Amazing August 2WW Thread

[momamia4]

I don't think my body is going to let me get pregnant this cycle. I can tell that I'm definitely ovulating today but I haven't gotten a +opk. I would have had to have gotten up in the middle of the night (like 3am) to get a positive. I have a very short surge and typically catch it at night before bed. My cervix isn't even open though - it's firm and high, the same as it's been this whole cycle. So, I guess my body wanted an extra month to adjust after the miscarriage. It's ok though because if I would have gotten pregnant this month, I would have been due on May 13th, and that's too close to my other kids' birthdays. It also gives me longer to keep losing weight and be on the diet which is really important to me this time.

Awesome attitude momamia !

I am now about 4-5dpo, I haven't been able to replace my thermometer so I don't know about my temp... so, just waiting.

I have had an increase of CM and some cramping/lower back cramps today. This is only our first month ttc, but I've been on the diet forever. Like you ladies said, if it's a BFN it mean more time to work on my sway.

I will probably break down and test starting 8dpo

Hi this is my first post in the 2ww thread it's my third attempt for baby no5! I think I'm 1/2dpo and already symptom spotting it's going to be a long couple of wks. I completely stressed myself out last month so hoping to hold it together this cycle I'm trying to hold out testing as long as possible as last time I was so stressed testing from like 6dpo several times of day I ended up going off the diet but I'm probably calmer this cycle as I'm not as desperate to big pregnant my sway hasn't been very good this time so part of me hopes its bfn and I will have a better sway next month so either way I'll be happy but I just hate the not knowing part lol!

Welcome bre_cooper & team-armo! FX for both of you!

I think I'm 3dpo. My doctor adjusted my thyroid meds, so I'm a hormonal wreck. I'm in a really cranky mood today. My sister in Arizona sent a text message at 6am our time and it woke me up. I tried to fall back to sleep and finally dozed off at 7:30am, right when my husband decided to let out the biggest, loudest snore ever! I gave up trying to go back to sleep. I'm also in an argument with my neighbor about the fence she's trying to build that extends into my front yard. To top it off, I have an insanely busy day driving all over Timbuktu for various appointments and taking DS1 to and from driver's training. I'm just waiting for today to be over. I don't think it helps that I'm extremely nervous about my appointment with my fertility specialist. I'm not sure what he's going to say and that really stresses me out. Also, this Thursday is my DS3's birthday. He would be 12 years old this year. He died when he was 15 weeks old. I'm always a little more on edge in the week leading up to his birthday.

Welcome bre_cooper and team-armo! Good luck to you both. I told myself to wait as long as possible to test because I find that keeping hope alive is calming to me. It isn't easy of course. I am finding this month that I am equally nervous/anxious waiting to ovulate because I am month 1 on clomid and afraid I will miss my surge since I know clomid changes the cycle. Trying to just find things to keep my mind occupied.

Momamia hope you feel better soon. Sounds like a very stressful time for you. I am sorry that this week is especially tough because it is DS3 birthday. [emoji17]

Yay Bre!! I'm SO glad you're back!!

Welcome Team-armo!!

AFM, I'm FINALLY gearing up to ovulate and got a positive opk today on a Wondfo and a CBD. We are going to BD tonight and again in three days- we are doing E3D. This will be our last month TTCing- I'm ready to be done and enjoy my kids! I'm hoping the person I feel I haven't met yet comes to me in a friend, girlfriend, or future child of one of my kids.

FX and GL ladies to those that are about to test!!

girliecat - clomid fixed my cycle by making it 'normal'..i got a positive OPK on CD 14 with angela...FX and i would start testing on CD 10 to be on safe side...

mia - that sounds so tough. i am so sorry and im sure this time of year is painful and hard.

[bre_cooper11]

Fingers crossed XX, how fun it would be to concieve the same cycle!! So exciting and you can have ALL OF MY PINK DUST!!

Momamia4, I am so sorry your day looks like this, today! We are trying for no5, too! & Truly sorry about the loss of DS3... I can't imagine. Big hugs.

Thanks Girliecat!
I've been a bit of crap in this 2ww (not completely but mostly life kinda getting in the way). i didn't think keeping up swaying factors would be so super hard in the 2ww!!! I think the sooner I know it will help kick my butt back into full gear.

GL ladies!!

Thanks ladies! My appointment with my fertility specialist went really well. He said there isn't anything that showed up in the testing to indicate a reason for the miscarriages. He wants to see if I am having something hormonally going on that's causing a problem. He said late ovulation can cause a miscarriage if the egg is too old. He wants me to go in around cd12-14 next cycle for an ultrasound to see if I have an egg that's about 20mm aka about to ovulate. If I don't (which I know I won't) he wants to do injectables the next cycle. He said he doesn't see any reason to try Femara first because it typically doesn't do anything for women who don't have PCOS, and especially since I didn't get pregnant on the 6 cycles of Clomid. I'm pretty excited about the injectables. I know there is an increased risk of multiples, but I don't really mind that. I'm so happy to finally be able to move forward!
