2 week wait!!

kboughan

Ok, so... where do i begin?? lol. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months now, i know some people will say, thats not very long. well, i guess they're right, but it sure feels like a long time, i honestly thought it would happen sooner than that... anyway, my periods have been very irregular, before i got married i had periods ranging from 27-40 days... and then when we got married i went on birth control, and then they were normal 28 day cycles... but it was so hard on me, and i couldnt stand it anymore, so i went off. then we waited about another two-three months, and then started trying. right when i went off of b.c. my cycles stayed at 28 days, then went to 30, then to 35, then 40, then 45, then 52, then my mom told me about maca root, and i was in the middle of a 45 day (at least) cycle again, and i took one, the next day i got my period. (so i guess it was working!!) I have been taking maca root (awesome) this whole cycle, along with vitamin D, and prenatals. I am also temping and using the saliva microscope. I have been charting on fertility friend, and it says that i ovulated!! and on day 14!! Now it has been 10 DPO, and I have a few more days to go through my 2ww... I REALLY want this, but i dont want to get my hopes up in case its nothing, I have had hopes before and it didnt stick... I have also been having pain in my lower abdomen... not entirely like cramps, but its hard to explain, i also have been having some spotting, its different though. like, once a day, only when i wipe, and i have to double check because its so light, it doesnt really look like anything. I had some after my husband and I had sex too... but that was it for that day... my husband is very optomistic, telling me it could be implantation bleeding... so... I guess what i want to know is:

1) has anyone else took maca root that has helped them get pregnant
2) has anyone else had pain like mine
3) has anyone else has spotting like mine
4) when should i test
5) i need ideas for how to stay busy for the next 5 days
6) and any support would be great
7) and anything else you guys want to share


oh.. ps. i really dont want anyone telling me that im freaking out because we havent been trying for that long... and stuff... ive had a lot of people tell me that and i just need support now. I really hope that I am pregnant, I REALLY want to be!! fingers crossed!!

P.P.S. sorry this is so long...

were you pregnant??

Every body and every pregnancy is different. What my early pregnancy symptoms were may not be for you. When I was pregnant with DS the only early symptoms I had were bloating/fullness but starving. I wanted tangy things like pickles and I wanted to sleep all day.

My advice is to read the newbie link, start a hobby or go about your usual day, dont look to much in every twitch and pain as youll drive yourself crazy. Good luck

Mommy2Boys09

1) no, never even heard of it and would probably ask a doctor. 
2) yes, especially after coming off BCP
3) yes, my last cycle was that way
4) I would wait til 14 dpo
5) try to put it in the back of your mind and do what your normally do. 

I have no idea if you're pregnant but I will say when I was pregnant with #2 I always bled just a little after me & DH had sex. I have also done this when I was not pregnant though. Good luck! I hope you get your BFP soon! 

BlackBooks

1) I hear it is a aphrodisiac - maybe you shouldn't be the only one in the house taking it!

2) Sure. Males and females of any age can experience abdominal pain at any time.

3) nope

4) You can start testing as early as 10 days past ovulation. If you aren't charting and you do not know when that is then you can test when you are late for your period. Test once a week until you get your period. After 60 days of no period and negative pregnancy tests then you should call your doctor.

5) Work- out, craft or sew, visit your public library, host a party, work overtime, bicycle or go for long walks, can or preserve foods or stock your freezer, volunteer, get a second job, get a third job, give your hubs a blow job, detail your own car, detail your neighbor's car, crosswords, word jumbles, sudoku, paint your home, take a class, join a co-ed sports league, plan a weekend getaway, visit a state park, give your self a mani-pedi, visit your family, skype all your family, sign up for a pen pal, plan a girl's night out, wash your windows, scrub your baseboards, whiten and brighten that tile grout, sign up to work on a house for Habitiat for Humanity, prepare and send care packages for your country's military service, attend worship services or prayer meetings.

6) The anxiety you are experiencing is normal. Many of us have been trying as long (or longer) as you have been. You can do this.

7) Your writing reminds me of the Miley Cyrus sketch from SNL

kboughan

UPDATE: 11dpo no spotting, but feeling very heavy down there... even the slightest pressure on my lower stomach area hurts... normally i can push so hard that it looks painful, but doesn't normally hurt. my sense of smell is heightened... my husband was dumping some old milk (gross) down the drain, and I was all the way on the couch and i could smell it as if i opened the cap and stuck my nose in the bottle, he was standing right over it and he said he couldn't smell anything. I have also been extremely emotional, i cry just about at everything lately, and last night i had to get up to pee like 10 times, (talk about no sleep). I hope all this is meaning that i am going to be a lucky lady soon!! I hope so!!

