January 2WW

I hope all of you that experienced your losses take good care and heal over the next few weeks and get BFP in the next month or two.

I am also randomly in my 2ww. I had a positive Opk on day 27 of my cycle on Thursday. I can't believe I finally ovulated! First time in 10 weeks. I'm trying not to stress about catching the egg but I am. We DTD 2 days before a positive Opk (which was very unexpected) & again the night of pos opk. I really just hope it happens. I'm excited that I may not need the meds to help. But if I don't fall pregnant this time I will be taking the Femara next cycle. I know 2 times isn't the best 'girl' practice but I also really want to have a baby.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will update in a couple weeks. Best of luck gals!

GL EmileeJane! FX you caught the egg! I hope you don't need the Femara 😉!

Thanks so much XX, I've got everything crossed for you this cycle!!!

Emilee- I hope the long wait comes to an end for you this cycle and you get your BFP!

Emilee - I'm exactly the same place, 6 cycles in, wanted an early summer baby, absolutely no winter holiday baby, and now wondering if I can have one in 2015. We just have to let go and let God.

Junie - I'm so sorry for your loss. Big *hugs*!!! We waited one month but it was an early m/c at 5-1/2 weeks.

essnce - Glad you're feeling more yourself. Hurting less doesn't mean you love your angel baby any less. And this is terrible, lol, but wasn't there a girl sway technique they tried once where they put holes in the condom?

I thought about the hole in the condom method too before DH came on board ttcing #3! I didn't have to, because he decided WTH in the moment! I wouldn't hesitate to do it either- DH loves children and would view it as a "miracle"! Lol! I think he would boast about being super virile! I could hear him now- super sperm! 😆!

2boys-- I named my angel baby too. I have a feeling it was a girl since I had a kitchen sink sway. I named her Nora, which means "light." Every night I light a candle for her.

XX and Sage-- DH has never been on board with a third baby, it was all my idea and he didn't even know I was swaying. Both boys were oopsies, and if they weren't we'd probably have no kids! So baby #3 was a "planned" oopsie on my part. DH was super mad when he found out I was pregnant with #3, but was just starting to come around to the idea when I miscarried. Like the boys, I knew he would be mad for a few weeks, but then would be fine. I never imagined I'd miscarry and end up with zero chance of having a girl. All I can do is pray he leaves off the condom one day and one sperm manages to get out before he pulls out. 😟

Essnce629- If I was sure he would come around and I didn't think he would have changed his mind I would have gone to any lengths to have a third.... I hope your hubby leaves the condom off soon!

sageviolet- your chart looks great so far!

I'm still spotting! I hope it stops soon:( My worst fear is that they didn't get everything as then I would need another operation AND I wouldn't be able to TTC. I'm really hoping to get a negative test next weekend but when I read on the internet women seem to have such varied experiences and for some it takes months for their fertility to come back. I'm just so excited to start trying again and really want to get pregnant ASAP.

Junie, I am sorry you are still spotting:( it seemed like I spotted forever after my mc. I think that was one of the hardest parts. I felt like I was waiting to get my body back. It really sucks not knowing what's going on. Seeing a positive pregnancy test week after week was hard. I was really annoyed about having to get weekly blood draws to check my hcg. But it actually helped keep me feel more in tune with my body.

Has anyone seen if tarasue has ovulated yet? I haven't seen a post from here in a while. I know she was on clomid.

I know most of you are waiting to O. Hope you all catch goldie!

5dpo for me. It is funny we already have 9 birthdays in October! But I will take what I can get;)

2boys- so sorry your having such hard times. A persons patience as it is is hard to deal with when ttc, after a miscarriage there is no patience left. I keep thinking I should be in my second trimester already, not waiting to get a positive opk... The good thing is that Af lets you know where your at in your cycle so at least your not in limbo. That 1st Af after a mc was a painful beast though, glad that's over!

We have 7 birthdays in October, but i don't want to skip a month in case that is the only shot I have at getting pregnant. I bet I'll get pregnant in March, because I never wanted to have a December baby! Now, I'll take whatever month at this point!

FX to those waiting to test! It looks like though, most of us are waiting for a positive opk! I think Queen, DJmommy, SageViolet and Tarasue will be the first ones.

