Spectacular September 2WW Thread

[momamia4]

So sorry Kelbear!

Dreamsister, I'm moving onto injectables next cycle. I'm sick of waiting. I've been ttc since Mar 2015. I've had 2 miscarriages in that time. I've also tried Clomid and my RE says Femara won't do anything for me since I don't have PCOS. I just want to have a baby! The risks are about 20% that you could have a multiples pregnancy but you could let your doc know that you don't want multiples, so maybe they'll have you trigger with fewer follicles. I personally don't mind having twins. They run in my family, so they don't really scare me. You could also try more attempts in your fertile window before moving onto injectables. Only one attempt in your fertile window will definitely drastically reduce your odds of conception. Just some things to think about. :)

[tfahn]

Congrats to everyone who got BFP's this cycle, I was taking a break from the boards this cycle but checking in occasionally to see how everyone was doing. Here is my two cents Dreamsister. :)

I would take the injectibles as even those don't give you any guarantees that you will become pregnant. I am about to turn 40 next month and have been trying for baby #2 since March 2015, I have had 1 miscarriage and 2 chemical pregnancies since starting fertility treatments in December. Clomid gave me weak ovulation and thin lining and had no BFP's while on it. I next moved onto Femara which I am told will make you ovulate if you have PCOS and if you already ovulate on your own it just boosts the amount of follicles per cycle (I do not have PCOS). 3 months ago, after 2 back to back chemicals, I started doing combo cycles of Femara, Gonfal F, trigger shot and progesterone supplements in the 2WW. So far no luck for me, although I did get 3 follicles this cycle but that doesn't mean you ovulate all 3, I will start testing tomorrow so fingers crossed this cycle works. If you really want another baby, I would try anything at this point but I am not really afraid of having twins since with my age this will be our last shot at having additional kids. (triplets on the other hand scare me :) ) Good luck in whatever you decide, hopefully Goldie the sticky egg appears soon for all of us.

[GirlieCat]

AF found me, which wasn't really disappointing since I already had my BFN. Now to move forward with what to do next. I have an ultrasound scheduled tomorrow to check for cysts and the overall health of my girlie parts. I posted some questions in another thread if anyone can help with some guidance. Thanks.

[Dreamsister]

tfan thanks for your two cents and taking time to answer my question. Wow you have also been on a long ttc-journey. I think you are right that I should try anything at this point. I think I will do the injectables (staring tomorrow night) and see what happens. I cross my fingers for you. Will you update in the 2ww October thread?

[Dreamsister]

momamia4 - thank you for your opinion and story. Good point. How exciting you are moving onto injectables. Then we can be injectable-buddies :-) When do you start? And how much will you take?

[GirlieCat]

Good luck Dreamsister. I think injectables are the way to go too. I hope it does the trick for you and we see a BFP for you in October.

[Kelbear]

AF just arrived for me too. :sad:

[Girlieplease]

So sorry af arrived for you ladies, it is suçh a frustrating time x x

[foxtrotmama]

Sorry AF came, GirlieCat and Kelbear. :(

I've been almost entirely off the wagon this week and it's making me nervous. Expecting O around Monday, and I haven't exercised all week, haven't had any fibre/coffee/alcohol, and my diet has been just ok. I think we'll do this cycle couch potato and hope for the best, I'm too invested in TTC right now to not attempt.

[Kelbear]

Don't worry too much foxtrotmama as I think it is the overall pattern of less that is what sways, hopefully a week of no exercise won't make any difference and if you have still been doing the le diet even loosely with a few cheats you won't undo all your previous effort. Good luck, hope this is your month.

[XXforhubby]

I'm so sorry that AF has found so many [emoji20]! Hang in there ladies- it will happen!

AFM- I'm still waiting to ovulate! I haven't gotten a positive opk yet. I am doing E4D plus one attempt at positive opk.

FX we see more BFPs! Is anyone still waiting to test, or do we need to start the Oct 2WW thread?

[Girlieplease]

What about omnipotent, opportunistic, optimistic or opulent? Last one is probably my favourite! X

[Katt2275]

"Outstanding" is another possibility.

[Katt2275]

I'm sorry to hear of all the bfns. I'm already approaching ovulation again, so I will be entering my second September 2ww. The first one was the last week of August, 1st week of September. Sending baby dust to everyone! :)

[Dreamsister]

I vote for Outstanding October

[GirlieCat]

Sorry Inforthree. This month really was not very Spectacular for too many. Still hopefully for those who will be testing or attempting this month.

