TScalei

@SP128 - AAAH congratulations!! I am SO happy for you!!

Mack2342

@TScalei thanks.  I'm keeping everything crossed hoping it works

@SP128 and @hdaley - I think you 2 will be due in March right?  Its a great month because spring is just beginning.  I was due with DD March 10th, was induced on March 17th and she came shortly after midnight on March 18th.

SP128

@vlagrl29  Yes.  According to my retrieval date my EDD is on March 17th.  Loooong way to go until then. 

vlagrl29

It will go so fast @SP128

hdaley

Yep, looking at either the 21st/22nd.  I get two different dates depending on calculator used.  I ovulated on CD14, that never happened before!

Congrats @SP128!!! That's fantastic news!!!

I'm over here now, myself. I think I am 3DPO. Lining better than last cycle 7.5-9.5mm.

Hi @weareturtles, I'm going to officially join you here now. What day are you?

 I'm cd 18, got my + opk Tuesday night so I'm probably a day or two past O.

Anyone else here yet? 

This is going to be an interesting TWW for me, I'm on vaccation the whole time. Trying to stay relaxed and not too anxious about testing. I'm hoping that being away from work and taking time for myself might help this cycle.

Almost positive I am around 10 days past. Just went off birth control last month. With my first I took a pregnancy test too early so I won't be testing until my missed period. 

Mack2342

I'm here.  Not sure what CD I am. I'm too lazy to switch over and look but tomorrow is a week out from insemination.  So one more week to go! 

MooFish2364

I'm here too. Somewhere around 13 DPO but not tracking. AF signs are here so the witch should arrive probably Saturday or Sunday. Happy weekend to me. 

Mack2342

@MooFish2364 that sucks.  I hope it's not so

i expect my symptoms to start Saturday or Sunday.  For the last few cycles since my last MC I get nauseous for about a week prior to AF and sore boobs nothing like faking a person out. 

jchpg

@MooFish2364 I'm hoping you still have a chance.

@Mack2342 the fake out is just not cool. Nausea and sore breasts are my new pms symptom after MC too- seriously not cool. 

MooFish2364

I hope that It's a fake out but it's probably not. I had a lot of lower back pain the last 2 nights which I was having my entire luteal phase before my endo surgery. I was really hoping that would go away after he removed the endo. I did have one period just after my surgery but I feel like this will be my first big one. Im nervous to see what it's going to be like 

Edited because my phone "thinks" it's a better speller. Lol

Mack2342

@jchpg yes the fake out is so not cool.  I was so excited to have those feeling the first cycle after MC only to learn it was just effing PMS.  Last til about CD 2 and then disappears.   NOT Nice body!  Sorry you have that too.

Hi all,

*TW* I first posted on this board at 8 dpo in our first cycle of TTC after our mid-pregnancy loss several months ago.  It took us close to a year to get pregnant the first time around, so I never expected it would be fast the second time around... but I got a very very very faint BFP at 9 dpo and a little less faint at 10 dpo, and from blood tests this week seem to be progressing well for now.  I'm 14 dpo today.

Everyone was so welcoming, and I didn't want to just disappear, but I also feel something like guilt about getting pregnant so quickly this time (even though pretty much nothing went smoothly or quickly or was stress-free in my first pregnancy).  

Of course I also realize too well that there are no guaranties.  I'm not really thinking about 9 months from now yet... just trying to be thankful for today.   

I just wanted to give you all my update.  I appreciated the community here for the few short days I interacted with you all, and I'm hoping for all of the best for you all through TTC and pregnancy (and more July BFPs for those of you currently in your TWW).

vlagrl29

congrats @eller-2 I'm glad it didn't take as long the 2nd time around.  Don't feel guilty.

vlagrl29

I just want to also say to those in the TWW once I decided not to care so much I notice zero symptoms now before AF starts.

Mack2342

Congrats @eller-2

Congratulations, @eller-2 I hope you enjoy a happy and healthy 9 months!

Thank you!

@jchpg - I'm now ~5DPO on CD22. 