Ooh I am so excited for you!!!

Yes this AF was horrible-physically and emotionally but I must say I do feel better everyday that passes. It's hard to be back here tho-I get that completely. I hope you get a +OPK soon! When do you expect it?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was hoping for a positive opk this afternoon and to ovulate tomorrow or Wednesday. If I do ovulate tomorrow and do catch the egg that would put the due date exactly in my mil's birthday...... Not at all what I want, all of October is a bad time for a baby for us. I'm at the point I don't care anymore, I just want to be pregnant and have a baby before December. We waited to ttc all last summer because I didn't want to interfere with some family weddings, I got pregnant in October just like I had planned, but someone else had other plans.... Now I'm not putting it off for anything, now or never baby!!!

We dtd yesterday and I will have one more attempt with + opk, I don't care if we're doing it too much for a pink sway- I just want a baby! I feel like since I used clomid this month, it's a sure thing. Rationally thinking, yes I am crazy and setting myself up for huge disappointment if Af shows up in a couple weeks!

Grand plans! When is your MILs bday? Mines is October 22 and my ds2 missed it thankfully and arrived in the 28th. I was nervous about that!!! So I understand your concern but I am sure you know babies rarely show up on their exact due date! Good luck with the OPK. Keep us posted!

Today is my first acupuncture appointment! I am excited! 😃


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tarasue- That sounds so good, I hope this is your cycle!!
XX- I hope the acupuncture helps!

I'm so thankful to have you all!!! I can't imagine going through all of this and having no one to talk to about it. Of course DH and I talked about the miscarriage and TTC a bit, and a few friends know but it isn't the same at all as being able to chat with ladies who know just exactly how I feel. It is so helpful for me!! So thanks everyone :)

Can't wait to hear how the acupuncture goes XX!

Good Luck tarasue! Glad your doing every 4 days, I was thinking clomid makes opk's wonky:-/

I had 2 rounds of acupuncture to try to get me to ovulate and get my cycle back on track after the shot. It was really neat and oddly relaxing. Enjoy Xx!

Did it work for you EmileeJane? I found it very relaxing too!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you ladies for your support! The acupuncture went very well. It was very relaxing! I could tell it was working though- I felt sensations from the pituitary gland and within my uterus/ovaries. It is hard to explain, but it aroused me from meditating during my session. I almost called out to my practitioner, but I breathed through it instead. I definitely feel like this will steer the ship back on course, but as we know about ocean liners it can take awhile!

Good luck, Tarasue! Yes, I think most of us who have been trying for awhile feel the same way -- forget trying to plan when, let's just have a bfp!

XX, glad you liked the acupuncture! Are you having the weekly cleansing series? When I did it, I needed it every week for 3 weeks supposedly to do an overall cleansing and alignment. After that it was less often and more specifically directed at my symptoms, but I do remember that first one had needles in my abdomen that felt like they were affecting my ovaries or something. One of those really hurt when first put in, very unusual as overall none of the needles hurt and it was relaxing. Maybe it was a sign that something was really off course for me?

I'm 7dpo today and had some crazy cm tonight! It's unusual for me to have so much at this part of the 2ww. Otherwise, not many symptoms, just the same old sore chest. My temp was up nice, but we had a horrible night since dd was having trouble sleeping, so I can't trust it unless the upward trend continues.

I experienced the same thing that you described with the needle in my abdomen. It affected me at first, then I felt sensations where my pituitary gland was and where my ovaries were about 20 minutes into the session. I take it as a good sign too. I have to go twice a week for at least a month, maybe two, them maintenance. He will know more during my next session. He did say I am very in tune with my body, and I may be at maintenance a lot sooner. I guess most people don't feel to the degree I did. FX it works!

I am tightening up the diet as DS2 is weaning himself and should be completely weaned by the start of my next cycle. I was hoping to have BFing as part of my sway but it looks like it won't be. I have to be strict then on the diet and exercise. I am doing more of that now too, since I have added the Yoga in top of my cardio instead of replacing any. Good news is we are approaching Lent (we are Catholic), and I can actually fast since I won't be BFing! That will hopefully offset not BFing to strengthen my sway!

Maiden- you need to PM me about IF! I need some tips getting back into the swing of it again, so it doesn't take me long to get to the full 36 again 😘!

