Good Morning girls, how is everyone feeling? I feel like this tww is dragging on and on, but I'm only 5 days from bt now. I'm starting to search for symptoms now though, which really isn't a good thing. In the shower this morning, I started thinking "Did I just feel a little nauseous? I think I did . . No, it was nothing . . Actually, I think it might have been . . No, no it's in your head . ." hahaha. My left bb is sore, and I'm bloated, but I usually get bloated and sore bbs before af anyway. The only af symptom I'm missing is bad skin, normally I've broken out by now (af would be due Saturday, if I wasn't on the pessaries). I guess the drugs could be affecting that too though.
Hope everyone is going well, and we have a few bfps to celebrate in a few days.
Alloy- I know what you mean...I've been just the same in the TWW before, checkingfor symptoms, imagining symptoms, willing on symptoms...we just go a bit mad...
hang in there..not too long for you now
and all the best to the other ladies here... I feel like I am kinda here, but kinda not, because TWW after a natural cycle is so much less intense than when you KNOW you have an embryo inside you to start with and have through so much to get it there!
alloy: i had all the symtoms last month. sore bb, felt sick, lots of loo visits but it was BFN so i'll be ignoring everything this month.
mels: counting down. not long to go. do we test around same day? day 28 for me is sun 23rd but test is on fri 28th.
possums: you never know. natural could work.
afm: well had FET on wed as planned. got acupuncture booked for friday, for relaxation.
due for testing on nov 28th. but day 28 is on sunday the 23rd and fs has given me permission to do a test if no af on day 28. fingers crossed.
i hate the TWW, but i am sure i am not the only one ?!
hoping for some more BFP in here soon. i did ask smithy to send us some baby dust.
hiya JBM! glad to see you here in the TWW! Yes we will be testing around the same time. I will prob do a HPT on Sat 22 Nov (2 weeks post ovulation) and then my BT is on Mon 24. Yay! baby dust for us.
no AF for us all and lots of BFP's pre-christmas. what a treat that would be!
carrs2walk - thanks for your advice and I knew what you meant by the OJ, lol I am yet to feel any symptons but trying not to read too much into it.
JBM - I am finding the first time scary and dont know what to expect. I like to be in control too which doesnt help and there is no control when TTC.
Possums - good luck with your wait. Its still a stressful wait regardless.
Ive been a bit up and down today. Started my day grumpy but has gotten better
DP and I have been niggly with each other. Has been a stressful time, especially on the weekend. He got stage fright on day of EPU and after MANY hours, it finally happened! Its such a trying time all round and trying to keep it all together both at home and work is proving to be hard.
My fingers are still crossed for everyone! Here's for some good news soon
I had my first ivf cycle cancelled monday ( not enough eggs) i had 2 follies and so they decided not to waist them. I had my trigger shot tuesday morning and we have been dtd everyday since, so here i am hoping and that we can do it naturally this month. i start crinone gel on saturday night and have bt 27th.
i wish you all loads and loads of luck in the tww and hope and pray that you all get bfp
possums - hope you have a lovely week away. i'm thinking of taking some time off next week as i really think it helps to pass the TWW...
m2c - welcome! good luck on your natural TWW!
tania - it is such a stressful time - don't be too hard on yourself, it is so easy to get emotional given everything we have to go through...
AFM - 8 days till poas, and 10 days till BT. I noticed some slight discolouration in CM today (sorry if TMI!) I'm sure it can't be AF (waaay too early). Hopefully everything's alright in there I'm determined not to put this down to a possible "symptom" ....!
Hi Ladies.. my name's Dee and I've been lurking around BB for over a year now but haven't really settled anywhere since I gave up the 6+ months thread.. I had a Lap done 30th Sept this year and am on a natural cycle before starting Serophene next cycle if this one isn't sucessful... DH and I have been TTC for 22mths and have unexplained fertility (I had some tubal scarring and endo which were removed and tidied up.. sounds a little like gardening to me..lol)... I hope I can join in here as for the first time in a very long time I actually feel like I may have a chance at being PG naturally and i'm already driving myself nuts on the TWW... AF due 22nd.. Please..
Good luck everyone and Mels77 - Don't want to say it but... Implantation bleed???? Good timing for it...
Dee
Dee - welcome! and great news that you're feeling positive about this natural cycle. you're in good company here with us TWW'rs
I had to LOL about your "implantation bleed" comment. Naturally this was the first thing I also thought of... but I can pretty much find early pregnancy symptoms at any time in my cycle if I try hard enough!! I do hope you're right though
AF is also due for me around the same time as you, so here's hoping for no visit from AF and BFP's for us (and everyone on this thread)!
(Hope I haven't been boring you all with my posts today, I've had a loooooong day at work - and it's still going!)
Mels - hope that discolouration is nothing. I cant comment as its my first time around so dont know WHAT to expect and whats "normal" I too am looking for signs and am a bit worried as Ive had none
I have a question, I know we have to watch what we eat, not take medications and to be generally careful during our TTW but can I have some advice as to grooming ie - colouring hair? I know it probably sounds weird, but I have been going grey since my early 20's and RELIGIOUSLY colour my hair every 4 weeks to keep them away. I even had my boss point out my grey hair this week and told me Im as grey as his 60 yr old wife. I was really grateful at that comment (NOT) considering Im only 36!
Any advice/suggestions would be great. I have heard conflicting things about it.
tania - i asked my clinic the exact same question last month - and they said not to colour it. so i didn't. and i looked hideous, but at least it gave me peace of mind that i wasn't doing something that could jeopardise my chances.
I gave my clinic a call at lunchtime to confirm and they told me that I can only use natural or henna hair colour so called my hairdresser and shes onto it!
I'm determined not to put this down to a possible "symptom" ....!
