TTC after 35

2ww = justifiable lunacy???

I'm 4dpiui, my first IUI, and seriously think I'm slightly looney. I get cramps and get discouraged, convinced AF is coming. Then I feel nauseated and swear I'm preggo. Happens 2-3 times a day...and I'm only 4 days in! Not.sure.I'm.going.to.make.it...

Re: 2ww = justifiable lunacy???

  • Hang in there! Totally justified!

  • Hahaha! I totally relate. Totally normal, I think! 2WW are the slowest two weeks ever. Plenty of time to go insane.

  • Just try to remain calm. Lol the phantom symptoms totally plays mind tricks on us. In about a week you can poas and find out for sure. Good luck
  • Yes, agree you are allowed to have a ride on the crazy train of thoughts during the 2ww!  Best wishes and  I hope the time passes quickly for you!
  • I'm 4dpo (natural) and feeling like my external tissue down there is sort of swollen similar to right before AF comes.  is it a symptom?!  trying to ignore it!
    Also last night I dreampt that I wiped and it was dark reddish brown blood and I was like "It's implantation bleeding?!" and on the toilet paper was a picture of my baby to come!  
    Ahhhhhh! 
    Trying to stay calm and breathe.
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP! 
  • You are just really eager to find out! It's okay.

    *children mentioned*
    When I TTC my DS and DD, I was on pins and needles for the entire 2WW. Every little thing that happened to me I would say in my head "Maybe I'm pregnant!" I remember someone walking by with entirely too much cologne on and I thought my sense of smell was heightened, therefore, I was pregnant! Nope. He just had too much cologne on. 
  • Hang in there, @Fredifer1115!  Not too much longer!

    FX for you!

  • Thank you for this post! You just reminded me I need a new bulk pack of HPTs!

  • @MamaBear904 I have one HPT right now and I'm resisting the bulk buy hoping that having only one will force me to resist being crazy-pee-on-a-stick lady. I somehow doubt it will help. Ha!

  • @MelissaMiso, then you just become "crazy and go out and pay full retail price to pee on a stick lady" :-P
