I had forgotten how much I hate the 2WW...all i want to do is test!
So who else is waiting with me? Any symptoms (imaginary, or otherwise) yet?
I've been sick to my stomach for 2 days, but I think I'm catching something not anything pregnancy related

Me, but I'm not very hopeful at this point. I'm 10 DPO and have had BFNs yesterday and today. Plus I'm starting to feel like AF is getting ready to appear. I can't be sure, because it's been so long since I've had a normal AF that I'm not sure if I'm thinking correctly. But that's how I'm feeling... We'll see in the next couple of days I guess...

I hope this is your cycle too!! Sorry for the cramps that's rotten, especially when you're TTCing and gives you one more thing to obsess over.

How many days are you into this cycle? That 1st cycle after my D&C was insanely loooooong and definitely worse than the "happier" side of 2WW. HUGS

Good luck when you test again and definitely don't give up hope on a BFN at 9-10DPO....I recall FF had a lovely inspirational stat that based on all of their chart analysis that DPO14 was the single most accurate day to test as the risk of false negatives was significantly higher prior to that day. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I hope the 2WW goes fast, and that you get a lucky BFP out of it too! Whether to wait/not wait is definitely a big decision, and I'm sure it's been tough on you TTC so soon after a loss but hopefully this will be a great cycle for you!
AFM, I woke up again totally nausous and feeling sick...i refuse to read too much into it though as DH was sick all weekend and I'm probably just catching what he had....although I can't help recalling that when I got pregnant with Savannah I actually stayed home from work sick the day I tested b/c I thought I had the flu I felt so bad....hmmm.... ok i know, i know it's still WAY too early to be that, but I girl can hope right???

I'm there as well - just mine is NEWW (never ending weeks waiting) Since there was no ovulation I don't know when dear old AF will bother to get up and show her face. I've never resented my period as i am this month

I had the D&E 3 weeks ago and am either cramping due to O'ing which I am pretty sure I did last week, or AF is about to appear. The doc said that it should come within the next week to 3 weeks, so we will see what happens.

I think I am. I had my first AF after loss in August and I should be on CD20 today. I am not sure of when I O'd this month (or even if I did). Had some cramping on my right side last weekend (I have a cyst) and it usually is a sign so I am going with that.
Good luck with everyone.

Okay so 11 DPO today... I had some pretty good cramping yesterday, which led me to believe that AF was getting ready to show... but got up this morning and am not feeling her. DF and I DTD this morning (that usually hurries her along if she's waiting in the wings) and still not even a tinge. I'm not really feeling like I'm having major symptoms... I've been a little emotional, but my sleep has been screwy and I feel hungry all the time. I don't feel bloated all over like I usually do right before AF, just kind of heavy in my lower abdomen. Oh and my temp had gone down a bit in the last couple of days and it went back up this morning...
I'm out of tests so I didn't POAS this morning... Maybe I'll wait til Saturday???

Same thing happened to me. I was convinced that AF was coming. I was cramping and just knew she would show up and she didn't. I got BFN's until 13 DPO. So don't count yourself out until the witch shows. I'm so hoping that she doesn't.
Good Luck to everybody else!!

Thanks Melissa... I hope so too! I'd love to join that May DDC with you! It did just occur to me that I have been peeing more than normal today. I'll probably have to stop on the way home tonight and pick up some more tests!
Lara - when are you going to test???

HUGS I hope it comes soon, waiting post D&C/D&E is terrible. My first cycle took 47 days and I was ready to come unhinged for like the last 2 weeks of it I was sooooo tired of waiting for it to finally arrive.

Good luck to you too! When are you thinking of testing? Not knowing when you O'd definitely adds a wrinkle on when to POAS....

I'm excited for you to test again..Sat is a good target if you'll be 13DPO then and if you have the will power to hold out that long I'll bow down to you too
I'm thinking I'm 5-6DPO right now...so not testing earlier than Sunday and if I were smart (i'm not ) I'd wait until later next week to have best chance of accurate result (either way). I'm so mixed on this cycle...we could get lucky but I'm struggling a little bit that my loss was when I was in the May '09 DDC so there's a tiny part of me feeling very superstitious and thinking it'd be better if i didn't get a BFP this month b/c it's going to dredge up bad memories & even more paranoia than i'd have normally if I'm back in a May DDC this time around

I may not last beyond tomorrow so don't put on the knee pads yet!
I understand the superstition thing... I even had the same thought because I found out that I was pregnant last time in May and this time I'd be due a year later... I think that's totally natural and part of our desire to attach a reason to the pain we went through. I certainly feel a fair amount of trepidation at the thought of being pg again... enough that there's a little voice saying "are you really sure you want to think about doing this again?" But I'm going to try really hard to let the excitement overpower that voice if/when it happens.

That's a great sign!! Everything is crossed for you! I hope you get your BFP!!
I am tentatively in the 2ww. I only have one high temp but had all of the other pre-O signs & positive OPK so I'm fairly confident that I'm entering the wait. I really hope the 2ww ends well for all of us! Let's continue this TTCAL BFP boom!

That's a great sign...and you weren't POAS, so you're still my hero  Although i'm DYING to test today, so then I start thinking maybe I can convince Becky to test this afternoon to distract me since she's 12DPO
I seriously need an POAS intervention today....and the only thing that's keeping me from doing it is I've intentionally NOT purchased any FRERs yet. If I go get any prior to Sunday, I know my resolve will fail....
