Checking in a bit late here as I've been MIA this week. I'm somewhere between 5 and 7DPO. This cycle was super wonky and reminded me of my first cycle off BC because both cycles I had over 48 hours worth of very positive OPKs. FF said I am 7DPO, but if you judge when my temp went above coverline, I'm 5DPO. Either way, I'm here. I'm surprisingly laid back so far in this TWW, but chances are I'll start going crazy sometime soon.

Ah.. half my response was missing... I agree it's not news to us! We're all in this for the same reason so it's great to see some BFPs around here. My fingers are crossed for you.
Also, I go here now. I'm CD 19, 2 or 3 days post O. I had a positive OPK Monday night and we've been BDing ALOT..... now I wait. I'm a little nervous about all the travel I have this next month.... I know it shouldn't effect early pregnancy (should this be by month) but I'm always worried. I have a 12 hour flight next week- then back home. Then two weeks later yet another 12 + hour flight and back. I'm a very nervous flyer and usually take drugs to calm down... I'm debating if I should take them just in case it could hurt my chances this month. Has anyone else had similar worries / have an opinion?
@jchpg have you ever taken Benadryl? When I was in a holding pattern to see if my pregnant was viable or not I had a lot of anxiety. They didn't want to give me anything in case it worked out, so my OB suggested that I take it. I guess it can calm people down and make them sleepy. It didn't really work for me but then again, none of the sleepy meds do. They have the opposite effect on me. Maybe it is something that you could try if your worried about it.
SO DH and I went to get tests for tomorrow morning. I bought the clear blue digital with 3 tests. Well he's out drinking with his school staff ( he teaches 4th at a different school but same district as me). Anywho...I was bored so I took one. I mean NOW they are in the house taunting me..... BFP
Ugh it cut me off. I'm about 5.0 weeks. Now comes the nerves. Last pregnancy my HCG levels rose but didn't double. So I'm nervous same situation. I'll relax once I see healthy digits.
@vlagrl29 yep I was/am on Clomid. I Had my left tube removed in October. Started clomid in December.Got pregnant on 50 mg in February /March.. MC in April. Didn't ovulate that month so was put on 100 mg Clomid in May and that's where I'm at.
So overall I'm on my 5th round..but we count it as 4th because I didn't ovulate in April. December, January February April and May.
@Chawk17 YAHOO! Congrats. I am so happy for you. I'm sending good vibes your way for a heathy happy pregnancy.
@MooFish2364 Benadryl is a good idea. It never usually makes me tired but I did take it a few weeks ago for an allergy and it knocked me out... maybe I've changed. I usually take lorazepam for the flight and while I've read some people stay on it for their whole pregnancy It is also classified as one you should not. I feel like my crazy fear of flying is not justification enough to take it.
well congrats lady @Chawk17 - I"m glad it worked for you! any weird side effects from it? I might be doing it in Sept cycle after I talk to my OB in August.
@vlagrl29 nope no side effects. The only thing is the routine but you get used to it. Everything is scheduled. I was constantly talking to ob. Call on cd1. Clomid 5-9, bd 10-20 EOD, labs cd21, pelvic check cd25. Test cd35 repeat as needed
I didn't track anything except cycle days. It really took the stress off.
Congrats @Chawk17! So excited to see some positive news on here!!! FX for you!!!
I'm still [surprisingly] calmly and nonchalantly waiting through this TWW (currently 7 to 9DPO), with no intent to test before Thursday evening (11-13DPO).

@jchpg most of those class of medications are the we don't know either way category where they usually tell you to take it if the benefit outweighs the potential unknown harm. Personally I have a whole host of daily medications that for me I will be staying on the entire time when hopefully I get pregnant again, so to me taking it just for a few flights seems really minimal. Benadryl could be a mice way to get some sleep on those long plane rides though!
Congrats @Chawk17! Let me know if you'd like to join us on the grad board and I'll send an invite. You can also request to join by searching for the TTCAL graduates privately group.
So this Saturday will be 2 weeks since insemination. AF is due Monday/Tuesday. Tomorrow would put me in the 6 day window for a FRER test. Trying to hold out at least until Saturday or when I miss AF but I really want to test lol. I'm nauseous and have sore boobs but I realize this is my new PMS symptom as I had this last month with a BFN so not super hopeful.
