Marvelous March 2WW

Been awake since 3am again!! I laid for an hour and a half trying unsuccessfully to get back to sleep so I took my temp an hour early (it spiked a little :) ) and tested. Wasted a digi that said not pregnant of course and my frer looks stark :( I actually think I see something at the right angle and I'll pull it apart later after school drop off. Its 5.15am and I'm so glad in a few hours I can sleep if I want as my near 3 year old has his one day a week at daycare today. Hopefully after tomorrow my sleep will improve. Have to say I'm not feeling very confident which is ridiculous at 9dpo lol. Can't believe yet again I started testing early :( and have to endure days of bfns instead of just one. I really am a sucker for punishment......

Hang in there Pbn3! You may have only just implanted. I bet you'll know more in the next two days, if you can hold out that long [emoji6].

Your chart is looking very good!

You know, I'm thinking you should continue BDing even after your temp shift while taking Clomid. My RE said to not trust temps while on Clomid, because often when he monitors women via US they often ovulate later in their cycle despite seeing a clear temp rise on their chart. I would BD every 4 days after your temp rise next cycle if this ends up being a BFN.

Xxforhubby I'm going to do my best now to not test for two days. I have one digi and one frer left. I'll see what my temps do over the next two days (last cycle they started dropping) and test 11dpo if they don't drop, otherwise if they do I might hang onto them... I'm so hopeless at not testing though I'll probably buy another 3pk of frers and blow them by 11dpo 😂

It sucks with my hubbys shift work trying to work out any kind of bd schedule :( I was hoping for more attempts this cycle, ideally 3 but it just wasn't possible. I'll definately do as you recommend and keep bding after temp rise just in case. My ob told me originally to bd cd8-18 e2d but that's just so full on for us that the stress of trying to achieve it would probably have the reverse effect. I'm really hoping next cycle works out better with his work and I may take a cycle off clomid too....

Pbn3, 9dpo and a temp spike! Don't give up hope! It's so early!

So happy to "see" familiar faces.

So I'm on supposed day CD15 if I go by my one day of spotting but repeated BFNs. I skipped Clomid this month bc I didn't feel comfortable taking it without a defined period.

Doing my OPKs and haven't gotten a pos yet.

But am feeling so conflicted! Before we TTC last month I was 100% ready and excited. Now I'm contemplating if I really want to TTC number 3. Not sure what it is. Hubby is still on board but I keep looking at all the cons and feeling like I'm trying to convince myself one way or the other now if I want to TTC.

Yet I keep peeing on things...[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Quick question ladies.
I took progesterone suppositories ladt month and although I didn't get my bfp my lining thickness went from a 9 to 14 this cycle! I think it was thanks to the progesterone. I asked my RE if he recommends me taking it again and he said that it was something I can choose on my own. They apperently don't test for progesterone levels until pregnancy bc they feel like they don't really tell us much?? I dunno..
Anyway.. should I take again? I still have lots left.
Ovulation was 5 days ago and I took it from 3 dpo 14 dpo last cycle. I am little late now...

Ovulation was 4 days ago and I took it this time to 14 dpo last cycle.

This idea of ttc #3 has me so conflicted too and I'm not even near the pointy end yet. Some days I'm like yep decision made we will have a third and then others all the cons get to me and I think maybe not. Hearing others thoughts helps. Although I think in a years time I'll still be flip flopping.

So I did another test earlier with smu and urine looked more concentrate and still looked stark though felt like something was trying to catch my eye. A few minutes ago I pulled them apart and took pics immediately but the strips still looked stark to me. Just found this on my photos. No idea if its fmu or smu test. Does anyone see anything?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...19b6abffe2.jpg

I definitely see something and it looks pink, but I don't know how much faith I would put in it.

Thanks foxtrotmama! Yes I'm very sceptical at this stage and think maybe its a trick of the light?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

It definitely catches my eye, but I'm not sure because of the lighting.

Ohhh so early!! I'll bet next few days line gets super dark!! 😊

Nurseandi, miamelb, I feel the same way. I really wanted a third but after getting my hopes up and a BFN last cycle, I feel discouraged and keep second-guessing myself. Life feels so hectic with two, and my DH just took a more demanding job (he used to be the more flexible parent who handled more of the childcare than me). I don't want a Christmas baby either, so I've just given up the diet completely now that I'm in the 2WW.

Pbn3, the only thing to do in this situation is keep testing. This is what we have the 2WW thread for!!

Hi everyone! Ovulation time has rolled around again. Does this look like a positive? I don't think it is. Almost though. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2a02184ef3.jpg

Not positive katt but close!! Maybe tomorrow or the next day...

