FINGERS CROSSED FOR YOU BREE! HOW MANY DPO ARE YOU NOW??

 

[DBZ34]

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..

Hi mylilone! Welcome to the TWW!!

The two week wait can drag, but when you hit the end of it, I hope you get to see that BFP you've been waiting for! And feel free to drop in whenever you need some encouragement. The ladies here are great!

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.

So sorry that AF showed up...
I hope the doctor gives you good info and comes up with a good plan! Keeping my fingers crossed that you get your BFP before your DH ships off.

okay ladies...feeling a little down. tonight having AF like cramps...oh I hope she's not coming.

I hope not too! I hope that's just your bean getting snuggled in... keeping my fingers crossed for you!

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!!

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

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!

It's true! It's so hard to tell what's going on that when your chart doesn't look like you think it should and the temps are up, it's hard not to get hopeful. My Nov 30th cycle ended in a mc and I was on some progesterone meds in Jan that have been messing up my temps. I think they're finally regulating though.

Your temp went up a bit, but nothing really telling. I suppose it's more wait and see what happens. Love this part of the TWW...

I'm not going to test until the 3rd of May. I had been thinking to test early this month, but I'm not convinced that I have a reason to. My LP is usually only 12 days, so if I make it past the 2nd without AF, then maybe I'm in with a chance. If not, well, I saved myself some money. But with the way my stomach has been feeling today, I think I'm out. AF feels like she's right around the corner at the minute. Only time will tell...

thank you darling! i feel better today! not having any cramps so far so maybe just maybe that was it! i tell you what tho my lower back has never hurt like this before AF infact my back has never hurt before or after AF! AF is suppose to be due tomorrow and the cramps last night werent as bad as AF cramps usually are, the ones last night were just very noticeable i would say but now they are gone! YAY!

 

[annbolina]

Thank you JessicaKnupp!

I too am feeling the heavy feeling in the belly that suggests Af is on her way. So frustrating.

My LP is now up to 12 days same as yours ( I am on day 11 today), after taking B6 since last month to lengthen my Luteal phase (it was 9-10 days before).

So you are going to wait until the 3rd of May? Tomorrow is my day LP12, I was thinking of testing tomorrow morning...

 

[mylilone]

Thank you so much!!! I am waiting for the BFP will keep posted what happens... what about you?

Good luck with your TWW. I am rooting for you!

 

[trying2becalm]

BFP! I over think everything, but this test couldn't be over analyzed.

My symptoms have been very subtle. Until yesterday I kept writing them off. I'm tired, since I'm always tired. My boobs are sore, but they have been getting sore since I stopped taking BC. I had the vivid dream last night only. The cramping has also been very subtle - just here and there sometimes. The only really notable thing has been the tight abdomen. It is a small version of the tightness I feel after ab workouts the next day.

Yipee!!! Congratulations!!

Hi Ladies - I'm back! Thank you all for your kind words, for thinking about me & sending some love my way I felt it & it helped LOTS! 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...

Dashka - yay for crosshairs! I just saw them so very glad you got them! I didn't think FF would have liked that one temp that dipped down (bc wasn't sustained), but it probably took the time taken into consideratin (its so smart!) GL & FX FOR BABY DASHKA BEFORE 40th!!!!!

Gemmy - You asked about yoru chart & I see its still dotted today. If I had to "guess" I would have guessed CD17, but...??? FX & GL honey!

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!

Laura - honey! Yes, when are we going to know baby's sex?

T2BC - I know you ov'd CD20 & are worried about it, but please don't be - BD'ing on CD19 is perfect! And I am glad you are getting back to sailing again. I know, we tend to put off our lives & stop doing everything we've ever loved "just in case" & then after so many months/years, not only do we not have our baby yet, but we've just lost ourselves & everything we ever loved in the process. Its too muckin fuch sometimes! Get back to being you & it will happen!

Thanks Lils -glad you are feeling more like your old self and that our messages helped - are your wise words are of course very true! x

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)

Welcome Lishes!! You have come to the right place - we have all felt like you have described and we look after each other through it. Stay with us and you will be sharing good news with us soon I am sure!

Ohhh can't wait for some more test results!

Well i was happy this morning my temp has gone up again to 36.46. But when i entered that it moved to dotted lines cd17 so today would be 5dpo and not 8dpo. also those lines are still broken even when i put back the eggwhite on those two days i was confused about. oh well. not as confident now fir some reason i am picturing the worst. Just a week i guess.

Good luck everyone x

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. [/QUOTE]

I find it all confusing too - but - what ever the chart says our bodies don't pay any attention, only us! If you are going to catch that eggy then you will.

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!!

I

Woo Hoo!! Congrats!!

So DH & I have had a great weekend doing some sailing lessons. Took my mind off everything - which was good.
I am 3DPO today (feels great to say that - to actually know where I am in my cycle for once!!) - so I just need to get on with my life and if the witch stays away I will be testing weekend after next!
Good luck to everyone - lots of us in the TWW right now - hopefully we can all keep the run on BFPs going!

[DBZ34]

Jessika- I'm glad you're feeling better! Your symptoms still sound so promising. Especially the veiny bbs and the backache. I truly do hope this is it for you! Looking forward to hearing how that test goes!

annbolina- That's great that the B6 is working. I'd totally test in the morning if I were you. Hopefully that FMU will show you a BFP!

mylilone- You're welcome! Can't wait to hear how it all goes.

t2bc- Good luck this wait! I hope it goes quickly for you!

gemmy- Back in the TWW! I can't wait to hear how it goes. I'm hoping so hard you get your BFP this month!


As for me....I had some AF type cramps earlier today along with my funky stomach. Not reading much into them because I've been fooled before. I think it's probably just a sign that AF is right around the corner. After last cycle's uncertainty, I'm ignoring all symptoms...and you know, without the symptom spotting, I've been feeling more relaxed about the end of my TWW. Fully expecting AF on Wednesday, but I'll be happy if she doesn't show. I suppose we'll just have to see what happens...
