Re: TWW post for April 11-17!!

  • Since I started the post, might as well post first! ;) 

    I'm around 4 DPO, just doing prenatals, BD every other day, and tracking my period, so not exactly sure. 

    Wont test till AF is late. Or until the day before AF comes, which is what I seem to always do! Haha. 

    We had good timing, so feeling good on that front, but I usually have obvious O pains and this month have had nothing. Unless I'm ovulating suuuuuper late. I might be too stressed out right now for O. 

    I am super happy that my SOs SA results came back and nothing major is wrong there :)

    Hey there, gl and fx for you @poemasque! Glad to hear good SA results!

    I'm on CD 32, about 15DPO.... Usually my cycles are 28-29 days, so I'm excited no sign of AF, but bummed bc already taken 3 HPT and all BFN (one seemed to be a squinter, but that was the first one and could have been the lighting or my eyes playing tricks on me). I keep going back and forth between feeling symptoms and no symptoms. My boobs feel fuller - but that's pretty typical right before AF.

    Meanwhile, I've been limiting coffee big time  (3-4+ cups daily to just one cup that is half decaf), eating healthy, exercise, prenatals and cod liver oil. I'm guessing I should have answer pretty soon - trying to hang in there and keep a positive frame of mind (whether positive or negative). Praying helps! But this TWW now turning into 3WW is really getting to me.    

  • Good luck @PoeMasque !!  Glad the SA results were good!  H had his SA this week and it looks like it might be ok, but we have to talk to the MD next week to hear what she has to say about it.  H is worried about the result of the "normal forms" and went on a major google spree, so now he's on a health kick, which I'm happy about.  

    I'm about 10 DPO.  Didn't get to BD all that much due to thinking I O later than I do, and we had O confirmed by ultrasound/blood work so it looks like I O'd earlier than I thought.  

    I have no strange symptoms to report, other than these darn cramps which I seem to get every month a week before AF.  I am hopeful but not necessarily for this particular month, just hopeful in general that we will know more when we go to the RE next week to discuss all of our results.

  • Good luck ladies,

    I'm currently at CD 25 and 11 DPO.

    I tested this morning with a dollar tree cheapie and got a BFN.

    It's early  but I'm showing signs that I normally get a few days before AF on CD 28 so I'm expecting the spotting anytime.

    Never give up though until AF truly arrives so we shall see what the next few days have in store!

    So I'm out :(  AF arrived early this a.m. (FOUR days late!). Not gonna lie, I cried. I can't remember last time AF was more than a day late, so I really started to get my hopes up even though I had multiple BFN's. Oh well maybe next month. I couldn't fall back asleep, so I helped myself to a strong cup of coffee and got some much needed laundry done. Thx for positive wishes and gl to you
  • @Lu19 - I'm so sorry!  I would be the same way as mine is never any more than a day late.  It must have really gotten your hopes up.  Sending positive vibes for this next month!!!

  • I'm 10 days post ovulation and have been spotting for 3 days. FRPT was negative so I'm probably out for the month. Just worried about why I'm having so much spotting.  AF isn't due for 4 more days. My last 2 cycles have been much shorter than usual. Wondering if it merits a trip to the doctor 
  • Lu19Lu19 member

    Thanks @poemasque, the extended wait time and then ultimate let down on CD1 sucks! On bright side feeling less hormonal now, lol

    @bayliegirl, to be on safe side, I would at least call the doctor and see if they advise you to come in, irregular spotting/bleeding could be any number of things from super minor to not-so-minor.

  • Hi ladies, I've been super MIA and haven't even had time to read up, but wanted to stop by and set hello and that I'm thinking of all of you. 
    I'm somewhere around or post ovulation, but we took a month off...kind of had to for a lot of reasons. 
    We did make an RE appt the end of May, so I'll keep you all posted. 
    Xoxo

    good luck to all of you!
