Thank you everyone for your kind words!! I finally caught up on some much needed sleep and I feel a lot more tolerant of everyone. My cat pumpkin finally came home - well I spotted her in the neighbors backyard and went over to ask if I could drag her furry self back home. Turns out she has a bf that's been following her everywhere. Finally feeling at peace.

Clarabelle31: I saw a really neat board post format on another forum. They lists users in categories, and as your information updates, you just copy and amend the list, then paste it into your post. I think it's a great way for us all to see at a glance where everyone is at in their cycle and we can track how many BFPs we get each month :)

I've started the list below. When you get a BFP, please put in your EDD!

Abbreviations list as follows:
TTC - Trying to conceive
TWB - Two weeks before
TWW - Two week wait

BFP

purelex: Guess what? My temp spiked up today and generated a high coverline at 98.1 which is probably too high. I was up late studying last night and not sure if I should use this temp. Anyways, my doc’s session went well considering it was a very popular fertility clinic. We actually got to sit and discuss the options with the RE. She has started to check my hormones and recommended to cut down coffee to 1 cup along with prenatal vitamins of min. 400 mcg Folic acid. Both DH and myself would be tested for any genetic disorders. 3 options would be Clomid with Timed Intercourse , IUI and last option of IVF which is super expensive. So, it is good to know we have some options and we will be starting next cycle if this month doesn’t work out. That’s our plan. How about you?

clarabelle31: I think we are still cycle buddies. What is HCG trigger? It that to make you ovulate? I see that you tested at 7dpo which might be too early. I think on average some ladies get their first bfp at 10dpo. Hang in there and hopefully you will get your in a couple of days. I am trying to hold back till CD40 to avoid the disappointment of going from to if I can. Once af is due, I can start building my hopes.

Margie_M: I hope your IUI this month will do the job and you get your this month. Do the RE provide any meds. To boost implantation? I am just curious. Are you planning to take vacation during that time or try bed rest. I think some girls go for bed rest for IVF cycles. I might be following you soon so wondering. IVF for March seems reasonable since it would be the last chance to have a baby in 2016. We will be doing the same. I am praying that we both wouldn’t need to go that far and get lucky this cycle with a . Also, did you BD before IUI as my RE recommended that we should just to boost the chances?

You are absolutely correct about the early symptoms due to the hormonal changes even before implantation. That does make sense!

MrsRabren: Welcome to the TWW and hope you get your this month! About simplifying the O-date puzzle, CB purple advanced digital opk is very accurate and gives you few high days and 2 peak days. I am thankful to that for I ovulated on cd12 which is much earlier than my prev. cycles and we did not miss out on the BD part this month.

Lalou3tt3: Good to see that your feeling better! O date is hard to pinpoint to one date. I am going with the first peak date as my O date as predicted with the CB digital advanced opk. Cramps and headaches are quite early symptoms for most ladies. I have been having mild cramps and aching legs myself but trying hard to not symptom spot. I don’t think its working for me… Lol! Trying to stay positive and rooting for both our this month!!!

calvingirl: I am in the same boat as you and totally understand the line, “empty arms ache every day.” It is excruciating pain!!! I am also thinking of joining a support group and see if meeting people in the same situation help some. Also, twins sound like a blessing to me too. Just want a !!! I am praying for both of us to get the precious this month and that stays far far away.

Contemplating: Good luck for the early US! I wish you all the luck in the world for a sticky baby bean!!!

gettinby2005: Good luck for your IUI cycle!!! I have always heard of Clomid but not femara. Does it work the same way as Clomid? Hope you get your this month!

Dswietek: I totally understand your pain. I had one of the 40 day cycles and it was a roller coaster ride of emotions. I am following the same path to hold out to cd40, if af shows move on to our next plan of trying Clomid and if not (hopefully this happens) I POAS and get . I hope you get your too… hang in there! We are all here going through the same and here to support and rant out together.

Shananabooboo: Welcome to the TWW! Any new symptoms?

WishingforViolet: I love this idea of pasting making it easy to keep track. Thanks dear! Brilliant idea!!! Any new symptoms for you? I think I am just one day behind you.

Wishing everyone waiting to test Welcome again to all the new members! Lets get this forum flooded with !!!!!!

BFP

Well, ladies, I caved & took a pregnancy test on Sunday which I thought I was 8 DPO. It was negative. However, I was showing all signs of ovulation this weekend, I decided to take a ovulation test (again) just to be sure, it was a very very strong positive.
I am not sure if the Pregnitude could made me have a false positive earlier in the month or if I just thought it was a positive even though it wasn't.. but I trust this test not only because it was a clear positive but also because of the signs I am having. (ovulation pain, fertile discharge, etc) Fortunately the husband & I did not slack in the bedding. So I feel like this month isn't out. Sadly it does mean I have to start over this TWW. I pray this will be my last TWW for a while. :)

I can't wait to start seeing BFPs from all you ladies.

BFP

Hi ladies, sorry I've been quiet. Had a nice weekend away with my hubby (who now has a man cold) and ready to get back into routine this week.
I kept temping while I was away but not sure how accurate anything was since my sleep was out of whack. Guess we'll see. Countdown gave me a coverline last week on cycle day 19 of 97.8. Not sure if that is normal or not. I think this month I will just continue and see if my temp drops before AF and save my tests. Have zero symptoms so will try to wait it out.
Ladies!

to everyone in the TWW

AFM - Just a quick update. Everything when fine over the weekend still no morning sickness. I have finally stopped POS, I did until the test line was identical to the other line. Going to keep a few in case I get spotting and I want to check HCG is still okay. Just waiting for our scan on the 13th Oct to confirm everything is okay and hopefully to hear results of my blood tests today!

Yay this is a good idea so we can see where everyone is at!! My temp finally rose today. I started temping just to know my body better as I haven't been ttc for too long. I either O'd on the 24th or 25th, but we bd a lot just to cover my bases. I have a thyroid condition called Hashimotos disease, but I have been on medication since I was 14. If we don't get pg this month, I will go to the RE. Luckily because I already have this condition I don't have to wait a year of ttc before I can go.

1 dpo- no temp rise or anything
2 dpo- sore bbs BUT this is normal for me any ways
3 dpo- rise in temp, pee a lot (I also drank a lot of water haha), weird dream

My obgyn said that women could have "symptoms" early because of fertilization. Not pregnancy symptoms per-say but hormonal imbalance symptoms so this is good news for us!

Hello ladies,

MMcali I totally feel you. I mean I caved in and tested on Sunday and I got some negative and yesterday I got a positive OPK and now the blue dotted line on my BBT chart says that I could have ovulated yesterday or 2 days ago. And DH and I have not been BBT so much lately. But i still believe that I ovulated when I thought. Anyway, I am happy that you are still keeping up strong. Let s hope for that soon

dsinha you really took the time to write to everyone that is so nice of you FX this month

jbean let sstay positive to you

shanaboobo i was diagnosed with Hashimoto as well. My tests are showing normals levels now but I am sure it is one of the reasons why I have PCOs as well. Stay positive

Luna congrats on your previous babies, let s hope for more

Dswietek I am trying with clomid this month. "other some spotting and cramps everything was fine. Hope you got that this month though

contemplating sticky bean you are due on my birthday , I am thinking you will have a girl ? What do you think?

Wishing for Violet I am glad you found your cat on tww and hope for that and awesome ideas.

AFM I am still testing . I thought i saw a shadow line again today. I am being crazy lol? Anyway , I am staying positive. We should all get and get those gemini babies (I am a gemini :-)

See a lot of you on the TWW. Can't wait to see some BFPs in the next week or two!

AFM: AF just started today when I was two hours late yesterday for my bc pill, so I'm just going with it and stopped taking them. My body obviously wants to start a cycle (I'm on seasonique so normally AF is suppressed). I was planning on stopping them in the next three weeks anyway, but I keep reading stories about how long it takes for body to start ovulating again after seasonique, that it's got me all freaked out.

My DH thinks we're going to get BFP really fast, but it took us almost a year last time and I'm 40 now. I just don't take fertility for granted like he does. There are too many of us on here and other places that have tried for years.

Good luck to all and lots of

I think I'll start testing tomorrow, cause I have loads of cheap tests!
