Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 , A 2ww is short for 2 week wait. It is used to describe the 2 weeks after O when you are waiting to find out if you are pg. Now there is also the 2ww waiting to try again, but generally speaking it is the 2 weeks after O before you know (and for many the 2ww is more than 2 weeks).

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 , Yes I order the Aimsticks from the website AMIPREGNANT.com. It's a pretty cool website that I don't post on but read about other's early symptoms...yes, I get completely obsessed with early symptoms. I only have 9 more days until the beta test, and in the grand scheme of things I now that is not so far away. Please send positive thoughts my way!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that your insurance covers your meds!! Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 Hi Dana, I don't know where I've been (probably still obsessing over abused children) - I didn't realize you had just done diui (thought you were still a little while away). Sorry I didn't write to see how you were doing. How are you doing? Did your doctor say how long it should be before you start having symptoms? I'll be crossing my fingers and toes, and saying lots of prayers! Good luck. maria Re: > , > > Sorry to hear you have not been feeling well. But I was glad to hear from > you.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 Hi Dana, My little puppy's sitting on my lap, very interested in your message - I think he's sending some :::::::::::::::::::::::: baby dust your way!!! Wouldn't it be great if we all ended up pregnant together!!! That would be so much fun! Did you order the Aimstick's online? I never heard of that one, but if it tests much earlier that's great for us impatient types!!! You have to write as soon as you get your results back, Monday will come sooner than you know! We go for our IVF meeting Tuesday night, then start injections on Saturday. After listening to the others, I'm trying not to think about how expensive the meds are, hopefully our insurance should cover them. I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep praying. maria Re: > , > > Thanks so much for asking. I am at cd20, 5-6 dpdiui. Yes, we did 2 back to > back last Monday and Tuesday.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 , My RE has to use it almost every time as he says I have a " kink " in my cervix and that the catheter they use to do IUI is very flexible so he has a hard time getting it in my uterus. It's terrible little tool. I think it's actually called a tenaculum but it's an instrument of torture for me. You probably won't ever have to have it. I certainly hope not. I mean there are lots more painful things out there, but this is right at the top of the list. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Dana I think that makes total sense. You figured you could try a thousand times and if it was from your bad tube you didn;t have a chance. You need just a couple of chances on the good side. Lets think positive.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Dana, Eeeekkkkk!!! That does not sound nice. I'm afraid to ask... what do they use that for? Do you think there's anyway I can avoid it? maria Re: > , > > Oh no honey, it's not the speculum it's this thing that's kinda like a combo > of hemostats and tongs.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Dana, I'm so sorry you have to go through that. I just wish we could all just get pregnant (preferably overnight) without any discomfort or emotional torture. Some people don't realize how truly fortunate they are. maria Re: Dana > , > > My RE has to use it almost every time as he says I have a " kink " in my cervix > and that the catheter they use to do IUI is very flexible so he has a hard > time getting it in my uterus.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Dana, , and A friend of mine selected a sperm donor with the same physical characteristics as her husband... no one would ever guess that he is NOT the biological father of those children.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Dana, I agree with Pam about charting. I didn't chart this month and it's drivin me crazy!!! One of the great things about charting is you can spends hours and hours starring at the chart and obsessing (in a good way), the information is invaluable!!!! maria Dana > Dana > > Have you considered charting at all?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 Keri, I can normally feel when I ovulate so I chart to have a visual picture of what is going on with my cycle (especially when ttc). maria Re: Dana > Anyone, > how do you chart to know when you have ovulated? I can usually feel it, Also when can you get pregnant is it the day you ovulate? or later? Just wondering. I have been so down lately I am sorry that I haven't posted more.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 , Wouldn't it be a hoot if we both get pg this month?? Pam and Elle would be right ahead of us!! This is beginning to get exciting (again)!! Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Pam, I have a good feeling about this one as well. All I can do is pray it is my turn!! How are you doing today? Got many pg symptoms? I have always wondered what it would feel like to be pg. I didn't know I was with the EP (until I was in trouble physically) so I just wonder what " normal " pg symptoms are like. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 , I usually try to take it easy the day after the insemination. I don't do complete bedrest (I would go crazy) but I do just basically lay around the house. I decided to take off work today so I could have a day to myself to relax. It was a nice thought, but all I have been able to do all day is analyze every single twinge, cramp, everything. One moment I am sure I am feeling O pains on the right side (my wrong side) then the next I am sure I feel them from the left. I obviously don't have a clue since I would have O'ed about 50 times by now if every pain I was certain was O was. ARGH!! I am going to try to calm down and remember that when it's time it will happen no matter what, but it's much easier said than done.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 , I think 9 is fine and like Pam said hers was an eight and she got pg. It may go up a little before Sat and if it doesn't it then it must be fine. Don't worry yourself if your RE hasn't told you to worry. I am sure if it was of concern you would know. Hang in there girl, the end is near. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Dana I am glad it came out so well. A couple of years ago I took all my pictures out of my albums to start scrapbooking. Hopefully one day I will get started. I would like to get some pictures put on VCR tapes or cd to music. Those are some future goals I have.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Dana, I can't wait to join you!!!!! I'm trying so hard to not get excited (I don't want to feel let down...), but it's tough. I'll just be so happy when I get past the retrieval and transfer. I met a woman at the doctor's who released an egg, now I'm so worried about the same thing happening to me. I know I'm just obsesssing, but I can't help it.... maria Re: Dana > , > > I am ready for you to jump in this 2ww with me. I am telling youonly 3 days > into it and I am already obsessing.
