positive.. this might be it for you, finally. or it might read it as ovulation since it hasnt logged any positive opks or ovulation yet.

You're past the 9 week mark Burns, WOO HOO!!!!!

i know thank god but im still not in the complete safe zone yet. im so paranoid that baby will stop breathing but i think its just cause this is my very first pregnancy. lolol.

yes, very normal to be paranoid right now. i'm continuing my prayers for you! Your bean is strong!

well...i think i'm waiting til sunday to test because i have really fun plans saturday that i don't want to be ruined...that's the plan. we'll see...
but got this strange message on FF today...never seen it before. I know what it could mean...and it gives me hope...BUT in my head i'm out so we shall see...

Ummm....That give me hope for you too!! Your chart could be going triphasic!! That's AWESOME! I hope it means what we want it to mean!!

Not all women get CM after ovulation and the consistency of it is different as well. I wouldn't worry about not having it. I think after a couple of weeks of pregnancy, you'd start having some ewcm because your body is building a mucus plug...but CM before that doesn't seem to be a consistent indicator.

And as for testing...if you wanted to test now you could, but there's a chance you would get a BFN, even if you were preg. If you don't want to chance it, I'd wait until 14DPO.

Good luck though! I hope you get your BFP!

Thank you for your advice!

Come on Loving, it's time for you to O!!!

Your telling me girl! im soo sick of waiting! Bding is more like a chore now then enjoyment which I was so proud of us for actually doing it to make love not just to baby make! haha im sure you no what I mean!! I am surprised my cycle is messed up from the M/C. Im bummed theres nothing I can do besides wait it out. Dr said could take 6 weeks. I would be super bummed I drank wine last night so wondering if that's why my temp was little bit higher.. ahh this waititng to O is almost as worse as 2ww! ALMOST

I think 12dpo is perfect day to test. And I agree with Ella. Its not good nor bad to not have CM. Some women have increased when preggo (such as myself) and some women are dry till weeks after there BFP. SO testing is only sure way to know your answer! GL!!!!

 

[mdscpa]

Anyone tested already??? 11dpo CD23 for me, CM turned from EWCM to milky white the past 2 days. Last night have a very bad backache and woke up feeling sick maybe because im sleepless the pass two days. Still ferning on my scope never stopped post O. Af due in 3 days and im not yet having full (.)(.)s nor bloated which i usually have a week before af. Planning to test pass CD28 since that was my longest for the last 4 cycles (28/21/27/21).

Thanks for your advice! I still dont have many symptoms to go by, so I'm just gonna wait to test to see if this is my lucky cycle!

 

[DBZ34]

I think I'm out, ladies. No real symptoms, but I've been ill with a few different stomach issues, so I can't tell what's what anyway. My temps are in the toilet though and have been ever since I started taking some new meds. So, they aren't reliable and I have no idea what's going on. I think I'm going to stop the progest tonight though and see what happens.

But really, I'm not convinced this is our month, so I'm just focusing on the future. I'm thinking of going no progesterone next cycle and see what happens. If it shifts my cycle enough, I might be able to get in for an IUI in May. If not, we'll be on for the first week in June and hopefully an anniversary BFP.

 

[Hoping924]

All good things must come to an end. I found out last Wed on my 11 week u/s that there is no longer a heartbeat, my symptoms were starting to go away around week 9 but my temp remained elevated & no cramping or bleeding so I didn't think much of it, I had an u/s at 6 wks 5days & everything was great. Yet at my 11 wk u/s I was told the baby died around 7 wks & yet no bleeding or cramping for weeks, the bleeding & cramping started later on after my 11wk u/s. I'm beyond devestated. This is my 4 & final loss, being 44 I can no longer go through this anymore.

I will continue to stalk & pray that you all get ur BFP & sticky bean.

 

[sunshine85]

12dpo and two tests say bfn.... So not sure if out or not. Period due in two days and cramping and gassy...not our month i dont think ugh
