@sunshine1987 same with the pinching. I'm also getting shooting pains in my boobs and am so emotional and tearful. Maybe af rearing its ugly head x

sunshine1987 · 24/10/2018 21:16

@mrsof20118 hopefully it’s not AF and all positive signs of something else 🤞🏻 how long have you got left this cycle? x

mrsof20118 · 24/10/2018 21:31

@sunshine1987 I'm 7dpo roughly and think I ov around cd19. May do a sneaky fr on Sunday x

Evening all!
This thread moves so fast, so hard to catch up!!
On cycle day 11 and dreading next week for managing to dtd around ov. So far this cycle, since af left, we have been like animals! Going at it every chance we have had.
Thinking next week will go either way, we will still be as horny as we have been, or will be totally knackered and will miss it completely 😖

ValidUser · 25/10/2018 00:27

I got some tonight!

mrsof20118 · 25/10/2018 06:57

@mrsof20118 Acht sorry for the dip. It is not completely down yet though is it? So you never know?

Delilah7 · 25/10/2018 07:28

@Rachael321 go girl!! Maybe give it a rest for the next few days and then get back on it?? Xx

@ValidUser waaaaahey good girl!!

These symptoms are doing my head in. Making me over think everything when I think I'm just getting unwell. Cramps, strange taste and nausea most mornings ( which I know isn't a sign of pregnancy yet as would be too early). X

Haha @validuser, this made me giggle at 6am 😂

sunshine1987 · 25/10/2018 07:30

@mrsof20118 you never know, it doesn’t look right down to where the cross line should be x

FlapJackered · 25/10/2018 09:19

@Delilah7 sound like promising symptoms! 🤞🏻

I haven't really had any symptoms but Shallow just came on the radio (from a Star is Born) and I started crying 😂 I loved that film but I don't really cry at things often so don't know what is going on? Hormonal! 🙄.

Delilah7 · 25/10/2018 09:20

@FlapJackered I think I'm just overthinking if I'm honest 😂 oh bless ya x x

Hi ladies, I did another opk test yest and got a much darker positive so going with that, dtd last night so just tonight and tomorrow to go, feel like I'm pinning a lot of hope on this month's cycle but I just can't seem to stop myself. There is a lot of hanky panky with this SMEP malarky ! I'm loving it but poor dh I can tell is not feeling it haha. How are any of the other SMEP girls doing ?

Hope you girls are not too far away from answers either way, with all the symptoms!

The clear blue tests are so much simpler than the opks but glad the positive did come and I suppose the cheapo have saved me some money this month!

sunshine1987 · 25/10/2018 11:13

@welshpugmumma I hear ya, this was our third SMEP cycle and my husband is probably going to kill me if I suggest anymore 😂

Welshpugmomma · 25/10/2018 11:25

@sunshine1987 I know right haha if it doesn't work this month we would probs do it every other month...

MrsC87 · 25/10/2018 11:29

@Welshpugmomma what I thought was positive opk last night wasn't, as got it this morning. So we dtd Tues night , last night and need to tonight and tomorrow.
Wasn't intending on doing smep but really want to cover all bases. Hubby is in a band and has a gig tonight so he will wake me up for a quickie when he gets home 😜🤣
It's hard work ttc lol x

FlapJackered · 25/10/2018 11:30

@Welshpugmomma @sunshine1987 my DH was the same too. He really struggled to enjoy it towards the end. I think it's easier for us girls in a way as we don't have to be so into it!

Delilah7 · 25/10/2018 11:53

@Welshpugmomma I tried to do SMEP but was such hard work so I will try again next month and with clearblue ovulation kits I think! Glad you're doing it at the right chance!! This could be your month! 😍

EltzBee · 25/10/2018 12:07

Oh gosh after googling SMEP I don't think we'd manage that all you, you girls have more stamina that me! lol

My app is well and truely confusing me; it's saying 4 or 5 days til doing a HPT, but still thinks AF is due tomorrow. Helpful..!

DH has been asked by work to go over to the States before Xmas, so did lose my temper a little yesterday when he told me - what if sods law he ends up having to go during fertile time so we 'lose' that whole month. Daft I know but really annoyed me!

Welshpugmomma · 25/10/2018 13:02

@Mrsc87 only a day between us then.. eek let's hope this is our month!
@delilah7 I bloody hope so :) I have my pregnant bestie coming to stay this weekend I haven't seen her since she told me, I hope I don't get upset seeing her :/ damn emotional girl I am!
@eltzbee it's frustrating when you think something's going to stop another month of trying... but no point in getting stressed about something you can't change:( just going to have to make the most of all things Christmas going on in Dec. And fingers crossed fw will fall whilst hubs is still around!

EltzBee · 25/10/2018 13:06

@Welshpugmomma I know, it's so silly to get frustrated but, gaah!

Not sure if I'm more annoyed about not knowing of AF is due tomorrow or sometime next week, or the US thing....lol

sunshine1987 · 25/10/2018 13:14

@eltzbee do you know when you ovulate each month? Can then work it out based on that? x

Delilah7 · 25/10/2018 13:29

@Welshpugmomma she should understand if you have a moment hun don't stress xxx

OP posts:
EltzBee · 25/10/2018 13:34

@sunshine1987 yeah, I ovulated a few days late this month though which is why I think it's confused.

Ovia thinks I'm due on tomorrow, but not to do a HPT test til next week (which makes me think it should really be updating my AF til then). Usually it's pretty accurate for my on when period is due so think it's just confused..

Fertility Friend after I've just imported all my data from Ovia since July, has now updated to say my AF is due 31st (next Wed) as it has recognised that I O'd late! On 7DPO today.

sunshine1987 · 25/10/2018 13:37

@eltzbee though it’s ugly FF is worryingly accurate for me down to a tee since I’ve started in January so would go with those dates. Flo used to never calculate my dates properly and changed my lutheal phase every month so never knew if I was late under I could see there was a pattern and worked it out myself x
