TWW post (week of 8/24 - 8/30)

emsmama15

Hi everyone!  This is a two week wait post for anyone who is in or soon will be in the TWW. Tell us your symptoms (no matter how crazy they may be!), how many DPO you are, and when/if you'll test. Good luck everyone!

So here I am again. I'm trying Premama Fertility this time around. Saturday I got a solid smiley on CB Advanced! But DH had gone to a Panthers game and unfortunately had a little too much to drink so we didn't get to BD. we did BD Friday and yesterday. Anyway, I am probably 1DPO so we'll see! Prayers for all in TWW!

emsmama15

Good luck @lyssarooney!!  

I'm 6 dpiui.  No symptoms, temps look good except for a dip yesterday (implantation obviously).

Well, I'm 9DPO and trying to gut it out until Friday before I test. I may give in and test tomorrow or Wednesday, even though I know I shouldn't. This has been my first cycle temping (and 11th month trying) and I feel good and happy that we timed things well. I want it so badly this month. Wish me strength!

Tomerine

I'm a little over a week past o (I didn't temp this month, so I can't be sure exactly when I O'd).  No symptoms, though I feel like I have to pee a lot, but I'm not about to start reading into that.  I'm hoping things work out this month, but we've gotten some news re: DH's health that could be impacting TTC.  It's both scary and sad and anxiety producing.  But one day (and doctor's appointment) at a time.  

Good luck to everyone!

lyssaroony

Sorry to hear that @Tomerine! Praying for you and DH! I understand not wanting to read anything into symptoms. I have to stop myself from frantically googling any and every little twinge, etc. (Which I did when I got the pinchy feeling today lol)

Tomerine

Thank you @thistle8677 and @lyssaroony. This year has been real BS and I keep thinking getting pregnant would be a nice way to turn it around. But... life. Sigh. (

emsmama15

Sorry to hear about your husband @Tomerine.  I hope everything turns out okay..

ladeuce13

Ugh @Tomerine .... Sorry to hear about your DH's health challenge. I'm with you on a tough year and wanting a BFP to turn it around ... Hang in there!

jennOK

Hoping things turn around and you get some good news soon.

dolphin012

@Tomerine sorry to hear about your H. Hope things turn around for you.

Hope thing get better for you.

I am in the TWW towards the tail end, should test but I think I will just wait and see.  Trying not to stress.  Should know by Sunday, that is cd 28.  I am usually 27-29 days.

just bidding time reading your past posts helps.

Tomerine

Thanks again, everyone. Hoping to see some BFPs from all of you. I think that would cheer me up!

BulgariHeart

Sorry to hear about your husband @Tomerine. I, too, hope things turn around soon for you both!! Hugs!

I'm 14dpo today and no AF in sight. Tomorrow we fly back home so if the witch doesn't show up midair I'm going to test for the first time once I get home! I hope she doesn't show up for good!!!! Keep me in your thought ladies!

On a positive note, my acupuncturist's goal was to lengthen my LP from 12 to 14 days, so I guess we can consider the mission accomplished. She'll be glad to hear this when I meet her on Friday.

BFP vibes to all!!

happyktmom

@Tomerine, prayers for DH's health. 
And positive thoughts for BFP's this week!!

lyssaroony

Just wanted to check in with the TWW'ers. How is everyone feeling and dealing with the waiting game?

@Tomerine, how are you hanging in there?

Hi all. Jumping in if that's okay. I'm only 2DPIUI and it already feels like it is going so slow. I start crinone tonight so any symptoms from here on out will be attributed to the progesterone. My beta is 9/8-the Tuesday after Labor Day. Seems like it's so far away...

emsmama15

I'm a mess right now.  I'm so emotional ... and irrational.  I started crying today for no real reason .. at work no less.  I'm sweating like a pig and I've been nauseous the last two mornings.  Seriously, I know the progesterone is a wicked *itch, but I've never been quite this bad.  I need Beta Monday to be here ASAP so I can either find out I'm pregnant and not crazy or stop the progesterone and become normal again...

thistle8677

@emsmama15 >:D<

lyssaroony

@kmetcalfe77 fx and prayers for the beta! And that the waiting will not be torture for you!

