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

[Sunny skies]

Well I tested This am and BFN. I guess I've been reading too into my symptoms this cycle. I tested on an Internet cheapie as I didn't want to waist my last digital. I'm going to try and wait until after Christmas now if AF doesn't arrive by then.

Emily, sounds like you SIL is still grieving and needs some help. Feeling jealous is normal but hopefully she can be happy for you and enjoy being an aunt. I feel badly for her but sounds like you've been sensitive to her feelings and she needs professional help.

Gemma, I'm one of your biggest fans and I really hope this new year brings you that rainbow baby. How did you know which side you O'd from. Only having one tube really adds another level of stress, hope you get an appointment soon.

Sorry abt the bfn sunny

Drat! Sorry Sunny...I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.

Happy holidays to each and every one of you! No matter where you are in your journey, may you be blessed with happiness and peace!

 

[Sunny skies]

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays. Just thought I'd pop in to check in.
Unfortunately, I got one gift I rather have not gotten... The witch. I guess I knew it was coming. Trying to stay positive. At least I can drink for New Years.

Jamie, hope you and baby Blake are doing well, can't wait to see a pic.

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Where is everyone? First day back at work for me today and it's a drag! Did everyone enjoy their X'mas?

Jaime - Where are you? Enjoying motherhood? We want to see more pictures of Blake and hear all about your birthing experience (at least I do because I am terrible of labor and delivery)!

Sunny - Sorry AF got you. I hope you'll get a BFP this upcoming cycle.

AFM - I am at CD 23 today and I JUST got my positive OPK! This is completely unacceptable! I am at least 3 days late with O this cycle. Plus I DTD last night after reserving DH's swimmers for a week so now I am contemplating whether to DTD tonight again or wait till tomorrow. If we DTD tonight, there might not be enough swimmers (DH has low sperm count) since it has only been 24 hours since we last did it. If I wait till tomorrow, will I miss the egg? So frustrated! We have been trying everything... BD'ing everyday, every 24 hours, every 48 hours and nothing's worked so far.

 

[Sunny skies]

Hey may, hope we're both successful this cycle. I've been off all week, I go back to work Mon and then off Tues and Wed so I can't really complain.

I think you should bed to make sure you don't miss the egg, 24 hrs should be enough to replenish most swimmers, better to have some then none at all. I totally understand about trying every strategy and nothing working. My cycles are getting longer and it's super frustrating as I use to be really regular. Sucks that our bodies like playing games. Good luck.

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Sunny - I hear ya! My cycles are so irregular. Last month I got a + OPK at CD 18, this cycle it's CD 23. I can never count on when I will O and I am spending so much money on OPKs! I just don't know what else to try anymore. I guess I'll get preggo when it's meant to be. I am going to start Clomid next cycle (if there is one). I am nervous about the side effects as I already have zero EWCM. Why does it have to be difficult for us? I wish you the best of luck for this upcoming cycle. I am so jealous you have the week off. I have work alternating work days this week and even have to work on New years Eve! Bummer!

Ugh! I was so hopeful for you...at least you"ll be able to relax and enjoy yourself on New Years

Bam Bam's...I would get busy tonight too. It takes a bit for the sperm to mt th egg, so if you had a surge today, I wouldn't wait. Good Luck!

 

[Bride2b]

May have you tried 'Concieve plus' its meant to mimic EWCM and helps the swimmers get to where they are supposed to go.

Sunny sorry about the witch getting you! Thanks for your support hun, I agree having one tube adds to the stress no end! I had really strong O pains last cycle so thats how I know where I o'd from. I dont often get the pains so was really pleased to get it even though it really hurt!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Gemma - I am currently using Pre-seed and I wonder if its just as good as Conceive Plus?

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies...been lurking...promise to leave a real post soon...lol wishing everyone new years baby dust!!

 

[Tasha S.]

Sunny--so sorry about AF!! Thinking of you hun!!!

May--Alrighty May, I hate sales-pitching, but after my m/c I had very little CM either...and then this cycle with FertiliTea (from Fairhaven ) I was VERY CM'y...like VERY. It was almost disgusting! It's 15$ for a cycle--I would recommend trying it! I'm on CD 27 today (Dec 28th)...what CD are you on??

AF: Smack-dad in the middle of the dreaded TWW. I'm going to guess I O'ed on CD 20, so that would make 8 DPO. I'm hanging in there, and I'm not being to obsessive...YET! Hehe!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Tasha - I am CD 25 today. Just ovulated last night so I should be counting today as 1 DPO as well! I am taking Fertilaid now with FertilCM. I think it has improved my CM a tad bit but not too much of an improvement! I have to order more Fertilaid for hubby so I will throw in some Fertiltea! Thanks for the suggestion!! I can't believe you are at 8 DPO already! Did you temp or used OPKs this cycle? I hope you get a New year BFP!!

 

[armymama2012]

Ugh....I ate too much cereal (my favorite way to get calcium for baby). I feel like a bloated mess.

How are you holding up Sunny? And Krystina?

Alley where are you?

Witch is on her way out so I'm just trying to forget about TTC for a while and just enjoy new Years. I finally got a call from the fertility Centre and I'll be going in for appointment on Jan 10. Until then I'm going to try and focus on me again and get back into Zumba.

Hope your enjoying your holidays.

 

[armymama2012]

I love Zumba but I just do it on the Xbox. I will start doing it again like 10 weeks after this baby is born. It's always good to shift your focus even if its only for a few weeks.

My 20 month old DD is recovering from a double ear infection she got on Christmas.

 

[Bride2b]

Preseed is good but from the info I read online Conceive plus is better as it mimics seamen (I think) so the sperm can swim easier.

We cant get fertiltea here - would love to try it!

 

[alleysm]

Hi ladies !!! Just checking in on everyone! Any new bfps???

 

[Tasha S.]

May-I didn't temp or use OPK's, my O day is completely a guess lol! I rely on O symptoms to guess when it's happening! I'm glad you're going to try FertiliTea, you'll see, it tastes fine! Good luck to you too hun!!!

Alley-No BFP's since you've come around last. We're really due for good news if you ask me!! How have you been doing??

Dove-How's your pregnancy going?? Did you gain any weight back since your flu? And no more spotting?? Thinking of you!

AFM-CD 29, I'm estimating I'm 9 DPO. I don't feel pregnant, but I haven't tested yet. I'm going to wait until at least the 2nd of January to test! I'm thinking I might even have the strength to hold off until I see if AF shows up...not sure though!
