SMEP - feel free to join! :)

@bluemoon2468 I didn't want to leave you hanging as I'd just posted but I really don't understand these things I'm afraid. Hopefully me posting will help in the way as it'll bump the thread so you can get help!

I've posted this on a couple of threads but I'm super confused and desperate for answers (or guesses)! I'm CD20, and supposedly 4DPO. The first picture is my chart this cycle. I had positive OPKs on CD8, 14 and 15, and two rises in temp (which happens to me every month), but Natural Cycles ignored the first one and says I ovulated on CD16. Today my temp took a massive dip as you can see - if it were in a few days time, I'd say possible implantation dip? But it's too early. This never happens to me really - I've attached two of my other charts from months I wasnt pregnant for a comparison. Can anyone shed any light on what might be going on?

@danielasummer I know it's said a lot on here but you are not out until your period arrives. The body is a weird and wonderful thing and you could test tomorrow and get that line.

But if af does arrive we are all here for you so please update us, we are here to support you too! After all the love and kindness you've shown on here with this amazing thread you started, it's our turn to hold you 🤗

Keeping realistic is so important for us as well I know because over excitement builds so much hope and although we obviously can't control ourselves thinking 'just maybe I'm pregnant this time' because of our losses we have to keep our feet on the ground too. Such a different experience this ttc then the last time we caught isn't it? I do think that not being pregnant this month going into February we can both feel really positive because statistics are by month 6 like 75 percent of women get pregnant and have babies in their arms 9 months later.

It'll month 4 for us won't it in Feb so chances are good 🌱👣🌈

I on the other hand after all the bfp fantastic news almost did a pregnancy test this morning , luckily logic prevailed! Supposed to test next Tuesday if no af Monday 🙄🤞

@NCON my 12 week scan is 25th feb. I was thinking of gettin an early scan but like you i am afraid haha. So unless im worried i dont plan on gettin one. I will have a few things on over the next few weeks so im kinda breaking it down counting every two weeks. So far so good.

Congrats @HE88 yes my boobs just feel heavy all the time. OH has noticed they are bigger but i think its just in his head haha. Also my skin is lovely and soooo soft. Oh and i had a lot of extra CM and just wanted sex all the time. And it was always amazing ahah.

Yes i DTD every other day. Didnt use OPKs or anything but noticed EWCM so DTD every day for 5/6 days then back to every other day. Its so exciting that theres a few BFP. I hope it gives the rest of thw girls a boost.

@NCON thank you 😊. Aw my boobs are sore all day and night and have been since I found out the joys ha ha. It was my 1st time trying SMEP so stuck to it pretty much as it tells you too. How about you?

@HE88 congratulations! So glad to hear there are others with no sickness 😊 I was a bit worried but seems like maybe morning sickness/nausea isn't as common as I previously thought 🤷 no mad CM for me, from time to time maybe but not constant at all. Boobs are fine during the day but at night oh my gosh they are so sore to the point it wakes me if I turn over 😂 did ye both (@lucy5546 too) stick to SMEP before your BFP's?

@NCON @Lucy5546 I'm 5 weeks 6days so a week behind you both but man the exhaustion is unreal and my boobs are so so sore and so full looking 😂. Plus I've also had loads of cm but no sickness yet!

Thanks again @ChampooPapi I followed SMEP to the dot so I'm convinced that's what worked!

@lucy5546 my scan isn't till Feb 24th so feels like miles away. What about you? R u gonna have an early scan? I don't want to get one and I don't even know why 😂 think I'm afraid they will say there is nothing there so I'd strangely rather wait till 12 weeks so at least if all is good then I can breathe a sigh of relief 🤔

@NCON oh i am 7 weeks 1day. And like you i am just exhausted and nipples are sore. Im so glad to hear somebody else isnt feeling sick yet. I was beginning to think there was something wrong. When is your scan?

@champoopapi thanks for checking in and no I didn't. I was rather relieved to be honest.

@NCON amazing news! Absolutely thrilled for you and now your seven weeks already!. I always obviously hope that people who don't update have got pregnant but this is such good news for our thread.

Major win for smep and all the best to you @NCON , fantastic news 👣✨

Hi @ChampooPapi thanks for checking in! I got my BFP on Christmas day, 1st month of SMEP and using preseed! Ment to come back to update but it still doesn't feel quite real 🙈 7weeks 2 days now and no sickness at all, only symptoms is tiredness and sore boobs particularly at night. Counting down the days till 12 week scan lol.

How r u getting on?

@Healthypositivity did you get your bfp yet 🤞✨

@NCON @TunnocksTcake how are you ladies doing? Went back to the beginning of the thread by accident and realized hadn't seen you guys post in a while. @TunnocksTcake how's pregnant life treating you? Have you been bitten by the sickness, it can be the worst thing ever that's for sure

God this month is dragging isn't it! I'm still a week away from af or testing for me. I hate wishing this time away!

How is everyone doing?

@Bunny2006 so sorry to hear that. Sometimes my BBT doesn't drop until the middle-end of my AF.

Aw @Bunny2006 sorry to hear that. Xx

Sadly AF is here today :( Without a drop in BBT?!

@Bunny2006 thank you 😊. I really hope you get your bfp sending you lots of baby dust xx

@HE88 Glad your endometriosis was treated, and with great success now you're expecting! xx

@Pixielou16 I also had a moment yesterday as a friend from college/later work announced the birth of her baby, obviously I am happy for her but also gutted for myself that it hasn't happened yet.

I can't decide whether to do a test. I only have one FRER in the house, may use tomorrow if my BBT is still high, or if I can hold out until Tuesday.

@fayy123 I wouldn't say irregular but my cycles could be between 30 - 35 days. That's not the reason why my endo was found it was through and internal scan an endometrioma was found on my ovary so this made them query endometriosis which was found when I had my laparoscopy. Xx

@HE88 awww well congratulations!! Did you have irregular periods when you discovered your endo?

@Pixielou16 keeping everything crossed for you.

@Bunny2006 ah ok that's a shame your partner won't get tested especially since you have been trying for so long. I ended up getting treated for endometriosis which is the reason I hadn't fallen pregnant sooner.

@fayy123 no I had been using opks for about a year and a half but ended up stopping when I was going through my treatment for endometriosis. I started using them again after my op. The only thing I did different was follow SMEP but I think my op has made a big difference too.
