[Jannah K]

Hi girls
May I join?..I want to try SMEP next cycle...we have been ttc12mos...got fertility testing done for both of us..all seems ok....I m just finding it difficult to nail down fertile window as I got irregular cycles and I get +ve opk multiple times in a cycle...I think once af arrives next cycle I want to go for follicle ultrasound....
I hope we All get bfp soon

 

[Pearly86]

Sure Jannahk, welcome Hun! Hope u start ur cycle soon unless this one is already a BFp �� fx for that though!!
I m so glad u decided to do smep with irregular cycle I would say do start temping as well and thts so nice units have got fertility testing done already m sure things will work out soon Hun and we all are here to help each other!! Will add u to the list!

 

[Jannah K]

Thanks pearly....I tested yday bfn...got +ve opk (ovulation) instead of af...I did progesterone blood work last week so I will get results in few days to confirm if I o this cycle....otherwise this cycle could be 50+days......I tried clomid as well 3cycles but unmonitored and relied on these opks...but now I m realizing I get multiple +ves in a cycle which is not possible.....good luck all

Sure Jannahk, welcome Hun! Hope u start ur cycle soon unless this one is already a BFp �� fx for that though!!

Welcome Jannah
Wow those are some loooong cycles you have! Hope you get good news from your blood work!

 

[Pearly86]

in case of pcos..multiple positives are very much possible...so hun I would suggest u to meet ur ob/gyn and discuss the same ..hope this cycle be ur BFP..cuz thats quite a long cycle!!..good luck dear ..keep posted!!

 

[Jannah K]

Hi girls
I don't have pcos or endo
Both tubes open
Good ovarian reserve
Oh test results fabulous too
I think I don't ovulate each month....
I have appt with fertility doc next week.
Didn't get blood report result today but will get it tomorrow for sure to comfirm if I o timely...

 

[Pearly86]

ohhh..m so sorry hun!!...good luck for the test result n let us knw too!!

 

[Jannah K]

Hi girls
Got the result...no ovulation hence long cycle...gynae didn't want to induce period as I m referred to fertility center n first appt next week...if I don't have period by than they will most likely induce it and will be put on something to start ovulating...little sad and nervous....
I don't have pcos..not overweight...dunno why irregular cycles...stress? But everyone has stress in life lol

 

[Pearly86]

ohh Jannah, m so sorry hun!...I understand u feeling down but atleast now u knw this cycle is an annovulatory one, so now you can really go ahead and get this thing looked up by docs!,,and an annovulatory cycle once in a while is ok I think ..so ull get all ur answers now,..hope ur AF visits soon so that u can go ahead!

Hi ladies. I had my the mental breakdown. Last night all our stress built up and got the best of us. Since January 2014 we have been looking for a boston terrier pup for our family (plus one for my parents). The first lady we tried to go through had her puppies and then told me there were four females but I couldn't have any because they wanted them all. I was upset because we were promised 2 of the females and first pick, sso we decided we were done with them and going back to the lady that gave us our first princess. We put in a deposit in march and she had a litter due in may. That litter miscarried. Then she said she had two litters due in july. The first one had an emergency c section and only 1 male survived so we lost that litter. I was so down that we have missed out on 3 litters. If I can't have a baby I would at least like a fur baby but it seems like everything is against me. Grrr.

Well this month has good we pulled off smep we skip tonight and BD tomorrow then just wait and see. My dh is convinced BD after ovulation causes me to miscarry so he said there will be none of that. Grrr I tried to explain it's not true but he's not convinced until we talk to ob gyn monday.

 

[Pearly86]

aww hun m sure things will happen for sure for all of us

good ur going for an ob/gyn and following a good smep plan .but ya continuing a few days after +ve opk is really important! but if ur hubby is not convinced..meeting an ob/gyn will definitely clear all the doubts..
as for the fur baby I really wish you get one!

Hi ladies, really happy to see this board.

Well new month, new cycle starts for me. I'm on CD9 today. As soon as my period was over last cycle, DH and I started BD on CD7. I don't know if we'll follow SMEP exactly, rather it will give us motivation to BD more frequently. Our goal is BD everyday or every other day at minimum until the start of period. Before we used to BD when only I saw +opk but for some reason the egg didn't catch yet. I'm also using the clearblue fertility monitor this month just as check, not relying on it to determine BD. But any extra information is good. I'm using wondfo ovulation kits and the clearblue fertility monitor and temping everyday, along with BD everyday or every other day. That pesky egg will get caught this time!

 

[Pearly86]

welcome again vs011 ...I have already added u to the group soon will see BFP ahead of everyone's ids m sure !!..
lets keep the smep going and no stress..!!

ur using and doing all the great stuff hun!..m sure ull be able to catch the eggy!
good luck hun!

Apparently a hour and a half after I wrote my post yesterday. The 4th momma went into labor. She had 2 girls and 2 boys. We will get to see pictures of them later this week once the momma gets time with her little ones. Maybe now that our luck has turned this month will have a positive outcome. Well really there is no bad outcome. We are either getting our bfp or treatment either way it's a win!

 

[FutureBabyG]

Welcome to the group.

How is everyone doing? Anyone testing next week?

 

[maggz]

Wow future that is so heartbreaking - but I'm glad you got better news after you wrote that! Let us see some pics of the little ones please

Welcome back vs, sounds good on your plan! Pearly and I are cd 7 today, lol funny how our cycles lined up Pearly!

It's been pretty stressful over here, we just bought a house a couple of months ago which is a money sucking pit should have known, eh! And then my dh's brother is staying with us cause our school district is better than his parents', so a lot of money going out and a lot less than we'd like coming in at the moment. It will all clear up in a couple of months but it's stressful while it's going on especially cause we don't wanna spend money on stuff that isn't necessary like movies or going out - but at the same time I'm going a little crazy not doing anything... if that makes any sense.

rant over!

To answer your question future, I won't be testing until mid-August, or like around the 10th!
