Awesome April 2ww & TTC thread [emoji120]

ABC, I’m so sorry it’s an emotional roller coaster. I have been in the waiting. So hard. Hoping for more good news!!
Praying, my diet was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Made it 2 weeks and then failed miserably. I get you, mama. It’s like eating that way made me the hungriest I’ve ever been.

Mummy, have you discussed progesterone after O bbt rise? I’m just asking bc we had multiple chemicals and added in progesterone on 4dpo and it helped with 2 babies.

Verena - if it were me I'd ask for betas on Monday even if there is a sac because if they are doubling that might give you some extra reassurance. But if you feel that will stress you out more then maybe you shouldn't. FX crossed for Monday!!! So hoping they will see something!! Hannah and Praying4agirl - FX for you too!! Hopefully we see the lines continue to darken soon! Will either of you be able to get betas done?

Mummy it's a tough call but I think you gotta go with whatever your gut is telling you to do. I think that's good that you are on ubiquinol - that's the kind I'm using too. And I definitely think folate is better than folic acid especially for those of us who have had losses.

emshe are you still doing E4D? Are you still getting the flashing smiley? (you're doing dual OPKs yea?) I think you are about a week past finishing Clomid, yea? O should be here soon for sure!!

I had a rough day again on Thursday - cried a ton throughout the day/night. It was like all the sudden all the emotions and sadness of everything hit me really hard again. I'm getting worried about how tired I am - DH thinks it's mostly my emotional state that is making me feel tired but I'm thinking it's part physical as well. Anyways, yesterday was better and today I'm ok, just tired. In happier news - my chromosome test came back normal. So now we're just waiting for DH's chromosome test results and my uterus ultrasound on Monday. Really nervous about the ultrasound. I think all these tests and the stress of waiting for results is really getting to me mentally too.

Has anyone heard from Star?

ABC I’m so glad your chromosome testing was good, hope all goes well tomorrow. Be kind with yourself, it really is tough on you physically and emotionally let alone all the crazy hormones. Let yourself rest, easier said than done I’m hopeless at it but “stuff” can wait, try to take a break here and there for you.

Yeah still flashing smilies. Doing E4D & thinking if I get a fixed tomorrow morning with fmu I might bring bd forward to late pm tomorrow, instead of waiting til the am following day????

I thought about Star last night too, hope she’s doing ok.

Thanks ladies - you all are so sweet. I think I would really be lost without this board and all of you right now!!!

Yea my chromosome results made me feel a bit better. Of course, with each test that comes back normal it makes me worry more about the remaining ones! We'll see - hopefully it will all be ok.

Emshe - on my last cycle (the one I got pregnant on), I had 5 days of flashing smileys and then the peak. So FX you get the solid tomorrow!!! That sounds like a pretty good plan to BD tomorrow night, since you were thinking of adding an attempt at +OPK anyways, yea? If you O on Tuesday (I think it's Sunday right now for you?) then you'd have O-1 and O-3 (or 1-O and 3-O? I never remember how it's supposed to be written!) attempts. And that O-3 was a morning attempt so I think that's pretty good and still pretty "pink friendly"! And definitely good odds of conception. If you wait until Tuesday morning and you O on Tuesday, that attempt may be too late and then you'd have to rely on the O-3 attempt. Eeek come on +OPK!!

Thanks ABC! Decisions and thinking are my biggest pain points in life.

I so agree with the sentiment about these boards, so very grateful for the support, you all rock!
Hell no one understands me in this house...
I’m just the crazy moody lady (If only I could find an emotion off switch)

Hi ladies! I don't know if many (or any) of you remember me. I was TTC back in December but had to delay due to outside issues. I just wanted to pop in and see if anyone has had syptoms and/or experienced anything like I am.

We DTD on the 26th (CD 7) I wasn't temping, charting, or testing, but based on cervical mucus was definitely ovulating or about to. I am now on 12 DPO. Starting on 8 DPO I had twinges, cramping, and pulling on my left side. Since then it's progressed to nausea and almost what feels like illness (which could be, I'm not ruling it out) but my nausea, fatigue, and general feeling of unwellness comes and goes.

I'm sure there really isn't a 100% answer until AF ( expected to start on Tuesday) but I just want to see if anyone has ever felt like this prior to getting a BFP or early on in a pregnancy?

Wishing you all BFPs this month!!

Eighme of course I remember you! Good to hear from you!!! With my last BFP (sadly ended in another m/c), I felt really hot all the time - almost feverish - and fatigued before getting my BFP. But my progesterone was really high - much higher than normal - so I'm sure that was the cause. Are you testing, and if so any squinters or anything? There wouldn't be enough HCG in your system yet to cause those symptoms so it's probably progesterone making you feel that way. But since progesterone goes way up after ovulation whether you are pregnant or not it would be hard to tell whether those symptoms are pregnancy-related until you either get a BFP or AF. But it sounds promising!! The pulling on your left side is interesting too. Please keep us updated and FX for you!!

PS I love your new picture - beautiful family!!

Hi ABC!!! It's so good to see hear from you! I hope you're doing well! I actually took one test today, got a VERY faint line, tested later in the day and it was negative which had me scratching my head. So I'm just anxiously twiddling my thumbs at this point and hoping for the best!

Thanks so much! I am blessed!
