Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

[lilen]

Im new to the site too! I am 4-5 dpo and this is month 6 of ttc #3! Feeling very tired this afternoon and trying not to be a stick-crazy this month!

Hi, I'm new to the site and don't know all the abbreviations, but we're on month 7 ttc, I'm now 2dpo and really hate this time because I feel so helpless. I lack ewcm so we've been trying tricks to make my body more "sperm friendly", this month I took mucinex, B6 and we used conception+. We'll see how it goes...

Hi CDReed! Welcome to the TWW! I hope it ends in a BFP for you!

I know the feeling. I've heard some good things about conception + and mucinex. I'm a cinnamon person myself. But I hope that they did the job this month. The TWW is always rough, but hopeful it will fly by with the help of the lovely ladies on the TWW forum.

Good luck!

DBZ34 i think this will take you to my chart

For some reason the link took me to my chart. I looked at it and thought "Hey, her chart looks a lot like mine...." lol. I think the thing to do is to go to sharing at the top of the page when you're looking at your chart. Then click set up. Then copy the link under Your Charting Home Page... That should let us see your chart. And you can put it in your BnB signature if you want.

Welcome to the TWW, lilen! I hope your wait ends in a BFP! Trying not to be stick crazy is hard when you're TTC. Good luck with that! Keep us updated!

So how are you ladies feeling in the tww?? im dying to know since we are all pretty close in days together!!!

ALSO funny thing but a great thing...I was saying my prayers last night before bed and thanking God for everything I had and I begged Him that if I was pregnant like I believed I was that He would give me a sign, anything, and that I would know that sign when I got it. Welllll.....I said Amen and as soon as I did I got pulsating like cramps in my lower right pelvic side and it lasted only a minute or two! I was in AWE!! I just know that was my sign! And now today I slept in with vivid dreams of being pregnant while doing different things (multiple dreams) And Im really achy in my lower abdomen area. Temps are still up...not as high as my spike but up. So maybe this is it girls! I feel really good about this one!

Oh Ella, sounds like you're having it rough.
I know of many many months I had too many symptoms to remember but to be honest I was secretly hoping they were pg symptoms, only to be disappointed by AF coming or a BFN.
But I do remember clearly the one month that I wasn't thinking about anything to do with conceiving and then I realised AF was 10 days late! I took hpt and got BFP! It wasn't until I saw this that I remembered I had spotting 2 weeks before and assumed it was AF coming early, but it stopped later that day. Then I remembered having severe heartburn and constipation that week
I had been having pg symptoms for almost 2 weeks and didn't even consider them! (Completely different story now though lol) Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in m/c at 9wks. But I find myself comparing any feelings I have to those I had when I was pg. Stupid thing to do as it's caused both myself and DH many months of heartache.
I'm hoping and praying for the day when I see your post to say you got your BFP. We all deserve it. It's our natural right to experience being a mother and hold our child in our arms. It will happen for us all one day and at least we have our DH/OH and each other on BnB for support along the way.

Hi just_wishing! I'm sorry for your loss.

Yeah..it's way too early for pg symptoms. I think my hormones are just crazy at the moment. I don't know how things are going to pan out the rest of the month..though, fewer symptoms today. So that's good.

But you're right. The less I think about it, the better it'll be. I tried comparing symptoms, but since a lot of them are the same ones I have every month, it's probably another way to make myself crazy.

And I can't wait to see your BFP! You're right we deserve it, we'll just have to wait for it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for soon...very soon...

Ok so im new to all this, i dont know why i even suspect pregnancy as im not even TTC. My cycle started on the 1st April. Im assuming my ovulation was between 13-15th, im saying that as i got left ovulation pain on 13th with EWCM, but i also got the pain on the right on the 15th with the same cm. Confusing i know! So i guess this will put me at approx 7-9DPO. AF is due 29th April.

For the last 5 days ive been mildy cramping, mostly on the left but sometimes radiating to the centre, could be gas?
Ive been super hungry and moody . I had a vivid dream a few nights ago about a positive test result. My cervix is also high and soft, can barely find it but i know that isnt a definite indicator. Im probably just reading too much into them

Hi! Welcome to the TWW, rachy!! I hope this wait ends well for you!

Symptoms of your period and pregnancy can be the same, so it's hard to tell. But they do sound promising. Keep us updated!

My Ovulation Chart

lets see if this works

Works this time!

