Welcome to the 'Two Week Wait'

ohh I'm 5dpo as well bree and getting lots of creamy cm too. Not sure what it means. When do you intend to test?? i've been sitting on here obsessing over my chart, looking at pregnant charts, comparing....getting a bit too obsessed. I am glad to be working all day tomorrow and therefore not glued to bnb/ff!!

i will certainly check in in the morning though looking out for any news. So are you not testing tomorrow Jessica? You waiting until Monday? GL! Edge of seat!

hello again just wishing, great to see you back in the 2ww. Hope this is your month too! I have read something about the ov spotting too but not experienced it. I'm sure it's got to be a good sign so I would be confident if i were you. i keep hoping to wipe ib but it's not happened!! ff is confused by me too. have broken ch cd17 but pos opk cd14. I think it's somewhere inbetween myself.

GL to you too babn2, I hope this is it for you!!

welcome 24ttc1, hope you get your bfp!

:hi: to everyone else, GL and :dust: for those testing!


yes ma'am I'm testing Monday if AF doesn't show she's due Monday! My fingers are crossed I hope this is my bfp! If not we will keep trying!!!! :happydance:
 
Reading all these posts you guys seem like pro's. I am charting for the first time tis month, my 15 month TTC! I see a dip at 7DPO apparently this could be good. then I have another one this morning, what does it al mean? Could any one offer any interpretations?
 
Hi Ladies - I'm back! Thank you all for your kind words, for thinking about me & sending some love my way :hugs::hugs::hugs: I felt it & it helped LOTS! :friends: This thread is moving way too fast for me & too confusing so I'll just comment where/when I can. I'm still piecing together my brain from off the floor, here...

Ella - Yay that DH is "really" getting on board now! You are no way, shape or form "out" young lady! You are only 8DPO - may not have even implanted yet so you aren't going to get those symptoms (IF you get any - a lot of women DON'T!) until more near AF. You are STILL in & YES honey, its will happen for you when its all meant to be - I just know it!

Hi Lil! :hugs: for you! How are you feeling today?

Thanks for the vote of confidence. :) I can't help but feel out and I'm getting pretty a defeatist attitude. DH has been trying to encourage me, but there's this little voice in the back of my mind whispering that it won't happen. I hate this doubtful mind frame I'm in...I've been so cranky and hormonal lately. Poor DH. He got laughed with, yelled at and cried at within the space of 10-15 minutes. It's like super PMS at the moment. But I think all I need is a lie in to improve my mood. I've been so tired lately.

But you're right. I've still got a few days for eggy to implant. I guess we'll just have to see what happens. :)

Hi everyone! I'm new to the whole forum idea. My sister-in-law suggested I try this since I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post, so I apologize if I need to be in another forum. Please let me know. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 5 months. The first couple of months we just let nature do it's thing, but March and April I have been testing for ovulation. First in March I used regular ovulation sticks and it did not show ovulation (I still got my period and have NEVER missed or even been late) and then in April I started using the fertility monitor. It started to show high at about day 23 and stayed high. It never showed a peak. The week before my period was to start my nipples started to get SUPER sensitive...almost unbearble. I had to wear a bra to bed and even put bandaids on them (got a good laugh from my hubby...lol) It got really bad the day before my period was to start and then started easing off. Now they are sensitive, but nothing like they were. I stopped using the monitor the day before I was supposed to get my period and now my period is 5 days late. Like I said, I've never been late before, certainly not THIS late. I took a home pregnancy test on late day 2, negative. I called the doc and did a blood test on late day 3 and it came back 2.5 which they said was negative (they consider 0 - 5 as negative). Then yesterday the doc called and said that she wanted to retest next week when I see her for my pap that I had already had scheduled. This whole week I've been exhausted --- falling asleep earlier, harder to get up in the morning, and taking naps after work, I'm feeling bloated, and generally unwell. I've had some very slight spotting (mostly brownish) for two days and then today, nothing. I ended up throwing up while at work this morning, so I'm home now. What is going on? I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm super emotional and I'm hesitant to get my hopes up that I could be pregnant because all the tests say no. If I'm not pregnant...then what could it be? Any ideas or recommendations on what to do, would be very much appreciated. I'm worried I'm making too much out of this.

A little health background: I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2007 and had been on the birth control pill for 14 years until recently (yes, I know that was a long time...I'm definately regretting that) I have also been having abnormal paps and Moderate changes in my cervix (which my doc has been f/u on every 6 months for 3 years)

Hi Lishes! Welcome to the TWW! I hope you don't have to wait too long for answers. I know how frustrating not knowing can be. I hope the new blood test will shed some light on things. But feel free to vent here! We're here to listen to all the craziness that's going on in your head and give you support through the uncertainty.

