March TWW

pandawares

Okay, I switched from the advanced FF setting to the OPK setting, and it says I'm 5DPO. I'm going to go with that. Very crampy and backachey for days now. Ugh.

ladipale

I'm sitting at 10 dpo and have thus far resisted all desire to test. Going to Disneyland over the weekend and not planning to test unless no AF by the time we return. 

justsuzie

@ladipale What restraint you have!  I hope you enjoy your trip.

justsuzie

6DPO and horrible dull aching cramps for the last 4 hours.  Warm bath soothed things a bit.  I feel like I have started getting cramps way sooner before AF the past few cycles since my loss.  Oddly I have NO bloating or gassiness.  I don't know if it's a fair trade off.

pandawares

@ladipale I wish I had your restraint! Since discovering that my HSA will reimburse us for home tests, I've just been peeing on ALL of the sticks.

vlagrl29

@justsuzie. It been having dull cramps off and on today which I'm assuming is ovary pain on the left side and very bloated. Maybe today was my O day.

ladipale

@pandawares - i even have some WONDFOs somewhere in the house! but I think I so don't want to face the first trimester that I'm avoiding knowing about it as long as possible... i'll be blissfuly ignorant and drinking wine and eating sushi until I'm puking in the toilet (not really, but you know). There is something to say about staying super busy... I've been so busy with work and barre instructor training that I haven't thought much about how many dpo I am.

SP128

@ladipale  Seriously, when we get preg, can we just skip the whole first semester?  It would be less stressful.  Thanks!

@justsuzie Crossing my fingers it's all a good sign

@vlagrl29 GL this cycle

hdaley

Omg I am having bad stomach pains, diarrhea, bloated and gassy!!!  What the hell body, what the hell

vlagrl29

I belong here now after a full day of ovary pains yesterday.  Which means I start the suppositories tonight.  Fingers crossed I don't get any weird side effects and feel pretty much like myself tomorrow.  Question - if we had sex tonight on +1 would it be a waste or do you think the egg might still be around.  Luckily we did BD on -1, -3 and I can't remember anything before that lol.

SP128

@vlagrl29 I would try. I usually try to get in +1 just in case 

justsuzie

@sp128 and @ladipale can I join your club. I want to skip first trimester too!!!

justsuzie

@vlagrl29 are you chill during the 2ww too?

justsuzie

@hdaley Hey cycle buddy! Are your stomach cramps low and dull or intense?

vlagrl29

Guess we'll go ahead and BD tonight just in case @SP128

@justsuzie - Yeah I'm chill.  I don't google symptoms although occasionally I might symptom spot but not anymore.  With my pregnancy in december my boobs got bigger and were sore so unless that happens I'm always going to assume I'm not pregnant.  I've recently come to terms that I have no control over this and I still want to enjoy my current life and to expect this may take awhile.  The stress of it isn't good so I let go of all that.

pandawares

@vlagrl29 I hit -3 and -1, too. IMO, even if it doesn't count, BD isn't a waste

*TW*

Ahhhhh! I got the tiniest little hair of a BFP today at 6DPO! Normally, I wouldn't test this early, but with the cramping at 1DPO and then nausea, lightheadedness, and backache the past three days, I decided it couldn't hurt.

vlagrl29

@pandawares - fx that line gets darker every day.

hdaley

@justsuzie they are high, above my belly bottom.  I'm so bloated!

justsuzie

@hdaley I am oddly not bloated.  Isn't it awesome that everything is and is not a pg symptom?   Can you hold out with @babypi and myself and not test until 12dpo?

ladipale

Super irritable today so I think AF will arrive in a day or two. A bit relieved with all I have on my plate in next couple months but also sad that I didn't just get pregnant while I (wink wink) wasn't thinking about it. 

vlagrl29

Well we got the BD in at +1.  It almost didn't happen cause we were both so tired and I don't like forcing that stuff. Once I told dh that I'll be starting my suppositories tonight as the egg will be gone tomorrow he perked up. We didn't BD nearly as much as last cycle but I didn't get pregnant then so I don't feel bad about it.

justsuzie

@ladipale I know what you mean about trying to find a good reason that not getting pg one month is a good idea. But you aren't out yet!

@vlagrl29 I wish it was all up to the BD-ing. If that were the case we'd be in great shape. 

Afm-
i think I'm out too. Had a temp drop and super moody. I have a itty bit of hope left but I'm also feeling my pms symptoms and got af cramps this am. Phooey

SP128

@justsuzie  Phooey for the temp drop.  Not out yet though!!!

@vlagrl29  GL on the suppositories.  We are not going to BD that much this cycle which makes me nervous.  Then again, like you we BD tons last cycle and still nothing.  RE said to wait for the results of SA before doing every day.  

hdaley

@justsuzie what day would 12dpo be?  I need to make sure to buy a pregnancy test!  I'll hold out.  

My stomach troubles bled are gone but I'm still bleary and gassy and I think that's what is causing my lower pelvic cramps now.  My husband is adamant I had a touch of a stomach bug. 

amberruka

Wasn't expecting anything but still BFN this morning. No bloating which is my worst symptom, so I'm happy for that. 

@vlagrl29 is the plan for you now to use the suppositories all during TWW? Just curious....

babypi

@justsuzie You're not out until AF shows! I had a huge temp drop earlier this week but my temp came back up. At 8 dpo it could be a good sign. FX your temp comes back up! 

@hdaley 12 dpo for me is Monday, my DH's birthday. Several of us seem to be synched up this month though. 

vlagrl29

@amberruka - yes I take them from day after ovulation until period comes.  I'm completely exhausted today. That could be because DD is on spring break wearing me out. I'll know tomorrow if I feel the same way. No crazy side effects yet like that pill gave me.

vlagrl29

@SP128 I can't do sex every day anymore because I get an irritated uterus with mild cramping. Eod is best for us. I personally wouldn't wait for results although you should get SA numbers back within a day.

justsuzie

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. I got a 1500 ER bill in the mail today from my ectopic in SEPTEMBER! Needless to say it was a shitty way to start my day. Hoping no symptoms are good symptoms. 

Still planning to hold out testing until Monday! 

SP128

@justsuzie that's rough!!!  Fx crossed so hard for you! 

vlagrl29

That sucks so bad @justsuzie

my appetite has increased today. I inhaled my lunch. Ugh hope it's not a side effect of P.

ladipale

@justsuzie - i hate reminders like that - so sorry. 
still sitting pretty (and busy) and 13ish dpo but expecting AF any minute. Oh well, husband will be happy we can continue the sex train

justsuzie

@ladipale "sex train" my husband has the same mentality. 

ladipale

This morning my husband mentioned my boobs are smaller which to him indicates my period is forthcoming. I'm glad he knows my body so well? 

vlagrl29

bwhahaha @ladipale - aren't DH's funny?  Mine didn't realize an egg is only out for 24 hours max and that you have only a 5 day window to fertilize it.

MimoCa

@justsuzie that bill is ridiculous. So sorry you got that

justsuzie

@MimoCa Thanks. It sucks. I still get an 87$ blood draw bill every couple of weeks. I had 23 blood draws and hey are billing each all separately. Fun reminder 23 times.

I can't even believe I am writing this, but I got a BFP this morning. I am totally numb because I was starting to work through in my head how I would feel if we were not able to get pregnant again.  I can't even say how much you ladies have helped me through my dark days. I don't think I will feel totally happy until I can get an US to confirm it's not another ectopic, but DH and I will enjoy today as it is!

justsuzie

@Taggarab. Fix for you. Try not to stress too much. I'll be rooting for you!

*lurking*

Ahhh congrats @taggarab!!
