Feeling about this cycle: Could go either way. We had pretty good timing, most likely O-2 and O, but it could have been O-1 and O+1 too (ran out of OPKs and wasn't temping). As each day goes on, I get hopeful, but know realistically AF could show up at any point in the next day or so. Good timing doesn't guarantee a BFP.
Phantom Symptoms: Itchy and super sore boobs, weird cramping feelings 7 and 8 dpo.
GTKY: Do you already have baby names picked out? Oh gosh yes. I have an ever growing list!
Married since 2008 | TTC #1 since 2011
2 losses: Nov '11 and Aug '12 Dx: Feb '13 - HSG shows clear tubes but minor diverticulitis; Borderline DOR; Low DHEA and low testosterone. Moving on to IUI or IVF.
3.4.13: Holy crap! Surprise natural BFP on cycle #19. EDD 11.12.13 We've got a peen.....it's a boy! Little man born 11.17.2013 via c-section
Hello Ladies - I've been lurking for a while now and figured that this would be a good way to break the ice since I'm also in the 2WW period. Thanks also to everyone for all of your good advice and information - I know when I need an answer I can come here:-) So here goes....
Cycle: 4 (1 officially with temping and 2 with charting)
DPO: 4
Testing Plans: I'm not the most patient person, but it says to wait until 18 dpo since FF doesn't have enough info yet...we shall see.
Feeling about this cycle: Good, I think we're closer than we've been. We had great timing according to FF, but I still haven't gotten a + on the opk (not even sure if I will either) but my temps confirmed O.
Phantom Symptoms: Little bit of cramps, nausea and very, very tired.
GTKY: Do you already have baby names picked out? We'll name a boy after my husband but we're all over the place on girls names, too many cute names out there.
Me: 34 DH:39
TTC Since June 2011. April 2012: Me: Diagnosed with PCOS and hypothyriodism DH: MFI, low count and motility. Clomid for 6 months while we saved for IVF - all BFN. Took month of December off to rest and get ready for IVF. IVF #1 with ICSI: Started Stimming 1/09/13, ER 1/20/13. 36 eggs retreived, 20 mature 12 fertilized with ICSI, zero with IVF. Five day transfer cancelled because of severe OHSS - hospitalized for three days. 7 Frozen Embies. FET #1: Started estrace 2/5/13 estimated transfer week of 2/18/13.
DPO: 7 I think, will find out after I post and see my siggy
Testing Plans: I love to POAS but I am going to force myself to wait untl AF is 2 days late; I was heartbroken last cycle as I was a day late and tested and got a BFN, and then AF arrived 4 hours later just to slap me in the face!
Feeling about this cycle: Optimistic, I have a new outlook on the new year, but haven't had many symptoms yet...
Phantom Symptoms: Not much, one minute I think I have sore boobs, am gassy, have sore back, cramps...and the next minute I think it's all in my head!
GTKY: Do you already have baby names picked out? Yes! DH wanted c's for boys and b's for girls as our names start with b&c, and there aren't awhole lot I like when you narrow it down that far so I still have some leftovers from when DS was born!

Testing Plans: I want to wait until Monday @ 14 DPO but I have aaalllll these tests that are calling me, maybe friday, gotta stay strong.
Feeling about this cycle: eh? if I did indeed O when FF says so then good because we had great timing
Phantom Symptoms: kinda have breast pain and some cramps, but then i think about it and think no, thats gas, or not, thats normal...or is it?...past 3 days I've been eating hot peppers and cheese slices..yum....?? ...uuhhhh bloated and gassy too....
GTKY: Do you already have baby names picked out? pretty much yes, Ella Lynn and Wesley Brian
MH's name is Wesley. Not a very common name!
I really like the name Weston too!
Warning

Testing Plans: I gave in this am, BFN. I spent the day away from the bump to clear my head a little. Then I came back on this evening and saw another bumpie with a falsely neg FRER/+ wondfo. Therefore I will wait a few days before I try again. And buy a different brand for comparison.
Feeling about this cycle: Swaying heavily between really excited/optimistic and totally forlorn/feeling bad.
Phantom Symptoms: Still queasy, acne, bloating is somewhat better, increased sense of smell
GTKY: Do you already have baby names picked out? We have options, nothing definite
TTC #1 since November 2011

DPO: I'm almost positive I've ovulated but I think I'm anywhere between 8 DPO and 1 DPO, but I could be even more than that. So should have temped this month. ::facepalm::
Testing Plans: I was planning on starting to test on the 24th but since my spotting and cramps on my right side last night and not knowing if that was my O or something else I'll probably put it off til the 27th (if I can hold out that is)
Feeling about this cycle: We pretty much covered all of my fertile window so any of the days that I could have O'd except for 2 we're covered. So I'm feeling pretty awesome about it.
Phantom Symptoms: Today I had a headache, was dizzy, lightheaded, and a little nauseous, but even if I implanted yesterday they couldn't actually be pregnancy symptoms unless I ovulated SUPER early, so I don't know what it was.
GTKY: Do you already have baby names picked out? Um heck yeah!!