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Agree with pbn3 you're close but not there quite yet.

I see that pbn!!!!

I decided not to give up yet. There is still that faint weirdish line that's pink. Idk. I actually had spotting for a little while this afternoon with cramps at 10 dpo. I don't spot on progesterone, ever, except during implant in most of my pregnancies including the 2 most recent. Then I had major nausea this evening and went to bed it was so bad so I'm going to get the Dr to do a beta. We'll see. So bizarre.

Fx so tight lilly!! That's great your going to get betas! Cant wait for your results!!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Pbn-I zoomed in & I definitely see something! Fx that it gets darker in the next few days!!!!

Are you testing tomorrow lola?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

So I have a small update on me. I am still getting light-med flow, bright red and with clots (small) and my test is still dark.

So I went to the dr this afternoon. The regular DR was out at the hospital delivering a baby ironically and I saw the PA. She was young and did not know much from what I can tell. She ordered an immediate u/s this evening (I am only 14dpo) and I gave a LMP to coincide with that day, and did not want to do betas until after the u/s. Well, I made them draw the blood for the betas anyway. I did the u/s because I knew I would not be able to get any other testing without doing it. I am pretty sure it is too early to see a sac or anything. The u/s tech was no help. I asked her if she could see anything. Her reply " I could see some things"....gee that helps. Poor DH was hustling to get from home to the u/s because I had all of the kids with me. He made it there after she had already started, so I got to have a wonderful trans vag u/s with 3 of my boys in the room!!! That was awkward to say the least. And I did not want them to know I am pregnant in case this does not go well.
So I should get results of my beta tomorrow and the results of the u/s since they would not tell me anything and just said the Dr would call. So frustrating. I will try to get a pic of my tests for the past few days.

So glad you've been seen shannshaff, cant believe you had an audience for your u/s 😣 do you get repeat bloods in 48 hours?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

My tests for the past few days.
Attachment 35244

Yes, I will get repeat betas because I am walking in and having it drawn. The Dr didn't want them. UGH

Yep there's progression there shannshaff! Cant wait for you to have some answers!

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Cant believe doc didn't order them???? That's the first thing on the list with bleeding after pos pregnancy test.

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

It feels s strange to be writing this but even though I finally got my BFP I'm just not excited like I was the past 3 times. I am happy & relieved to be off the LE diet but I dont have that excitement of my little secret growing inside of me. I think it is because of the miscarriage last year & I am just worried that it might happen again. Hubby is so terrified of another miscarriage that he wont even tell his parents that I am pregnant again. I know many of you have been in this position. I feel that last years experiences is going to rob me of enjoying this last pregnancy. Any tips or hints?

Kc personally I feel its completely normal to feel somewhat disconnected. Its a natural emotional defense mechanism I think. That first miscarriage is crushing and takes all the innocence and blissful ignorance away from any future pregnancies. Instead of feeling elated and excited you are worried and nervous. Whether you choose to get bw in these early days for peace of mind is up to you however even that is no guarantee :( All I can suggest is try and put things put of your mind until your dating scan but then I've lost 3 pregnancies this past year so my thinking may not suit lol - I want to stay ignorant again if you get what I mean? How do you feel? Do you feel you need some reassurance through bw?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

My gp will order bloods next week & ask if I want a early scan which I will do this time (I didnt last time but did with my other 2). I just feel so robbed of that early exitement. I just loved that feeling so excited you were going to burst. I feel so bad for this baby that Im just not feeling the joy that I should be. I totally understand that it is self protective but it is all so out of my control I dont know why I am worrying! Both of my boys in the past 24hrs have asked for another baby again. They are always asking & I just want to be able to tell them but we dont want to tell them anything until we cant hide it anymore. We want to protect them too in case anything happens. That was the one thing that I was so glad about last time is that we didnt tell them anything.

I definitely saw something when I first glanced the pic and then not so sure as I look at it longer. Fx.

I would do it in a heartbeat if I could guarantee to have my DG but since there are no guarantees (and I'm convinced we will always have girls) it makes it more complex. I almost talked myself into having a third the other day just so that they'd have another sibling to be there for eachother when they're older. Not sure if I truely believe that logic or not though, just trying to find a reason other than just wanting a boy I guess. I'm also lucky enough to not have had a mc to date which I can only imagine makes the journey and decision making that much harder.

Wow Shannshaff what a few days your had, rollercoaster definately. Hugs. Can't imagine doing that u/s with an audience like that. My fingers are crossed that all is ok cause I definitely see the progression in your tests from the last few days.

Whos next to test ladies? Il be testing friday. So nervous..
