February 2WW

Uschi, congrats!

I am today at 11 DPO and got BFN. Very sad

[Junie]

I'm so sorry KKK37- I hope it is just too early!!

Thanks Junie for the encouragement. I've, of course, been googling and worrying about it all night (although not much I can do now, just wait.). Took my FRER this morning and BFN. Frustrating. Hopefully more answers today at the office - I'll update in a few hours. I hope everyone has a great day!

Just got off the phone with my OB: she said that on Friday my HCG was a 9, but progesterone was the really low 1.7. Today my HCG is back down to a 4, so something happened where I must have just timed it right going in there to pick up the faint line on the test, but it didn't actually implant. So she didn't think that it was actually a miscarry, but instead didn't get a chance to implant. Onward and upward though. Hopefully I'll see everyone in the March 2WW. Good luck to everyone with their BFPs!

I am so sorry TaytumJ! You have such a great attitude! Thanks for reminding me that I need to start the March 2ww thread!

I sure hope and [emoji120]that next cycle brings you your BFP! [emoji8]

BFN still. Expecting AF tomorrow or Weds. Disappointed of course but looking forward to next month. And please, for the love of all that is good, discourage me from any testing talk until at least 12dpo next time.

So sorry for the false hope, Taytum!! You have a great spirit about it and I hope March is your month!
Sorry for the BFN, Vegmom! Yes, delay testing It's harder, but easier if you know what I mean.

AFM - just returned from the lab. Will keep you posted on my blood test. (sorry no FRER

Congrats, uschi!!! Hope your labs go well!

Taytum, I'm so sorry. At least you know some things are working, right? I feel so in the dark about what's going on with my body. I went to see a dr earlier this month, but she wouldn't run any blood tests yet, said I needed to take Creighton classes and chart that way first. I suspect my body is doing the same thing yours is with our perfect timing month after month and then false hopes.

Anyway, I finally got the Napro book I had to special order through the library (opted to do that before signing up for any of those classes!) and something that really stuck out to me and I want to share with you ladies is that you can still have an o with a follicle that isn't maturing right and then doesn't form a good corpus luteum. If it isn't quite right, your hormones will be off and you will be more likely to have pms symptoms and that just rung so true with me about how I'm having all these "early pregnancy symptoms" every month since we're ttc.

Yeah, why waste my time taking those classes and making "proper" charts when I know my body and can tell what's going on right now? The book has explained my case to me even without blood tests: I'm not getting good ewcm before o because I don't have good estrogen. I'm getting stuff like ewcm in the 2ww and just before af and spotting before af because the estrogen and progesterone are off. They're off because my follicles and then corpus luteum are not maturing right. So my current tactic is acupuncture and really trying to improve my overall health, eating even better, exercising even better. The book didn't describe an exact treatment for this sort of situation, although it did mention B6 for people with dry cm, but that probably hasn't done much for me because that's not my problem; I do get cm, it's just not great quality and comes at the wrong times. I need to study more and memorize the description of fertile cm, which was stretchy, clear, and/or something. Anyway, great book if anyone is truly overly obsessed with all this stuff. Obsession helps sway boy, right? lol
