2ww - Early July 2010 - Anyone else?
Hi all,
I am in the dreaded 2ww, until July 11, 2010, when I go in for my blood test. I'm looking for buddies to keep me company and prevent me from doing HPTs...until a reasonable time at least!!
Anyone on the same schedule?
Good luck, and lots of baby dust to you all!

A little about me, and where I am on this ttc journey:
--Age 39. Good health, but dh has low count and slow moving troops. 2 failed IUIs.
--Now on 1rst IVF cycle, which has gone like this:
06/15 to 24: Follistim and Menopur shots, 150 each
06/25: HCG trigger
06/27: Egg Retrieval. 14 eggs! :-)
06/28: Antibiotics and started progesterone shots. 10 eggs fertilized! :-)
06/28-07/04: Mild to moderate OHSS. :-( Not comfortable, but not so bad to have to cancel transfer. :-)
07/02: Day 5 Embryo Transfer. 2 good embies (blastocytes) transferred. :-) 4 stayed under observation for freezing.
07/04: Progesterone test. All good. None of the extra embies were good to freeze. :-(
07/05: Better from OHSS, though still od'ing on Gatorade to prevent return, which might come if I do get pregnant.
07/06: Waiting.... no symptoms, aside from a couple of mild twinges in lower abdoment... According to the schedule below, implantation should still be occuring.
07/11 is blood test day!
---------------------------
5-Day Blast Transfer - What happens each day after:
Day One: The blastocyst begins to hatch out of its shell
Two: The blastocyst continues to hatch out of its shell and begins to attach itself to the uterus
Three: The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining, beginning implantation
Four: Implantation continues
Five: Implantation is complete, cells that will eventually become the placenta and fetus have begun to develop
Six: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) starts to enter the blood stream
Seven: Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Eight: Fetal development continues and hCG continues to be secreted
Nine: Levels of hCG are now high enough to detect a pregnancy

Hi all, nice to have so much company.
I'm still hanging in there. Resisted the urge to test this morning again! I just don't think I could handle a negative result, which might not be right. I prefer the certainty of the BETA test. At least that's what I tell myself when I'm fighting the urge to pull that test stick out of the bathroom cabinet.
As to symptoms, I've been a bit bloated and I've felt some pinches, but it could still be symptoms from the egg retrieval, which I've taken longer to heal from because of the mild hyperstimulation I had, or from the progesterone shots that I am on now.
I do like to think that the pinches are from the two embryos implanting and getting cozy. Let's hope...!
I'm thinking of all of you and wishing us all the best!

Hi everyone,
I had my 2nd IUI on 6/28 so I am on day 25 and 11dpo. I should know by July 11 as well. I have had some strange cramping this week but getting very grumpy and have a headache so i have a feeling AF might be coming. I am considering taking a HPT tomorrow but I should obviously wait. RE said to test between 14dpo and 17dpo then call for a beta if positive. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi I'm currently 3 DPO my first ovulatiry cycle no meds.. Been TTC for 10 months it was really stressing me out not ovulating. I lost some weight and 1 week later I ovulated. I will start testing on 10 DPO which is July 15. Best of luck to you!! Baby dust!
Hi everyone!! I had IUI done on July 4 and I am in my two week wait now. Needless to say I am googling early signs and symptoms constantly. I haven't done any home pregnancy tests yet. I am just keeping my fingers crossed and praying every day that I am pregnant. July 19 cant get here quick enough.
10 DPO now as per my tracker ..did not get a +OPK this cycle at all but my temp surged on day 14 and has stayed up...so am assuming I did ovulate... have BDing every alternate day starting from cycle day 10...so really hoping it works out this time..
no symptoms at all...so just praying and keeping my fingers crossed...
I am also trying really hard not to test ...but wait till after AF is due :)
