Hi everyone! well I am 11 DPO and it's all very familiar .....very prominent signs for me but I guess you never know until those lines show up eh? I haven't even got HPT in the house to test as I thought I'd absolutely wait it out but now I am beginning to weaken and think I might test tomorrow......
So I'll be back......wish me luck! -x-
oh and ignore my mood icon I'm not sad but it won't change??
UPDATE!!!! caved in bought a test and within 2 mins......BFP!!!!!! Hopefully third time lucky!!!!!!! -x-
Congratulations Dawneee, that's fantastic news!!! You just have to get your "my mood" to change now lol
Thats awsome news Dawnee, congratulations !!
Thanks everyone! I really hope this one sticks :) Hmmmm time to try change that Damn Mood AGAIN! :)
Zionsmum im so sorry hun, it must be so upsetting to not know whats going on with your body. I have just started taking Vitex, and i have heard its really good for bringing on ovulation and af. Im not sure what else to suggest.
I started a thread asking some questions about Vitex, maybe the answers might be helpfull to you, thats if you dont already know about it??
hugs
treelo
Congrats Dawnee - Glad to hear it :)
Yahhhh for Dawnee.It is a sticker!!!
I am still waiting, waiting, waiting.
Hi all,
Dawnee - congratulations! That's fantastic news. Do you mind if I ask, did you do anything differently this month from previous months? Am keen to hear & learn from others!!! I'm not officially in TWW yet, but gearing up for it!
Thanks to those who did respond to me! I think I am going to call my doctor and try and see whats going on, I have never been like clock work but I usually don't skip a month so its new to me.
Treelo~ Hope your birthday was great, sorry about your son's accident, its just the worst when your child is in pain. I know what you mean about the homebody thing, thats me for sure too! :)
hello ladies, congrats to each of you who have had :bfp: lately.
I am testing 17th october, anyone else testing around then?
I am already starting to analyse what my body is doing and FF hasnt even given me a coverline yet :lol:
Today my tummy is feeling weird. I feel like my stomach has expanded to triple its normal size. I feel majorly bloated and have had a subtle nagging pain all day ... i couldnt have symptoms already surely???? or maybe its just all in my head, hoping and :pray: that I am pg lol ......
Rock on the 17th, ironically that is our 3rd wedding anniversary so I will be absolutely over the moon if the test comes up +ve
I can see the waiting is gonna majorly do my head in haha .... now I know how painful the TWW really is!
Sending babydust everyone's way......
hi sasha...was going to be testing 17/10/07. same day as you. had a little spot an hour ago so not so sure atm.
m/c naturally last month (began on fathers day of all days) and temps looked good up until this morning (7dpo)...thought it was an implantation dip and still hoping that this spot is a good spot....
vlad, could be an implantation spot? I have my fingers crossed for you honey and hopefully we can announce our :bfp: together on the 17th :D
As for me well I have already brought a 2pack of Confirm hpt's and today i saw a 2pk of Assurance plus on special so decided to buy them too haha
Decided I am going to use an 'assurance' test on saturday (7dpo) first thing then do another one monday (9dpo) then use the confirm on the 17th when I will be 11dpo so at least I will have all my bases covered hehe
In regards to BBT do they have to keep rising or is just being above the coverline on your chart a good sign???
sasha28 - your temp after O should be at least .4 of a degree higher than your coverline and if conception is achieved it would rise even higher after implantation and keep rising as you get close to AF time. It would be very noticeable on your chart. I only had one pregnant cycle in all my temping cycles and it was no surprise when I got a positive test as you could see it with the rise in temps. I wouldn't test until 10DPO though because hardly anyone ever gets a positive before then and it just becomes a waste of money testing early month after month...just a little piece of advice.
satya - thanks for that! hmm unsure now if my chart looks promising or not lol
All i know is that the way I have been feeling the past week is definitely not 'normal' - major bloating, pains in tummy like slight burning sensation, felt slightly nauseous but not first thing in the morning usually mid morning and later at night.
Ahhh well time will tell I guess. You have made me re-think about testing and I have decided now to hold off till Wednesday (like FF said). geez the waiting is so hard, I just want to know especially because I work in the fitness industry and instruct I dont want to over exert myself too much.
I agree with you wasting $$$ on hpt's..... i know now how some women become POAS addicts :lol:
Seeing doctor next thursday for something else so I am going to ask him for a referral for a BT too
I will keep you posted :)
Sasha28...Oh I wish you the best of luck sweetie....my BT is on the 19th and Im freaking out....Im not sure whether I have any symptoms or its just the affects of the drugs... I am dying to get a HPT but Im too scared incase it is a BFN and then I have a week of even worse anxiety.....what to do what to do?????
