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

[BamBamsMaMa]

Jaime - I noticed the temp drop this morning too and I wondered the same... maybe I am O-ing today or last night? Either way, we BD'ed last night and the day before. I hope that's enough. Will try to get one more in tonight!

Kristina - No AF might be a good sign! I have read on the TWW sites that some people don't get their BFPs days after their missed AF. What DPD are you today? You didn't temp or use OPK this cycle, right? Is it possible you O-ed later than usual?

Gemma - Exercise, sex and a good massage always brings AF for me. Hope you get AF soon.

May you had a hugh jump today!! I really hope you caught that eggy!

I didnt temp this cycle but I tested again this moring and BFN, I am so flipping irritated!! I am like 20 DPO...ugh. All I can do is wait. This cycle is just a bust, hopefully the RE will offer some help...

 

[jrowenj]

Holy spike, may!!!

Krystina, wtf?! Where is that bitch?!

 

[snowflakes120]

Krystina - Ugh. Where is AF or the BFP. I hate limbo land. I have it every stupid month with the dumb progesterone. I hate it.

Gemma - Hope AF comes soon for you so you can get TTC again!

May - Awesome raise huns. And your BDing looks to be spot on! FX for you huns. Welcome to 2ww with me!

I am sooooo bored in TWW and only 5dpo. BC of the all natural cycle I have no clue when to expect AF - as my LP used to be 13 days before the MC but then after went to 11 days so I guess somewhere between there she'll pop in. I figure if nothing by 8/22 - I'll test but I am not really all that hopeful to tell ya the truth. Had some twinges yesterday but figure it's prolly just the cyst as it's too early to really mean anything at all. Other than that 0 symptoms. Boooo.

Who's up to test next? I feel like we are missing updates from some of the girls that are still TTC... Check in soon ladies!!

 

[krystinab]

Lisa limbo really sucks. I have prometrium but it messes with my vision so I dont take it...figure I will just wait it out...ugh! Girl I really hope this is your month. Did the RE give you the option of all the medication w/o the IUI? Just not sure if DH will be willing to nut in a cup on demand...LOL

I am so mad atm. I don't have a background in French (was never offered when I was in school) and now I am expected to teach it in September. I was supposed to go to St. Pierre (a part of France just off the coast of Newfoundland) for a 5 day session but you were expected to speak all French and participate in all French related activities. It was more for practising your French than actually learning anything so I cancelled. Of course I am out $300. So anyway, instead, I looked up a tutor online who is willing to help me get to where I need to be to start in September and OH is just crazy about it so we just had a huge fight. Oh....I have been sitting on my ass all Summer and I don't clean the house or anything...now I don't know if he thinks theres a little fairy that swings by every day to clean dishes, sweep floors, do laundry and cook supper or what but it gets done. In the meantime....I am exhausted ALL the time and yet I still find the time....now sometimes it is uptidy but never dirty...so I am pissed. Oh...and who cleans the bathroom top to bottom so he can wash his f'ing ass in a clean god damn shower. I cried and everything I am so rotted. I am now trying to arrange for a ride out of town on Friday so I can get started on the frigging French. A university course takes 4 months and I have a couple weeks.... oh but I am always complaining. Well, I just told him off..... and now I am sitting on my FAT ass again rather than cleaning the house...and now I am going to a friends house.... he can clean it himself today. I have had enough.

Sorry for the vent guys....

Hey, sorry I've been MIA last few days. I went camping Fri -Sunday. I should be in the TWW but my OPK never arrived and as I was going camping figured I probably missed my surge and didn't want to POAS in the middle of the woods. Guess when they arrive I will keep them for next month if I don't get my BFP this month. We've been beding like rabbits so I hope I caught the egg. I've been feeling pretty good recently but today at lunch another girl who just got back from maternity leave says she's pregnant. She then says I thought it may take a while but it happens quicker than I thought...Lucky bitch. Last week there's emails at work announcing girls from the office had their babies with baby pictures and around the office it seems everyone's pregnant. I went camping with 2. Pregnant friends this weekend too. I'm cursed. Sorry for the rant.

May and Lisa, glad I'm in the TWW with you. We can go crazy together.

Jess, congrats on the ultrasound, love the pic.

Jamie, hope your having a good vacation.

Gemma, you were such a beautiful bride, love the pictures. I really hope your AF is here soon. Maya's strategy sounds good, it may just bring AF sooner.

