February 2WW

[maidentomother]

Nope was hoping to see a temp rise this morning but didn't happen. I would like to attempt again but we'll see if it's possible.

This is EXACTLY what happened last time I went off Vitex...O occured on CD22 the following cycle. I'm on CD22 today! And I did have finally get a blaring OPK and Peak yesterday. I had bad O pain last night, too. Grr.

Maybe I will conceive with my one O-4 attempt. But like XX I can't even imagine a BFP at this point.

Junie, your chart IS strikingly similar. Based on that you should O tomorrow. Come on eggy!

Thanks, Maiden!

I tested today, just for fun really since I'm only 7dpo. Unsurprisingly negative. lol

Been having issues I only seem to have when hugely pregnant, but none of my usual early signs. Bear in mind I shocked a dr. once when I told him I was pregnant, but needed an official test. He thought I was bonkers when he asked me how late my period was & I told him it wasn't due yet. Test was positive.(that was ds2).

90+% of me thinks I am & is just hoping it's a girl. The rest of me thinks that it's so unlikely as to be impossible, on both fronts.

Oh no tarasue! I was so optimistic for you this cycle- and the next! Don't give up, I know exactly how you are feeling, like this journey has been long enough and with the loss thrown in there, it so difficult to find any strength to move forward and keep trying. I am sending you a big hug[emoji169]

Fivebabies, wow, that's a lot to go through. At least you have very clear signs to pinpoint o!

Emilee, *hugs*. Several times in my life I have had to surrender my own timeline ideas to follow God's timeline (or whatever higher power you believe in), and His planning is usually better anyway even though I can't understand why at the time. I am curious what type of dr you went to see?

Tarasue, at least you know you can get pregnant. Keep trying and a bean is bound to stick around sooner or later! I had 2 periods after my early m/c (5-1/2 weeks) and then a bfp. I wouldn't sweat the 5lbs, or rather maybe you will in warmer weather. Isn't that in the range for water weight? It's not much, not worth the worry. It's probably from the m/c.

Maiden, *hugs*! If I remember, you had other reasons to be mad at your mother besides her age. I know 2 separate women who had their first at age 40, and turned out to be great moms. I think it keeps them young. That said, I hope to be done much sooner, but that's because of the extra risks in pregnancy and newborn nights. Your child will not hate you just because of your age. Blame them for not showing up sooner, lol!

Junie, your chart looks good! It's interesting to compare and see how you get that early peak. Does that happen every cycle?

My update: What's going on with my temp?! I didn't expect a rise until Sunday. It's very predictable, opk+ then 2 days later the rise. Maybe my changes this cycle did something? Maybe this change is what we need for a bfp? Or maybe our bding is off now since it was so close. How much time do the swimmers need to get up there? I can't blame this on sleep because dd has been sleeping amazingly well. Your thoughts?

And I just want to add how much I love this group. You're all so supportive and sweet. And give me much more info than that dr did! I love each one of you and hope we all get our babies soon <3

[Junie]

Maiden- I think you're right. I had EWCM finally! So hoping this is it! I hope it is possible for you to attempt again so you have better chances for your BFP!
Blue- I think you should trust your instincts! Hopefully you get two lines in a few days!
Sage- To me that temp jump is great!! Plus your timing is so boyfriendly!! I hope you get a nice big BFP in a little bit.

So I'm thrilled that it looks like I will O today or tomorrow and DH and I will have a chance this cycle, but I have to admit I feel like I have already been waiting SO long that it sucks to have to wait at least another week and a half to know if this cycle will be a bust or not. Does anyone have any good strategies for dealing with all the waiting?

[2boysJustOneGirl]

Junie the best way I deal with waiting is staying off the forum and focusing on something else-anything! Baking, shopping- whatever!

I know for me, and many others after miscarriage, your "cycle" can be very, very screwed up. I had what I thought was O pains and was definitely EWCM about 3 weeks after my loss and AF showed up a few days later.
I want to help prepare you for the worst- but I am hoping for the best for you! It can and does happen and I hope you are one of the lucky ones to prove it

Thanks 2boys!!! I will try not to get my hopes up thankfully temping helps keep me from getting too excited. I will try to stay busy! My hubby will be out of town so that doesn't help but I'll try some new books.

Well I am hoping that one of you ladies will get a BFP!

AF showed up for me too. It looks like I am cycling with Tarasue. My cycles have gone back to what they were before having kids- 23-28 day cycles with 24-26 being the average. I also am having NO PMS, which is great and contribute to acupuncture as well. I am taking this as a FANTASTIC sign that this ship is getting turned around! I am surprisingly at peace with this and am looking forward to changing some things up a bit for this cycle.

GL to those waiting to test! I am selfishly hoping one of you at least gets a BFP so you can pass me some of your leftover baby dust [emoji6]

This is my first 2WW since being off BC in October! I, of course, made an appointment with an OBGYN on Monday after a 120+CD and sure enough that ended up being the day I think I O'ed. I'm still going to go next week just to get some tests done and talk to them about it. I'm hoping that it was just coming off my Seasonale BC that caused the delayed O. I don't think we BD'ed nearly enough to be in the running for a BFP, but I'm just excited to finally be in 2WW!

I also had a big dip yesterday, but I'm thinking it might have been Corpus Leutum dip? Anyone else experience this?
