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

[Sunny skies]

Hey girls. I live a few miles from the shore and we got demolished. Pretty devastating. My house is still standing so I suppose I should be grateful for that and our safety. Will be without power for the next week possibly. Can only charge my phone in the car so will be updating less frequently

I'm so sorry for all you've been through and glad your ok. Hope you get power soon and the clean up goes quickly.

May and Tasha, hope AF stays away and you both get BFP's.

Beverly, hope Sophis and your mom are ok. Your an amazing daughter for supporting your mother that way.

Krystina, hope you recover from all that bding. It will be worth it when you get your BFP this cycle. FXd for you.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

AFM, still no positive OPK hopefully I'll get it tomorrow, not worried about the bding as I'm sure I'll get lots of it in Vegas. Can't wait 2 more sleeps.

Hi Girls, Thanks for the welcome...seems like a very friendly thread

Will be trying SMEP in a few days and I'm a bit nervous...I mean how do you get in the mood for all of those days!!!? Or do you just act like a robot a few times?!

Anyone get a BFP using SMEP and CBFM?

Hope you guys in US are ok xxxx

Jamie I am sorry to hear that, but like you said earlier you do have a house. Ive been looking a picks from NJ and people litterally dont have a home anymore. Count yourself lucky! Did yall flood? Can you move Thanksgiving to your parents or someting? I am so glad you and your family is ok! I would be so hurt is something bad happened to one my my fav SMEP girls...I would go smak that bitch sandy (prob get swept up and spit out) but I still would nonetheless

Spacegirl I usually get all sexy to get myself excited a lot of lingerie and liquor...LOL The first month is the hardest once you get into the swing of thinkgs you will want to have sex ...when do you usally O?

Sunny, yaaaah Vegas is right around the corner!! I know plenty of babies are concieved in Vegas!

Tasha, how are you doing chika?

AFM, I am sick as a dog, got a sore throat at home today, but still working...BOOOOO

 

[Kdk24]

Ugh!!! Tested with both an hpt and opk this morning and negative on both! Tested with opk around 2pm and it was positive?!?! This is super annoying!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Just wanted to quickly pop in and say I tested today at 11 DPO and bfn. No surprise. I am down in the slums. Would have thought I would be preggo by now. I am gutted. I will be going to Vegas this Sunday and maybe forget about TTC for a little bit. Will be lurking. Talk to you all soon.

 

[armymama2012]

Have fun May and relax!

 

[BeverleyLN]

Jaime happy you are ok! you'll get there with the renovations don't worry

Testers it's still early!!!

Krystina hope you feel better

Spacegirl my smep turned into bd for 4 days straight due to early ov but it worked!

The house is like 40 mins from my inlaws so not too far

Hey girls!!!!

Jaimie!!! WOW!! I'm so sorry to hear about about the demolition!! I kind of know what it's like to be dispossessed of your house for a while (but from a kid's point of view, not with all the responsibility!) My parent's house was flooded when I was a kid and we got 7 feet of water in our basement...and everything is in the basement (heating, electricity, etc.). It was a mess!! All the best to you!

Spacegirl: I literally laughed so hard when I read your post!! I know this is TMI , but when I was looking at the SMEP wondering if I should do it, I was like: "Yann (my DH), how are we going to abstain all of this time??" To be completely honest, we cheated a few times! But we're still kind of newlyweds I guess (15 months or so), that's my excuse!

Krys: Get some rest and lots of liquids!! Get better!

May: Take it easy!! Have a GREAT trip!! And enjoy yourself!

AFM: I am so flaming angry right now!! I'm spotting since this morning. And I HATE spotting. Maybe you girls can tell me what you think about this: I NEVER EVER spotted before my m/c in mid-July. EVER. When I got my period, it was like the heavens would let loose! I would bleed so much that it's happened it would drip down my legs and onto the floor! So embarassing! But ever since my m/c, I spot. And I've heard that means that your estrogen/progesterone levels are imbalanced and that you can't conceive like that. I really don't mean to sound ungrateful or annoying to anyone , but I got pregnant on my 2nd month of not avoiding the first time. And now it's been 4 months since the m/c and nothing. And my family is so fertile that I feel pressured. Everyone looks at me with those "are you pregnant yet eyes". My mom has 8 kids (we were all surprises...or accidents if you like to call it that way...except my twin sister and I. When my parents didn't try to avoid, they got twins!) and never experienced a miscarriage, and my aunt (who is a MD) just said in passing the other day that women are more fertile after m/c's. I couldn't help but feel hurt. She's not always the most sensitive. Oh well. What I really want to know is what you ladies think about this spotting business. Do you think this is my new "normal"? Maybe I'm not conceiving because I'm too stressed with school right now and stress isn't good??

