TTC After a Loss

One more thought about this 2ww....

Since it has been, what, 5-6 months since we've tried, I forgot the torture of wanting to test early. Even though I see you guys anxious to test all the time, completely forgot how hard it is NOT to do so. I'm not going to, it's way too early, but holy crap, the nagging. Ridiculous.

Re: One more thought about this 2ww....

  • It is! Hang in there and resist the urge!! Lol I can def empathize with you; I didn't even chart this month and the not knowing if it's even a possibility is killing me. I'm so temped to do a 'what-the-hell' test tomorrow.

  • Exactly...like I said in my last post, we didn't "try hard" this cycle...we really only had sex a couple of times during my "fertile period" (I know, only takes once). So, I'd be shocked if it was positive. But, it's that what if? And ah, what the hell? It's madness, I tell ya.
  • Having a 25 pack of wondfos has not helped me to resist my urge to not test. So, I haven't and get disappointed everytime I see a BFN. But I can't help it, it's like I have to do it. I did one day like right around O just "for the hell of it" because I had so many. My justification was to see what a BFN clearly looks like in that batch. Pure craziness.

    4 Losses (2003, 2008, Apr 2012, & Oct 2012)
    All RPL and IF testing with multiple REs = normal

    5 IUIs = BFN

  • I haven't tried since my last BFP in January, and the 2ww is actually easier than I'd remembered--until today. I'm 7DPO, and I'm wishing I could just go to sleep until Wednesday or so, when I can justifiably start testing. Hang in there!
    It was a rough road, but Arlo Daniel was born April 1, 2013—and our second rainbow is due October 12, 2014.
  • Just try to remember, knowing one day sooner is not going to make you any more or any less pg.  The only thing that is affected is the test itself.  Testing too early just wastes test strips, while testing late still tells you what you want to know.

    I know it's hard, be patient.

    Right there with ya Smash. Im just 3 DPO and already calculating how early I can test. This is my 1st month trying since Feb., and I am excited and scared. Any idea how many DPO you are?

    Same here...1st month trying since Feb, and I'm about 4 DPO...so we are pretty much on the same schedule! Truth be told, as I kinda said up top, I almost thought of this month as a practice month (even though I don't "need" practice). I'm just really scared :( As I've said a hundred times. But, as you have all reminded me, I have to keep moving forward, and I know this. 

    Good luck this cycle....all of you!

  • yeah, with my first two pregnancies I didn't chart so when I entered my first true 2ww it was maddening. GL and I hope the time flies by for you!
    DS1: 8/3/10, DD1: 8/17/13, DD2: 8/13/15

  • I am a shameless early tester.  Wondfos are my best friend, and since they're so cheap, I don't feel bad about it.   I fall in the camp that would rather have a gradual let down via BFNs than wait for AF and have a meltdown.

    Also, 2 of my CPs were BFPs around 12-14dpo, but turned BFN again before making it to my beta.  I know there are a lot of people who would rather not know, but considering my history, I feel like I need to know.  It makes a difference in how I am pursuing treatment.

    Just rocking the boat with my Pro-Peestick stance.  It's a personal decision, and dammit it is hard for me to even wait until 12dpo!  (I usually cave around 10...)
    PAIF/SAIF, PGAL/PAL welcome.
