We're trying out a monthly thread where we can all talk through, about and around the dreaded, exciting and BSC-inducing TWW, and here it is! This is also the perfect place to share your BFP with us! Ups and downs, highs and lows, zen and insane - we've got your back.
I am currently, probably, 4 DPO on my third cycle post loss. My temperatures have been totally bizarre, as it's gone from being so hot overnight I woke up from sweating to extra chilly. I'm restless and not sleeping properly. I'm not hopeful about this cycle, even though we hit -5 to O (as long as I ovulated when I think I did) because I am paranoid O was actually two days later. We'll see - I don't know how long my luteal phase is, as it was 14 and then 16 days my last two cycles. It was 13 pre-loss.
Bring on the crazy, pals.

I don't have any tests in the house and I won't buy one until my missed period. I had a 16 day luteal phase last time, but I don't think that will repeat. I spot 13 DPO exactly once in the morning around 11 am, so I know I'm out once I get there.

As far as my TWW, I am copying what I posted over on the IF board. I am currently 10dpo (based on trigger shot) and scheduled to have a blood draw on Wednesday am.
I resisted the urge to POAS today. I even opened the package and then returned it to its place under the bathroom sink. Based on my trigger, it's probably only 10dpo, so I was afraid of either facing a false negative or a false positive, especially since I didn't test out my trigger, so I wouldn't have known if I could trust it or not.
I only have that one hpt in the house at the moment, so I think I will save it for Wednesday morning. That way, we can be prepared for the beta results a little bit ahead of time.
My fingers are still crossed for all of you still waiting to test. I'll share my fortune from last night as a wish for us all:

I am obsessively feeling myself up as surreptitiously as possible. (so glad I have an office!) Seriously, I am more obsessed with boobs than a teenager. And I am obsessed with any twinge or cramp in my lower abdomen. AF is scheduled to arrive Saturday. I am 6 DPO. DH is a bit worried that I am going to crash emotionally if I am not KU this cycle (our first month of trying- come on buddy, I don't expect it to happen so quickly). I came out of the bathroom and told him I think I am KU on Saturday night. But by the time we went to bed, I had convinced myself I wasn't. Will I be sad? Probably a little bit but I don't expect it. I have decided to resist POAS unless AF is at least 7 days MIA.
This is cycle 1 post-loss ttc, so it's a bit wonky and I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated, despite temping and OPKs, but I think it was this weekend so we only got 2 tries in, but somehow my brain is convinced we hit it and it's going to happen. Brains are amazing in how they overrule common sense and knowing the probability.
I am trying to keep myself busy while I avoid POAS and ending up sad when it is waaaay too early. BSC, here I come!
Good luck to every one in the TWW!

Temperature is down again today for second time, and definitively below the cover line. Also more spotting. So I'm calling it out this cycle. *sigh*

I feel like AF is impending, but not here yet. If she shows, I'd rather it be a least two more days out so that I know we are at least impacting my luteal phase with my progesterone suppositories. But, we all know we aren't in control here.

I missed 4 days of temping, so it is very inaccurate, but I think my temp is still up. Very hard to tell with the missing days (cat hid my thermometer - he can be a jerk). I'm trying not to be super optimistic but it really sneaks into your head, doesn't it?
It really does. When I got my BFP in February, I wasn't expecting it at all. I even apologized to DH for not being pregnant. And them bam- preggo. After the loss, I don't want to be optimistic but I do harbor secret belief I am am going to get a BFP this weekend.
My husband told me he thinks we should put the breaks on until after the summer because "I'm not heathy enough to have a baby" whatever that means. In no way do I want to stop trying. I just think he's tired of the chore it has come to feel like. We've been trying for eight months and I've had two m/c during that time.
Then comes marriage = July 19th, 2014
Then comes baby = May 19th 2015

~6 week loss in January 2016

I am now 6DPO and am going to try to hold off testing until 10DPO or so. I've never gotten a BFP before 12DPO in the past so even that may be early for me.

I've been lurking here and was active over on the miscarriage board about a month ago. This is our first cycle actively TTC after our loss at 7 weeks in early March. We've been undergoing infertility treatments because I wasn't ovulating at all, but it seems as if the miscarriage "kick-started" things... Silver linings, right? I ovulated on my own last month, but my RE is concerned about my egg quality so I took Letrozole this cycle to help with "bigger, stronger, faster eggs", add DH says. I ovulated when expected, we had impeccable timing, and am now 11 dpo. I'm going crazy!!! Trying to wait until Saturday (14 dpo) to test... This is just the thread I needed! Good luck to all of us.
Maybe I'll keep pushing it out another day, but the urge to test is strong, especially with the cheap tests.
Baby #2 M/C 4/5/16
I don't know if this sounds strange but if anyone will understand it's all of you....part of the reason I want to test is that I'm worried that I will start bleeding but because it's early that it might be a CP and not AF and I don't want to miss it if it's a CP because they can do testing
