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

[Sunny skies]

Amy - I'm Lisa. No orange for me.

May - Sounds like a really good symptom!! Hugs about your cousin. I know the feeling. Did you hubby do his SA? FX about the fall back rise!

Sunny - I'm prolly gonna test next Wed. - I would be considered "late" at 14dpo. We'll see. What about you?

Krystina - Have you had your Clomid re-filled yet?

I'm sooo bored. I can't wait for the weekend. Friends having a big party tonight with a S'mores bar. Yummmy! I guess I will have to cheat on the no-dairy diet and have some chocolate! Then tomorrow is Acupuncture and going out on the boat! Fun! Sunday is going to have to be a relaxing day. Anyone else have any fun plans?

I want to wait until the 24th but I may test 1 or 2 days sooner as I finally got all my cheap OPK and HPT 's. I just hate seeing the BFN. Today I'm feeling super bloated but I guess that's common just before AF too.

May, hope your AF doesn't come and instead you get your BFP before the trip.

I'm having some friends over tomorrow to hang out in the backyard for a BBQ to enjoy the rest of the good weather before summer is gone again. Lisa your plans sound like more fun... Yummy I love smores.

Krystina - No more limbo land for you! Fresh new cycle here you come!

Red - Congrats!! Great news!!

May - Chart is looking mighty nice girl!

Amy - Nice scan. Sorry I don't know anything about the skull theory...

Army - Hooray for OV! Hope you caught that eggy!

Gemma - Any more signs of AF?

Not much going on. 8dpo. Zero symptoms. Eh. I should know for sure in a week. I hate waiting! I just really hope that the cyst resolves itself. Because I will be way more upset with that then a BFN.

I've been lurking, just trying to catch up with last few days.....looks like congrats is in order redsocks - well done hunny xxx

No AF for me yet WTF?

Just going to read what I've missed x

Sorry about AF, I waited 6 weeks for mine after surgery and I was so upset feeling my body wasn't healing but it will happen I've heard up to 3 months is normal but I sure hope you don't have to wait that long. How are your stitches? My scar still gets very itchy at times.

Hi Girls!!!

Red congrats! Fantastic news take care of yourself and H&H for the next 9 months x

I've FINALLY updated our first page but if I've missed Ny newbies out let me know!

So finally moved out and looks like (hopefully) we'll be in something new in a few weeks meanwhile we've taken over my inlaws third floor, my midwife app showed low iron levels so I'm on iron tablets and she's booked me for a growth scan too....so it's rest and relaxation till baby arrives for me my mum sis and mother and sister in law have offered to move me into our new home so I haven't got to worry about that.

Quite excited right now we're waiting for my father in laws palomino to give birth looks like it definitely going to be tonight!!! Yay!!!

Hi can I join? I've been following smep this month for the first time. We're trying for our first and its our second cycle. I'm 9dpo tomorrow.

 

[threemakefive]

Welcome!! Good luck!!

 

[poppy13]

So far I've had a few symptoms but the stand out ones are dizziness 3 times over 3 days, tiredness to the point where I've slept for at least 9hrs the last 4 nights and had a nap for 1&half hours this afternoon & cramping really low down since 5dpo plus tender bbs but nips are sore when I poke them. This is our first cycle with opks so really hoping smep works for us.
So lovely to see some bfps!!

[Jessica28]

Welcome Poppy! SMEP seems to work well for us... good luck, I am sure you will be preggo in no time at all!

 

[BeverleyLN]

OMG the palomino just had her foal its so cute!! Late here but looks like a palomino x

 

[mammaspath]

Sorry lisa.......i keep getting you and jess names mixed up....

Welcome poppy

 

[alleysm]

I need some guidance with opks.. all of them are stark white but have a control line. Im cd15 today and usually ovulate between 12 and 16 according to my bbt. Does the blaring white opks mean im really not ovulating?

 

[threemakefive]

Alley sometimes opk don't work for everyone...I know mine never gave me Dark pos ever like they said...also u holding pee few hrs with no drinks?

 

[alleysm]

Holding the pee and testing same times.. maybe a bad batch of opks. Also tried to find my cervix.. the vagina has weird walls btw.. not sure what i was probing for really but i did feel something different once i was up to my elbow in vagina walls. I think ill pass on the self cervix checks thank you very much .. lol

Alley, that is so funny. Sorry about the OPKs. I'll be started that adventure next cycle if I don't get my BFP. Maybe it was a bad batch. I never know what I'm searching for when I try to check my cervix either.. Lol. Good luck

Welcome Poppy

 

[alleysm]

Ok ladies need some help .. dr google has zero insight... yesterday cd 15 bbt dip and negative opk. Today cd16 temp spike! And positive opk!! WTF?? How can i have a positive opk after a temp dip/rise? Same batch of opks... so what does this mean? Ugh i have a migraine..

 

[threemakefive]

Id say it means bd tonight tomorrow and skip a day then one last go..or if u arent sure about o just keep going every other day lol Thats all i got...i never did temping

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Alley - it's completely ok to have a positive OPK the day of a temp rise. Ovulation does not occur until 12-48 hours after the initial LH surge (positive OPK). You should see a temp dip tomorrow or the day after to confirm ovulation. Hurry and go get some booty!!!

 

[alleysm]

I text my dh letting him know i need his sperms!!

Alley - Hope you got your man into bed.

Poppy - When are you testing again?

May - Chart is really looking good.

Gemma - Really hoping for AF to come on for you! It'll prolly be the only time you want her right??!!

Amy - It's all good. It's hard to keep track of everyone!

Emily - I think it's gender scan week??!!

Bev - Great news about the fowl! I bet it's really cute!! Is he/she standing already??

Sunny - Any symptoms yet?

Thinking of you Krystina!

AFM, we went and hung out with friends this afternoon that have a 9 month old little girl. It was great holding and playing with her. Just further confirms my feeling that I want to be a mother so bad. It also lets me know that we will do anything to make it happen as well. Overall great weekend. The S'more bar was a hit and we had loads of fun on the boat as always.
AF potentially due tomorrow. Guess we'll wait and see if she shows. Acupuncture went great as well. She gave me some Traditional Chinese Medicine to use once AF arrives. It's called Jia Wei Xiao Yao San (Modified Free Wanderer). So I guess we'll see how it goes. It has the Dong Quai that I think you use/used May!!
