Hi ladies.... Joining in the talk, sooooo glad I found this site, I was beginning to wonder about my TWW and the emotional rolarcoaster ride I have been putting my hubby thru.
I am in month 2 of iui, with clomid and ovidrel.
Just had progesterone test done last week, was at 14.0.... This TWW is driving me crazy.
Last 2 nights I have had some crazy vivid dreams.
And backache and stomach bloating for about a week now.
Been ttc (w/o dr.s) for over three years now and finally just went to the fertility specialist after my 36th bday in august....
Thinking nothing but positive thoughts.

DPO (IUI) 1-14 - Nothing that I can remember. I was shocked to even find out I was pregnant!
nectarine / 2086 posts
I finally got a bfp after a year of symptom spotting, and I have to say I really didn't feel any differently this cycle. I got my bfp at 12 dpo and noticed only 2 things in hindsight...
Starting around 8 or 9 dpo - I felt my heart flutter a couple times when I would stand up after my morning coffee, and I was having these super light AF type cramps that lasted for a minute or so. I didn't think much of them until it woke me up at 12 dpo and I decided to randomly take a test. I was so surprised bc I never even considered that it would be positive!
GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
I purposely didn't track because I didn't want to symptom spot and also wanted to wait til af to test but I was out of town 9-11dpo and had major bloating, constipation, and mild cramping that made me test 11dpo evening. I also had a wicked temper and hot flashes on 9dpo morning! Prior to that it was just creamy cm (which I have during bfn cycles too) and mild cramping.

Creamy cm and some gas. Emotional. The day I got my bfp I thought I was going to barf making scrambled eggs for LO.

hi ladies ! just joining this thread now & so glad I found it! we are in our 4th cycle of TTC ...thought we were for 8 months before that but turns out my DH's sperm count was practically zero! EEP! He has built up to a normal count and motility now so we have been TTC since we got the Aok from his doctor
I got smiley on Clearblue Ovulation tester on wednesday 12/10. We BD'ed the 9th, 10, 11th & 12th... thinking we covered our bases but then my temp spike did not come until this monday 12/15 ! Wouldn't that indicate that I ovulated sunday? So confused ! If I O'ed 12/11 as tester would indicate I am at DPO 5 and symptoms are: MOODY & EMOTIONAL, cried all day, but DH's head off several times, (didn't help that both of my baby buddy girlfriends are pregs already & one called today to tell me )....slight cramping and majorly flushed face.
I am all down on myself thinking I missed my O bc of my weird late temp spike. Do you guys think O testers such as Clearblue or BBT is more reliable in detecting O? Sighhhhhh
thanks ladies & baby dust to you all

@marialatham: I don't have any answers to your questions, but just wanted to say welcome. I am on TTC #5, but not using any OPKs or temping yet. About 5 DPO here as well, and getting down because I don't have any symptoms yet to spot... Although some people say they have symptoms at 5 DPO and some not? It is too early probably to count myself out... I have been getting so emotional lately too - too many announcements around me... Happy for all the announcements, but they are hitting me so hard!! Anyways, good luck to you!!

@mrscobee
hey girl thanks for the welcome ! yea, I am leaning towards believing my temp or thermometer is off because preg or not my temp should stay elevated until period or BFP (which then it would stay up through 1st tri) and today on 6 DPO it was below my cover line at a normal 97.5 .. so hopefully my OPK was correct...
6 DPO - flushed face again maybe slight pinching in lower abdomen this morning while i was sleeping..
Keep me posted with you!
baby dust
clementine / 903 posts
@marialatham: Yes, keep me posted too! Hopefully the pinching is a good sign! And just re-read my first post - I meant cycle #5 not baby #5 lol!
clementine / 903 posts
@marialatham: I think yesterday was 5 and today is 6 (not charting, so I am more just going off of what I know about my cycle and physical signs at this point). If it doesn't happen this month, then maybe next month I will do more with OPKs, temping, charting, etc. Yes, nice to have a buddy!!
clementine / 903 posts
@marialatham: Can I ask how your DH got up to a normal count? My DH doesn't have any known stuff going on to our knowledge, but if it doesn't happen this month my OB has ordered tests just to rule out the easy stuff, and I am one of those people who likes to plan ahead for all scenarios

