Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[LilSluz]

SarahA - so glad you are past the 12-wk mark - yay!!!!

Wendy - Happy Birthday! I'm a yr older so I know - BDays suck even worse when TTC (39 on 1/29). Sounds like you are also a victim of the "crazy-ov-sick-cycle" month. FX for you...

Posey - got everything crossed for you darlin!

DBZ - FX, FX, FX!!!!

Laura - I agree w/your thinking: "Barfing = Preg = Good". Hope you are doing well!

I'm still waiting for ov... it'll come soon (I hope)...

Hello to anyone I missed out there in 2WW & WTO (waiting-to-ov) Land & FX for you lovely ladies!

 

[LilSluz]

Since I am still waiting to ov on CD16, I'm going to go try scaring-the-living-egg out of me w/Paranormal Activity 3. haha - maybe it'll work (come on eggy!)

Hello to anyone I missed out there in 2WW & WTO (waiting-to-ov) Land & FX for you lovely ladies!

Thanks honey! Yah my cycle is nuts-messed up, I don't know what's going on. Oh well. I would love to test on my birthday but that would only be CD 22, so I think too early. I don't even know when my period is due....when I was on Clomid, it was 27-28 days. Before Clomid, it was all over the place, 21, 23, 25, 24. So who knows?

I might just take a test for the heck of it, what a great birthday present a BFP would be.....sigh.

Hoping you ovulate soon!!!!

 

[gemmy]

hey ladies, thanks for your replies, i will write back properly later but got to get ready for work now, i guess that will keep my mind occupied. cd 16 - still no positive and temp 35.97 so real drop. just gonnA bd daily now and keep testing. lil and wendy we are sure in same boat! damn ov. love to everyone, have a great day x

 

[dashka]

Wendy hope you have a great bday on Monday!! Fx for you this month!!

 

[Posey]

Hi ladies,
How is everyone doing? Let's see some BFP's!!!!

Well, this is like the 1st cycle where I have no clue what is going on....I am on CD 19, no idea if I have even ovulated. My temps have been messed up b/c I was sick in the early part of my cycle, and I gave up on the OPK's. DH and I have been babydancing every few days, just in case. I guess I will tell if I am PG if AF doesn't show up.

I really have no idea and that is a weird feeling for me..... Oh well. We will see what happens.

GL Keri, and who else is in the TWW now? Gemmy? Posey??? GL my friends!!

Hi Wendy, how long are your cycles usually? Just shy of 30 days? Maybe this more laid back/ not really knowing approach will do it for you Have you found that it's less stressful? GL to you, gosh you deserve a BFP...

And yes, I'm in the tww, 5dpo today. Sitting, waiting, wishing... hehe

Honey, are you PG? Your signature says "Pregnant" What is going on????????

Oh dear me!!! I'm not PG lol, I must have done something... I will fix it.

 

[Posey]

Okay phew, there we go. That is sooo strange, I never changed that button, I just tried to add my fertility chart to my post. Weird. Oh well, I'm just 6dpo today, my 'sitting, waiting, wishing' comment before refers to waiting for a BFP. I'm sorry to confuse everyone!

Wendy and Gemmy, ugh, I had cycles where I didn't think I was ovulating, those were quite difficult for me. I'm thinking of you, it's so frustrating! I have heard that sometimes the LH surges cannot be detected by ov. tests, so don't lose all hope... your little eggies will drop when they're good and ready Wendy, happy early birthday!!!! YOu certainly deserve a BFP as a present

Laura, I have to remind myself that you're pregnant as well! Hvae you thought of any names?! I know it's early

to SarahAnne, Keri, LilSluz, Dashka, etc etc etc. Hope you ladies are all doing beautifully.

**Is anyone able to tell me how I add my ovulation chart to my 'signature' here? Thank you!!!

Hi posey....

ah sometimes these things are confusing!!

you can put i it in your signature by clicking on control panel, then edit signature (left column). Now open up FF on another page. Click on "share" under your chart. Now copy and paste the bb code onto your signature and that way it will always be there to stalk!


Thanks for the advice - yes maybe it didn't pick up the surge and I am ovulating today! All I can do is keep bding and test until i run out.

Good luck to you! Not too much longer to wait! xx

Hey Wendy, a big happy birthday to you! Yes that would be a great birthday present - GL hun x

 

[Babylovedream]

Confused me here!!! Ok so I was expecting AF yesterday (I have a 29days cycle) and she was a no show. Not even spotting. Same thing today, not even cramps. I had tested a BFN on Thursday and I felt so discouraged and down. Haven't tested since. The only thing unusual is the incessant gas and bloating. And fatigue and mild hotflashes every now and then! But breasts are not sore or sensitive so that is why am thinking that this can't be a BFP. Just don't want to be disappointed again! At this point I even wish AF would show so I could go on with my life!!!

