September/October SMEP Thread

Thanks. I'll be ok. Getting used to her now :/ toddmommy your chart looks awesome!

Texas. I bought Internet cheapies but i use the clear blue once the cheapie gets close.

I'd order the sticks off amazon. The ones that come in a pack with like 50 OPKs and 20 HPTs or something like that. That's what I used with my son and they're pretty good. Wondfo, maybe? I may get some this cycle too, since I had some strange issues with EWCM and pinpointing ovulation. I'm not even certain I ovulated, actually.

 

[LiLi2]

Ugh, I'm so crampy. Enough to make me want to take Tylenol! AF must be coming early. she's not due for 3 more days.

 

[TexasRider]

I was looking at the wondfo ones actually so I may try those this time especially since I had an 18 day break between bleeds. Hopefully I will have a normal cycle next time

 

[todmommy4568]

I did the same thing as deedee. I use cheapies starting early and then once they start looking close I start the cbfm

 

[LiLi2]

Have you tested again, todmommy?

Still BFN here. Just waiting for AF and planning next cycle.

 

[todmommy4568]

Here are my tests from this morning. I am feeling pretty out to be honest. All my symptoms have gone away, the only hope I'm keeping is that with my son I was symptomless, the month I found out I was pregnant with him was the one month that I thought for sure i was out. I think my chart is looking triphasic and if that is the case I should probably get a BFP tomorrow if it is coming but I think I need a day off of testing, feeling pretty bummed today.

 

[LiLi2]

I feel like I see something on the IC. Still feeling hopeful for you! I know nothing about charting, so can't comment there. I want to chart this month... Need to do some research. Lol

 

[todmommy4568]

I can see the line on the cheapie too which makes me wonder why I am so bummed today ugh idk

If you have any charting questions I would be more than happy to help!

 

[LiLi2]

I think you're preggo :wink:

I think I'd have a problem chatting because I rarely sleep for 3 uninterrupted hours at once. Lol! My son still wakes some nights and when he doesn't, I wake up anyway. And I pee twice a night.

 

[todmommy4568]

Lol yea then it probably wouldn't be so accurate

 

[TexasRider]

Well I just ordered my wondfo OPK & HCG combo pack and some conceive plus to use as lube. We decided against fertility sticks this month since we got the lube. Hopefully this will be our month!!

 

[todmommy4568]

Yay Texas fx'ed this is your cycle!!

Here are my tests from this morning, starting to feel like my chart is betraying me, guess I will know soon enough.

 

[LiLi2]

I for sure see a line on the middle pink test! Maybe even a little something on the frer.

 

[deedee2015]

Your chart looks awesome.I feel like this is your month!

 

[Ortegapg1]

Hi Everyone! I am still following and hoping someone gets their BFP!!!

Todmommy- Your charts look great!! And I can definitely see something in your pictures!! FXXX!!

AF is finally done..so now the wait begins

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks ladies! In person I can't see anything on the tests which is probably just my eyes playing tricks on me but not getting too excited just yet

 

[LiLi2]

Yay for being able to start again soon, Ortega!

Ugh, I know what you mean Todmommy. I didn't see a line on my FRER yesterday, but some other BnB-ers saw it in a picture. I didn't test today because I'm 100% symptomless and feel AF is around the corner. But yours look far more promising than mine.

 

[todmommy4568]

I can definitely see a line on that FRER! Sometimes I feel like we get so invested in each others journeys that we develop line eye for them lol. I posted my FRER on the countdown to pregnancy gallery got 27% positive and 73% negative.

 

[LiLi2]

I posted mine too and they said 100% negative... Sooo yeah. There goes that pipe dream.

The odd part about that test was that at about 1 minute, I definitely saw a line. I grabbed it, moved to better light, and saw it clear as day. Still there at 2 min and definitely pink! By the time I grabbed my camera and took a photo, I couldn't see it anymore. Totally gone by 4-5 minutes. Must have been dye caught there that eventually ran off. I was so sure for that couple minutes that it was BFP. Cruel!
