Two Week Wait Support...

How is everyone? Just wondering although I have seen a couple of you throughout the boards. :)

I'm still as annoyed as ever, waiting and waiting for AF to show her face

Hey Diane,

I am back in the tww again currently 5dpo so getting a little anxious! I am so hoping this is my cycle for a bfp, this cycle is different to the last cycle as my temps prior to O were lower and same a post O temps so I am hoping that is a good sign that this is it. Have you been temping now? Has AF arrived

I would normally be in my tww wait now but this is my 1st cycle since my latest m/c and my temps have been extremely erratic so I have no idea if I am. I had a huge dip on CD13 (.6 of a degree) followed by a .5 jump the following morning and it's been there for two days now but it is about .2 lower than my usual post O temps so I don't think it's happened yet. I have had some pain like I get around O time as well and a few pimples like I usually get mid cycle so it makes me think I might've but the temps just don't look right.

satya~ I am just so sorry that you have had to go through all of this, I hope that time flies and you find yourself with a healthy and happy pregnancy very soon.

Cherie~ I hope the tww flies although it never does! I haven't been doing anything concerning ttc at the moment. I had family in from out of town and have been really busy. I am about 4 weeks late for my last AF it never came in July and is still missing although at this point I know that it means that I just skipped a month! With graduating and finishing up with my projects I guess it was stress. Now at the beginning of the month I wasn't sure if I would still ovulate but we did BD 3,7,10,12,18 I should get my AF the 26th or so if I don't I am going to test. If I test and its neg. than I am going to call my doctor and see whats wrong with me! :)

Lizjessie~ I completely understand the annoyed feeling I have felt that way since June now! :)

Diane - sounds like stress may have kept your AF away last cycle. I am ttcing this cycle but not in earnest. Because my gyno has told me I will probably keep m/c until after the lap is done I probably shouldn't be at all, but because I don't know how much longer I could have to wait we are giving it a shot. I think I'm at 1 DPO as I had another rise in temp this morning and it's about where I usually am around O, plus I had more O type pain yesterday. Normally now I get stuck in to my pineapple juice but this cycle I'm just going to let nature take it's course.... if it's meant to be it will be. It will probably actually be a relief if I'm not pg this cycle cos if I am I will go into a mad panic thinking I'm about to m/c again.

Dianne- My cycles had been like that and I saw my obstertrician who said some women's bodys just take a little longer to get back to normal again and he told me 3 to 6 months. My second cycle after my miscarriage was about 60 days long and then my next one was 46 and now this one will only be 37 so it is slowly getting back to my normal 32 to 34 day cycle. I hope things get a little less stressful for you and you get that BFP soon!

Satya- I am your cycle is almost back to normal! I hope your lap is soon it must be really hard to wait when you just want to be able to ttc without the worry of miscarrying. Goodluck.

Liz- I saw AF finnally arrived for you! I remember how exciting that was for me knowing now you can start offically ttc. Good luck I have my fingers crossed for all of us to get BFP's

As for me I am getting anxious to test and I am only 6dpo! I have saw boobs, crampy, headaches and peeing alot. Just like last cycle I am probably reading to much into it. I just know I will be upset if i am not pregnant this cycle. I see there is people who have been trying for a year or more and that scares me.
Oh well only 8 more days till testing!

Cherie - just some of my stats that may help you. My first pg took 3 years to achieve 10 years ago. The second one took 9 months to achieve, the third one took 5 cycles..... and I'm 41. I've seen lots of younger women have success within 3 months after a m/c.

I just hate the tww. It drives me absolutely insane. I am constantly googling symptoms and I even have a spreadsheet at work now to track symptoms.

I'm going to try not to obsess this time. I think we've timed things well this time but I'm not going to drink pineapple juice to help implantation this time. I normally do, but if the gyno is right it's probably best for me not to conceive until the lap anyway. I also have not been taking vitex (only because I ran out) and I'm not sure when I will start that up again. I think because of this it is very unlikely that I will get lucky this cycle.

