March TWW

Let's hope we get some BFPs and sticky babies this month!

Thanks for creating this. Currently 10DPO. Am so tempted to test but trying really hard to hold out. Seen enough negatives already Good luck to all of us this month!

I triggered on Thursday with one,  possibly two follicles and a great triple-striped lining of 9 mm. Embryo transfer scheduled for Wednesday the 7th with beta on the 17th. FX this transfer does the trick. 

coco2787

Yesterday at 9DPO I got a vvvfl on a FRER within the test window (like, so faint I needed my phone flashlight to even really see it and wasn’t convinced it was anything more than an indent) and today at 10 DPO I got a faint line (still a squinter) on FRER and wondfo with FMU.  Oddly enough the FRER line wasn’t really any darker than the wondfo.  With my MMC I had a pretty clear line at 9DPO so I’m pretty worried I’m gearing up for another early loss since the progression so far is looking the same as it was with my CP.  If there are still lines on Monday I’ll go for a beta but not feeling too good about this.

@coco2787 I thought I saw a faint line on one test last month and it was so disheartening! I will keep my fx for you though!

I'm now 12 dpo and still bfn's. And then this morning there was just the slightest bit of spotting. I'm pretty sure I'm out and AF should be on her way. My heart goes to you women who've been trying for months/years. This is only my second AF since MC and I feel so broken. This whole experience is just exhausting and depressing.

@tosh24 GL keep us updated!
@coco2787 FX the lines darken for you!
@kikimi83 sorry about the BFN. Treat yourself today. This process sucks.

AFM 12 DPO and a temp drop this morning. Looking like I'm out as well. *side eyes uterus*

I think I'm going to jump in here now.

I'm currently 9 dpo in my first cycle after my MC (I think...no crosshairs on FF, probably because I started temping kind of late during AF).  I'm going to avoid testing for as long as I possibly can and am also pretending I'm not symptom spotting all over the place.  Quick question...my EWCM this cycle was a little pinkish.  Has anyone else experienced this the first month after a loss?

My fingers are crossed for you @coco2787!
Good luck @tosh24!

@coco2787 Oh lady, I'm sorry the lines are looking so light yet again. I have absolutely everything crossed for you. 
@tosh24 Good luck with the transfer! I so hope this is it for you. 
I have my fingers crossed for everyone else this month too! Let's hope March is a great month.

I'm sticking myself here now although I'm not sure I'm even going to O this month.  It's CD15 and I've been getting + OPKs for two days, and I was expecting a temp spike this morning but it didn't happen.  Feeling really frustrated.  H has been great, but I'm not sure I can convince him to BD today for the fifth day in a row.  This is the first cycle after D&C and I know it's likely to be out of whack, but I'm feeling the pressure of every month that goes by.  I'm doing stupid math, like...this would be the last month to conceive and deliver before I turn 41.  Ugh.

@tosh24 Fingers crossed for your transfer on Wednesday!  It's sounding positive
@coco2787 Fingers crossed that your lines get darker.  
@kikimi83 Sorry about the bfns.  I agree, this is an exhausting and very tough process.

coco2787

Line is slightly darker this morning.  Not enough to give me any real confidence, but better than lighter I suppose.  There's actually color on the wondfo which didn't really ever happen with my CP so I'm very very cautiously optimistic.  It seems like my body implants anything and everything though so I'm hoping this is a healthy embaby.  I don't remember who it was that mentioned it on here about super fertility and increased miscarriage, but I'm starting to think that applies to me.  The article about the study if anyone is curious  https://www.bbc.com/news/health-19361432

@tosh24 Good luck w/ transfer!
@coco2787 FX for darkening lines!
@kikimi83 sorry for BFNs
@Kath525 sorry about the temp drop 

AFM, I’m 4 DPO and Just sitting here tapping my fingers 

lin0442

My fingers are crossed for you both, @tosh24 and @coco2787 !

AF is on her 4th day late (1st cycle after last month’s CP), BFN last night since I had to take a migraine pill and wanted to make sure. Just come already, af, I have to keep my hysteroscopy appointment later this month agh...

tosh24

Thanks,  ladies!  I appreciate all the good wishes

@coco2787 Glad the line was darker this morning. Hoping you just caught the BFP super early and this is your THB. 

@lin0442 Ugh, sorry for the late AF. That's frustrating when you know it's a BFN and you just want to move forward. I get a bad migraine before AF shows every month so hopefully your migraine was a sign that she's around the corner. 

cassafrass15

@tosh24 GL! Hope this is your take-home! Keep us posted.

@coco2787 Ahhh! So cautiously excited for you. FX the lines keep darkening. Will you get a beta this week?

@Mack2342 I’m twiddling my fingers over here, too. This process makes me feel so impatient.

@lin0442 My AF was late by several days after my last CP, as well. And I had to keep testing and torturing myself because I had to take migraine meds, too! Hope she shows her ugly face soon.

AFM, I had IUI on Friday so we’re 2dpiui and I’m already BSC. I had the worst O pains I’ve ever had on Friday right before the IUI. I seriously couldn’t believe how painful it was. RE said that means we had good timing!

Also, short rant, at our staff meeting last week one of my co-workers announced a “bracket” challenge to name his FIFTH child. And this is right after I had a heart-to-heart with him about possibly needing IVF to have just ONE child. Luckily, my other co-workers were disgusted by the suggestion on my behalf and everyone is refusing to participate, or is participating and suggesting the most ridiculous names ever. I know it’s childish, but it felt really good to have my co-workers back me up like that!

coco2787

@cassafrass15 FX this iui did the trick!  That’s so obnoxious about your coworker, I’m glad people gave him a hard time about it.  I’ll probably go for a beta on Tuesday if I’m still getting positives at that point.  