AFM- I excited to have my ultrasound today to check my girlie parts. My first US ever and I am hoping it brings answers to some questions. One being why AF is so short. I am already just about done with AF only 30 hours after my first spotting...never been more than 48 hr (from very first spotting to all fully clear) since I got of birth control in January.

[Georgia_Peach]

I am waiting on AF still! This cycle feels like forever! It's a full moon either last night or tonight?so I should get it soon. I wish it would hurry up bc I want to begin attempting! I'm finding this waiting frustrating.

[GirlieCat]

I'm out too, couldn't wait to test any longer, bfn on frer at 12 dpo. Wish I knew what was causing my cramping and pulling pains for about a week each month prior to AF. Thought maybe the no spotting and pulling pains might have been a sign this was my month but apparently not :sad:

Kelbear, I had my ultrasound yesterday and the tech wouldn't tell me much, they send the scans to the doctor who will call me next week to go into the results in detail, but she did tell me that I definitely have cysts. I asked if they were big or small and she said medium. I can only assume that these might be the source of all you cramping too.

[foxtrotmama]

GirlieCat, at least you know the likely cause of the cramping now. Hopefully the ultrasound gives you some answers towards TTC.

[GirlieCat]

Yeah Foxtrot good or bad sometimes it is just better to know. I also had cd3 blood drawn today to do all those tests. I am eager to get all the results of blood and ultrasound next week.

[momamia4]

GirlieCat, I'm glad you're getting some answers! Sometimes they aren't always the answers we want but your doctor should be able to help once they know what's going on. :)

[GirlieCat]

Anyone else still waiting for AF or to test in September? I know a lot of ladies have moved on to October 2WW thread, but I don't want any ladies getting left behind. There is still 12 days left in September so there must be other out there. Good luck to anyone still waiting in September. We are still here to support you! Hoping we get at least one more BFP in September.

[XXforhubby]

I'm still waiting to ovulate. My opk looked almost positive this afternoon. I may test again this evening, depending if my urine is concentrated enough.

[GirlieCat]

XX are you doing 1 attempt at OPK or are you on something like e4d pattern? Hope you get a nice clear positive. I am not sure if it was the clomid, but I never got a absolute positive last cycle (just an "almost positive") and I normally do get a very clear positive.

Good luck and happy BD!

[XXforhubby]

I am doing a weird combination. It will be two attempts back to back when I get a positive opk. It's like a SMEP hybrid, because I don't think my DH would ever go for SMEP. I'm afraid if I approached him about it or tried to get us to do it, he would pull the plug on BDing unprotected.

That's interesting about your experience with Clomid. I am getting almost positives too. I'm temping so if my temp is lower tomorrow and no positive opk, I'm going to have an attempt anyway to cover my bases.

[momamia4]

I'm waiting to ovulate too. I'm not really sure when it'll happen. I have an appointment with my RE today for an ultrasound to check out my ovaries and see how many follicles I have, etc. I'm really excited!! It's in 5 hours. I really hope time passes quickly!!

Very exciting! Fingers crossed for you. I had tests last year before we went HT and my data was all good, so I'm relying on that now I'm 37!

[momamia4]

I need some advice (I'm going to post this in the Oct 2ww thread too). So I got a +opk this morning and I'm doing SMEP. The problem is that I bd the last two days in a row (got carried away with DH 😄). With SMEP, you're supposed to bd EOD until +opk. Once you get a positive, you bd for 3 days in a row, skip a day and then bd one more time. So, should I bd for the next 3 days in a row like SMEP says or should I just bd once more, or something else??

[XXforhubby]

I would BD tonight, take tomorrow night off, BD again, and then continue to BD either E3D or E4D in case O gets delayed.

Sounds logical to me as LE can really mess with your cycles.

Who is SMEP recommended for?

[momamia4]

SMEP is recommended for women ttc quickly. I've been ttc for so long that I just want to get pregnant. If you bd e3d before you get the +opk instead eod, atomic says it's fine for ttc girl. I threw caution to the wind and bd eod. I'm just ready for a baby despite gender. :)

[XXforhubby]

For those that have been TTCing for a long time and not getting pregnant, or those that don't have much time left to sway and had lowered their fertility too much swaying.

[tfahn]

I'm ok XXforhubby. Had bloodwork taken this morning to confirm another failed cycle so I can stop the progesterone supplements and await AF. Getting pretty discouraged since the infertility and the loses are really unexplained, just crappy luck and I turn 40 next month to boot. I had great numbers this month and 3 follicles but still no BFP. I was getting BFN's the last 5 days but still kinda hopeful since I had temp spikes Sunday and Monday with horrible headaches but temp was way down today so I know its another failed cycle. I'm sure I will be more encouraged in a few days when I get a new plan, I think I will see if DH will agree to do an IUI cycle this time since we haven't tried that yet.

