Well hopefully I did that right.

Someone tell me what I'm supposed to do instead of checking my chart 10,000 times a day.  You know, like it's going to change, or tell me anything at all during the 2WW anyway.   I need an intervention.  Help!

[SilaMarila]

Thanks for the new thread JustKate! The 2ww is a great time to schedule "relaxing" things like a haircut, massage, chiropractor ect. I keep "saving" up these things to do during a 2ww and so it seems never actually get to do them... it's also a good time to do one of those fun outings with your kiddos that you've been wanting to do but haven't! I have a I'm Only Allowed to Check My Cervix 3 Times a Day Rule  (omg I jut admitted that!) You could try to enforce the same on you chart lol. This is also a good time to play the If I Ovulated ____ I Will Be Due ____ Game. It has many versions too! I will hear the heart beat, I will find out the gender...ect. Ok, some of these might not really be helpful ideas sorry!

Mantras are good. My body knows how to conceive. I set my intention, I hold my vision, then I release myself to a wiser plan. The timing will be perfect. Those are some I use...

[BubbleMa]

Thanks for the new thread Kate!  :)

I like Sila's suggestion of scheduling fun things during your 2ww!  We're going on a family vacation (our family + my mom, sister #2, sister #3, her boyfriend and my niece!) starting on the 30th.  So I've been keeping myself busy planning (aka, shopping) for that.  This next week and a half is going to go quickly for me.  My period is due a few days before we leave, so hopefully the closer it gets the less I'll be thinking about it!

Thanks for the new thread Kate!

My sextravaganza fell apart, only BD those last 2 times, DH bailed on last night and we argued this morning and the rest of the day kind of fell apart. He is gone for work now for 2 weeks & it doesn't look/feel like I have even O'd yet. TTC is exhausting & lonely, I spent most of the afternoon crying.

[Stevi]

cbaa2010...   Isn't that always the way it seems to go, right when we think things will go smoothly? Hugs! I'm sorry about the sextravacaput...

AAM...   Can I be moved to Waiting to O, please? I might as well be in the right list if this potential monogomous donor comes through.

Think Fertile Thoughts!!!

[belacmsage]

Thanks for the new thread!

[cygknit]

Thanks for the new thread! And lots and lots of !

[remark71]

Sourire:  It sounds like your timing was great, I hope that the end of this cycle turns into a BFP. 

JustKate:  Thanks for the new thread.

AFM: I am just hanging out on CD11, hoping to O the next couple of days.  Otherwise nothing to report.

Good Luck to everyone, hope to see more BFP's by the end of July.

[justKate]

Updated.

Now off to chart-stalk you all (and my FF friends) so that I'll stop looking at my own chart. 

ETA: Tantylynn. Your chart is HOT.  Are you still waiting 'till (your) Wednesday to test?

[MeredithA]

Thanks for the new thread Kate! Keep yourself busy busy busy these 2 weeks to keep from going nuts (and give your eyes a break from staring at your chart!) I'm waiting too. I like Sila's mantras too - I'll have to give those a try. 

cbaa, I'm sorry about the sexstravaganza not working out!!  Hang in there!

Baby dust to all this week!

[MeredithA]

BubbleMa, I just realized that we are both in Atlanta! I wish I could go on vacation also to pass the time quickly (& escape the heat!).

AFM, AF is scheduled to arrive in 6 days, although my cycles aren't always regular & I think stress delayed O this month too...so I'm not 100% sure when to expect AF to tell you the truth. Hoping for a BFP soon!

[Gemmine]

cbaa: *smushy hugs*

tantylynn: Your chart looks effing AWESOME. I'd be peeing on everything right now if I had your chart LOL. Are you feeling any symptoms??

AFM: My glass baking pan just exploded, glass EVERYWHERE. It was so traumatizing. I'm terrified to put glass in the oven now.

[BubbleMa]

MeredithA, Awesome!  :) 
 

cbaa2010, sorry to hear that. :(  Hopefully you O soon, and the BD'ing you got in will work.  :)
 

Gemmine, Yikes!  Were the contents of the dish really cold before you put them in the oven?  It might help to put cold dishes in the oven while it preheats next time.
 

[tantylynn]

Thanks for the new thread!

I love your mantras sila! Definitely going to put those to use! Thanks :)

Sorry things fell apart for you cbaa  Looking at your chart today could be O if your temp shoots up tomorrow (because of CM and +OPKs) and you'd still have BDd in the fertile window. O vibes for you and you too Remark!!

JustKate and Gemmine I know right!!! I think I'm in denial. I know my chart is pretty (I stare at it enough lol) but I just keep thinking the Clomid has done something crazy to my charts and it doesn't mean anything. Although I can't deny that AF is supposed to start tomorrow and I don't really feel like she's coming...no spotting (I usually have atleast 4 days of that) and no lower back pain - which is usually my only consistent pre-AF symptom. My BBs feel more sensitive - TMI esp nipples - which I don't usually get. I feel bloated and tired but I have felt that way pretty much since I finished the Clomid. For now I will stick to my wed test, no guarantees I wont go  and POAS before then though.

Does anyone know if Clomid can change your LP? I'm keeping my hope at bay because I keep thinking maybe Clomid has just lengthened my usual LP??

[TenzinsMama]

New thread, thanks so much!  I don't have much going on, but have to say that I'm glued to this thread each day-- the support and encouragement,that's all great and I'm so looking forward to hearing what is happening with each of you on here!

[WildDoula]

Hey ladies, I think I'm ready to come back.  Could you please move me to Waiting to O?

DH and I have been through a lot of personal changes and changes in our relationship, and we feel much better about where we're at with life. And so the TTC continues!

I am going to start temping now that we're starting fresh, so could you please add my chart? http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/348c30 Hopefully that works. 

Good luck to everyone in the 2WW! 

[tantylynn]

OMGosh. Just took an IC for fun after work. I left it up to DH cause I didn't want to be disappointed if it was -, and he said YES take a test. So I did. And...my first EVER BFP!. I can't believe it. Looks like 20th cycle of trying + 50mg of Clomid was the charm! BTW, the line is still there. It's real and it's even semi-dark. I guess I did wait long to test LOL. I do have a picture to post but MDC is being lame and it won't work :(. I'll try again later. Now I'm trying to stay calm and not worry about the risk of miscarriage with PCOS...

Sorry for not waiting Mom2IrishBoys haha, I'll retest with you on Wed if you like..I have about 40 IC on top of the fridge that I need to use up and I have a feeling I'll probably get close to using that many in the next few weeks! 

[Mom2IrishBoys]

CONGRATS MY AUSSIE FRIEND!!!! I am BEYOND happy for you!!!! No worries love.. Have a happy healthy 9mos!! ::hugs::

[justKate]

Updated to here.

tantylynn, hooray!!  I'm glad you tested.  Congratulations!!    Let me know when you're ready to be moved to the graduates list.

gemmine, did you get burned?  That is really freaky.  What in the world happened?  I"ve heard of that happening with microwaves, but not ovens!
