Well good luck booey with your testing - tut tut for testing early although I am sure I will too! At least you are racing through the 2ww, not too long to go until you will know for sure. And like you say, onwards and upwards if it isn't the news you are hoping for.
Bubba4us - I hope you get your positive OPK soon. It is so much better to know what is going on. I usually obv on CD20, unusually CD19 this cycle. It will happen soon. Hope your bloods go well too.
I'm off on Saturday at 5am but will log on every now and then while I am away. I really hope I return to see a few SMEP BFPs! Hopefully I'll be bringing home a little bean of a baby too.. Good luck all around. x
Sorry I seemed to disappear off the face of the earth for a few days. To fill you in quickly, i had what i thought was my positive ov on monday and stupidly made the mistake of telling OH and putting loads of pressure on for serious BD'ing that night. He basically freaked that evening and was going on about it not being all scientific and we should do it when we want to not cos a stick says so and after a while of this the mood was totally gone! And then, i did what any normal muture woman would do (NOT)- I sulked!!! I know, I know, i should have talked to him but i was so mad on missing ovulation i just sulked. oops. Anyway, after that i just needed to keep away from this site for a few days to clear my head.
I also don't know now whether i did ovulate or not cos not sure about timing of usng stick. Used SD one at FMU and it says to use later in day and not FMU and when i did one later on it was negative so now i'm confused!!! No EWCM either. Hmmmm, maybe i'm in for a hugely long cycle again. Grrrrrrr
Anyway, how are you lovely lot getting on? MrsEH, you must be wizzing your way off on honeymoon right now. Hope you have a lovely time and come back with amazing BFP news. Sounds promising. Bubba4us, I'm sticking around waiting for that elusive positive too so we can stick around together!! Booey, weird how you're getting positives for so long. Maybe you could share one with me!!! hehe. Hope you get some BFP news soon
hi all!... well just to update you, i did opk this morning...and again line is there, quite dark....so i did another lol same again....i got little cramps now, period due monday, it seems im the only person that gets these for so long lol, done preg test and neg? could i be preggers? of my body playing tricks? xx..come on BFP's lets have some luck on the SMEP thred! xx
Just logging on quickly to see how everyone is getting on.. Did you ovulate Wispa? Hope it is a BFP booey. I am trying desperately hard not to ss - though have sore boobies, am always hungry and need to pee way more than normal. Am only 5DPO though so am definitely making it up! Have decided the earliest I will test is Sat when I will be 11DPO and AF is due on Thur - will try to wait as long as poss, but as we're on honeymoon would like to know so I can indulge in pate and wine! Good luck everyone. x
Hi MrsEH, how's the moon? How have you found time to come on here?! hehe. How amazing if they are real symptoms, never know! My sister had symptoms that early on and is now pregnant. Fingers crossed.
Not sure whether i ov'd in the end, keep getting really confusing results on ov sticks plus it's costing me a fortune so just taken the plunge and bought a clearblue monitor for next month so i can really do it properly. Also had a really good chat with OH today and explained about the small window of time each month for baby making. He had no idea and is fine with the monitor and even helped bid for it on ebay! I'm happy we've talked about it all and no more secret poas! yay. Fingers crossed that will be a good luck charm-honesty! hehe xx
Hi Wispa! I do feel a tad naughty being on here, but hey ho! We had a 16 hour drive down to South France on Sat so have been thoroughly exhausted - have been being very leisurely so it is not frowned upon by my hubby that I am on the laptop! Thus far today we had a lay in, lazy breakfast, popped to the market for some melons, long lunch and then I fell asleep in the sunshine. Am thinking I might eat too much because everyday seems to revolve around the next meal! Might go for a walk tomorrow to burn off the giant chocolate eclair I just ate! I am trying really hard not to think about/talk about babies but it is niggling in the back of mind, so need the odd fix on here. Hpe I am getting early signs, otherwise will no doubt convince myself there is something wrong with me - yesterday I had to pee 4 times before lunch! Hahah - surely that is odd?!
I wouldn't worry about whether you ov'd or not - you did your best. We had exactly the same situation. Last month hubby struggled around the right day and this month I just could not get in the mood from the minute that positive line appeared. So who knows. I guess we just have to let nature take its course. Well done for chatting to your husband about it though, it is quite hard to be frank about these things. Any ideas when AF is due and when you might test? x
Aww Wispa I feel the same with hubby and I am also a big immature sulker!I think I Ov'd on Sat & we were at a wedding.I told hubs I was Oving and he kept telling me He was too tired-I practically had to force him upstairs to BD!! :S Just hope this month is our lucky month!Talking to his cuzs pg wife just hit home all the more on Sat and I sooo wanna be her baby buddy!!Its the only time I've ever been jealous of someone feeling sick,lol!!
