Let's go ladies. This is the place you can talk about all the craziness that comes with the dreaded two week wait. Phantom symptoms, implantation dips and possible spotting, what you are doing to make the time fly by, and much much more. Post as often or as little as you want. We are here for you. Chart stalks available upon request or if there is a link, we may look just to pass the time or out of curiosity. Gifs are also welcome!

GTKY: If you could make one change in your life by snapping your fingers what would you change?

[sleepymonkey]

I'm here at 5 or 6 DPO. I kind of feel in limbo here coming off my first medicated cycle. It's just been kind of weird. Trigger was last Monday morning so RE said TI should be 36 hours later on Tuesday night. I felt more of my normal O symptoms on Wednesday so I think I O'd then. But mt temp didn't rise until Friday. And I never got any EWCM this cycle, which is odd for me. I was feeling slight pain in my left ovary from Wednesday night until yesterday when it turned into just a general minor discomfort in my lower abdomen. There is a part of me that worries that the meds messed with ovulation, which really sucks because I O on my own. And I only got 1 mature follicle from 5mg Femara so I kind of wonder what was the point? I guess all I can do is just sit and wait for the next week.

GTKY: I would change my financial responsibility (or lack of). While we have a small savings and I contribute to a 401k, we are no where where we think we should be in saving for the future. We make what should be a comfortable living and should have the means to save more than we do. But the biggest issue is me and my love for nice, new things. I wish I could be a little more frugal so we could be more financially secure.

sleepymonkey , I barely had any EWCM this month, and that's not usual for me either. I'm sorry the medicated cycle has left you frustrated and just as confusing (if not moreso) as your natural cycle. I'm still crossing my fingers for you that it worked.

I'm sitting here at 9 DPO. I don't have any of my usual post O symptoms (sore boobs, upset tummy, etc) this cycle so it's kind of weird. If anything, it's really helping me stay off the crazy train because there's nothing to think about. It does make me wonder if I ovulated later than both FF and I thought. No matter what, I'm testing Friday morning. I have a dentist appointment in the afternoon and I want to know if I feel comfortable taking my usual meds before I go. I should be 13 DPO then. Even if it's BFN, I'm staying away from the gas, just in case of a false negative (like maybe only being 11 DPO or something). Dentist appointments are a big ordeal for me  so I'm used to being a bit out of it.

sleepymonkey I felt like the meds were messing with my timing too when I did IUIs. I know the meds can mess with temps so it isn't as accurate but my signs all seemed to point to O dates that weren't right for the ideal timing. I hope you guys hit ok timing!
beachdreamer sending a hug for the dentist. I used to have really horrible dentist experiences. It's gotten better with my new dentist but I do sympathize with it being a bigger deal than it is for most people. Of course...I hope you can't take any meds bc you've got a BFP!

[sleepymonkey]

beachdreamer, I have always hated going to the dentist. I actually hate having my teeth cleaned more than getting a cavity filled, which is so weird. The scraping, picking, and gritty toothpaste are just too much for me.

wannabmama, yeah the meds did strange things and it made me not have too much confidence in them. And with only producing 1 mature follicle and 1 smaller follicle, I'm left wondering if they were worth it. Like did the meds do anything that I don't do on my own, other than making O occur days earlier than normal? I wish I could just trust the process but I don't completely.

[beachdreamer]

Thanks for the good dental vibes. I usually take a Xanax beforehand, and then I get the gas when I'm there. My dentist is super super nice (and patient). I just gag horribly. For a filling, I even have to get put under. Thankfully it's just a cleaning Friday. We've gone to quarterly cleanings hoping that will (1) help desensitize me a bit to help with the nerves (nerves just make the gagging worse) and (2) less time for things to build up means hopefully less time she has to spend with utensils in my mouth.

Just sticking my toe on the train to say I will be oing today or tomorrow but had a huge fight with DH over where we were going for Super Bowl, so sex is definitely not happening.
I just was wondering if anyone else gets crazy during o time. I have noticed it a few months now.
Our fight blew up because I was feeling particularly ragey (don't think that is even a word) and didn't want to spend the night with friends of his that I don't like. We had another party to go to that had a bunch of people that we both like. anyhoo I was a bit of a bitch and he was an asshole!!!!
So my ovulation rage has pretty much ruined my chances this month.
I will cheer my fellow 2wwers on though.
Go team go!!!!!

[wannabmama]

hooligans4 I always joke with MH that he gets ragey when I O...he's nearly ruined our chances a bunch of times. We usually manage to get one in close by despite a fight or pouting session...but sometimes I've had to let it go being a couple days before and that's it. Sorry you guys had it out, that's never fun for anyone!

[beachdreamer]

I don't get ragey, but I definitely get other symptoms that I get right before AF arrives. I might be a little more moody but not necessarily angry. It's weird.

[sleepymonkey]

I'm supposedly 8DPO and have absolutely none of my normal pre-AF symptoms. So now I'm really starting to wonder if I actually O'd when I should have. I got my progesterone test done yesterday so I'm interested to see what the results say.

[beachdreamer]

Keep us posted sleepymonkey. I hope your results help clear up the confusion.

<<< lurking >>>

Hope you get some answers with your progesterone testing sleepymonkey! FX for everyone else this week too!

Well, BFFN this morning. I'm definitely comfortable taking my Xanax before the dentist today. I will pass on the gas, but I don't know why. I would think I would get at least a squinter at this point if I was pregnant. I'm 13 DPO, and if that's off, it's for sure only 1 day or 12 DPO. It sucks because I had a dream last night where I got a BFP on not one, but two tests. I had a similar dream a few months ago....this one seemed even more real, though. With DS, I didn't test until 17 DPO so I don't know how early I would have gotten a BFP.

Now I'm at a loss, do I call my OB today and set up an appointment or wait until CD1 actually arrives??? I think the best I can hope for now is a Dec baby. If AF holds off until Wednesday (instead of Monday when I expect her), MH might make it back for the last day of FW in the next cycle. *sigh* I'm at such a loss here...not even that sad, just confused and angry. Sorry for the novel.

[wannabmama]

beachdreamer sorry for the bfn
I'd go ahead and schedule an appt if you want to get in...you can always cancel of you don't need it and it might take awhile to be seen.

beachdreamer, love tit for support. I'm so sorry for the BFN. I agree with wannabmama and schedule something now. You can always cancel it if you don't need it. Hugs girl. I hope your dentist appointment went well. 

[bazinga]

Sorry for the BFN beachdreamer. Hugs.

[beachdreamer]

Well at least I rocked my dentist appointment. All clean now, everything looked good, and I did it without the gas (just xanax)!!
