Any SMEPers!!!! 43 Testers! 22 BFP!!!!

[Jessica28]

Joanna - My heart goes out to you and I will keep you in my prayers. Hopefully all goes well and you won't have to lose your ovary. Keep your chin up.

Oh gosh joanna. I'm so sorry!! I hope that the cyst is removed and ttc can start again very soon. Hugs to you.

 

[Sunny skies]

I'm truly sorry joanna that you got bad news about your ovary. Praying that the cyst can be removed and ovary saved. Sending hugs your way.

Well girls, I'm back from Vaca! It was freaking awesome! I really enjoyed myself and it was great seeing my BFF!

Joanna - I am so very sorry about your cyst but be grateful that you haven't taken any Clomid that will make the cyst grow even bigger. I am really happy that they caught it before hand. Please make sure that if you do decide to take it in the future that you will get monitored via ultrasounds each month so it won't get out of control. Now, don't be worried. My sister just had a cyst the size of a tennis ball - yes, a tennis ball, removed along with her appendix while she is living in 3rd world Africa. She still has the ovary. I am sure you have nothing to worry about. P.S. also, don't be surprised if Clomid isn't covered - it doesn't have any other uses other than fertility so most insurances will not cover it at all. I pay about $22 OOP a month for it so it is cheap anyways.

May - So sorry about your co-worker. Chart is looking freaking good right now! My chart is jealous! I too am a total control freak and could never take a step back. I'd be insane. Plus, I want my charts for when I see the RE and I have to know exactly when I OV so I can start my progesterone. But it would be nice chill but know I can't do it!!

Congrats to you Babee!!

OK I can;t remember anything else!

I'll do a quick update on me: Got my Cheri22 reading - She says: SEPT and BOY so this is either birth month, concieve month or the month you find out in. Fucking sucks ass!! I better get my BFP before then! It's too far away!

I got a letter from my totally awesome OBGYN saying he is retiring and his last day will be July 8th. So I will only get one more cycle with him. He is a really great Dr. and I love the way he monitors me. It's going to be hard finding another OBGYN - I will ask him who he recommends for my issues in his practice.

I got the package for the Fertility Specialist. Holy paperwork batman! Good thing I like filling out forms. July 23rd can't come soon enough.

My chart looks like shit. I am barely over the coverline. I have a feeling my progesterone is going to be low this cycle. I go on Wed for the bloodwork. I already feel out and feel like I don't even have a chance. At least hubby gets tested soon so I will be able to know if we both have issues or if I'm the only defunct one.

Joanna, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that it seems like you've been ttc in vain due to that stupid cyst. Have you been booked in for the next step in removing it? fxd for you sweetie xx

Guess who's eggo is preggo!!!!!!

Two this morning at 11 dpo, one on FRER and one on Clearblue digital. Digitals were not around when I had my other two kids, sure was AWESOME to see PREGNANT!!!

This was our 6th cycle after mc, and first month doing SMEP, a HUGE blessing from God and SMEP did it for us!!!
Wish I would have discovered you ladies and your plan months ago...

 

[auntylolo]

Wow, we've got another one! Huge congrats to you Mandy

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Hi all, I have been MIA trying to distract myself from the dreaded TWW. I don't have much symptoms to report this cycle besides slight cramping on and off and sensitive nipples. I have been disappointment way too many times in my book, so I am going to hold out from testing. Hope everyone's doing well!

Amy - Yup at 7 DPO but refuse to test. I don't feel so lucky this cycle.

Lisa - hope you had a nice trip to NY/NJ! No need to be jealous of my chart. It looked great last cycle too and I had a big fat negative! I am doing it just as a comparison and in case I need to bring it to a doctor later on. I am really trying to ignore it at this point. I don't want the false hope from it.

Joanna - sorry about the cyst but I hope they can save your ovary.

Katy - sorry AF got you. I hate that bitch!

Mandy - Congrat! Another June BFP! Hope I am next!

 

[28329]

Congratulations Mandy. These thread really is on fire!

Hiya, you're two days ahead of me in the two week wait when are you planning to test? I'm going to hold out til maybe 25th June since I don't really know when I should be testing! OV came earlier for me than it usually does so I don't know when is best for testing!

Fingers crossed

Lou

 

[BeverleyLN]

Congrats Mandy!!! I think this thread has the most BFPs around!

Sending out to the 2WW ladies and ladies waiting to OV let's get some more BFPs in!!

 

[snowflakes120]

Congrats to you Mandy!! Wonderful news!!

 

[Jessica28]

A big congrats to another BFP!

 

[mammaspath]

congrats Mandy!!! - happy nine months!!!!

bambam - when are you testing?

 

[Soccergurl3]

Question: My husband asked me last night if it was ok to do other "things" on the days that we weren't trying for a baby. Are we able to do that, or does it completely defeat the purpose of the SMEP method because then his sperm wouldn't be able to build up?

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

AF is due on 6/19 so I am going to wait it out and see if she comes. If not, then I am testing that day. I usually don't get sensitive nipples this early on so I am hoping it's a good sign. I don't feel very optimistic though.

 

[Bride2b]

May I so hope this is your month, cramping and sensitive nipples are good - but I dont want to start getting your hopes up, as there is nothing worse than having your hopes dashed! I cant believe you are in the tww already! I'm sure it hasnt gone that quick for you!

Mandy congrats - 1st month of smep yikes!!! H&H 9 months!

Lisa welcome back from your hollibobs, hope this break has revived you in terms of ttc! FX for you too this month!

Soccer - if he 'ejaculates' it will defeat the object and the point is not to use the sperm every other day. Hope that helps!

AFM - off to the gym for the first time since I've found out i'm preggers (feel a bit nervous....but gonna take it easier than usual) doing a bit of excerise is better than nothing! I've only gotta hide this for 6-7 weeks more then I can have a reason for taking it easy!!

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies!! Everytime I stop by theres another BFP! Awesome. I am glad to see everyone is doing good!! I've been on vacation for the past couple of days so once again I have to play catch up. Decided not to SMEP, temp or use OPKs...I guess I am NTNP...

 

[Jessica28]

Gemma - We are waiting until at least 12 weeks before telling anyone. Going to be hard to hide it with lots of celebrations coming up! I don't want to wish my time away, but I can't wait until the 12 week mark...I will be more reassured then.
