2ww Check-In

Country Girl in the City · November 2010

This is my first 2ww and I did not know that it would be this stressful. I get nauseous around 10 am every day. I have a weird feeling in my stomach, like butterflies with a sharp pain under my ribs. I have a stuffy nose and a headache. My breasts hurt so much that my bra even hurts my nipples and they are so heavy. I got implants about 3 years ago and I feel like they are in a different place than they were before. I am very moody and cry for crazy reasons. I am 10 dpo and will test tomorrow morning.

I am thankful that I am in the 2ww. It has taken me 11 years to get to this point. I am thankful that I have a husband that has stuck by me through all of this. My health problems have put him through so much and I am so grateful that he used this experience to make the world a better place and stuck by me.

No phantom symptoms - too early for that yet.

Phantom EDD - August 13, 2011

Not testing until next week sometime...

I am thankful for my husband, family, friends, ladies of the Bump, Clomid, and my job!

12dpo for me...feeling crabby and just blah...so I am sure AF is on her way. Wishing now that I charted this cycle..def gonna start though.

I am so weak when it comes to testing...lol I will basically be testing daily until AF is here. Seeing the BFNs help me adjust to the fact its not gonna happen this time, and keeps me from getting too excited with each day.

I still have back pains...sides of my boobs are sore (nothing too bad though)...slight indigestion....weird dreams (including sexual ones...woot!!), Was having what felt like o cramping but it has stopped for the most part.

I am most thankful for my amazing husband!

I LOVE your dogs!! We have so many cute bulldog owners on this board!

Whitbell · November 2010

Yesterday I was no DPO, today I am 4. Maybe because they are saying I O'd on a sleep deprived day? I had killer cramps yesterday so who knows. I was just excited to get crosshairs because I wasn't impressed with my temps.

No symptoms yet, just dull cramping which seems to be around the clock. It isn't unusual for me to have it after O though.

If I was to get my BFP this month, my due date based on Ovulation would be that of DD. That would be kind of funny. It is also my FIL's birthday.

gammage20 · November 2010

My partner and I are trying to conceive via anonymous donor (c'mon donor #4355!). I am on CD 30, O'd on the 14th, so today is 10 dpo. Phantom symptoms: had stretchy pully cramps 5-6 dpo (hoping they were implantation cramps), I think my boobs are bigger. BUT I am getting the kinds of cramps I get for AF today, and AF arrives anywhere between day 29 and 35, so I am in the window of TOTAL INSANITY/UNCERTAINTY. I keep trying to remind myself that it isn't over until it's over. Had a chemical pregnancy last cycle (I was out five days after getting three BFPs - it SUCKED), so I am trying not to test until December 1, but I don't know if I can hold out that long. Phantom due date: August 6 (which will be our 5th wedding anniversary)!

JuneButterfly85 · November 2010

I am 5 dpo. Phantom symptoms are sore breasts and I STILL have O cramping (I know its not O cramping, but thats how it feels) My CM is starting to dry up, which normally I have lots of creamy until the day I get AF.

My EDD is 8/12/11. Which would be awesome because that is the anniversary of the day Dh and I met. I don't really believe in signs...but I think that MUST be one lol.

EasaMae · November 2010

I am in the 2WW, but I tested yesterday and got a BFN. Still have high temps, but am scared to test again... I can't stand getting a negative result. Every time I go to the bathroom, I'm scared AF will show up.

It is so nervewracking!

MrsH05 · November 2010

11 dpo, another little temp drop this morning, i might test tomorrow depending on what my temp does. no symptoms

I am most thankful for my family!

happy thanksgiving ladies, good luck to those testing soon!

Lovehavinggirls · November 2010

I just got my ch's today and am 3 DPO. My Phantom EDD is 8/14 which is 6 days before our anniversary. I have no phantom symptoms yet and I am planning on testing 12-4 we have a party to go to that night and I will be at 12dpo.

I am thankful for my DH. He is very supportive of me and is always there when I need him.

jb2rn · November 2010

I am 10 DPO. My longest LP since I have been charting as been 11 days.

So, I will test tomorrow if I don't get my period.

I am still having intermittant brown tinged creamy CM so who knows. I also had a wave of nausea the other night and again this morning. But that could be what I ate or my PNV. Who knows?

good luck, ladies!

meganruns · November 2010

I'm 8 dpo today, and feeling ok. I'm trying to hold off testing until AF's late, so it'll be at least Monday when I test. That would give me a 13 day LP which is longer than last month's 11 day 11. Weird that it was different.

