The 14 day agonizing and nerve racking mindfuck for 4/6-4/12

[lickwed]

Thought I would try something different for the new month.  Let me know if the F bomb in the title bothers you and I can change it.

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.



QOTW: How often do you cut/style your hair?

And for some laughs

[URMySunshine77]

I'm 2 or 3 DPO. I wasn't able to confirm O because we went camping last weekend and it was too difficult to temp. The timing of the trip ruined the possibility of sex on -1 and O, so I'm not sure about our prospects this month. I feel down, but I'm trying to give myself grace and remind myself that no matter how much we strive for perfection, it's out of our control.

So it looks like we hit -2 and -4 or -3 and -5. I have a feeling that it's the latter.

I'm not even in my TWW yet this cycle, but I"m loving the new thread title!!

[vh2014]

I don't belong here that I know of... but had to drop in to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new thread title.

[boobacat]

5DPO- pretty sure. We had great timing but that doesn't seem to matter.
Had IVF orientation today but no time afterward to discuss with DH. I think that's more f'ing with my mind than anything.

I would think CD 13 would be O day giving you -1 and -3.  I say that because your temp shot up on the next day.  Unless your OPK was late at night then maybe it could be the next day.

Its funny.  I kept looking at your chart thinking, "where are her temps??"

Not even there yet, but I love this thread.

lickwed, I am absolutley dying that you took this and ran with it!

That's why I love this place.

Thanks for the April Fool's Prank.  It was the inspiration.  Also, did you set it up to change the word preggo that day too?  That would have been hilarious.

[lickwed]

So I think I go here. I am probably 2 days past ovulation, but it's hard to tell since this is my first time temping vaginally. I figured I'd have a more noticeable temp increase than what I have so far. I guess tomorrow's temp will confirm it.

QOTW: I get my hair cut and colored about every 3 or 4 months. I have light brown hair and get a semi permanent auburn color in there, so you really can't tell when it starts to grow out.

When do you start IVF?  FX you get lucky this cycle and don't need it.

Dropping in to cheer for you ladies and express love for the title

Yay! I go here again! I'm 6dpo and we had good timing at -2, and am on O day! I don't feel very confident but we did have sex so we have a better chance than the last 2 cycles! I'd love for a whole dang bunch of Late December babies, come on for a 2015 lo!

I think I just stuck my FF link under my avatar... and here it is as well;

www.fertilityfriend.com/home/545435/

BIG PLUMMET again so the fertile CM was a no go.  Actually tracking that again now that I have more than just W.  I had to split the chart.  FF just kind of stops after CD180.  So you'll have to go back to the previous cycle if you really want to see the ridiculousness. Have fun!  i already chart stalked all kinds of FF charts today for fun. 

[happyktmom]

I'll chime in here too and say I love, love, love the title! I vote to keep up the TWW titles that show how we really feel about it.
AF was due yesterday according to FF. BFN'S and just PMS through the roof. Boobs didn't start hurting until today so maybe I'm back to a 28 day cycle. We are the road home and stopped for my blood work for beta and Progesterone following TI and Pregnyl trigger this month. I'm sure most of you have read my hate rant post on my sucky Easter.
Anyhoo, I should hear something tomorrow.
QOTW - I usually have a hankerin' to drastically change my hair once a year and since you can only cut it so short, it usually involves coloring my naturally blond hair. This year I decided to perm it for the first time since middle school and I love it!

[luvmyponies]

It's been so long since I've been in the TWW I'm going to be a complete lunatic next month when we finally start IVF. Good luck everybody! I love love love the title of this thread!!

That is a very good question and it is unclear. DH and I are going out to dinner tonight and will be having a long talk. He's backing off the idea and I am not so we will see. But it won't be the next cycle. But if this month works I will keep the 'Hail Mary' story.

I forget gtky ?s- not often enough. Than goodness for the ombré trend!

lickwed-- That is a possibility. The only thing that gives me pause is that I had really fertile CM on CD14 and watery CM on CD15. I usually don't have fertile CM on O day. My gut says that CD14 was O. FX that we did have good timing!!

Rats!  I was so hoping this was it.

[lickwed]

URMySunshine77 Okay that makes sense. FF is agreeing with you too. I was going by my normal which has been O the day of temp dive. FX!

I activated the OPK monitor on my account so it's ignoring the missing temps. I had to be obsessive like that.

I didn't

[teenybenoit]

I love the title! I'm frustrated with my cycle the last few months since burning the bench, last month AF showed up early, on vacation, just in time to make the long 24 hour drive home!
This month FF has changed its mind on when I "o'd" 3 times and I'm assuming is still not sure due to the dotty lines?
Please chart stalk I sm happy for any imput.

My boobies are sore, we have had nookie every other day since my last AF and I have some feelings very similar to PMS, originally FF said my AF should come on the 11th and now it says the 13th.
If it doesn't happen this month I am going back to the fertility clinic and they want to put me on Clomid for the next cycle which scares the bejeezus out of me.
I have been working my ass off to get my blood sugar to a good place (which it now is) to lose weight (I'm down 10lbs since January) and to improve my overall health which I have. I don't know how to fix my impatience with this whole process. I keep trying to believe if it's meant to happen it will, but this is f*cking hard.
Anyway, thanks for the place to vent. You guys are awesome!!

[lickwed]

teenybenoit first off, so many hugs. That is a lot to take on and feel free to vent away. That is what this thread is for.

Looking at your chart, I think the fertile CM on CD 14 and 15 are what is causing the dotted lines. Also because you don't have an OPK and just temps alone might keep your lines dotted. Have you tried taking the fertile CM away for those two days? Did they ever give you lines on CD15 because you have your highest temps after that drop. I stopped recording CM after my positive OPK because I didn't feel like figuring out if it was semen or CM.

Congrats on the weight loss and getting your sugar under control. I hope it keeps up.

No help with the clomid, I just know if you are properly monitored then it would be okay.

[teenybenoit]

@lickwed thank you and hugs to you as well. I kinda thought the CM might be confusing it as well so I will remove it and see what happens.
I haven't used OPKs for a while because they were expensive and usually I didn't need them as with the clinic on CD3 they start internal u/s and bloodwork daily to monitor you just before O and right after.
I think I'm still getting the hang of FF but it helps a lot when there are ladies like you here that can give pointers and tips. Thank you again.

[nikolie93]

I'm so offended by the word fuck in the title!

Ha, just kidding, I love the title and fuck is one of my favorite words

Just stopping in to say I'm thinking if you all in the 2WW and I'm cheering you on!

[lickwed]

nikolie93 I thought you would like that

[zombiesquad]

Nowhere near any kind of 2WW but wanted to note that I love this post title. Hugs to all you ladies.
