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

[Krakir]

Just looked up fertilitea, I've already been taking a raspberry leaf tincture (after m/c periods were ridiculously heavy, this seems to help loads) so perhaps I'll see if my local tea makers have something similar to this and add it to my august arsenal

 

[Tasha S.]

Stacer: WOW, you sound like supermom! That must be so tough! What time do you manage to get to bed at? Where do you work? I can't wait for your DH to come back for you!

Krakir: I conceived my rainbow baby the first cycle I used fertilitea, so I'm an advocate! It doesn't work for everyone though. I guess it helps if your hormones aren't perfectly balanced! I'm giving it another go this cycle (first cycle ttc post-partum) so we'll see if it keeps its perfect record for me! I know red-raspberry leaves are wonderful for helping to control bleeding, my parents-in-law give red-raspberry leaves to their cows when they have problems with bleeding (they're dairy farmers)! I wish you luck this cycle!

AFM: My temp jumped up again! YAY! I'm at 10dpo, which is the longest my luteal phase has been post-partum (not very glamorous, longer luteal phases are better!), but we'll see! I'm trying to hold off testing until Thursday...if I don't end up getting AF today, it's going to be hard to hold off testing tmr! But I'll do my best!

Fingers crossed Tasha!

Tasha-I try to go to bed at 9 which is soon after my LO bc in so tired and want to get as much sleep as possible but I still feed him at 11pm so that takes about 15 min, but then every noise he makes I'm awake. I've been putting him to sleep in his crib the last 3 nights bc he's too big for his basinett. He didn't do to bad last night, but woke up at 540 and didn't really get back to sleep at all since I had to be up at 630 to get ready for work. I work at a hospital on their electronic medical record.
Wow can't believe you could possibly be pregnant!! That's awesome!

My crosshairs came back??? I'm thinking I should go by opk's though, since my temps are all over, and I don't trust it. That makes me 7dpo today. I used just opks for ttc Lucas anyway....

Tasha, chart looks awesome

Button what will you be doing this cycle?

 

[Tasha S.]

Oooh ladies, not spotting at all today (last cycle I was spotting at 10 dpo and af came the next day)! I might give in and test tomorrow morning if my temp is still high, I'll see. I'm nervous!

Dove: YAY for crosshairs coming back! Looks like fertilityfriend is ignoring yesterday's low temp as an outlier. Cool! You're only 3 dpo behind me! Fx for you!!!

Stacer: You really are supermom! You have my respect, that's for sure! So do you drop off LO at a daycare? If so, how does that go? Sounds like you have a good job! I'm so nervous about not being with Ana during the days, I start my field experience in a highschool in a month from now...Ana will be staying with my mom most of the week and with my sister on Fridays, but even then I'm nervous! I guess because I've always been with her and she's pushing a year old now. We have our routine together and we're both comfortable with it. We'll grow into a new routine though! I just hope it won't be too rocky! ...I know, I can't believe I could be pregnant again either! It's just weird! I'm excited for you for next cycle!

Thinking of you, Button! xox

Dove - I think your chart is looking fine. I normally O two days after my positive OPK.

I've started temping again this morning and I'll be doing OPKs. I'm just taking pregnacare and omega 3. I'll try b50 next cycle depending on how this one goes. My AF has been a bit weird, only 2 medium days and then 3 days with just a little bit of spotting.

 

[Tasha S.]

Well ladies, this morning's surprise! I'm in shock.

 

[Button#]

Congratulations Tasha!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[krystinab]

Tasha!! Im so happy for you!! Yaaaaaaaaa!!!! Congrats!

 

[dove830]

OMG, Tasha I KNEW IT!!! What beautiful, strong lines you have too!! Over the moon for you, girl!

Hope I can join you in a few days

Button, maybe it's a good sign that AF was fairly light. Maybe your lining will be favourable for implantation.

Temp spiked up this morning, and I have some EWCM again?? Not a lot, but I've never had it anytime other than when gearing up to O. My stomach is unsettled, hoping that's a good sign.

Button, I just remembered that I forgot the pineapple core too

Krys--getting close!!! Hope you are doing well, and are comfortable

Welcome Krakir :wave: Good luck!

 

[Mariahs Mom]

OMG congrats Tasha!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wanted jump in. I will update a little later today...

 

[snowflakes120]

Congrats Tasha!! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!! Great lines too!!

I am a bad SMEP'er! I stalk and read but never post! Thinking of all you ladies! Lots of y'all are TTC - FX!!

 

[Button#]

Good luck dove!

I'm going to try and remember the pineapple this time! My OPKs came today and I took one to test and got a darker line than I expected. Definitely not positive but not as faint as they normally start out so maybe I'll O early this cycle.

 

[Tasha S.]

Thanks girls! I'm still in so much shock, I find myself always grabbing for my positive pregnancy test to remind myself that it's for real! I'm feeling super hungry and very tired, I find the 1st tri the hardest, but I'm feeling ready for the fight!

Dove: I hope you join me in a few days too! I'd love to be bump buddies again!

Button: YAY for the positive OPK! Rooting for you!

Can't wait to hear from the prego ladies!

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies. I like Lisa, I do more stalking than posting. I have to be super conservative with all my energy usage as even typing up a post takes a lot out of me

Everything is going well with me and the bump. He is right were he's supposed to be for 35 weeks (albeit a little big, but thats ok). I cant believe I will get to see his little face in just a few weeks. I guess my biggest complaint is being tired as hell...the 3rd trimester is really kicking my ass! Im still working which is killing me but next week is my last week in the office.

Anywho, if you don't hear from me for a while just know you are all in my thoughts and prayers

Good luck to all you ladies preparing to catch those eggies and "shout out" to all my preggo ladies out there! I hope yall are comfortable!! xoxoxoxoxoox

 

[Button#]

You ladies are all so close to meeting your babies, so exciting!

 

[dove830]

We are camping right now. It was cold last night, and I got a huge dip in temp today, so I'm hoping that's why. Tmi, TONNES of creamy cm...hoping it's a good thing....tww is killing me!!!

 

[Tasha S.]

Krys: YAY for being on mat leave next week! You'll need to rest up! Is the nursery ready?

Button: How are your OPK's these days??

Dove: Any updates? Everything crossed for you!!

 

[Button#]

Slightly lighter yesterday but i took it too early I think. Will do another one in a minute. Would be nice to get a positive OPK today because it's our anniversary.
