Hey, SheKnows Guest - we need you! The SheKnows TTC boards aren't going anywhere - but perhaps you'd consider helping us grow our new TTC message boards at talk.PregnancyAndBaby.com? We want to be able to provide even more resources and support to hopeful moms, which means giving SK's sister community a little extra love. Please check out the new P&B boards here - and thanks!

I'm Chandi, I'm 22 and pretty new at this. Wifey and I inseminated me on 27th and 28th, so I'm in the middle of the tww and have no idea what to do with myself!
It'll be nice to meet some other queer women, I'm the only one I know who is trying to get pregnant!
Hi Chandi! The 2ww is the WORST!!!!!!! Is this your first insemination or have you tried before? Are you using a known donor or frozen? Sorry for the attack questions, it's just nice to get everyone's background.
DP and I have done IUI with donor sperm 3 times and haven't had much luck yet. We are sitting this cycle out (more waiting!), but should be back at it in a couple weeks.
Let us know how everything turns out and feel free to vent/obsess as your
2ww continues.

Hi We are using a known donor, and this is indeed our first cycle. My wife is really supportive, though she's wondering if I'm going to be this nuts through the whole ordeal. I seem to think that every twinge in my abdomen is either implantation, or a sure sign that I'm not pregnant. Sometimes, I'm convinced I'm unable to concieve as well.
Great to meet you
Welcome aboard! Jump right in, everyone is so great here and very supportive. I also find it better to vent on here sometimes than with dw also! The 2ww is definitely tough but it will be over before you know it. Hang in there!
I am currently in the process of my first IVF cycle so I can totally understand feeling crazy sometimes!

Stupid BFN on 12 DPO, and AF was two days late. The crimson tide now flows free.
I didn't think it'd work the first time, but I did have my hopes up.
I can't use my temp because I work shift work and am not always sleeping at the same time. Maybe I just don't ovulate.
My head is a messed up place to be right now.
Chandi - I'm so sorry! I understand feeling completely messed up in the head. I am constantly thinking something is wrong with me. Even right now, when af is just a day late (not trying this cycle, so I just want her to come!) I think that it's because something is wrong. I totally get it. We are always here if you want to vent.
