Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[sarah_anne]

Beaut - FX that maybe there is something in there after all!

Sarah - I think it might be a good time to be "" at work. Hope you are feeling better today

Keri - Welcome back! Very strange indeed! Perhaps its time to too? Where are you in your cycle?

T2BC - Yeah, I was afraid that the CD11 ov was right on your chart. That's CRAZY why did it just switch so suddenly & so drastically?! Don't worry bc I would have missed it too - wouldn't even be peeing on stix at CD11 yet. So sorry you are ill. We don't get time off work here for Easter (lucky ducky) unless we take vac time. I have started coughing yest too!? Feel like lungs on fire but also have water in them if that makes any sense... Oh, honey, go do something really nice for yourself after that hell cycle

Ella - how are things going w/you? Anything new bleeding? Yeah, what you described is how my mc's went too - massive amts of blood loss. I hope that does not happen to you & that you just had a 2 day AF...

Wendy - Are you ok? I was checking up on you & I didn't see any temps the last 2 days of your chart?

Dashka - Hope you got another night of good in you!

AFM - feeling like fire & water in my lungs

Lots of to all you ladies!!!!

I went into work yesterday and today I only have a half day because I have my ultrasound this afternoon! Here's hoping that they'll tell us whether we're having a boy or a girl!

 

[LilSluz]

Wendy - Oooo, Clomid sounds promising - hope you catch that eggy!!!

Sarah - YAY, I hope they do too - let us know as soon as you find out! If you don't post today we'll know they didn't tell you yet, but hoping they do! GL!

Beaut - your ticker must have been of so I'm still keeping FX!!!

Dashka - can't wait til you

AFM - I'm out sick w/bronchitis today - I can't work anymore w/this. Gonna spend the rest of the day with Mr. Netflix & some herbal tea. Nauseous so can't eat. My chart is really funky, zigzaggy & everywhere right now so I don't even have a clue. I broke out w/little bumps all over my face & neck, too - 100's of them. I'm going to have to throw the "whatever" out there today...

I'll in later to check on y'all! &

 

[Beautifullei2]

I think it reset itself.. But sadly AF showed her ugly face this morning!! I hate that

 

[LilSluz]

I'm really sorry Beaut She's the !!!!

hey ladies, it is taking me some time to catch up but we finally have broadband in our house today! i had been catching snippets on the 3g on my phone which cost quids and kept timing out but my addiction was too strong. however i have caught up with you all! afm i am cd5 - witch came 10dpo no spotting just kicked in last saturday. i hadnt been thinking too much and even wasnt temping much. sat morning i did temp and thought i wonder. i then thought i would try to make to 14dpo to test but she just kicked in strangly quite heavy for cd1. done some odd temps but thinking of giving it a rest, not sure.

 

[sarah_anne]

No news on the sex of our baby! Technician said that he couldn't tell us even if he did know, but he seemed to be saying at the end that he wasn't able to tell as the baby kept their legs clenched together the entire time. I'm hoping that his report will say more or that my doctor will look at some pictures and be able to tell. If not, I really hope that they'll let us go back to see if they can tell then!

Hey ladies! I need to read through and catch up later tonight, but I thought I'd just drop in quickly with an update.

I'm on a short vacay with DH. I've been trying not to focus on TTC or possible pg, but I wish I knew what was going on. Still no more AF, just creamy CM and sometimes EWCM, along with some strong pokes and twinges. I told DH that I'm either ovulating or pg, and either way, I'm happy, since I thought DH was going to be gone for ov. Though my temps aren't really looking like ov temps and I'm still having all my TWW symptoms and it's CD9, so way early for ov. I'm planning on going to the GP to see if she'll schedule me a blood test when I get back home. This limbo is crazy....

I'm so gassy at the moment (so embarrassing ) and I'm bloated like crazy. Then there's the sore bbs that haven't gone away, though they're more painful than sore...not to the touch, they just hurt. The acid reflux/heartburn had gotten worse too and I have a backache like whoa. If I hadn't had that weird AF, I'd totally think pg. So I guess the only thing for it is to test again tomorrow and see the doc.