@mrscobee
hi again! my DH's doctor actually put him on Clomid ! Something I had before thought was only for women. Apparently not ! They said they would do another analysis 4 months after he had been taking it and he went from virtually 0 to 38 million per mm & 58% motility. Also his testosetrone was super low and is now at 525 (he was at 125) and is considered to be in the above average range. WILD !! This cycle we also have been taking supplements.
me: prenatal & an extra folic acid vitamin, vitamin C, evening primrose, FertileCM and I was taking a pre conception tincture made by Herb Lore. DH is taking: Zinc, Macca, FerileAid, and a mulit vitamin!
I have no symptoms today
Leaving for the holidays in the morning! Do you know how to get hellobee to alert you to a message so I can make sure to get yours while I am away? I have been just hgoing to the site and having to scroll to find you! lol!
clementine / 903 posts
@Marialatham: Thanks for the info. All that is good to know!! I am so glad his counts are up! I am taking a ton of the same things you are: tons of folic, fish oil, FertileAid and FertileCM, trying to drink some green tea (around O time) and trying to drink a lot of water (although sometimes I forget), also exercise a little bit... Hopefully these supplements are lucky for us DH is not taking much except for a multi vitamin and fish oil for the time being... I haven't had many symptoms at all
I have had really sore bbs since O, but I get that like every cycle. They are worse this time though. I feel crampy right now, but that could TOTALLY be just something I ate or gas pains or something... Some people say they have symptoms immediately and some people don't have many at all, so the rational side of me tells me to just wait for AF, but it is soooooo hard!!
Not sure how to get it to alert you... I know you can write on someone's wall though?? I am going to try and see if it works... Let me know!

Hey girl sorry I've been MIA ! We were in Vegas for the weekend now driving to Cali for Xmas. Thank goodness I have been busy so I'm not obsessing over the TWW. If I O'ed when OPK says I did then I am at 10 DPO .. Some pinching in lower abdomen & bloating ...bbs are sore as if I did a chest workout at the gym. This all is the same as my pms stuff so blah blah one app says my period is due Xmas day. Trying not to think about how great or awful that could be !!! Wah! How you doing ? Baby dust baby dust to you !!! Xo
clementine / 903 posts
@Marialatham: That's good that you are busy during the TWW! I am at 10 dpo today. Doing well, obsessing a little more, but had a busy weekend so that was good. I think AF is due ~x-mas day for me too. Agreed, that could be great or really suck! I still have a really sore chest, but I get this almost every month too... Grrrrrrrrrr! Have fun on your travels - sounds fun!!

@Marialatham: have you joined the POAS thread?? This one isn't really active--people usually post after they get a bfp.

@mrscobee AF arrived right on time this morning .... Only positive thing about it is that at least I know the opk was right & not my temp as this is exactly 14 days after O. Feeling down and kind of angry ... Going to try to snap out of it to enjoy Xmas. Hope you have better luck today sending you good vibes !!!!
clementine / 903 posts
@Marialatham: so I did get a bfp! Thought I was going to be out - pretty shocked! I am so sorry about AF!! Praying so hard you will get your bfp soon!! If you join a POAS board, I'll be cheerleading for you hardcore!
clementine / 903 posts
@Marialatham: that is very positive about the opk, and 14 day lp is really good!! Hoping January is the lucky month for you.