How are you doing? Are you settled in the new house yet?

[XXforhubby]

I'm hoping and praying for you tfahn!! I know it will happen for you- I just believe it! I can't wait to hear what your new plan will be!

We have settled into our new house and cannot believe all of our stuff ever fit into our old house! My DH says no wonder I used to be neurotic, haha! We love it! There is a couple interested in our old house. We hope to sell it soon.

Okay, I looked back and I think we might still have one or two ladies waiting to get their BFP in Sept.

Honeybee are you still in the race?
Serenity I think you still have a few more days till you test right?
Anyone else?

If I looked correctly I think Sept only brought two more BFP and I am feel pretty discouraged by that. Need another BFP to keep all of us now waiting to attempt encouraged. I still holding hope we will get one more.

[XXforhubby]

I'm still waiting to attempt and so is Momamia and Weezie.

I should say we should be ovulating in the next 2-4 days.

I'm still here! I'm 7 or 8 dpo, not planning on testing until sometime next week.

I've been having lots of cramping, and a bit of breast tenderness for the last couple of days. It probably doesn't mean anything, though. I guess I will find out next week! :happy:

[momamia4]

FX Serenity!!

[GirlieCat]

Guessing those who are just about to have their attempts won't get their results till Oct. I hope all of you start out October with lots of BFP.
We need an abbreviation for the waiting to ovulate- W2O? That wait is equally anxious as the 2WW for AF, just in different ways. I am only cd6 and don't O till 18-20 so it is a long W2O for me. [emoji16] Trying to live through everyone else in the mean time. FX

[Kelbear]

GirlieCat we will likely be ovulating around the same time, I am only cd3 as AF took its good old time to come this month (15 or 16 day lp I think which is unheard of for me). I usually ovulate around cd 13 or14 so still 10 or 11 days to wait. If I O late this month I won't have any chance at an attemp as we are heading away camping (sleeping in a small tent with DS so no chance at all). Fingers crossed I can get an attempt in the night before we leave and that October brings lots of bfps. Fingers crossed it is your month GirlieCat.
Good luck to all those attempting or testing in the next few days/week.

[XXforhubby]

I like the W2O abbreviation! I managed to have an attempt before things turned sour. I had a rough night. DS3 didn't sleep well so neither did I. I feel incredibly nauseous- like I'm about to vomit. I think it's from lack of sleep. I don't know if I'm going to be able to exercise today. This too shall pass...

I have not ovulated yet. My temp is still the same as it was yesterday. I'm expecting to O sometime between today and tomorrow though. I still can't believe how early it's happening this cycle!! It's very encouraging!! :cheer::cheer::cheer:

[MrsSparkles]

Sorry i've been MIA !
Serenity hope it;s a BFP for you by the end of next week :D

XXhubby I always kind of like feeling sick...as I figure it might help sway pink lol.

I went to see a Herbalist last week, she gave me a bag of red clover blossoms and said it's like 'Natures Clomid' ...not sure about that.
I don't even care if it sways blue at this point I just want a baby.
So I am still doing LE diet, but am adding in 1 quart of Red Clover Infusion a day.

[XXforhubby]

Well I figured out I have vertigo. I've done my exercises that's helped quite a bit, but I think I may need to take Dramamine. I'm hesitant to take an antihistamine before I ovulate, but I need something to help get my equilibrium back! I may take Zyrtec instead...

Last months cycle was 20 days. Threw me way off bc I'm ALWAYS 28 day cycle.

It's strange though- I didn't get a positive opk. I'm still going to test for the next 3 days to be sure. My BFP cycle with DS3, I didn't get a positive opk then either.

I'm not testing until AF is late...I do have a lot of IC tests though...like 38, haha!!!

Sounds just like I described, no positive OPK, wonder if that was from the clomid for both of us. Good luck.

[Burakoam]

Clomid makes the ovulation tests very wonky in my opinion... To you guys that didn't get a positive OPK... Did you just use strips or did you use the clear blue digitals that would give you flashing or solid smileys? My clomid cycle the only reason I knew I was ovulating is I had just been to the doctor who said I had a big ripe egg that was gonna pop any time and way later that night my digital went to a solid smiley but I didn't get a single flashing smiley that month. And my line never got darker than the control line.