 

[gemmy]

ah bless you laura - are you finding out this time (if they let you in ireland??) Has it sunk in you are pregnant yet because it hasnt for me - i see your user name and think "ah wow oh yes laura is pregnant" everytime!

your so sweet Gemmy, well i still cant believe it sometimes, The sickness reminds me whats happening inside tho it reminds of when i carried my boys, I'm having really strange dreams they are unreal! so vivid and scary, I've just started with a cough and cold aswell , i read that that is a really good sign as a mother immune system changes so her bodies first priority is to keep illness from the baby Im just so happy to be given another chance to have a little one i dont care how i feel as long as it makes it here safely,

We found out with our boys so will 100% find out with this little one, feels like such a long time away..we also had 4d scans with my little men i cant to do that all over again too,

My first appointment is at between weeks 8-10 so not long to go until that,I haven't booked anything in yet, i cant stand all the poking and prodding they do tho, im scared of needles, i refused blood samples with my second son, ( my mum is a nurse, she said its all really to tick boxes on their forms) they know my blood group, and all my other info from previous pregnancies on my record, only thing is iron levels so i wont panic about that, im cool with labour its just the needles im scared of..

how are things with u ? x

Ah wow very exciting! 4d scans look amazing too! Glad you are doing well and that you are enjoying even the less positive parts of your pregnancy

I'm ok thanks. Think I'm out this month because I have been stressed but that's ok. Maybe I'm ment to have a christmas baby afterall. And there is always a chance this month as long as we keep bding. Just waiting and seeing. You have been here right, and now look at you xx

 

[gemmy]

Congrats Mwd1985 on the wonderful news!!!! Wishing you the best for the next 9 months!

Hello lovely ladies. Hoping everyone else out there is a-okay.
Sarah, congrats on your plum!!!! Wow, a plum! That's crazy to think Little one is growing growing. I can't remember, are you going to find out the gender? Or be surprised?

Afm, FF confirmed ovulation so 3dpo now. And the waiting continues. I will be a busy bee with looking after my grandfather and finishing assignments that are due for my correspondance courses soon, so I will check in when I can. Thinking of you all

Here's my chart: I like looking at other people's, so it's only fair I post mine!
As you will see, we BD'ed more than we ever have during my fertile window this month... I wasn't sure when Ov. was coming so I didn't want to miss my peak day. In hindsight I wish I had waited a couple days in between for at least one of 'em, but ohhhhh well. We'll see if we got 'er! hehehe.

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/391ae1

We're definitely finding out! I will admit that we bought a little outfit for a boy while out shopping tonight! I'm completely convinced it's a boy and hubby would be SO happy if it is!

Awww, well mama's intuition may be right! When do you find out? Have you decided on names for a boy? Olivia/Olive for a girl, right?

We'll see. I'd love a girl or a boy, so it doesn't really matter to me at this point. So far, our favourite boy names are Peter and Henry. Favourite girl names are Olivia and Sophia.

I'm 12w2d, so I still have at least 6 weeks before we can find out the sex. Hoping that I can schedule my anatomy ultrasound for the first week in April so that we can tell everyone what we're having at Easter!

Can't wait until you find out Sarah! I do think girl but that's because whenever anyone says they are sick I think girl as I never had any sickness with my son and some of my friends who had girls or girls and boys always tended to suffer more with sickness with girls!! But then that isn't very reliable - did laura say she was sick with her boys? Good luck anyway and I like all your names x

Thanks Gemmy! I should probably clarify that I've been nauseous the entire time, but only actually thrown up 3 times. The nausea is starting to get a little bit better now though as I near the end of the first trimester.

My sister couldn't stop puking with my niece, so I'm thinking it may be a boy. But who knows! I've never been one who gets sick easily - I have a very strong stomach.

Ohh on that hand you could well be right thinking boy! With my son I certainly felt nauseous during the first trimester. I went off all milk products - even tea and chocolate. Just wanted dried crackers. But I never actually threw up. Glad your nausea is easing off now. Now get ready for heart burn and swollen ankles

 

[gemmy]

Hi ladies! Hmmmm I should be in the 2ww. Worried now I'm not ovulating as no positive yet and cm really dried up. I had ewcm on cd 13 and 14 but no smiley. I didn't test as early as cd 10 or 12 - maybe ff is right and I did o early. However temp is coming down now and I am only cd15, just impatient - maybe I will o tomorrow or Monday!

GL all x

Gemmy, I'm right there with you!!! EWCM CD13 & 14, now dried up & no +OPK yet on CD16. But, I didn't ov til CD18 last cycle - usually 5wk cycles. But temps are all over this cycle - ???? been a little sick. That seems to be a common "flavor of the month" I'm hearing so far?

Just wanted to drop in & tell you that we seem to have similar cycles & ov times AND symptoms, so someone is going thru it all with you!

I'll keep tabs on you so let me know if/when something happens & I will also post when something happens (or doesn't?) w/me... Keeping FX for us both!

Hi Lil

Wow we sure do seem to be similar! No change here - still no +opk, I shouldn't be so surprised but really expected it this weekend. My temps are getting lower and lower which is weird compared to last month. It almost looks like my period is coming on my chart. What about you?? Maybe you will ov on day18 again. You know I've been feeling a little sick. Maybe all this is delaying it for us.

Thanks, I will keep FX for us both too, keep updating!

Ahh hun we have all been there!! You have hope but you get dissapointed and feel down when you get those bfn. Hang in there, hope that you get confirmation one way or the other soon!
