2WW - two week wait...time from ovulation until you can test for pg

we should know more tomo (when AF is due) so far no signs of her. *fingers crossed*

 AF is due for me any time. I tested yesterday and got a BFN. Man I don't understand why this has got to be so difficult. I just never knew TTC was gonna be so hard on my emotions. I feel like all I do is wait. Wait for AF, then I wait to O, then I am in the TTW and I wait to test.
I need to loose 10 pounds. I have not been exercising as much in the last 5 months as I did not want anything to mess with my ovulation. Now I am mad at my self. Gained weight and I am still not preggers. What the hell is wrong. I have already had a baby with my husband. ( I love my DD and am so grateful to have her). I got pregnant with her at 260 lbs. So I have proven fertility with my DH.
I just feel like I needed to vent. Thanks for letting me.
Hope you all get your BFP's soon.  
Amy

I hope this is it for you!

CD21 here.. I think I'm in the 2WW. I re-checked with the ob/gyn I saw recently, and confirmed that she wants me to go in for labs to check progesterone 7 DPO, and Not on CD21 as she originally told me. So I guess that's what I'll be doing on Thursday.

Happy 4th everyone!

Shari, will you add me to the TTC list? I'm almost 18 months post op. I've been TTC this time since 3/09. I'm on Femara and currently on D15. I have PCOS.This would be baby #2 for us. We have a son who is 11. Thanks- Jennifer

Hey ladies just say the post. So heres the thing I have no clue whats going on with me. they found something maybe a cyst and I have a CAT scan on friday to see. so I have decided that I (and more importantly my husband LOL) need a break. I think we are waiting until septemberish to start trying to trying again. I think as of right now my health and marriage need to be my focus. Good luck to all the ladies TTCing!!!!!

My IVF cycle is progressing a little faster than expected.  We do egg retrieval tomorrow!!!! I am taking it one step at a time.  Just praying for several quality eggs tomorrow then that they all fertilize.  Trying not to get too stressed but this is really scary for me and dh.  Hopefully in 2 weeks we will get a positive beta

Baby dust to everyone!!!!
