Certainturton- I can never thank you ENOUGH for introducing me to SMEP...
I know all of you ladies are so familiar with my symptoms (though I tried not to symptom spot) but just putting them here in one place in case it helps
1 -3 dpo- Mild cramps, left ovary stabbing pains ( related to O most likely)
4-6 dpo- Hot flashes while working out. I put it down to poor aircon in the gym but sweating buckets (gross I know,tmi sorry) is so not me. Even my trainer noticed and was like are you close to that time?
I feel like my whole body is on fire. Bbs slightly sore
5-6dpo-tender bbs, mild cramps continue but I felt these last cycle too when I was so convinced I was pregnant.
7 dpo- Looking back , I think this could be the day I implanted. I have the mother of all headaches which just gets worse as the day progresses. I feel sharp stabbing pains in my abdomen in the afternoon, all gone by evening. This was probably the first ray of light for me, because I never ever get headaches. I feel super bloated, like I have a whale in my tummy
8 dpo- tender bbs, underarm shooting pain. This one definitely got me thinking
9 dpo- this was the weekend I was away. Tender bbs and underarm pain continues. Im gorging on prawns all day long (not very clever
). I am fine all day. 2 hours after dinner, while Im brushing, I feel a wave of nausea hit and puke a bit. Its not the clean your stomach retching which one normally feels after mixing drinks or overeating just a quick wave of nausea and a light vomiting(tmi,sorry ). I am getting those pulling cervix pains which I feel during AF and the witch is not even close. But Im so wary of symptom spotting after last months disappointment, treating with a pinch of salt
10-11 dpo-tender bbs continue but i think it is because Im constantly feeling them and ordering them to hurt!
12-13dpo-the headache is back. Dull throbbing all day long, I feel like I have a stone on my head. Just cant shake it off, no matter how much exercise, green tea or aromatherapy i try. Increased sense of smell- I feel like everyone in the elevator has body odour. Gassy, i think a bit of heartburn. I dont know if i can call it heartburn, but I can feel everything I have eaten in my throat for 3 hours after (tmi,sorry)
14 dpo- Tender bbs gone, no cramps nothing. Feeling massively out and thinking I have imagined symptoms all over again. Mid-day I start feeling shooting cramps in my lower back and panic. Doc thinks its all related to a nerve being pulled and thinks not related to pregnancy at all.Super crushed, Just want to POAS and end misery...
15dpo- Cramps in back continue, but I feel NO muscular pain at all. Got into a fight with DH and feeling super irritable sure the
is coming.
16 dpo-Today, AF day! Test is a faint positive!blood test puts it at 2-3 weeks pregnant.
I am mortally terrified of temping and OPKing. I tried to use my CM as an indicator of fertility this cycle. I had watery CM almost immediately after AF (from CD 7-panties wet on those days, tmi sorry)..I dont have the abundant EWCM that stretches 2-10cm as most google results show! If i had something like it , was probably for 1 day-May 17. And I ovulated early , around CD11 (May 19) so those O-calculators are definitely BS. The watery CM turned distinctly white around May 22 (CD15) which told me that I was probably not fertile anymore. We BDd as per SMEP (CD9, 11,12,13,14,15 and CD 11 was O-date) and felt we didnt get enough
in as I ovulated early. I started getting a lot of white abundant sort of stretchy CM from 10 dpo which felt much more in quantity than usual.
SMEP works- and I cant thank Certainturton enough for introducing me to it
and I cant thank you all enough for being so wonderful
Here's to a ton of BFP's in the coming month!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! I am also very happy I can finally use the 
for you....but I reckon you dont need it anymore! have you told many people? or will it be a secret?
Glad to hear it. 
Woop woop!!!! Yeah you!!