Seriously, how have you had the energy to keep up this level of obsessing for 6 months now?

Try to think of it this way: obsessing over every symptom doesn't make you more or less pregnant. You either are or you aren't. 99.9% of early pregnancy symptoms are also PMS symptoms, so there is no point in trying to guess whether any one symptom means you are pregnant. And obsessing tends to cause women to start imagining symptoms. I once imagined I was having nausea every day for several weeks because I was convinced all of the negative HPTs just HAD to be wrong. They weren't wrong, I wasn't pregnant and the nausea was 100% in my head.

What you are doing to yourself is incredibly common, but it won't help you out, especially if it does take a year (or more) for it to happen for you. 

kboughan

you know what, it doesnt matter if i have been imagining it or not. i dont really care, its exciting to think that these symptoms are pregnancy symptoms. and if they are not, well, at least my husband and I have been having fun trying. I dont really understand people who insist on downing other people. this is more for me to express how i feel, and what i think, not saying "omg, i think im pregnant because of... " this is me saying, "hey, here are some signs that i dont normally have and are related with pregnancies"... so either way, this is an outlet for me. I dont really have anyone else to talk to, so i come on here for support and to tell someone what is going on with me. and why not obsess with this for the past 6 months, if I dont chart and stuff how will i know when im ovulating, when the best time to have sex would be?? this is an amazing time for me, and i like obsessing over little things and big things.

Good for you, I guess? Just keep in mind that these sorts of posts aren't generally welcomed on this board. So if you are looking for a place to obsess over symptoms, either make a drastically briefer post over on the TWW thread or go to a different forum. You got nice responses this time around, but I doubt subsequent posts will get the same response. Just saying, this board might not be the right fit for you if you plan on making a lot of these types of posts.

kboughan

wow... your one of those people, ok so maybe i might have gotten on the wrong forum... who cares, if you dont want to read it all the way through then dont, if you do and you have something positive to say, then say it. i have read a lot of posts that the person accidentaly posted on the wrong board, and got so much grief about it. this is "Trying to Get Pregnant" thats what im doing, so i dont really know how or why this is the wrong board, but whatever. and people just need to calm down. TTC is supposed to be fun and exciting, not stressful of trying to decide where to post and worried about other people making them feel dumb. this website is called "the bump" for all women who are TTC, or are pregnant, or are moms, so really anywhere i post on here, should be welcomed.

Eh, every forum on the internet has their own unspoken rules and customs that determine whether someone is a good fit or not. I was seriously trying to let you know how things work around here so that you would be more accepted. You can take the advice or get flamed next time you post something like this obsessing about symptoms that mean nothing. Women on this board are very straightforward and take a very logical, scientific approach to TTC. You don't seem to be that type, which tells me that another site like BabyGaga might be better for your obsessive style. -shrug-

kboughan

well it seems like your the only one with a problem with it on here. the bump is a fun pregnancy website. maybe you can find a differnt place that your more welcomed. im not gonna go anywhere, i have been a member of the knot, and the nest, and the bump for years now. so... yeah, im not going anywhere, and this is a Trying to get pregnant board, i dont see how you can say that this is wrong for me. TTC is fun, its really not that scientific, you have to plan and have good timing, but you cant have a scientific approach to everything. God will bless you with a baby when His timing is right. and I will have fun watching signs and symptoms, and posting on the bump and talking to mom-to-be's because that is what this website is for.

I'm just saying it might not be your style. Feel free to post as much as you want. Just don't be surprised if people start to get annoyed if you consistently post about your symptoms, particularly since multiple people have told you that these symptoms don't mean anything until you get a positive test.

kboughan

well its not my fault if people get annoyed. that is their choice, i just come on here for fun posting my symptoms, it doesnt matter if i am preggers or not, i can still have fun and find support on this site. the reason i come on the bump is that there is never too much to post, everyone always has something to say. and this site is kept up and is recent. although i think a lot of women on here take things too personally or get jealous of people who have not been trying as long as they have and have been getting more success. I am not trying to annoy anyone, and i am not one to take offense. i still dont understand why you would say this is the wrong place for me. this is a website dedicated to women who are TTC, or are pregnant, or are mothers, or all of the above. I am happy to be here, and if your not i truly hope that you can find somewhere you can be happy!!

Might want to watch the bolded things above. More examples of comments that won't be welcome around here.

And, indeed, I am happy on this board, because it's a good fit for my personality and I can take advice, even harsh advice, and apply it to myself. You don't strike me as capable of that, since you assumed my advice was an insult of some kind. Being told a place might not be the right fit isn't an insult. 