@emsmama15 hugs and prayers for the beta!

Goldsgirl9

@emsmama15 fingers crossed for you!

Tomerine

@emsmama15 I've got my hopes way up for you- for a happy beta day, and that it comes FAST! And hugs for the hormone-crazies.

Well, I'm out. AF appeared 2 days early this morning. I was trying to prepare myself for this, in light of our recent news, but the small part of me that's not yet completely jaded was still cheerleading in the corners of my brain. Feeling completely hopeless at this point.

Hopes and prayers for everyone else... Good luck!

BulgariHeart

@emsmama15 Beta Monday will be here in no time!!

@Tomerine I'm so sorry AF showed up Don't give up hope!

16dpo here. No AF and no BFP.... I don't know what to think.... I'll test again on Sunday if AF is a no show. That would mean a 28 day cycle with an 18 day LP... so weird!! 

I'm so done with this torture. Ugh.

ladeuce13

@emsmama15 fingers crossed for a speedy weekend and a good beta Monday!

@Tomerine sending you big hugs.

@BulgariHeart hoping you get your BFP!

I'm cd30, 13 DPO and AF is due tomorrow. I've had 2 BFNs this week and was really hoping that maybe I just implanted late ... But temp dropped a bit more this morning so I'm expecting AF to show up today or tomorrow. Bummed.

jilligan14

@emsmama15 - I'm thinking of you every day and REALLY hoping this is your time!!

@Tomerine - So sorry to hear this. Sending you lots of warm hugs.

@BulgariHeart - fingers crossed for you!!

Good luck everyone!! Can't wait to see some more BFP's soon!!

carrieandr

I'm pretty sure I'm 8DPO and my temps are acting weird this month. Not cool. And I don't have any symptoms.

Could somebody please tell me how many more months I'll have to wait before I get pregnant? I would really like to know that. Thanks.

thistle8677

AF has arrived for me. :-q

Tomerine

@thistle8677 Boooooooo! Join me in a glass of wine? :-??

lyssaroony

Double booooooooo!!!! What a witch.....

emsmama15

@thistle8677 -- BOOOO is right.  I'm sorry!

jilligan14

@thistle8677 - Ugh! What a bummer. So sorry.

BulgariHeart

The bitch is here.
I kept my appointment for a Maya massage and will go see a Naturopath as I think it's time to get a saliva test to see what my hormones are doing.
TTC isn't good for my emotional health. Three cycles in and I feel completely drained.

lyssaroony

So sorry @BulgariHeart! It is definitely a tiring process in every way. Prayers and hugs!

thistle8677

@BulgariHeart I'm gonna do the massage too. I had the saliva test done probably 7-8 years ago, maybe I should do that too. I'm sorry for how hard this is. Xo

Tomerine

@BulgariHeart I'm sorry. It's a really draining process, for sure.

emsmama15

@BulgariHeart, I'm sorry.  I was just telling someone how awful this process was.  The best description I could come up with was that it's broken my spirit.  I just hope I can get back to normal one day.  I hope you can too...

How did you guys find a practitioner for the Mayan massage?  @thistle8677

BulgariHeart

Thanks ladies, your support helps a lot! At least I can be please with the fact that I got a 16 day LP this cycle. At least something seems to be going right.

@emsmama15, I found the Maya massage therapist I'm seeing through a simple google search, and then realized that she practices where I go for acupuncture/TCM. They said the first appointment will be 120 minutes... I'm not a massage-y type of person so I guess a 120 minute massage is going to completely knock me out LOL. I wonder what she'll do for that long...

thistle8677

@emsmama15 I first heard about it probably 8 or 9 years ago from a pg woman who has suffered recurrent mc followed by trouble conceiving. Meeting her always stuck with me, even though I never thought I would be TTC again.
I did a Google search and found several practitioners. I'm gonna call one right now.
It's time.
Do you think you're gonna try it too?

BulgariHeart

Just 'cause it's always good to look for the bright side, I'll say that my big issue lately has been the annoying headache I would get on CD1. Well, today my jet lagged, sleep deprived, angry, AF-ridden self has NO headache!!! Victory!  \:D/

thistle8677

@BulgariHeart you're awesome. Xo
