Trouble TTC

Gosh darn tww!

Well, here I am, halfway through my second tww...and feeling things I'm trying to ignore because I'm sure it is just from the progesterone suppositories. I woke up early yesterday morning (eight days after hcg trigger shot), with cramping (which has since stopped) in my lower abdomen and of course thought, "implantation cramping...?" Enough with these mind games! lol I'm trying really hard to stay neutral and calm about everything, because I know our chances are slim this cycle due to having a hostile cervical environment. I wish it hadn't been too late to go ahead with the IUI this last cycle...they had us just go ahead with the hcg trigger and TI, saying that our chances are slim, but it has been known to happen on occasion for women to get pregnant with trigger and TI even with a hostile cervical environment. Ugh! Don't want to get my hopes up, but it's so hard...

  • Awww...GL to you! I know after dealing with IF, you want to be realistic about your chances, but I think it is good to maintain some hope too. (I am giving myself this advice as well). Yes, you could be disappointed, BUT you could also be amazingly surprised. When I start thinking about the "odds", I start thinking about all of the people I know from the boards along that have beat them, and it reminds me that there is always a chance. Don't beat yourself up about having hope. I would give anything to feel that way!  Again, best of luck to you, and I really hope this is it. ((HUGS))

    I know what you mean. It's like my body is torn in two every time. My brain tells me, be realistic. But my heart can't give up hope. Like GG said, it's good to have some hope, so I say go with it. BFNs suck no matter what your attitude is leading up to it. Hang in there!

  • I agree that the 2ww sucks big time, but it is totally healthy to have some hope!  at least you know the symptoms are from the progesterone.

    good luck!
