Hi everyone! This is a two week wait post for anyone who is in or soon will be in the TWW. Tell us your symptoms (no matter how crazy they may be!), how many DPO you are, and when/if you'll test. Good luck everyone!

Re: TWW post (week of 8/10 - 8/16)
I'm cd12 today and just got my first flashing smiley. I'm feeling...sexually driven :>
I told SO to get ready for another marathon.
I didn't temp this month, so relying on opk's and cm.
Really looking forward to seeing if this is our month. I'm feeling balanced and hopeful. ;;)
I am cd21, 6 dpo. FF changed O date on me! I've never had that happen!! I guess it was because I had a higher temp, so it took that one.
My temps this cycle have been crazy high for me, so I'm hopeful. However, we did only get one successful BD in at O-2 which FF says 'GOOD'. I will test on 8/16 - If I can wait that long!

BFP 8/26/2016
And oh how I love/hate ff...changing O dates and then rating our sex life... [-X
I'm on TWW but don't know which day. I am not opening FF until AF shows or 8/26 whichever comes first. I am getting tempted to open the app to see what day I o'd and when my TWW is over but I refuse. I am sticking to my guns on this. It's definitely less stressful not having to count the days until I test.
My whole plan of waiting to POAS until the end of month and not being obsessed has been vetoed by my OB. I need to take an anti inflammatory for my knee (sprained tendon) and because I'm in my TWW I cannot take it without taking a pregnancy test first. Ugh.
Guess I'll be opening up FF today after all. :-w

spotting today on CD23. For having PCOS, my cycles are usually much more cooperative than this! GRRRRR

Even though, I knew it probably wasn't our month, the disappointment was still there.
I wish I could say I gulped down a bottle of wine last night, but I wasn't even feeling like doing that. I start my cleanse next week and new healthy eating, so I'm looking forward to getting my body right first. I should've started with that!

What kind of cleanse are you planning?
I'm on day 3 of ketogenic. I decided I needed to up my game with managing my health with food. Good luck to you xo

Tested again this morning at 10dpo with first response digital and test is saying error. I have one more so I will be testing later today I suppose. ~X(
@jennOK I'm sorry
@Goldsgirl9 that's very hopeful! Fingers crossed for you (but also so much empathy for the error. I hate that!!!)
The positive this far is that I have had no spotting. Last two losses I had spotting on and off before BFP. Gonna call OB tomorrow and see what he wants to do. Not sure if he'll want to test betas right away or wait until I am a little further along. Usually he sees patients immediately with 48 follow up but with my losses and I don't know what he'll want to do.
NTNP since 11/12, actively trying since 8/14
11/15: Letrozole, Ovidrel, TI = BFP!!!
Beta #1(14dpo)=349, Beta #2(18dpo)=2,805
12/17/15: Got to see the heartbeat (105bpm)!
1/25/16: NT scan = normal (HB=163bpm)
EDD: 8/10/16
8/8/16: Baby boy born @ 12:25am, 8lbs, 20.5 inches
5/18/17: BFP!!! (11dpo)
Beta #1(12dpo)=176.4, Beta #2(15dpo)=607.1
I'm 10 DPO, terrible cramping and some, shall we say "unsavory" like CM today (see my separate post if you're brave).
@thistle8677 I almost lost it at FF rating our sex lives! LMFAO!