Again, though, you are welcome to post. I just doubt you are going to like the responses you get in the future.

Jasperk23

Dude, listen to JJ. She is trying to give you advice and I'd say she's pretty much spot on. If you're sticking around, just keep away from talking about posters being jealous and shit. That won't fly.
That being said, GL TTC.

Edited: Forgot a word - tried to sneak it in but TB ratted on me.

What JJ is saying is that it is helpful to lurk and learn the board customs.  Saying people on this board are jealous of those who get pregnant sooner is (a) not true and (b) not going to make you any friends.

Yeah, that jealousy comment sucks balls for sure. I am kinda new too though, and I don't understand why "baby dust" is not ok. I don't really use it, but didn't see anything about it in the newbie post.

Get a blog. No, seriously, GET A BLOG. If obsessing over every fart and cramp is fun for you, great, but it's not any fun for us. This is a place where if you GIVE support you GET support. We certainly don't enjoy doling out hard earned knowledge, advice and support to someone who doesn't like it and blows us off because we didn't spoon feed them what they wanted to hear. If you want to continue to ask questions and be on this board in a meaningful way, then start offering support to others before expecting it from the board unconditionally. If we're just going to become your symptom obsessing sounding board, we don't want you. Just as in real life you wouldn't walk into a room full of strangers and expect them to squee over all your farts and gas bubbles and cramps, you can't expect us to do the same.

Kris2011RN

I agree with covell to get a blog.

There are times where I can smell things that others cannot. Am I pregnant no. If I thought that much on my symptoms I would go insane. Plus I would really be sad if AF showed up after convincing me and DH that I was pregnant.

Why are you flagging JJ's post? Do you just not like what she said?

Nothing necessarily wrong with baby dust, just something that tends to annoy people around here, like using other cutesy phrases like baby dance or preggo. Like I was explaining to kboughan, just stuff that people don't generally say around here. There's nothing technically wrong with anything she said (well, the jealousy comment was pretty screwed up) but all of it is just generally not welcome around here.

kboughan

i wasnt saying any of you were jealous, all i was saying is that women do get jealous. I have read a lot of posts that were people telling other women to calm down and they havent been trying for that long and that they have been trying for 1+ years and what not, and then they give an update and say that they are pregnant and then the other woman gets all bent because it happened sooner for her. It may say im a "noobie" on here, but thats just because I dont post a lot of things, but i read a heck of a lot of things on here. i dont think there really is such a thing as unspoken rules of a board, look at the board im posting on, "TRYING TO GET PREGNANT" thats what i'm doing. And if you dont like the phrase BABY DUST, then who cares, just let it blow past you, i personally like those cutesy phrases, baby dust, and baby dance, and peggo, and preggers. and the reason i wont get a blog is because i dont post that often. and when i do, its just because i want to share and enjoy these random symptoms and signs, and the excitement of the two week wait, and if im not pregnant, then my DH and i can still have fun trying next time. and there are millions of different boards and posts on here, other people post their signs and symptoms all the time too, is it just because i chose to post on the "TRYING TO GET PREGNANT" board?? I think that its kinda messed up to have someone choose a board that they are related to and get grief about it. I wasnt saying anything wrong, and i didnt argue with anyone. and if you dont want me, then move past this post, you dont have to put your two cents in if its just gonna be negative. i can get negative advice from people i know, i come on here so i can talk with random strangers and let things out. its not good to hold it in ya know.

anyway, i dont think that i am doing anything wrong here. if ya'll dont like me, thats fine, thats your problem not mine. but you dont have to waste your time commenting on me if youre just gonna say go away, im not gonna go anywhere. i have a right to be here as much as you do.

baby dust to all!!

kboughan

im not offended. I just dont see the point of posting this in a board that is clearly for people who are trying to get pregnant and then get grief about it. it doesnt make any sense to me. i am trying to get pregnant, so i posted in this board. and yeah, i have noticed the stupid "unspoken rules" i just dont think that they are a good idea. if someone wants to post in "trying to get pregnant" board, let them. this website doesnt have a limit of posts, so it cant get "overrun". if you dont like what i have to say then move past it. i just really dont understand why everyone is getting so bent. I posted what i feel, this website is for support because its too early to tell family and friends, so i come on here. and explaining how i feel. and like i said before, i wont get a blog because i dont post that much. so when i do post, and you dont like what i have to say, then move past my post and comment on someone else's. this is just so funny to me, all of the people getting offended and having to comment on this, its a waste of your time, it doesnt bother me one bit. if you guys are tyring to get me to crack and say im never gonna come on here again, then you guys have issues, and are wasting your own time and effort, im not gonna go anywhere, this website is for TTC, and Preggers, and moms, and this board is for "trying to get pregnant". im not in the wrong place.

baby dust to all!!

