Sperm Meets Egg Plan - Anyone joining me?
- Thread starter CertainTurton
- Start date
katestar53 - Woohoo! Welcome to the tww, I hope you enjoy your time here 
Sorry, have no idea about FF charts. Have seen a lot of ladies talking about them though and was wondering whether to start but it looks far too complicated for me!!
Well AF is still a no show - yes please, chocolate would go down very well right now!! I'm wondering if I got my dates wrong and maybe O'ved later than I thought? I was only using the strips when I thought I O'ved but the test line wasn't as dark as the control... Does anyone know if using a CB digital OPK - do you get a smiley when you are actually O'ing, or only in the surge before?? I didn't use an OPK after CD17 - as I just assumed I Ov'ed on CD14 (used a couple after to check there was def no surge)
Maybe I didn't Ov at all this month
... Hmmm i'm confusing myself by writing this so if anyone can make sense of my ramblings, please enlighten me!!

sorry to hear that, lots of baby dust for the next one. Stay tuned for the next month of SMEP 
Smiley - What probably happened is that you Ov in between the sticks - I do find them hard to read, however the CB ones give you a smiley and that indicates you will ovulate within 12-48 hours so basically DTD!!
Katestar - Welcome to the 2WW, I hope you have a good one
Sherylb - that sounds like a good plan if you dont mind? Its great you have had all the success!

How is everyone??
So I went in today to have a "follicle check".... and my dr. says "wow.. you really responded well to the clomid!" She also said that I should O in 1-2 days 3 at the very most... and that I have "2 beautiful egg follicles.... BUT... U have one on each side!!!" I guess this means a chance for twins! LMAO!
She said that I should not skip this month because of that, most likely it would result in only one making it... but it was funny... and I did think for a tiny second.. "should we skip this month?"... ahhh..... sooo she did write me another month of clomid... but she lowered the dose from 100mg down to 50mg... never thought I'd go backward!?
I hope AF stays away girls and we get to see some BFP's here in the next couple days and weeks!!!

Hi All!
Can I join your SMEP group? I'm going to start tomorrow (CD8). I used this same plan/schedule to get pregnant with my now 2-year-old daughter. Worked like a charm last time! Fingers crossed that it works again as we are TTC#2 now.

Just checking in with everyone,I think its been a few days...Im 3dpo and the days seem to be dragging!! testing june 7th if af doesnt show on june 6th..no symptoms besides some light cramping which is normal for me after ovulation...bbs are tender when touched,but once again I think this is also normal as I had the same last cycle...Hoping smep works for all of us this cycle!!! 
Oh bummer! I'm out, had visit from the witch this afternoon. Will be following SMEP again this cycle, just want to get going now, I am so impatient lol! GL everyone
So sorry to hear that Mrs Treasure! Get your 3 glasses of wine and good luck for the next cycle!

Morning Certainturton- So sorry to hear about your bad day at work and BFN (but its still early!)...As long as 
cat is away, the ttc mice will play 
At least its FRIDAY!!!!! What are you doing for the long weekend? Dont worry about the symptoms disappearing...so many ladies have said that they had more symptoms in the months they were not pregnant than when they were.
I'm going to be away this weekend with my family and DH...so hopefully sanity will prevail and no TWW mania!

AM&PM - Welcome to our thread
Great to have someone who's had success with SMEP here, good luck with ttc number 2!
CaliGirl35 - Yay, twins!! That's great your body has responded so well to the clomid! Fx!
kbkb - Ahh you're so lovely! I agree though, you girls have been my saviour this month - has been great to talk to you all and can't wait to celebrate all your BFP's, bumps and babies! It's nice to get away whilst your in the tww, definitely takes your mind off things and gives sanity a little help!! Are u going anywhere nice? Good to hear about the headache (well sort of 
) - fx!
CertainTurton - Sorry it's still saying BFN, but still so early isn't it. Lots of time yet!! Did you try one of you IC? Hows the strip looking from inside the dig? (spoken like a true poas addict!!) I too have a "beep" of a boss, they drive me all insane at work. I cannot wait to go in and tell them i'm leaving for a year to go on maternity leave (yep, def taking a full year off this time) Wicked is amazing, I saw that a while ago - hope you enjoy it!
Well still no af, got no tests left though so got to nip into Superdrug on my way into work... the amount of times they've seen me as soon as the doors open in there over the past few months is a bit embarrassing
Ahh bank holiday weekend, how I have missed you. No exciting plans for me, just lots of lazing about!

's... serves them right i say!!! i wish we had a nice PUKE smiley!I was cautiously optimistic with the headache too, smiley. But resolving not to do any Sherlock numbers on myself

Wow smiley. Have u ever been this late before?
On cd 20 today. No symptoms, I'm feeling out but there is always a hopeful
Niggle in the back of my mind.
We are going crazy alert
camping : this weekend. What an unfortunate weather forecast.
I've seen wicked, it is brilliant!! Wear something
Emerald green and enjoy!!

Well my work don't give any maternity benefits at all, so will be on SMP for the whole time. But been saving like a maniac so that I can take a full year off!! Mainly just to annoy them! When I came back to work after having DS they told me "not to get pregnant again" ..... yeh ok!!
Nope not been late before, but still saying BFN....it's really infuriating now!! Just want AF to come if it's coming so I can get on with the next cycle, or show me a BFP!
Haha, that does deserve a crazy alert... Actually, the weather report isn't that bad, just said cloudy this morn, so you might be ok!?