So that's my update.

And welcome back Keri!! I'm so glad to see you back here in the TWW!

OMG Ella, you have to be PG! When is the last time you tested? I really hope you get your blood test soon and it is a BFP!!! Have fun on your trip and enjoy time with your husband

That is just poopy Sarah! I really hope you find out soon, I am dying to know

 

[mommapowers]

Here I am again in the TWW - this time a newbie to the forum. I have been apart of IAP for two years now saw that this was a tight community!!!

4dpo ...

 

[wendyk1]

Welcome Momma
Hope this TWW brings you a BFP!!

 

[gemmy]

Hi everyone. So my cycle was just 24 days last month. ff says my LP was just 9 days I don't know what to make of that! And AF is still here on CD6. Usually cycle 28-32days, LP 12/13 days and usually AF spots but then kicks in lasting 4 days.

Good luck everyone. Oh and I haven't temped the last two mornings, I have come out of habit now.

 

[DBZ34]

Beautiful - Sorry to hear about AF, the cysts and taking a break from TTC. But maybe Lil is right and that's just what you need for a BFP. A break from the stress and expectations. Are you going to stick around here? I think you should...in case you need to update us with some good news.

Betty - Spotting a week before AF sounds like a great sign to me! I hope you get your BFP this month!!!

T2BC - I hope you're feeling better and that cough is going away. So sorry the got you early. She never comes when you want her to and she loves to show up unannounced. But short cycles mean more chances to get pg in a year....

Lil- I hope you're feeling better too. Whatever you were dealing with does not sound fun. I hope Netflix, tea and rest did the trick!

Gemmy- yay for broadband! Welcome back. Sorry AF came earlier than expected. She really is a Sounds like you had an odd cycle, I wouldn't worry about your LP unless this next cycle is short again..Though I'm hoping that it will be a nice long 9 months.

But for reference, B6 or B-complex vitamins are supposed to be good for lengthening the LP. I've heard quite a few ladies say it worked for them.


Sarah - Aww, that's too bad about baby keeping his/her legs shut. I hope they'll figure out a way to tell you the sex, either looking at pictures or sending you back for another scan... Keep us updated!!

Mommapowers - Welcome to the TWW! I hope this wait ends in a BFP for you! So...what's the IAP?


AFM- BFN on the test this morning, followed shortly after by a nice hot flash and nausea. I think I was overheated or something. Still no idea what's going on other than my body is playing tricks on me. Could be pg, could be about to ov...who knows. But DH and I have been making sure to BD, just in case. I'm sitting on the fence. Half the time, I'm convinced that this is all just wishful thinking and I should give it up. The other half, I feel hopeful that I could be pg. I just wish I knew a way to know for sure.

DH is getting antsy. I know he just wants to know too, but I don't know what to tell him. I haven't felt any AF-like cramps, but I'm still getting the pulling feeling at times and the strong pokes along with the many gas bubbles. The bubbles have a party in my belly every night. lol. I've never been so gassy...I've been googling like a fiend....But are these really symptoms or wishful thinking?

I called for a doctor's appointment and the receptionist was so condescending. Yes, I know if I want to confirm a pregnancy, I should take a hpt. Thanks. Too bad they don't work for me, even when I'm for sure pg. I mean, you can't have an mc without being pg, but you can be pg without a BFP, I've found. I didn't want to go into the whole thing with the receptionist, so I just said fine and scheduled an appointment for Monday anyway. Hopefully the doctor will be a bit more understanding. I just want something concrete. A yes or no answer. And then if it's a no, I want to know why my body is being so crazy.

