Starting SMEP Again join in guys SMEP TTC#1 June/July(2BFPs)/Aug thread

[jumpingo]

he forgot to buy it so i was safe for another day!

now FF is messing with me again, moving my O day to CD13 (from CD10) but i have a screwy temp at CD14, so depending which number i use (too early temp taking time or too late) it moves. don't know what to do (realizing there's probably nothing i can do at this point but wait but...ugh!)

haven't tested yet but if O gets moved to CD13, i'm only at 7DPO and not testing that early so more waiting i guess!

 

[maggz]

Haha oh gosh the problems of ttcing!!

Well I say you're 7 dpo so you'll be closer to me and then we can get our bfps together

 

[jumpingo]

either way, i bought a test at the store today and just waiting until i actually have to pee to use it! need to get POAS out of my system and then i'll wait until closer to the weekend...

forcing myself to write wedding thank you notes instead of browsing the boards need to finish them before my family gets here on sunday!


edited to add: it was a BFN this evening. not even a squinter, so will try to wait until thursday or friday before giving in again.

 

[maggz]

Haha I get what you mean about getting it out of your system! Totally necessary sometimes!!!
Sorry it was a bfn but seriously it's way too early hon, don't worry I know we always hope for that early bfp but it's so unlikely! That tiny glimmer of hope that it CAN happen is what has had me testing early before... but I'm really gonna try to just wait now.

I didn't get a bfp until two days after af was supposed to be here last time, and even then it was super faint.

What are you gonna do with your family? Any activities planned?

 

[jumpingo]

oh it gets better: was talking on another thread about my chart, and even though CM would make FF think i ovulated at one point, my temps are pretty much pointing to a totally different date. not even the CD13 it moved it to the other day. nope, CD17 is looking more like my O date.

so i switched the FF detector setting from Advanced (which is the default) to FAM, which, as far i can figure out, gives more weight to temps and not all the other data that the Advanced setting takes into account. with the FAM setting, i'm coming in at 4DPO now today.

that would DEFINITELY mean getting a BFN on yesterday's test

nothing like doing the TWW over again!


thankfully my family will be here next week, so it should go fast. we are traveling all over Japan (Kyoto and Tokyo) as well as getting a Mt. Fuji climb and a wedding party squeezed into 8 days. will be crazy. but should be a great trip!

 

[maggz]

Wow! Are you serious
Well I guess that means we're gonna be testing buddies

Sounds fun! I bet it'll get your mind off the tww at the very least!

Hi ladies.
I am so excited for you ladies in your TWW. I hope it flies by but we all know how that doesn't usually happen. I hope we will see some bfp this month.
My cycle started a couple days ago so now so I scheduled my HSG. I will be going in august 8. The lady that does the scheduling is so nice and sweet. She told me she had one and gave me some solid advice. I already knew most of it because of these wonderful forums but it made it a lot more relaxing to have someone so sweet and caring on the other end of the phone. I can't really smep due to the hsg but we will try our best after the test. My dh is also having a sa done. Hopefully the same day. Two birds with one stone.

 

[maggz]

Sounds good! Yeah it's always so reassuring to not just be a patient number but hear that someone cares.
Good luck with it all, please keep us updated

good luck for tww guys Maggz and JUmpingo..

for me
AFM...m back from my hubbys bday honeymoon..did lots bd ..all around..cuz the checking on opk...ferning and temping was going all along ..and I was so confused with my temps this time that i felt I ov early than I thought and started bding a lil early ..only to my surprise(sarcastically)...my opk showed positive yesterday itself...lol..but still we managed to bd till yesterday from 24 and two times in between too...hope and I knw we have done a lot..no leaving gaps..that is and now we are like we are definitely taking good break from sex!!...
hope this daily bding ..does not leave my hubbys spermies..lethargic...to swim up!!(sorry tmi)...fx...lets c..

had great time vacationing with hubby and it feels so good to be back too!!


