My Order Arrived!!

Finally, almost 2 weeks later, I got my order from Early Pregnancy online.  It was so hard not to POAS as soon as I walked in the front door and opened up the package.  I am going to wait until Saturday morning to start using the pregnancy ones.  I am so excited!  :)

SMEP?

I was just checking out some new threads on the BabyandBump site and noticed a conversation about "SMEP".  This is the first I have ever heard of this so I thought I would write it down as a reminder to try this plan in a few months when we TTC again.  Basically SMEP which stands for Sperm Meets Egg Plan.  Here is a quick breakdown of the plan:



- "Try" every other night starting Day 8 
- Buy 10 ovulation predictor kit sticks 
- Begin ovulation testing on Day 10 
- When test is positive, "try" that night, plus two additional nights in a row 
- Skip one night, then do one last "try" 
- Take a home pregnancy test 15 days after your ovulation test was positive, if your period has not begun 
- If your ovulation test never goes positive, continue "trying" every other night until Day 35, then do a pregnancy test if your period has not begun. 


Apparently it has good success rate for TTC after a miscarriage.  I have not had a miscarriage and neither have some of the people that were talking about it have.  But a few people are going to try it during the month of March, and I am curious to see if it works for them.  


I learn something new everyday and loving it.  :)

CD 21 - 4 DPO

Well not much happening today and yesterday.  I am very tired though, in bed by 9pm last night slept until 7am, and still quite tired.  So I caved and had a cup of coffee this morning.

Cd 20 - FF finally has O day CD 17

Looks like I am out this cycle :(  Woke up this morning and my temp increased again so FF gave an Ovulation day of Saturday March 3 (CD 17 which was 7 days after we BD).  Now I have 2 more months to track my cycle and get into shape as well as eat healthier before May when my hubby comes home and we will try again for a baby :)

CD 18 - New Blue Veins (not sure how many dpo)

I am now noticing some blue veins on my hip bone area, and over my pelvic area.  It could be nothing, but thought that I would post it anyways.  I really want to POAS!! lol

CD 18

Had some sharp pains on my lower left ovary area last night and again today off and on.  Same feeling as earlier this week I think.  The past 3-4 days I have been so tired, not sure if it is because I stopped drinking coffee for a week now.  I usually toss and turn when I sleep at night, but since I stopped drinking coffee I have been having a good solid sleep, but still tired when I get up.  Back is still sore as well, but my bobs are not sore at all.  Oh and I took a First Response hpt yesterday afternoon and it was negative :( but I know it's still early so I am going to wait until Friday to test again.

weird feeling in my stomach

So I forced myself to go back to bed, and for the next 3 hours, my stomach was so sore.  At first I thought I was hungry (at 4am??????) so I grabbed some crackers and water and went back to bed.  My stomach was still sore, and it was making weird noises, kind of like gas :S No matter what side I laid on, I was hurting.  I am going to try some organic tea now hopefully that will make my stomach better so I can try to take a nap later today.
