HI TO ALL THE NEW GIRLS! I GOTTA CATCH UP IM A LITTLE BEHIND BUT WELCOME TO THE TWW! FX FOR EVERYONES BFP!

new symptoms/enhanced symptoms:: extra sleepy and hungry today even more than it has been. was changing and hubby said " honey look at your chest" so I look down and to my surprise some SERIOUS BLUE VEINS now I know why my chest was extra sensitive today...even when walking normal. temps still up 98.1!

I think maybe it will change it again when you have a few more temps. If you take out the pos opk, does that change anything? It does look like CD17 is ov day to me though...

thanks for looking - when I take out the pos opk I get red broken lines on CD17. I will leave it as it is and see what happens. Bit of a tummy ache tonight but feel a little constipated so that is probably it x

Hi all, been TTC for 15 months. I am 8dpo and really hoping this month is the one, I have made a few changes.

I have a short LP at 9 to 10 days, so I am trying B6 (150mg per day). I started this part way through last cycle, last month this lengthened my LP to 12 days. This month I ovulated a day earlier which is really unusual and I am waiting to see how long the LP will be. I feel bad, feeling bad when there are so many people who have been trying as long and longer. But it is starting to grate a bit now. I am alright when I have a bit of hope. But every month when AF arrives I can't help but feel disappointed!

 

[BabyHopeful2]

I am 8-9 dpo. I planned to test on Saturday when AF is due. But I just couldn't wait. Of course I was strong in the morning and am now a gluten for punishment. Not only did I test 2 days earlier than I planned, but I also tested in the evening.

Now here's the kicker, on my First Response hpt I got one strong pink line and one weak pink line. Could the weak one be a BFP with diluted hormone? Please reply!!!

I can't post pic b/c DH would be upset that I tested early. I don't want him to know yet.

DBZ34.. I have been to the doctors but we are military and it is very hard to get an appointment with the right doctors.. i have to call tomorrow to see if I can get a followup appointment... I did a lot of tests this month. day 3, 10 , and 21 blood work.. and a hsg.. clomid challenge test also. I have a normal 28 day cycle until i took the clomid.

Hi.
This is my very first 2ww.
Already have some symptoms. Most likely only 2DPO though.
Might be imagining things, might not.
Feel very queasy. Since 11pm yesterday (it´s 4:30am, so it´s been about 30 hours now). Only gets better when I drink a bit of Coca Cola...
More symptoms present, but I´m trying not to symptom spot, so as not to get too optimistic.

Way too early for symptoms at 2DPO, right?

I got this without DH seeing. It looked similar to this after 1-2 minutes.

im not sure everyone is different in my opinion i think that 2dpo might be ov pains. but you never know! it could be signs. i don't symptom spot much it makes me crazy! haha good luck hun! I'm only 2dpo atm as well and i have little twinges but they have been on and off since o and smells have been bothering me a bit more then usual and I'm exhausted. that was my first sign with last pregnancy was i was sooo tired if i shut my eyes at work on break i would fall asleep! haha spotting came a bit later then the smells another thing that tipped me off was my fingernails were stronger and grew a lot faster i always use to have acrylics so my nails were so weak but they were much stronger and grew fast. hah just a few things to look for that tipped me off. but we have all been there with the symptoms! [= fx for you i really hope this is your month!

 

[DBZ34]

Thank you DBZ34...any words right now are helpful, especially since this is my first 2WW...i'm learning as i go through this. how do you know how long your luteal phase is? my periods are very irregular. but for a year i tracked them before we started IUI and they were 30 to 31 days long.

So your luteal phase starts the day after you ovulate and ends the day before you get your period (red blood period = CD1). So you would have to know around when you ovulated to calculate your LP. Do you know around when you ovulate? Do you get ov-pains or anything that clue you in?

How soon can I test??? Had the insemmination the 24th in the morning.

I would say wait until the 4th or 5th of May to test, when you're about 10 or 11DPO. You're only 3 DPO at the moment. The earliest I've heard of a BFP is 8-9DPO, but it's not super common, so if you do test early, don't be discouraged by a BFN. Plus, eggs can implant anywhere from 6-12 DPO...so testing early might show a BFN, but you could have a late implanter and you don't want to miss it.

The longer you wait (even though it's so hard) the better because it gives the HCG more time to build up and saves you from seeing BFNs. But keep us updated! Good luck!

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

Oh, don't feel bad. TTC really does wear on you and it's so hard not to feel disappointed every month when AF arrives. Especially if you're like most of us who think it's going to happen pretty much right away and when it doesn't, it just adds to the frustration. But I hope this month will be different for you! Adding B6 to lengthen the LP is good too, gives that bean more time to implant. Sending BFP thoughts your way!

Good Luck!

Sorry your test was a BFN. Praying for your BFP. Maybe wait until AF is due before testing again? That should give it lots of time...

You're chart is still looking really good, especially if your temps stay up like that. But we won't really be able to tell anything until closer to the end of your cycle, I suppose. Keeping my fingers crossed!

DBZ34.. I have been to the doctors but we are military and it is very hard to get an appointment with the right doctors.. i have to call tomorrow to see if I can get a followup appointment... I did a lot of tests this month. day 3, 10 , and 21 blood work.. and a hsg.. clomid challenge test also. I have a normal 28 day cycle until i took the clomid.

Ahh, well it's good that they are looking into things for you this month! I hope all those tests will lead to your BFP soon! I'm sorry if you already said it, but when are you planning on testing?

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

Yep. At 2DPO, your eggy is still in your tubes. So you could have caught it, but now the important part is implantation, which usually causes the symptoms you're looking for and doesn't happen until 6-12DPO. I would say, try not to symptom spot just now. You've still got some time to relax before the TWW gets more....exciting.

Good luck!

BabyHopeful!!! THAT'S A BFP!!! You are Pregnant!! The fainter line is your test line and a line like that is DARK for a FRER at 9DPO. I hope you showed DH that test, girlie!!

Congrats!! Happy and Healthy 9 months!!

 

[gemmy]

Congrats baby hopeful. that is a brilliant result. it makes me wanna run out and buy a test early for a few days time! Where you confident before you took it? Any early symptoms ?

My temp still up at 36.45 but not massively . scared to to get hopes up. constantly staring at my chart, over lapping my chart. at the mo its not that different to the last few months but slightly lower temp after ov and then up high. Hmm getting impatient though, depending on if temps stay up maybe i will Test around Thursday next week, then wait until the weekend when af is likely. need to get busy!

Good luck everyone. when are you testing again Jessica ??

I'm trying to hold out til at least Sunday, that'll be the day before my expected period...if I absolutely can I would ideally like to wait till Monday but that's hard knowing I have 2 more FRERs!!! Lol! I hope we both get our BFPs!! All I know is my boobs hurt soooooo bad they are firmer too tonight but yeah can't even touch them OWWWW and now my whole body is like a furnace hot to the touch! Craved tomato soup and grilled cheese tonight too at 2am lol!
I WANT MY BFP! I KNOW I GOT A LITTLE BEAN IN THERE!
