Starting 2ww
Posted: 04-05-07 20:30pm

Anyone here starting their 2ww? If so, please post here so we can go through this time together. My ovulation was the 4th and my af is expected the 18th. I am currently in my CD16.
This will be an interesting one. I have been having cramps for 3 days. I don't know if it's still ovulation pain or not. my dh and I did the bd on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th per my doctor. Anyhow, let me know who else...

But I'll be here with you anyways. Are you feeling lucky?

Did the doctor tell you those dates based off an opk or off temping?

Hey! I am 4dpo today I think. My temps have been really screwed up this month after the miscarriage but I did have two positive opk's so I am pretty sure I O'd.

Do you normally get two? I have absolutely no idea how those work. Laughing I thought you only got a positive on the day you ovulate.

Does anyone in their tww have a doctors appt for a blood test? Like, if you haven't started by a certian date do you go in for a test? Or do you wait until you get your bfp to call the doc?

You can get more than one positive opk in a row. The positive opk predicts ovulation. You are supposed to ovulated usually within 2-48 hours of the first positive and sometimes even up to 72 hours later, so it's great to let you know to work a little extra hard with the babydancing.

I am going to the doctor Monday for cd21 bloodwork. I am basically getting my progesterone and all my other hormones checked. I won't go in for a beta, I just want my positive pregnancy test. I am going to wait until I am late this time.

Hi girls! I'm joining in on the 2ww group! I'm 4dpo. This is our 2nd cycle ttc and 2nd month off bcp.
So far the bcps haven't messed with my system too much. Last cycle my temps were REALLY good, +OPKs, raised temps after O. The only downside was a short LF. I only had 9 days before AF came. Not to give TMI, but I understand a "red" AF is good after bcp, compared to brownish. So I won't complain! Laughing
I don't know when to expect AF (for sure) but if I make it past Friday the 13th I'll be doing good. B.T.W whose cruel joke is that anyway...Friday the 13th....lol.
mc4ever02--How is everything going with you? We are at the same stage for stopping bcp, ttc, etc...Are you finding this month any better?I couldn't remember if you are temping? If so, is everything looking good?
Good luck girls!!

Niki-My system is all jacked up! A bled a few days after I went off bcp then agian 8 days later then agian 10 days after that! Laughing I just stopped bleeding on Tuesday. Hopefully this will be the last time I need to worry about it lasting longer that two weeks Laughing Things are looking really positive for you though! ~baby dust~

Negar - welcome to the 2ww. Try to think positively and find something to distract you from the waiting.

I like the happy face ones, too. But they let me down last month. I never got a happy face, but my temp did increase. My dh and I start to bd every other day when I detect cm. So we did get our bding in, anyway.

mc - are you charting your temperature yet? If you already have an ob/gyn who you want to deliver your baby, then that doctor will tell you how soon to come in after a bfp. My doctor said that as long as I was taking my vitamins and everything seemed to be fine, I didn't need to come in until eight weeks. That's about four weeks after a missed af.

You can make a consult appointment anytime during ttc to select your doctor and get advice on ttc. The doctor will tell you during the consult when they'd like your first pre-natal visit.

My cycles are usually 26-28 days long but have been as long as 35 days. I really think we did it this month. I hope we don't get disappointed.

I Hear You

mg22, I know exactly what you mean. I don't know how I will take this dissapointment...
The crazy thing is that if I do get a bfp, I am still set to travel to north carolina on the 21st for my new position with wor, and that terrifies me too. I really want to get my bfp this time, and avoid iui next month. I was so good in detecting my ovulation early and get right on it...
I got my fingers crossed for you and I and everyone else who is in their 2ww. today is my 5dpo...

baby dust all around...

Shortgeek- Yes, I have already had a consultation appt with my ob/gyn. I am taking the prenatals that were prescribed. I have had some previous issues with cysts and that resulted in a laporoscopy. I also have a tipped uterus, high blood pressure, and I also hive a high blood platlet level and will need to discontinue the blood thinners once I become pregnant (we will have to see how my body handles it.) She wants me to call as soon as I get a bfp so that they can monitor me and make sure I don't need to restart taking any of the meds I am on now.

The reason I asked is a coworker was ttc and was going in monthly for a blood test. I was never offered this option and wondered if it was common practice.

I have not began temping yet. My dh wants it do be something that "just happens" He doesn't want it to feel like a "science experiment" (his exact words) Which, believe me, Is very difficult. Additionally, my cycles are so screwy I know that I would just get frustrated trying to temp.

Good luck to all. There seems to be a lot of positive signs going around!

Not that it matters this month or the next two, but I am in my 2ww for af not that bfp. I was having mild cramping yesterday and I took an opk and it was positive. Now I am having even more cramping and when I get home I am going to take another opk. My goal these next three months is to try to better predict my ovulation using the opk, cm, and temping. I have been temping this cycle and I just don't know what to make of it at all. It's kinda confusing. Also yesterday I had some slightly watery ewcm and today it seems to be the same. So who knows what's going on with me.

Good luck to all of you in your tww.

So I caved...I took a test yesterday morning. BFN. I don't know why I'm disappointed. There was really no way it could have been a BFP. So I guess it really was just a stomach bug. Sad

Anyways...who is next to test?

Sorry Mc
Posted: 04-12-07 23:40pm

BFN is always a dissapointed and I am sorry you had to go through that. I am in my 8dpo and just today I started getting slightly soar boobs. I have been experiencing strange off and on cramping but that is not very unusual for me, so I am not letting that be a factor as far as symptoms go. tonight I have a headache in my right side of my head a face and that is making me sick in my stomach. It feels like a migrane. I dont know. I dont think any of these relate to being pregnant. My Af is not due til next Wed.... Shocked
How is everyone else doing?
MG, did you get your results?

Oh My God
Posted: 04-13-07 02:54am

you guys I just woke up andi it is 12:30 am. I just got a feeling. my bbs are actually getting more soar (and that does not usually happen)?and I didn't eat anything to make me feel sick in my stomach yet I am still not feeling right. All very slight, but this feeling just crawled in me...even though I have been very pesemistic. Ok, so slightly soar boobs, headache, little strange cramps(gassy and af like) on and off, moody, feeling a little nasea. The only thing that is throwing me off is that my cm is very dry!!! up til yesterday I had creamy like!! Oh gosh I dont know...

That sounds really positive. Are you going to wait until your due, or test ahead of time?