[GirlieCat]

Hi Burakoam, I only used the strips and only got an "almost positive". It never got as dark as my previous months and then after the almost positive they got lighter and lighter. I don't temp or use the clear blue. I have been able to catch a positive all the other months that I have been using the strips so I blame either the clomid or the fact that I tested later in the day due to a work event. Either way I guessed my surge was just before my almost positive since it got lighter after. I am not on clomid this cycle so I will see how different it is.

Did you take any cycles off clomid after taking it? Just wondering if I should expect things to still be wonky this cycle from left over clomid in my system. I took this cycle off because I am waiting for test results from my cd3 blood work and ultrasound.

[XXforhubby]

Thanks for sharing your experience Burakoam! I temp, thankfully, so I got a nice temp rise this morning. Had I not been temping, we may not have continued to BD E3D. It looks like I had an O-1 attempt, which I'm hoping did the trick! I'll have an attempt tonight, but I think it will be too late. I couldn't BD last night- my DH made me mad before bed, haha! Ideally, I would want to have 2 attempts back to back, since the one attempt hasn't been working. Ah, well next time I won't count on the opks!

I'm sorry to hear that we haven't gotten more bfps this month. I'm not sure what's going on with my cycle.

I was due to ovulate earlier this week, and I never got a positive opk. It looked almost positive on Monday afternoon, but then got lighter instead of darker. I was testing 3 times a day too, to make sure I wouldn't miss it. I was using the First Response brand tests. I'm thinking I should use the digital kind next month. We did BD Tuesday night, but I'm not sure what to expect since I never got a positive. Good luck to everyone else, and I'll see you over in the October thread.

I'm pregnant! Just got a faint positive at 11DPO. Hoping it sticks...:bigsmile:

Thanks Girliecat! I hope October brings us lots more BFPs. :luck:

[momamia4]

I know it's going to be way too early, but I'm going to test on Sept 28th. I'll be 7dpo and that way I'll have it out of my system so I can wait until closer to 14dpo. :)

[XXforhubby]

OMG, Momamia! We are cycle buddies!! I'll be 7dpo in the 28th too!!!

I'm not going to test until the 3rd or the 4th of Oct. though. I just don't think I'll be pregnant and want to be blissfully ignorant!

Seriously, EVERYONE is pregnant right now! I just feel like it's not my time and it's not going to happen. I'm starting to wrap my mind around my baby making days are over. Sigh.

Xxforhubby, I'm so excited that we're cycle buddies!!! :) I know what you mean about everyone being pregnant. There are tons of pregnant ladies in real life all around me. It seems like everyone and their brother is pregnant!! I am only testing that early because I need to get it out of my system. I'm definitely not expecting a bfp that early. I know it's insanely early, so I can assume that the negative is due to to that and then I can actually wait until 13 or 14dpo to test for real. Lol! I'm feeling strangely optimistic this cycle. Which only means I'll be devastated to get a bfn. I don't know why I set myself up like that. Hopefully I'll be able to reel in my emotions and get it under control before I test for real. Good luck!!! :)

[Katt2275]

Good luck XX and Momamia4!

I finally got a positive opk Friday afternoon, and we had our attempt that night, so I'm back in the 2ww again.

[Girlieplease]

Eek, exciting xxforhubby, momamia and Katt. Keeping everything crossed for you! X

[foxtrotmama]

Xx and Momamia I'll be 8dpo on the 28th! I'm trying to hold out for the 1st but who knows how that will go.

[MrsSparkles]

Awww don't say that XXhubby don't lose hope yet !

And Momamia - I am keeping everything crossed for you :D

Thank you @Serenity I hope October will be my month, I'm doing so many new things - hope one of them works lol

Hi Robin,

I went to see a herbalist, and have been told to make a Red Clover infusion (1oz of blossoms in 1 quart of boiled water, left to steep overnight) and drink 2-4 cups a day.
She's seen lots of older women (like me) get a BFP with this.
It's worth a try for me.
I've also added Cassava to my diet....the actual yams, not a supplement.
Both these things are supposedly boy friendly.
I just want a BFP, as my due date for my MC is fast approaching, and I will feel so much sadder if I am not pregnant by then.

Well we DTD again today, so on CD14 and CD18, but still no temp rise so not sure if I'm in the 2WW yet!

I'd keep going with the E4D, just in case! I've been fooled too many times with a false temp rise! I swear sometimes trying to pin ovulation while swaying is like trying to pin the tail on the donkey blind folded!

FX and GL to you!!