Well, here's the thing - you have posted 11 times since September 2010 and only one of those posts was not on your own thread. 

You have 3 posts ranting about phantom symptoms - implantation bleeding, implantation bleeding and two week wait.  You can sure post whatever you want here, but so can everyone else in response if they think you are being silly or worse, disrespectful of board customs. 

Kris2011RN

People post their symptoms in the 2ww thread if they feel like it. We all don't make a new thread about every symptom we are experiencing. Anyways good luck.

You also never answered my question as to why you flag jj's post. I am just really curious about that.

You know what does matter? Apostrophes. The proper use of "Your" and "You're". And not rambling on so long that the post takes up my entire screen.

You know what else matters? The rest of the people on this board. If you're going to constantly obsess over every single "symptom" that could be absolutely nothing, you're going to annoy everyone and get flamed for every single post. Take that to a post where it should be instead of infiltrating the board with meaningless stupid posts.

And baby dust? Seriously??

kristine526

Lastly, you instead of "flagging" JJ's posts, maybe you should "love" them since it's actually really good advice.

jewls619

One question: Do you keep putting "baby dust to all" at the end of all your posts just because people have told you that it's a cutesy phrase that really isn't used here? You seem like you're intentionally trying to annoy people.

janda426

Holy shit you are annoying. PPs have more patience than I do. If you're gonna keep using this place as a diary, you're not gonna like the responses you get and might as well grab your bag of baby dust and hit the road. Otherwise if you'd like to actually contribute to the board instead of waltzing in here like we all owe you support and coddling, we'd love to have you. Try doing another intro and placing your posts in the appropriate threads instead of clogging up everyone's screen.

That's what I was thinking.. It's not cool to flag something just because you don't like the response you are getting. JJ was giving good advice. None of her posts had anything "flag-worthy".

kboughan

seriously, i can say this over and over again, it doesnt matter to me if you like me or not, it doesnt matter to me if you comment and put your two cents in. This is what i want to do, im not gonna go anywhere, and i have read a lot of women using the cutesy phrases, baby dust, baby dance, and all of those. i really like it. its just like using the phrase good luck in trying to get preggo. if you want to read the post and comment, great!! wonderful!! if you dont want to read all my posts and you think im annoying, then skip over them, you dont have to read it. You waste your own time reading my posts and commenting on them. I think its really fun, and honestly funny when people get so bent as to have to write something trying to make me leave or something. im not gonna go anywhere. I like this website, and if you dont like me posting, or making a new thread, well, i dont really care. it really doesnt bother me that you guys are saying "i cant even read your post", and "your so annoying", and stuff like that. its your fault if you get annoyed, im not intentionally trying to annoy anyone, its your choice if you get annoyed. Anyway, the last time i posted about implantaion bleeding, i was pregnant, and i lost it. so, yeah, not phantom symptoms. and now, i am experiencing different things that i haven't felt before, so it is exciting for me to post about them, and share. and if you dont like it, then skip my little thread, and read and comment on someone else's that you do care about. if you really want to waste your own time thinking of something snarky to say, well then, go right ahead, but it doesnt bother me one llittle bit. I think its funny that you would waste your own time and energy instead of taking a deep breath and move on.

and i like to post baby dust at the end of my stuff. I try to do it everytime i post since i heard it, i love the phrase, its your fault for getting annoyed.

and the reason i flagged her posts, was because i dont care to hear about all the stuff im doing wrong. she started out saying i was posting in the wrong place this is the board called "Trying to Get Pregnant". HELLO!!! Thats what im doing!! now i just think its funny cause everyone has to put in their two cents and waste their own time getting offended!! this seriously makes me laugh. Idk if you guys are just bitter and trying to ruin everyone else's experience of trying to get pregnant, but you're not gonna hurt my spirits. im not gonna go anywhere, and im not gonna change. so if you dont like it, then move past it. really... wow...

baby dust to all!!

OP, I just don't understand why you'd bother to post here when you so clearly don't want to follow board norms? There are many other sites much more suitable, where they squee over every symptom and love to hear about your farts and feelings. Babygaga is one such site, I can't even comprehend why you wouldn't try a place more up your alley. In real life I don't try to infiltrate a group of people where I don't fit in and try to force them to be more like I want them to be, or just shout and whine and say "I'm not leaving cuz I have a right to be here", that's just moronic...why on earth would I choose to stay in a place where I clearly don't fit in?

