Re: Anyone else in the 2WW?

  • Yep, I am. FF would have you believe I'm 4 DPO, but I adjusted it and am certain I'm only 3 DPO.

    Only "symptom" I've had all day today was mildly gaseous/crampy feeling in the lower ab area. I'm pretty sure it's just because I didn't have my usual daily #2 for whatever reason. The YI is overriding everything else!

    Only way in hell I'll be testing is if I get past 12 DPO. My last 2 or 3 LPs were only 11 days, and I pretty much always spot beforehand.

    CBHQ: If anyone who is not a dear friend or family dares to touch my stomach, I cannot be held accountable for my actions. I'm a very tactile person, but the stomach is OFF LIMITS, pregnant or otherwise, to anyone not in my innermost circle.

  • I'm in it! I think I'm around DPO 6.
    It's easy not thinking about it when I'm not temping. Usually are chart stalk none stop now I can't!

    Right now my boobs are sore and I've got A LOT of CM. but it's a bit early for symptoms.

    I won't be testing unless AF is a no show. Which is due around 10/7.

    CBHQ: I won't mind anyone I know touching it at all. Strangers would freak me out!

    I am!

    Where are you in the 2ww?  I'm at CD 21, so about 7 DPO

    How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom? I'm focusing on all the upcoming testing that's going to happen if I don't get pg this cycle and the scheduling of it all. Some breast tenderness and smell sensitivity, but I'm seriously broken out (only happens normally during AF) and TMI alert- I'm SUPER constipated. Never happens. Plus a dear friend of mine just went on bedrest and I'm going to be in the delivery room with her, so I've been helping her out and I'm making the cake for her diaper shower this weekend.
    Are you going to test? When?  I won't test unless AF is overdue by 2 days. I'm tired of wasting tests.

    CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you?  Not really. I could always change my mind, but I'm a pretty touchy feely person. I'm always VERY respectful of other ladies bumps though. I don't even ask. If it's volunteered, great.

    Edit: I'm due on 10/7 as well.

    8DPO- holy temp jump this morning!

    How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom?
    Luckily I work 3 in a row this week to keep me busy, and I doubted FF for the first 3-4 days...
    Are you going to test? When?
    If my temps stay up where they are I will test Thursday and Friday.

    CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you?
    Family will be ok... I think the big problem I will have is my patients touching it. They don't have very good manners.

    @dangermuffin23, I hope this is it and you don't need more testing!!
    @Sewilson33, not temping left me too much in the dark. I've thought about not temping after O, but I want to know when AF will be here.
    @LuckyAngel07, you have more willpower than I do, I pee on everything!!
  • edited October 2013
    good luck ladies! I'm rooting for all of you! I'm pretty sure I'm out, my temp took a nosedive this morning. I'm expecting it to be below the CL tomorrow and AF shortly thereafter.

    And no, no touching. I hate when people touch me. FTN.
    ETA: yup--spotting has started. I'm out. GL everyone!!
  • I'm not sure. I decided that since we were pursuing testing that I would take a break this cycle. I really have no idea if I've even ovulated yet or not. My CM did seem like it was drying up but now it's back. I also usually get sore nipples around/after O and I haven't had that yet. I'm just hoping that I don't have a 100+ day cycle like I did last year at this time, especially since next cycle I have my HSG and we should be starting Clomid.

    I know I should probably test at some point but I have no cheapies and I'm less inclined to waste money on expensive tests. So I'll probably wait it out for a while and see what happens.

    Good luck, ladies! It will be amazing if this GP baby boom continues!

  • I'm on 12 DPO. I don't temp but I use OPKs, so that's what I'm basing it on. I took a test yesterday and it was a BFN, but I'm hoping it was just too early. The only symptom I have is that my breasts aren't sore they way they normally are before AF. I'm betting this is because I'm on progesterone though, so I'm not really getting my hopes up based on that. It won't annoy me when people I know touch my belly, but I can't imagine liking it when strangers might try to. Good luck to everyone in the 2WW!

