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: who knows you best?

[bazinga]

Hello ladies. I'm hanging in at 11DPO and no spotting yet which is a first for 2016. I had an upset stomach over the weekend so can't tell if I'm cramping because of that of impending AF. So, all of the wishful thinking over here after last week's RE appointment.


QOTW: Well, DH and I have been together for almost half of my life so he does

summergirl1211 - Any update?

I'm here at supposedly 3DPO based on trigger/IUI. However, I have a bunch of ewcm today and am also feeling similar to how I feel on O day during non-medicated cycles so I'm questioning whether the trigger worked. But I'm going to do my best to trust that the trigger did what it was supposed to do and just go with it. It's not like I have a choice.

QOTW: Probably MH although I don't think he knows me as much as I know him. But I'm very guarded so admittedly, it takes a lot to know the real me.

I've been wondering about summergirl1211 too.

I'm here now at 3DPO. I have had the weirdest thing this month. I have never ever (except maybe way back once or twice when I was still a teenager) spotted between periods. I started spotting Friday night and it has just about stopped today. The first day I accused MH of being too rough, but I don't really think that is it. I read online that there can be ovulation bleeding. It didn't seem bad enough to make me call my OB. I also wonder if it could be due to all the supplements my RE had me start. Otherwise, all is good.

QOTW: I would have to say MH but I still keep a lot of things to myself.

beachdreamer, I had spotting around ovulation a few months ago and it was so strange. That has never happened to me before and it hasn't happened since so hopefully it's just a one time thing for you. I actually spotted for the rest of the day after my IUI on Friday morning. That hasn't happened with my other two IUIs so I'm not sure why this one was different. It wasn't a lot, just a tiny bit of pink here and there.

[wannabmama]

bazinga good luck! Testing plans??
sleepymonkey I hope the timing was great! I noticed strange O signs with my IUIs that didn't always match up. I think the drugs mess with you sometimes which makes it hard to pinpoint in the usual ways.
beachdreamer I know spotting pops up for random reasons, ovulation is definitely one of them. Hope it's just a blip for this cycle.

Thank you wannabmama

**trigger warning**

I had BFP dream last night and it came true!

I flew to NY yesterday and had packed tampons expecting CD1. At 5am yesterday when no spotting I threw an HPT in my bag at the last minute. When I still wasn't spotting this morning I decided to POAS. I have never tested this early and am both ecstatic and terrified after the stats we got last week for chances of a successful natural pregnancy. I had to text DH the news as my course started before he'd be up in CA and I couldn't wait until now when I have a short break to tell him.

Hopefully I will get betas on Friday when I'm home and this time everything landed in the right place...

Words cannot express how very grateful I am for having the support of this group for the last 8 months. I have everything crossed for each of your BFPs very, very soon.

bazinga yayyayayaya!!!
Fx betas are great and you have a very uneventful and happy 9mo ahead!!

[sleepymonkey]

Woop woop. Congrats bazinga

[hooligans4]

I'm here with you too.
cD 13, never got a positive opk so not sure if I ovulated or not so who knows how many dpo I am. Cycles are usually 23 days, so if I did it would have been a few days ago.
I'm feeling so blah lately. I had my annual this past week and I'm at the point that I'm realizing this may never happen. I didn't push for any blood work or tests. My doctor was ok with just letting me be. She said she would pray for a Mother's Day miracle for me. Even though I'm not religious I thanked her anyway. Any good thoughts are ok with me.
WOTW: I would like to think DH knows me best as we have been together 17 years, but he is a topical male and doesn't pay attention to most things.
So I will say my best friend truly knows me best. There is nothing we can't talk about. I have known her since grade school so she has been with me through everything.

Congratulations, bazinga! That is wonderful news! I'm so happy for you! H&H 9 months to you!!

[delenire]

yay bazinga!!!!!!! FX!

I have been wondering about summergirl1211 as well.

I am currently at 8dpo and I have been poas since 5 or 6dpo. I know that it is impossible to get a BFP this early but it doesn't stop me... I feel so ashamed of myself.

I read today that implantation normally happens on 9dpo so I keep telling myself tomorrow I have a chance. But it isn't stopping the depression from setting in. I am thinking about going and buying some baby clothes or something to brighten me day but do you think it will make things worse?

The person who knows me the most: my EX Husband. Crazy right? we were BFF got married and then realized BFF worked and marriage didn't.

[summergirl1211]

Sorry ladies, I kind of fell off the map last week. Thanks for checking in. My update is below!

**** possible trigger warning ****

SPOILER: Click to show

My betas looked good on Friday- level of 60 which they were happy with for so early. Retested yesterday and they came back at 160, so still in the normal range. They're checking me one more time next week since I had an early loss before my DD and if everything is good there I'll have an ultrasound in about 3 weeks. It still doesn't seem real!

[summergirl1211]

bazinga, I just saw your update! AHHHH! So exciting! FX for great betas when you get back! Please keep us updated.

[summergirl1211]

sleepymonkey, good luck to you with your IUI. I know I was super anxious about the trigger timing so I get it. I only had 1 day of watery CM (I never have EWCM) so I wasn't sure if it worked or not. Hopefully your body is just off a little and the timing was perfect!

beachdreamer, don't you just love how your body throws random things at you? Good luck this cycle!

Good luck this cycle hooligans4! Do you temp or anything so that you have a better idea of O timing?

delenire, I totally get it with testing early. I just always told myself to not test until I knew there was at least a chance, because seeing that stark white test was always a punch in the gut. Hopefully you get good news this cycle!

wannabmama, I'm thinking of you lady. Still sending you lots of hugs.

[delenire]

summergirl1211, it is so awesome your beta's are coming back like champs!

[sleepymonkey]

Yay - I am so happy for you, summergirl1211!

[beachdreamer]

Yay!! Congrats both bazinga and summergirl1211!
