Trouble TTC

2WW How is going for you?

Hey girls,

I know a bunch of us are in the dreaded 2WW, and I just wanted to see how everyone is doing in it so far.

For me, we are officially 7 days into it, just 7 more until the BETA! I am on the Progesterone Suppositories daily, which aren't that bad, however, probably are playing into some of my "symptoms". I have been crampy, and absolutely moody (although, having the dreaded in-laws here for 4 days doesn't help!) On day 6, I had a pulling/squeezing cramp for about 15 minutes on my left side, where my 2 mature follicles were. Other than that, the sore BB's have gone away too. Working in my classroom has absolutely helped, and I am trying to stay as busy as possible. 

How are you guys doing? FX for us all! Happy Thursday, and pray I get through this 4 days of bitching, moaning, and complaining from my MIL!

Re: 2WW How is going for you?

  • I have not had any symptoms, so I am feeling like this 2ww is a bust. But, I always feel like its a roller coaster of emotions. Good luck to you.

    I'm 4dpiui and having slight cramps and lots of dreams at night. Progesterone blood test tomorrow and beta test next Friday. Too early to tell anything and busy at work, so as long as things at home go smoothly I think I'll be content. I'm trying to ignore the hope/no hope issue.

    ETA: Oh yeah, and moody, which basically means I overreact to everything.

    Moving on to IVF. (Why we're moving on to IVF)

    IVF#1 (w/ICSI): BCP 9/9-9/23. Gonal-F, Ganirelix, Low-dose HCG (antagonist protocol). 41R/35M/32F... 2 transferred on 10/14, 14 frosties! On cabergoline to help avoid OHSS. BFN, possibly because of 90% drop in estrogen and progesterone a few days after ET.

  • I'm 16 DPO today.  I had a BFN on Tuesday (14 DPO), so I'm just waiting for my period to start.  This is my "normal" cycle in a while because I actually ovulated.  Not sure how long to expect for my LP.
  • I'm CD21 and pretty sure I'm 6DPO. Some intermittent cramping but no other symptoms....just waiting....ugh.. 

    Me: 31, PCOS

    2nd round of P4 to induce AF. Metformin 2,000mg daily x2months - no change.

    Medicated cycle #1 Femara 2.5mg x 5 days + Novarel = BFN.

    Benched to redo labs, trying new meds. Starting Clomid next cycle. 

    Some people just need a high-five...in the face...with a chair.

  • I'm 7DPIUI and had gas and bloating at 4DPIUI, but nothing since. Probably a bust but sure hoping it isn't.

  • I'm 8 DPO in my first actual 2ww EVER!  This is officially the first time I ovulated in the year since I've been off the pill. I give you ladies props for dealing with this every month, I feel like a complete psycho.  I've already taken like 10 tests, some to test out the trigger, and some just because I seem to like peeing on things.  
    Me: 28 DH: 30 Married 3 years
    Stopped BC 7/13 Officially TTC 9/13
    First RE appt 3/28 Dx- non-IR PCOS
    No response from Clomid 50mg or Femara 5mg
    Clomid 100mg- BFP! Beta #1 15 DPO 169, Beta #2 17 DPO 340
    EDD: 4/15/15



  • I started my 2WW yesterday, thought I was going on to IUI #2, but US and blood work showed I probably ovulated a day or 2 before my US. Good thing hubby and I BDed twice before O. Not too hopeful this cycle will turn into a BFP. Maybe the reverse psychology will work and me not caring that much this cycle will give us good news! :)
    Me: 37 DH: 37, married since Sept. 2013. "actively" TTC for a total of 13 months (after 7 months of TTC, took a 1 1/2 year hiatus due to work scheduling and wedding planning. Started up again after our wedding in Sept.) First evaluation by an RE November 2013

    HSG-normal
    OH-tiny polyp found, but RE assured me she doesn't think it's contributing to infertility and doesn't recommend me to remove it because it's so small.
    DH's SA-normal
    Hormones all within normal levels
    Ovarian Reserve-RE says "is great" she's not concerned about my egg quantity (which I was until I saw her and results came back good!) 

    04/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    06/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    11/2013 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger=BFN (prescribed by RE, monitored with US (2 dominant follicles) and baseline bloodwork done)
    01/2014 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger-(prescribed by RE, monitored with US-1 dominant follicle)=BFN
    06/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger (prescribed by RE, monitored with US-2 dominant follicles), IUI #1 on 7/3/14=BFN
    07/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, benched for IUI#2 this cycle, because I ovulated on my own before my follicular US. Progesterone suppositories=BFN Diagnosed with PCOS this month too. Testosterone levels high at 76. =( 
    08/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger with 19mm follicle. IUI#2 on 8/31 cancelled last minute due to family emergency. 
    09/2014 Taking a 3 month break starting this month. If not pregnant in 3 months, will start up again with medicated cycles and IUIs. Had all my labs and AFC re-evaluated this month also. RE says nothing much has changed since my eval last November, okay for me to take a little break. =) 




  • Hi! Good luck to everyone! I think I'll be joining you in the 2ww finally! Triggered today. I'm pretty excited too only because @KimL725‌ and @triathlete23‌ I am in my first 2ww in a long time! Haven't O'd since November! Even if I don't get a bfp I will be happy that I at least O'd! FX for you!

  • @DarcyHermione & @TiffW2012 - Sorry about the BFNs!  GL on the next cycle.

    I am 5dpiui and actually doing okay.  I haven't been focusing so much on trying to find symptoms and I've been reading a really interesting book.  Plus, I've had lots of homework this week so I have been way busy!

  • I am 11 dpiui. I have had cramps and been super gassy/bloated feeling on and off for the last few days. My skin has been an absolute mess, but all of this is pretty much the same as last month. I have been pretty emotional and cranky too. I tested 10 dpiui and today and got two nice BFNs. I like to torture myself. AF will probably come tomorrow or Sunday.

    Follow up SA numbers are: Count= 4 million, Motility= 40%, Morphology= 1%

    Hubby is due this Times it.
    Hubby always sure...
    I'm going a bit crazy with the symptoms from the progesterone. (Just like the other ladies mentioned)
    Mask Creatures: [with increasing intensity] Mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy.
    The Doctor: Go to your room.
    [mask creatures stop]
    The Doctor: Go to your room! I mean it. I am very, very angry with you. I'm very, very cross. Go... To... Your... Room!
    [mask creatures turn and go back to their beds]
    The Doctor: [sighing] I'm really glad that worked. Those would have been terrible last words.

  • We are at 10dpIUI and am going slightly insane. We go in for our BETA on Thursday, and I am not testing before. Symptoms are on and off, however, I am sure it is Progesterone related. Fingers crossed for BFP's for all of us!

    10dpo and BFN. I'm most sad/emotional the first time I test and see the BFN. After the disappointment sinks in, I just wait for AF so I can get on with my life and go to the next cycle. 

    BTW, it does feel like a cruel joke that post-ovulation progesterone symptoms are exactly like pregnancy symptoms. As someone who ovulates regularly every month, I can't tell you HOW MANY times I've gotten my hopes up. For some reason, every single month, I still let myself think "maybe this month?" :(

    Sorry this is so negative. It's just that day for me. Like I said, I'll be better later this week when AF comes.
