Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[dashka]

Sarah good luck at your scan tomorrow!!! Wow your plum is going to be a peach soon!??! Awesome

 

[wendyk1]

Oh Wendy sorry to hear she came and on your bday too!! Rats!!!
May i ask....What are you going to take that's soy? I studied nutrition and I know that it is controversial for hormones... Just want you to be careful.. Have you thought about seeing a Naturapathic Doctor... One that specializes in fertility and does acupuncture?

I really hope next month is the lucky one for all if us!

It is soy isoflavones....I am glad you said something. What have you heard??
I heard it is supposed to boost estrogen to help you ovulate. This is my 1st cycle off of Clomid and I didn't ovulate.... My doc gets back from maternity leave in April, so I was going to try the soy in the meantime.

I do get acupuncture, I go for a session every 1-2 weeks. I am going to tell her about not ovulating, see what she says. She is really awesome, and has given me some great whole food supplements to take. I will see what she says.

Hi Danswifey...welcome!!! We have been trying for 10 years.. Sorry it's been long for you too.... Hope it happens for you soon!

Hi dashka, thanks, I to am sorry that you have had to try for long also I know how hard it is ! I to hope it happens for you also.

 

[Beautifullei2]

HI lovely ladies!

Keri - sorry to hear AF arrived - but HOORAY!! for longer cycles....

Wendy - HAPPY B-DAY again!

Hello to Posey, Laura, Sarah, LilSluz, Gemmy, Ella and anyone else I missed (sorry!) xoxo

Heavenly - are you still out there?

AFM - AF is almost on it's way out.... On to the next cycle! I am determined to get my BFP by my b-day in May (40-yikes!)

Hi Maria! Glad to hear AF is on her way out! Definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you for a BFP by May!

Thank you

I usually mark it on the calender and my OBGYN said to start trying on day 10-20 to increase our chances. My cycle usually is only lasting 3 days if that. I spot the first day, cramp & sometimes heavy on the 2nd and by the 3rd its pretty much done.

I wish my periods were that short. Some women have all the luck. But I meant, how long do you usually have between periods? 28 days? Shorter? Longer?

But trying days 10-20 seems like you'll definitely will be covered.

Hi SarahA, Laura, DBZ & everyone else in the 2WW or just stalking it!

Hi Lil! How are things with you?

Sorry Im still new to all this and trying to understand the correct terminology : But to answer your question its usually a 28 day cycle.. My menstrual cycle is normal for the most part so my DH and I just need to time things right when we do the BD

 

[Posey]

Wendy, UGH I can't believe the had the nerve to show up on your birthday. Well, at least she can make her appearance and then be gone, and you can get back to trying! Best of luck this coming month xo

Gemmy, FX for you that you'll be back in the TWW next time I log in

LilSluz, you too! Hope everything is well

Sarah, ohhhhh a peach tomorrow! And yes, I think I would give your aunts, etc a quick call... you might regret it if you don't, and they find out through the grapevine?

Welcome DansWifey and Beautifullei, I hope you'll find yourselves right at home here

Hello Dashka, Keri, etc etc

Afm, yay, my ov. chart does show up on my sig Thanx Gemmy! 8dpo,

 

[LilSluz]

gl :0 how long have you been TTC?

 

[Beautifullei2]

moose 31- for about 2 years now. We recently found out this past summer that my DH had a LSP in which was only about 20million per ML but has surgery in oct to boost our chances. All things have been a go but it still hasnt happened.

 

[moose31]

me and DH are coming up on one year in april. GL to you
a bunch the ladies I work with are preggo Ive rubbing their bellies hoping fertility will rub off on me lol ( majority of co workers are young females so this is bound to happen

 

[Beautifullei2]

Thank you!! You too

 

[Posey]

Posey - your chart is looking REALLY good - FX!!!!

Thanks LilSluz, I think so too I'm happy to see my temp keep rising, but I'm afraid I'll jinx it haha. FX for all of us

Ps - Does anyone like the name Summer for a baby girl? I love it, DH doesn't mind, but my sister almost vomited haha. Look at me, naming my un-conceived children... sigh. It soothes me to talk about names though, even pre-emptively, I don't know why. Cohen is our fave for a boy right now. Weeeeeeee I hope our BFPs come soon, ladies!

Good luck Beautifullei, hopefully they can find your fix and you'll be preggo in no time. FX xo

[poppydaisy12]

im in the 2ww, had sex on 16th and 17th feb and last period was 2nd feb, usually have regular periods. boobs are getting veiny, had cramps for 5 days straight, kept thinking AF was on the way, tired, and feeling sicky, gagging at the toilet (sorry).
can someone help pleaseee

 

[DBZ34]

hey ladies....

Good luck on your 2ww Beautifullei2 - right here with you! And love to Laura and her bump!!! Good luck Keri, Ella and posey hope you are doing ok? Good luck everyone else in 2ww or waiting for it or anyone else i have missed.

afm - maybe I am ov today as my temp slightly lower than yesterday and it was yesterday I had +opk. This would be good news as we bd yesterday and will again tonight! I am not that hopeful though but feel there is a chance.

Hi Gemmy! I'm doing alright. I've been having cramps on and off for a couple of days now. I'd feel more hopeful if AF wasn't due in a couple of days (if I'm 10DPO like I think I am). And I'm still trying to get over this cold. Blargh.

How are you doing? Hooray for a positive opk and ov! Almost in the TWW!

Sorry Im still new to all this and trying to understand the correct terminology : But to answer your question its usually a 28 day cycle.. My menstrual cycle is normal for the most part so my DH and I just need to time things right when we do the BD

Oh no worries. It takes a while to get it all down.

It nice that your cycle is normal. I hope you get your timing down right and get the BFP.

I'm hoping that if AF (my period) shows her face, that my cycle will be about 28 days this month. I used to be at 26 days (ovulating on day 14), but my ovulation day has moved to be around day 16 (because I've been taking cinnamon for better cervical mucus/increased fertility), so my cycle is longer now...but only by two days, so that's not too bad.

Thanks Gemmy! I know! I can't believe I'm 13 weeks already! It went fast, but it also went slow. I want the baby to be here already, lol. Once we have the scan, we're sharing the pregnancy with EVERYONE. Here's a question for you ladies - I'm not close with my Dad's side of the family AT ALL. Do I give them a call before I post my scan picture on facebook? I typically only found out about any of my cousins' pregnancies from my Grandma, but I didn't want to tell anyone until we were 13 weeks. Now I'm bursting to tell the world. Maybe I should give my aunts that would even care a quick call?

Yay for the end of the first tri! On to the second!

I'm in a similar position. I'm not close with my dad's side of the family and I don't know how I would tell them outside of facebook, other than telling my dad and step-mom and letting them spread the info. But in your case, I would totally call the aunts that would care, especially if they don't have a facebook account, and then they can spread the good news.

Yay for the peach (tomorrow)!