Did you have a blast??? Mine was a 5 day blast transfer..they say htey have a higher success rate dont they????????????GOD THIS IS DOING MY HEAD IN
Sasha...OMG your onthe Gold Coast too......do you go to Southport Monash....we have probably been sitting in the waiting room together!!!!!
oops i just realised I am in the wrong '2ww' thread lol I havent had miscarriage or loss..... silly me!
Would it still be ok to post in here or do I have to ship out lol
Yes Carla I am on the Coast. I live at Burleigh. I have already decided that I will be going to John Flynn as I have PHI with Medibank private (providing my BT is positive of course)
Going off the way I have been feeling I am pretty sure that I am indeed PG
My friend is 6 mnths pregnant at the moment and she is booked in for c/s at Pindara :)
Good luck with your BT on Friday, let me know when you have the results :)
Hi Sasha
Thats great youo feel that way....can I ask???when did you start feeling that way..I dont think I have any symptoms..I dont know......I dont feel sick or anything and now I am getting worried???
Hi everyone. Well here I am, back again in the horrid TWW. Dh and I decided to try again this month, despite the fact that last month was going to be the last try for a while ;). It was mainly DH who wanted to keep trying, I was feeling a bit..well, not so keen, wanting to avoid disappointment I think. We BDed on day 11, and I'm pretty sure I O'd overnight between day 13 and day 14. On day 14 I had a nap and a dream that I gave birth, the baby nearly died, but was then fine and one our friends was there helping us establishing breastfeeding. Woke up from that dream at about 5pm, rang DH who was on his way home and tearfully told him I really did want a baby, but it was going to be too late this cycle. We BDed anyway, on that day (14) at about 5:30pm..hoping we have a chance of catching the egg. I double checked how long sperm can live inside, and I'm thinking that some sperm from the BD on day 11 could have easily still been alive and kicking (or swimming), waiting for the egg, and you never know, maybe the BD on day 14 would catch it (if my egg came out at about 2am on day 14..eggs can live 12-24 hours). Hoping..hoping. Been taking the pre-natal vitamins, avoiding the wrong foods, but have relaxed a little bit. I went back to my regular tea as the caffiene free just wasn't working for me :/ I figured I did *everything* right last month, and it didn't work..just going to relax a little. Avoid alcohol and the bad foods, take vitamins. Hopefully all will be well!
I've been trying not to think about it too much, but have spent hours recently reading about homebirths, waterbirths, doulas and private midwives, and talking to DH about it, watching videos, etc. So..kind of thinking about it...yeah -_-
How's everything else going with the wait? Think some of DH's swimmers could have caught the egg?

hey Carla, I have been feeling weird since about wednesday last week. Haven't actually vomitted but had bouts of feeling nauseous on and off and just felt really uncomfortable whilst sitting down; extreme bloating which for me is soo not normal. It is almost like I have a few rolls on my stomach and when I am seated they all condense together, its horrible as my stomach is quite flat so an unusual feeling for me. Even now as I type this i have a weird feeling in my stomach, I dunno its hard to describe. All I know is that I dont normally get this hence why am confident that I am pg but who knows time will tell. 3 more days to go,arrghhh! The wait is so hard. I just want to know!
I wouldnt worry too much about whether or not you are feeling any symptoms yet; each woman is so different. Just try to relax and not analyze things too much, its early days. I know its hard; I have learnt that only just now going through the 2WW lol
Sending heaps of :bluedust: and hoping your BT on friday brings you your :bfp:
Keep thinking positive thoughts ok!
I have my :crossfingers: for you!
Just wanted to drop in and wish you girls GOOD LUCK. I have my Bridal Shower today.
Thankyou Sasha
I really hope it goes wellfor you on Wednesday. i will be on everyday and hope you tell us right away!!! I'll be definetley waiting!!!
last night i felt a little 'wierd' and came down with a blasting headache which I still have now.....was laying in bed and was getting feelings of slight waves but didnt feel sick in my stomach...thats what i mean about 'weird'....It might be all n my head I dont know......your encouraging words help believe me. I am trying not to be so negative towards the whole thing.....the common question asked "WHY ME" well in my case and many of OUR case at the moment its "WHY NOT ME!!" Anyway....fingers crossed and please keep intouch!!
Hey Sasha28 - im praying for a BFP for you on the 17th!
Hi Sasha
I started bleeding today and my nurse wants me to call again on Tuesday..looks like I will have to try and find the courage to start again..My DH and I are devasted.
Hi ladies,
Another TWW commencing for me now. Am really not confident that DH and I hit the mark this month, as I had positive OPKs on day 13 & 14 but CM still EW on day 16 - we BD'd days 13, 14 & 16. I think the formulations that my naturopath put me on brough 'O' forward one day. Temps are not telling me anything this month because I have not been sleeping well - lucky to be getting 3 straight hours of sleep. TMI Warning...we tried different positions this month to compensate for my retroverted uterus, but I've since read that I should try lying on my stomach after Bd'ing (rather than the normal suggestion of lying on back), so we've got more to try next month now - things aren't dull in the bedroom, that's for sure! My DH said to me this morning that he's really hoping that we fall pg this month, which brings a tear to my eye...I tend to look past what DH is feeling about it all, because he really doesn't talk about it without me raising it! I think he can now see that all our friends have kids or are pg, and he now wants it just as much as I do. We're going to be away in Sydney the week I'm due to test, so that's going to be a nice distraction - at least I won't go through so many HPTs!