    How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom? I'll try to chalk it up to progesterone suppositories or AF- I really try to not hold my hopes up too much.
    Are you going to test? When? Yep- October 13th. If negative, it will be a drunken Sunday

    CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you? I don't know- at this point, I think I won't care solely based on the fact I would be over the moon if I would be finally pregnant.

    Hi! Anyone remember me? We're TTC-ing #2 now :)

    I'm 7DPO according to FF, although I'm not 100% sure on that as it's really late for me (I usually O on CD12-14... this puts me O'ing at CD18). 

    I'm trying to hold out until Friday to start testing: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/3162e4

    My phantom symptom is bloating.. it's been really bad! I've been wearing my fat pants all week yet I haven't gained any weight!

    When I was pregnant, only ONE person touched my belly. It was weird, to put it mildly. She's one of those stick-thin people... I am not.

    How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom?
    I'm not...  I'm trying, though!  Stupid head games...

    Are you going to test? When?
    I'm going to TRY to wait and see if AF shows or not Tuesday, but I might POAS this weekend.

    CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you?
    Family and close friends don't need permission.  For everyone else, the rule is: ASK; then touch.

  • @blueeyedblossom - I found it harder to stop temping when I was temping up until I O'd.
    Since my LP are pretty regular I don't need to temp to see when AF is coming and I usually spot for like 3 days before she comes. So I know I'll have fair warning before the b*otch shows.

    How're you keeping your mind off of every phantom symptom? Besides slight cramping yesterday I havent felt any different. But Im not getting my hopes up either way.
    Are you going to test? When? AF is due next Tuesday so probobly then if there are no other symptoms of AF.

    CBHQ- do you think people always touching your belly will annoy you? Been there and while yes its weird, it doesnt really bother me. People are generally facinated by pregnant women so I get it. But I dont mind people touching me in general. Its not like people are trying to get a full on hug from me or spread the herp. People just lose their filter when around pregnant ladies. That being said, I am a belly toucher. I love pregnant bellies, but I would never touch someone without asking first and it would only be someone I personally knew, never a stranger.

  • *butting in* 
    Ok ladies! I don't want to start a new post because that's just annoying. But can you list any pre-O foods I can be eating? I'm starting on a bit of green tea now (CD7), but my mind is absolutely blank about anything else. Post-O foods welcome too! I know pomegranate juice (for a healthy lining, right?) and pineapple core (helps with the possible implantation?). Isn't pineapple flesh a pre-O food too? I forget why. 

    Anyway, I'm all about this ish. Lay it on me.

  • I've only done green tea pre-O. I don't know about any others. No clue if pineapple falls in there, you just definitely don't want to eat it past the first 5 days (yes, to encourage implantation through consumption of bromelain, which is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks up proteins that can inhibit implantation), because eating pineapple during pregnancy (probably in large enough quantities) can bring on uterine contractions. You want to eat 1/5 of the pineapple's core each day for days 1-5 DPO. I'm basically eating 1/5 of the whole pineapple each day, just so I'm getting some sweet juicy parts along with the tougher core.

    Yes, pomegranate juice apparently promotes a thicker lining, and you can drink that throughout the post-O period until you either test or AF arrives. Found this link on pomegranate juice for TTC: http://magicbean.blogspot.com/p/green-tea-and-pom-juice-while-ttc.html

  • I don't freaking know. I have like three friends who swear up and down that the month they stopped taking baths they got KU. And my stepmom is a nurse (let's just say from another country and not 100% reliable) and says it can affect CM and PH and stuff. sighhhhhh. All I know is that I haven't taken a bath during "fertile" time in months and it made no difference. so I'm definitely slacking now. But I made the mistake of discussing it with DH so now he wants me to abstain during that time "just to be safe". grumble grumble. I totally said F it this month and did what I wanted. BAM
