[TaffyRose]

Hi Applecider, huge congrats on your bfp!!! How are you feeling? I was so excited when I read you had been successful using this plan. I'm on my pregnacare and am excited about using SMEP so fingers crossed! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months xxx

 

[Applecider]

Thanks taffy good luck Hun! I really hope it works for ya xx

No criticism as I've kept to it this month (now CD 26 and getting hopeful!), but it's doesn't seem that scientific to me - just having a lot of sex, which basically is what the whole thing boils down to!! DH has had the best month he can remember

Prepare yourselves girls!!

 

[TaffyRose]

Haha, my OH will be more than happy this month. No I agree it's basically having a lot of sex, I just like the fact it feels like we're giving ourselves the best possible chance. FX for you Fliss, when do you start testing hun? xx

 

[flisstebbs]

Probably will cave in on thursday morning but after 5 BFNs in last 5 months, I've got quite apprehensive. Was going to try and hold out til sat morning as then would be a day late, but not sure i can do it!
Taffy - what cd are you now - when do you start smeping??

 

[TaffyRose]

I know what you mean, I'm determined to hold out until I'm late this month. I don't just want a maybe, I want a really strong line!! You can do it hun, be strong and wait a bit longer to make sure its a strong !! I know I'll be rubbish but I'll need you to stop me testing in a few weeks

I'm on cd8 so getting soon to SMEPING I'm very excited about starting on the opk it's the first month I've done it. I've told my OH to prepare himself, funny enough he seemed more than up for the challenge xx

 

[eliviasmummy]

I'm day 18 and got a faint/slightly stronger line yesterday so bedded as that's the first time iv got anything all month! But today it's only a faint line, never had that before when iv used clear blue! Not sure what to think but have bedded every other night anyway, hope that's ok still!! Xx

 

[TaffyRose]

FX for you hun,every other night is recommended in everything I read. That's what we're aiming for this month!

Fliss - have you held off testing? xx

 

[itisbabytime]

right, today is CD 10 - first opk test. have tried not to drink very much since about 4pm, last went for a pee at 5pm so going to hold it in for as long as i can and then test lol. expecting a negative opk as i usually o around day 14ish. Go team go!!

taffy -y hubby too things christmas has come early. We only started ttc last month but we haven't had so much sex since we met 10 years ago. i definately is making us feel closer than ever, not just in the obvious way!

 

[TaffyRose]

It's all very exciting, tomorrow I am cd9, so am 2 days behind you. Yeah I must admit we've felt a lot closer recently, I think each time we secretly think 'this could be the one'. Also because we haven't really told many people it's like our little secret we're ttc. I can't wait to be able to tell my OH I'm pregnant!! Lots of baby dust hun xxx

 

[itisbabytime]

as i expected - negative opk. but will still be tonight as per the plan. hubby has already told me that he is knackered after along day at work but im sure i can convince him.

 

[flisstebbs]

FX for you hun,every other night is recommended in everything I read. That's what we're aiming for this month!

Fliss - have you held off testing? xx

Yup so far I have! Now job interview done I am going to do one in the morning. DH still telling me he thinks this is it, but don't want to get excited. CD26 today and no sign AF (usually feeling quite miserable and getting spotting). I feel great! Had a little fainty do earlier today but it has been bloody hot!

Enjoy all the this month. I agree with above - DH and I both very happy this month regardless of result this month and will look forward to another SMEP month if this one fails!!

xx

 

[itisbabytime]

fliss let us know how you get on tomo, fx

 

[TaffyRose]

Hey hun, good luck for the morning, make sure you let us know how you get on. All signs are looking good so fx crossed for you xxx

 

[flisstebbs]

thanks girls will let you know!

 

[itisbabytime]

ok, finished bd-ing and as per the instructions, kept my legs up after. i just sort of lay flat with my knees pulled into my chest - is this ok or do i literally need to have them straight up against the wall or something?? worried as if you are at too high an angle the ahem "deposit" will pool behind your cervix

 

[CupcakeMummy]

Eeee Fliss it's all sounding so positive!!

My stalking is going to kick up a notch now you ladies are all later in your cycles.

I've told my DH about the SMEP and I think he wishes we were TTC already now!!

 

[flisstebbs]

Sorry girls, its a BFN this morning for me. No AF yet, but I suspect I am out this month, just relieved not to feel terrible for last week of the month! At least I get to SMEP again in August!!

Feeling a bit sad - was hoping to be preggers when my due date from the mc rolled round (26th Aug) - I think it will be tough now...