 

[LilSluz]

Sarah - Oh Poo on them! Of all the things you still might not find out bc baby legs covering its little dingy? (or lack thereof!). I hope they can tell from that scan too, or else you'll have to go in again

Gemmy - glad you are finally getting moved in so its not being held over your head anymore! Wow, you & T2BC both usually have long cycles like mine & both of you during the same month had really short cycles??? Maybe stress brought on It can really mess things up sometimes! Take a break if you need to. We'll still be here (even if we don't have a reason to be! )

T2BC - how are you doing honey? I know you had that short cycle too

Wendy - Stalking the chart & looks like someone is about to ov! Catch that eggy! Fx &

Momma – Welcome! I also wondered what IAP was?

Ella – You poor thing. I peeked at your chart & it almost looks like you are about to Ov but…? Please let us know what Dr. says on Monday! Of course, you may not find out until Tues, but let us know if or if you get a +OPK! We’re all in suspense here! FX

Dashka – how are you darlin’? I hope you are felling better today – all around . Your ticker says day 27 of 27, did you or maybe going to again soon?

Laura - you still lurking Irish mama? How are you feeling? Have you gotten a scan yet? (can't remember how each of the countries deal w/scans as US is considered pretty early compared to some countries...?)

Keri - hope something comes soon so you can figure out where the heck you are in your cycle too!

Curley - you still here?

Lillyrose - how are you? What do latest tests show? Hope you are OK...

AFM, I’m 11DPO & maybe this weekend if I can’t hold out. Not sure yet. Still sick – called out today so I’m catching up on BNB then going to go say Hi to Netflix again & maybe have a short . Even if BFN, I am just happy bc I feel like I am getting closer to BFP. After GF juice & Mucinex gave me loads of EWCM (sorry TMI) & taking folate now for implantation (due to MTHFR), I think that maybe, perhaps, perchance…I am "getting closer" after 1yr & 4 mos TTC & 2 mc’s? We'll see...

TGIF! to all of those not in 2WW & to all who are or about to be!!!

Thank you ladies and GL to you all and Xing for all of you to get tis cycle!!! and IAP i i-am-pregnant.com I have been on that site for a long time but it has kinda slowed down it was really cool you could decorate your page and everything but then something happened and all the pages lost their stuff and most of the active members arent going to it as much.

 

[DBZ34]

Lil- I know! Today's temp went down, so I was thinking ov (so DH is on BD alert until he leaves)... but during the day, my temps are pretty high, compared to what they usually are before ov (I've kept a little chart)...add in these pesky symptoms that I shouldn't really have until after ov. So that's where the confusion comes in. There's something wacky going on with my hormones, I just don't know what.

I don't opk...so I'm just going to keep temping and BDing and see what happens. I don't know what Monday will bring, I just want some answers. I'm hoping that the doc can shed light on the short AF and the symptoms and why I've been feeling so weird. But I might just have to wait to see if ov happens or maybe even wait until the end of the month to see if AF happens...

 

[mommapowers]

DBZ - Good Luck!!

 

[dashka]

Ella - oh I'm so hoping that it's a good thing.... Fx for you!!!

Sarah - sorry to hear that you couldn't find out boy/girl yet.... rats!

Lils - so hoping you feel better soon.... xoxo Glad you are staying home to get well!

Beautiful - sorry AF arrived....

Hello to everyone I missed!!

AFM - CD 27 today and 14 DPO (possibly 13) - and no sign of AF yet... I tested this morning and BFN (used cheap blue-strip kind). I have never had a cycle longer than 24-26 days in the last few years (before that was always 28 days) Don't have any AF symptoms either - no sore bbs, no bloating, no back ache, nothing. I did cut back on the progesterone cream this month - and it's a different kind so maybe that was it... but you would think it would make AF come sooner then....And with all the coughing I've been doing - it would certainly bring it on early.... Anyway I'm not sure if I should change my 'ticker' below every day now or what... I think the meds/sickness really screwed up my body this month.... We'll see what happens..

Hello to all you wonderful ladies!
have a great weekend..
xoxo

 

[LilSluz]

Dashka I still have my FX for you!!!

And I'm so glad your cycles are longer - that's a great thing!!!!

 

[mommapowers]

dashka - GL!!!