Hi Ladies! Sorry I have been MIA, Sorry to here some of you have had a hard time. Lets change things and bring lots of positive vibes for the next cycle. I received my OPKs in the mail yesterday so looking forward to using them but I'm also going to BD a lot more this cycle, no more stuffing about! If I did get pregnant in February I would be due on my Birthday lol! I doubt it would happen though as I was induced both times for my boys and they were born 4 weeks early.

Sage- When are you going to test?? I like your symptoms :)

Mars- are you going to do every 4 days? Or more often? Your attitude is great :)

I'm thinking if I get lucky I'll O in a week and a half. As soon as I stop spotting we'll start doing every 4 days.

XX- the acupuncture sounds really great!!

sent using tapatalk

Junie I think we will do every 3/4 days. I'm sure my husband won't argue. ;)
Sounds like a few of us will be Oing and testing at the same time.

XX, congrats on the self weaning! My dd did it in Dec. I was happy and sad, but overall just so proud of making it so long. <3

Mars, what brand of opks are you using? Let us know how you like them, but I hope I never need another opk, lol.

My temp was up so nice this morning, I'm trying not to get excited. Dd was up in the middle of the night again -- I heard her in her room talking to herself and making owl noises, lol, so it wasn't a good night's sleep, but it seems like it's been awhile since we've had a good night. Anyway, I am not doing the early peeing this time. If things still look good, I'll test on Friday, maybe Saturday. Af is due Sunday. I am unusually calm this cycle because I'm leaning more towards the "I can't get pregnant" mindset, thinking I'll need the specialist we're lined up to see in Feb. (waiting over a month, soonest I could get). Of course I would love to be able to walk in and say I'm preg and get all the early tests and monitoring! But I'm just going to assume nothing is happening yet.

MIL's bday is oct. 14th. We have about 5 birthdays in October but as long as I avoid that date I don't care what the due date would be. Never got a positive opk yesterday:(, but it is getting darker. I was real crampy last night and this morning more cramps, tender bb's an ewcm, so hopefully I get a positive today or tomorrow.

Maiden I also want to know more about IF. I've done it before but it was a loooong time ago. Do you think it's just as good of a girl sway as LE? Do you still stay within LE limits?

XX - I am Catholic too and this would be a very good fast for lent.

I am 6 dpo today and not sure if I will test early. It gets me so down so please keep me grounded and help me not test!!! FX for everyone!! Blue and Pink dust where needed!!:DD::DS:

6dpo also. Trying not to test until 12dpo. I am really hating the cardio these days!! I don't mind the diet, I just dread the exercise:-/ actually I am really hungry right now and wouldn't mind a cheeseburger;)


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am also 6dpo, and trying not to cave and test to early as it really sucks with the BFN. Good to see there are others here in the same boat as me. This is my second month TTC, wasn`t going to go overboard with symptom spotting, but the nausea has already arrived, and it is kind off a symptom that is hard not to spot, is it to early or is it possible that the nausea kicks in so early?

Wishing everyone good luck and lots of baby dust for everyone.

I have been soo hungry the past few days and I attribute it to being on the diet for a while!!
A cheeseburger does sound good!!!!
Wishingwell, sometimes progesterone symptoms can cause symptoms so hopefully its a great sign!! FXFX!

FX for you ladies!!!!

Help please! These are two different opk's.
Babi on top and dollar tree on bottom. Is the bottom one positive? How can they be so different???

I don't think it is quite positive yet. But super close!

I agree with Mommymachine. I think you are super close! I would test again tonight and in the morning. I bet you'll get a positive within the next day or two.

I have heard the dollar tree opks are more sensitive, but I wouldn't call it a positive yet though.

I am getting excited for you 😘


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not there yet but not far off x

I'm just using an Ebay cheapie OPK, never used them before so we will see how it goes!

All those on 6dpo...DON'T TEST!!!! Too early...wait another week. You can do it :D :D

Mars I haven't ovulated yet.... Waiting! Attachment 23273
Here's another picture of the dollar tree test, it got a little darker.

I will test again tonight, probably bd, then test again in the morning.

Thanks girls for your help:)

Yay! FX and 🙏 for you!!!!!