I'm going to join you guys in the two week wait except I feel like I have had so many BFP this year (3 in eight months) that I really am beginning to wonder if I should even bother to test. Don't get me wrong I love home pregnancy tests and the little line and the excitement but I haven't enjoyed the let down soon after when I miscarry. I can't help but thinking maybe I wouldn't be as upset If I didn't know I was pregnant. I unfortunatly am one of those women who KNOW they are pregnant long before I can test So there goes the "ignorance is bliss" idea. I am 4 days past O and wanting to get my hopes up but not sure how I will not drive myself crazy in the meantime.

Thanks cherie! I'm glad things are starting to look up for me :D

Satya- You made me laugh about the spreadsheet at work of all the syptoms can you pass me on a copy ;)! I google as well hoping it is going to tell me I am pregnant!
The pinapple juice is interesting! How often are you ment to drink it?

Jayney- Gee three little angels in 8 months that is really tough:hugs:
Are you seeing a FS? Is there a reason why you have had so many miscarriages?
(I hope you don't mind me asking :redface:))

We seem to be all pretty close in DPO
SATYA: 1 DPO
JAyNEY: 4 DPO
CHERIE: 6DPO

I have been very crampy today so totally getting my hopes up as I dont ever get cramps this early before af is due, but since the miscarrage nothing is how it was before so who knows!
:pray: for all of us!

Cherie - I normally drink a glass of pineapple juice each day from O until I suspect I'm pg or AF arrives. You have to stop when you think you could be pg as it can bring on contractions so no pineapple juice at all when you are successful.

I've developed a nasty headache today that's just not going away. If I was further along in my cycle I'd be imagining it as a symptom of early pg, but it really just makes me more sure that I did O yesterday as the lower estrogen can at O can bring on headaches. My temps have been so crazy this cycle though I could still be wrong and I could've O'd a few days ago and just not had as big a rise as what I normally have. Normally I can tell exactly when I O it's so frustrating.

Satya~ I know I will be paniced when or If i get pregnant again. You wouldn't even believe all the "symptoms" I google! Thanks for the spreadsheet idea! ;) I am going to use that. :)

Cherie~ Don't let the cramps fool you lots of women feel that way and get BFP's I know I did!

By this time last month I think I had taken 2 tests I am determined to not do that, especially since I am counting myself out for the most part. Grrrrrr Last month at this time I had put symptoms in my mind this time I don't feel a single thing not even AF symptoms. I am so frustrated with my body. Does anyone know if its possible to ovulate this month when I missed a period last month? I am so selfish to talk about myself so much but I am so upset thats not helping my cause very much> :)

Diane- Thanks for the encouragement. Its not a selfish post, I know how hard it is when you don't know what is going on with your body! I had a few blood tests done when my af didn't show to check all my levels. The bt checked to see if I had ovulated or if my progesterone levels were still low then it ment I hadn't ovualted yet. I still ovulated but it was really late! Have you thought of getting some test done? At least you will know where you are in your cycle. I also use opk's now and they have been great for me and the day after my positive my temp goes up. I aso think you should another hpt because there are some women who dont show up until really late eg one women was DPO 22! So if you get the blood test done they will check your hcg levels as well.
I hope you find out what is going on soon!

Satya- Sorry your temps are being a pain! Mine are lower this time round so hoping it is a good sign!

Crampy again today and tingling nipples (TMI) and omg the worst skin breakout I feel like a teenager again its horrible but I hope it is a good sign!
7 DAYS TILL TESTING AGHHHHH!!!!!

