hello ladies,just wanna touch base and find out how everyone is doing.hope the Holisay is being well spent.
has anybody tested yet??
i want to hold on till mon 12dpo.i have been having all the AF signs but i'm refusing to let the thought sink in.i'm really praying for more BFP this cycle.if you have any  news please share with us.atleast that keeps us going.they say problem shared is problem half solved.
  and for those who did not have a BFP this month,it's okay.they say a journey of amile begins with a step.we've started the journey already.we'll get there some day
lol

[Helen72]

Hi guys,
I am at 10 dpo with no symptoms of any kind.  I may test on Tuesday if I have no sign of AF by then although sometimes I feel like not wasting a test.  I may just wait till my first IUI next month.  Me and dh had a talk about our future plans and worked out a way we want to proceed.  This makes it easier this month to face that upcoming BFN.  

Good luck to everyone in tww!!!!  I hope some of us will get some good news this coming week.

[LJ307]

I am the impatient one of the group it seems.   I've been testing since 8dpo and each time comes up neg.  I'm at 11dpo now and 99.9% sure I"m not pregnant.  I have no symptoms at all.  The dizziness I had this week is also gone.   I have one more test and I may test Tues or Wed if AF doesn't come.  I'm officially due for her visit on Tues.  Got the results of my 21day prog. check and my levels were 29.4 so I know I obsolutely ovulated.  Still no BFP.   Not feeling very optimistic today....

[fifi blue]

Hi, I'm not part of your group but I'm 10 dpiui.  Don't know about symptons, tingling bbs once in a while, felt a little lower back ache but gone now.  Think AF might be about to rear her ugly head.  Have blood test scheduled for Monday.  TWW is a so hard.
Good luck to you all.

[Helen72]

I think that 10 dpiui is too early for any symptoms.  Please don't loose hope just yet.  
Is this your first IUI?  Are you taking any drugs as well?  
Good luck Monday!  I hope it's a BFP!

[fifi blue]

Thanks for the good wishes.  It's my 3 IUI.  Doing Lupron, Gonal F and Ovidril.  Next step is IVF, fingers crossed that it's not necessary.

[ms320]

Hi everyone.  I am 9 dpo and am holding strong.  I have vowed not to test until at least 16 dpo.  I am really trying to approach this month differently.  I am not analyzing every twinge, nor am I poking my boobs so often as to make them sore (as I believe I have done in the past).  I am so tired of driving myself crazy that I am actually trying to forget that I am in the 2WW (yeah...like that might happen)
Wishing everyone success.  Remember, it ain't over until AF sings her miserable song.
Mary

[LJ307]

You have the right approach.  I'll do the same next month.  It's crazy, I've tested 3 times, all BFN and I'm 11dpo today.  My boobs are sore today and I'm REALLY tired.  It's the first real sign of a possible BFP I've had other than dizziness. Although I think it's PMS sorenesss that I'm feeling.  Best of luck - stay strong!!

[annabrita]

Ms320,i really admire your approach.
LJ307,i've picked up the hpt twice,but held myself back.i know the third time i pick it up,i'll sure test.i'll let yo know if i do by the end of today
fifiblue, welcome aboard.i agree with Helen72,it's too early for any symptoms but i'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.
Helen72,i'm so proud of you.my dh is proving to be diff when it comes to the iui matter,but iy's okay b/c it's just a matter of time.i don't plan to take clomid more that 3cycles.iui will be my next step.
Best luck to all of us.

hi guys.

tested this morning at 13dpo and BFN. I knew i shouldnt have tested as i have had no symptoms at all. A/F due Tues. Next month i have decided to BD as much as possible rather than during the fertile bit.  I think something is going on with my cycles. For the last 2 months i havent had O pains. I must admit i am feeling sad this month. Xmas is such a tough time when little kiddies run around everywhere looking so adorable. At  least i have you guys to vent to :). You know knowing our luck we will get BFPs at Xmas time and have to completely lay off alcohol ...hehheeh!

Will we keep a BD calendar for all of us next month?

[BabyBlue07]

Hi Ladies

I am 15DPO and AF is not showing yet.  frustrated and furious about this. I tested yesterday and got BFN.  :-( I don't have any sign of AF like other months. my bbs not sore anymore.  don't feel any symtoms at all.  

I don't know what is going with my body, but I am so worn out becuase of this.  I just let it goes until AF show up.  don't want to think, don't want to do HPT anymore.  I already used 2 boxes (3 each) HPT and show BFN.  how sad. :-(

good luck to all ladies who are still in 2ww. update with us a good news.

take care

[Helen72]

I am still in tww at 11 dpo today.  AF is due Wednesday/Thursday although since I had my laparoscopy this cycle, I am not sure what to expect.  Since I O'd around cd14 like I always do and my temps went up a few days later, I guess this cycle is no different from any other.  I am having strange pains on my right side (I think that's the side I ovulated from this month) but these pains may mean anythyng...

