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

[dove830]

Being back to work sure inhibits my BnB time, lol....

Kates--when I had my chemical, I was also 3 days "late" for AF, and I O'd right on time the next cycle, and we conceived our littlest man. FX for you!

Button--how's your dreaded TWW going? How's the pineapple? Any symptom spotting??

Tasha, hope m/s hasn't gotten you yet! How are you feeling?

Krys--hope you are hanging in there...getting close!

AFM CD 14 today, waiting to O....hoping it's before CD32 like last cycle. Trying not to hold my breath, but I'm hopeful for this cycle

Finished the pineapple! No symptoms except sore boobs and cramping but I get them when I'm not pregnant so I'm not paying too much attention. Also absolutely shattered but I suspect that's more to do with being up with LO for an hour last night.

I'm getting ready to stat SMEP on Sunday! It seems insane that it was a week ago this morning that I got the BFP - it feels like so much longer. Sigh. Well, at least my bleeding seems to be wrapping up so I'm hopeful we can start SMEP on Sunday. I want to get this show on the road!

What have you guys tried to keep things "fun" with SMEP? I know the last time we tried something similar (when TTC #1), my DH and I both got kind of sick of it by the end, and now we have to fit it in around the schedule of our toddler (plus we have family in town this week, and a very full weekend next week when I should O). Any fun ideas?

Hey laddddiess!!

I wanna try this out even though I feel like we have already been kind of trying this with no success iykwim?

Well I'm going to be using a clearblue fertility monitor this cycle so I was wondering how that works if anyone knows, in terms of bd that is?

Do we every other day till we get a peak which is like a positive opk right?

 

[Mariahs Mom]

Hi ladies!

Welcome here, Kate! So sorry for your loss! I hope SMEP works for you! xox

Krys: YAYYY!!! You made it to mat leave!!! Rest up now before baby comes!!! Ooooh, I cannot wait until your little one arrives!! How are you??

Button: Already 6 DPO????!! I find your cycle ZOOOM by way faster than anyone else's! How are you?? Is your mom still visiting? xox

Dove: YAY for geering up for O!!! Keep us posted on your OPKs!!

DeeDee: Good on your DH for staying so calm! He's a trooper! What is the stress test for?? Is it related to pregnancy?? How are you doing??

AFM: Things are going well over here! Rough week though, DH and Ana both came down with fevers...I'm so thankful that I didn't catch it! Exhausted, but no morning sickness yet!

The non-stress test is conducted by connecting you to a baby monitor. Your baby has to kick a certain amount of times and their heart rate has to increase with each movement. Basically, a test to make sure your baby is not under any stress....I failed it this morning (baby was sleep) so I had an ultrasound and everything was fine.

Other than that, I've been feeling ok. I've had two incidents where I thought I was in labour but false alarm. I have an appt to remove my cerclage (stitch that is holding my cervix shut) on the 25th. So, that may be BABY DAY! I'm really excited!

How are u?

Krys- how are you? Any signs of labour?

 

[Button#]

Hi BabyJan! If I were you I would treat the peak as a positive OPK because from what I've read the peak is when the LH surge is detected whereas high is when oestrogen is rising. Good luck!

 

[babyjan]

Yeah button, that's what I'm going to do x

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies. sorry I been MIA just being lazy!

Welcome new ladies, good luck TTC.

Looks like there's a lot of happening this week. Good luck catching those eggies! Hopefully the super moon helps out...

Lisa, I'm stealing your FB pik, it's too cute!

Deedee, how you feeling lady?

AFM, I'm doing ok. Just ready to meet this baby. I'm super tired and my 13yo stepdaughter is here for the month so it's a tske keeping her busy and being 9 months. As of last week, I haven't dilated a bit, cervix is soft but pretty high....I think I having the baby between the 18th and 23rd...we shall see!

Talk to you ladies soon hope the next time I check it there will be some +hpts!

 

[Tasha S.]

Hey ladies!!

Dove: I see you're still waiting for O! I hope it comes soon! How are you?

Button: Oooooh, 9 dpo! Are you going to test, or are you going to try to wait to see if AF shows?? Everything crossed for you girl!!!

Babyjan: Welcome here!

Krys: SOOOO close!!! So stinking excited for you!!!!

DeeDee: WOW! The 25th is coming soon!!! Basically 2 more weeks! Can't wait for you to hold your baby!!!

Kate: Sunday is here!!! Time to get your smep on!!!

AFM: It's 2:30am, I've been having SERIOUS insomnia problems this pregnancy. Crazy, because I'm so early on. I just can't sleep at night for the life of me (I could sleep all day long, I actually find the days torturous). Arrrrgghhh. And I start university (I'll actually be teaching in a highschool Monday through Thursday and will attend uni classes on Fridays) in 2 weeks so I need to get back on schedule! I'm going to make myself an acupuncture appointment!!! FX it helps, I just don't understand! Oh, and morning sickness kicked in! Feeling awful, and proud of it! LOL!

 

[Button#]

Krystina - yay! Nearly there!

Tasha - I had insomnia in the beginning of pregnancy, very annoying. I'm very happy that you're feeling sick!

I've ordered some ICs from Amazon so I'll test when they get here.

 

[kategirl]

Tasha - withe both of my MC and with my DD I had bad insomnia for the first month or so after finding out. It's real!

 

[kategirl]

We officially started SMEP today! Here's hoping it helps us get a BFP faster! (Though I'm going to assume it will still take us a few more cycles, but hopefully not too many).

 

[dove830]

STILL waiting to O!! *sigh* This not knowing thing is making me nuts!

 

[Button#]

Tasha I think I may be in your gang!

[Tasha S.]

Button!!!!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!!!!! Congrats girl!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Button#]

Thanks Tasha, complete surprise. I was telling myself off for wasting an FRER as I was unwrapping it!

 

[kategirl]

That's so exciting, Button!

 

[Tasha S.]

Doesn't it always feel like that, Button?? It's just so hard to believe that you'll see that second line when you decide to take a FRER! How are you feeling??? Has the news settled yet?? What's your plan of action, are you telling anyone yet??

Dove: I hope FF confirms O soon!!!! Thinking of you girl!!!

Kategirl: YAY for starting SMEP!!! Best of luck!!

 

[Button#]

News is still sinking in but I've told OH and my mum. That'll be it until 12 weeks. I'm a bit nauseus and tired and my boobs hurt which is why I tested, but I was still expecting it to be BFN.

 

[kategirl]

My boobs have really hurt on and offall day. Several times I've had the thought "maybe I'm pregnant?!?" Then I remember I am defiitely NOT pregnant and have to remind myself I haven't even O'd yet (if I even do this month since I MC'd last month). LOL, how silly is that?
