Who else is in the TWW?

[Liztastic]

While I do pop over and check out the TWW forum, I can never seem to find any of you ladies over there. Plus I just like it over here

So who else is in their TWW and how many days post O are you?

 

[JustFluffy]

Hey there! I am 9DPO today, will test Monday, but maybe Tuesday... Or maybe Wednesday LOL. I hate testing and getting BFN more than I hate the wait... Not really any unusual symptoms for me yet, just some light cramping for the past few days, but I had that last cycle too, oh, and sensitive nips, but also had that last cycle...

 

[Liztastic]

Now I can stalk you to keep my mind of symptom spotting myself, lol. Fx'ed for you!! And I totally know what you mean about hating the BFN's more then the wait itself. If I can encourage you to wait until Wednesday I will

 

[brightlywound]

Meeee. I'm 3DPO today!

 

[Liztastic]

Yea!! I'm 2DPO

 

[Lisarina]

Hi girls!!! I'm 2dpo today... will probably test at 9 dpo...I love finding girls who are testing at the same time as me. This is only my 2nd month ttc but I hated all those BFNs last month I feel like this is our lucky month though. I am charting my temp and used the OPKs so I knew exactly when I was ovulating. We had sex the morning before I ovulated and the morning that I ovulated so I'm hopeful since our timing was good! Good luck girls- looking forward to this countdown with all of you

Thanks!!! I am thinking of testing Monday at 12DPO, My DH thinks I will test Tuesday or Wednesday and I want to surprise him when I get a BFP... OR I can just test Tuesday and tell him I didn't! IDK... It really depends on my mood Monday morning I think. I get so nervous wen I am about to POAS before AF is due that I usually just avoid it no matter what I said I would do previously HAHA. When is your AF due?

 

[Stake]

I am NOT in the TWW, but just wanted to pop in and wish lots of baby dust to you ladies this time around!!!

 

[brightlywound]

Awh, thanks Stake!

I'm glad there are a few of us close in DPO! Now I can be crazy & symptom spot with you guys rather than drive my husband absolutely crazy with all my obsessing.

I just ordered a whole bunch of internet cheapie hpt's, so I'm gonna be upfront & accept the fact that I'm a POAS addict & I'll probably start testing around 7 or 8DPO.. LOL. (if my luteal phase lasts that long this time. Fingers crossed!)

I hope this month is it for at least some of us! I have a feeling I'm out already. But we'll see!

 

[Liztastic]

Thank you Stake!! I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this cycle yet. I know the Mirena messed with my hormones quite a bit - as I had hair loss, nausea, interrupted sleep patterns, sever depression and hot flashes among other things. But I'm going to be hopeful

 

[Lisarina]

haha Brightly- I will probably start testing 8 dpo. too(although I keep telling myself to wait till 9)..I bought the internet cheapies too...50 of them!!! I'm glad I have you guys to talk to because I'm probably driving my husband and sister crazy...they saying I'm obsessing...and I definitely am!

how can you say that you think you are out already?? you are only 3 dpo! still have a good shot!!

 

[Stake]

yeah thats what happened to me when i came off of adderall. there aren't even any studies linked to adderall and fertility but my cycles went crazy when i came off it and my hair thinned out a lot. these past 2 cycles were my first ones being 28 days so hopefully im back on track now. maybe your body will work itself back to normal!

Mine is due the 4th of Sept, last month I had a 28 day cycle, but I usually have a 30 day cycle - so I'm expecting it the 4th at the latest. When I test I'm going to set out a urine sample and hand my fiance the pregnancy test and wait patiently while he does the testing - thought it would be fun for him and a way for him feel more involved in the TTC process.

 

[brightlywound]

Liz, you too!? I was just rambling about Mirena in another thread! Were you in that discussion at all? That thing seriously messed up my whole body!

 

[brightlywound]

Well, last cycle, I started AF on 6DPO, so my luteal phase was on 6 days long. I have been taking b6 to try & lengthen it this cycle, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up! But we'll see! I've got my FX.

 

[Liztastic]

I think I posted early on in the thread but haven't checked back on it. Grrr, my fiance is the one that put two and two together at first and told me it was my b/c making me crazy. I didn't think of it at first because it was my 2nd Mirena and my first didn't give me any problems. Just though I had a thyroid problem and was just generally grumpy and depressed. I'm still loosing hair - not nearly as sever but my mood is 100% better - I don't feel like killing myself anymore - and it was that bad some days. I honestly don't think they've done enough research on the mirena, if you read up on it - they (the makers) aren't sure exactly why it's effective, could be a couple reasons - that alone is scary. They should know EXACTLY why it's effective before prescribing it as birth control to women.

 

[brightlywound]

I lost hair, also. It would fall out in chunks/handfuls. I gained about 30lbs. I developed ridiculous cystic acne. I fell into an extremely deep depression. I was constantly angry & unhappy. I *hated* my husband & I didn even want to be around my kids. I started getting almost fibromyalgia symptoms. My joints & muscles were in excruciating pain. Sometimes, when I got up in the morning, I wouldn't be able to walk because it hurt so bad. I got migraines all the time. I didn't have a period at all while I had it in. I really felt like I was losing my mind & losing my grip on reality. It got so scary. After I had it removed, it all stopped. Well, or so I thought. I still have issues with my joints & muscles, but its not AS bad. I haven't been able to lose even a pound of the weight I gained no matter how hard I try. I have every symptom associated with hypothyroidism now, so I'm being tested for that next month. My cycles have become super long & sometimes anovulatory or my luteal phases are only 5-6 days long. Before Mirena, I never had any of these problems. & I *know* it was the cause. I wish I would have researched it more before just shrugging & agreeing to get it. I'm paying for it now.*

That's what I posted in the other thread about it. I can't believe how much its messed up my life.

 

[JustFluffy]

brightlywound, I am keeping my FX'd for a longer LP for you!!!

Liz, I am feeling a lot of the same things, not after coming off of Minera though. My sleep is SO interrupted and all over the place and I have hot flashes due to the Clomid... The whole sleep thing can seriously effect your whole life! I feel like I am running on empty all day! That's cute how you are doing the pg test!

This is off their official website - I'll post it over on the other thread to for reference :

How does Mirena work to prevent pregnancy?

Mirena releases small amounts of the hormone levonorgestrel directly into your uterus. There is no single explanation for how Mirena works. Mirena may:

Thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering your uterus
Inhibit sperm from reaching or fertilizing your egg
Make the lining of your uterus thin
Mirena may stop the release of your egg from your ovary, but this is not the way it works in most cases. Most likely the above actions work together to prevent pregnancy. Like other forms of birth control, Mirena is not 100% effective.

 

[brightlywound]

I'm pretty sure it like, dumped friggin' 5yrs worth of that hormone into my uterus at once. I seriously regret getting it so much.
