Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[Lillyrose20wd]

Hey ladies!

Just waiting for AF to arrive. Im CD 23 12 dpo. My temp went to coverline this morning and I had cramps and a backache like she is on the way. Thinking the next day or so

I saw the dip, but thought implantation can be anywhere btw 6 - 12DPO? Ain't over yet til flies in!!!!

Seemed like you ov'd earlier this cycle -CD11, are you usually early ov'r? Just wondering bc I know some of the ladies here do some neat/natural stuff like cinnamon to extend the FP "if" that does become an issue? FX for you hun - I know its so frustrating...

My last 2 cycles I O'd on CD 11&12 and the cycle before that it was CD 17. Are there benefits to lengthening the time before your FP ? I'm 13 DPO today and I couldn't test even if I wanted to because my DH hid all my hpt from me However, my temp went up a smidge, not enough to convince me I'm pregnant though. Oh well.

How is everybody else this morning?

sarah - what happened to your pic? Hope you are doing well!

Picture's still there LilSluz! I'm doing well. Baby seems to be good in there, lol. They're definitely still making me sick, that's for sure.

How strange. I have google chrome now bc IE kept giving me errors & crashing (only on BNB site). So, now "all of a sudden" GC doesn't show your u/s pic, only a little error-bot thing, so just clicked on that & it took me to your home page & I saw you! But then I went to IE version & can see the u/s pic - darn technology sometimes OK, so "normal" non-technologically challenged people can see your pic, only I can't... (I'll have to run some updates or something - sorry, only me!)

At least I got to see what you look like now (you look so young in that pic!) Oh, hope goes away soon for you... doesn't it go away in 2nd tri?

Huh. I use Firefox, but my husband also has Chrome on the computer and I can see the ultrasound pic in it, so maybe you just need to update your version.

Haha. I am young. I'm 25. That picture is from my sister's wedding, which was about a year and a half ago.

Morning sickness is supposed to go away in the 2nd trimester, but mine only seems to have gotten worse. A lot of women start to feel better and have more energy around week 18, so I'm hoping that that is just around the corner.

How are you feeling?

Hey ladies

Hope everyone is doing well today. Good luck for everyone testing soon and those who are ovulating.....plenty of

13 dpo for me today. Had the worst night last night! Had really bad nausea before going to bed and then when i did get to bed i couldn't sleep because of heart-burn! When I eventually did sleep I kept waking with really bad cramps in my leg This continued throughout the night and when my alarm went this morning I wanted to cry with tiredness! My temp rose quite a bit this morning. DH is convinced i'm pregnant. Really really hope I am. I wouldn't care what I have to go through if I knew it was for our child. I would be happy to have this nausea and disturbed sleep!

Af is due on Thursday so if she doesn't come then I will be testing on Saturday!

Could anyone take a look at my chart and see what you think about the rise in temp this morning??

for everyone

Good luck babe XXX Sounds good, i 'feel' like i have been getting 'symptoms' today- bit of nausea and much tiredness - HOWEVER- i have tested and i am 13-15 dpo...so i think its all in my head.....If doesnt come by weekend ill again on sat~ if its stil bfn, ill put it out of my head and see if i can get some provera....

Thanks curley! Really hope ur symptoms are real and you just tested too early!! Sometimes when i get a BFN and see others who got a BFP it lifts my spirits. I get so happy for them and also makes me confident that it will happen for us who are still waiting

FX for us!!

You are totally fine on CD11 & 12, but if it gets any lower than CD11, then not enough time for egg to mature so some of the ladies like to try to lengthen their FP a little to ensure it doesn't come too early:

Day of ovulation

Ideally ovulation will occur days 11 or 12. Delayed ovulation -day 13 or later- is not a sign of egg quality concerns; in fact, it is more commonly a sign of an excess ovarian reserve, generally a good thing. But early ovulation -days 8,9, or 10 of the cycle- implies lower quality eggs.

Perhaps they can chime in as to how they feel/what they do, but you have abs nothing to worry about at this point (I just noticed it getting shorter & wasn't sure if there were charts before the last 3 mos that showed early ov). BUT, that said - your chart looks promising - FX!

