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

[krystinab]

Welcome new ladies!

Hayddie that good you want to give Sawyer as much time as possible to develop!

Alley you are crazy! Lol. Make that baby girl!

I just looked on the FR website and there is only a 68% chance I'd get a positive at 10dpo or 6 days before AF so I am really going to wait until Friday!

 

[jrowenj]

Hey! Sorry I have been so damn busy!!!

Lisa - don't be nervous!!! (easier said than done) I was SWEATING at my 8 week ultrasound waiting for that little heartbeat to confirm!

Jannette - Sorry the TWW is getting you down. You will catch that egg, I promise!!!!!

Haley - Glad the butt swab test wasn't so bad!!!!

Where is May??

AFM - had my glucose test today. Hope I passed! Also wondering if I will be getting any ultrasounds before the baby comes... i really hope so! Still fighting off this damn HEMI hahahahah

 

[Ameronica]

Thank you for all of the welcome wishes! I really hope SMEP works for us
DH is loving this TTC stuff. Lots of sexytime! LOL!

After my ectopic my remaining tube got cleared so I should be good to go with that. I would love a July baby I hope this is my month!

Where is May??

I am here lurking!! Thanks for asking, Jaime! How's the nursery and renovations coming along?

I have been keeping myself busy. We went away last weekend to a wedding in Vernon, NJ and stayed at this really nice resort spa. Now I am getting back into the daily grind. I just heard from my gyno with my blood test and ultrasound results. Everything is a-ok. She said everything is "normal "but I am going to get a copy of the report from her so I can have you all help me analyze my numbers. I am just glad my hormones and thyroid numbers are ok. I have another appointment with her this Friday to see what the next step is. She wants me to do a HSG to narrow down all the possibilities of why we are still not preggo yet. The pressure in my lower left side still has not subsided and it's actually getting a bit more painful. I am guessing it has to do with some GI tract (intestinal, colon, etc.) issues. I have been very gassy, bloated and constipated. My gyno's husband happens to be a GI specialist so I might ask her for a referral.

I am in limbo waiting for O. Have another week to go. In the meantime, hubby and I are trying Fertilaid and BD'ing 2-3x a week to see if it will help produce more swimmers. I am O-ing next Tuesday, who will be my TWW buddy this cycle?

Kristina - hope you get your BFP this Friday!

Amy - your baby bump is soooo cute! Totally jealous!

Lisa - how are you feeling? Can't wait to hear all about your next appt.

Haley - Anxiously waiting for the arrival of your honeydew!

Alley - I heard dusty eggs make brilliant babies... Just saying!

Welcome to all the newcomers!! This is the best thread and the girls here are all so supportive.

[jrowenj]

May - so happy your appt went so well!!

 

[snowflakes120]

Welcome new comers! So happy to have y'all!!

May - Yeah for being normal! Hehe!

Krystina - Wait it out girl! Hopefully we will both get good news on Friday!

Jaime - Hope you passed!

Danielle - Good luck with Beta! I had a few done, it really helped to put my mind at ease!

Alley - Yeah girl! Go get 'em!

Hayley - Hope Sawyer comes soon!

Gemma & Joanna - Thinking of you girls! Hope you come back soon!

Heylo to all I may have forgotten!

Not much going on with me. I feel great. Blueberry today! Don't even feel pregnant which is a bit unnerving. I forget a lot that I even am. I can't wait to know either way - whether it is a viable PG or not so I calm some of my major anxieties. 2 days away!

 

[krystinab]

May- I am glad all of your numbers came back good. Some relaxation sounds nice, which resort did yall stay at? I am guessing you left ovary is getting ready to release that egg. I am guessing that you cant get your HSG until after AF comes.

Lisa- you are still super early in your pregnancy, so don't worry about not "feeling pregnant" you are!

