2WW 8/14

[Jalapeñomel]

Starting a new one for the second half of the month.

We missed most of the FW really this month, due to being under the weather.

I'm still in the 2WW, but AF is due within the next few days, if it's coming. I guess we'll see!

[larzhope]

i'm in the same boat @writererin - expecting AF today or tomorrow.

[Deleted]

The thing I have learned that I hate the most during these handful of days before expected AF...I spend more time on Google searching for early pregnancy symptoms than I do any other time, ever. Every single time I feel even a little "off," I wonder if it's early pregnancy.

[katespade]

Still waiting to ovulate.

6 days post trigger here. This was our first medicated cycle using injectibles. I have lots of symptoms, but I did last month too. I'm pretty sure it is all the progesterone.

Since we did a trigger our timing was as good as possible and I have been doing acupuncture this cycle so fingers crossed.

I'll test Wednesday to see if the trigger is out of my system

[Jalapeñomel]

I'm starving all the time. I think it's because I'm lazing around the house instead of doing some work!

[larzhope]

@writererin - it's amazing what a mindfuck this is. it's like... are my boobs more sore or less sore than last month? how about cramps? I can talk myself into having a shot this month as easily as I can talk myself out of it.

larzhope - Just this weekend, I have Googled about implantation symptoms, how early nausea appears, and how early food aversions or increased appetite appears. And more than likely, it's just me thinking about it too much that is making me think I even have these symptoms in the first place (like when I feel itchy for hours after I see a spider).

I'm on CD8 so not really in the 2WW but it feels like time is just iiiiiiinching by, especially since I don't expect to ovulate until closer to CD21 and we aren't doing anything this cycle so just counting down the days until we can do blood work and testing at the start of my next cycle.

[compassrose]

It's my last day of my first round of Femara, so I'm waiting to see if my EWCM and temp shift are more pronounced (and line up!) this month.

So far, just a lot of extra feelings. And some ramped up anxiety.  Last night was my last night for this month, though.

You?

I had a couple of random headaches and 1 night of stomach troubles, but who knows if those things were at all related to the medicine. I did want to let you know that I have noticed a huge difference between this month and last regarding EWCM. I know that was one thing you were hoping Femara would help with and it certainly has for me.

Oh, that is great news! Thank you for remembering.

[larzhope]

Thanks somersault72. still no period. I had pretty bad cramps last night so I wonder if maybe I ovulated late and it will really start tomorrow. If it's not here by Thursday I'll test.

[katespade]

larzhope - Fingers crossed!! You are so much more patient than I am. I don't know if I would be able to wait until Thursday to test!

All this nazi shit makes me feel crazy about having a kid right now.

[larzhope]

still no AF and I feel like hot garbage today. my stomach is just not happy I almost feel like i'm hungover but definitely did not drink anything last night.

[larzhope]

thanks milsaroo. In other interesting news, my H just got his SA results back and he has low morphology (whatever that means) and they indicated that the course of treatment was IUI or IVF... if I'm not pregnant this cycle I'm not sure what that means for us. I sent a note back to my provider so hopefully she responds.

(((Hugs)))

Morphology the shape of the sperm, but I don't know how that affects getting pregnant.

AF is due tomorrow, if it's coming. I've been having super light cramps today (and did a couple times this weekend too)...more like light pangs in the uterine region, not even enough to double-over about or medicate. Now, on one hand, I have had light cramping prior to my period in the past. On the other hand, I had light cramping before the CP in cycle 1, and nothing last month (when AF showed up basically on time). So who knows? My body is weird.

[compassrose]

Keeping a good thought, @writererin. Did you temp go below cover this am? Cramping is pretty common in early pregnancy, so it can definitely go either way.

[larzhope]

Bfn and I started spotting like 2 minutes later 😞 on to Femara.

 sorry larzhope

[Jalapeñomel]

@lazhope I hope the Femara makes all the difference for you.

[somersault72]

I'm so sorry, larzhope. I hope the Femara works like a charm!

[compassrose]

I'm sorry larzhope. I hope the Femara works for both of us.

Thanks, compassrose!  I actually haven't started temping yet (I couldn't find the thermometer before the beginning of this cycle, and thought it would be pointless to start in the middle of the cycle), so I have no idea.  But the thermometer has been found and relocated to my side of the double vanity in our bathroom, so if nothing comes of this cycle, I'm starting on the next one!

I'm having my normal PMS symptoms down south...but I also had those symptoms when I had the CP (and none last month).  So far nothing has happened, so I'm holding out hope!
