How is your wait going? How many cycles have you been TTC? Are you feeling pregnant?

Me! I am! This is the 2nd cycle of TTC. We already have an LO and got KU on cycle 1 for LO#2 but it didn't stick. So I waited until I had a "normal" cycle (per my OBGYN) and we just tried again.
I don't feel pregnant, but I just don't know what to think. I'm stressed because I want this one SO BADLY and I'm scared to overthink because I don't want to jinx it. (I know that's silly talk!)
Just crossing my fingers that I get a BFP and that it sticks this time!

I am too! 8dpo and not feeling anything too abnormal. This is my 6th cycle TTC but the 3rd with really good BD timing. I had a CP last cycle at about 5 weeks.
@Ginabean3: I know what you mean about overthinking. But it's so hard not to!
I've never experienced true pregnancy symptoms so I'm not sure what I "should" be feeling. I did have a mean case of road rage earlier today and wondered if I could blame it on pregnancy hormones

@shortiecake: Ah, fingers crossed for you!
I'm trying to make my days busy doing stuff (I SAHM) so I won't dwell on the thinking part too much.

Good luck you guys!
I'm in the TWW for AF (not trying). Looking on the last crazy months with a large amount of amusement now, wondering what this month will bring

I believe I'm 2dpo so still have a while to wait! We're on cycle 14 for lo #2. Lo1 was a surprise while I was on the pill so having it take this long (had a miscarriage in July) is very very hard.

I am in another tww but not exactly sure if I o'ed because opks and ewcm came twice this month.
Not really paying attention this month and looking forward to nyc next wknd!

I am... got hCG trigger shot last Tuesday, which I guess means I O'd Wed or Thursday? We did timed intercourse. Going in on Wednesday to check my progesterone - if that doesn't work, next month will be Clomid + trigger shot + timed intercourse + probably progesterone. Sigggh.

Okay ladies. I don't want to get my hopes up but.... I'm a whole day late. My symptoms are extremely sore breasts, nausea, back pain and decreased appetite. Unfortunately I have a bladder disease so I pee all the time anyway and can't tell if it's increaed or not. I had spotting a week ago that was light brown and so light that I could have easily missed it. It lasted a couple of hours one day and then the next day I noticed it once and it went away. I did take a pregnancy test but it was negative. With my first pregnancy, I was slow to produce HCG, so much so that they were concerned, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I don't want to get my hopes up but come on positive test come on!! Lol. I'm so hopeful. I'm like what to do now. Wait more time or ask OB for an ultrasound or blood test. I wanted my baby since June of last year and TTC unsuccessful. I really hope this could be it!

@Lillybee: good luck!
Not in the TWW wait yet, I'm just entering O week. We're on cycle 17ish.

@Crystal: Thanks! I think I have some good signs but you know how that goes. It could go either way. I do like that my period is missing. I hope it stays gone. Lol.

Yes. Trying for 6 months and I'm 4dpo. Not feeling pregnant and not hopeful. You never know but it doesn't seem likely. Plus we only hit -1 and -4. Next cycle we start injectables plus IUI so either way I'm excited for the end of this cycle.

@Lillybee: good luck!
yes, i'm in the TWW. if i read the signs correctly, i am about 12 dpo, but my cycle was wonky so who knows. took a test 2 days ago that was negative, and trying to hold out for a few more days as i have a tendency to run through too many tests. no tww symptoms, so expecting AF but hoping for a positive!

This is only my 2nd month TTC for #1 and I am 8dpO. Debating whether I should test in a few days or just wait to see if AF is late. My DH was home for a quick weekend visit when I got my positive OPK so I'm hoping the few times we were able to BD were enough. He is convinced that this is our month which is cute but definitely makes me feel a little added pressure for a . to everyone!

Hi ladies! I am in the TWW. It is my first cycle off birth control (nuvaring) in idk how long. DH and I agreed that we'd pull the goalie and see what happens, no charting, no tracking, etc. Just this evening while getting in the shower I realized how sore my nipples are! I have never ever felt anything like it before, so I'm really hoping it's a good sign! It's only day 18 of my cycle, and I have no clue how long a regular cycle is for me since I just stopped nuvaring, so we shall see! I hope I can make it 10 more days to test, but I have a feeling I'll cave in and test sooner than that (I'm impatient!). Fingers crossed!