Jamie, how was the glocouse test? Did you pee on yourself. LOL

AFM, my follow up appointment is in an hour... scary! Do you think they can give a blood pregnancy test at 10dpo or is it too early?

 

[threemakefive]

Danielle can't wait to see your numbers!

Krystina, always the strong one holding out til friday I hope we get great news!!! RE appt today, right? geez all the appts I can't remember for sure lol

May so glad the numbers were good!! how long have you been ttc? are you thinking about clomid or anything yet?

Lisa I cannot wait til friday!! I just know we will have great news from you!! And I recall those days of not feeling pregnant so nerveracking...hang in there!

Amy baby bump is gorgeous...mines just huge lmao

AFM sono today to check on baby...can't wait to see her!

They say 7-12 days from conception...I say ask for it if you can

 

[Jessica28]

Lisa - I am 22 weeks and sometimes I still don't feel pregnant! I am just now starting to get a proper bump I think.

May - I am so happy that all your tests came back great! I expect to be hearing good news from you before too long!!

Haley - You are so close to your due date! I wish we could decide on a name for our little bundle if it's a boy!

Jaime - You still haven't had an u/s yet?

Welcome to all the newcomers!

My ultrasound appt. keeps getting changed. It was supposed to be yesterday but they changed it to Oct. 31st when is on a Wednesday and I couldn't make it so now it is on Nov. 2nd. Feels like I have been waiting forever for it. I had another appt. today and I gained 4 lbs this time... that makes 8 lbs in total so far. I am not complaning...I just wish I could find something to eat that I could enjoy. I don't enjoy anything anymore.

 

[Jessica28]

Amy - Loving the bump and congrats on v-day!!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Ameronica - hi, Soon to be TWW buddy!

Kristina - we went to a place called Minerals Resort and Spa for the weekend. The wedding was beautiful and there were so many things to do there. You are right, Dr. Kristina... I am waiting to O and HSG will be done after my next AF. How did your appt go? What's the next step?

Jaime & Lisa - I was so glad my numbers were normal. For once I don't feel completely devastated by this whole TTC journey.

Emily - my doc won't give me any meds until I get a HSG to make sure all tubes are clear to go. I will definitely consider meds if all else is good. How's your eggplant doing?

Jessica - I am sure your papaya is doing fine. I am can't wait to hear more on your next appt!

AFM - just got back from my gyno appt. I got a copy of my blood and ultrasound results. Everything is within normal range. No cysts, no fibroids, no thyroid problems, no PCOS! I am relieved! Next step is a HSG, which I can't have till the end of the next AF. Just gearing up now for O next week!

 

[armymama2012]

I dont know if any of you TTCers will use them but here are some tips a friend gave me a while back:

1. Drinking 8-10 ounces of Whole Milk every day (especially up til ovulation). The calcium is great for fertility and supposedly the extra stuff in whole Milk makes ovulation that much stronger.

2. Drinking 6-8 ounces of grapefruit juice from the end of AF through til the TWW. The grapefruit juice is supposed to help make the vagina more alkaline which makes it more friendly towards sperm. It is also supposed to help thin out fertile CM.

3. Do it doggy style if you can! LOL Seriously, 4 of my friends conceived within 2 months of each other and they all did it doggystyle! LOL (I just went with plain missionary though).

 

[Sunny skies]

May, I was thinking about you, glad all your tests went well, now you can focus on gearing up for O next week. Glad you had a nice little getaway, I so need a vacation soon.

Can't wait to see some ultrasound pics from all you Preggo ladies.

 

[mammaspath]

jess - 8lbs......sheesh ive gain14 and its been another 4 weeks im sure im up around 20ish!

How did the rest of the appointments go today?? Krystina, did they do a test???!

How is everyone? I think these last 19 days are going to be the worst! I got checked last night, 1cm dilated and I think her checking me started some crazy contractions and pressure! I think he might be falling out of my who-ha! Is this normal?!?!

Gemma and Joanna... I miss you guys!
