Aug 2WW

Well af showed for me. [emoji22] I need some advice. How do you ladies stay optimistic through the 2ww? As I said before, I've been pregnant twice within 3 months in the past 5 years but the last one took a really long time and required multiple rounds of clomid and IUI, even though all tests were always normal. Now I spend the whole 2ww stressed and convinced I'm not pregnant. I know we're older now (me-33 and dh-44) but we're both healthy. How do I switch that thinking and be confident in my body again?

I'm also swaying boy which is supposed to raise fertility. I'm taking supplements like wheatgrass with my prenatal.

(((HUGS))) I know how you feel. We TTC'd for years to conceive our second (loss). Right now I think I am coasting on the fact that our DD was conceived right off.... and we conceived last cycle but it just didn't stick. Don't know how long it'll last but it's working for the moment.

Well looks like O happened yesterday. I'm kinda bummed though... I always see temps jump WAY up when pregnancy is possible. ������

Your dip was pretty big... don't give up yet... you JUST startd the 2 WW lol

boysboys- Your dip was pretty big... don't give up yet... you JUST started the 2 WW lol

Temp didn't rebound like I hoped it would so it's looking like an egg may not be "rescuing" my prog levels. Not giving up hope but it does knock my optimism down a peg or two :/

I don't know anything about temping but hopefully it keeps going up!

I don't know anything about temping but hopefully it keeps going up!

Basically an implant dip (a dip mid 2WW) happens when the prog drops because the corpus luteum (what is left on the ovary after O) stops producing it and supposedly temp jumps back up when an implanted egg comes to the rescue and takes over prog production. An implant dip is far from a guarantee of a BFP and you can be preg without a dip but it is something charting ppl watch for. But moreso I am concerned about how low my temps are... doesn't mean I'm out but not a very reassuring sign.

Vent time when I told mum test was still negative earlier this arvy she was like oh well at least you've go two gorgeous boys (uurrgghh cant believe she said that!!!). I know she's never been very supportive of me trying for a 3rd but as much as I love her I'm glad she's going home tomorrow. And if I happen to get a bfp I'm going to lie and say its negative because I want at least a few weeks without unintentional or intention dumb comments!!
edited to say: the comment my mum made wasn't done so in a supportive it'll be ok way, it was shrug of the shoulders, be glad for what you got, what's wrong with you, why on earth are you trying again kinda way

Yep I know this treatment all to well.
You're wise to keep your BFP private long as you can imo. So much unwelcome judgements.
