I totally agree! I am 2dpo and this week seems to be dragging by! The 2WW is the worst to me! Here's hoping we get our BFP's this month!!!

Hi Heather! I sure hope these 2 weeks pass by faster than they have been! Oh well, I'm learning a BIG lesson in patience!

I know what you mean. Last month I made myself a nervous wreck, so I am trying to be more patient this time. I worked myself into a frenzy last month.
What medications, if any, are you using? Are you trying natural or doing IUI?

HI Ladies, I agree this 2WW sucks the life out of you but I have been keeping busy. Work is crazy so at least I am not thinking about it during the day just at night and early morning. I will hopefully have some good news on Friday so only 2 more days!

Heather, I know what you mean about being a nervous wreck - I am the same way! I used Clomid and got the HCG trigger shot to release my 2 eggs (not sure if it worked though). I'm taking Prometrium suppositories...yuck! I did an IUI with donor sperm. My DH is fixed. It was on 9/13. How about u? DCL - good luck on Friday!

Well, it's 4:30am here in CO, and I'm too tired to sleep. I don't know if that makes sense, but I didn't sleep well at all last night, kept waking up every hour or so. It's just nuts. Hope you all have a great day!

DCL - Good luck!! I hope you get a BFP come Friday!!
Celestia - I am on my 4th cycle of IUI. The first 3 months were on Clomid and the latest one was using the injectibles. I had my IUI on Sept. 18 so I am only 3dpo. I just turned 35 this week and DH is 32. He has a low sperm count so the doctor said IUI or IVF would be our best bet. Baby dust to you both!

Thank you, Heather! What's the difference between Clomid and injectibles? What are the injectibles? IUI is definitely cheaper. I'm 29 and DH is 41. He wants to continue ttc until the end of the year, and then I think he wants to call it quits if it doesn't work, so I hope it works before then! I hope things work out for all of us :-)

Clomid is a pill that tricks your body into producing extra hormones to produce more eggs. Injectibles are an actual shot you have to give yourself each evening. They are made from natural hormones from premenopausal women that cause your body to produce more eggs. Both are used to produce more eggs but the injectibles are much stronger and much more expensive.

Ah, okay. I got it now. So are the injectibles the same as Gonal-F? I know about Clomid, as that's what made me produce 2 follicles. Hopefully everything kicked in this time around!

Well, it's another early morning here in CO. Woke up at 3:30 and can't get back to sleep. I cry easily and feel like I could bite heads off! I'm so tired, but too tired to sleep. I hope it means I'm pregnant, cause I don't remember being this way the other 2 times I've tried this.

I hope you are right Celestia! That would be awesome!! How many DPO are you? I am only 4dpo today. Uggh! This 2WW is awful! Thank goodness it is Friday! I am so glad it is almost the weekend!

Me too! I know, the 2WW is horrible! I'm 9 dpo right now, but I'm going to wait a little longer to test, maybe a week from today, so 7 days to go. Good luck and baby dust :-)

Well, I heard from my dad about 1 1/2 hours ago and he said my grandpa, whose health has been failing for 2 years now, has renal failure, and could die at any moment. He's in MN, so we're going to go up there for a while. Take care and hope you get those BFPs!

Hi again - I haven't heard anything more about my grandpa, and my parents decided not to go up just yet, so I guess we'll wait and see. Anyway, I still hope we all get BFPs!

How are you doing? I'm at 11 dpo and have lower back pain and AF like cramps and hot flashes too. I haven't tested yet, I'm too scared.