(that's funny DH had to hide your stix! )

Yes, I will have to run some updates or something - thanks! So, only a little over a week until wk18, then - good! (going by so quickly!)

I am feeling good, thanks! better go get some work done, tho (blah) . Have a great one -

Hey y'all, just checking in. Hope you ladies are doing wonderfully. I keep reading this thread, I want to see BFP's ladies!
Afm, I see the RE on May 6th. Hubby repeats his SA on Monday, so we'll see if this one is as discouraging as the first... I'm not holding my breath, but you never know. Even though there's only about a 2% likelihood we can fall preggo naturally (if things are as 'bad' as they appear), we are still going to keep trying until we see the RE... I can't imagine giving up completely, I would feel dreadful about that. Anyways, thinking of you all. I will keep you posted.

 

[LilSluz]

Oh Posey - I'm so glad you posted!!! Thanks so much for updating us - you are right, don't ever give up, honey! I have read a few posts & online articles & I have seen so many people change the morphology through various supplements & etc. AND get a BFP!!!

Please keep us updated & let us know how Monday goes!

i do not know if this will help anyone or not but i thought i would post to give those hope that are in the tww limbo!

my husband and i have been ttc since early 2010. we have five kids but we have always wanted one more but thought we should wait after our daughter was born five years ago. I had the iud mirena put in in '07 and taken out in Jan '10. We have been trying very hard but stayed stressed all the time and we had a few false positives over the past two years and it was devasting when af came. I pratically gave up and my sweet dh was come on just relax and lets try again. If it happens great if not everything will be ok.

Well we tried one more time and the tww was horrible this time. LMC was on Feb 23 '12 and we bd all around my ovulation time. I had so many symptoms but I dismissed them because I wanted to be pregnant so bad i figured i was making it all up. Well it was time for af to come on and it was a no show. wanted to test but waited. drove me crazy!!!! Four more days passed and no af. so i finally tested and could not believe my eyes. the test was POSITIVE!!! so those of you who are trying to not give up hope. It will happen! expected due date is Nov. 29 which is my birthday but i just want the baby to be healthy!

to all of you who post on here, I want to say thank you because your post have been a great help to me and my waiting!

Thanks,
heather

It's got to be the most anxious two weeks of my life, after 6 months of ttc, I'm another week away from finding out. No symptoms at all yet and I am approx 7 dpo

POSEY!!! We missed you! Well, at least I know I did. It's so good to hear from you and to know you haven't given up. I hope everything goes well when you visit the RE. And I hope that his SA comes back a bit better this time. I'm really so glad to hear from you. Definitely brought a smile to my face today.

Thanks for the info LilSluz. I have only been using OPK and charting religiously for 3 months now and I like all the information that it provides me, but sometimes I wish I was a little more neive. I find myself obsessing over my chart and that in turn stresses me out. Its like a no win situation.

I will keep in my what you said about ovulating earlier than day 11. I went to my OB/GYN last week and she said to just keep trying and that we are young and healthy so we should be able to conceive in the next few months. I do have a pelvic & transvaginal ultrasound set up for tomorrow that she wanted to r/o cysts, but I might have to cancel it if AF shows up. No spotting so far which i generally start to do ~1-2 days before heavy flow.

I'm so happy to have you ladies!

AF due on Thursday. Really hope I don't have to see her for another 9 months though! I'm using every bit of will power I have not to test until Saturday. I know it's just 4 days but seems like 4 months.
DH and I have made a deal - he's off work this weekend so we will buy the test Friday and take it Saturday morning, hopefully we will be greeted by a

There has been 2 new bfp's posted today so hopefully it's the start of a chain and we will all be sharing pregnancy together

 

[DBZ34]

YAY! Congrats JOJO! H&H 9 months! I'm so very happy for you!


AFM: AF is due on the 2nd. I've had some interesting symptoms these past few days, but I'm trying to stay level headed. I don't want to get all worked up and overly excited, only to be disappointed when AF shows. The plan is to test on the 4th if no AF...I really hope this is it.
