Revised 2WW (Oct)

October 02, 2008

OK ladies here it is.. the new 2WW post since the other one was messed up. Lets hope that this one works out.

Well I did some calculating and it seems to me that AF comes every 26 days and that means that I have a 12LP not 14 so with that said that means AF is due on 10/6 but I will not be testing until 10/8 incase she wants to be funny.

Good luck ladies and hope we get BFP's this month.. woohoo!!

October 02, 2008

ahhhhh much better.. ty katie!

October 02, 2008

Good luck Katie! I think I'm on cd 1...if I should count this af...?

October 02, 2008

Now I can see this post better...idk why the other 1 was orange..lol!

October 02, 2008

YW ladies.. at least we can read this one. HEHE!

October 02, 2008

Much better.

Hey, I love your pic Jilly.

October 02, 2008

Don't know when or if I ovulated this month, but I'm on CD 22 today. I averaged out my last 18 cycles (been TTC for 3 years now) and found that my average is 24 days, but AF has come anywhere from CD 17 - CD 32 in the past. My cycles are usually around 25 days long, very rarely going longer than 28 days.

I'm not worried about it or stressing at all, but for fun... when do you all think I should test? I'm having symptoms, but trying not to think about it because sometimes my mind plays tricks on me.

October 02, 2008

Thank you thank you....

I'm 9dpiui and getting inpatient...do I dare test early or just wait til the blood test on tuesday?

October 02, 2008

Ok, I can see this much better. I don't know what happened with the other one.

I'm only 1DPO but I'm here!

October 02, 2008

Hello all. Well I don't know when AF will start for me. I had and loss my son 8/29. BFN test. Positive opk on 9/17. Today 14dpo no test, spotting at 9am. Nothing else all day. Why is af playing tricks with me? I wish she would come and get the hell on.

October 02, 2008

Hello Ladies!

Katie, thanks for the new post...much better!

Jilly, I must agree with Michelle. I like your pic too! I live in Oregon, so any kind of support for the republican ticket is rare, lol!

Wannabe, any chance you have a luteal phase defect? I have inconsistent cycle lengths (24-33 days in the last six months, with the most common length being 27). After charting for six months, I discovered this and I just received confirmation from my doctor today that it is most likely a luteal phase defect (LPD).

Alright ladies, I had my long awaited doctor appointment today (the one I had to reschedule from two weeks ago when AF showed)...

He looked at my charts and agreed that I have a luteal phase defect. I am not consistently defective (hahaha), but enough that most of our ttc opportunities are affected by this. He prescribed all natural progesterone suppositories for me to try for three months (I am not at all excited about the suppository part, but I am very happy that we have a compound pharmacy capable of making the natural progesterone version of the suppository).

He told me that I am not infertile and to give ourselves a few more months before a semen analysis. So, overall I feel great about the visit.

1dpo and counting :).

October 02, 2008

Here's what I posted on the other thread:

count me in!

I'm 5-6dpiui (we did a double IUI this month cuz timing was funny). No symptoms... but it's early.

I found out 45 minutes before my first IUI this month that my best friend is expecting. They've been thru IUI, IVF, surgery and finally FET to get where they are now.

So, now I REALLY wanna get prego this cycle so we can have kiddos close together in age!

This was my 3rd IUI cycle with Clomid & Ovidrel. We've been TTC #2 for 1 year and we TTC #1 for 3 1/2 years before conceiving naturally.

Good Luck ALL

Hi everyone. This is much easier on the eyes. TY So I am on cd30,12dpo as of fri. Af due saturday. I'm curious if you tested again michelle or are holding out.

Jilly-hot pic & sheppler- my SIL lives in OR and feels the same,glad your appt. went well

Caranti-It would be early for me to test. I sort of don't believe it either way so I am trying to hold out for lateness. I would have to beat the blood test to the punch though:)

ashmcc- I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby. I didn't realize. maybe not my business, but did you go to term? Good for you for trying again. We lost our 3yr old son in'04.(never sick a day in his life and then a blood test showed up weird at check up. Things were a mystery until an emergency trip to hospital diagnosed him w/ leukemia. Bad cells were totally gone and went into remission within two weeks, but he died from an infection obtained in the hospital 3 days later. Really felt a little like a car wreck. The whole ordeal came out of nowhere and was over before we knew it) Sorry if that was TMI. Trust me- I use to have to give a muuuch longer story even trying to keep it short. Anyway, it's really hard to be positive that soon after a loss. I am aware words don't help, but try to keep your chin up. You'll make it! Some days will just be harder than others. I'm sure everything will work out eventually.

Good luck to those still waiting.Lots of BABYDUST for everyone!!! Lets get a couple BFPs

October 03, 2008

whoosh- I was a chatty kathy

October 03, 2008

OK ladies.. IM 10dpo and nothing so far. Im waiting until AF is late to test. I refuse to see another BFN. I would rather see AF and then start my IUI cycle.

Good luck ladies and screaming to the world WE WANT OUR BFP'S!!! HEHE!

October 03, 2008

nightowl, i'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I had no idea.

I was going to test this morning, but my temp dropped .6 to my coverline this morning...on prometrium, so I will just take the prom until tomorrow like i'm supposed to and wait for af. no sense in wasting money on tests.

I really felt different this time,too. oh well.

October 03, 2008

Michelle, is your prometrium oral or are you using suppositories? I am starting progesterone suppositories tonight, and I am not excited about it...

October 03, 2008

thx nightowl and shep:) makes me feel good to know theres still fellow Maccain followers out there..lol they're rare here in Mi:(

well im on CD 47 now and still no af. BUT im taking Provera 5mg to get things going. Lets hope i can soon join u all in the 2WW soon! Im so anxious to start w/ u all!!

October 03, 2008

Thanks nightowl, It's ok I didn't go to term only 15 weeks he mesured at 18 weeks stil mistery to me. I'm so sorry about your son. That is much harder to deal with then a sudden loss of a growing belly. I can't imagine how you felt. I am sure it gets a little better now. I wish you all the happiness in the world in your journey of ttc again. Maybe you talking with us makes all of us stronger. And know it is possible to dance in the rain and not run from it. Thank you for sharing that with me. I know how hard it was for me to share what I went through that horrible Friday evening. I hope you get that BFP soon

Baby Dust to All you guys.

Jilly, Congrats on making a new step hun. I think it's great you can rejoin the wagon. I am trying to get AF back in wack too. I'm on CD36 if you count Lochia as a cycle. I can't wait for you to post about your 2ww with us. Good LUck hun!~~

October 03, 2008

Hey ladies... I will be taking the progesterone support also during my IUI if af shows for me.

Im not looking forward to that either... grrr..

October 03, 2008

good luck katie!

October 03, 2008

Shep, I was taking prometrium and it made me extremely emotionally, angry, basically PSYCHO..they changed me to suppositories and they are so much better...hate the way I have to use them, but at least I'm sane again.

October 03, 2008

I'm taking mine orally, but I don't think I took enough this cycle. Next cycle I'm going to start it the day I ovulate.

October 03, 2008

Hey y'all.

I'm now 7 dpiui. I have a tiny symptom, which may or may not be a symptom, but it's different from my first 2 IUI's.

I have a LOT of CM... TMI ahead: it's the lotion-like stuff. But there's definitely more of it than I normally experience in the 2ww. Dr. Eva said that since estrogen is elevated during pregnancy, one COULD consider more CM a symptom, though not an accurate one.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I felt a lot better about how the timing went this month.

**BABYDUST to ALL***
