Two week wait support #6

Welcome to the hang out area for those in the two week wait. The old thread is here.
Please keep chatter in this thread relevant to the topic - ie two week wait support. And all the best.

Let me be the 1st to shower :bluedust::pink-babydust: on this thread so that those waiting for AF can wait a whole lot longer (like 8 mths). :goodluck2: girls!!!

Smilanatu - so sorry honey that this wasn't the cycle for u. I pray that the next cycle is!!! GL honey!

jen - Friday sounds like a plan!! Will u be able to hold out that long - lol!!! I know about the discouragement - i have had a small dip today again - not enough for implantation I don't think and a bit of a low temp for obvious pg. Or maybe I just need to check out that gallery where they show all the charts that showed a BFP and do some comparisons. I know everyone is different tho.

Hey treelo!! hi to tempus, mollycat and anyone else lurking. Hope ur doin ok.

Smilanatu - sorry that witch turned up :hug:

Just about to begin work for another day - somewhere along the day i have to go for my day 21 test, gotta love school holidays i will probably end up taking 4 kids with me, pathology opens at 8am (i start work at 8am) they close at 4pm (i finish at 5.30pm), at least the kids will get to see that blood tests don't hurt.

Sending all of us :pink-babydust::bluedust:

plc--Friday it is! :crossfingers: Hope that wicked witch doesn't show first! I did buy a test today--No, not one from the Dollar Store! :rofl: It was the cheapest one from Walmart, but it's the same one I used last time, so at least I know it works! I'm going to try my hardest to wait until Fri! I'm pretty weak, though... Maybe if I get anymore signs before then... :wall:


:hello: mollycat, tempus, treelo! Good luck with your :2ww:

Boy you girls can talk !!!!!!! So sorry that AF arrived Smilanatu, fingers crossed this is your last cycle.
Jen - i guess you havent figured out the gallery yet as i looked for your photo's.

Thank you for the lovely comments on my beautiful boys, they really are the sweetest things in life and i believe i am the luckiest mum in the world.

Mollycat - How did the bloodtest go hun?

Plc - Your such a sweety, sprinkling all that baby dust around....:hug:

well im going to attempt the gym tonight......so if i dont come online in the morning...send the search party !!!!!

hugs
treelo

treelo - have fun at the gym.
I really wish some of these "vampires" (so called blood takers) would learn how to take blood. This is the second time i've had this woman and she has stuffed up both times and had to go and get someone else to help her. I've got really touchy veins and i tell them before they start, i'm sure they don't believe me, hello - i've had lots of blood tests, i know my arms. so she pushed the needle in, missed the vein and then went to get help. I'll ring early next week and check for my results. Should be okay.
Jen - good luck holding out til Friday - really hope that you get a BFP.

really sorry mollycat that uv connected badly with the "vampires" again - :( but GL with the result honey!! (btw, did u have to take 4 kids in with u?). Ur only a couple of days ahead of me CD-wise - what DPO are u?

Morning ladies! Thanks for the well wishes...maybe next cycle.

Good luck testing jen!

Lots of positive thoughts and babydust for everyone!

treelo--I couldn't get my printer to scan, so I took pictures of my pics with my camera (yes, I actually tried taking pictures of my pictures!) :rofl: Tried e-mailing the pics to my computer, but for some reason never got the e-mails. I did figure out how to do it from the gallery, I just couldn't get the pics on my computer! :wall: I also couldn't get my digital camera working when I plugged it into my computer. I'll figure it out one of these days, and I'll let you know when I do! I haven't seen you yet today--shall I send out the search team? :)

mollycat--Sorry about those vampires, but hope your results come back great! I'm still trying to hold out till Fri! :crossfingers: for both of us!

:hello: plc-- Hope your TWW is moving along quickly--you're about half way through now, right?

:bluedust: :stickyvibesgirl: :goodluck2:

No need Jen, im here !! Boy my legs hurt though. We did 40 minutes cardio and then some weight. Not bad for my first effort though!!