@edelweiss: Thank you so much! I still have no period today and my boobies are getting more sore every day. I have also had increaed cervical mucus. If you think the TWW is bad, try waiting for either a period or positive test after a missed period! I do wonder though when everyone else was able to get a positive, if it was right away or well after a missed period.

I'm still in the (longer than) TWW right now. AF was due FOUR days ago and I'm still getting BFN's. I'm either 15 or 17 dpo today depending on if I go by when I felt it/opks or FF. Still in limbo and it's killing me! This is our 4th cycle trying.

Joining you ladies! I just started my TWW. This is our first month NTNP or very casually TTC #2. I have had some light cramping/twinges which I also had with our LO, so I'm interested to see if any other of my early signs from last time show up. Although now I'm symptom spotting like crazy and will probably make something out of nothing. Even the second time around, the TWW sucks!
Good luck to you all

I'm nearing the end of my TWW (I think, my AF has been a little off since I went off HBC)! I've been having some cold/flu like symptoms - stuffy, sore throat, a fever last night, headaches, nausea, sleepiness, sore boobs... All of this I experienced during my first pregnancy, which wasn't planned. Who knows, this is my 4th month of trying and each time I thought "maybe."

@cait: awesome! Congratulations! My nurse told me to test Thursday, but I'm so tempted to test earlier....
cherry / 111 posts
@cait: congratulations on your BFP!!! Send me some of those positive vibes... I'm going to test later tonight when DH gets home!

Yes, which is ridiculous because I know there's very little chance that I'm pregnant since our timing was way off, but yet I'm can't help over thinking every "symptom". It's our first time NTNP, trying for #2. (It took 11 cycles actively trying with LO). By this weekend, I should be put out of my misery. Thank goodness my wait isn't long.
Fx and baby dust to all you lovely ladies!

@cait: CONGRATULATIONS! Wishing you an easy & smooth pregnancy and a beautiful and healthy baby

@Mum: Thank you!! I really thought it was probably too early and going to be negative anyway, I'm used to thinking I'm having symptoms and then it turning out to be in my head. Big shock!
@MrsD2442: Thank you and good luck! Let us know how things go. Fingers crossed for you.
@SugarplumsMom: Thank you!! So sweet.
Baby dust to all of you!

@cait: Congrats!
Still noticing a lot of common symptoms between my first preg with LO and how I'm feeling now. Trying not to get too invested though, just in case! These crazy dreams though, literally haven't had them be this bad since I was in the TWW with LO. I POAS on the weekend, thank goodness. The wait is torture.
bananas / 9227 posts
AF is scheduled to come today, but since I haven't been very diligent on tracking, I'm giving it until this weekend. I know I'm not, but I've been having symptoms I normally don't get except for when I was pregnant with DD. Sigh. I'm setting myself up for disappointment, I know.
persimmon / 1179 posts
@SugarplumsMom: Right there with you, symptom spotting the things I felt with my first LO like crazy but totally expecting
bananas / 9227 posts
@getjazzy: I know I shouldn't but I may just POAS Friday morning if AF stays away that long.
persimmon / 1179 posts
@SugarplumsMom: I'm debating between tomorrow and Friday. I should definitely wait until Friday I think but it's so tempting lol.

@Ginabean3: I'm sorry, I'm new to Hello Bee and still learning the jargon. What is TWW, LO, & KU???? Lol.

Update: I POAS this Monday with no luck. I knew it was early. Today is CD 29.. waiting for AF to arrive, although idk if I am technically late bc it is my first month off BC and I was never very regular, even on BC. So I guess it's a waiting game. I still have tender/sore breasts and am exhausted at the end of the day (can't even stay awake long enough to watch a show with DH at night!), am extremely moody and feel this strange stretching feeling in my abdomen whenever I go from sitting down to standing up. Fingers are definitely crossed for a BFP sometime soon. Can't decide when to test again! Maybe Sunday... to everyone!!!