FutureBabyG....all the best hun for both of u ..so good to have someone caring at the docs..it really lessens the anxieties!! good luck for hsg let us knw how it goes..hun!!

 

[maggz]

Thanks hon, glad to have you back!

Now you're with us in the tww although you're a little behind us, that's okay! My lp is usually long so our cycles overall are pretty similar I think

 

[Pearly86]

yeah we almost have the same cycle wherein my lp is short and ov a lil late obviously
and urs a real perfect one ...I so wish we become bump buddies here!!

how are u jjumpingo..?? what dpo are u ..i gues we all have the same cycle days right~~


and good luck futurebabyG,,,for hsg let us knw how it went..

 

[FutureBabyG]

Thanks Pearly. I am getting nervous and excited to know the answers. My dh got his SA scheduled after my HSG. We will have hsg results as soon as they r done my doctor will come in and talk to me. If there is no blockage we will start clomid (as long as sperm count is extremely low). If blockage in only one tube and sperm count is ok we will do clomid and smep or iui. If there is complete blockage ivf. If sperm count is lower and no blockage we will do iui. I am also looking at femara since clomid has a side effect of thinning women's lining. I might also ask her for progesterone suppository.

 

[jumpingo]

pearly,
i'm 10DPO today (6th) but have been traveling and hiking so no HPTs or even much symptom spotting...good to get my mind off waiting but my family is driving me crazy and i want to have enough data to have something to compare to if i need next month. managed to temp today (on absolutely horrible sleep though, ugh) hoping a bfp will make that not a problem

mostly trying to keep up reading but don't have much chance to post. can't wait to hear how everyone else is doing though!!

 

[Pearly86]

omg futurebaby..u have everything so bravely lined up i mean for every possible result there is a solution wow.. u so brave!!
. but .I really really wish u all the luck on that sweets..hope u get no blockage and SA result excellent so that u dont have to go for all that !! fx for u keep us posted!!


Jumpingo..wow good ur enjoying all the activities..I say do all the stuff u enjoy with ur family and once ur back u have ur BFP.!!..so dont woryy hun if ur not able to take temp properly. wish u all the luck hun .!!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Question ladies. What would you do if you were me? Dh has sa on Friday, we have been trying to keep with smep. One because i want his numbers to reflect what we have been doing and having a chance with and i don't want to look back wondering. Secondly we are hoping that way after the hsg and sa, we can continue on with trying this month. So tonight is the last night they will allow him to ejaculate. Oh and I was told absolutely nothing in the vagina until after the hsg so we have only been hands on. Lol. My question is should we bd Friday night after hsg and sa? Or when should we start bding? I ask because they say the dye will be leaking out after the hsg, but they wouldn't say how long to expect it and I almost think we should wait until Sunday to allow the count to build back up. What would you do?

 

[maggz]

All right girls it's on! Two BFPs this morning!

 

[Pearly86]

Maggz...wowwwwwwww first bfp for this thread wohooooo
m so excited ..I really we all follow next wow..so excited for u hun thats blazing positive..what dpo are u ??
share ur bd schedule or chart too hun!! wish u a very H&H 9mo and this ones gonna be a sticky and healthy one m sure!!

 

[Pearly86]

Future..for SA test a recomended no days are told not to have sex .so strictly follow that so that the test is accurate..I gues its said 3 days before SA u shouldnt have sex..good luck hun!

 

[maggz]

Thanks darling pearly you've been so positive and supportive We're lucky to have you!! Yes now you'll all follow me so we can be bump buddies!!

I followed the smep almost to a t - I didn't chart but I should be 12 dpo! I'm really nervous still but the cheapie is way darker than the tests I took before I had my mc so that's reassuring I guess... Just trying to keep calm and not go crazy over this haha!

 

[maggz]

Oh and future sorry I don't have any insight as to how long the dye is gonna be leaking out maybe ask your doc if it's okay to bd with the dye? Fx for you