Those symptoms sound so promising. Do you think you could have ovulated later than you thought? If you ov'd later, perhaps you're not as late as you thing and the bleeding could have been implantation bleeding. Just a theory.

TTC can have crazy effects on our bodies, especially when we start paying attention to things. I'm with Lil, temping can help you confirm ovulation and help you figure out when you should expect your period or if you should expect it at all.

I do hope this month is it for you, though, and you won't even have to worry about temping. Keep us updated!



1dpo and a lot more to go hopefully everyone gets :bfp: in next 2 weeks....been a long month as ive ovulated later this month...... gl everyone:flower:

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


Hey everyone :flower:

Hope everyone is well! Haven't posted much as I've been waiting to ov :coffee:

Just want to say welcome back to Lil!! Hope you're feeling better :hugs:

Congrats to everyone who got their BFP!! And good luck for everyone waiting to test!! (Jessika I defo think ur pg!!) :thumbup:

:hugs: to everyone else on the thread and welcome to all the new ladies! Hope this thread is filled with BFP's within the next week or so! :happydance:

AFM - FF said I possibly ov'd on CD18 but I got +opk on CD19. So I'm either 3 or 4 dpo and no symptoms whatsoever, but to be honest I'm glad as I read into them too much! lol
The strange thing is....on the day I got +opk I had some light brown, watery cm! This has never happened to me before at ov. I googled it and read that it is possible to have ov spotting and apparently it is a very good sign of fertility?? Anyone had this or heard of it before?? Would appreciate any thoughts :winkwink:


:hug:

Hi again just_wishing!

I've heard of ov-bleeding a lot around here on BnB. I've also heard that it can be a sign of good fertility. I hope you took advantage and got some good BD in. ;) I really do think it's a good sign and I hope this is your month!

So! I know I'm only five dpo and couldn't possibly have any symptoms and I really think we missed it this month last night I was super sick I had a slight fever and chills I felt like I was coming down with a cold! ): I hope not! Today I was fine then aroun 9:30 am I starte feeling sick at work I threw up and felt fine after words! I drank some orange juice and ate a piece of toast and boom! I'm a brand new person! (: haha trying not to symptom spot! Haha I have super lotiony cm this has never happened before after ov everything usually dries up so those are the two differences I've noticed! Anyways that's my random babble for the day! Jessika I'm so anxious for you! Haha can't wait until Monday!!! Fx (:

I noticed FF took away your crosshairs again! Are you just going to go by your opks? Are you still BDing just in case you haven't ov'd yet?

But those symptoms sound very encouraging...you've still got a while to go, so keep us updated and let us know how it goes! :)

yes ma'am I'm testing Monday if AF doesn't show she's due Monday! My fingers are crossed I hope this is my bfp! If not we will keep trying!!!! :happydance:

Can't wait to see what's going to happen on Monday, Jessika!



Wendy- How are you doing, my TWW buddy? I feel out, but I'm working on not actually being out. Going to pick up some pineapple tomorrow and have some more walnuts...though DH has been eating them all, so I might not actually have any for tomorrow, but that's the plan.

Oh gosh I know how you feel! I've been obsessed lately every night on here looking at everything! I think I set my test date for may 4th or 5th I haven't decided yet! Haha i am a pos addict but I'm going to try and wait until then to see what happens! (: I have been so tired so so tired and that's unusual I've been having bouts of nausea I just took a 4 hour nap and woke up with a temp of 99.0 I haven't been feeling great I hope I'm not getting sick! :/ anyways goodluck and keep me updated with your symptoms! I'm going to go stalk your chart! My chart is a mess and I get crosshairs then they get taken away then I get them and idk! Haha I got a super positive opk on the 23rd so we will see (:

Yes!!! They did AGAIN!! Hah I'm just going to go by my opk 23 or 24th ish is what I am thinking I ovulated I'm pretty sure because of all the ewcm and all the I pains I was getting! After the 24th morning the ewcm went away and hasn't been bak just a lot of white creamy cm we bd'ing the last time on the 25th hubby has been away working nights and I have been working a lot of days so we haven't had much time together! But I'm almost positive I ovulated already so fx. I think I'm getting sick my temp is all over the place and I feel yucky! Maybe I did ovulate on the 19th like we thought because I did have a positive opk then and my temp dipped down then shot back up and I did have all that ewcm so who knows where I'm at! Haha maybe I tried to ov again on the 23rd hehe I'm not going to look into it to much I'll just ride it out and see where I'm at when I'm expecting af (: haha
 
Reading all these posts you guys seem like pro's. I am charting for the first time tis month, my 15 month TTC! I see a dip at 7DPO apparently this could be good. then I have another one this morning, what does it al mean? Could any one offer any interpretations?