Sorry if I've missed someone, I need to go back and catch up.

 

[armymama2012]

I am next to test I think! I am testing on Wednesday and if BFN then on Saturday too. AF is due Wednesday but I hasvent had any major signs that she will be here. I am 60% sure I am pregnant.

[jrowenj]

we neeeeed some BFP's!! No pressure, ladies!!!!!

Good luck Lisa, Janettte and Army!!! Krystina... i am still crossing fingers for you

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

More proof that my body hates me. There I am thinking I O'ed two days ago because of my temp rise yesterday. We didn't BD last night. This morning my temp dropped again!!! So I didn't O yet???? I am confused!!!! Wtf???? Now what???!?!?

 

[snowflakes120]

You OV'd May. You are just having an extra estrogen surge. Estrogen is what causes your temp to go down - Progesterone causes it to go up. Completely normal. I usually have a dip somewhere around 1-3dpo. Your raise lines up with your + OPK too. I bet it will go back up tomorrow. Don't fret!

Army - Hooray! 60% is great! What PG symptoms are you having?

Sunny - Yea for 2ww!! Do you have any idea how many dpo you are or when you plan to test? I totally can relate wayyyy to well about others being PG and getting it right away. Ugh. It's so hard somedays. I totally understand.

Jess - Hope things calmed down around your house and hope you got a ride into town to learn French.

Krystina - Did you test again today? I def plan on doing the IUI with the meds because of my lack of CM. By doing the IUI it bypasses my absent CM and gets the swimmers right into the uterus. That is why she is recommending the IUI because I get barely any fertile CM around OV. It would be a complete waste of time, drugs, and money to just do timed intercourse with me.

Not much going on with me. Going out for wings tonight with friends. Yummm-o!!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Lisa - does it mean I lack progesterone? Should I worry that I might not have O'ed?

 

[snowflakes120]

Lisa - does it mean I lack progesterone? Should I worry that I might not have O'ed?

No, it doesn't mean you lack Progesterone. It is normal. You still do produce estrogen in your LP - it just is mainly producing Progesterone. It happens to alot of girls. I remember reading about it in the Taking Charge of your Fertility book I have. I am sure if you do a google search for "secondary estrogen surge" or "fallback rise" you will some more info on it. I know I did a search for it at one time.
FF says "Fallback rise: A normal ovulation pattern when your temperature rises then drops slightly immediately after ovulation and then rises again."

 

[krystinab]

Lisa thats intresting! I hope you had a good time with your friends...I wings!!

Army I hope you get the BFPs started!! FX lady!

Sunny keep your head up! You will be pregnant soon!!

Jess sorry youre stressed out. I hope today is better. I think sometimes men dont understand that not only your belly is growing but emotionally you are changing too! I hope you are having a better day today!

May no honey my body hates ME!! LOL I think you are just fine, seems like what Dr. Lisa said makes perfect sense to me...I've seen plently of BFP charts with that dip a few days past O...you should be able to search for charts similar to yours on FF..

AFM, ugh!! Nothing, no cramps, BFN, (I used my last test this morning, so there will be no more testing this cycle) and no spotting. Just playing the wating game...last month my cycle was 39 days, I am on CD36 today so hopefully it will be here soon...

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Ok so am I at 2 DPO then?

 

[armymama2012]

Well I am going to test tomorrow but I took an OPK today for kicks and it's positive.

 

[Sunny skies]

Lisa, I should be about 3 DPO. AF is due on the 24 th so I'm going to try and hold out until then. Every time I think I'm ok with not being pregnant yet, somebody at work or someone that I know announces they're pregnant and the feelings take over again. People really can be insensitive, even when they know your situation.

May, you've been doing all you can do, I agree that you probably did ovulate already but maybe bed every other day this week so you can feel you've covered all your bases just in case.

Kristina, so sorry AF is playing tricks on you.

Army, nice to hear you being so positive. I'm feeling good about this month too but I'll have to wait and see.

 

[Sunny skies]

Army, just noticed your post, hope that positive OPK turns into a BFP tomorrow. How exciting, my fingers are crossed for you.

 

[krystinab]

YAYYYY ARMY I hope you get us started with BFP!!

Lets go Suny your right after Army!

Lisa & May yall coming up too

AFM, she's here, well I am spotting. Lisa do you consider spotting as CD1? I am going to start the clomind on CD3 just dont want to take it too soon or too late.
