Only thing that's not driving me crazy during this two week wait is knowing I ovulated from the opposite side of my ectopic. Ive been having weird pains/pressure in my sinus and ears that is making me think I have a sinus infection on the horizon. Are you able to take antibiotics during the tww?
@justsuzie Yes, you can even take some antibiotics while pregnant. I was put on Augmentin for a sinus infection on the day my MC started. Here is the list my OB gave me. Watch out for variations of cold medicines though, especially those with phenylephrine!!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 Thanks. Before my loss I wouldn't have even thought to obsess over this. Now, I think about everything I ingest....would this be okay if I was pg? Ugh.
Hi ladies! I'm late to the game but hope it's ok if I join you all on here. I'm currently in the TWW and I had my FET on January 17th. My beta is on Friday but I think I'll start testing tomorrow. Ive been so nervous to test because even if it's positive, I keep thinking I won't possibly make it past 7 weeks again. But I want to test before hand because I'd rather find out myself than in a VM left by the nurse. Just hard to keep positive!

BFN on FRER this morning. @laeberge3, I only tested this early so I know if I could start some ibuprofen. I know it's still a tad early but I'm a crippled old lady.... (that, and DH and I are going out tonight for our annual sushi anniversary-of-the-day-we-met dinner).
@amberruka boooooo Enjoy your annual special dinner!
I'm 2 or 3 dpo. I keep my cool every TWW until 6dpo when I feel like testing and then descend into madness until my usual spotting starts. I'm away this weekend coming up, so I hope that helps. Probably not, though.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Unfortunately, I caved and tested with a frer today at 6dpt. Negative. Feeling defeated. We have three embryos left but all are not great grading. We didn't do testing on them so same thing could happen next time. Starting to think it won't ever happen for me and something is wrong with my body

Thanks @SP128 and @TScalei I have no doubt the women on here are all amazing! After my loss last August it was the ladies on these boards that got me through the hard times and gave me hope to try again.

Sorry for the BFN @amberruka. You're not out yet! Enjoy that sushi, though.
@reneeannmm I hope this TWW goes by quickly and with little SS...okay, maybe just less SS
*** TW ***
I had the faintest positive on a wondfo last night and this morning and a positive (but faint) line on a FRER this afternoon. I called the RE about progesterone supplementation and betas because I've seen these positives before and am way too anxious to be excited for now. The thing that sucks is that I'm traveling again this week and won't be home until tomorrow night, so the earliest I can get in for betas is Wednesday. I just hope I make it to Wednesday. Please, oh please don't let this be another CP.

Thanks, ladies! You all know before H does because I don't want to tell him over the phone. I was able to get my progesterone prescription filled tonight so starting with that. I was a bit embarrassed as they faxed in the script but CVS' system was down where I went so I had to page the RE after hours (it was like 45 mins after close, so not terrible) and interrupted him at dinner. Whoops! Crossing all my fingers and all my toes!
@taggarab I'm so sorry for the loss anniversary. Hugs to you. Mine is coming up next month and I find myself reliving last year in my mind, trying to remember what I was doing on any given day. GL in the TWW!

@laeberge3 Sending so many good vibes your way! Keep us posted!
AFM, my temp rose this morning so I think I go here now. We're going skiing on Saturday and that makes me a little nervous but I don't think it's warranted given that I always work out during the TWW and skiing is really just another work out, right? I'm trying to stop putting my entire life on hold during the TWW because every time it doesn't work out I berate myself for having wasted two weeks of my life just holding my breath. But it's a Catch 22 because if it doesn't work out this month I bet that mean little voice in my head tells me it's because I went skiing...
I'm back for the dreaded hurry up and wait. I got a low on the OPK this morning after two days of solid smileys. I just started temping this month but they are all over the place as I get about 4 hrs of sleep each night and that 4 hours is interrupted sleep. I missed taking it this morning so not sure if I got a temp rise
@justsuzie. Exactly I hate this wait especially since each passing month my clock gets louder and louder as I approach 42 in May. So I'll be tapping my fingers for the next two weeks waiting. I didn't buy any HPTs intentionally when I was at the store so i can't test early. Hopefully I can refrain from going to buy them until closer to the two week mark
@justsuzie I'm gonna test when I get home Sunday night from Montreal. Can you hold out with me?
@Taggarab I'm so sorry. Mine is tomorrow and I am not doing well. Dh is home for the week, as we're just so overwhelmed with emotion and frustration and grief.