Hi! Yep, the dip at 7DPO could be good, because it could be an implantation dip, but it could also be something that your body does every month (like me!). But, since this is your first month charting, it's hard to tell. The dip at 10DPO is slightly less encouraging, because it could mean that AF is coming.

I noticed that the dot at 10DPO is open? Did you temp at a different time? Do you know how long your luteal phase usually is?

If your temps go back up in the morning and then stay up for the next few days, then maybe the 10DPO dip is an implantation dip. If they continue to decrease after tomorrow, then AF is most likely on her way.

It's hard to tell just yet, but I hope that your temps shoot up tomorrow and you get that BFP you've been waiting so long for! Good luck!!
 
I am on my first cycle of Femara and Ovidrel I just took the shot on 24th april.. just very anxious about the two week.. need some encouragement ladies... Cant wait for 8th..
 
Witch showed her face today.. Finally was able to get a doctors appointment on Wednesday. Hopefully we will find out what our next step will be. Dont have much time. Dh leaves in July for Afghanistan.

Awe I'm sorry honey! I hope it happens soon!! Gl
 
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. :dohh:

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!!! :happydance:

post pic please!!! sounds promising :)

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


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

Congrats!! That's a huge BFP!!! :happydance:
 
Hi ladies!
Wow haven't been on this thread much in the last few days....lots of new ladies - welcome! Sorry if I can't remember all the names!

Congrats to the BFPs!!!

Good luck Jessika... I think you are preggo girl...

Wendy - how are you feeling? Fx for you!

Sarah - so happy for you - have you bought a lot of pink stuff yet?

Laura - are you going to find out boy/girl?? Happy to hear from you...

Lils - Big hugs to you hun.... hope you're not working too hard xoxo:hugs::hugs:

Posey - so nice to hear from you! Glad the doctor gave you some hope! that is great... Baby dust to you xoxox:hugs:

Ella and Gemmy - hello and big hugs!:hugs:

and everyone I missed - hello!!:flower::winkwink:

AFM - I think I'm 3DPO today... FF shows I ovulated on Day 11... kind of early... but I had to 'adjust' 2 of my temps this week because temps taken at 2 and 3 am (AD not letting me sleep much)... I think it's pretty accurate though since my CM dried up a few days ago... We'll see what happens this month... but it's my first month using FF... haven't temped in 7-8 years! (except for 1 month last year).. If I get a BFP this cycle would be the best b-day present ever - my 40th b-day is May 12 and AF should arrive a few days before.

Have a great weekend ladies!:hugs:

We did our registry today! Lots of pink and purple! So excited for my shower at the end of June!
 
okay ladies...feeling a little down. tonight having AF like cramps...oh I hope she's not coming. :(
 
Awe! I hope not! Fx for you!!

thanks bree. its not quite as bad as AF cramps and now my lower back is hurting :'( its like a really crummy backache and that's the only thing that's keeping me from thinking its AF coming cause my back never hurts like this before AF. So I'm still in til the witch shows her ugly face just gotta have faith!

Gosh some of your charts are well simular to mine. That one a few months ago where all your temps were up looked very different I bet that was tough :wacko:

Thank you for taking a look at my charts. This morning didn't go too up or too down really....this is like some kind of torture!

How long do you have till you can test? I did one yesterday and it was a BFN. I am hoping if I implanted it was later and couldn't be picked up yet!
 
[/QUOTE]I noticed that the dot at 10DPO is open? Did you temp at a different time? Do you know how long your luteal phase usually is? [/QUOTE]

Erm, well what happened here was... I took my temp at 6am after going to bed a 1am, much later than usual. The temp was low, I didn't like it. I took it again at 9am when I woke up naturally and it was higher. I figured the higher temp was more accurate because I had slept for the usual 7-8 ours (and I liked the higher temp better). So I changed it.

Then later on I thought, 'that was daft, I can't change what my body is doing by changing the temp' and changed it back to the original lower temperature. Desperate measures for desperate times. I know I know. Stupid. :blush:
 
just been through the 2ww, tested a week early ..naughty of me i know ..and it was a BFN..then tested the following morning BFN.... took the test on the actal test date and my word it was a BFP!!! In shock as during the 2ww nearer to the last week i've had severe period pains, lower back pain, pain in legs... did another test few days after the BFP AND ITS STILL THE SAME!!
