@paranundrum: my sentiments exactly! Total emotional rollercoaster.
So I finally got crosshairs in FF this morning. Now the waiting game. What do you guys do during the TWW?

@Sams Mom: Grrrr... WTF? First FRER fails us, now OSOM? What's a POAS girl to do? Who can we even trust anymore?

@yellowbeach: might have spent 15 minutes before clinic googling variations of "most reliable pregnancy test" "pregnancy test with least false positives"
Haven't come up with anything I haven't tried though. 🤷♀️

@paranundrum or @SamsMom: Could you update my POAS date to June 25 por favor... looking like my transfer will be 6/18 which will make the 25th 7dp5dt.

@yellowbeach: A blood test?
@Eebolleh: I don't know...go to work while trying not to obsess about TWW and stuff? I have no advice. I'm pretty good about kind of forgetting it until 7 or 8dpo or so, after that time drags.

I took a look at my blood draw results just now, I hadn't before, because my doctor gave me a quick overview. I knew my prolactine was high, but it was five times higher than the top value of the normal range. I'm on meds now, but shouldn't such high numbers stop me from ovulating? BBT and OPKs have confirmed OV every month I have used them. What's up with that?
Also my SO got some more testing done today and I can already see this journey won't be an easy one for him. I'm pretty sure he won't change his mind about wanting a child, but it will definitely put a strain on us both.

@Sams Mom: totally lurking here. I temped before I got pregnant with my first and weirdly my bfp cycle the FP temps were as high as my normal post-O temps. Super bizarre but maybe something similar for you? Fingers crossed!

I’m at the point in the TWW now that I’m thinking everything is a symptom. So annoying! And I’m also to the point where I’m too afraid to test because I don’t want to see stark white. Anyone else?

@Sams Mom: is there any way to do a beta? I just know iou have never really had squinters before I kind of wonder if something is going on?
@paranundrum: is he pretty squeamish?? This journey is always hard I know - but I think men have a more difficult time, I know mine does too.
@yellowbeach: I just read the rest of the thread, what a stressful shift that must have been are they good about de briefing? Also I cannot even imagine an ER that would refuse a good candidate, the job market must be so different than up here in which they are like begging ppl to come and work lol. How stressful though, are you locuming? Are there other local options?

@Eebolleh: I spend most of my time googling non-symptoms 🤣 and trying to just live life as normal. I am always paranoid about “trying too hard” and then “jinxing” the cycle. Do you have anything good and distracting going on?
clementine / 950 posts
@CatchAFallingStar: I kind of feel like you should test again lol. Are you 9dpo? Or 10?
nectarine / 2808 posts
@fuzzypeaches: I’m 10 today... I feel like I always feel early pregnancy, which is a hungover feeling... however, everyone in my house is sick with a cold except me, so I could just be getting that.. I’m also on endometrin progesterone so it could be giving me faux symptoms

@fuzzypeaches: I see my doctor Thursday, so I guess I can harass him into a beta if my temps are still showing their asses.
@azaela: that's hopeful! This TTC thing is for the birds though
... Also I puked a little this morning, I never puke unless I'm so sick I've finally accepted my fate and know that puking will make me feel better. I honestly think I'm headed towards the phantom pregnancy because my body is just trying to make it happen.
nectarine / 2808 posts
@Sams Mom: I’m thinking if you we’re pregnant, you’d have a pretty dark line now, though. Right? Maybe you’re a little sick and have a low grade fever? That would explain your temps.

@fuzzypeaches: Google becomes your best friend when TTC. (And worst enemy)

@paranundrum: my new POAS date is Saturday, the 8th or Sunday the 9th. Waiting that long because I’m chicken and also had a chemical last cycle.
nectarine / 2808 posts
@Eebolleh: that’s always my goal! I tested at 7 and 8 DPO this cycle and will not test again until 15-16 to be sure. I hate taking a test and then googling to see if I still have a chance. At least at 15-16 I will KNOW there’s no chance. Haha.

Anyone here supplement with endometrin progesterone during the TWW?
clementine / 950 posts
@CatchAFallingStar: I have been
Unfortunately it hasn’t helped that much - I had two Chemicals on progesterone 100 twice a day and aspirin. This cycle increasing to 200 mg twice a day.

Feeling like I see a bit of a shadow, but I also peed on this then got distracted with work (WFH today haha) and totally forgot about it, so even if it is something it's invalid as it's at least an hour old. Estimated 8 DPO today.

@fuzzypeaches: did your period come while you were taking it?

@CatchAFallingStar: I'm with you on the symptom spotting, I have hard heartbur the past two days but we have been eating like sh*t because of birthday parties and such!

@CatchAFallingStar: everything is a symptom? ♀️
Last night I wasn’t sleeping and I thought “pregnancy insomnia?” (Ps I think I’m just today 3dpo)

Hi ladies. No update from me. No AF yet. I'm in limbo I'm going to try to not POAS again until Friday morning if AF doesn't show by then. (I did test again yesterday, and it was another )
nectarine / 2808 posts
@fuzzypeaches: what I meant is, do you have to stop taking it to make your period start or does it start while you’re still taking it?
nectarine / 2808 posts
@JennyLayneAZ: is it possible you were off a couple days on ovulation?
clementine / 950 posts
@maybebaby: I see it too! Will you test again?
@CatchAFallingStar: I am not 100% sure bc both were chemicals with falling Betas so I stopped and then had AF later 🤔 but my understanding is that usually AF starts about 3d post stopping.
cherry / 117 posts
@maybebaby: I think I might see something too. Test again right in the morning tomorrow

@CatchAFallingStar: my period started in spite of 100 mg x3 daily
@maybebaby: I think I see it too
nectarine / 2690 posts
@CatchAFallingStar: yes I didn't take an ovulation test so that is a possibility. Starting to feel bloated and slightly cramp, so at least something is happening.

@fuzzypeaches: He doesn't mind blood or pain, but it's mentally difficult for him. I don't cope with blood and pain well, so we balance each other out.
@JennyLayneAZ: I'm sorry, I hope you get some good news in the next few days.
