in TTC after 35
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!
Please let us get some BFPs - and no more drive-bys!! WTH?!!

12/2015: IVF #1 transferred two great looking embryos - BFP!
First ultrasound: TWO beautiful little heartbeats!!
Harmony: negative; level 2: babies look great and are boy/girl! 
Re: TWW post (week of 10/5 - 10/11)
I am 7dpiui today. Symptom today was heart burn. Definitely made me suspicious because it's not a typical issue for me--but it's gone away so I'm chalking it up to something I must have ate.
I'm having typical cramping from the progesterone suppositories and that's about it.
Beta scheduled for next Monday but I have to push it to Tuesday because of an early work meeting. Planning to take a hpt on Saturday at 12dpiui.
Hoping we all get our BFPs this cycle!!
I'm 3dpo today according to FF. I have no symptoms of anything. My low back is very sore, but I don't think that's connected to TTC.

Good luck ladies! Fx for everyone [-O<
Ps. Not sure what the drive-by are about...
I agree with @1inthehopper, it's nice we don't have drama here.
I've been extremely tired lately like I fell asleep on the couch around 2:30 on Saturday. But I'm up early during the week and have a 4 year old so could just be I'm exhausted. Lots of heartburn lately but who knows. Unless I have a positive HPT I'm not looking into anything as a symptom.

@agriffin92013 - fx for you that there is a sneaky BFP on it's way. If not, then I hope next time is IT!
I'm curious about the herbs you're drinking? Is it to help regulate cycles?
@Sporty1216 thank you for the nice wishes. Chocolate would be good...the one with hazelnut in it

DX: PCOS, First IUI: 10/01/2015, BFN
I haven't had a chance to check in here yet but i am 7-8dpo and in my TWW! This is our 3rd cycle trying and i am feeling some serious symptom spotting that feels alot like when i was pregnant before, I lost that pregnancy at 8 weeks. I am feeling dull cramping, crazy full breasts but craziest of all.... *tmi*.... my nipples are staying hard all the time which happened when i was pregnant before. I feel like this cycle could be the one, but i dont feel like i should get too excited. I guess i just have to wait and see! Wishing everyone in the TWW best of luck!
We are going to try one more IUI and then take a break. I've been doing medicated cycles since May and want to give my body a break. I'm glad to have a plan but this sucks.

BFP 2/19/15 • MMC found at 9 wks • D&E at 11 wks (age 36)
BFP 8/29/15 • CP (age 37)
TTC#2 since May 2017
BFP 10/18/17 • MMC found at 8 wks • Misoprostal at 10.5 wks (age 39)
BFP 2/16/18 • CP (age 39)

BFP 5/07/18 • MMC found at 10.5 wks • D&E at 11.5 wks • Testing showed it was a girl with Trisomy 22. (age 39/40)
9/5/18 Diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (4-5 follicles, one ovary had none and was very atrophied)
RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.
BFP 9/24/18 • CP (age 40)
So the good news is, I think I broke my addiction to peeing on sticks! I really think I'll manage waiting for tomorrow.
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
