TWW 2/16

[melsamoony]

I have to start a post as today is likely day 1 of my TWW (waiting for confirmation from my app tomorrow).

I am feeling oddly good about this cycle which makes me nervous because I have never felt that way. I am really hoping this is the one and so worried about my response if it isn't. So many feels.

How is everyone else?

Tomorrow should be day 1 for me. I'm not temping but all other signs point to O today. I had 8 days of high readings on my monitor before getting peak, so that's different, I usually get 2 or 3. Not sure if that's good or bad but at least it's different. We had good timing so we will see.

I’m taking a break from temping this month, but this weekend should start my wait. Something is going on with me and I have an app next week. Dr google points to adhesions from my C-section. Last month the pain post-ovulation was so bad H almost drove me to the ER. That was the push to make an appointment. I can’t even describe the pain it’s so bad. The weird thing is 3-4 days of it and it’s totally gone. The pain + lack of getting pregnant is starting to worry me. I hope I get somewhere next week.

2 dpo according to my app which has my ovulation on Friday. I thought my ovulation would be Thursday....We stopped BD'ing Thursday after 4 days in a row. I had UTI symptoms Friday night so we skipped but now I regret it. I am hoping what we did is enough.

I'm doing okay. I think it's starting to sink in how bad our odds really are so I'm not stressing every day of the TWW like I did last month. I do wish I'd make SO start taking vitamins a few months ago though. I should still get him some but we aren't going to be TTC for more than a few more months so not sure if it's worth it.

kermit what kind of vitamins?

Just a multivitamin. His diet is okay but could be better and I made him take one last time.

Multivitamins are good. After I am done ttc and being pregnant/breastfeeding I need to be better about taking a regular multivitamin. I am good about the prenatal but fall off after breastfeeding.

My appointment went well! Thanks for asking! I had gone to my PCP and felt very blown off, but my gyn took me seriously. He thinks I have build up of scar tissue between my bladder and uterus. We’re going to go through the process of ruling other things out and in the mean time he’s going to do a full blood work panel on me including thyroid. By the time we re-group after the results another cycle or two will have gone by. He said if he diagnoses scar tissue/adhesions at that point he will want to check to make sure nothing is blocked. The bad news is there is nothing other than ovulation suppression and anti-inflammatories we can do for adhesions (unless there is an actual blockage), but at this point I’m just so happy to be listened to. He said they manage symptoms for most women, so the long term outlook is okay. He was so proactive, it just made a world of difference for my mindset.

Gl! When will you test? I think 7dpo is when I hit full crazy person

[melsamoony]

lifetaketwo I tested today like and insane person BFN but I have never gotten a positive this early so IDK why I tested.

[kermit]

Spotting already at 8 DPO so pretty sure I'm out. Trying not to be too bummed but it's disappointing, we had really good timing this month.

[melsamoony]

kermit ugh. Hoping for the best. Do you spot usually before your period?

Yes, always, a few days before. I'm taking progesterone but it's not enough to hold off the spotting. Think I'll up the dose next cycle. I'll still take it and test Tues. morning to make sure before I stop, but I'm certain enough that I'm going to go get some wine to drown my sorrows.

I am going to be drinking wine tonight too after my BFN today. Hoping it is just too early for me but not hopeful.

9DPO is super early to test. Good luck!

kermit I know and I have never gotten a bfp that early but I couldn't resist. DS has been asking about a baby sibling every day this week and I just wanted to know.

[lifetaketwo]

melsamoony hopefully it’s just early!