@tosh24 I hope this FET equals a BFP for you!  Will be thinking of you on Wednesday.  

Mack2342

@cassafrass15 glad IUI went well. FX it works!  Coworker sounds obnoxious. Who does that anyway?  Very insensitive 

Mack2342

So I have a double whammy coming up.  My first loss would be one next week and right after that date is anniversary of my 2nd loss.  Sucks and I think it will make this TWW even harder 

Kath525

Yikes @Mack2342 my first loss anniversary is this month as well. Milestones are really hard. I hope you end up with a reason to celebrate at the end of this 2ww.

Mack2342

Thanks @Kath525

cassafrass15 Ugh... that's awful. It's like "I have so many children I don't even know how to name them!" Gross. I'd suggest something absolutely heinous. 

kikimi83

Spotting was nothing more than that....a spot. And now my temperature's shot back up. Trying so hard not to get my hopes back up after seeing spotting and having a big cry. I ran out of tests so I'm waiting for my Amazon order or AF. Whichever comes first.  

tosh24

@kikimi83 I hope that's a good sign! I had the tiniest bit of spotting around the time AF was supposed to show with my DS and just assumed it would start any minute. But then it stopped and I took an HPT a day or two later and it was +ve. FX!

kikimi83

@tosh24 I hope you're right! There have been far too many highs and lows I'm not sure how much more my heart can take! GL with your transfer this week!!

Mack2342

@kikimi83 FX it’s a good sign 

@kath525 I just realized I only said thanks to you on the EDD and anniversary and forgot to mention something about your anniversary.  This journey really sucks.  I hope you find some peace this month to help with approaching anniversary.  FX we have reason to celebrate again! 

Kath525

@Mack2342 haha i want offended. But yes i hope so too!
@kikimi83 I've got all things crossed for you!

I’m here now.  TWW while avoiding.... more like a two week wait to starting a new cycle that will be my first medicated one.  Eeeep.  My PCOS symptoms are raging in some ways - my skin is in a total teenage state right now and messing with my confidence... but a day 17 O isn’t bad for me.  Should put my next cycle at the 20th I’m hoping, because then my day 12 u/s at least will be on a Saturday and I relish any chance to not have to take time off of work!

@cassafrass15 and @tosh24 FK on your IUI and FET!  And @coco2787 I hope those tests keep darkening!  Lots to catch up on over here!  Exciting!

Over here now. Didn't have great timing this month which I'm kind of ok with. I'll be at the in-laws for a week when I'm supposed to start AF so if I ended up with a BFP while there with them, I'm not so sure I could handle the stress of those first few days. They don't know we are trying and they certainly dont know of our losses. I'm sure if they knew they would blame me.

kikimi83

Looks like I'm out. Pretty sure AF is trying to start. Mad at the world today. Looking forward to a big glass of wine after work..... Thanks for all of your support the last couple of weeks and GL to all of you! Be back soon. 

coco2787

Lines haven’t been getting much darker and today’s line looked lighter to me.  Trying to get scheduled for betas this afternoon but I’m starting to lose hope that this is going to work out.  

Mack2342

Sorry @kikimi83

FX @coco2787 I hope you get good results 

cassafrass15

@kikimi83 I’m sorry! Hang in there and remember to breathe.

@coco2787 I’m sorry the lines are darkening, but I am still hoping for you. Keep us posted.

@Mack2342 How are you holding up in the TWW? I’m 4dpiui and already tempted to go on a google-spree like a maniac.

Mack2342

@cassafrass15 so far I’m hanging in there.  I’m pretty sure by Friday I’ll be POAS.  Today is 7 DPO.  I’m usually good until 9 DPO.  I have a bunch of wondfos and one FRER. This is the week I truly hate. So many emotions in the 2nd week for me and Sunday is anniversary date of what should have been a first birthday and few days later is anniversary of 2nd loss.  So that’s adding to my emotions as if it’s a BFP then it’s around same time and very close to what would have been an EDD. 

ccvslp

Welp... I’m 30 today.  Hanging out on the bench in the TWW for first medicated cycle.  It would be really great if I could respond to the meds well and end up with a late birthday present/Christmas gift for 2018.  

Mack2342

@ccvslp happy birthday!! Oh to be 30 again! FX you get your Christmas gift for 2018!!!!

etnyah

Happy birthday @ccvslp! Round number for a round belly? Let’s hope so! 

I go here now, pretty sure I O’d yesterday. Our timing wasn’t great, so I’m not hopeful, but I’ve whined about that enough in other threads.

Today I would have been 12 weeks with my first pregnancy, and I’m seeing my dad for the first time since last year next week. I remember being so excited about planning to tell him he’d have his first grandchild soon. Oh well, hopefully it won’t happen too far into the future!

bakerstreetboys

@ccvslp Happy birthday!  Fx this is your lucky year and you get the best gift ever! 

coco2787

First beta was 16.  I know the second number is more important but I don't think there's much hope of this working out 

Mack2342

Oh I’m sorry @coco2787 FX there’s still hope 

lin0442

*lurking from WTO*
@ccvslp Happy birthday!!

@coco2787 FX for you. I’m sorry you’ve had it so rough lately

ccvslp

Thanks @lin0442 @bakerstreetboys @Mack2342... @grebretso I stinkin love that!

ccvslp

@coco2787 So sorry to hear this. ☹️
