hi, I'll wait with you.  We happened to dtd exactly 24 hrs before a pos OPK and didn't dtd after... so either that time did the trick or it didn't... lots and lots of to everyone!

[GaleTX]

I'm in.  I have an appointment for a blood test on the 17th and I'm trying not to test at home until the day before that so I know if I need to cancel the appointment or not.  My two week wait is actually a seventeen day wait, but who's counting, right?

[ValH]

Thanks for joining ladies! 

I'll make a list on the original post so we can keep up with "proposed" test dates... I know a lot of times we cave and test early. 

frugalmum - What date do you plan to test? 

GaleTX - Wow, a 17-day 2WW... that's tough.  I hope it goes by quickly for you, and ends with a BFP. 

I'm currently 9dpo, but with no symptoms at all... nothing.  I usually start spotting by 10dpo, so we'll see what the next few days bring.  I'm on Clomid now, so I'm hoping for no spotting at all. 

Good luck to everyone, and lots of baby dust!!! 

[saoirse2007]

hey again Val ;)

I am going to test 14th or 15th- due to tie one on with a friend that I have not been able to get together with in a long time..we have never shared a drink together because one of us was always pg or nursing a newborn...lol

af is not due until 17-21 (my cycles have been wacky!)

My son and husband have a stomach bug...if it passes to dd or myself...I may not be sharing beverage with my buddie anyhoo :(

off to the market to restock B.R.A.T. suppies and some pediapops!

[ValH]

Hi saorise!!!  One of these days, this 2WW club is going to end in a BFP for both of us!  I hope your family feels better soon, and that you can avoid whatever is going around. 

[frugalmum]

I shouldn't test until the 18th but I might cave!  Although I'm afraid to know one way or the other...

[femmeknitzi]

I think I'm still waiting to O but either way, I expect AF around the 23rd which would put me testing that weekend. Is that close enough for this thread or should I wait until the next week is posted?

Lots of luck and baby dust to you all!!

Hi Val, it was nice to see you here again...I do so hope we both get a bfp this month...It would be great to move on to a ddc together!!!
 

[ValH]

femmeknitzi - That's definitely close enough... that's why I titled the thread with the "-ish" at the end, anywhere in the vicinity is good enough for me!  I'll get you added.

[kimk0621]

Hi! We are on round #2 of Clomid ttc baby #1.  I will also be testing around the  18th.  Hoping for  BFP this month!

[ValH]

Hi kimk0621 - We are truly cycle buddies... I am also on round 2 of Clomid, TTC #1, testing on 1/18 (hopefully, if AF doesn't show before that).  I hope round 2 is our lucky number and we'll both get BFPs on the 18th!  Good luck!! 

[EonJourney]

I would like to join. I am nursing my 2.5 year old and I don't have AF yet. I just started charting in Dec and FF says I ovulated and I had EWCM so I am excited to see what happens. I am 5dpo and feel great so far. I will be testing Jan 16 or Jan 17.

[ValH]

Welcome, EonJourney!

I think I have everyone added to the original post list with the correct test date.  Check it out and let me know if I missed anything. 

Anyone got any symptoms going on??  I'm 10dpo, and I've got nothing.  Usually my boobs are sore by now, but not this time.  No cramps, nausea, heartburn.... nothing.  I usually have more imaginary symptoms than this!  Haha.  But, on a positive note, I'm not spotting yet!  Without the Clomid, I start spotting about now... and last month even with the Clomid I had some spotting around 6 and 8 dpo.  So at least I think the meds are working. 

[asprague]

Hey there!

Just looking for some people to "wait" with! My period was due on the 10th, but my husband is of the mind that testing is an unnecessary cost, when I can just wait for my period. Ugh, it is total torture!

I swear I am preggo this time! I feel tired but not head-achey like I get when I have my period. My face broke out with pimples a week after "trying", which is a week earlier than usual, making me think my hormones had a change, indicating a pregnancy! Ugh, I still have to wait another week in case the dratted period is late.

Anyone else having any real or imagined symptoms? I hate waiting alone!

[ValH]

Wow, asprague - I coud not imagine already being late for AF and NOT testing!!  I would have probably taken five tests by now if I were you!  I am in awe of your will-power. 

As for symptoms... does irritability count?  I've got that, but that's about it. 

[EonJourney]

I don't have any will power either!! I ordered some IC tests and I am counting the days until they arrive. I am 6dpo and today after my run I had some mild cramps and felt a little dizzy. That is about it so far. How is everyone else doing?

[lillylady05]

I am in my tww but with irregular cycles I'm not so sure when to expect AF. Had + opk on the 15 bd two days before the + opk. I've had major breakouts on my face, neck and chest. I few dizzy spells, cramping (which I usually don't have) and for a person who hates milk I've been wanting it a lot. Hubby is saying he thinks I'm pregnant because of that lol and he says I smell different...and not the foul smell type because he says he likes the way I smell, not really sure what he means though. Took an ic it was a bfn but I'm still holding out hope with my first I didn't find out until week 7.

[Veronika01]

Hi everyone!  My cycle was a bit weird this month and since I'm not charting or temping, I'm not exactly sure when O was.  Going by my last menstrual period, A/F should start this weekend, but I might have O'd late and that would mean A/F should come around the 18th or 19th.  If it doesn't, I'll officially be late by then.  So I'll either know I'm out by this weekend or by next week.  If nothing happens, I'll test around the 20th.

[ValH]

Welcome lillylady and veronika!!  I've gotten you both added to the original post 2ww list.  Good luck and lots of baby dust to both of you!!  And the rest of us too. 

Lillylady - if you have a projected test date, I can add that for you.  Just let me know. 

Okay, so I'm still symptom-free at 11dpo, not even the normal sore boobs.  Oh, I'm still super moody, though... poor DH.  He couldn't do anything right last night.  I'm also still spot-free at 11dpo - that must be some kind of record for me.  And my temp went up very slightly this morning - it's NEVER been this high this late in my LP.  I'm wondering if it's an effect of the Clomid, though... any thoughts on that??  Here's my chart, if anyone wants to weigh in:
