TWW 12/21-12/28

[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 celebrate Christmas what's the one thing you're most looking forward to surrounding the holiday? If you don't celebrate that holiday, will you do something fun over the long weekend?

I think I officially go here now. I really think that I ovulated this past Saturday based on my positive opk and o pain, but I could be 100% wrong. I am just going to put myself in the TWW. If it wasn't Saturday then maybe Friday or Sunday. If Friday we hit +1, -1, -2, if Saturday we hit O, -2, -3, if Sunday we hit -1, -3, -4. Now we just wait and see what happens.

Thanks for starting this wannabmama! I think I'm about 9DPO and officially crazy. I originally wanted to wait to test until at least Wednesday but I know I will cave and likely test tomorrow. If this cycle doesn't work I'm heading off to the RE in a few weeks and I have no idea what path we will take this time. It's so hard when people around me talk about getting KU like it's an easy thing to do, and yet it has never come easily for me. I'm really trying not to let it get me down.

We do celebrate Christmas and my favorite part is getting together with my extended family. About 30 of us get together at my grandparents' house in IL and eat and drink and open gifts. It's my favorite day of the year. I can't wait!

GL to all of you ladies this week! FX for more BFP's!!

You and I are in a similar place, summergirl1211. I am 9DPO and if this cycle isn't successful, I'm heading to my ob January 11 for a "what now?" appointment. My chart looks really good right now but it usually does until 10-11DPO. I currently have a cold so it's mostly distracting me from boarding the crazy train. If my temps haven't dropped by Thursday, I will probably test but I doubt it will come to that.

The thing I look forward to most for Christmas is having DD see her cousins. They adore each other and she hasn't seen them much lately. She is always happiest when everyone is together and I love seeing the joy on her face.

I'm still here...CD24 13DPO. I thought about testing this morning but I really want to hold off until at least Wed. My boobs are still sore today so I want to see if that keeps up. I have one foot on the crazy train now but most of the time I haven't been thinking about it since we've been so busy.

GTKY: Just sitting around the tree, watching tv and enjoying our little family... oh, and the food. I really want to relax. It won't be the same since I can't go home this year so we're just making the best of it.

beachdreamer summergirl1211 sleepymonkey FX for all you ladies!!!!!

I forgot the QOTW, I am looking forward to just being with family. We are going to my aunts house to eat all the food and this year will be doing all the games. We are all so competitive so this will be fun.

[bazinga]

Good luck ladies!!

[summergirl1211]

Started spotting yesterday. As usual, the day before I planned to take a test. Ugh. On to the next cycle and the RE I guess!

Good luck to the rest of you ladies!!

[wannabmama]

summergirl1211 LT as a hug obviously! Sorry for CD1!

[sleepymonkey]

Ugh, summergirl1211. That really sucks. ((hugs))

[beachdreamer]

I'm sorry summergirl1211.

[beachdreamer]

Well I tested this morning. BFN For some reason I'm kind of surprised. No idea why because I wasn't really expecting anything this month. Le sigh

Sorry for the BFN beachdreamer . Is it possible you just tested too early? I don't remember what CD it is for you. Sending hugs!

ETA: Just realized you're 15DPO, right? Ugh. Maybe you implanted late? 

[wannabmama]

Sorry beachdreamer it's never fun, even if you are expecting it!

[jwinct]

I'm sorry about the BFNs and CD1s. Hugs, ladies! Fx for those still in the game.

I apparently go here now, which I am shocked about.

I'm pretty sure this is what I looked like when I entered my temp this morning and CHs showed up and put me at 4DPO.


I usually O around CD14, so CD9 seems super early. I did have fertile CM, and I did a chart overlay based on O date and it seems like it may be legit. Here's my chart overlay.

If this is correct, we hit -2 and O, thankfully. FF says my EDD would be my mom's birthday, 9/11, which would be so awesome. I'm not getting my hopes up, though. I still have a tough time believing I Oed at CD9, but I'll go with it until FF tells me otherwise.

I just love the excitement and magic of Christmas for my kids. The kids make it so much fun.
I love spending time with my family, but we basically all live nearby and we see each other a lot, so it's not like we're getting together with extended family that we don't see very often.
