2WW- Anyone waiting with me?

[bluegenie2003]

Anyone else in the 2ww?  I didn't use OPKs this month, but I think I ovulated sometime between the 5th and the 8th. I think it was the 6th that I actually ovulated.  So, I'm going to try to hold out to test until at least this Thursday.  Anyone with me?

Well AF was due yesterday the 22nd and she hasnt shown up as of yet.  I havent been able to get out to buy a hpt because we were hit with 2 snow storms back to back and i've been cooped up in the house since Thursday night.  (going stir crazy)
I'm going out in a little while to finish up my Christmas shopping so i am going to pick one up while i am out and test in the morning.
We will see

I'm out of the wait I had a blood test today and not only am I not pregnant I didn't even ovulate. I will talk to the doctor tomorrow and decide when to start progesterone and clomid again. Bummer. I took7 days of progesterone and it took 3 days before af started last time.

[Atia_Julii]

I just called me RE's office, and apparently because of the holidays, they aren't doing any baseline ultrasounds or starting people on meds yet, so I guess I have to do this cycle on my own.  Maybe it will be a nice break though to be honest.  And maybe not having the stress of constant ultrasounds will help hubby and I to conceive on our own this cycle.  You better believe we'll be trying! :-D

So, I stopped progesterone on Saturday evening, and still no AF.  How long after stopping progesterone does AF usually arrive?  My last cycle it was immediately, but still no AF for me.

[bluegenie2003]

Yeah, last time I saw her I mentioned wanting to start them soon, and she said that the reason most drs have you wait a full year is because insurance doesn't always pay for the tests, and they don't want people to "waste" their money if its going to happen anyway.  But my insurance as far as I know covers tests in full, so I think I'm going to call her after the first of the year and schedule an appointment

[Atia_Julii]

bluegenie - I would definitely talk to your doctor about running tests.  I started talking to my doctor after 6 cycles of TTC. (Of course I told the doc it was a bit longer than that) ;-) I don't have the patience to wait an entire year, just to find out my DH and I probably needed assistance anyway.

I'm sorry bluegenie. I thought for sure we would have a big surprise for Christmas this year. It will happen, we just have to keep trying.

[bluegenie2003]

Well, AF is on her way for me.  I started cramping a few hours ago, and I've started spotting now too.  This is so frustrating!  But, I'm glad that I at least won't have a 5 week cycle like I've had in the past. That would have meant AF would have shown up on Christmas Day!  At least this way it will pretty much be gone by Christmas.  I guess its on to cycle 8 for me.
I think I'm going to talk to my Dr. about getting tests done in January.  I know its supposed to be after a year, but I'm getting so down about this...

[kazwel]

I tested this morning with a Dollar tree hpt.  and i got a bfn.. AF was due today or tomorrow depending on what you consider your 1st day.  i'm not feeling any signs of AF showing, i'm still nausous (sp) and i've had consistant headaches for the last week.  
If no AF i will test again on Wednesday.  
Good luck ladies,
kazwel

hi im wiv u ,lol i ovulated on the 8th dec and im now due on my period on the 24th dec. i did a test  saturday morning not sure if it was to early but it did show negative unfortunatly! im jst finding it so hard to concieve the 2nd time round any advice from any1 on how to  increase ur chances? im using the ovulation calculators and ovullation test kits but still no luck!

[Meadow841]

Well, I'm out. AF just showed up :'(
It's amazing how your body plays tricks on you. I thought for sure something was different this time.

Good luck to the rest of you!! Let us know!

[Meadow841]

Aww I'm sorry! Well, I was reading this poll and there are a lot of people who test negative for awhile. Don't lose hope until AF arrives, that is what I am trying to do because I was a BFN yesterday too.

Here is a site that does pregnancy stats for all pregnant women. A most of them seemed to have tested negative at 15 days PO, check it out:

[Atia_Julii]

I just tested, 15 days post IUI, and I got a BFN.  So, I'm having a good cry right now, and then I need to move ahead to our next IUI cycle.

Thanks for everyone who have been sending me good vibes and praying for me.  It is so appreciated.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

Im still in the 2ww ...im on cycle day 24 and like i said earlier in the week im going to test on the 26th ....after having 2 miscarriages this year already im ready to carry a baby to full term....doctor's found out that the reason i keep loosing them is do to my progestrone level not risen....but im on pills now to hopefully carry to full term if i do get pregnant again....I still have my fingers crossed and if this isnt our month then we will try again next month...I have to keep my hopes up and head held high.......Baby dust to all of you !!!!!

[Atia_Julii]

Thanks, and I hope you just tested too early and get good news before Christmas. I'm so nervous, and trying to keep my mind of of this, but it's VERY hard.

[Meadow841]

Yeah, that is so weird that the symptoms just come and go. I woke up with no symptoms, but after I went to the bathroom, my dull AF ache came back. I couldn't hold out, so I tested this morning and it was BFN. I am CD 29 and the last 3 months my cycle was 26 days. I think AF is coming, but it's just late. Unless by some miracle i'm taking super duper long to implant and that's why the tests are negative, but I think I'm out of the TWW at this point.

Good luck to you!!! I hope you get a BFP tomorrow!!

[Atia_Julii]

I am now 14 days post IUI, and was so tempted to test today, but my doctor (actually, I think it was my nurse) told me to wait until 15 days post IUI to test, so I will wait tomorrow.  It is hard to wait, but at the same time, if I did get a BFN today, I'd be speculating that maybe I simply tested too soon.  (Although ANY test should really pick up HCG by that point)

My AF symptoms subsided yesterday and I don't have them today either.  But I did have them a few days ago, so I'm confused.  All, the bb's were really sore about 4 days ago, and now, nothing.

Please pray for me as I test tomorrow morning.  I will definitely post the results, regardless of what they are.

I've been praying so hard to get a sign from God.  It may sound weird, but I actually prayed that if I am pregnant, to get hit with signs hard.  I would love to be nauseous and throwing up.  I NEVER thought I'd say that!

[Meadow841]

AF ache went away!! I'm so confused!
I've had the weirdest symptoms the last 2 weeks. Tomorrow is approx day 14 past ovulation. But I think AF is coming...I'm in the WORST mood today! lol.

Good luck ladies!

[Tasia32]

Lots of baby dust to you ladies!!!

[crysandjeff]

i'm 13 dpo and got a bfn. i guess i will call dr on monday to start over again. progest and clomid. arggghhh...

[Atia_Julii]

I'm praying for nauseau, which I never thought I'd say!

[Meadow841]

Hello ladies!! no af today!!13 days po. I didn't test though. I had mild dull period ache this morning but it went away. Bbs are big but not really sore. Still hoping to throw up or spot or anything! I feel like I had more pregnancy symptoms last week. I had twinges and nausea/ gagging, gas, fatique. But that all went away. I don't get that.

[Atia_Julii]

Well, good luck to you!  I hope we all get our good news this month.  It would just mean that much more, being right before Christmas and all. :-D

[bluegenie2003]

I'm not 100% positive, since I didn't use OPKs or anything this month (trying not to stress about it as much...I'm not sure if that worked or not!), but I think I'm either 11 or 12 DPO.

[Atia_Julii]

bluegenie - How many days post ovulation are you today?
