**TWW 2/15-2/22**

[wannabmama]

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 all of a sudden change your job to something totally different, what would you do?

I'm still technically here, but the only thing I'm waiting on is AF. Crossing my fingers for anyone joining in the TWW this week.

GTKY: I would be interested in being a physical therapist. Lots of medical things interest me, but the bodily fluids and stuff gross me out so I couldn't do it. PT seems like a way to still help people.

I'm still here, though I don't know for how long. I should be 12 or 13DPO but I'm not completely confident in that. I'm supposed to get betas tomorrow so I think I will test in the morning. I'm trying to figure out that in the likely event I get a bfn on an hpt, if I should even bother going for the betas. The RE just told me what day to go get my blood drawn and didn't say anything about taking an hpt first. Honestly, I really feel like I'm out and am just ready to be done with this cycle.

GTKY: I would be a buyer. My undergrad degree is in fashion merchandising and I worked in a buying office for a dept store for 3 years out of college. I loved the job but hated where I lived. I was young and lonely living in a big city and decided to move back "home" with my parents. Now after over 11 years working in my current job (which has zero to do with merchandising), I have priced myself out of ever going back to working in a buying office.

BFN this morning at (supposedly) 13-14DPO. I usually only have an 11-12 day LP but temp is still up, boobs only got slightly sore 2 days ago, and I have been cramping a little for a few days. All of this has me 75% convinced the trigger did not work and I O'd later than I should have, which means we had no timing (we were both sick but powered through during the TI but nothing went on for a week after while we recovered from this nasty cold.) I'm going to call the RE this morning and see if he still wants me to get betas today but I think it's pretty pointless.

Sorry sleepymonkey
I feel like the trigger didn't work for me one cycle, it was an IUI cycle and I was really bummed. My RE always wants me to come in for betas unless AF is here. I think she just wants to be doubly sure.

Yeah I'm bummed because I felt like I didn't even get the response I was expecting to with Femara. I only had 1 mature follicle and 1 much smaller follicle at the time of trigger. I don't see how getting 1 follicle with meds is any better than me ovulating on my own like I do every month. And it makes me really hesitant to spend the money on IUI if the trigger doesn't even work for me. My next step is to request getting an HSG this month because even though my ob and the RE said it's unlikely that I have a tube problem, you never know. I had a c-section with DD and I have read that that can sometimes cause scar tissue.

Sorry sleepymonkey. That has to be so frustrating.

Hugs sleepymonkey. I'm sorry you're feeling so down this cycle. I hope your RE has some advice for you based on how you responded to meds this cycle.

I'm here for once! I haven't been temping but based on my CM I believe I'm 3DPO. We only hit one good day in the window but I'll take it. I'm just excited to no longer be on the bench! Seeing that I didn't use any meds this cycle I don't have much hope, but we'll see what happens next week.

FX ladies!

GTKY: Hmmm... probably working somewhere like an animal shelter. Or, in my wildest dreams I'd live in Hawaii or somewhere tropical and work at a tiki bar. I think that would be a ton of fun! Not that either of those would pay the bills, but maybe someday.

[sleepymonkey]

summergirl1211, Yay for being off the bench!

summergirl1211 , I like how you think!!!

[sleepymonkey]

Betas confirmed what I already knew. Now I just sit and wait for CD1. Hopefully it will come soon and I can just start over again. I think a trip to the wine store is called for after work!

[wannabmama]

Sorry sleepymonkey but I hope you got some wine or something else to treat yo' self

Hugs to you sleepymonkey.

Thanks. I *may* have had the better part of a bottle of moscato last night. MH was actually pretty bummed, too, which surprised me because he hasn't seemed bothered by BFNs any other month. But I think I got him to agree to trying IUI next month instead of TI again, so that's good.

[beachdreamer]

I'm glad your H is on board for an IUI now. (Trying to think of the positive here ). So sorry for the bad cycle.

[sleepymonkey]

AF finally arrived today after my LP was 3 days longer than normal. I'm happy because after the negative betas, it was just waiting to start the next cycle. Seeing the RE tomorrow morning for an ultrasound and to discuss my concerns about the meds not working like they should have. I'm also going to try to schedule the HSG.

[summergirl1211]

Love tit for support sleepymonkey. Good luck tomorrow!

[bazinga]

Good luck tomorrow sleepymonkey.

[beachdreamer]

For once, I'll say yay for AF sleepymonkey. Good luck tomorrow.
