TRYING FOR 2015 BABY

Morning girls

I'm doing much better today. Got over the shock of my bestie's pregnancy and picked up my spirit and determination from the ground. I'm not yet at a point of saying I'm not giving up, but I'm feeling better and keeping my chin up.

I ovulated last week, and expect that I am on CD 4/5. Not really symptom spotting, but wishing away the next two weeks. Just want to know already and build that bridge and get over the fact that I might have missed it this month. Some of the symptoms I'm experiencing now, include: Tender and swollen boobies, cramping, going to the loo a lot, exhaustion, hunger and headaches/sinus/snot nose/cold. Most of these are side effects of the Fertomid, so I'm not getting excited yet. I'm also not consulting Dr Google anymore - He always gets my hopes up, then to make me suffer from dissapointment.

Hubby doesn't want me to give up or go on the Pill again. I'm still divided. He also believes that this is our month. He knows that I can only start with BC once period has started, and thus he believes my period will not start at all... I'm not sure what to make of his sudden prophetic abilities, if that is at all something even to consider, and feel that he is just building up my hope again. I really don't know...

Anyway, Morgan and Praying4Miracle, keep the faith, girl! This is your month. Almost time to test! For the rest of us in the TWW, good luck and thinking of you! Girls in the first two weeks who are BD'ing like crazy! Enjoy every moment with hubby!

Morning all you special girls!!!

@Morgan I felt the same during my tww after IUI, I just could not resist doing a HPT on 11DPO..I did and it was a BFN and I know it was to early. I experienced all the same symptoms, dull aches, slight nausea, etc....but I stayed positive! I had sensitive bb's but that was normal for me just before AF. The day before the scheduled blood test (date the FS said I should go) which was exactly 14DPO I noticed that my nipples were sensitive more than usual! That was the only different sign than normal just before AF. I am now 9 weeks.... and that is STILL the only symptom. Please stay positive and be strong and wait! It is almost time.... if you think that tww feels forever, wait for the time from the blood test till the Dr phones... is is nerve wrecking!

Good Morning Beautiful Ladies

Hope you are all doing good?

@Babydreaming88
Yes it's very hard not to symptom spot, but I'm trying to hold myself in, lol!
How are you today? Has AF left yet?

To all the other ladies have a great Tuesday!


AFM:
CD23 9DPO, Getting close to testing
Hope this month will be our month
Lots of baby dust to all the other ladies in ttww

Sorry to just burst in here... GOOD LUCK to all of you!

AF will always arrive 14 days after OV . You calculate OV 14 days "back" from you first day of your new cycle.

Good morning ladies!

Hope everyone is well.

@Anzel - oh hun, I think we can all relate to how you feel at the moment. Please dont give up, I know its hard and you want that bfp so badly. I really feel for you girl, keep the faith cause soon you are going to get that bfp!

@P4M1 - Hehe always hard not to symptom spot hey, good luck girl, really hope you get that bfp this month!

@Jay-Bee - Really, what a coincidence hey, must be a lucky sign! Please let me know how you appointment goes! I've gotta feeling....

@Morgan - try to hold it out girl! When should you test? I agree with Meisiekind, day of O is 0dpo and day after O is 1dpo.

Hope you girls have a great Tuseday!

Hi Morgan, re your question on the tww, the number of days differ from person to person. Can be between 13 - 15 days, however they say its constant for each woman. So if yours are always 14 days, then you can expect the same.

For myself I work it out like this. Day of ovulation is 0dpo (or 0dpiui in your case) and the day thereafter 1dpo etc. So on 15dpo I always expect AF to start. As I said, for you it may be a day earlier or later but it will be constant.

You are using progesterone pills, right? Some people say that its side effects are the same as early pregnancy, so I'd advise you not to symptom spot at all. It makes sense, because a raise in progesterone is what is causing early pregnancy symptoms in the first place, so pills are going to do the same to you.

I can imagine how difficult this must be for you. Stay strong and try to keep yourself busy during this time. Just a couple more days.

Hello ladies!

Sorry was so quiet today, wanted to post more but our internet at work was hit by lightening and now we have no internet, no network, freaking nothing. At this hectic time, it's very frustrating!

To all the ladies, I pose a question: the dreaded tww - is it 14 days since you ovulated (eg 1st of month you ovulated then expect AF on 15th of month) or is it 14 days plus 1 (eg 1st you ovulated and expect AF on 16th) ?

AFM don't know how I feel, sometimes I'm slightly nauseous, then I'm craving something. Had a slight, dull ache on left lower abdomen for quite a while after IUI for more than a week but now it's gone. I'm so confused! I have no cm at the moment. I want to use hpt SO badly but I'm scared of testing too early. I honestly don't know if I could handle another bfn. I've been staying positive, not symptom spotting, not doing anything out of the ordinary.
