February 2WW

Taytum- I think especially if you don't have too many charts from previous cycles the best thing to do is just temp every day no matter what and put a note for that day to record any special circumstances like if you woke up a few times or think your temp is off due to drinking. That way you are best able to see overall trends. Also will you bring your chart in to the doc? I think it will be helpful for him or her to see that you aren't Oing and hopefully as soon as they get AF started you will be able to get pregnant right away! But of course I hope it isn't necessary because you are actually about to O right now and catch the eggie :)

Of course I would love to be pregnant but if I am realistic the chances are very very low especially when looking at my temps. But I think the best thing for me will just to be to get out of this limbo and have AF start so that I can move on.

Hey all, I have been away for a few days at the beach. Was lovely :) I am about 6dpo I think. I won't be testing until AF is late though, I've had too many months lately of getting my hopes up and then having them crushed.

I am sooo hungry, I'm thinking about stopping the diet. I need meat and I need to have snacks. I've put on 5kg in the last 8 months :( I have always been the same weight so this is depressing me so much.

Well, tested again today & BFN again. I'm not really surprised, since I'm only about 10dpo. I sure feel pregnant, though. It might all be in my mind, but I'm peeing more & last night I burst into tears over some missing ebooks....that I haven't done anything about in 2 years. Totally not like me at all.

Sorry for the short posts, I don't get much time to post or read here these days.

Maiden- I feel for you on this journey. I hope you get a BFP asap. I want you to be able to have all of yours kids soon like you hope. I can't stand when bad things happen to good people and when life is unfair. (I wish we could all get what we want right now! ) I'm not sure if you were trying to be funny earlier about the German guy servicing you but it did make me chuckle a bit. Hugs lady! And fingers crossed for BFP.

Sageviolet- my dr is just my ob/gyn. I must admit he is not your average ob. I found him when I was pregnant with DS2, to help me achieve my unmedicated, intervention-free vbac. He is kind of a midwife ob. He is very kind, understanding, knowledgeable. He spends a lot of time with each patient and really gets to know us. So I do have a relationship with him and he knows my medical history. I think he felt good giving me meds because my cycles are on the long side and unpredictable month to month ever since my period returned last year- 32-40 days. I also believe he thinks I'm competent in my knowledge of birth and my cycles. I'm a part of our local ICAN chapter which he supports professionally. Any way I hope hat answered your question. I'm also not sure if I believe everything happens for a reason. I'm leaning toward creating my own destiny with the help of the energy of the universe at the moment:)

So sorry for those of you who had AF show.
Xx- you still BF? Me too. My guy turns 2 in 12 days and I finally have him weaned to 1 time a day for nursing. He transitioned well. I was hoping cutting back would help me conceive. I Honestly didnt Think twice a day was going to matter. My ob didn't either but who knows! 2 of my good friends got pregnant while bfing in mid 30s . That happens all the time.

I am charting and doing opks. On cd12. Took all my Femara cd5-9. I have a follicle scan Wednesday and will let you know. Have definitely had ovary pain from the meds. Hope they're working.
Sorry if my grammar is poor. Typing in between clients.
GL for those waiting to test! Fx!!

Junie - I've been been doing actually really well for the most part waking up no matter what and testing - even on the weekend! But you're right, with no previous cycle they're hard to compare to any thing. I have my temp on FF on my phone so I will definitely be pulling it out! CM today was sticky, but lots of right ovary pain throughout the day as well. Hopefully!

I got a positive OPK this morning and burst into tears. It is so unfair to have no chance with the timing this cycle.

Mars- A few days at the beach sounds lovely!!! I understand waiting to test :)

blueeyedguys- I bet it is just still too early.

Emilee- Your doctor sounds fantastic! I hope the meds worked!

Taytum- I hope this is still your cycle!

Junie - I'm so sorry to hear this. It makes me so sad. :( so frustrating that there's only a small window of opportunity for us, and when things don't go the way we want them to it's frustrating and disappointing. Hopefully next cycle is your BFP!

Taytum, after o the cm will be dry or sticky. Since having dd, a sore chest is my #1 symptom for knowing when I'm in the 2ww. How is your sway going? I'm also swaying blue. I've been on the diet for so long now, I'm actually starting to enjoy some foods I once thought were yucky, lol.

FF gave me crosshairs today, but I disagree. I'm fairly certain I o'ed on 2/7.

2boys, looking forward to seeing your test results! FX!

blueeyedguys, FX for you, too! lol at the overreaction to the ebooks -- that's the kind of thing I also do when hormonal.

emileejane, sounds like you found a really compassionate dr! And hooray for you making your destiny so positive -- hope it gets even more "positive" soon! Are you doing anything special for the birthday? Dd was so shy at her 2 year party she wouldn't do anything, even though it was just parents and grandparents.

Junie, please go do something special for yourself. Have your nails done, get a massage, watch a favorite movie, have a favorite snack, whatever you can do to give yourself a treat. You deserve it! *hugs*

Oh no Junie!!! Timing was completely against you! So sorry to hear this! In the name of hope, I have to ask, when did you last bd? Any chance some swimmers are still around?

