(...or poke me in the right direction of an existing one?)

We've been fannying around ttc#2 for a while now, and I'm starting to feel deflated Sad

What do you think? Have you tried it? Doing it? Can we even do that much shagging? Blush

Failing that, can you kick me up the arse to cheer me up? Grin

Me too :( slightly ahead of you at 14dpo and (usually) a 12 day luteal phase! All tests bfn so have accepted AF is coming, just wish she would hurry up!

GuessHowMuch · 30/11/2015 20:17

Twelve DPO today, but I've got my usual period pain so think it's just a waiting game. Hate hate hate waiting!

queenoftheworld93 · 29/11/2015 23:35

Still no BFP or AF Confused

Very uncomfortable tummy tonight though, all churny and nauseous! Mild cramps though so guess it is just AF preparing to turn up.

Guess - how many days po are you? Fx for you Smile

GuessHowMuch · 29/11/2015 23:09

Oh no All - the things women have to go through Shock Hope it's just a plain old through your tummy ultrasound and nothing too ... ahem... intimate! Sounds exciting Queen - any news? I'm holding off testing until Thursday (so tempted by the FRER I have tucked away) but fully expect AF Tues or Weds. I'm going to make an effort to do a bit of romancing the old DH this month (as well as making him stick ridgidly to SMEP too of course!).

queenoftheworld93 · 28/11/2015 23:59

Allthedinosaurs how very romantic Wink

Hello again smeppers! I am crossing all my fingers and toes over here because I'm 12dpo with AF due tonight, no BFP but no spotting/AF either. Got a frer at the ready for if I'm late!

If I'm not pregnant, I shall drag DH underneath all the trees with mistletoe in them and make him kiss me until I am. Not really sure what else to try Grin

We have not been particularly good at smepping either this month. Got a few goes in around the important times though, so fx.

Guess they are looking for any damage from a surgery/complication I had whilst pregnant last time and I suppose just to have a look at it all. It says "Pelvic Ultrasound". I'm hoping that's not the one that goes ~ahem~ inside Blush

Clara, how much left of the TWW?

We are putting our tree up tomorrow ~festivedance~ DH wants us all to do it as a family, so tomorrow it is!

Thanks ALLthedinosaurs. Good luck wiht your scan and bloods

Clara101 · 27/11/2015 19:40

Hi all, well I'm in the TWW but don't think I'm pg as life got in way and not enough smepping.. Anyway Christmas soon so gonna enjoy the run up which is my favourite part. How's everyone else?

GuessHowMuch · 27/11/2015 11:33

Hope your scan goes well All. Are they looking for something in particular or is it exploratory? I'm due AF between Tue and Thu. Don't feel pregnant at all (I knew before I took the HPT last time) so looking forward to cycle two of Smep. Hopefully will do it properly this time and life won't get in the way so much! Looking forward to 1st Dec too - that's when I'm officially allowed to start feeling Christmassy! Will be having wine or a BFP in early December!

Hi soundsystem, welcome! I'm on my second cycle of SMEP now after too long. Think I'm in the TWW - refusing to think about it or look at ovia Wink

I had my GP appt yesterday. Got a form for bloods but I'm too late in the cycle this month so waiting for next. Got to go and organise a scan appointment asap as well due to complications last time. That's the bit I am nervous about Sad

DH has been given a pot and is obviously pretty chuffed with his side of the agreement, lol Grin

Hello all

May I join in? Just stumbled across this thread and read up on SMEP and think it's worth a shot. Been ttc #2 for 10 months now!

Good luck everyone.

Guess, you never know... With DS1, we only did it once in the month Blush

We are in the same boat because that positive was a little earlier than expected. We managed yesterday for fun but this morning, happily peed on the stick before my bath and was shocked when I got out Grin

Glad we did it yesterday now!

OP posts:
GuessHowMuch · 24/11/2015 19:52

I'd definitely go with that as a positive. Good luck Smile ! I'm a bit fed up today because I got a positive OPK last week but for various reasons only managed to DTD the day before the OPK and the day of the positive itself - so not holding out much hope this cycle. Have promised myself I won't test either unless period is a day late - I'm one of those that hates a negative test more than AF. Where is everyone else up to? Anyone due to test early Dec?

Morning everyone! How are we all? I've had a horrendous couple of days, but I am not on the annual leave of shagging and I'm a bit less miserable Grin

Soo, could someone reassure me? This is a positive OPK, right? Or just about to be? Do I start the three days of shagging today? Help!

Would anyone like to join me in a SMEP thread?

queenoftheworld93 · 21/11/2015 11:13

Hello dinosaurs, hope you are feeling less gloomy! I am 5dpo today and temps have stayed up so I guess I definitely ovulated on cd11! Wish we had started to DTD earlier but we caught o-1 (twice) and o so guess that will have to do! Didn't start using preseed until after then though which is a shame.

Feeling weirdly chilled out since I got AF, none of the urgency of last cycle Hmm watch this be the cycle I get BFP!

Where is everyone else at?

ALLthedinosaurs · 20/11/2015 21:28

Evening everyone! Where and how are we all now? I've been in an acute post AF gloom the last few days. Would quite like to snap out of it soon Hmm

Also had the kind of day at work that reminded me that my problems are not really problems Flowers

Nevlet, perhaps you O'd earlier than you thought??

Ovia says I'm CD6, so I'm edging closer to that window!

OP posts:
queenoftheworld93 · 19/11/2015 17:41

Nevlet I think 5dpo is a little early but could you have miscalculated ov?

Ovulated at cd16 last month, and FF has calculated that it was cd11 this month? Only dotted crosshairs but that would make me 3dpo already... It's going quickly this month!

Nevlet · 19/11/2015 17:21

Thanks mimi! Just been to the loo and had streaks of pink in cm... Is that possible implantation as just 5dpo?

Mimilicious013 · 19/11/2015 12:29

Another 5 or so days for you Nevlet.fxfx.hope u feel better soon.

Nevlet · 19/11/2015 11:30

Morning girls! Where are we all at now... I am 5dpo and trying not to symptom spot but feel bloody awful today!

Mimilicious013 · 19/11/2015 06:38

Lots of luck Guess.enjoy bding!!