Looking at your chart, it looks like you ovulated on CD19. There's a temp shift and the temps are higher than they were before. Is that the second EWCM patch? I think if you put in today's temp and it's still high, there's a good chance FF will give you crosshairs and confirm ovulation.

OOOOhhh i know what sarahs baby is im teasing you all i cant say tho cos its her news to tell well done baby xxxxxx

I wanna know!! The suspense was killing me before.....but now I know other people know....

So how are you ladies feeling in the tww?? im dying to know since we are all pretty close in days together!!!

I'm sitting pretty at 4DPO. Some of my symptoms are dying down, despite my temp being up, which is nice. Sensitivity to smell isn't one of my favorites and I was really tired of being bloated (It had been 3 weeks straight of super bloat). I'll take my week without bloat and enjoy it...because I know it'll be back soon enough.

It sounds like God might have answered your prayers. I hope that in a few days you'll be reporting back a BFP. Definitely keep us updated! Sounds like these last few days of your TWW are going to be exciting!

Oh wow! I have had bad sensitivity to smell so much it made me sick! Hehe! Wow you were bloated that much?? Thank goodness I havent had any bloating so far but ya know if I get this bfp I will definitely have some then! Enjoy no real symptoms! Us women go through a lot for a great thing in the end!

I think I'm going to test on Thursday! I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time! I'm just going to keep praying and keep having faith! Now I gotta go eat and pee! Seems like thats all I have done the last couple days! Lol! Ill keep ya updated if anymore symptoms pop up or gets more apparent!

Hi ladies - gotta run but just wanted to say hello to everyone....

Good luck to everyone....
Hey Sarah - when are you gonna share with us the news????

[bree801]

My temp today is back down 96.9 my temps have been all over the place :/ I only ha the ewcm once yesterday when I wiped and that was the only time yesterday just once not all day or anything. It's been a little creamy sometimes not all the time other then that I'm just really moist down there which is unusual. I have the same little very lower left abdomen pokes its not uncomfortable I can't describe what it feels like its like little stretches/poke like pains down there! It doesn't hurt it's just weird feeling! Ha I don't know what to think! I guess I can just wait for af and if she doesn't come take that as a good sign!!

 

[bree801]

My thermometer told me low batt after I temped so I didn't trust the reading so I re temped and it's at 97.6

[gemmy]

I don't know when I will get my cross hairs, my temp this morning was slightly lower than yesterday so now I'm thinking it will say I ovulated today rather than yesterday but I won't know for another couple of days plus i got my smiley face on friday - today is monday!

all I know is I need to get through the rest of the week, all weekend, all next week and then finally it will be the weekend when I will probably get yet another period and then I will have to start my 7th month of trying Where has the last 6 months gone anyway suppose I'm on a downer - sorry girls. just a baby boom around me and I can tell people are starting to suspect I am pregnant but hiding it - but I'm not. it's like they are waiting for me to announce.

Good luck everyone, sorry for the moan, I should just go to bed!

 

[MrsHopeful]

Awww, Gemmy, since I started TTC in July, 7 people have gotten pregnant, I feel like the only female my age who isn't pregnant, it does get me down at times-big hugs!!
My BBT thermometer arrived today and I've signed up to fertility friend. I am excited to start charting. Also, I'm not sure of I have been ovulating so hopefully now I will find out for sure.
Good luck ladies!

Thanks Mrs Hopeful, it's great to know I'm not alone. We just gotta keep at it but some people get there so easily makes you feel a little inadequate. I don't know anyone in real life that has tried longer than a month or two (well if they do they don't tell me)

Yeah to thermometer and ff. I started in January and I love charting. I was afraid of it at first thinking it was complicated but wouldn't be without it now espcially around ov time. Do you opk as well? I like to do both to see if they correspond to each other.

Good luck to you

 

[bree801]

Awe! Don't be down! This is my first month actually charting and temping and on fertibella I had one mc around this time last year! Me and the hubby haven't been trying just having fun but every single one of our friends either are pregnant or just had their babies so we talked about it and we started trying! I'm not sure what crosshairs means with ff ha I'm new to all this charting stuff! But goodluck to everyone and lots of baby dust! My temp chart has been up and down its crazy! :/ but yay for all the tww buddies and trying to conceive buddies! Everyone here has been super helpful!!

 

[JessikaKnupp]

Omg! Temp up more today!

98.3

Lately its been around 97.8-97.9! I read this is a good sign for 9dpo! Omg! Its soooo hard not to test right now!
