TWW for August

[joal]

If there is already a thread going and I missed it, sorry. So who is in the wait and how's it going? Symptoms, trying anything new, etc?

I am 9 dpo, nothing out of the ordinary except for a little bloody discharge yesterday, AF is due Friday so I should be able to convince myself of a few symptoms before then, lol.

[ita17]

I'm in officially today!  Had my 2nd IUI this AM & ovulation was confirmed :)

Have you taken an HPT?  Funny, & this just might change, but I have no desire  to take one early this month.......which is VERY strange for me!!!  Last month I took probably 15!  I was taking them early to see when my trigger was out, then I took them almost DAILY til 13DPO, by then I KNEW I wasn't prego :(

Were you on meds this cycle?  Or natural?

[joal]

That is great news! Sprinkling baby dust on you!

I won't take a test anymore unless I am late, it's so depressing seeing the BFN every month. I am natural, as far as I know I am alright but if nothing happens by the end of next month my Dr wants me back for testing.

[usuk]

i'm on a little less that the 2ww. i take hcg booster on 6 DPO so if I test before day 11 or 11 it will be false positive. so it forces self control. good luck.

[ita17]

Good luck!  Question for ya.............Why do the they give you the "boost" for???  & yeah, that would give you control!

[selaiwa]

Hi ladies I would love to join you.I am 5 dpo and ttc naturally.I took clomid before and am now on a break from it.So far my temps look really good.Today they are at 98.42. As for testing, I am going to try not to poas till August 13th.That is when Af is due to arrive and it will also be my birthday. Baby dust to all!!!

[Miranda9]

Hello ladies, count me in.  I ttc naturally and based on monitoring by my Dr, I ovulated either last Wednesday or Thursday.  Beta test on Aug. 13.  I'm now on blood thinning injections, progesterone and baby aspirin. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!

[magnolia55]

I am sort of waiting. It was too difficult to take my temperature on a family holiday, but I'll pretend. I told selaiwa that I rode too many rollercoasters for implantation to be possible, but I didn't want an Aries baby anyway! I think I am 7 DPO and there is always the chance, right???

[selaiwa]

Magnolia-You never know about those rollercoasters.It just might of been just what you needed for implantation.
Miranda9- Good luck on your beta!
Right now I am ready to try anything.Since I don't have fertile cm ,This month I experimented with oils.(pure mineral and canola).Fun and messy at the same time.It was a little scary though because I am just hoping that I didn't waste a cycle ttc.
******************************************** Baby dust*******************************************

[magnolia55]

I tried to get DH to make some detours while we were in the states so that I could get Pre-seed, but he wouldn't allow any pit stops. If Canola is "messy" he will vito that idea, so I guess its Robitussin for me.

[Pum]

I'm in the 2ww again but again am pretty sure it's not this month.

[joal]

Selaiwa I hope you get a great birthday present and hopefully Miranda will be celebrating with you! ;)

Magnolia55, I am LMAO at the aries comment, I am an aries and with my luck this will be my month and my mother will get the payback she has been wishing on me for the last 35 years.

[selaiwa]

Good morning ladies,
   Today I am 6dpo. My temp went down .5 today.I am hoping that it is an implantation dip and that it goes back up. I am cramping quite a bit today and feeling really tired. I hate the TWW!
  Okay, so now I want to know about the Aries sign.What's the trademark personality of someone born as an Aries? Just in case I get a bfp.(LOL)

[selaiwa]

Okay ladies, I did some googling and here is what I found out about having an Aries child;
  For those with an Aries child, you have a child with confidence and the innate resources to deal with new ideas and situations.  This child is likely quite opinionated and is often territorial about possessions.  This kid will tell you like it is according to their own inner truths, and will not feel bad about it later.  These are the free birds of childhood, and they feel that they have the right to explore new territories unhindered, both physical and mental.  Getting a child like this to follow the rules may be a challenge, but if they understand that the rule is for safety or other logical reasons, they are likely to agree and comply.  Even when young, all Arians are very competitive and cannot stand it if they do not come out on top.  This "me first" attitude will be evident throughout life, and they often get what they want simply because of this unshakable attitude.  The Arian child is very active, jumping into action whenever something interests him, but when asked to do uninteresting mundane tasks like cleaning their room they will resort to procrastination and even lies to get out of doing this unappealing job.  The Aries child will have problems in school occasionally, but their competitive nature will usually pull them through.  They want  more than anything to be Number One!

OMG!!!!  Joal- Your mother probably would probably laugh her butt off if you got an Aries child.

[joal]

I hope that was a drop due to implantation.

My mom would love it, lol. My fear is having a Leo girl. I get along great with Leos, my sister is one, but that girl can manipulate almost anyone to do what she wants and if she doesn't get her way LOOK OUT!!!

[udbe2]

I would like to join in if I may.  I'm now officially on my tww.  Confirmed with OPK, body signs and cervical position.  I'm ttc naturally after 7 m/c and over 14 yrs of unexplained infertility.  RE wants to try a few cycles before having me see another RE in the office to see if they have any thoughts.  Was never able to conceive until 3rd HSG and now I'm able to get pregnant just not carry past 9 wks.   If BFP this cycle I will be put on prometrium and heprin shots right away.  If this doesn't work RE is suggesting surrogate mother or IVF Embryo transfer while altering my bodies chemistry.  

[joal]

Good luck to you! That must be very difficult for you to go through, it shows how truely strong you are. I wish you lots of sticky baby dust!  If you get a BFP is this the first time they are going to try the shots? I was reading somewhere on here about meds to help woman who miscarrry a lot but I can't remember what they were or where I saw it. They are probaby the same ones you mentioned but I thought I would mention it incase you wanted to look for them on here and see if they are the same. :)

[udbe2]

This will be the first time trying the heprin shots if I get a BFP.   I've been on the prometrium before with the time I got pregnant back in Nov last year.  My BHCG never doubled but we kept hoping for a miracle that didn't happen.   Currently I take a prenatal, 400 mg extra folic acid w/ vitamin B complex and  500 mg B12 oh and a baby asprin daily.   Even though all of my blood work has came back normal there are so many other disorders that they can't test for them all so it is trial and hopefully no errors for the next one.  

Do you have any children or are you trying for your first?  

[lachelle72]

hello,

i had my iui a week ago today.  I never thought the wait would be this hard.  I go tomorrow to take progesterone blood test.  Af is suppose to be here by saturday so I am nervous excited and feel like I am going crazy.  I dont take my pregnancy blood test til 08/13/09 THAT SEEMS SO FAR AWAY.  I bought the clear blue easy 5 day early digital and two hpt from the dollor store but i am afraid to use them.  I would like to take a htp on saturday if Af doesnt show.  I have been having mild cramping since iui and my boobs look fuller or am i just truky going crazy.

I AM GLUED TO THIS SITE LIKE CRAZY      

[udbe2]

I'll keep my fingers crossed and pray for you to get a BFP.   I know it's so hard to not take a test.  I have so many of them at the house my husband told me I should buy stock in the company.  I've never tried IUI so I'm not sure about the process.  I've heard about the trigger shots and how if you test too early the HCG is in your system so it will show up positive.  

Hoping for a BFP for you and sending some sticky baby dust your way.  

[selaiwa]

Joal- Glad to hear that you get along with Leo's. I just happen to be one!! So, maybe having an Aries child would be a good thing. I have 2 boys and I need a girl.Every time I go shopping I look at the little girls section.Their stuff is just too cute!!
lachelle72 and udbe2- Welcome aboard!! Good luck to both of you!!

[joal]

Selaiwa, LOL, I should have guessed it, keep at it and you will get your girl, Leo's always get their way! It looks like the 13th is going to be an important day for yet a third person. If I end up missing AF this Friday maybe I will wait until then to test. :)

Udbe2, I am trying for my first. I hope the Heprin does the trick for you!

[Miranda9]

Udbe2 - I'm so sorry to hear of your losses.  I really, really hope that your current protocol will help you sustain a pregnancy.  I've had 3 losses and am now on fragmin injections - I think it's the same as your heparin - to prevent blood clots.  My bloodwork showed I have some antibodies that may have contributed to my losses.

Joal and others - let's all envision BFPs on the 13th!!  PS - I'm a water sign but would gladly welcome an Aries baby:)

[magnolia55]

I also read somewhere that Aries children are prone to excessive temper tantrums!

[udbe2]

I'm not sure what day will be my lucky day.  Sometimes I'm anywhere from 24 - 28 days so I usually don't start testing until day 26.  lol  

Miranda:  I'm hoping the heparin does work too.  They ran all of the test and I came back negative for the blood clotting disorder but my RE told me that the test doesn't include all of them that are out there so they are trying a mixture of things to see what may work for me.  

I'm not sure about Aries children having tantrums but my husband is a Gemini and he has tantrums all of the time.   I'm a Libra and people have told me they can definitely tell I'm a libra.  

Praying for lots of sticky baby dust for you all on the 13th.
