TWW 2/29-3/7

[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: would you rather be invisible or be able to read minds?

IUI #1 in 45 minutes so I will be joining in the TWW fun tomorrow! I am nervous because I don't know what to expect other than what I have read online and MH will not be there with me.

GTKY: I would much rather be invisible. I really don't want to know what most people are thinking because I think it would just make me mad or sad much of the time!

Ahh! GL sleepymonkey! I hope it goes well for you. Keep us updated.

I thought I was here then I had a wonky temp this morning so I don't know what is going on. MH got home Friday, the same day I got positive OPK. So we actually hit one day in FW....little chance but better than the none I was expecting. Temp was up Sat and Sun. I should be 2 DPO, though I had no cramps or headaches. We will see I guess. I have an appt with my OB in half hour so I'm excited (and a little nervous) for that.

QOTW: Definitely invisible.... For the same reason sleepymonkey stated. Plus if I really wanted to know someone's thoughts, I would be able to easily eavesdrop while invisible.


Good luck today sleepymonkey. Very exciting!!!!!

IUI went well. It was so quick, with just slight cramping for a few minutes after. I'm really hoping this works because this may be the only time we do this. MH is continuing to struggle with the idea of having assistance so we are going to be discussing the path forward in the next 2 weeks. While I know he will go along with what I want, it is important to me to have him on the same page with this. There is a very distinct possibility that we may go back to just trying natural cycles until July and then moving to NTNP.

sleepymonkey, I'm glad your IUI went well. FX for you!

beachdreamer, I hope your appointment went well too.

AFM, I'm at 10DPO, my boobs are killing me today and I'm feeling mild cramps. Just waiting to start spotting, but we'll see. I have an OB appointment tomorrow to discuss next steps if needed...

QOTW: Also invisibility. Seeing what people really think could be scary in so many ways!

[beachdreamer]

Good luck with your appointment tomorrow, bazinga.

[wannabmama]

Yay sleepymonkey I'm glad the IUI went well and I hope this is it!

bazinga fx you dont need those next steps!

beachdreamer how did the appt go?

I'm here in the TWW with little hope for this cycle...but we learned yesterday we can do IVF next one! My doc altered the protocol so weren't doing bcp this cycle, just estrogen patch and then as soon as AF comes we start the process!!
GTKY: yeah invisible here too, I'd spy on so many people and situations, ha!

[sleepymonkey]

beachdreamer, I hope your appt went well. Update us when you can.

bazinga, FX you don't even have to discuss next steps with your ob!

wannabmama, Yay for being able to do IVF next cycle! FX so hard that we'll be seeing a BFP announcement from you next cycle!

[bazinga]

wannabmama, I'm so pleased for you that you get to go ahead with IVF next cycle

I started spotting by bedtime last night and I'm cramping a little this morning so expect AF is on its way

[wannabmama]

Sorry bazinga

[beachdreamer]

Sorry bazinga. I still hope your appt went well.

wannabmama, yay for IVF next cycle!!!

My appt went well. I suppose it was pretty typical for that kind of appt. I did see a different dr in the office than usual and she was like "wow you have some obstetrics history!" I think she thought I was a little crazy for being willing to try again. She did tell me if I get to the point of IVF never let them transfer more than one. I knew that but it was interesting to hear it outright too. I actually wondered if I would ever even be a candidate for IVF.
Anyway, that's a way down the road. For now, I have instructions to call on CD 1 to schedule blood draw for CD 3 and CD 21. The first (CD3) will check thyroid, estrogen, and FSH. I also have the option to check OAR but she said she knows just based on age it will come back as diminished. She said she's seen enough of them...so I haven't decided on that or not. The second one (CD21) will check progesterone. I also got the Rx for H to do SA, and an Rx for HSG. It has to be done CD 5 -10. The one thing I didn't ask was if it's ok to schedule next cycle or if it has to be done the cycle after bloodwork.
She did laugh that watch, lining all this up means I'll get pregnant this cycle. It would be nice if she's right but I'm not counting on it.
