**TWW 10/26-11/2**

[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: since it's almost Halloween let's talk scary things...what scares you more: dark woods, confined spaces, or heights (or something else)?

I'll play even though I don't have temps to confirm based on cd count I am fairly convinced I O'd a week or so ago. We actually had regular sex so if I did actually O then we have a chance. Hope to see lots of +s this go round ladies!

GTKY: Confined spaces/inability to breathe; I cannot think of anything worse than being locked in a small tight space, ugh that scares me just thinking about it. Have you ever gotten "stuck" in a too tight dress or shirt and about hyperventilate trying to get the damn thing off? I have.

I finally go here now - at 2DPO!! This is the latest ever that I have O'd (CD18)...we timed it right so we'll see how it goes!!

QOTW: Love this one wannabmama!! I love horror movies but I'm terrified of those "based on a true story ones." CANNOT do those!! Im also scared of open spaces - not really opposite of being claustrophobic but I prefer tight spaces (im weird, I know!) Open fields are ok, but I can't do big houses of I'm alone lol! Oh and @kellbell - I think we all have been there with the dressing room problems! I hate trying things on, getting stuck and feeling like I'm in the dressing room for an eternity! It takes awhile for me to get those garments off (blouses/shirts that aren't button down or certain dresses) b/c while stuck, I begin to panic so I start sweating and that never helps the situation! I'm too embarrassed to ask for help & almost always, I get a boob cramp trying to get things off over my head with my arms crossed! I swear that sometimes I feel like I'd rather dislocate a shoulder to take these tops off than ask for help!

agpjt413, I must admit I've taken scissors to numerous dresses or shirts over the years in a fit of terror and rage that I can't get the damn item off!

Tested over the weekend and that test practically screamed no at me.

GTKY: I hate dark attics and basements. My anxiety goes thru the roof (pun intended) when I have to go into my attic so I usually make DH get in the attic.

Sorry about the BFN, badwolf

@kellbell, getting stuck in clothing is the worst! Especially if you're just trying it on at a store. It's a common problem for me with tops because big boobs are very unforgiving.

agpjt413, I'm like you - I much prefer closed spaces to open spaces. I feel more secure in a smaller space.

I'm here at 6DPO. My crosshairs finally moved this morning from CD12 to CD13, which means our timing was better but still not as good as I would have hoped. I have been really down on myself the past week because I feel like if I hadn't "let myself go" so much, I would've been pregnant by now. When I got pregnant quickly with DD, I was in the best shape of my life. I was within a normal BMI for the first time since I was very young (I had recently lost 70 lbs), I ate well and went to the gym a few times a week. Then I gained 50 lbs when pregnant, lost 17 of those after delivery, but have since gained them back. My eating habits are crap, I feel like I have no time to work out (I work FT), and I just feel overall 'blah'. I also have a feeling my high blood pressure has returned. I can't help but feel like if I was more like I was when we TTC#1 2 1/2 years ago, I wouldn't be looking at the potential to have to think about seeing an RE. Ugh - sorry about the pity party for myself.

GTKY: I hate heights. I had a panic attack at the top of the Eiffel Tower attraction in Vegas. I always feel like I'm going to fall when I am up high. My fear of heights also translates into my fear of up escalators (I'm fine on down ones). I feel like I'm going to fall backwards when I'm on one. I will always opt for the stairs or elevator if I can avoid them.

@kellbell, I totally hate small spaces as well. Elevators are the worst, because I feel like when there are other people on there with my that are taking up all the air. 

agpjt413, FX for you this cycle, and yay for good timing!

badwolf,  sorry about the bfn, ((hugs)). 

sleepymonkey, yay for moving ch's and better timing. I totally understand your feelings. When I got pregnant with my youngest I had lost a butt load of weight, and worked out every day. I have been having some of the same thoughts as you, "Is my weight stopping me from getting pregnant". I know that I am much heavier then I was 5 years ago and when I stepped on the scale 3 weeks ago it was a total shock. Because of that damn scale I have been trying to do better. I just want to send you all the hugs and say vent on. 

AFM, I am 6 dpo and I am just waiting it out. We hit two days during my FW, but that mean nothing. I am trying to decide if I want to do another HSG just to make sure my remaining tube is still open, but that has to be paid oop. The cost is $500.00 dollars but with the holidays coming up I could use that money elsewhere. I have been working out and eating much better and I totally feel the difference in the way my body feels and the way my clothes are fitting.

just lurking to wish you ladies good luck...

[wannabmama]

@kellbell glad you were able to get the regular sex...that is the most important element
agpjt413 I love based on a true story horror movies...but...they totally terrify me, too.
badwolf I'm the same way with attics and our shed...I won't go in there unless H goes in first.
sleepymonkey I know what you mean about feeling just not healthy. I've gained so much weight in the last four years. I also work FT and my commute is insane so it's really hard to find time. I try to be good about what I eat but it's hard when I'm sedentary at the office. And stress...I swear at least 15lbs are completely the result of stress. I hate not being in good shape and feeling healthy. Also...I'm terrified of heights. I get crazy vertigo and just want to get on my hands and knees and crawl.

I think everyone needs one of these this week:

[hammysmommy]

Hi - I guess I go here too. I should have O'd 10 days ago, but didn't get a +OPK. I'm moody and my boobs hurt, but that could just be PMS. Have to call the RE's RN (still haven't done it) to setup my blood draw (beta) for Thursday/Friday/Saturday. Can't quite bring myself to do it.

Zombies. I cannot do zombie movies/haunted houses. Not sure why. I watched "Warm Bodies" and that was almost okay (except for the ones that were attacking the regular zombies), but "I am Legend" was too much, "28 Days Later" I was still having nightmares, and I will not even attempt TWD or WWZ.

And spiders, but that one's getting a bit more manageable - couldn't drop the baby because there was a spider on me - split second flight/"fight" response and I'm starting to be able to choose "fight" (brave it out).

[sleepymonkey]

So I'm still here at 9DPO. The crazy train has not left the station yet but after a temp spike this morning (which is unusual for me at this time during the TWW), I am feel slightly more hopeful. My boobs are a little sore and I have been waking up a little nauseated the past few mornings. I'm not having nearly as many symptoms as I have the past few cycles so since those were obviously unsuccessful cycles, that could mean something good, right? It couldn't possibly be that my body is just an unpredictable asshole that likes to mess with me.

[hammysmommy]

So today's day 31. Still haven't tested, but I did actually call my RE's RN. We'll wait until CD1 or CD35, whichever comes first, and test then. Unless I pee on all the things before then.

[caer]

I don't go here yet but I'm lurking and cheering everyone on. FX for you sleepymonkey and hammysmommy!

Let's hope CD35 comes first - four more days!!!
