The mighty 2 week wait

Gah! ANOTHER acquaintance told me she was UTD today, I don't see her often and she's due in 4 weeks (woulda been same EDD as me, stupid MC ) Her DS is 8 months younger than my DD aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Oh tiger that sucks

AFM, just back from a week in Melbourne for the SIL's wedding. To whoever asked, I chart so that's how I know I didn't ov - normally its very distinctive but last month nothing. And Storm - agreed - must be our turn soon!

Blondie, have you thought about taking vitex to bring on your AF? I had a crazy long cycle when I came off the pill and I took that and AF came a week later - worth a shot!

I just emailed Otago Fertility Services to ask about the process for getting an appointment - don't know if its faster to go privately and how much that costs? I want to get on clomid though so the sooner the better! I got the results of thyroid testing through the naturopath and that was fine, next thing she wants to do is send me for zinc and DHEA. And I have a pelvic ultrasound at the hospital next week too, so its all go!! Yay!! Have another wedding this weekend and after that am going to really focus on being fit and healthy - I'm pretty fit anyway but need to eat a bit better so am going on a no-alcohol month and will try cut down my sugar too. Surely all of these things will eventually yield some results!

So I'm now 12DPO. Temp is still high and sustained. I'm surprised every morning when it is. I keep expecting it to go down. I have been totally crazy, and have tested 3 times already - obviously all BFN. I know it's possibly too early but I used First Response and they are meant to pick up HCG hormones from 5 days before AF. So I think I have managed to convince myself that even though my temp is high, and has stayed high, I have no other symptoms and the tests are all neg so I'm not pg. I am looking forward to another month of trying and charting, which I find really fascinating. I am also looking forward to another month of being able to exercise, get fit and healthy, and lose some more weight. AF dues Sat. Will test Sunday if no AF.

Got AF today. I'm not gutted at all which is good. I am celebrating my body as it is doing everything it should be doing at exactly the right time, so that's something to celebrate I reckon! Looking forward to the next round of trying as I feel I know more now about what my body is going to do and when. I guess the only problem is I'm away with the in-laws and we have some things planned but so far all I have wanted to do is lie on the couch! Oh we'll I'm just going to give my body what it needs and not worry about the rest - it deserves it! Have a good weekend everyone.

Welcome Mrs Impatient for the record I love your user name!

Epic - did you get a reply from OFS? I'm in Otago, I could ask a couple of people I know that have been through them if you like?

Oh Tan I'm sorry about AF, you seem to have a very positive outlook, I hope you've enjoyed your weekend. I'm always making up symptoms that I must be UTD when really I'm just PMSing, try really hard not get my hopes up.

I'm now CD14 and had +ve OPK's for last 2 days, I'm hoping for a -ve this afternoon so that I know that I have actually (theorically) OV'd.
I'm starting to get a bit paranoid that do I actually OV each month ... there are bloods that you can request is that right to check that OV has actually occured?

Bring on the 2WW, FX for a BFP this month, it would be just in time for our wedding anniversary and although I want this far more than DH at the moment, I think it would be a great double celebration

Hope you've all enjoyed a lovely long weekend, take care and **baby dust**

BTW - have any of you ordered products from Baby4You? I love that they send you Baby Dust, very sweet

Exciting, just a few days and I'll be in the TWW. I don't know whether to look forward with anticipation or dread lol. It makes you go a bit crazy that's for sure. My only saving grace is that I have short cycles and with my 2 BFPs I got results at 11DPO...so here's hoping for my luck at getting pregnant to hold. Then I can worry about the next bit after that!

So got a -ve OPK this afternoon, so FX that it's all on ... I've told DH he's not off the hook yet though

Good luck Pepi, I'll be sitting here with you with nervous trepidation!
(surely this month!?)

Hi all i am back in the two week wait wahoo, well the perks of a short LP is that its not a two week wait its a 10/11day wait much more tolerable
Anyone else in here?? and how are you all going??

^ yes! agree!
Welcome Emily, FX your journey is a short one

Thanks for all the good wishes ladies! I just had my lipoidol flush treatment which was okay, not fun but the doctor said it went very well, so here's hoping it helps.

Welcome Emily. I've heard of a number of women on here who didn't get a BFP show up for weeks even though they were pregnant. Fingers crossed for you.

Kumeroa, I'm with you on yay for short cycles!
