CD 8 and starting SMEP today - Anyone else?

[daisyr21]

Hi girls! I'm sending lots of positive vibes your way. Hoping that the witch stays away from you Laubull and Nimbec, you will see that your results are going to be good.

Well for me I'm kind of excited today since I'm 11 dpo and I haven't tested yet! Woohoo! That is a big acomplishment for me because ever since we started TTC by 9dpo I have done a test.

It's actually been an odd morning for me. My energy level is pretty low, like I was really dragging while making coffee and DH's lunch. I felt like I had a slight hangover or like I'm going to get sick. Had some nausea and headache. I'm also incredibly gassy and bloated. My boobs are still tender and overall just really not feeling like myself. I'm hoping this is a good thing but at the same time I keep reminding myself that all of these "symptoms" could just be hormones being extra mean this month.

 

[Laubull]

Well done Daisy for resisting testing so long, I gave in at 9DPO and regret it. Your symptoms sound good and I hope it's because of a little bean growing and not the hormones

Still no AF for me, pleaseeeeee hold off for 9 months!

Well this has been a day completely out of the ordinary.. We got some unexpected and honestly troubling news when I took my 4 year DS for his annual check up. His doctor heard a heart murmur and now we have been referred to a cardiologist. He told me is really nothing to worry about, that most of the time the kiddos outgrow them and that he just want to be thorough.. Well those news that had me crying all of the drive home were balance out by a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why as soon as I got home my instict told me to take the test because if I was pregnant all of the stress I was feeling wasn't good. Sure enought I used an FRER at 11 am and I saw the test line even before the control line!!! I couldn't help but laugh out loud just because of the whole emotional rollercoaster this day has been. Told DH already since he came home for lunch and he said that was the last thing he expected

It's odd to get the result in a day where I'm worried about my other chickadee but I know that things happen for a reason and I know that stressing out is not going to help the little bean growing inside.

By the way this morning I could not button my shorts.. that's how bloated I am..

Crossing my fingers for you Laubull!!!

 

[nimbec]

OMG!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ALL GOT LITTLE BEANS!!!!!! YAY LAUBULL AND SILVERWILLOW!!! I definitely see the line Laubull!! My due date is April 12. Yay for Spring Chickens.. So if we are bump buddies, do we start a new thread or stay on this one??

Symptom wise I'm actually surprised I don't have any nausea. Funny enough I have gotten it every cycle that I didn't get pregnant. I'm just really bloated and gassy. It so uncomfortable. As soon as I eat I get that sort off like indigestion feeling. I drank some chamomille tea last night and it helped. How are you gals feeling?
