So begins the dreaded yet potentially exciting thing that is the 2WW! whos with me?!
:poas: :bowdown::noaf:
Good luck nahri! Hope u get ur bfp this month!
I'll be joining you in about 12 days! Good luck to everyone TTC in August!
Good luck nahri and essnce!
We are doing the DTD every 4 days thing, we BD on CD5 and CD9, today is CD10. Going to BD again on Friday (CD13). I usually ovulate around CD13-15. I'm not tracking temps or doing OPK this month so no idea how to calculate the 2WW! Going to probably do my first pg test on August 11th (around 10-11 dpo).
Yes I'm a loser for having calculated this already. Yes I know the whole point of the every 4 days thing is to stop calculating things... YUP, total martha here.. eek..
Lol, bluebonnet! I always have the best of intentions not to test too... then break down and do it anyway.
I'm hoping I'll be joining you all!
2ww count from suspected day of OQuote:

Fivebabies-- I'm just 3dpo as well. So we can be testing buddies in a few weeks!
I'm here! O'd yesterday or today so I won't be testing until the 12th August...ok ok i'll probably cave and test around the 10th :D
I have a huge supply of pee sticks I wanna know how early I pop positive. I didn't get a bfp with DS until 2 days late! I am not one of th 99.9% accurate. Wonder if I will be this time :D
Hi all!!! Welcome to 2ww of torture!! I am being so good this month and not googling every little symptom, 7dpo today and nothing much happening !! XX

Me too.... I'm some undetermined days past O.... maybe 5 (according to BBT), maybe only 2 (according to fertility monitor). I'm hoping I'm only 2 dpo so that I didn't miss my window, but if I'm actually 5 dpo, then I'm already out as we would have missed our window. Of course, when it comes to wanting to test, I want to be 5 dpo so I can start testing sooner.... hahahah.... it is so nice to have other women to share this wonderful, horrible, nail-biting, will-BFP-ever-get here experience!
Anyone have any experience with progesterone cream to lengthen their LP? I'm experimenting it with it this cycle. I've always had a short LP (10 days) but its been only 7 days for awhile now. :( Not nearly long enough to give it time to implant. I used to be on it for hormone balancing and still had some so I thought I'd give it a shot. we've been ttc for 4 months, at least. Its never taken us this long before. :(
Started after O.
Anyone use it before for that purpose?
4dpo today....tick tock, tick tock.
My girlfriend was prescribed progesterone cream to start as soon as she got a bfp to reduce the chance of miscarriage (she had two prior ones, one at 11 weeks, one at 14 weeks) but they didn't have her use the progesterone before bfp, so I don't know about using it to lengthen your lutel phase.
Hello Again!!! I am ready to join! Attempt was the day before yesterday... and the waiting game begins! Praying for a sticky this month; had a CP last month. Good luck ladies!!!
I ended up being 3 days past AF last month we got our hopes up and then AF attacked with a vengeance so hopefully this time around we all have some good news!
Nahri~ Sad!! That's when its the worst. We get our hopes up, for legit reasons, and then it all comes crashing down. :( Gets so depressing. FX for you this month!!!
Christi~ Thanks! That helps! Hope it works!
AF is due tomorrow or the next day. (Sunday or Monday) Hope she stays away for a little while to give any fertilized egg a chance to implant!!
I'm here too. I got a positive OPks on the 29th and 30th, so I will test on the 10th. I think this may be slow death!
5dpo....waiting waiting. I think I'm 5dpo but the last 3 days I've had lots of CM so now I'm not sure, maybe I O'd later??
Mars~ That's possible!!
I think I'll test on the 7th....
1 dpo over here (I think? Didn't use OPK so no way of knowing for sure)... tick.tock.tick.tock.. I'm trying to wait until 13 dpo to test this month but I doubt I'll be able to hold out ! I wasted 2 of my only 3 FRER's last month on BFN so I'm trying to save my one and only FRER for when AF is actually due.
Good luck blue bonnet FX its your BFP x