Hope you're enjoying your honeymoon MrsEH...ooh how fab would it be if you found out this weekend?!Awww!I'm all emotional after that wedding-can't seem to shake the teary feeling,lol!!
Roll on July 24th/25th I say.If Im not lucky this month I feel I'm looking forward to trying out my new CBFM next month anyways!
It is all the more hard when someone you like is pregnant because it would be so nice to share pregnancy with a friend. My friend is desperate for us to fall because she is only a month or so gone now. Does add pressure though! Has anyone started symptom spotting? I assume we're all in the dreaded 2ww now? How many DPO are you? I think I am 7 today. I am dizzy, tired, hungry, peeing more frequently, sore boobs and my husband said they look much 'fuller' today. Interesting because he used the word 'fuller' of his own accord rather than bigger and also I have quite small boobs so they don't change a lot. Anyway... MUST NOT SYMPTOM SPOT. I am trying so hard t be relaxed and I really doubt we have done it this month as, like you ladies, we struggled a bit by the time actual OV came round. Ho hum, keep on waiting I guess... x
I know,I love them to bits but I cant help but think "why did they get it and we didnt?!" Hopefully we'll catch up with them soon!
Ooh your symptoms sound reeeeally promising MrsEH!How can you think you're out this month?!When do you think you'll test?You might be the first SMEP graduate,yayyy!
I'm 3 DPO today,so got a bit of a wait on me yet!!I'm struggling already-I just am longing to be pregnant!! :O
Keep us posted on your symptoms!The only thing I've had since saturday is being realllly emotional at the slightest thing and today I had a super sore head which I never get but I only Ov'd on Sat so I guess it's just coinicidence!!Ah well,only 2 weeks to go!Lol!
I just have that feeling, you know - like it just hasn't happened. I am trying not to be optimistic, a bit like when you tell everyone you failed an exam even if the paper was ok. I just can't help but feel that because we're very keen and tried extra hard, it won't happen - sod's law and all that. Anyway - I feel much more relaxed and positive this month so it isn't all bad! Bubba4us, I hope the 2ww is very swift for you - it feels like forever when you've just OVd. I'm not sure when to test.. I'll be 9DPO tomorrow so could test but would prob be too early. By Saturday I'd be 11 DPO and AF is due Wed/Thur.. always so hard to know what to do. Will try and wait as long as poss.. Sending lots of good luck vibes your way ladies. x
hey ladies...well was due today or tomo i think,,no sign yet!...headaches every day for few days and dizzyness etc...period pain gone...i hope this is it 4 me!....keep ya imformed...hoping smep has done it! xx BFP for all! xx
Thanks Wispa!!I'm dying to tell everyone but we're scared in case something goes wrong so think we'll wait 'til about 10ish weeks & then we're almost in the clear!
Don't worry about being 9 DPO with a BFN as I tested at 9 DPO and got the same,then 11DPO and I had the faintest of faint lines,then 12 & 13 DPO was much more clear!! (I know I took poss to a whole new level,haha!)
Again,MrsEH symptomless doesn't mean you haven't done it as I had no symptoms until about Thurs/Fri and AF wasn't due until yesterday/today and even at that I'm not suffering much...yet!!Lol!I thought we hadn't done it all the way up until last week and even until I got my BFP,so it can be done!!
Fingers crossed for you Wispa and MrsEH and congrats to booey!!!
Major congratulations Bubba4us - hope everything goes fabulously! I've missed loads! Tried to catch up on your news too Booey - blinking confusing those ebay sticks aren't they?! How are you getting on Wispa? Well, I made it back from Honeymoon safe and sound - only to be greeted with full on AF. Very disappointed but wasn't really unexpected. Went out and bought more OPKs, Preseed and a Zita West book - determined to jump back on the horse next cycle (CD8 today I think). I am also really determined not to get too stressed about it - I was so anxious last month that I was making myself ill. Wasn't helped by a big bout of end-of-termitis... I always get sick at the end of the school term. Feeling a tad more positive now and have arranged a big garden party to celebrate Hubby's 30th for the day I would be due to test this month - hoping that will keep my mind off the whole thing. Those of you who don't get BFPs... what are your plans for the next cycle? Still have my fingers crossed for those who are waiting. x
