TTC after 35

Looks like I am on to cycle #2

Huge temp drop today.  Boo.  I am pissed...what a waste of time and energy the past 10 days has been for me.  Not to mention how betrayed I feel by my body and all of its "symptoms."  ARG. 

From here forward, no temping/charting after O is confirmed by a clear and sustained thermal shift and corroborate by my CBEFM.  It's WAY too stressful for me.  Oh and no early testing.  This was my first 2WW and I just had to learn the hard way.  I am smart enough to know I only needed to do that once.  I won't even buy the HPTs until I am late.

GL to everyone who's still in the 2WW. 

P.S.  Apologies to GP ladies who've already read my rant on that board. It's nice to know that I am not alone. 

Re: Looks like I am on to cycle #2

  • I am so sorry, I thought your chart looked really good.
  • Oh cr@p! Your chart looked perfect, too.

    Isn't ttc a nuisance? Every little twinge or flicker of anything could possibly be something else, and it's so easy to get caught up in it.

    But just think - all that time spent wondering is time that will just help to make your +HPT all the more special when it does come. I hope it's soon for you!

  • Sorry about the temp drop. I've pretty much given up late cycle temping too. It is too hard to live and die by the thermometer. Though of course I did temp today. Good luck on cycle #2.
  • I'm sorry.  I think we are all with you in the frustration

    I wish I had the will power to wait to test that is why I use the dollar tree tests if it is before my AF date. 

    I hope next cycle is the one for you.

  • I'm sorry!  I didn't temp during the 2ww wait this last cycle because it makes me too crazy.  I do think the "phantom symptoms" are worst the first cycle because you are noticing all of this stuff with your body you never noticed before.  Now I ask myself if I would notice this "symptom" if I wasn't TTC and most of time I wouldn't.  That helps keep me in check too.  Well, it isn't over until AF shows up.  If she does show up, good luck next cycle.  Also, I think I saw somewhere you are going on vacation soon.  Have fun!!

  • I'm sorry.  I hope you have better luck your next cycle.

    I'm on to Cycle # 2 myself.  We're in our peak time right now, but both DH and I are sick with a cold.  We just can't seem to get anything started when we're hacking up phlegm.  And we're getting ready for a trip, so all our energy is going elsewhere.  ::sigh::  He's all ready to BD on the trip, which will be fun, except it's after O! BLAH! So, Cycle Two here we come!

  • I'm sorry.  Good Luck on cycle #2.

  • Here's to a lucky cycle #2 for you! ?BTW I was reading recently that charting should only be used to confirm o. ?Looking for a pattern or clues in your temps is a waste of time and causes unnecessary stress. ?I have to agree after many months of "perfect" charts and no pregnancy.
