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

[JohnsonGirl]

Well smep didn't work for me this month- af came 4 days early!!! I'm still game though, on to the next cycle!

 

[Sunny skies]

Amy and Jamie, thanks for checking in, I miss you guys too.

Dove, love your bump, thanks for sharing.

May, hope your TWW goes by quick. Good idea with not tempting, no need for extra stress. Any decision about RE yet. The positive with going is you know exactly what's going on. I haven't used an opk in three cycles.

Tasha, yes I hear there's still a small chance, so I haven't given up hope. Who knows maybe my follies on the right will grow more by my scan tomorrow.

Rachel, sorry about AF, at least coming early is better so you can move on to the next cycle. How long have you been TTC?

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies just stopping by....hope everyone's doing well!

Dove - I have tried everything! I used to put a pillow under my butt too then I remembered I have a tilted uterus so they say its good to lay on my belly. So I lay on my back with my hips up for 30 mins then on my belly with my ass up for another 15! Lol! Love your bump pic!!

Sunny - thanks girl! I haven't scheduled anything with the RE yet. Still in the process of researching and to tell you the truth, I am a bit lazy about it. In the back of my mind I really want to get preggo naturally but then I know it's probably a good idea to seek help since its been over a year. Just that there are so many REs to choose from and who knows if any of them are good. Good for youfor not using OPKs! Less stress and being relaxed seems to do the trick. All you need is to O on the good side and you'll be set!

Kristina - Hi girl! How are you?

Rachel - sorry about getting AF!

 

[~Brandy~]

Hi Everyone! I hope you dont mind if I join in. We are going to do SMEP this cycle after our loss

I am trying to stay positive. We are on our own this cycle but it doesnt look good. We have only had 1 BFP that ended in a MC in the last 3 years.

Ahhhh, crap! LOL....I have a tilted uterus too...guess my brilliant idea wasn't so brilliant after all

 

[Jessica28]

Amy - LOL. My OH will not touch me unless we are fully protected so we have not dtd yet. He says no more babies until we build a piece on the house! My period has come back already (about a week ago)...surprised it came back so soon.

 

[stacergirl]

Hi ladies, hope everyone is well. Just dropping by because words of encouragement would be good about now. I just found out my good friend is pregnant. I called dh for condolences and all he can say is "you should be happy for her." yes I should and I will be but not right now. I'm sitting at my desk crying. They have no idea how this affects us. Ugh! And we're still 2 months out from ivf and I haven't gotten my period yet and who knows if ivf will even work. Feeling down. Thanks for listening.

 

[mammaspath]

awe stacer! i remember them days.......i will say a little prayer for you. i hope everything works out with ivf....and its coming soon!

may - um your chart is beeUtiful

sunny - hi how are ya????

welcome brandy!!! love love love this group!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Stacergirl - Oh girl, I know the feeling all too well and I am sorry you have to deal with this. Our men sometimes just doesn't understand how emotional we can be with TTC. My DH keeps telling me I need to relax and don't worry what other people are doing. Easier said than done when everyone around you is getting pregnant but you. Life isn't fair. But when you finally do get pregnant, it will be that much more sweeter and because it took so much to conceive, you will be a better parent and appreciate your kid(s) more even when you want to kick their ass at times. Cheer up girl! We are here for you!

 

[stacergirl]

Thanks ladies, I'm happy for her, but the thought of her pregnant makes me want to cry. Its just not fair!!! And may I couldn't agree more!! One of the girls at work got pregnant on her 7th IUi and she appreciates that little boy like no other. I'm going to try and keep away from my friend tho until I can feel better about this. I just need to think about whats best for me. Dh makes me feel crazy for feeling like this, but I don't think it's abnormal. Maybe if I was wishing bad stuff on her bc she was pregnant then that would be abnormal. Which i would never want that. I just want all of is to get our bfps. Ugh!! I gotta try not to think about it!!!

 

[Tasha S.]