Im sure you will fingure out the pics soon....i could just imagine you sitting there taking pics of your pics :rofl:

Any way i have a huge headache right now so im going to stay away from the puter till its gone.

have a great day
treelo

:rofl: It was pretty funny! Sorry to hear about your headache--hey, that could be a good sign, right? Hope it goes away soon!

Good job going to the gym! Wish I had the motivation--we bought a brand new treadmill last month. This is going on my second week since I've used it! Keep it up, it'll be a great help getting your body ready for baby!

mmmmm af appears to be here. Only light, but here all the same. :(

hugs
treelo

OHHH treelo - no sweet, how light is it? maybe it's not AF?

Its not light enough to be implantation...no i hate to say it, but AF is here EARLY again. Its been like this every since m/c - very irregular. Never mind, there is always next month.

oh treelo :hug: sorry af is here -

plc - i'm 7dpo and usually have a 28 day cycle and no i didn't end up taking 4 kids with me, i only ended up with 2 day care kids and took my youngest (almost 11) to help me, i had a 2-1/2 yo and a 10mo. the other two kids (sisters of the baby) were dropped off after lunch by their grandmother.

Oh treelo - so sorry - yes, there's always next month :hug:

mollycat - I'm usually 28 days too but have only one previous cycle to go by to judge LP. O-ed 2 days earlier this time so wonder if my cycle will be shorter or I'll have a longer LP. GL honey!!

treelo--D**n her! :angry: Sorry she showed :( You seem much more calm than I would be! :crossfingers: for next month...

Thanks everyone, AF sure is a B@##h.

Jen im calm because my head is hurting so much, its all i can focus on right now. And i think because i have been trying since July last year, its a familiar feeling now and i just chalk it up to another month of trying, and will see what next month will bring.
Im also going to be 36 this year.....and if in not pregnant by 37, im giving up.

but thats enough depressing thoughts......im sure it will happen for me, just like it will for all of us. Thank you for all you nice words this morning.

hugs
treelo

treelo - i always said i'd give up at 36, but i just turned 38 and still trying. I never really stopped trying after having Alexander, just spent a few years "not trying" but hoping it would happen, and the pg last year was such a shock especially when it happened straight after our friend was murdered, just goes to show it can happen when least expected, the only thing is i don't have another 10 years to keep trying LOL. Keep positive.

Oh, treelo, it will happen for you, I know it will! :hug: Hope your headache goes away--I see you weren't able to stay away from us for long! Hope you feel better soon.

mollycat & treelo--36 & 38 are still pretty young, you know, just look at all these 40 year-olds having babies nowadays! You get smarter as you get older, and much more appreciative of life--you can only get better as a mom the older you get!

AFM... I'm definitely feeling the urge to POAS!!! It's making me crazy! :wall: Tomorrow's the day, but I was going to try to wait until Fri. to test. There's just no way I can stand to wait until Fri. Have had tingly bb's all day! I keep telling myself first morning urine would be best... I'm telling you,though, I'm really having to fight off this urge to test right now! :excited:

Hey ladies--haven't been on in a few days, come back and you're all talking about dollar stores! My fave here in Pennsylvania is the Dollar Tree. We also have a chain called FiveBelow where everything is $5 or less

But back on topic, I can't test until Friday next week. And I can't cheat, either, because of the ovudrel shot. If I tested now, I'd get a false pos. No thanks.

jen805: the first three birthday parties I held for my son, afterward when all the guests went home I took a nap!
I don't want to get your hopes up and be mean, but I wouldn't test with a dollar store test--it could be too close to the expiration date or it could have been stored at the wrong temperature in the warehouse. I'm keeping fingers crossed

mollycat: hey and welcome. And I"m having sympathy pains for you after that description of the lab

plc1805: I think i'm the opposite of you--i refuse to put any significance at all on anything my body'd doing! epsecially since I'm the type of person who can talk herself into having symptoms (headache, cramps, that sort of thing.)

smilanatu and treelo: so sorry about AF

tempus--Hey, glad your back! I have a Dollar Tree here,too, but don't worry, I won't be buying anymore HPT's from there! Bought a new one from WalMart yesterday and will use it tomorrow! Feeling pretty nervous! :excited:

Jen - so u have decided to test on Thursday? cos of the day ahead, when I said "1 day to go" I meant cos today is Thursday and one more day would be the Friday :lol:!!! U do what u like honey - it's ur bod after all!!! I have everything crossed for u :hug:

hey tempus - yeah, I've changed my approach a little and not reading much of anything into anything - I do that, one day something will really trouble me, the next it's like "what was it that was bothering me?". So it's a fairly cruisy day today :dance: GL to u honey - I sure do wish it for u :)

I hear u all on the age factor. I will be 37 next month & I feel I am trying to fall pg at least one more time before I am 40 but if I didn't by then, would I keep going? And if I had one more, would I perhaps try for a third? Boy! I'm having trouble with the whole 37 thing - but I know what I'm like, when I hit 37 I'll feel it's not so bad - I always feel like I am 10 years younger anyway. Anyway, that's my ramble.

:crossfingers: everyone!

my age thing comes from my mum - i'm the youngest of 7 kids and mum was 40 when i was born, i always thought she was old and didn't want to do the same to my kids, but when it comes down to it, i know i still feel quite young, so i should be the same, just don't want to get old and cranky with a little one.

jen - good luck for tomorrow we'll all cross our fingers for you

plc--Yep, I think I'm going to give it a go tomorrow! Just can't handle the extra day, I just have to know one way or the other. Still feeling tingling in bb's, have been gassy and bloated last night and tonight, plus the cold sore... My body better not be playing a cruel trick on me! :pray:


Thanks mollycat! We must have been typing our posts at the same time! I'll keep everyone posted!

Why is it that our bodies seem to enjoy playing tricks on us? POAS= :bfn: I have to say, I really thought it would turn out different :( My last hope is that it's just still too early, although I doubt it. Technically could still have conceived on 14th which was the last time we BD'd, which would probably make it too early for a + result, but I don't want to get my hopes up about that.

mollycat...I said the same thing...if I'm not pregnant by 36 I am finished...BUT here I am just turned 37 a couple of weeks ago and I want another child!!! So treelo...don't put limits on yourself...everything will work in its own time...we just want it when we want it which is NOW!!!

:hug: Oh Jen - that is SO disappointing :( I know, it sounded so promising!!! But u know that u should wait for AF cos that witch really sorts out whether u r or not. :hug:

treelo - ul get there honey - we all will!!!

plc--Thanks again, and sorry for mixing you up with AJC! :lol: I woke up at 3 and had to pee so bad, but wanted to save it till I got up to POAS. So I slept terrible from 3-5 till I finally couldn't hold it anymore and had to get up. I must say, I really think I kinda went into shock or something--I just really thought it would be positive, KWIM? Of course you do, everyone here does--which is why it's so comforting here with all of you!

Thanks to everyone--don't know what I would do without you all! :grouphug:

honey - how r u doin? U ok? chin up, hun, ur still not out for this cycle.... huge hugs!!

Well I am done for this month. AF the horrible cow arrived at 6am this morning with a bang.:doh: I was so sure that I would be celebrating this month. With all of the sick feelings and milk coming from BBs. I guess I ws just being fooled yet again.
Well roll on next TWW. Who knows, it may just be our lucky month.
Take care everyone.
Kim

Cieras mummy--Sorry to hear about AF :( I, too, thought I would be celebrating. How can our bodies play such tricks on us? :angry:

I've been watching this show called Miami Ink, it's about a tattoo shop. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but there was an Australian woman on that kept cracking me up. She made me think of all my new Aussie friends! It was so cute, though, she pronounced tattoo as "tadoo"--and I love it! Is that how you pronounce it? It was really cute and gave me my first chuckle of the day! :lol: I wish I could hear these posts instead of having to read them--I love the accent!

Keeping my chin up, plc! Hanging in there.... On the same show I was just telling you about, there was a man getting a tattoo in remembrance of his wife and baby. She was pg. and there were complications, and he ended up losing BOTH of them! It really put things in perspective for me... Our losses were so great, but could you imagine how our families would've felt if they'd lost us as well? It made me feel like a schmuck for feeling sorry for myself all day!

