Just curious to see how many of us are in our 2WW? If you are-- talk about it here!
I am at 11DPO, and will be testing probably this Saturday. My period is due Sunday, but I'm getting a little anxious. I am feeling pretty optimistic about this cycle only because I'm having a slew of signs: cramps, bloat, dizziness, nausea, aversion to water (tastes weird), extreme fatigue, crazy hunger, and my breasts are on fire.
Of course-- maybe I'm having a super late puberty boob growth/strange stomach virus combo...Ha!
Let's talk about you. Feeling optimistic? Unsure? Anxious? Any symptoms or weird things happening?
Hang in there! How awesome would that be if the honeymoon did the trick? I am 5dpo and I swear I was 7. I have a ways to go. No symptoms but that's good because when I was pregnant I didn't have any so I will go with that.
Late puberty boob growth? You mean I still have a chance for mine to grow?! That would be cool.
I am 6dpo and vascillating between being optimistic and mentally assuming a BFN and moving on to next cycle and my RE appointment. I also had zero symptoms the cycle of my BFP.

I am guessing I am 2dpo (based on OPK and O pains only) . I had some scheduling snafus which led to not being able to temp consistently this cycle so my chart doesn't really show much of anything.
Obviously no symptoms yet. I'm only cautiously optimistic this cycle, we had decent timing (if my guess at O is correct) but I just don't feel overly hopeful I guess? Could be that temping didn't work out and so I want to try again to actually SEE everything on my chart and I'm focusing on that instead of freaking out about the next two weeks of waiting!
@WinoGrrl- Even though your temping may have not worked out, it doesn't mean you are out this cycle! If you think you hit O and did the deed on that day, your chances are better than you think.
Yeah...charting is great because like you said-- you can see everything. But, it also gives you anxiety if you are an obsessive chart stalker like me. I look at my chart like...5 times a day.
@lgsdesigneroh, I know I'm not out - just not super hopeful as I'm not 100% positive when/if I ovulated. I can definitely see the chart becoming an obsession if I end up needing more cycles to get pregnant!
I actually have no idea if we're in the 2ww or not. Things are obviously all kinds of messed up thanks to the m/c and we haven't gotten AF back yet (although according to FF, it should be today). I was doing pregnancy tests to make sure my levels dropped and once they did, i started doing opks to see when I'd ovulate (but didn't temp). Things were starting to look promising a couple weeks ago as the line on the opk started getting darker, but then it never got up to the required "as dark as the control line" before it started fading back into obscurity. I had some spotting last Thursday, and cramping off and on since then as well as 3 nights in a row of heartburn over the weekend, so I think if AF doesn't show up by the end of the week I'll pee on more sticks just in case.
I'm on mobile so can't post my chart--first time temping so I think it's not quite right. FF says I'm 5 DPO, but that changed once (originally FF said two days earlier) and that day I had some typical O symptoms for me. So, we either hit -2 or O depending which is right My temps get a little screwed up I think bc DH is a bad sleeper and tosses and turns a lot so I spend the last hour or so every morning in a less than deep sleep. Should prob wake enough to temp at first rustle and go back to sleep!
Not that hopeful this time. Just the one BD in the right window. But hoping a little bit that it's not this cycle anyway as we have a trip next month (just happens to be perfectly timed for FW through no planning on my part) to a cabin in the woods on a lake with just me and DH and I wouldn't mind a hot toddy or two by the fire while we're there. Of course...a virgin hot tea would do just fine too I'd also love for our baby to be "from" this little cabin--we went there last year and it was one of my favorite trips of all time.
No symptoms at all, but I also have no idea for sure where I am in my cycle, ha! Time will tell I guess! Last month my boobs hurt like crazy and I peed twice every night...and nada. So, who knows!
@lgsdesigner I hope you have a honeymoon baby, that'd be great! I wanted one from our hurricane party day, but it wasn't really good timing!
@wannabmama23 - I am laughing at the comment "DH is a bad sleeper and tosses and turns a lot so I spend the last hour or so every morning in a less than deep sleep". My DH does this too! He will also get up like 10 times a night to drink water and pee. I want to yell to him "STOP drinking so much water so we can get some rest around here!" Haha!
I really hope you get your little cabin baby! FX for you!
@lgsdesigner you only chart stalk 5x daily? Your chart is pretty and so wonderful if you do conceive this go round! I'm 7dpo testing on Sunday at 12 dpo because that is our 2nd anniversary. If it's a negative I will not tell dh. I am feeling hopeful at the moment!
Ugh. I'm 9dpo. I was feeling hopeful but my temperature plummeted this morning. I know I'm not completely out yet, but I'm not feeling too hopeful. I'm also feeling crampy and pms-y. I'm pathetic, so I've already taken 7 hpts over the last 3 days. I've never gotten a positive before 11 dpo, but that doesn't stop me from peeing on all the things.

@kelley72 - Well...I *try* to only look at it 5 times a day. I realized a few days ago I was obsessed (was looking at it at every meal, by the pool/beach on our honeymoon like 10 times, and almost every time I picked up my phone)...haha! So, yeah. It was an internal intervention for me so I now limit myself to 5 times a day max.
@SchruteBucks- Could the low temp be an implantation dip? Can we see your chart?
@lgsdesigner I think it's a little late for an implantation dip. I had a dip at 5dp that made me feel hopeful as a possible implantation dip. Today's temp went below my coverline. Let me see if I can figure out how to link my chart.

I agree that it looks your implantation dip (if that's what it is) would have been 5DPO. As far as this late dip, did you sleep well? Anything that could have thrown it off?
I don't temp so I can't tell you what DPO I am but I am cd 17 of 21-23 day cycle. I will test Friday only because I'm going to Atlantic city for a girls weekend and a lot of booze will be consumed. I absolutely hate seeing BFN so I hardly ever test but I won't let myself drink unless I see just one line.
I am not at all optimistic for myself but I hope some of you other wonderful ladies get your BFP's
@hooligans4 The pre-party weekend test is a good idea...and in case of BFN you've got a lot of fun to look forward to! (Well, fun regardless, drinks in case
Let's see if this works...I might have figured how to link my chart.
That is a beautiful chart, @lgsdesigner. FX for a honeymoon BFP.
@hooligans4: Your girls' weekend sounds awesome. I need to cultivate more friendships so I can do some fun and frivolous things.
As for me, I think that I'm on 1DPO. Honestly, I am just so relieved to be through the FW. DH has been working 16-20 hour days and it's just hell trying to schedule sex. It's turned into a punishment. :-(

URMySunshine77 ugh, I hear you on the scheduling thing. it is so weird to HAVE to fit it in on specific days. especially when the rest of life doesn't pay attention to my FW and gives us all kinds of crap to do.
@lgsdesigner I don't sleep well or much. I got about 2 or 3 hours last night. Usually when that happens my numbers are artificially high, not low. I guess I'll know one way or another in a couple of days, just not feeling as hopeful as I was yesterday

FF finally gave me cross hairs so I am 6 dpo. I was okay when I thought I just didn't ovulate and happily awaited AF to start again. Now that I got an O day, I'm kicking myself because we timing wasn't great (way better on the cycle I got pregnant on).
I'm really worried because on my chart it seems my body tried to ovulate twice, 2nd time being successful. I only say that because I had O pains the 2 dips that are 7 days apart. So naturally I am assuming the worst. No clue what impact that has. I started a new grade level with non menapausal women so I'm thinking body was just syncing. No symptoms and not expecting any because of timing. Here is my chart. It's a mess.
@ShruteBucks - 2 to 3 hours? HOLY MOLY. I would be an exhausted mess! I hope coffee came to your rescue today.
@URMS- Thank you...we shall see. Scheduling sex is a little off-putting. I just wanted to enjoy it, and I did, but DH seemed a little nervous and anxious and it wasn't the same. Our post-ovulation sex was WAY better.
I am 7DPO right now, and my temp took a nosedive this morning. Our timing was better this month, since I started using OPKs for the first time, but my LP is generally no longer than 10 days, so a big old dip on 7DPO, just makes me think AF will be coming this weekend.
Re:scheduling sex--I isually have a way higher sex drive than DH and I've been pleasantly surprised that he has been extra eager when it's good timing...so...I might have suggested the window was a little bigger than it was (in my defense, I really thought O would be days earlier than FF says it was...)
@lgsdesigner - I suppose it could be an implantation dip, but I am trying not to read too much into it that way so I'm not disappointed if AF shows up. That being said, my temp jumped back up this morning, so who knows?
@lgsdesigner FX!! What a wonderful wedding gift! :-)
I am in CD32 and AF is so late. I don't chart. Last month was a 27 day cycle. Took a test again this morning and a BFN. So I am waiting for AF to show. I have been completely exhausted, bouts of nausea where I can literally get sick at that moment then passes, gagging when I brush my teeth, and famished where I need to eat right away. But with the BFN again I seriously doubt I am and out this cycle.
FX to all those waiting to test!
Last day of the 2WW.... Blood test tomorrow for me although the HPT came back negative yesterday so I'm pretty sure it's another BFN. Not sure if we will do another cycle of IUI or change it up a bit.
@ABabyMaybe4us - Thank you! I am supposed to test Saturday, but might test Friday. The symptoms are very strong, but I would hate to waste a test if I test too early.
And your symptoms sound just like pg symptoms! Are you sure you maybe didn't just implant later than you thought?
My SIL tested 8 times AFTER AF was due, and got BFN after BFN. The 8th time, it was positive and she now has a 10 yr old DD. You just never know!
My temp went back above the coverline but I'm crampy and spotting so I'm pretty sure I will wake up with my period tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else!

@lgsdesigner Thanks! I don't want to make a mountain out of a mole hill since the body and hormones can throw anything off. I could have implanted later and since I don't chart, I could have ovulated later too. However, I just feel it is more not ovulating (even though I don't think I have never ovulated except the normal 1-2 a year) or just a late period.
Another few more days of waiting before the beta. How's everyone doing? I've been trying to keep busy. It the days are crawling by. I've been tempted to take a hpt but I've fought that off so far. Hope everyone is hanging in there better than I am.
i've got another week before I'll test. I've had some cramping and I was super emotional yesterday for no reason. I've had bad luck with temping so FF never showed CH but my temps this week have all been higher than earlier in my cycle. I'm not super hopeful but we'll see...
I finally got my first crosshairs on my FF chart, so I guess I'm officially in my TWW! Based on my previous (and pretty regular) cycles though, it looks like I have a shorter LP: my "two weeks" wait might be more like 10 or 11 days before AF is due -- I hope that isn't too short.
It looks like we managed to BD on O-3 and the day of ovulation itself (some performance anxiety got in the way on -2 and -1). So...not the very best chances probably, but I'm not out yet I hope!
