I am 5 dpo. I keep obsessing over whether or not I am seeing those "Montogomery's Tubercules"..... I hate this wait! I am trying to make it more "fun" this time around.
cdb~ sorry about your bfn. I know how disappointing that is.

The wait is nerve wrecking. I am on CD 22 on a 25 day cycle. This is only my third month trying, but I too was in a fairy tale world and thought I would be preggo right away. The last two months I was testing and charting, but this cycle I didn't do anything except BD. I should know by Friday, if I can wait that long to test. I am not very hopeful though b/c I have been feeling crampy the past few days. I guess it is on to round four.

Thanks for your story too. I guess it makes it easier knowing that I'm not the only person who is really obsessing over it. I've always had a regular 28 day cycle and got pregnant super easy. I'm 31 now, and we have been TTC very hard every month and no luck. I do feel my hormones are out of balance, and this month I'm actually feeling better than I have since the reversal...so I'm hoping to get a BFP soon, and if not, I'm praying for patience,lol.

If there are definitely sperm in the tube when the egg floats by, why wouldn't one of them penetrate it? (It's probably basic conception info, but I guess I don't get it...)

Remember ladies.. even ladies that do not have TR and are TTC can take 6 mo to a year to get preg. I think alot of us are in the same boat, especially when we had our first babies young, because it seems so easy and automatic to get preg back then, now we actually have to think about it! Hang in there!!

We bd'd every day prior to my o day (used opk's) and the day after o. I'm 4 dpo and am also trying to just live in today and not completely obsess. My TR was at the end of July but this is just our 2nd month actually trying due to dh being out of town in August. I am 39 so time is of the essence! My RE said if we don't conceive after 3 cycles he wants to intervene. DH hasn't had his sperm tested yet though. It didn't seem necessary so hopefully his count is ok! A little of my history-- I have 3 children from my previous marriage, dh has none. I had 4 miscarriages after I had my 2nd daughter so I consider my little guy (who will be 5 in December) a miracle. That is one reason I already consulted an RE and had fertility testing done prior to my TR. My dh and I were teenage sweethearts so we feel really blessed to be together again and REALLY want to have a baby together. In a way, I feel like I am tempting fate but I at least want a CHANCE to have ababy. I must confess, it is really hard for me to envision it actually happening after so many mc's and a tubal ligation. It's hard to believe it will work for ME. I am trying not to project too much as I do have a great deal of concern over miscarrying. It was such a heartbreaking thing to deal with but somehow I got through it. I guess I could get through it again. I usually get pg really easily so if I don't get pg soon it makes me worry that the tubes are already blocked... Thanks for "listening" and I look forward to sharing the tww. Last month was torturous! I am trying really hard not to obsess. I either am or am not pg at this moment and no amount of worrying will change that!

@ asaunde6835...I agree with you too; we want a baby more than anything. I have just let this whole process consume me...I'm either waiting to O so we can try again, or I'm waiting to test to see if it worked. It has been very emotional for me. A few days ago, I realized that I have been wishing the last 5 months of my life away, and I can't keep dwelling on this.
Here is my story, and I would love for everyone else to share if they would like. I have 2 sons from a previous marriage, and my husband has no children. He is amazing with kids. He coaches soccer, basketball, teaches Spanish at the school our children go too, and all children love him. He really has baby fever, but has always been so supportive and never pressured me into TTC. He has always said that he just wants a child that only calls him daddy. He does not't care how or where it comes from. He just does not't want to have to share him/her, and I want to give him that more than anything, and every month that passed....I feel like a failure. It has been a lot easier this month for me. I want a child now, but I am trusting that God will give us one when the time is right. It makes it easier for me.
I'm 5DPO now, and I would love to chat and wait with you girls. Wishing everyone the best.

@ Jes...I have to admit it is hard having month after month go by without success.
I tell myself daily that if I don't have a child, I am still blessed because I have children already...but in reality, I would be devastated. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the blessings I have, but I want, what I want! lol very selfish thinking right?
Hang in there, we will wait it out together! I have at least 8 days before I can even think about testing. Maybe this month will be it, maybe not...but I will continue down this path that I started and hope that the end result is positve.
Not sure if it will help you, but I started a "pregnancy" journal. I right down my physical and emotional feelings for the day. It makes me feel a little better:) <<It's nice to go back and read what I was feeling a week ago. Also, I can compare symptoms>>

I'm playing the waiting game too. I had my reversal the first week of May. The surgery went way better than expected, and I thought I would already be pregnant by now, but every month I have been disappointed. Even though I am very happy for everyone's BFP, it seems to make me jealous. This 2WW is going to be different for me. I'm no longer going to wait and obsess over it, but I'm going to concentrate on my family and every blessing I have in my life. I don't think God had brought me this far to leave me, and I'm working hard on being patient and accepting his time. With the H1N1 virus going around..now is not the best time to be pregnant anyway...Good luck to everyone.