Cherie26- I don't mind you asking. I have no idea why I honestly don't think there is a medical reason why. Just chances. I am healthy and have already had two perfect pregnancies and deliveries. No problem. Many women wouldn't have known they were pregnant for two of my miscarriages as they were very early (4weeks 2days, 5weeks-following a miscarriage at 6weeks)

This week I went to my old GP (we moved just before all the miscarriages) in the town an hours drive away. She didn't have very much to say but was strangely comforting. The last pregnancy I was so worried about losing the baby I drove myself nuts. Resting, not lifting, eating perfectly, no booze( not that I really drink anyway) no coffee, no caffene..... My GP said "A strong pregnancy is a strong pregnancy. And to quit worrying about it." (I lead a pretty healthy life anyway so there isn't much different anyway) I don't feel like whether I miscarry or not is in my power anyway so......I have decided to carry on my life as usual.
Also as much as I want to guess if I am pregnant again or not I am trying to not pay attention to any signs I might be having as I have learned getting the BFP does not always mean baby. Sorry to sound so down I guess that is the price of having got my hopes up too many times. I just think if I didn't know I was pregnant maybe it wouldn't break my heart to miscarry. It could just be another period instead of another miscarriage.
On a positive note the getting pregnant is not a problem as almost every cycle we try-we conceive. So I am hoping that sooner ....please let it be sooner I will be blessed with my third baby and a strong pregnancy.

Jayney - 3 m/c in 8 months must have been tough. As you say though, you can get pregnant easily enough so maybe next time you will get lucky and the bub will stick. When you do get pregnant again it might be worth getting your progesterone levels tested as at your age (sorry not being mean, I'm 41) your progesterone levels might not be what they should be and you might need a little helping hand with it. I haven't had mine tested whilst pregnant but I will be next time.

Diane - Of course it's possible for you to O when you've missed an AF, and you are not being selfish.

Cherie - those are very good symptoms..... I hope they keep going. Tingling nipples & the big break out great signs. I have a bad habit of having symptoms in week 3 that are obviously O symptoms not pg symptoms but they disappear when I get in to week 4. At least I know not to get excited unless they keep on going into week 4.
:)

I'm pretty sure I'm 2DPO now. My temp has been up at normal post O temp for 2 days now so looks like all is working as it should be again. I guess that's the good thing about having early losses, it doesn't interfere with things too much.

The last 3 days have been not easy. I've had heaps of symptoms that I got early on with the last pregnancy including: zits, headache, feeling off, frequent urination, waking in the night to pee, bleeding gums, vivid dreams and difficulty sleeping. Luckily there are no BB symptoms so I'm putting it down to a huge hormone surge with the first O after the m/c. I'm sure it will all disappear after a few more days... but until then every little thing will drive me mental as usual.

Hello, ladies.

I’m back in the 2ww again. Satya, I’m about the same place in my cycle as you again this time and I too have a lot of symptoms each month that could be pg, but happen too early. Last week I had two days of heavy nausea, bb tenderness, and a day of headaches. Thankfully, I recognized the pattern this time. I was travelling too, so I took a few sick bags (empty ones!) from the planes home with me for when I really need them (which I’m hoping will be soon).

Zionsmom—congrats on your graduation!

Hope everyone else is well.

A Question???
I had a sharp sudden pain in my whole pelvic floor about 2dpo it lasted 5-10 minutes and for a few days following it was like I was left with a heaviness and my nerves remembered the pain and were more sensitive. Any ideas about what that was about?

Thanks for the tip about progesterone levels. I have another appointment with a different GP in my new town. Between the two Gp's I am hoping they can figure something out or that while they are deciding I will become pregnant and stay pregnant. One of them is looking into asprin to see if she thinks it will make a difference for me. She said she needs to do some research and check into things as multiple miscarriages is not something she sees often. I'm sure I'll hear pretty soon as she is a social aquaintance of mine.

I can't help looking for signs of pregnancy. Last night I was convinced I wasn't. I keep checking for BB but I am not sure. The last few times I KNEW one week before I could test so maybe not this month. A little down about that but it might give the DR's more time to consider what to do about me.

This experience has helped me to remember to treasure my two little monkeys and not to get too annoyed when they make a huge mess or fight or whine all day. but to snuggle them instead. Which makes me a bit of a push-over but I don't really care about that right now.
