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

[Sunny skies]

May, so glad your HSG showed clear tubes. Sorry about the experience though. I say go with your gut if something didn't feel right.

I guess everyone's had s busy weekend, hope everyone's doing well.

AFM, just entering week two of the TWW. Nothing to report.

 

[armymama2012]

I've been having headaches every day the past 3 days and also a lot of stretching pain. Well looks like this little one wants mommy to not gain too much weight (fine with me) because I get "the runs" every time we eat fast food. It's going to be a busy next 2 weeks since DH leaves to deploy before February and everyone wants to see him. I may be able to check in once a day or every other day.

May I'm really sorry about how the doctor man-handled you during your HSG thats not on. Did you complain? I am glad your tubes are all clear though xx

Sunny good luck for testing - what a Christmas present that will be xx

Lisa did you find out what your baby is? Or are you keeping it a secret?

AFM - af just arrived! not what I was hoping for!!

I hate AF. If it makes you feel any better we can be cycle buddies!

 

[Sunny skies]

Gemma and Krystina, so sorry about AF, I say enjoy the holidays and drink to your Geary's content and hopefully you'll get that BFP in January.

Army, sorry your not feeling well, enjoy this time with DH before he leaves.

AFM, trying not to symptom spot but can't help but think I've been feeling a bit crampy and super moody. It's too early for AF so hope it's a good sign.
Good news is that my blood work and DH's are all good, along with my ultrasound but for some reason SA results aren't in yet. Unfortunately, I need to go to another fertility centre as the one I was referred to the doctor I want doesn't work there any longer. It's not the best time anyways so I'll deal with it in the new year. Deep down I'm hoping I won't need to go.

 

[Bride2b]

I really hope you dont need to go too!!!! Come on girl I'm right behind ya!!! xx

Thanks Krystina, AF sucks big fat hairy balls doesnt it! sooo sick of seeing af now!!!!

I would enjoy it except for the yelling everyday. I feel so deflated like I do nothing right when he is around.

 

[Tasha S.]

Krys and Gemma: So sorry about AF, girls! She really does suck.

Sunny: Hang in there! 2nd week of TWW can be tough emotionally. We're here for you!

May: How are you hun??

AFM: I think I'm ovulating! CD 18 for me today. DH has a pretty high fever though ...not good for BD'ing so not too sure about this month. But exams are over and holidays have begun, that's enough for me to be thankful for!

 

[krystinab]

I feel you Gemma AF is a bitch...it's ok...our fertile time should fall around new years you know ther is always a lot of baby making during the new year celebrations...

Yaaaa Tasha!!! Make that baby girl!

Sunny praying it's you month

Amy that baby still beating you up?

Army....I really don't know what to say...keep your chin up

Alley my vbff what's up with you girl??? Where the hell are you?

Afm...right now I'm just happy...nothing really going on but I'm just in a good mood...I fee like outside of this, ttc, I'm generally a happy person but I've allowed all this stress and worry to make me different...so I decided I'm bringing the happy, grateful, positive Krystina to 2013...

 

[ProfWife]

Dec = BFN...

 

[dove830]

Here's to a New Year full of BFP's!!!!!

 

[Sunny skies]

ProfWife, sorry about the witch, I was really hoping we would have a lucky month, not feeling very hopeful.

Krystina, live your positive spirit, glad yhe old you is back and your not letting TTC let you feel down. Hope it rubs off on me.

Army, sorry about DH, hopefully the holidays will put him in better spirits.

Ladies, I need your help, please remind me why I need to hold off testing until after Christmas. I have an urge to POAS.

 

[mammaspath]

krystina - yes baby is still kicking her booty up into my ribs! and my back is killing me......i wanna be done!

I started POAS at 9 DPO, with FRER's. I got not even a hint of a line, on days 9 and 10. Then I took a clear blue digital on 11 DPO, because I just KNEW I was preggers....I think this is not the group to tell you to NOT POAS, lol....

 

[Tasha S.]

Krys! That's awesome! You go girl!!

Profwife-So sorry about AF!!! I hope you're doing alright!

Dove-How's your pregnancy going?

Amy-Hehe! You'll have stories to tell your daugher later on! What is your due date?

Sunny-I totally understand your impatience to POAS!! With your first pregnancy, did you have obvious symptoms before your got a BFP?? I think I would consider the worst case scenario (BFN) and how it would make you feel. I know sometimes I just want to test even if I don't have pregnancy symptoms just to get it out of my mind, and I feel okay afterwards. But sometimes I would feel really depressed. Usually it had to do with how I worked myself up, does that make sense? I would hate for a BFN to ruin your Christmas...but at the same time, a BFP would make it oh-so-much better!! I say go with your gut feeling! I wish you only the best, hun! Fx for you!

I second Krys: Alley, what's up girl??

AFM-Caught DH's fever, hehe! I was ready to give up for this month--I feel SO crappy! But I'm feeling a bit more positive now! I started having more CM on Tuesday, but Yann's fever was way too high, so we skipped that day. But we got the next two days in, and as of yesterday, I was still having lots of CM, so that doesn't look too bad! I FINALLY received that FertiliTea that I ordered via Fairhaven on Monday (it took 11 business days to ship, it was only supposed to take 2-6 days--but it was being shipped from the States, and it said that sometimes packages get stopped at the border--I'm in Canada). So I started taking that on Monday and I would attribute all of this CM to the tea. Honestly, I haven't had this much CM since before the miscarriage! YAY! Fx I didn't miss the egg on Tuesday!

 

[armymama2012]

YAY for lots of CM Tasha. Hope you feel better.

AFM-I am tired and my left shoulder is hurting.

 

[snowflakes120]

Just a quick check in!! Well, it's a baby boy!! We are very excited and happy!! As if yesterday couldn't get any better.... I felt 1st baby kicks last night and am still feeling them today!!

xoxo to all the SMEP ladies.

It's going so slowly...I'm 11 weeks. I think it seems really slow because I'm still so scared. It's been far too eventful for me to have any peace of mind. I've had light spotting, I've lost every symptom I had for 5 days, and it took 3 days to get an ultrasound, but at least we got to see the heartbeat. I've had the worst flu of my life for 9 days now, and I've lost 9 lbs because of it, and today I have a tiny amount of spotting again. I've probably popped a blood vessel or something from all of the coughing. The Dr couldn't hear the heartbeat with the doppler on Wednesday, but I have a tilted uterus and it's always hard to hear it in the beginning. The doppler was picking it up though, which was a relief. I so want to be able to relax a bit, but we lost our son at 14 weeks, which is so late, and we didn't find out until we went for an amnio at 18 weeks....so I don't know when I'll be able to breathe easier. I want to fast forward 27-ish weeks. I just wish I could have that innocence that we have before we lose a baby. We're supposed to tell our families at Christmas, but I'm scared to say anything.....glad you asked?? LOL...I'm also at the peak of pregnancy hormones, so my mood is literally all over the place.

Have you decided what you're going to do, Sunny?

Tasha, I hope you caught that egg, it sounds like you may have

 

[mammaspath]

fx'd for you Tasha...........just an fyi i really think i conceived baby around the time i was taking tylenol with codeine prescription.......so if your taking any medicine i would bd as much as you can tolerate!