Well, it looks like I'm out for this month. I started spotting today at 7 dpo. I haven't even had a chance to pee on a stick yet!! No idea why my cycle is so short this month (22 days). I guess if I'm not preggo, it's better to know sooner so we can get back to TTC as soon as possible (though we are out for this next cycle, trying to avoid having a due date in May). Good luck to everyone else on getting a BFP!!!
kitkat - Thank you!! An April baby would be so lovely !
Christi - Not to give you false hope, but are you 100% sure it's not implantation bleeding? If you're out, I'm so sorry! We originally were going to try to skip May due date as well but I don't think I have it in me to skip a cycle at this point. Hope this isn't AF for you, but if it is GL in late September/October.
I suppose I won't know for sure until af begins fully, but last month I had a few days of spotting before af reared her ugly head and this seems to be the exact same thing. I hope it is implantation spotting, but trying not to build up my hopes only to be disappointed in a few days. Thanks for keeping the hopes alive for me though. I won't let myself think it, but if other people do, I can take a little comfort in that. :)
Christi~ Booooo! I hope she stays away for you!!!
bluebonnet~ Why not May?
I am having a major migraine today :( Who is testing next??
Still no BFP for me but I know better than to see one at this stage in the game 7dpo but I am curious to see if it is the same as my first pregnancy where even the FRER couldn't nail it until 2 days after AF was due. Stay strong ladies!!
Nahri - Hope you get a BFP soon! You are just days away from being actually able to see one! I got one with 9 dpo with DS.
fivebabies - the week I would be due would be mother's day, my husband's birthday, nephew's birthday, and BIL's birthday. It's also the week before the last week of school here so there's always tons of end of year parties and chaos. I've always hated the week of my husband's birthday because there are always so many social events and trying to make his birthday special with mother's day and all that so close is tough. I've been on LE diet long enough (and lost pretty much all the weight I can lose without friends and family sending me to an eating disorder clinic) so I really need to just get PG soon so I'll deal with the May birthday week being less than optimal at this point!! You must be so excited about testing in 2 days.. I'm jealous. I'm waiting until a week from Friday if I can help it.
Totally stalking this thread for your BFP news!!
fivebabies - my LP had been between 5-9 days and my doctor wouldnt help me (I am in the UK) but I ploughed on regardless. I have no way of knowing what my LP would have been the month I got my BFP, it may have lengthened, who knows. And when I spoke to my doctor after my BFP and again raised my worry about low prog and LP, she said that we make different amounts of progesterone month to month and I must have made enough this month because I was PG.
When I first realised my LP was so short, atomic advised me to take zinc 3 times a week, make the effort to eat 4 eggs a week and full fat dairy every day. So I had done this for a couple of cycles before the conception one. I had started taking B6 3 times a week in the conception cycle as well. Not sure whether any of this is helpful to you but just in case your doctor wont help either.
Hey ladies. I'm 7dpo and thinking about testing tomorrow. I shouldn't I know. It's too soon. I just have lots of cm and cramping and I'm inpatient!!
Mars - I did that last cycle (started testing too early) so I definitely don't blame you! If you have plenty of cheap hcg tests who cares? I'm trying to hold off until AF is due to test this month but I'm only 3 dpo (?) now and I'm sure I'll change my mind!
I'm at 11 dpo and have had a strangly short cycle this month. My average is 33 days with 31 days being my shortest in years. Well I believe I o'd on cycle day 14 this month and have started spotting since cd 24 (10 dpo) which would be SOOO early to start a period for me so hoping it's a good sign. So far i've gotten bfn's yesterday and today.
oh, I should add that I have had some pregnancy type symptoms but they are very similar to my pre af symptoms so trying not to get too worked up. Very hot in bed, very dizzy when I get up and feel sooo groggy and sorta hung over for about 10 mins. Some hot feelings in lower abdomen, not much bb or nipple pains etc at all though.
bluebonnet~ That makes sense! May is a crazy busy month for us too. School gets out the 3rd week, many family bdays including DS1. Spring is not a great time of year for us to have a baby really.
Stephk~ Thanks for the info! So strange. I am not using a ton of progesterone crème but its good quality natural stuff. I used to use it to balance out my hormones...maybe it did it just enough this time! FX!
pinkhelp~ I'm right behind ya! Its so hard not to test early!!
I am 10 dpo. AF is late by 3 days now but that could very well be the progesterone cream holding her off. When I used it before AF would show up before I stopped the cream though so that gives me a tiny bit of hope. I might pick up a couple of tests today but I would be way too tempted to start testing earlier than I planned. So maybe I won't. :worry:
Fivebabies sounds really promising!!!
Thanks Steph......but I just started spotting, so I'm out. :( Its been 4 months ttc now. Its never taken more than 2 with all 5 of mine. I'm only 33 so its not like I'm ancient. This is getting too emotionally draining. :(
Ah, so sorry if you're out Fivebabies, but hoping it's just late implantation spotting! This is my 4 cycle TTC as well and I'm also 33.
Good luck to anyone testing in the next few days! I'm just CD10 with -opk so far so still just waiting to O. Normal O day for me is CD15, which is on Sunday.
Sorry to hear you are out fivesbabies. I know what you mean about how exhausting this whole process is. When I was planning my sway and NOT ttc, it all seemed so easy, but now that I'm in it, it's so much harder.
I feel like it's always like hurry up and wait for +opk, hope you make he attempt at the right time, then wait some more, try not to give into peeing on a stick every time you go to the bathroom, and then line up all those bfn after 10dpo until AF shows up....
I started spotting yesterday at 7dpo, and gave in and tested this morning, no surprise--bfn. AF hasn't fully reared her ugly head, so I'll test again on 10dpo if she hasn't fully shown up. Though the way I'm feeling, I doubt I'll make it to 10dpo before af gets here.
Good luck to all those testing soon!
Well I did the q tip test and it's pretty red in there so I'm thinking I'm out. I can't believe AF is going to show at cd26. this has NEVER happened to me. Idont really have any symptoms. Either I'm missing O entirely or just the way stuff is making it really hard to get pg. Feeling bummed....
