I'm on CD 7 and am going to follow the smerm meets egg plan this month - is anybody in the same part of their cycle? Thought we could encourage and help each other out :)

Squeky still doing ok. And will soon be joining you reacting and searching google for every possible symptom.

And bless DH he is already going into protective mode 'just in case' and wouldn't let me carry the shopping or use the vacuum.

I still seem to be getting positives on the IC opks. Any idea on how long should that last???

Squeakybeaky · 09/02/2014 19:54

When you say positive do you mean the test line is still as dark or darker than the control line?

Yes it's still as dark as the control line Confused. Didnt temp this morning but will try and remember tomorrow to see if that sheds some light.

I think I probably OV on Friday or Saturday but we haven't been able to get up to much action. So on DTD on Thursday and Sunday. I feel a bit sick at the thought of another 2ww. I feel like I'm going a bit freaking crazy. I guess the best thing is to just spend the next 2 weeks DTD for fun and trying not to symptom spot. :)

Just wanted to wish you all the best of luck. I joined a SMEP thread last May after a year of TTC with nothing to show for it but disappointment. I'm now holding a gorgeous 1 week old baby boy. Hope it works out as successfully for you too.

hazchem · 10/02/2014 06:37

Oh congratulations Thanks

Squeakybeaky · 10/02/2014 10:06

Awwwww lovely, thanks for sharing your success story with us :)

Congrats thingymajigs :-)

MarvellousMechanicalMouseOrgan · 10/02/2014 11:29

I'm getting fed up of the OPK strips, I've been testing every day since day 6, and have never got a positive, even though yesterday I started with CM and an achey abdomen. I have a faint line, but it definitely isn't as dark as the control line.

atyourage · 10/02/2014 14:14

Thanks squeaky, still going. CD17 today and STILL showing low on the CBFM. Grrr, only have one stick left so had to do mad dash into town to get some more. Have told DH that I will need him again tonight, he thinks he has won the lottery! How are your heavy boobs?? Wink

marvellous I have used to IC strips this month for the first time. Heard mixed reviews about them. I have been getting 2 lines for about 5 days (fainter than the control), the last 2 days just one line then last night 2 lines. I'm not sure If I trust them. If you got CM yesterday then I would listen to your body and get DTD! Grin

Squeakybeaky · 10/02/2014 14:35

The ic opks worked for me and I got 2 days of definite positives.

Boobs are still feeling heavy but not as sore Hmm it's all going so slowly!!

Oh thingymajigs, what a lovely story, I love hearing success stories! I did an opk test on Wednesday night that was immediately very positive, it seemed to suck the ink out of the control line! We dtd on Wednesday and Thursday but didn't manage Friday. I'm hoping that hasn't affected our chances this month. I think I'm 4dpo so hopefully going to test this time next week. I'm wishing the week away!

smorgasborgen · 10/02/2014 16:42

good luck everyone! good t hear a good success with SMep story. ten dpo now and brown cm started two day ago, nooooo!!!!!! Angry

Bobo13 · 10/02/2014 17:32

Oh, could that maybe be implantation at 10 dpo smorgasborgen?? Let us know how you get on over the next couple of days.

smorgasborgen · 10/02/2014 17:41

one moment I think oooo maybe, then I think no its not. its driving me mad!! Confused

Squeakybeaky · 10/02/2014 18:30

Have you tested smorgasbord? 10dpo may well show something x

OP posts:
BumpNGrind · 10/02/2014 18:32

Sporgasbogen, I'd be testing if I were you, but then I've been in the middle of a full on period and still wondering if maybe I'm pregnant. I hope its implantation for you

smorgasborgen · 10/02/2014 19:18

I can't face it t tell u the truth! I'd be so sad! esp as then I would have t wait for the witch t arrive!
I have a couple of angry spots on my chest, just bellow my collar bone is that a symptom?! god I'm sad.

Bobo13 · 10/02/2014 19:59

Hold off a few days and see if anything comes of it.
My friend got spots on her back when she was pregnant, but then I generally get 1 or 2 spots around af.

Bobo13 · 10/02/2014 19:59

And you're sooo not sad!!! It's only natural to get emotional about this! X

hazchem · 10/02/2014 22:20

I'd wait until you are over due to test. Last month I tested the day I was due but got a negative and then had my period come the next day If fucking sucked. Symptom spotting is pretty normal to do. FX for you.

Squeakybeaky · 11/02/2014 10:50

Is everyone ok? How are you doing smorgasbord?

OP posts:
Sleepingstarsmommy · 11/02/2014 11:51

I'm good although my stomach still feels tender. Not exactly painful but Im definitely aware of it. Not sure whether its anything significant - when I get a chance later I'll ask Dr Google and dry myself crazy analysing every twinge both real and imaginary

smorgasborgen · 11/02/2014 16:11

feeling OK but tired and a little faint every now and again.. fleeting so u think did I just feel that or was that my imagination!
still bleeding a bit though....hmmmm

was talking t an agency nurse today and she said that she bled a bit everyday for a while! she went t the doctors and it turned out she was three months prego!
as u can imagine... that only got my hopes up! Hmm

Squeakybeaky · 11/02/2014 16:43

Sounds promising smorgasbord. By the way aware I call you smorgasbord and that isn't ur name but it comes up as predictive and so easier just to go with it!

My symptoms today are mostly that my boobs are falling out my bra! I am almost certain they are bigger!! Had a few sharp cramps pains down below too.

Keep going everyone!! Wink