I'm at 4dpo and currently have minor cramps, sore nipples, and real sleepy. The sleepiness could just be the winter weather. I would gladly welcome nausea and vomiting if it means a bfp. I mc'd twice and didn't have any symptoms then. So no symptoms makes me nervous. GL to everyone!
cherry / 114 posts
Well I'm currently 8-9DPO and had a horrible wave of nausea tonight. Had gas the past couple days and some light cramps. Don't know if it's just AF coming or the opposite :). FX AF doesn't show tomorrow!
grapefruit / 4066 posts
I stalked this thread during my TWW so I thought I would add my experiences:
LO1- nada, no symptoms at all except typical AF symptoms. The only thing that was "off" was that I felt a pinch that maybe lasted a minute or two on 8dpo. Tested 12dpo bc my temp went up and it was
2nd pregnancy (cp)- on 8dpo I had weird pinching/cramping that I just knew was implantation. Headache on 9 and 10dpo. Severe cramping on 12dpo. 14dpo- faint bfp.
3rd pregnancy- no clue how this will go but here's what I have so far: starting from 3/4 dpo I just felt off. Vivid dreams starting at 4 dpo. Temp drop 5dpo, and then it shot up the next day. I had intense pinching/pulling all day on 8dpo which I though could be implantation, and got a faint bfp on 9dpo. I'm 12dpo now and I've been having lower cramps, exhaustion, and vivid dreams.

Because I read this a million times early in our TTC journey...
We tried for about 20 cycles and eventually conceived after an hsg, SA, and clomid. Truth be told--I had more "symptoms" in each failed cycle than in the successful one. I had intense ovulation cramps on the day I ovulated (never had O cramps before that cycle) and that was it. Missed period was the next and only pregnancy symptom!
As far as timing, typically we would go every other day until a couple days before O and we would switch to everyday until after O. This time we just did every other day and twice on ovulation day.
So there is hope if you have no symptoms!

Glad to see this feed bumped. I am on 11 dpo, bfn this morning. Keeping fx that testing later in the week will produce a bfp

We just found out we are expecting baby #2 yesterday. I posted my first DPO symptoms on this thread when we were expecting the first time, and thought I would share my symptoms the second time around too.
O-1: BD pm.
O: ovulation cramps midday, BD pm.
O+1: BD pm.
O+2 - O+7: nada.
O+8: Small spasms in uterus first half of day. Mild but noticeable and sharp cramps second half of day. Hipbone gives odd "loose" sensation, hot flashes, more frequent urination. BFN hpt.
O+9: exhausted, more frequent urination.
O+10: hot flashes. BFP hpt.

I did ivf, but I got my bfp on the equivalent of 13dpo and had no symptoms what so ever. I had sore boobs at about 3dpo-8dpo, which disappeared.

Hi All! We have been TTC for over a year now and now I am on clomid, Third Dose. Anyways, I heard that if I stress too much it won’t happen, so I haven't really been keeping track of anything, however, I have noticed a few things and I thought I would get your opinions. I am a 30 day cycle, O on the 12th day. I have vivid dreams pretty frequently, so I eliminated them from this.
1-9 DPO: Not keeping track
10 DPO: Noticed slight pinching cramps on left side. Keep waking up bc I am hot then cold. White Lotiony CM
11 DPO: Still cramps on left side of Uterus. Small amount of acne (I break out 2 weeks bf AF), White Lotiony CM. Tired. Gassy, Feels like #2 all day
12 DPO: Cramps are now on both sides, Nips are ridiculously sensitive and bbs are tender. Yellow/White CM. HPT BFN. Gassy, Feels like #2 all day, again
13 DPO: Headache, cramps, really tired, cough, stuffy nose and drainage down throat. Side note: Ordered Walleye for dinner, sounded delicious. The minute it was in front of me, it made me sick, sick, sick. I love fish, too. Yellow Spotty CM. Nausea. Gassy, Bloated
14 DPO: Headache, Hot while sleeping again. Waking up every 2 hrs for no reason. (I love sleep too) Sinus drainage again, thirsty, hungry, but don’t want to eat. Cramps (the pinching kind) on both sides of Uterus. Acne gone… Super weird. Really bloated (Full Feeling), Dizzy, lightheaded, irritable.
That takes us up to today. AF is due in 4 days.
Let me know what you think.
May the Baby Dust bless you all!

@JoJoGirl: Thanks for your reply. I tested 12DPO and it was BFN. I figured I would wait til Missed AF b4 testing again. I figured Hormones are too low.