@vlagrl29 - I have taken a much more "relaxed" approach to TTC - I'm just following BBT, which is easy for me to do in the mornings. I'm loving not stressing about each moment of each day. Like you, I'm also not noticing as much as a result of it.

vlagrl29

@weareturtles - It's much better IMO.  I do notice small changes in cervical mucus month to month that comes out.  I don't check it internally.  For example last cycle I was pretty dry until the fertile window.  This cycle I didn't dry up after AF stopped.  I've had quite a bit come out and I'd say it's creamy consistency.

I've also notice my sex drive increasing now that I don't keep track of such.

Congrats @hdaley and @SP128 !! Just back from my vacation and love the good news. H&H 9 months. No offense - but don't come back  

AFM - I'm a few DPO I think. Lots of vacation sex. But we may be deciding to stop trying for now. Not sure, we need to revisit - had some hard hard hard convos on vacation. our lives are in a giant state of limbo and we feel like we need some certainty somwhere, and that might come from not TTC for a bit. who knows.

My MC happened almost 7 months ago, my edd based on lmp is tomorrow while the edd the md gave me at my us is coming up on the 28th. This month just sucks, but it also brought about some serious conversations where DH and I have decided to ntnp. I'm not planning on temping or using opks, just kinda going with the flow and not using protection for now. That being said, af is due any day now and even though we've been using protection up until recently, I'm ss like crazy, wtf pumpkin, you know you're not ktfu!

vlagrl29

@pumpkin0913 - Glad you are NTNP.  I'm using a relaxed approach as well.  This month has been extra CM like every day since AF stopped.  I can't help but want to be really proactive this week but I remind myself don't be forceful about it because that has never happened in the past.

rklinge0

@pumpkin0913 glad to hear your anxiety about trying again is letting up. I charted with my first but did nothing for the miscarriage. I really don't want to use opks but I just started ttc again so if it takes a while, I may eat my words. 
I too have been like is this a symptom but have to remind myself even if I was ku, my symptoms don't show up until after the 6th week so more than likely it's af coming to visit. 

pghren

I think I'll wander over here now. O was theoretically Sunday according to the opk's

splashmountain

@vlagrl29 I think the relaxed approach is exactly what we need 

@rklinge0 I've come to the conclusion that another loss will suck no matter if it's now or a year from now so why wait? 

Mack2342

@vlagrl29 and @pumpkin0913 I would love to take a relaxed approach but since I'm 42 that is not going to happen 

vlagrl29

Oh I hear ya @Mack2342 technically at 37 I shouldn't be so relaxed but I don't really care. We can't NTNP but I do notice the fertile CM and make a mental note to get busy so to speak. I'm just over the stress of it.

@eller-2 Congratulations! 

I am CD1 today so moving over to WTO. Gl to all, I hope we have many more BFP's this month!

babybakie

Wow! congrats @hdaley and @SP128!

2ww is killing me  

Im cycle day 19, 6dpo and cramping.  Had a mmc with d&c in may and this is my first real cycle.  I don't remember cramping last time but I did have implantation bleeding at 7dpo.  I hate how crazy this is making me.  

But I'm so glad to see all the BFPs! Gives me hope.

ngolimento

Finally moseying my way over here, and it's lovely to see BFPs!

Congratulations @hdaley and @SP128!

I'm not in agreement with FF this month on my O date (I think it happened either yesterday or today), but I rarely win arguments against inanimate objects, so we are going with 3 DPO.

Hi ladies, I have incredibly mixed feelings about writing this post but didn't want to ghost from this board that has been so helpful over the past few months. 
TW*** I just received a BFP. I mc in April and was benched for May and June. We were able to start trying in July and although we BD a few times, we didn't get any in during what I calculated my FW would be based on my previous cycles before my mc. As DH was sick as a dog during my FW I was sure I'd be waiting til August to start trying. Turns out my FW is all over the freaking place right now so I must have O'd very early. Of course I'm thrilled but I'm also feeling a sense of guilt that it happened so quickly and scared as hell that this will simply end the same way my first did. I have been scared to write this as I know how hard so many of you have been trying for so long. I'm very very early 4w6d and of course I know all too well, anything can happen. I'm scared that because it happened so quickly, my body may not even be ready for it yet and may simply end in a chemical.

@40momma congratulations! And fx for healthy nine months

jchpg

@40momma congrats to you! It is so great to see so many BFPs this month it gives me hope!
