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

[Bride2b]

Hi Ladies....hoping I can join you all too...I have 2 children from a previous marriage (6 and 4 yrs). I went off BC November 2011, and got pregnant in March. We lost our baby boy at 18 weeks, and they can not tell us why....all tests show a healthy boy Had a chemical pregnancy last cycle, and I am currently waiting to O, but am unsure if the CP will mess things up for this cycle....I should O on the 17th....just waiting for that happy face on my OPK....this will be our first time trying SMEP, but I think we did it last cycle, accidentally. Trying not to be down about the first miscarriage still....his due date is fast approaching, and I am thinking about him a lot....

Good luck to everyone! Heres to sticky beans!!

Hi Dove, I've not been around here in a while but thought I would welcome you into the mad world of SMEP and these girls.

I am sorry to hear of your losses. I too lost my first baby last November at 19 +3 can safely say the pain of that loss doesnt go away easily, I would think the first year is probably the worse & until you get a rainbow it will be difficult. I then lost my second due to an ectopic pregnancy.

I would say if you are going to O on the 17th you need to hit the sack tonight and get some little soldiers in there ready and waiting for some action xxx

Ameronica, welcome to the TWW.

Lisa, yah to no ms, hope you feel this good the rest of your pregnancy.

Hayley, can't believe another SMEP baby has almost arrived. Enjoy the relax time.

Praying I'll have good news tomorrow. I'll be 12 DPO.

Thank you. I can't help but see that we have both had an ectopic and both left tube removed. Glad to see a fellow single tube lady in the SMEP board

Lets hope SMEP, increases our already lower chances.

Gemma, so glad your still checking in. We're both close in our cycle. Hope we both get our BFP's this cycle. Are you using SMEP or just taking the relaxed approach?

Welcome dove, sorry about your losses. Hope SMEP works for you.

 

[Sunny skies]

Good morning ladies, well I tested this morning and BFN. Looks like I'll be drinking in Las Vegas after all.

Hope our other testers have better news.

 

[snowflakes120]

Welcome Dove! Sorry for your losses!

Great to hear from you Gemma! You busy busy bee you!! Yea for 2ww!! Hope this is it for you!!

Bummer Sunny! Hugs girl! But I have heard of lots of ladies getting lucky with a BFP after they went to Las Vegas! A girl on another board was getting ready to do IUI with Injectibles but came back from LV with her BFP!! Good luck!!

 

[krystinab]

So you know even though I was taking a BNB break for a while I just have to snoop. Gemma I am soo happy you are back! How is everything going? I really miss seeing you on here.

Sunny, sorry about the BFN. You should have a great time in Las Vegas. Party for me girl!

Dove sorry about your losses. Hopefully this will be your month.

Lisa, your lil bean is adorable. You know I am just over the moon for you!

Ameronica, fx for you!

Haydie, you are about to see your baby in a matter of a few days! I know you are so excited.

AFM, AF came yesterday, right on time. Now I am sitting at my cube with my heating pad. I did start the Fertile Tea which isnt too bad. UGH, on the the next one....

 

[threemakefive]

Krystina so glad you stopped in,,...its too quiet without you doing clomid agian this cycle?

Gemma glad to hear from you too!! Hope this is your month girl!!

 

[armymama2012]

Sorry to here AF got you Krystina but I hope this next cycle is the one!

Sunny, dont get too wild! We still want a BFP!

Lisa, any symptoms yet?

AFM-Still fighting headaches and MS basically every 2 hours. Not sleeping well either. Well I'm supposed to get some Imodium tablets today and take them for 3 days and if my diarrhea doesn't go away they will make an appointment because by then I will probably be dehydrated and not able to regain the fluids I have lost.

We gave our landlord a notice saying we will be out of the house by December 1st. He said that people will want to walk through it. I was like "okay, they can come in November when its mostly packed up". Nope, we have a lady coming straight after my registration appointment! ack... so now I have to clean and organize the stuff we are still using!

 

[snowflakes120]

Yeahhhhh! Krystina is back! Missed you girl!

What did your RE say??!! Did she agree to more Clomid cycles?? What is your plan of action??

I totally used a heating pad everyday from AF - OV. My Accupuncturist told me it helps to bring blood flow to the Ute! You should totally do it. I would do like 30 min on then 30 min off while I watched TV at night. I found it so relaxing too!

 

[snowflakes120]

Nope, not many symptoms still Army. I feel wonderful! My mom told me she didn't have much nausea and def no MS at all for all 3 of us - she said my Aunt's were the same way with all their kids to - so maybe it's hereditary! My boobs are sore and I have been down right exhausted at night and as of right now TMI I'm pretty backed up... Last night everything smelled bad to me: the meat smelled rotten but hubby said was fine. The laundry room smelled like pee for some reason - hubby said it was fine. I'm pretty badly bloated - my pants aren't buttoned today. Eeekkk! But that's about it for me. Some symptoms come and go - like back ache, some twinges, boobs feeling weird and very very very slight sicky feeling that doesn't last more than like 10 min every few days or so and is prolly attributed to my prenatals... I go to my new OBGYN on Friday as my RE released me after the HB. So I am excited for all that jazz coming up.

