TTC after 35

TWW anyone?

I had my IUI this past Saturday and am now in the much dreaded TWW. Anyone else?

Re: TWW anyone?

  • Yes,  I am 11 days post trigger and 9.5 days post O and have been trying to test out my trigger.  It is driving me nuts.  Plus I am on endometrium which is making my boobs so sore.  I have to keep reminding myself that is a symptom of the meds and not a sign.

  • It's hard. I wonder with any new/odd feeling if this is the month. Hard not to think of anything else
  • 10dpo... not feeling much of anything  Best wishes for us all!
  • What types of things do you ladies do to try keep your minds occupied during the TWW?  I started arm knitting, lol.  I also like to redo furniture and repurpose.
  • 7 dpo here.  The wait is agonizing.

  • Hang here and read a lot; it helps but when the crazy gets too big I stalk my chart and/or other's, the chart gallery on fertility friend... Then I slowly back away.
  • @clgsquared- that is funny!

    @b0710 - that's a great idea!

    I'm not familiar with the "chart" everyone talks about - what is it?  Maybe I don't want to know:-)

    @dream2be3  yes you want to know, if you care about timing intercourse well.  FertilityFriend pronto dear... Read through the tutorials, get a bbt start temping, note your secondary signs... Best wishes!

    edit: ok, nevermind I see you're with RE doing IUI... don't imagine you need charting if you are WELL monitored as I hope
  • @kelley72 - yes, I am well monitored, but thank you for the info! 
  • I'm in my tww, currently 6dp5dt I think I'm going to poas tomorrow morning. I can't with the guessing game & symptoms.. You see me now you don't. Wish me luck.
  • Good luck tomorrow @shadiddynyc!

  • Right there with you! I'm 6dpiui and no signs. Thought I felt a twinge today and was like "Is that implantation?!" and then promptly laughed at myself. Can't wait to poas. Sending you good luck!
  • @omnivorette - I find I laugh at myself a lot for some of the craziness that goes through my head :))
  • 7 dpo

  • I feel like every cycle I have some new symptom that crops up that makes me think it might have worked. I know I shouldn't Google it, but can't help it sometimes. Not sure if it's the Letrozole or the Prometrium but, man, I have been hormonal lately....and I am honestly pretty even keeled. I cried at a Will Ferrell movie last week. I don't cry. It's like being trapped in someone else's body. Thank goodness my husband understands it's the pills and the anticipation, not me!
  • I know what you mean @auntiemissy76!  I am a moody person to begin with and all the meds I take have made me super moody - mostly cranky, lol.  My DH is also very understanding and he does his best to try make me laugh and to get me to not be so crabby.
  • AF should show her evil unwanted ass tmow. Good luck to you ladies
  • 10 dpo today.

    Oh, the Googling and the phantom symptoms and the reading into things.... so glad I'm not the only one! That's why this board is so helpful for me.

    I too had some pinching in my lower abdomen yesterday and the day before. Of course, that could also be a symptom of all the Christmas cookies I've been eating. And today my temp climbed up to 98.7, which got me a little excited.

    I'm not testing for at least a couple more days. Last cycle I tested too soon and felt silly.

    Good luck, everyone!

  • I don't test or chart as my clinic does US and blood every day that I go in, and monitors everything closely. The less I focus on it at home, the better for me. That 2WW is when all my crazy comes out, though, and I keep having strange things happen during that time. Cramps that kinda flutter/crawl across my abdomen (not the usual lower back pain or gut punch cramps), heartburn (never get heartburn except really bad for two days), mouth tasted like pennies for  day, fatigue more than normal, etc. Pretty much any symptom you could randomly have will be attributed to pregnancy if you google it, though....so DON'T do it! lol
  • In the TWW. First cycle on Clomid. Threw my O date off, so I'm currently 3dpo according to FF, positive OPK was on CD15, today is CD20. I google a lot of info during the TWW but I drove myself and DH crazy a while ago and refused to obsess over symptoms. When it's close to AF due date, I may test. I hope everyone has a lucky month!!!

  • I'm now 9dpIUI....do most people get a false positive with ovidrel? My RE said not to test early because the ovidrel would likely give a false positive....I tested early just to see but not even a faint positive line. Is that odd? I usually don't even bother unless I'm 2 days late, which is rare.
  • I'm in my TWW, triggered on Friday, ovulation somewhere between Saturday and Sunday judging from the pain. Yikes! So 2-3 DPO. Trying to stay busy so I don't dwell on it! THis is my second cycle with Ovidrel @dream2be3‌, but last cycle I tested out my trigger because I was curious how long it would take and mine was gone by 7 days after the trigger. I'm planning to take a test again on Friday to see if it's negative by then again. That way I'll know if I get a positive, it's real. :)

  • 1-2 Days DPO.....I hate 2WW.  I want to know STAT!

  • "Symptoms" in quotes is so right @MagFranklin13‌ . It's so hard not to let yourself overanalyze every little thing in tww!

  • My current symptom is my breast aren't tingly and itchy after O like they have been for the past 6 months.  That is really something isn't it. HA!

  • 13 dpo. I am testing tomorrow! One day, I am sure I'm pregnant. The next, I'm sure AF is on her way. Trying to think about other things. With the holidays, it's a little easier.... so much to do!

    Good luck, ladies! I'm hoping for an August baby boom. :)

  • I'm such a dummy.... I just logged into FF and realized that I am 14 DPO (not 13). Can't believe I lost track. So, yeah, definitely testing tomorrow.
