Re: TWW post (11/23)

  • Let's get some Turkey Day BFPs this week (or regular old BFPs for our friends outside the US).  I can't wait to join you all in a couple weeks!  I feel like I haven't had a true TWW for months!!

  • Today should be o day according to clearblue digital advanced. Managed BD at -3 and -1, and plan to cover our bases with +1 too. Feeling hopeful, despite myself. ;) I just can't help but hope/feel that this could be our cycle! Glad for the fact that Thanksgiving will serve as a good distraction during the wait.
  • I'm at CD20 and 4dpo. Temp finally rose significantly this am so I either O'd way past the usual time frame for using the trigger shot or I had a super slow rise (with a big fall back yesterday). This whole process brings out my worst obsessions as I keep trying to make sense of my chart but I think I need to just resign to the fact that the meds are going to make things a bit wonky.

    I'm planning on testing on Dec 3, which will be 14dpo. Let's hope I can stay strong and make it until then.

    Fingers crossed we get some BFPs soon!!!

    11 dpo.  BFN on FRER yesterday and today.  Bloating and gurgling since O day.  Headaches all weekend.  Yesterday and today, cramping and pressure in pelvic area and bottom like AF but it is not due until Thanksgiving.  I never get cramps until day of.  Feel weird and frustrated and just want an answer. 

    Edit to add:  Last night at around midnight, wiped to find pink discharge.  Today a little more brown.  I never start spotting until right before AF.  I should have maybe started with darker discharge on Wed and AF due Thurs.  I tested this morning and BFN.  Is 11/12dpo too late for IB?  I'm never early, my cycle has been 27 days maybe 28 consistently.  I guess if no full on AF on Thurs, I will test again.  Agh  this is stressful

    @sporty1216here we are cycle twins again! :) Today should be O day for me too.

    Not testing until Dec 7 if af doesn't show. If she's gonna show she'll show before then. Praying she stays away.

  • @sinnet! That's fun that we are cycle twins again. Here's hoping we both get good news this time! Come on babies! My trusty little app says AF is due on 12/7 for me, so that's the earliest I will test too. Though if AF doesn't show, I'll try to make myself wait a few days at least. With LO, I somehow managed to make myself wait a week after AF didn't show before I tested. I really don't know how I did that and doubt I'll make it that long again. :)
  • My TWW should wrap up soon. I'm CD 28 and two weeks past O and IUI. Still figuring out what my normal cycle symptoms are like since I had polyps removed in September. Before that I had 28 day cycles, but would spot during the last week so it was pretty clear that AF would show up. Last month I was 5 days late so maybe AF won't show on time tomorrow. I've also heard that Clomid can make it late. This cycle I've had sore boobs since 2 dpiui and some twinges/cramping since a few days after that. Had some brown cm at the beginning of the weekend, but no spotting yet. Nothing feels out of the ordinary.  Very glad I tested on Saturday. Now I have no test in the house and I'm just assuming I'm not pg rather than wondering. DH was not happy that I tested without him. He wanted me to only test if AF was several days late and for us to do it together.

  • I'm jumping right into this 2WW post now because no AF.  Everybody seems SOOO Close!  Fingers crossed!

    I am CD30 - 13 dpo. My cycles have NEVER been this long!  FF has changed my O date 4 times now because of temps and maybe because of the OPK's I swore I'd never use again.  I gave in and took another IC and got a BFFN.  I've had pulling sensations everytime I sit up or go from sitting to standing.  Not too many cramps but my boobs have been super sore for 4 days.  My sense of smell is also on high alert.

    My heart tells me AF is coming and my cycle is jacked up because of the Femara and the fact that I haven't been taking care of myself.   I'm considering benching next month to get myself together.

  • I'm 13 dpo and AF is due tomorrow... This cycle we did clomid, the HCG shot and timed intercourse. Had a few good follies, one was 21mm. Progesterone was good at 35. Betas will be done Tuesday. I broke down a poas today, BFN with FMU. Driving to the inlaws in a few hours (8 hours away) and I can't express how excited I am to possibly start AF and have to hide my heartbreak from everyone. Again. This is month 15 ttc #1 and it's getting really old. Trying to stay positive because I have so much to do to get ready that I literally have no time to be upset right now. Praying that no one asks why we don't have kids yet because I really might lose my composure. Or they could ask the "why don't you just adopt" question. I would love to. Wanna loan me 30k? Ugh lol!  All of you are in my thoughts during your tww. Oh and Happy black Friday shopping :)
    I am 35 to DH for almost two years. Actively ttc #1 since October 2014. Charting, Clomid, HCH shots, Timed Intercourse.
    DH SA looks great, my numbers look great... trying B6, Zinc, Vitamin C, you name it. Avid reader of TCOYF, FF junkie. Trying to keep the faith once cycle at a time.