I feel like AF is on her way- 4-5 days early so it could be a sign of a BFP but one can never be certain. I am so tired of the diet!!! I want to eat oatmeal and a banana for breakfast!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2boys I know what you mean! I just want to eat a banana without feeling guilty!!
Junie- sorry you missed o! We can only plan so much, but life has a pace of its own. I keep telling myself that it's for the best. Good things come to those who wait <3

Junie- I just want to give you a big hug! I am so sorry this happened! I am praying for a miracle that there will be some sperm hanging out for you to get a BFP. Then your DH can boast about having super sperm!

2boys- sounds promising! I am hoping that AF stays away!

Everyone else waiting to test, I hope you get your much deserved BFPs! That would just make my day [emoji4]!

I'm hoping that the sticky CM is a sign of O, or just my cycle restarting itself. But, the past few cycles I've at least had psuedo period symptoms (cramps, sore bb, cravings, etc.) but with no period. Aside from sore bb and some right ovary pain yesterday, nothing else. It's a mystery. And I actually already had a pretty boy friendly diet! I love tomatoes, meat, salt, avocado, bananas, potatoes etc. So I figured I was pretty boy friendly to begin with. My biggest probably was eating MORE! haha. Excited to see crosshairs for you though!! FX for you in the 2WW!

2boys - good luck! I really hope it's BFN and not AF!! All fingers and toes crossed!

2boys- I'm so excited for you to test soon! :) We BD on Th and Fr night before he left so it is technically possible at this point but if I don't O for a full day not at all possible.

Grace- So true about not being able to plan this. I'm trying to just accept it all and be gracious and patient but today it wasn't really happening.

Anyone testing soon? I'm living vicariously through all of you :D

I MIGHT tomorrow. I did an IC this morning- BFN. I am scared to use a pricey one and the urge to poas was satisfied with the cheapie!
I am not feeling anything today. I had some strong menstrual like cramps yesterday and was sure I was bleeding but nope. 4-5 days til AF.

Now I REALLY feel like AF is coming. I am truly ok with that, oddly. Making peace with my unknown fate is better than losing my mind trying to figure out what is next for me!

I am sorry 2boys! I am glad you are able to find peace with the process. I find it truly helps and makes me less anxious/depressed. I have been there now for the last two cycles. I hope it doesn't take you long to conceive again. I wouldn't wish my lot on anybody [emoji6]! FX next cycle is it for you, or this one. I'm assuming you haven't gotten any spotting/bleeding yet, right? You may not be out yet!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No bleeding yet XX. I am hopeful but also expecting the worst. It's less painful that way. You know all too well how this can be so depressing... You have been my inspiration to keep optimistic through this all!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck 2boys. Your not out yet :)
Junie I'll be testing once AF is late. Due around the 17th. I'm 8dpo now. I've gone off the diet. I'm hungry and need breakfast!

Mars- enjoy breakfast!! I think it is totally fine to slack in the 2WW
2boys- I can't wait to hear how your test is tomorrow.

Good luck everyone testing soon! I'll be living vicariously through all of you!

I wonder if I should wait to test? I have had so much cramping today that I spent half the day in the bathroom looking for AF! No show. I just feel like if it is implantation, there is no way Hcg will be measurable in my urine by tomorrow. I am only 8-9dpo. Should I or shouldn't I?? I know only I can decide that, but insight helps!

Mars - We're nearly cycle buddies! My af is due on the 18th. And if you remember, statistics show you're more likely to get a bfp if you're my cycle buddy! :-)

2boys - That sounds promising! I think it was on countdowntopregnancy.com where they explain it takes 48 hours after implantation to be detected by a normal test (measuring at 20 I think). So the countdown is on! Try 48 hours after your cramping.

2boys- I'd wait if I were you, it's too early. Wait at least until 10dpo. Still crossing my fingers for you!

Haha sage! Let's hope it's true ;)
Oh 2 boys that sounds soooo promising!!!!

I'm so excited to see everyone getting closer to testing!

2boys - I really hope the cramps are good news for you! With AF still a few days away that would be fantastic!!

I've been having this super creamy CM the past few days. Yesterday I even wondered if I was actually O-Ing, but remembered that it's creamy and not EWCM so it couldn't be that. Then today my temp went above 98.0, which it's never done unless I drank night before. So u thought maybe yesterday was O, but FF put crosshairs back on when I thought I O'ed earlier in the cycle. What the heck!? So now it says I'm 10dpo.

I'm going to check out your chart in a second as I'm on my phone now and can't see the link but creamy CM has always been a really great sign for me! Hopefully this also is BFP cycle for you.

Taytum- I agree with FF and what you originally thought to be O day. Great timing and hopefully this is it!!!

Taytum - Implantation dip?!

Sage: That's what I was thinking too?? Maybe the first dip was estrogen and second was implementation?

I'm actually...scared/anxious/nervous? I'll probably test out of curiosity sake on Saturday (which I think would be 12DPO). So I'm trying to be excited and happy, but I had JUST started swaying like right after O. I have been taking a prenatal since October, always eat breakfast in the morning (usually Honey Nut Cherrios) and was eating more veggies (green beans mostly ha), and had pork almost every night with DH, along with a banana or some sort of fruit for snacks/lunch and almonds for snacks, but DH was sick the week before leading up to it so we only DTD twice before that and I had lost weight after ending BC in October after my hormones leveled out.

I know that either way we'll be happy with the first, I was just hoping to sway a little bit more the next month or so! Positive thoughts! Although since I haven't had a period since October so I'm not even sure when AF would arrive if she is going to! :)

GL TaytumJ and 2boys! I'm getting excited for you two!!!!
