Dreaded TWW

Hello Ladies...Is there anyone else in their TWW? I had an IUI yesterday and I am hating this TWW. Please share your stories and maybe we can get through this together.

Hi. I'm 10 dpo today. I tested even though I know it was too early. I don't "feel" pg at all. Not at all. The last time I was pg I felt nothing but I still feel like I should feel something. That's silly, isn't it? I've had a mild stomach ache for the last 3 days. It's not cramps, it's in the middle of my stomach. I wish that was a symptom, but I've never heard of it being one. Have you?

I'm not on any meds. My ins co stopped covering any fertility treatments because my ovarian reserve is diminished. Clomid is not that expensive but I'm not taking it because it made my cycle crazy. On Clomid, my cycle was incredibly short and I would get AF anywhere from 4-8 days after I O'ed. When I stopped taking it my cycle went back to normal. I've been going for acupuncture for 3 months and my acupuncturist's success rate is an average of 4 months. 4 months seems like nothing compared to the amount of time we've been trying. I was pg in 2007 for 5 months, lost the baby, and we've been trying ever since. So essentially we've been trying for more than 2 years.

We miss our son so much and think about him every day. I had a dream last night that we were on vacation at the beach and we walked into a tattoo place and I was going to get a tattoo of a blue baby sock in honor of my son. So bizarre! I wold never get a tattoo and the blue sock choice is so weird. Dreams are so crazy! Some people say they've dreamed about having a baby and then they got a BFP shortly after. I wish that would happen to me. Instead, I have dreams where I'm pregnant and then my belly doesn't grow and it turns out I was never pg in the first place. I wake up feeling awful after these dreams. I've had them a few times and I hate them. Hopefully they don't mean anything.

I'll test again tomorrow but I think Sunday at 12 dpo will be the day. Usually if 12 dpo is negative then I know I'm not. My DH and I will both be home on Sunday morning and it would be so amazing to get a BFP together, but I'm not counting on it :0(

On a happy note, yesterday was the one year anniversary of when we got our dog! We celebrated by giving him a big juicy steak for dinner. I called the place we got him from and they couldn't believe it had been a whole year and were so happy to hear he's doing so well. If you want, you can see pictures of him on my profile page. He's pretty darn cute :0)

SUEGRE:   I have to agree with you the last week is by far the hardest for me also. I have tried to just wait on AF to start but I never can. You are 10dpo today right? Are you on any meds?

PEARL1980:  Dont give up yet AF is still not here yet!!! I hope she never shows!! I am sending lots of babydust your way!! Keep us posted!

GIGIGIGI:  I agree with SueGre, prove them wrong!! 8DPO is still way too early to test. Good luck and Babydust.


ALL: It looks like everyone is a head of me...I am only 2dpiui. Of course I have not had any symptoms yet. The only thing is that I have been soooo tired, even when I sleep all day I still wake up tired but that could be from a numerous of things. I will make sure I keep everyone posted. ***BabyDust*** to all!!

I'm 7dpo today, and trying very hard not to think about this.  My RE has made me feel that it's not even possible to conceive with the uterine lining that I have (&mm), so I'm trying especially hard not to get my hopes up too high.  Although I would just LOVE to prove my RE wrong!

Maybe I'll head over to Dollarama and get some cheapie tests... what do i have to lose?

Ah, the dreaded TWW. It's just awful, isn't it? I find the first week to be easier for some reason, because I know I won't/can't test. The end of the TWW I find to be the hardest. I want to test starting on 9dpo (which I did today!) and I always know it's too early, but I do it anyway :0). Good thing I have a stash of $tree tests! 12 dpo seems like a good day to test. That's this Sunday. DH and I will both be home and that makes me happier either way. I've got cramps that started on my right side this morning but now has moved to my lower left side. I've had a tummy ache the last 2 days which is unusual for me. I've never heard of a stomach ache being an early pg symptom, though, unless it can be implantation?

I wish all of you Big Fat Positives in the very near future!!!