Empty,
sorry about your BFN and upcoming holidays with kids.  I am getting so anxious as X-mas approaches.  I am even dreading spending time with my parents who will be asking when will I have a child!  They have no idea what I am going through.    I so much wanted to give them a baby announcement for the holidays but it's not looking promising  :(

[annabrita]

i finally tested this morning at 10DPO and ofcourse had the usual BFN.i couldn't wait anylonger.atleast now i know.AF will surely show her ugly face on wed,i already have all the symptoms;how sad.i was really depressed with the results then i happen to watch Dr Stanley's preaching this morning and he elevated my mood.for those of us who did not have a BFP this month,lets not give up'it might be next month.i'll move on to my 2nd round of clomid,then do blood work on CD21 to see if i actually ov.then i'll know what to do from there.
happy sunday everyone

[ms320]

Hi ladies,
Just wanted to know how the TWW is going for everyone.  Since I am trying not to get hung up on myself this month, I am finding myself hung up on all of you. lol.  This whole thing really makes me insane.  Wishing you all a bunch of BFPs :-)
Mary

[fifi blue]

I'm out, blood work was negative.  I knew it would be but still had a glimmer of hope.  So disappointed, upset and angry.  Don't know whether to cry or punch something.  
Next step is the clomid challenge, hopefully everything will be okay with that and I can move on to ivf.  

[Helen72]

So sorry about your BFN.  I don't even have to test: started spotting this morning.  I guess I am out as well.  
Best of luck to all still in tww!!!

[fifi blue]

Sorry about your news too.  Praying for the rest of you.

hi guys

A/F due today ...havent got it yet but i know its on the way. Sigh! Hope all of you will have better luck!

[HeathJo]

I am SOOO out! I really had a hard time, as 6dpo my bbs hurt like a mofo, From then on, I was dizzy, had hot flushes, and was thirsty all the time. I just did not know what to think. On Saturday, the day my doc told me I could test, I started spotting. I tested and got a BFN. Later that day I felt so tired and ill and hot, so I took my temp and it was 103. I guess I was getting a virus for the last week  of the 2ww. Sunday, AF came with extra luggage!

This was my first month ttc, and first round of Clomid. My progesterone test was 10.6, so it was borderline as to whether I even ovulated or not. My doc doubled my Clomid, and we plan to go straight to IUI this month.

I wish you all the very best, and those of you still in the game, my prayers are especially with you. As Annabritta said, it is best to travel this road with a smile. I personally believe that you draw positive or negative things to you based on your attitude. It can be hard to stay optimistic at times, but the alternative of fear and depression is counterproductive.

May we all get our BFPs soon!

[LJ307]

I like your attitude.  Yes, may we all get a BIG FAT POSITIVE SOON..... I felt this needed to be spelled out this time!!!   You are so right about bringing neg. and pos. things into our life.  But sometimes life does just throw you a load of sh... that you've got to use your powers of positivity to turn into roses.  More power to us all!!

[annabrita]

hello ladies,just to update you all.AF is not here yet but my mind is made up.i just picked up my clomid 50mg prescription.i'm gonna start 3days after AF shows up.is it true that the dose of clomid doesn't change much?i almost slapped my RE when she told me she was not going to change my mg.she said 50mg was okay and nothing will change if i increase the mg.like i said,two more cycles and i'm off to iui.trust me on this.
best luck to all of us
LOL

[ms320]

Good morning ladies.  Well, I'm out also.  AF showed up this morning.  My next step is to start monitoring for O so that I can begin my priming meds for IVF.  Although I need to move onto this next step, I feel a little "defective" that I wasn't able to conceive on my own.  I guess deep down, I just believed it would happen.  Oh well, whatever it takes.

Good luck everyone

Mary

hi guys day 2 for me and no A/F ...i tested again tonight and BFN. Still no symptoms but just feels like A/F will be around soon.

annabrita we are both in the same boat on this!

[Julie1615]

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and don't understand most of the abbreviations, but was wondering if anyone had any answers for me. I'm 29, DH is 34. We have unexplained infertility. My hsg test was normal and don't have any endometriosis. We have been thru 3 failed IUI w/t clomid cycles. I'm going thru my very first ivf cycle right now. I had a low response to fsh and they only got 10 eggs at retrieval time, only two fertilized thru ICSI. There was only one embryo of quality 6B- on day 3 and I had the transfer done yesterday. Was wondering if anyone else had any success with a single embryo transfer? Also, why am I such a low responder to the fertility drugs?

frightened and nervous
Julie

[Helen72]

Please, don't feel "defective".  Infertility is a medical problem and most of us need some help.  Given my scar tissue my doc said that the only treatment available to me is IVF.  I was ready to cry since I felt to "defective".   Since he cleared most of my scar tissue during surgery I am trying IUI first.  But if that does not work in the nearest future, scar tissue will come back and I will need IVF.  

Note that ALL of us face some medical problems at some point in our life.  I guess this is what we have to face.