My favourite show Jen....and some of the stories on there, really make you take stock of what you have and realise that things could have been so much worse.
sorry about your bfn hun, but as i always say, it aint over till the fat lady sings....so there is still a little hope there.
:grouphug: for us all, we are in this fight together.


treelo

Hi ladies,

Hope you're all doing well.

Well im back in the TWW....here we go again hey??? :rolleyes:

Thankgod all you wonderful ladies are here to talk to, I cant remember how I got through the tww before I found BB :)

Sorry for the short impersonal post but I must put my chef skills (yeah right!) into action and whip something up to feed the family...duty calls

:hug: to all,

Issy

Welcome back Issy - yay on ur bd fest and now it's time for a rest :) (aren't I the poet?!) GL sweet!!

treelo--Hope AF is taking it easy on you! Still no AF for me, but I don't hold out much hope that she won't show. I'm just not that lucky, honestly, it's been my life story! Only once did it work out in my favor, and that was when I was pg with my 14 yo DS. When I was about 2 mo's pg I had to have my appendix removed. They told me that he would probably spontaneously abort, and I was so sad, but what choice did I have? They wouldn't even let me leave the hospital to go home and pack some things. My appendix ended up rupturing during surgery, and I was in the hospital for 5 days with a tube & bag hanging from my stomach. It was still too early to hear a :heartbeat:, and I was only 18, so they weren't overly concerned with the fact that I was pg. It was such a miracle that he survived! Now he's a grumpy teenager that at times I feel like strangling--but I wouldn't change it for the world! BTW, I like your new ticker!

issy--:welcome: back to the tww!

plc-- :hello: When do you test?

Cierasmummy--Hope AF's not being too hard on you! :crossfingers: for next cycle!

Oh Jen - I'm embarrassed to say that I tested yesterday at 8DPO. Can u believe it??? It was negative, of course! I was so weak!! So now I feel foolish and am determined to not read into any symptoms or test til AF is due which I think will be Sat May 3. It could come 2 days earlier cos I o-ed 2 days earlier. FF will say to test at 18DPO which makes it Mon May 5. Just see how we go. I'm just so annoyed at myself for caving so early.

I hope AF is at the start of a long holiday for u sweet - still have my fingers crossed!!

Hi everyone else - hope ur ok.

plc--You're not weak or foolish! Every single one of us, I'm sure, has done the same thing--at least I have! The desire to be pg is just so strong for all of us, and it's so hard being patient--and you keep thinking you're noticing all these signs and symptoms... Trust me, I know! And just so you know, I did the same thing a week ago--knowing it was too early, but asking that never ending question of "what if?". And I kept telling myself it was too early, and it would be negative--but I did it anyway! So don't look at it like we were weak or we caved, we're just passionate about what we want--and we want it NOW!

Still no AF for me... noticed a couple twinges in my tummy yesterday and today, and I keep thinking that it will progress into cramps, but it's nothing consistent. And it's been different than regular cramps, too, but probably just due to my cycle being off or something. Would love to think it's still a possibility for me, but I just have a feeling it's not this month, and I just don't want to get my hopes up to have them knocked down so quickly. I sure do wish I would've waited until today to test, like I originally said I was going to do, but it probably would've ended with the same result anyhow so it really doesn't matter. My poor bb's have been squeezed, poked, and prodded so much the last couple days, I'm surprised they haven't fallen off yet! :rofl:

I hope AF falls off the face of the earth and we all have a nice long holiday together! :goodluck2: for May 3 (or 5th). :pray: you get your BFP!

Im sooooo frustrated.....

I woke up this morning with tingly bb's (usually the start of them becoming very very sore). They are starting to feel tender which usually means AF will arive in about 10-14 days (yes, i usually have sore bb's for about 2 weeks before AF arrives :wall:)

This seems to happen when im pg and not pg, but never this early (as in dpo). I dont think this is a great sign. Oh well, only time will tell.

So anyway, after that whinge :rolleyes:....I hope everyone else is well today. Have a great weekend, and take care of yourselves :hug:.

Issy.

issy-- Sorry you're feeling so frustrated! Stay positive, hun, there's still time! :hug:

:hello: to everyone else! Hope everyone's having a great weekend! :grouphug:
