May BFP Bus

Kellz ah that's hard then, did you presume you would get pregnant quite quickly?

What do you actually do during the SMEP? I've read loads of people have tried it but I've not properly looked in to it!

THe cough syrup I have gone for is Robitussin - to be honest I was searching for OPK sticks and it came up as 'people who bought these also bought' so I was interested!

Trying to persuade my DH to do the SMEP which I'd not heard of until today - he thinks that might be a bit of pressure on him!!

minty ah right, makes sense I guess. Really shit though. When do you expect AF this time? It might be slightly delayed after the chemical from what I've heard people say. Haha yeah it wasn't etd last time I was on the buses!

Kellz did it take a while to conceive your DD? How old is she again? That's why we're starting early though, no idea what will happen this time. I'm really hoping to get pregnant before I get stressed with it. How are you feeling about cycle 10?

Duhhh!! thank you Han!

minty estimated test date! So basically when next AF is due haha

Oooh and I forgot to ask, what is etd on the list above?

Sunny I wasn't sure about this myself but when my DP called NHS 111 (he was panicking, bless him!) they said a chemical pregnancy is actually a very early miscarriage - I think (pls anyone correct me if I am wrong!) a chemical or 'very early miscarriage' can happen up to 6 weeks, before anything can be detected on ultrasound scan. Basically, the sperm fertilises the egg but the egg then fails to survive. So unsure if AF has anything to do with it but I was 4 weeks and 2 days when my tests turned negative. But anyways, here's to lots of BFP's!!

Oh sorry yeah you said your chemical was cycle 3, my fault. Is that not a miscarriage then though if it happened after AF was due? I thought a chemical was just before AF was due and then AF arrives on time? Sorry if that's an insensitive question.

I did, my first positive was 4 days before AF was due using FRER's, I had bfp's until AF was 5 days late and they then turned negative and the rest followed soon after so I wont be testing early next time! I have heard the same too, so fingers crossed. I think I said cycle 3 above but it's cycle 4!

Hope this is all looking ok!

Yeah I bet. Did you test early? I've heard quite a few people say they got pregnant again very quickly after a chemical so hope that's the case for you too! What cycle are you on?

Thanks Han and Sunny it was cruel as we got sooo excited about our little mini Minty but it just wasn't meant to be. So onwards and upwards! Looking forward to sharing our journeys

Sorry minty that must be absolute crap. Hope for a BFP for you soon.

I wouldn't care about Christmas or January if it wasn't for DS birthday and me not wanting to be away from him, but it still might happen- babies come when they want (or get evicted...)

Laughed at the overshares! I've heard about the cough medicine for EWCM. I get an insane amount so I've not tried it but I've heard of plenty of people who have!

I need to reassess my stats. Yesterday was just spotting so I'm calling today CD1. I might dig the laptop out later and update the stats list!

Oh minty I am so sorry. That must be gutting :(
Fingers crossed you get another bfp soon and that it's a sticky one!

Can I hop on too please ladies?

Cycle 3 - I got a week of lovely BFP's earlier this month but it turned into a chemical so I am back in the game.

CD6 - counting first day of bleeding from chemical as CD 1.

Fingers crossed for some lovely spring BFP's!

everdene sorry I'm late with this (busy few days haha) but the cough syrup thing works... at least that's how I got my bfp last time round .
Just make sure the ONLY active ingredient is guafenisin, if there's any decongestant in there it will have the opposite effect! I'm definitely getting on the guafenisin action this month, I'm severly lacking in ewcm so hoping it will help things along.

CD 16 and planning to dtd like mad as I've had a positive opk. Getting quite a lot of cramps on the left so wondering if that could be ovulation pains. I completely confused ff as it had said I already ovulated, now it is in a huff saying it can't work out what is going on.

Planning to do SMEP type plan and dtd today, tomorrow and Friday if I can.

everdene it seems there were a few people avoiding conceiving last month so they didn't get a Christmas baby.

giraffes I cannot believe he told her!! I'd be mortified!! I also don't mind the idea of a tribe of girls- I absolutely definitely would not buy them all ponies

I also didn't realise people were so obsessed about this- I'm pretty sure I don't care when future DC is born so long as I get pregnant quickly enough not to become a raving loony!!! January would make a change in OHs family as someone had a birthday pretty much every month but that one!!