Anywho, phantom symptoms: nothing too crazy. A bit of mild cramping and some random nausea.

Phantom EDD: August 6. here's hoping for a late summer baby!

This year, I'm thankful for the chance to conceive. It's a tough journey, yes, but I'm happy to finally be at a stage in my life where I can bring a baby into the world!

lilmrsT86 · November 2010

Ok so as I am not temping yet I dont know Exactly when I Od but I should be about 7dpo right now due to the O pain I was having.

Phantoms-nausea,fatigue,cramping,and a couple others. PHANTOM edd would be Aug 10..I dont know when Im going to test really. It gets me so down everytime I look at one with just one line so......

I am sooooo thankful for my family and my DH who supports all my craziness. Hope all of you ladies have a safe and Happy Turkey Day and get all of you BFPs!

wannabemommy30:
3 dpo here so no symptoms. My phantom due date is August 14th. I am not testing this time unless I am late.

I am right there with you, my due date would be aug. 13 But I am not sure when or if I even ovulated so if I miss AF then I will test. Last chance for me for a year

I had a slight temp drop this morning, so I was disappointed and upset, thinking AF might come. Then I just went to the bathroom and had some spotting. I am pretty sure AF will be here today or tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to me..
Sorry to be a debbie downer. I am just really upset right now.
Oh no!
I thought for sure you'd get your BFP this cycle. I'm sorry.
I am just waiting for my temp drop. My CM is now non-existent, so I am sure AF will rear it's ugly head in about a week.

I really hope she does not come! I'm hoping you get your BFP this cycle

NDGOIRISH · November 2010

The only symptoms I'm having are sore boobies. My CM is pretty much normal - not dry, not slippery - just normal I guess.

I'm worried my semi-sore boobies are a sign of AF....only 7 more days to find out. Ugh!!!

NDGOIRISH · November 2010

In your opinions, do you think boobie tenderness is a BFN sign if you usually have it before AF?

I have 7 days left to test and I'm feeling very psyched-out.

bfernz · November 2010

I should be at 7dpo today. I've been charting a bit better the last few days and DH has been reminding me before I jump out of bed in the morning:)

I've been feeling weird twinges the past couple of days in low abdomen and a little back soreness but I may have been over doing it with exercise.

Phantom Due Date : 8/10/11-Which would be a few days after our 1 year anniversary-that would be nice.

I'm thinking about testing on Sunday-CD 27, dpo 11- my LP has been about 14 days.

StephK · November 2010

I officially entered the 2WW on Sunday. I'm attempting to continue to temp while visiting relatives for Thanksgiving. So far, so good. I'm trying not to get too excited by my high temps this cycle,

Temping could be a challenge. MH took the side of the bed closest to the nightstand in the guest room. This morning he handed it too me without trouble, but then my dog knocked it on the floor. I washed it off, but ugh.

I won't test until Monday at the earliest. Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon!

SkyBee · November 2010

13 DPO!!!!! Yay!!!! AF hasn't showed up yet......thank heavens!

katiesue55419 · November 2010

CD 12 here and really wrestling with whether or not to test tomorrow. AF usually comes 13 or 14DPO, and I don't know if I'll be able to concentrate on cooking or conversing with anyone if I don't test, so we'll see...

As far as phantom symptoms go, my boobs hurt like hell, my nips are on fire, I'm constantly hungry and I've had some dizziness. All these symptoms are either normal for me or they can be explained away. However, starting last night I've had these really wierd crampy feelings low in my abdomen. They feel really stretchy- like there's a rubber band suddenly being pulled taut. Normally, my cramps pre- and with AF are more of the knotting, nausea inducing variety. My lower back also started hurting so bad last night that it woke me up. Trying to talk myself out of hoping that it means anything.

My phantom due date is Aug. 5, which would be kinda cool since my Bday is the 11th and DH's is the 13th. I'd be okay with a baby as a birthday gift As far as what I'm thankful for, its MH, no question. He's the kindest, funniest, most honest person I know, my best friend and the only man who's ever measured up to my father and my brothers. Oh yeah, and he can cook like a mofo!

GL to everyone and happy Thanksgiving! Now, I've got pies to bake...