Stacer: I'm so sorry hun! I know the feeling too. And yes, it's perfectly normal to feel that way and it's totally okay to avoid your friend's presence until you're feeling more at peace. I'm sending a big hug your way! No period yet is a good sign! What CD are you on??

Krys: Nice to see you stopping by! I'm thinking of you girl! Hope all is well!

Rachel: Sorry about AF!!

Brandy: Welcome here!! Sorry for your loss!! I'm sure you'll love this group!

Jess: Wow, that's fast to get your period! My mom's didn't come back until 9 months post giving birth and my older sister's didn't come back until 6 months. Are you breastfeeding?

 

[stacergirl]

It gets better, just logged on fb and of course there's a pic of a baby holding the ultrasound photo of their new baby on the way. So that's 2 baby announcements today. Yay....
I don't know what cd I'm on, when I was on cd 3 I started taking birth control pills and got off a week ago but couldn't bd because of the procedure so I'm definitely not pregnant. So just waiting for Af... Itll get me one step closer which I could use right now. Thanks though!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Stacergirl - I have my best friend's baby shower to go to this Saturday. I have to admit its very hard for me to be happy for her when she has what I want especially since I am having such a hard time getting it. I try to put on a brave and happy face but its not easy. I also found out my ex boyfriend and his wife is pregnant with their second. I bet they didn't even have to try. Sigh! All we can do is hope that our day will come soon.

 

[stacergirl]

Oh gosh May! Im sorry!! Best of luck this Saturday!!! Ugh! I hope you have a really good game face!! I think the only way I can help plan this shower is if I'm pregnant at the time, otherwise no way. I was her moh which is the only reason why I'm thinking I might have part in planning it. Luckily I have a few months to prepare myself before that happens. I'm not going to lie though, I let myself go home from work early and lay in bed and Cry. I figure it's my pity party day and I deserve it!!

May your charts always look so great! You should be the model for perfect ovulation charts!

 

[BamBamsMaMa]

Stacergirl - I always have nice charts but they never result in anything good. I am just going to stop temping this point to reduce some stress.

 

[Sunny skies]

Welcome Brandy, good luck with SMEP, hope your first time lucky.

Stacer, I'm so sorry about your friends announcement. I totally understand, my DH doesn't'tbgt it either and sometimes he makes me wonder if I'm being selfish, but I know it's normal to be happy for others but still sad it isn't you. I've had so many friends and family get pregnant the last year I've lost track. I have a good friend who has a baby shower at the end of the month for her unexpected third baby and I was initially hoping it was the weekend I will be out of town so I could miss it. When I got the invite and realized I can't make it I felt really guilty. I am happy for her and wish her well, I just wish I could be pregnant with her too. A good cry does wonders, hope you have a better day tomorrow.

May, I had a hard time deciding to go to re too but Having the one tube makes me worry as my chances are already reduced. I just don't want any regrets but I still pray I won't need IUI or IVF. My DH is more laid back about getting pregnant and tells me to just relax and not stress, ugh easier said then done.

Krystina, thinking of you.

AFM, my ultrasound today showed some growth on my right follicles but biggest is 1.8 on my left it was 1.5 on Monday. I have some others around 1.1 and 1.4 on my right. Looks like I should be ovulating in the next few days so I'll go in every day until then to confirm O. 1.8 is conscidered mature so unlikely the right follicle will grow too much more. Nurse thinks I will o by cd 14 so at least I'll likely not have a long cycle again.

 

[~Brandy~]

Stacergirl I know how you feel its awful! Everyone around me at work is pregnant. I kept it quiet when I got pregnant last cycle glad I did since I suffered a loss at 7 weeks while everyone else was throwing baby showers at work... what a nightmare.

I wish you all the best.

 

[stacergirl]

Brandy, that sounds like a horrible nightmare. So sorry! I would've been so miserable! Ugh I guess I need to toughen up a bit!

Sunny-hoping things turn out well for you the next few days. Fx