Honestly, this is not just a blog to spew your symptoms around just because you want to air them out somewhere. This is a COMMUNITY where we get to know one another and there is give and take. You just want to take...take up people's time, get support and advice, but not give the same to others. You're selfish and a user, and we just don't have time for selfish users around here. If you want to interact meaningfully with this board, don't just use us. Give back to the board in some way. Telling us about your symptoms is not giving back in any way. We will not just ignore your posts, if you're going to continue to post like an idiot you're going to continue to get called on it; if as you say you have the right to post here regardless of whether you're following the 'rules' or not, we have every right to respond as we see fit. Rights are a two way street.

I never said you "cant" post on my threads, i just said if your gonna get bent then you probably dont want to waste your time... thats all.

Board Norms?? please... im just posting what i feel, and its not every fart, and gas bubble. and last time i checked, anyone can sign up for The Bump, its not some special elite group of women who know everything. I dont, and you dont either. and why should i leave because this little group of all the women on here think im annoying. thats dumb. you might think im annoying but others dont, other women and i get along great!! and i understand that this is not a blog and that this is a community, why do you think i posted this here. so i can talk to other women about their two week wait and stuff. not to get steamed because you guys think my writing is annoying, or you dont want to read it. well, if you dont want to read it then dont. its your choice to read it. im not forcing you. and how could i give back to you guys, all you have done is tell me im annoying and that i dont belong here. well too dang bad, cause im not going anywhere.

and the reason i am posting so much, is because i am laughing so hard at the fact that everything i say, you guys take to such offense!! its really amusing, and the fact that when i post so much stuff, you guys just eat it up and have to say something about it!! really, if you dont like what i have to say, you dont have to respond or read my stuff. it is completely YOUR choice in responding or not, im not forcing you to respond, and im not telling you to move one!!

baby dust to all!!

how is that so middle school that i dont get offended and clearly the other women on here are?? i think its pretty adult to not take offense at something so silly as a thread on a pregnancy website.

look, i am sorry for those that got offended on here. and the reason my first post was so long is beacuse i was trying to introduce myself. i gave some of my history and that this is what is going on now.

and all i did was make a thread about a two week wait, about my experience with it. i wanted to know other womens experiences with it as well. i really honestly didnt think i was gonna get this much grief about it.

i dont know why all the women on here are so angry. isnt trying to get pregnant supposed to be a joyful, wonderful, special experience?? If you get upset about my little post, what happens when something important actually happens??!!

i guess i just dont understand what the big deal about me posting this is. making my own thread... its not like there is a limit to how many posts... the reason i like the bump so much is that when i would read other peoples posts and threads, and boards. I could feel the positive energy, and the love here. the bump has a lot of amazing stuff on here that other cites just dont have. and i love the fact that there is a community like this. but i had never dreamed that if i posted something about me and asked for advice and other peoples experiences, that it would turn into this type of hating thread. all i was trying to do was have some fun, and talk with other women.

and the reason i flagged her posts, was because i dont care to hear about all the stuff im doing wrong. she started out saying i was posting in the wrong place this is the board called "Trying to Get Pregnant". HELLO!!! Thats what im doing!! now i just think its funny cause everyone has to put in their two cents and waste their own time getting offended!! this seriously makes me laugh. Idk if you guys are just bitter and trying to ruin everyone else's experience of trying to get pregnant, but you're not gonna hurt my spirits. im not gonna go anywhere, and im not gonna change. so if you dont like it, then move past it. really... wow...

baby dust to all!!

Like 50 people just told you the exact same thing I did, so I demand you flag everyone in the spirit of fairness.

Actually, don't do that, cause that's just mean to the mods to make them read this stupid conversation.

You just don't get it, you need to GIVE support to GET support. Otherwise you're just a user. I haven't seen you post meaningful advice or support to anyone else, all of your posts are defending your own right to post anything you want regardless of what's expected around here. Are you really incapable of posting your symptoms in the daily 2WW thread? You say you want to compare with other women, well that thread is the place to do it. And if you truly cared about anyone else but yourself, you'd stop posting that ridiculous Baby Dust siggy with those stupid grinning faces on every post. You're doing that just to rub people the wrong way, which is annoying and childish, and this board is anything but that. We're ADULTS who try to help each other and do so within accepted guidelines and norms, it's the way a real community or society works. You clearly have no concept of being part of a group in any legitimate way and just want to do whatever pleases you regardless of how it makes others feel. I suppose you want a trophy for that?
