@cassafrass15 Such good news! FX for you. Good luck to all you other ladies waiting for AF to show or not, too! (Hoping for lots more BFPs on this board this month!)
I never sign in to The Bump until I’m like 4 days away from AF and just get anxious. So I decided to join you all. Changed my SN today, too, not that anyone is keeping track. This month was a total loss since we went camping over my fertile window (although I could have sworn I ovulated early), but BDing in a popup with family in the next campsite was not on my bucket list, so we decided to take a break this month. Of course, despite telling myself it would be near impossible, I’m still finding myself wondering and agonizing in these days before AF. I didn’t temp and refuse to test unless I have a very good reason, but I’m betting I’ll cave tomorrow or something. I also celebrated my birthday this month, so that was nice. And renovating our kitchen is taking up a ton of our time. Here’s hoping we can start trying again next month! Although it was glorious to not be temping all month so maybe I’ll take a break this summer and just use OPKs to see when I need to start the progesterone. Or maybe I’ll just take a break completely for a bit. I guess I have a couple days to figure out what to do next time around!
Hey @prpl11butterfly How are you hanging in for the tww? Ugh, these ads are killing me. We just had a long weekend here, so I didn't really log in, but now that I'm back to work, it's bump time! 5DPO and feeling...nothing. I start my estradiol patches tomorrow and then assuming I get a CD1, I'll start injections! I swing back and forth on thinking that IVF will work. I'm with those ladies who are feeling bitchy. H likes to be positive and say "well, we'll just do another round", but that doesn't really help!
I hate the adds too. I'm not digging this TWW at all. Started feeling odd around 2dpo. Not quite crampy but uncomfortable in the uterus area. Today I'm 6dpo and it's feeling more cramp like but also kind of gas like.... Such a head trip.
Hey @prpl11butterfly and @bakerstreetboys ugh the TWW is so hard! I’ve been SS like crazy, I’m tired, boobs hurt and slightly dizzy but all that could mean AF is on the way too. I’m 8 DPO so gonna POAS Friday. I told my husband he should hide the sticks from me until then lol. He said there is no use cause I would just go buy more hahaha.
@char245 it’s so true! That’s why I love the Wondfo sticks...they’re super cheap so I don’t feel guilty using them! I’ll POAS on Sunday, which would be 10DPO. Fx crossed that those symptoms result in a BFP for you! For whatever reason, I have way worse symptoms in the tww since my second loss. I’ll add the patches tomorrow and who know how bsc those will make me! I should probably stop temping because I think that they’ll lower my bbt.
Major SS the past two days with major google searching haha. The past two days I have woken up nauseous and today I had slight cramps on the left side and a headache, but those symptoms have resolved. I'm only 7 DPO so too early to test...
You know you've lost your mind when you Google 6DPO...ya know, before anything could even have implanted let alone cause symptoms. Every. Single. Month.
@prpl11butterfly it never does. I am really going to try not to test until July 4th or 5th (according to FF AF is due on 7/4). But maybe I will POAS on Saturday or Sunday
@bakerstreetboys For sure. Google has been my BFF the past few day hahaha
Sorry couldn’t figure out how to do a spoiler. I caved and POAS this morning and got a faint BFP. I’m definitely excited but nervous! I’ve scheduled blood work with my RE for tomorrow morning. If it’s okay with you all I’d like to stick around here for a few days while I get my blood work back.
Just got my betas Back and my HCG was 20. I’ve never have betas drawn before but that seems low to me, based on Dr google it can go either way. They also forgot to check my progesterone which is infuriating but they are starting me on it tonight anyway and are going to draw for it on Monday when I go back for my next betas.
@char245 It's not so much what the actual number is (you're still super early!), it's more important that it doubles...but I'm sure you know that already! Fingers crossed that the number skyrockets for you on Monday. That is super frustrating that they forgot to check your progesterone. At least taking the supplements won't hurt either way, and you can stop them if the next test shows that you don't need them. Try to keep busy over the weekend!
AFM, 8DPO, and my only symptom is no symptoms...which makes it hard to ss! I usually have horrible pain from my endo by this point, but I'm trying not to read too much into it.
Fx for you @char245! This never ending waiting game. I'm glad they are going to let you start it even though they forgot to test. Like bakerstreetboys said, you can stop them if they find the are not needed.
char245 As the queen of low betas, I'll share some insight... 20 is low. But, you got the beta drawn at 10DPO after only a small squinter. That's not too bad. Don't count yourself out yet. Like others have said, the important thing is that it doubles by your next draw. So breathe. Remember... TODAY you are pregnant. Fingers crossed for you!

@char245 Congrats and FX extra hard that this is a sticky little one. I also wanted to add that my beta on 11dpo was only 31.5 and although I’m not out of the woods yet, so far so good.
@char245@cassafrass15 congratulations ladies!!! I'm so happy for you and I'm sending you all the good vibes I can muster. Fingers crossed that your numbers double on Monday! Hang in there, babies!
congratulation Char245 and Cassafrass15, I'm hoping you get to meet your rainbows! I'm in the dreaded TWW, the second since my daughter died. This month, we've been having sex every 2 days (my boyfriend still hasn't got his sperm tested, so I'm doing like the doctor said we would do in case of lower sperm count). I had a positive (well at least positive-ish) opk on the 22nd. I'm also on femara. hopefully this will work. I'm going crazy with the symptom spotting and googling everything and trying to analyse the cycle I got pregnant with my angel.
I couldn't help myself and POAS this morning, BFN, but I am only 10 DPO so I'll wait a couple of days and test again. I have been crazy nausea and headaches the past few days.
I could not wait till wednesday to PoaS. I have the faintest of positive. I don't know how I feel! (well I do. I feel like crying, but I don't know if it's joy or sadness)