Sorry for how long this is and thanks for reading!

All the best to you ladies!!!

 

[armymama2012]

I am proof you can still get pregnant like that. Yeah I still got AF the months I wasnt pregnant but I would spot for 1 day before and 2 days after AF. Then BAM in September I started cramping 8 days before AF was due and got a faint positive at 9 dpo!

All the best to you ladies!!!

I also had my miscarriage in July (at 18 weeks, on the 5th), and let me tell you that MY periods haven't been the same since then. I know exactly what you mean about the heavens opening up, mine is disgusting, and awful and usually 8 or 9 days long, and it only lightens up after the 6th day.....YUCK! I don't know how far along you were, and I thought that because I was quite far along, that maybe that's why my cycles were messed up, but since then they've been 4 days long, and nothing in comparison to how it was for my entire life. I only get 1 heavy day,and it's about half as heavy as before, and it tapers off from there. I know that this probably doesn't help you at all, but I wanted you to know that there is someone that was in the same boat as you. I had a Chemical last cycle, and just got a BFP 3 days ago, so it's still early to tell, but I'm hoping this is my sticky bean If you're worried though, I'd go to the doctor and have them test you. I absolutely know how frustrated you are, I'm so sorry. Good Luck

 

[threemakefive]

Tasha I had spotting in the first few months after as well and even one month my cycle was 9 weeks long uggggh....give it time and I bet your body will adjust!

 

[Kdk24]

Spacegirl... I usually send OH dirty text throughout the day(tmi). It seems to work for us!
Krystina... How are you feeling?
Tasha... All good things taking time. I know thats not exactly what you want to hear, but think of how rewarding it will be when you are preggos! I'll keep you in my thoughts!

 

[krystinab]

Happy Friday Ladies!!

KD- sorry about all the confusion? I thought you were early in your 2ww...waay to early for a HPT.

Tasha- girl I know how it feels to have your family looking at you with those "are you pregnant eyes" that shit irks the hell out of me. As for the spotting, I spotted a few cycles after my mmc but eventually my cycle normalized. Did you happen to get a D&C?

May- ugh a BFN really sucks but Vegas is AWESOME!! You are going to have a great time. A little fun is just what you need. Keep your head up chika!

Jamie- do you have an update? How are you doing hon?

Lisa- whats going on chika?

AFM, I am feeling a lot better today. I am in the office As for the TWW I am just chillin...I am calm...it either happened or it didnt...I did my part! Anyway you ladies have a great weekend!

 

[Tasha S.]

You're the best girls!! Thanks for your support!

Army: Thanks for what you said! How many months did you spot for before getting your BFP??

Thanks Kdk24 and Threemakefive!

Krys: I got my FX's for you!!! You're job is done!! Let's see what providence brings! And no, I never got a D&C, so I thought it wouldn't take too long for my cycle to normalize itself?

Dove: I am honestly so happy you got your BFP this month, you so deserve it!! I had an early m/c, I was only 7.5 weeks along.

AFM: AF it is ladies! I'm still spotting but I feel uber yucky, so I know this is it. I actually FINALLY decided to call my family doctor today. lol. I never went to get a check-up since the m/c. I'm thinking my hormones might be really crazy right now because I'm losing so much hair. I have had alopecia areata as a teen (in other words, I had balding problems), so I'm not sure if it's another bout of that, or if it's a hormonal imbalance. So a check-up is in order! I don't exactly feel like balding again!

 

[armymama2012]

It was 6 months (I know, no one wants to wait that long) from my miscarriage to my BFP. Hope it is shorter for you!

Thanks Army!! Well it's already been 4, 2 more doesn't sound too daunting at this point! Thanks so much!

 

[Tasha S.]

Ladies!!!

This month, I've decided not to do SMEP (lol). I really don't like holding my urine with the OPK! My mom is a huge believer in apple-cider-vinegar and told me to research it, and I have. Girls, it looks like a really good fertility aider! I'm going to try it this month, and I'll keep you all posted, but I thought I just wanted to share this as others might want to try too (you can add it to SMEP!). It tastes absolutely disgusting (I think anyways!), but I think it might be worth it!

Check out this link and all the testimonials! It looks really promising!

YAY!!! I just had my first dose of it in hot water with some honey! I really dislike the taste so instead I'm going to do a shot glass! Let me know if you find a more pleasurable way of taking it. I'm so sure this will help you!!

My 26 week scan...hope it works!