Acria - I can empathise with the whole wondering about whether you BD'd on the right days to have swimmers reach the egg! My DH & I were just too tired last week to BD on every single one of the 'right' nights. I've read that sperm can live a number of days in the right environment, so it's highly possible that your DH's swimmers could have been hanging around waiting for your egg to arrive on day 13/14. I'm glad to hear your DH is wanting to keep on trying, but I really hope this is your month!
Carla sorry to hear you starting bleeding hon but guess what I have started to spot too. I am hoping it is implantation spotting and not the start of AF. It is different to how my AF usually starts so fingers crossed it will be gone in the morning as I have to open the gym at 5.30am and teach a spin class at 6.15am so it better be gone lol :lol:
Dont count yourself out yet, depending on how bad the bleeding is of course.... it could be implantation???
hj1981, wowzer - thanks for praying for me!
I will definitely let you girls know the outcome as soon as I know!
Hope you both had a good weekend!
Hey Sash
Oh no not you too.....mine seems to have stopped but I have clotted abit.....i dont think its a proper AF but I think its a bit too much for just an implantation bleed. You still haev some hope....Becareful with that class int he morning....keep me posted.
Wowzer - what did you do for your bridal shower?
Hows things going for everyone else?
Can someone please tell me what my ticker says - this computer at work dosent show it!
Im going to do my first OPK test today! hopefully it helps!
hey carla, well I still have bleeding. Same as you ironically, I have clotted a bit this morning too :cry: :dunno: what to make of it.
Anyone good at intepretating charts? I had a drop of 0.4 this morning. I am starting to think that that is a bad thing but guess I have to wait to see what my temp does tomorrow I guess before I count myself well and truly down and out for this month lol
I like you, am thinking the same thing re: not being a proper AF but too much to be implantation??? Thinking I will wait until tomorrow and do a hpt just to see what it shows. I have had way too much water today, I would probably be just wasting a test.
I am praying so hard for the both of us .... please let these little ones stick!
Keep me posted with how you're going :)
Hi Sash
OH NO....I have lost hope all together but with what you have said maybe there is some hope for us both.....OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... I just think mine is a little too much for an implantation too....My crinone is there too...and its brown????????
I didnt think it would happen this close to BT to be fine......you hav such great positive vibes......GL GL GL GL GL GL..
Do you still have any symptoms???? I have nothin Still so thats why i dont hold much hope for me!!!
Im going to do a HPT too...in the morning...first up......bugga it..why not....Im only feeling the worst anyway so it wont be much of a suprise...I am over the initial shock of it..so I will just solider on.....
has anyone heard from Arielle???? She is getting BT results at 3pm!!!
hey carla,
did a hpt this morning and no surprise it was negative :(
Have just been to the loo and started to get red blood so I am thinking of just counting today as CD1 :dunno:
DH has to go to dr on thursday for results of some blood work he had done.
Was thinking of having a BT done but I dont know whether it is worth being dissapointed. I am pretty sure that what I have now is AF sadly :cry:
Ahhh well...... onto next cycle....
How are things with you?
Hi Sasha
Oh Im so sorry huni........its sooooo horrible. I did another one this morning although AF has now got stronger. I already knew the results but just wanted to do it anyway. Oh babe, I know exactly how you feel. Im so soo sorry. Im trying to snap myself out of the depression mood but it doesnt seem to want to go away. We will have to wait for next month too.......where you on a Stim Cycle.....????? Your first???? It was my first Stim cycle.....we have 3 frozen angels and are thinking of transferring 2 next time. Oh please try and smile.....we will both be ok....we have each other to bounce off, you certainly have helped me! So thankyou.
Sash
I also think if you are doing a natural cycle..you have to actually wait unitl your NEXT cycle...not this one. We need to ask that question. They still want me to have my BT on Friday....Im going find out everything then.
and another two week wait begins............................................ .........
Sasha and Carla im so sorry about the BFN, sending big hugs to you both.
Thanks Treelo
hate this feeling..
yep i know hun, and unfortatly it doesnt get any easier either, but you just have to try to be as strong as you possibly can. Im sure in two weeks time i will be back feeling the same way too.
hugs sweety
Treelo
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont say that.......things will be ok for you...it just wasnt my time this time.....
Be strong too......I think we all need hugs...........Im so tired of feeling sad.....and fat....and emotional and everything else......but htere has to be light at the tunnel for us all!!
