Let it out ladies!! This is the place for your TWW vents and frustrations. Phantom signs? Implantation dips? Dreams? Spotting? Lay it all out here!

I'm here through this week. 11 DPO today and beta draw is Saturday (4th). I did test yesterday (BFN) just to make sure drinking at my cousin's wedding wasn't a complete no no. I didn't expect a positive so NBD. Progesterone is making me dizzy though. Other than that just waiting.

I have something else but I'll wait until I'm on computer to add trigger warning just to be careful. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday Monday.

Fx beachdreamer !! That beta seems so far away (I'm sure more for you than me, ha)!

[beachdreamer]

wannabmama, today it doesn't seem so far but ask me again Thursday. Lol We're on the road all day tomorrow; then Wednesday will be getting settled back home plus a couple of appintments...so we're busy enough to keep me from thinking too much. Plus I'm chalking everything up to progesterone at this point! Right now I'm considering not testing again until I go for betas. I am betting that willpower fades.

[beachdreamer]

Actually I have a question for those of you who have been on progesterone. Will I not start CD1 until I stop taking it? Curious how that works. My suppositories have a red coating so I am not sure I would notice any spotting...that got me thinking that maybe the progesterone forces your cycle to continue past when it normally would.

[wannabmama]

beachdreamer I think generally the progesterone will postpone your period, but some people get it while still on them. I think it just depends a bit.

I'm still here with you beachdreamer and fx for your betas.
I got off the train at the last stop. I got 2 BFN while camping, cervix was still high but it's dropping. Usually I'm low and spotting at this point. I'm cd23, usually I have a 24 day cycle so it's a little off.
I did add maca root and Royal jelly to my supliments so I'm thinking that has thrown off my cycle.
Don't think I will test again and will just wait for AF.

Good luck to anyone else in the tww.

[wannabmama]

hooligans4 I'm sorry for the BFNs but I hope you had fun camping!
I added royal jelly and maca too. I have no idea if they do anything, but maca seems to increase my sex drive...or its psychosomatic. Either way, I'll stick with it for now. I'm curious if there's any difference she we finally do IVF again.

[hooligans4]

wannabmama we had a great time camping, thanks.
My sex drive is pretty high normally so I don't think that it's any more than usual. I guess I will have to wait another cycle to see if it is going to change my cycle length. I know it's supposed to help regulate hormone levels and my cycles are pretty short , 21-24 days usually. I usually give new things three cycles before I stop taking it.
I guess we shall see what happens.

beachdreamer, FX for you! Sorry about the BFN, hooligans4.

I'm here at what I'm estimating to be 4DPO. This cycle has been strange. I got a +OPK last Tuesday but did not get a temp rise until Saturday (my temps have been strange this whole cycle). On all of my natural cycles before, I used to get a temp rise within 2 days of a +OPK. I also O'd a little later than I used to during natural cycles. I'm wondering if my cycle got thrown off a bit being a natural cycle after 4 medicated ones. I had a slight bit of optimism this cycle since I had the HSG and I know it can sometimes increase the odds of pregnancy for the first few cycles after. But then between vacation, where we were sharing a room with DD and then being sick right after we returned, I *think* we may have hit one day during FW, though it may have been none if my estimated O date was wrong.
I think I need to look in to maca root if it could increase sex drive. I have had a real issue with that for a few years. Anything that could possibly help would be appreciated, especially by MH!

What I originally wanted to put here was that while visiting family this weekend my SIL (brother's wife) announced she's 8 weeks pregnant. I am actually very happy for them. They started trying about the same time we did.

Now I have more to add. This morning I got a definite positive on a CB Easy and a faint positive on a wondfo. I'm cautiously optimistic...anxiously awaiting what betas say Saturday a.m. I was going to wait but H kept asking me when I was going to test.

That is so awesome, beachdreamer! I am so happy for you!!!

[wannabmama]

Ahhhh beachdreamer I've got it all crossed for you!!! I'm so excited for you!