[foxtrotmama]

You know what I really didn't need? To wake up with stomach flu symptoms at 5dpo. I guess that's one way to keep symptom spotting to a minimum!

[momamia4]

Oh no!! I hope you feel better soon!!

Well I caved in and bought more sticks to pee on.
And I have a high fertility flashing smiley, but I am sure that can't be right, as AF arrived so late.

Wondering if it's all these herbs I have started giving a FP

Cd15 for me today.

Opk tests are s bit crazy! Been testing since cd10 and they have been getting a tiny bit darker each day I test.

Tested today expecting it to be positive, but it is much lighter again (like it was cd10!!)

Has this happened to anybody else? Do you think I may still ovulate this month? X

I think so, the month I conceived, my body geared up for ovulation day 14, usual for me, opks positive but I did not have a consistent temperature Inc. I then had a temp Inc day 18 and think I ovulated cd 19, which was a successful attempt, good luck and keeping everything crossed for you! X

Eek am excited for you, I got my highest every temp the cycle I got pregnant, it was 10 dpo and that is when I think my babies implant followed by a weak positive at cd 14. Keeping everything crossed for you, looking promising though! X

[momamia4]

Thanks so much, girleplease!!! I have to go get more tests. I only have wondfo hpts. I want to test on 7dpo even though I know it's insanely early, lol! I have to get my poas addiction in check so I can wait until a reasonable day. HA HA! What kind should I get? None of the stores here have the old style frers, only the curved ones. :/

[Kelbear]

Good luck momamia4, fingers crossed you get your bfp soon :fingers:

I have never tested early so not sure which are best. I always use first response. Xxforhubby or burakoam are bound to have some good advice on this, exciting that you will be testing soon! X

Jennypenny, This month's cycle has been off for me too. I finally got a positive opk on CD19, so it was late this month. Are you doing 1 attempt e4d or 1 attempt at positive opk?

Thanks ladies! :)

We are doing e3days this month with an attempt also at positive opk. Just wish it would turn positive now! X

[jennypenny]

Usually ovulate cd14 -cd15. Last month was Cd13.

Cycle is 28 days but usually have spotting from cd26 before it properly starts on cd28.

Yes good luck ladies. I'm on CD 21 and still no temp rise :-(

[foxtrotmama]

Momamia, what's your temp today?

[momamia4]

Foxtrotmama, it dipped down. Hopefully it's an implantation dip and it'll be back up tomorrow. I'm planning on testing tomorrow morning. FX for everyone!! Thanks Pbn!! :) http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160927/1116f917d205caee961ca7efeded8ec0.jpg

That looks great Momamia !
I am so excited for you, think this could be a great month for you :D

I DTD this morning as I got a static smiley...it's early but I just went for it anyway

[momamia4]

Why does time always slow down to a crawl when you're in the 2ww??

[GirlieCat]

Haha- I was just thinking that for you moma. I actually came back to see where you live to know when "tomorrow" will be here for you because I am excited for your test. Your tomorrow is my tomorrow too since we are both in USA so I will have to be impatiently waiting with you. (by that I mean, some ladies in other countries get to "tomorrow" when I am still finishing out "today")

So excited to see what tomorrow brings, but if it is negative it is still early so I am not calling you out and I am still very hopeful for you.

[Girlieplease]

Stalking for updates momamia, excited for tomorrow's testing, which will be tomorrow afternoon / evening time for me! X

[momamia4]

I know what you mean, GirlieCat. I wish I was somehow closer to tomorrow morning. Only 14 more hours until I test. HA HA HA! I really appreciate everyone's support :)

[foxtrotmama]

FX for your test! That looks like a decent implantation dip, well above your coverline.

[momamia4]

Thanks foxtrotmama!! I hope to see a nice rise in the morning. :)

[momamia4]

So I woke up 45 mins before my temp time. I took my temp then and went back to sleep. When I woke up again, I took my temp again. There's a huge difference between the two (97.35 and 97.73). Which one should I use? Also, bfn on hpt but it's super early, 7dpo. I'll probably retest on Oct 1st (10dpo).

[XXforhubby]

FF recommends keeping the first one. Sometimes if I've felt pretty hot after waking, I have taken the average of the two temps. Doing this has felt more accurate for me, because the earlier temp didn't reflect how warm I felt later, and the higher temp seemed a bit of a stretch. The average for you would be 97.54. Going my a temp adjuster, your temp would be 97.50 45min later, and your actual temp was 97.73. You could always mark the temp as questionable.

I'm going to use the average. Thanks, xxforhubby! :)