Hope the Immodium works for you and you feel better soon!

Awww I miss you too! Well we are going to go for the injuections in January. I am going to go completly natural until then. My nurse is going to get me the injectibles for free (thank God) so I will just have to come up wiht the $500 per monitoring session...I just pray that I am pregnant before then so the money can go towards my son *Im claiming a boy* instead of going towards getting pregnant!

I got super sick during all of my pregnancies, and it was, for the most part, the prenatals....I feel for you...

Hey girls, do I have anything to worry about? I am supposed to O today at CD 20. However, my OPKs are still light and negative, very unusual. I didn't use OPKs until CD 17 this cycle so I am wondering if I missed it? I have never O'ed before CD 19. Also I had that mid-cycle bleeding and whacked out acupuncture last month, I wonder if it messed anything up in my body? I am taking Ferilaid as well. Any ideas?

DH and I have also decided to switch insurance come open season in Nov in case we need fertility treatments. It's such a pain to go through all the plans and premiums. Any of you know of a plan that covers IUI and/or IVF?

Gemma - glad to have you back!

Kristina - missed you, girl!! Sorry about AF. You have such a good attitude about what you are going to do for the next few months. Wishing you lots of luck and that you would be able to do it naturally.

Sunny - Have fun in Vegas! Forget about AF and drink away! I am also going to Vegas in Nov for my birthday! Can't wait!!!

Hayley - just a few more days and we'll have anoter SMEP baby!!!! So excited for you!

Lisa - Hi!!!!!

Lisa - Hi!!!!!

May I really think you could have missed your surge since you started testing so late in your cycle. I hear that FertileAid is supposed to make you have a "normal" cycle meaning you may have Od around cd14. Have you been bd'ing every other day? If so I think you will have a good chance of catching that egg. Have you had any spotting this cycle?

I had my usual before O spotting around CD 13-16. We have only started BDing CD 11 every 3 days to refresh DH's sperm. My temp chart doesn't show a distinctive pattern for O yet so I hope I will still have a chance this month.

 

[Kdk24]

Lovely ladies...

Krystina - Im so lad you stopped by! I also started cd1 yesterday! Yay new cycle for us! We will get pregnant! I can feel it!
Gemma - glad too see you on her again! Hope this is thee cycle you get your BFP! What cd are you on?
Dove - welcome! So sorry for your losses! You've come to the right place! This group of ladies is wonderful and super supportive!
Sunny - sorry about your BFN! Enjoy Vegas! I did so much bd'ing while I was there, you're gonna have a blast!
Ameronica - I'm praying this is your cycle girl!
Haydie - it's so close to baby time! Have you started nesting?
Army - sorry about the ms! Look at it this way, at least you know baby is in there!
Lisa - glad you're feeling so good! Lucky duck!

Afm- cd2... Nothing exciting here!

 

[krystinab]

May I just looked at your chart and I think you are right in saying you havent O'd yet. Hopefully you will get that +opk here soon.

KD, looks like me and you are cycle buddies. Around which day do you usually O? I really hope your feeling is right and we get thos BFP.

 

[snowflakes120]

Krystina - Good deal about free meds! That is really freaking awesome. January is right around the corner - hope that you don't need to do the injectibles and get PG straight away! I hear ya about how expensive the U/S's are at the RE office. Highway robbery!

May - I don't think you've OV already. Your temps are where they usually are pre-OV. But you might be gearing up soon with your temp drop today! I know that certain plans with Aetna & BCBS here in NC cover IF. I don't have either...

KDK - Boo for cd2! But yea for OV coming up soon!

Dove - I just need to switch it up and start taking them at night before bed and I know I will feel great!

I usually O around cd15... But haven't been charting or using opk's the last 2 cycles. It stresses me out and my work schedule has been all over the place. I'm gonna start temping tomorrow and see if I can keep it up. Which do you use?

OPKs temping drives me nuts. I usually O around cd15 myself. We are on the same scheduler for real!

 

[Ameronica]

This is only my second month using OPKs so I dont have a complete O pattern yet. I O'd CD16 last cycle and got AF 14 days after that, so im going by my LP being 14 days so since I O'd CD 15 this month I should get AF on the 28 if she is coming. So its earlier than I was going to test before, but we will see what happens!

I am 2DPO today. Unfortunately DH and I were not able to BD yesterday like I wanted, so hopefully we got in good BD time.

We BD'd CD:
6,7,8,10,12,14 and 15 with a + OPK on CD14 and assumed O from OPK CD15
What do you ladies think?? I am disappointed we couldnt on CD16..I hope it doesn't hurt our chances
