I am halfway through the TWW and am so excited for time to go by. I feel it is sucking my brain energy up! Had some twinges in my right side earlier today - hoping its a good sign, but I'm not holding my breath. How are you doing?

    Hey!! I had sent you a PM asking you the same thing! You and I are on the same dpiui, I believe. I'm doing good. The progesterone is making me crazy, sleepy, and dizzy. PLUS, I got food poisoning over the weekend and when I regained consciousness the first thing I googled was "food poisoning during TWW". Looks like my uterus is safe from the bacteria, but WOW what a way to spend three days!! I'm keeping positive with my circle + bloom meditation and hoping this letrozole did the trick!!

    Hang in there...when are you going to test? I want to on Sunday because it's my birthday and it's 12dpiui. :)
    I'm going to test on Monday, as that is what FF recommends based on my cycles. It's going to be hard to wait, but I think I can. I am using progon orally and it seems to be making me a little sensitive on my nips. Other than that, no other symptoms than the pinching cramps this afternoon. Good luck to you and enjoy those meditations!

    You must have a long LP! Mine is on the shorter side, so I think I'm set to test about 13 DPO.

    I'm trying really hard not to obsess about every little "symptom" this round. But I can't help but noticed light cramping on my lower left side almost every day. Last month we tested at 10 dpo (which is today) but this month we are waiting until at least 13. Good luck to all!!!! :)

    5 DPI here and ugh I hate it. my only maybe symptom is strange twinges on my lower right abdomen yesterday all afternoon. I'll be testing on CD 13, Thanksgiving Morning. If I get the + I know what I'll be thankful for! Also that Sunday is DW and my anniversary so it would be great if this would be the month!

    Good luck everyone!

    My LP is 15 days. I figure by 16 dpo AF will be here or a BFP.

    That really sucks about the food poisoning. Last year DW, our son and I all 3 got food poisoning on her birthday!! OMG we were sooo miserable. Thank goodness we have a huge king size bed and 2 bathrooms lol. The reason I said that about our bed is because our son was 15 at the time but he was so sick he wanted to lay in bed with his mommies lol. So he crawled up between me and DW in the bed and all 3 of us laid there being miserable together and trying to sleep, when we werent in the bathroom that is.
    Glad you are feeling better and GL

    10 dpi here. Not looking too good. I have my typical preAF migraine. Ugh! Hope you all get your BFPs this month! Good luck!

    I am pretty calm this cycle. I actually just had to add up how many dpo I am. I think I am 5dpo. Hopefully that is how the next week and a half will go. Good luck to all of you ladies in the TWW. We plan to test on 13 or 14 dpo. I think that will be the day before or Thanksgiving day. We will see :)

    I'm only 4dpIUI. From my charting, it appears as though I ovulated the day after my IUI though, so probably too late for any of the swimmers to still be alive :(. I'm holding out hope that I ovulated early enough. I won't test for another 10 days, too many BFNs last cycle made me a crazy person :(

    I think I am 9dpo. So far so good, I'll probably test by the end of the week.

    I'm not in my tww but I just wanted to let you know I was wondering how you gals were doing. :D

    Last cycle when I was in my tww right about this time I was so hyper sensitive to anything my body did. I think I ready way too much into everything. I will IUI this Saturday and intend to ignore everything after the insem as I had almost every sign last cycle and was really sad when I got the BFN and AF showed up.

    GL ladies and I hope you get your BFP this cycle!

    So this is our first TWW after using a doctor! We have to go in on Monday to do a pregnancy test at the doctor and that will be day 14, but wondering if I could test sooner?! Any advice of what we should do? Very anxious... but excited too :)

    Hate the TWW. Haven't been here in a while. Starting progesterone tonight. I'm 3dpo / 4dpai. Fun times. I've got a ton of Internet cheapies so I'm considering starting 7dpo and testing daily.

    Omg! Food poisoning is the worst. I couldn't imagine having that during my tww.

    I'm 5 dpo and about to drive myself crazy. I had myself CONVINCED that it worked, until lunchtime today when all my "symptoms" magically went away, and now I am convinced it DIDN'T work and I just want my period to start so I can start over.

    My AF is due on Thanksgiving, and we're traveling out of state. I am going to have to pack both tampons/soy isoflavones AND HPTs. And none of my family knows we are even TTC. I hope I'm not a mess while I'm at my mom's.

    Last round was our first one, I got my period before I had to go for the blood test. I will be testing on day thirteen because I usually only have 12 day lutenal cycle. I think they don't want you doing a blood test early because it would be a waste. I would test at home whenever you want, but not too early!

    Spotting today - not sure if that is good or bad. I quit Vitex because it was causing me to spot about a week in advance of my period which is certainly not attractive or fun, and this time I thought I had escaped it entirely. Maybe it's implantation spotting. Unless AF arrives over the weekend, it's going to be hard to wait until Monday to test, but I've committed to just doing one!

    Feeling really down about this cycle. I really don't think this is our month and I so want it to be.
