***July Two Week Wait!!***

SnobunnieMel

For those that uphold the "drink til it's pink" view, how many drinks is ok? I know mom and baby don't share a blood supply for several weeks but what it the general consensus? I am dpo8 and enjoying a beverage or 2 for DHs birthday. When should I be wary? It's Vegas after all. 

roxgibbons

@SnobunnieMel my rule is generally if it's a special occasion 1 or 2 drinks would be fine. Have a great time

Stalking in from wto but sending ❤️ To @roxgibbons so sorry for your frustrations hope this little vacay gives you rest so that you can continue on in the process of you choose. So sorry
as for the drinking @SnobunnieMel I say yes. I started off on the journey super cautious and after a this stress Ive been indulging during tww. I think its keeping me sane!! Good luck to all in here and I hope to join this thread soon ( ovulation issues)

roxgibbons

Thanks @KarenBeth714 it's been an emotional couple of days. DH took this IUI fail the hardest and we're just both sad. Yesterday we had a nice long day out and enjoyed the beautiful weather. it was exactly what we both needed and we're starting to feel better. Hope you O soon! 

lilylover27

@roxgibbons very sorry it didn't happen this cycle glad you were both able to enjoy the day yesterday. 

Offically back to WTO as AF reared her ugly head this morning. Been a bit of a difficult weekend in top of that. FX for everyone still in the testing stage!

@roxgibbons so sorry about the betas. 

roxgibbons

@lilylover27 we're cycle twins! AF showed up for me this morning too. 

Thanks @roper2617. It was rough but starting to feel better

I'm going to move over here because one more temp tomorrow should give me my crosshairs. Back to the crazy train my brain puts me on after O every month 

SoonToBeMommaHowe

I'm also moving over here @Taggarab! Finally got CHs on cd33!! Currently sitting at 4dpo! 

Aera11

I'm back from a little social media hiatus and officially in the tww at 9dpo! No bsc yet but lots of mixed emotions about this cycle.

SnobunnieMel

For anyone else that has taken progesterone suppositories, I expect symptoms that mimic pregnancy ones, but when did those start for you? I have been on them almost a week with crazy dreams and frequent ruination since the first day. Out of nowhere now I have crazy sore boobs today and not sure if it's from the meds. I am trying to avoid SS and blaming the progesterone would make that so much easier. 

BornReady

@SnobunnieMel I didn't have many symptoms from the progesterone (endomestrium inserts) aside from frequent urination and increased emotional response right from the start. I also had an increase in CM about 7-10 days in which really put me over the crazy edge.  On the IF board people have much more pronounced "pregnancy" symptoms than I did in response to this. I generally have very little side effects from any medications so I'm not the best person to judge off of. 

SnobunnieMel

@BornReady I haven't either other than the urination so this is starting to tip my very mellow 10 days I've been having so far

@lilylover27 @roxgibbons I'm sorry that it didn't work out this month. Hope you ladies are holding up ok. FX for both of you this new cycle. 

@SnobunnieMel I know we've talked about this before, but YES, my body is definitely feeling things I don't normally experience, probably due to the progesterone. The constant vivid dreams are the most glaring, but starting at 9 DPO my breasts also became sore, which usually never happens. I'm using progesterone cream, so it's surprising that only a dime-sized dollop twice a day can have such an effect. I got a BFN at 10 DPO, and today I'm 13 DPO with high temps still. AF is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, but I'll test again Wednesday (15 DPO) if she doesn't show.

@SnobunnieMel I had scary vivid dreams when I was taking progesterone. Like so vivid I would yell in my sleep. Also crazy acne. Other than that I don't remember any other crazy symptoms.

Congraduatltions to those who got their BFP!!!

I just began the two week wait, and already feel the urge to symptom spot! Of course I had to look up my EDD, then plan how I would tell my family according!! Gracious this is a vicious cycle.

brooklyngirl18

pretty sure i'm out. i tested this afternoon at 11dpo and bfn. I'm actually a tiny bit relieved because i was having some hardcore ovary/tube area pains yesterday and a few days earlier in the week and was freaking the fuck out that i was having another ectopic so i'll gladly take a bfn over that concern. i'll hang around til af shows. 

edit- bfn, not bfp.

Taggarab

@brooklyngirl18 Sorry about the BFN, but I know what you mean about a negative being better than another ectopic. 

I got my crosshairs today so 3DPO. Cue crazy lady week

mylittleversailles

@roxgibbons I'm sorry to come back and read this news. I hope your cycle off meds is restorative and what comes next seems easier after the break.

Sorry for all other bfns.

@Aera11 I'm glad to see you around. FX for this cycle.  

KyCade3013

I'm finally 3 DPO, got my cross hairs today. I keep comparing to my pregnancy cycle. My temps were high at 3 DPO and they were not today. I'm probably out, frustrating. FF said with my timing again this cycle chances were good but not for me I guess. It also pisses me off filtering FF for age & timing- all it tells me is people in their early 30's conceive immediately or it takes them over a year. There's a hugeeee disparity that causes the "7 month average". It's more like a bar bell distribution curve where people either concieve immediately or it takes over a year. Sorry- super frustrated today. It's likely because I'm stressed as hell and my awful job I can't quit.

***TW***

I got a BFP today at 15 DPO! A nice dark line that showed up immediately. This was after my BFN at 10 DPO, and both tests were FRER. Hopefully this gives hope to you early testers out there. 

My temps have been going up, and my chart looks triphasic. I hadn't wanted to get my hopes up, but I've been experiencing intense vivid dreams, and at 9 DPO my breasts started to feel sore and tingly. I told myself that it was probably the progesterone cream I had started using. 

DH and I are excited and nervous, but hopeful. I want to sincerely thank all of you on this board. I wasn't as active here as many of you, but I've been lurking and reading almost every post since my MC in February. Whether you know it or not, you've helped me immensely through this journey. I fully intend to continue lurking here because I can't wait to see you all get the good news you deserve. Rooting so hard for you guys!

congrats @shae86

I guess I belong here now. Took a wondfo at about 10:45 am and it was positive. According to FF and P tracker today should be the beginning of my FW and it's only CD 16 for me and I have never Oed this early before. I guess I'm going to keep testing the next couple days and see what happens. Thanks body for confusing me yet again and forever keeping me on the edge of my seat

Congrats @shae86 ! Best wishes! Yay!

I think I'm going to tentatively come over here, too. There's a chance that if I did ovulate, I could be around 8dpo. Whatever the case, I don't think ovulation is in my FUTURE this cycle, so it either didn't happen or it did...thus, TWW lol

Congrats @shae86!

@Aera11 @SoonToBeMommaHowe @SnobunnieMel @Amdogger82 @roxgibbons @fivetimesnoluck @Wishilivedinflorida @dubcompanion @yolandamunoz @Spartanrd4 @rainbowturtles thank you all so much. Your kind words and well wishes mean the world to me, as did your advice and support leading up to today. Looks like I'll be joining some of you in the closed grad group.

Well my temps are a little back to normal now. Our dog peed all over the bed and so the comforter was gone for a week and we had fleece blankets instead. Like an idiot I didn't think about that being the cause of my lower than normal temps

I hope we keep seeing more BFPs around here. It has been a real boost to my spirits!
