I know that this thread is a couple days early, but I am SUPER excited to start the two week wait on March 1st. I trigger tonight so I am expecting to O in about 40 hours (give or take, lol). DH's sperm has 4 targets as opposed to 1 so I am fervently praying that we will get our sticky bean. I am so hopeful this cycle and just can't shake that feeling that this might actually be it for us.
So, who else will be joining me for the March 2 week wait?

I'm 11DPO today so I will be in the end of my 2ww in early March. I tested today and BFN I try not to get my hopes up but this month felt different, my boobs hurt (not just sore) and I have been so fatigue and tired and I never get that way (except early pregnancy), but BFN! Good luck to you Shel!!

Jen. I also tested at 11 DPO and got a BFN, then 3 days later the positve, so you are not out. And the sore boobs (and I mean so sore it hurt to touch, lay on my side/stomach, or jiggle them) was different from other cycles.
Shel- you sound so much more hopeful this cycle and really it sounds good. I am praying this is it. We need lots of BFP's here.

Don't get discouraged, Jen. You are still early. Your symtoms sound very promising. I hope you get your BFP this week!! Are you going to test tomorrow? I wonder how long it takes for the hcg to get out of my system from the trigger. Anyone know? I am already VERY nauseous. I didn't expect that and certainly not so soon after the injection. I wonder if that is why they have you do it at night. I suppose I should go to bed because I feel awful

Shel- I believe it is 7 around 7 days. The women I know who triggered would start taking tests around 5-7 days to see when they went negative and then would start retesting at 10 days to see if they get a true BFP

Thanks girls, I am 12DPO and usually start my period around 15 dpo, so I will wait til AF is due to test again. I hate BFN's and don't want to see them more than needed lol! So will test again on Thursday.

Ooh, I hope this is your month, Jen! AF, stay AWAY!!
I have no idea if I O'd on Monday or Tuesday, but yesterday I had some serious cramping and gassiness. This is typical for me around O time, but it was a little more intense than usual. My RE nurse called to tell me my estrodial test from Saturday came back at 643 so there is definitely a mature egg (or 2) in there. The levels should be 200-600 per egg. We have been BDing every day since Saturday and I think we will squeeze in one more today for good measure. I know we have done everything we can this cycle so I am feeling really good about things. I can't test until 14dpo, though due to the hcg shot. My LP is normally 12 days, but the nurse says the clomid regimen can lengthen LP so a test is not reliable until 14dpo. That is going to be torture!! I guess I will POAS on March 14 or 15. I'm just praying that all those sperm and however many eggs I ended up releasing are getting to know each REALLY well right now. Everything just feels so perfectly right, KWIM?
So, I'm going to say that I am 1dpo today.

Thanks Shel! I am 14 dpo, no spotting, boobs hurt so bad I had to take my bra off yesterday for a bit it was uncomfortable to wear it, odd! I don't like to get my hopes up and look into every little thing and try not too, but it's hard when you want it so bad! I am keeping my FX for you!!

How is everyone doing? My digestive track is SUPER S--L--OOOOOOOO--WWWWW...it's just awful. I'm thinking it must be the trigger shot. Oh, and I am starving all the time. I feel like I've gained 5lbs since Monday - ugh! Must.stop.eating! Also, I have tons of lotiony CM which is something I only get when pg, but then again I have that HCG shot in my system. It's kind of frustrating feeling pg, but not having ANY idea if that's really the case. I'm going to ask the clomid gals on BC when I should start testing out the trigger. I have read that around 10dpo is good, but that is SO far away.
I'm going to the RE on Monday to have my progesterone test to see if I did in fact O. I'm pretty sure I did, but this will also let them know if I'm producing enough P to support a pg.
Does anyone else feel like a month has shrunk down to 2 weeks since ttc? I feel like the only time I'm not focused on it is when AF gets here and the 2 weeks leading up to O. Beyond that, it is ALL I can think about unless I am preoccupied with something else like skiing, but it's impractical to do that every day for two weeks every month! Maybe I'm just nuts?
We are 14 months post VR. Who would have thought? My second angel was due this month. I REALLY struggled with that loss, but God has healed my broken heart. Today, it made me smile to think about that little one today. It's odd to me that I miss someone I've never met, but it gives me such incredible peace to know that I will get to do so one day.
Anyway, I am rambling. I'd like to hear how you are all doing.

Shel - Things are good. Still in my wait. 13 DPO and no AF yet. Took a digi tonight and BFN, which I figured. Would the trigger bring on the lotiony CM? I agree. The wait seems soooo long. I'm so excited for you tho! At 14 months out, it's your time for a sticky bean and a baby! I mean really....it's your time and now that your heart is healed and you are ready to move on means you are fully ready. I'm so proud of you. It's been a rough year for you and you have such an upbeat attitude about it. I know you have your hard days and you will have more from time to time, but overall, you are a strong woman and I can only hope that if that ever happens to me, I can gain strength from you and your experience. HUGS

Aww...Tiff, you are so sweet. Thank you for your kind words. I would love to get a BFP this month, but I won't be devastated if it doesn't happen. 13dpo and no AF sounds promising. Are you overanalyzing symptoms yet, lol? How long is your LP normally? Sorry about the BFN (those stink), but maybe it's too early? Didn't Kirsten get her BFP at 14dpo? You just never know. I'm rooting for you, girl!
The clomid girls on BC (aka experts) said to begin testing out the trigger at 8dpo so I guess I will start doing that on Wed of next week. Here's a thought. My RE has me coming in on Monday for my 7dpo progesterone test, but I had my shot on Sunday night. Fast forward 35-40 hours and that puts O on Tuesday of last week. Will my progesterone test be valid if I have it done on Monday? I wonder why he wrote down to have the b/w done on March 7? He also said he will put me on P if I do end up pg, but I've read that it doesn't do any good if you don't begin it right after O - not to mention his colleague (same office) doesn't think it does any good at all. Clearly, this is not an exact science and treatment largely depends on the opinion of the day.

Hey! I posted this on BBC and thought I would C&P it over here. I POAS yesterday, thought I saw two lines but nope. Later during the day looked at it and saw two lines, knowing one was an evaporation line threw the test out and TRIED not to think about it anymore. I will test again tomorrow (Sunday). I was 11 DPO yesterday.I have been feeling a little yuck lately usually after I eat and have an odd taste in my mouth. I have also taken two naps this week when the boys are napping. Which I havent done since I was pg with my second son. So yes I am TOTALLY reading into all of this. I mean isnt that what us VR girls do? Haha! I will update tomorrow if I dont start spotting today sometime. (I usually spot a little before my AF starts).
