SMEP - feel free to join! :)

Or ovulation bleed. It certainly doesn't sound like a period as you'd just had one?

Sorry I skimmed read that and just saw your update. Could of been implantation bleed 👍

@Diamond94 do a pregnancy test 🤷‍♀️

The 2nd bleed was during when i shouldve ovulated btw! I put it on the app as AF which changed my date of ovulation to the 21st..

Hi ladies, looking for some advice. So i stopped mini pill 25th october, had a withdrawal bleed 26-29th november.. and 8 days later had another bleed, very light, didnt need a pad or anything, blood was pink in colour.. according to my app im due to ovulate the 21st.. iv been feeling nauseous, sore head, lethargic kind of feeling the last 2 days! I was wondering if anyone thinks the 2nd bleed could be ovulation or implantation bleeding?
Sorry if this doesnt make sense or sounds a bit crazy 🙈 im new to all of this!

Oh my goodness, when are you going to test if your periods late? This weekend?

@TunnocksTcake

@ChampooPapi No it should be here in 3 days if my luteal phase is the same this month...

#TunnocksTcake when's your af due? Is it this time next week pretty much?

Morning Ladies,

I am 11DPO now and dying to fast forward the next 3 days! My temp is still high which is the most unusual of my symptoms as it usually declines by 11dpo. I try not to take too much notice of physical symptoms at this point as I have had them all before on months when af has come, but was very tired over the weekend and headachey and sniffly! Not many cramps but had short boughts of nausea... who knows eh?
I hope the rest of you are doing ok!

Although if he was here today and tomorrow I would probably bd on those days just to cover all bases 💪

CD 21 so I'm done jumping on the man now, it's all about Christmas and wearing pyjamas as much as possible. I have actually lost track now with when we dtd, especially this last weekend, I know it was three times but I have no idea which days 😆
My other half came back last Wednesday instead of Thursday so I know ive done that dance around my ovulation, whenever that was!
It's been basically at every conceivable moment so all I can do now is wait.

@fayy123 i feel ok that you. Physically I have healed emotionally I feel putting my energy into Christmas and getting another bfp is helping distract me!
I told my DH all about SMEP over dinner on Saturday & thought he'd be horrified - he's the exact opposite he's wanted to bed every night since so should be a fun cycle 😍

Awh I really really hope that AF stays away for you! Would you usually be quite regular?

I'm due AF between 27-29th, first month tracking with OPK and BBT and ovulation came earlier than expected so unsure if that will make AF come sooner 🤔 only my 2nd cycle TTC #1 and I honestly had no idea how complex getting pregnant can be 🙈

I’m 7DPO.. ahaha I doubt it! Properly AF creeping up on her way lol! Well done! Hopefully a BFP soon! When are you due? X

@fayy123 what DPO are you? Could it be implantation bleeding?

I've followed SMEP to the dot this month 3 days DPO here so last BD tomorrow then that's the plan finished for this month. My app says I can take a pregnancy test Christmas day! How amazing would a BFP be 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Guys my period is not due for another week! And Ive got period like cramps right now but very mild.. just went to the toilet and when I wiped there’s literally the tiniest dots of blood on the toilet paper 😕😕😕😕 does this normally happen a week before AF

Niceee! Omg I’m literally getting period cramps, really feels like my period is about to start any second and It’s not due until next Sunday 😒

@fayy123 It really is draining!! I work in a vets, animal nursing assistant but I'm also the only receptionist for the small branch so I start early as I have to open up etc. AF is due 23rd

same!! Next month I’ll try to do it as much as I can! Ahhh just want to get preggo so I don’t have to think about this again 😭😭 it’s so draining thinking about it because it’s the only thing I’m thinking of.. and you’re so excited when you’re trying for your first! What do you work as? And when is your AF due?

@fayy123 Thank you, I hope so! You've done it more times than me, fingers crossed it's enough I think you've got a good chance!! :) I only BD on CD8, 10, 14 and 18 :( Currently CD 23. Fertility Friend and Flo apps predicted I ovulated on CD 16 going by my temperature and CM so I'm not bothered by trying to continue BD now will just do it if we want, but next month will really try more often haha.

Best of luck everyone and hopefully we'll start to see some BFP! I won't be testing unless AF doesn't show on time

Aww yeah it could just be not DTD enough because you’re both so young and seem to be fine etc.. hopefully you’ll get your BFP soon! This my first cycle ‘proper ttc’ and still don’t feel that I’ve done the deed enough myself. When was the last time you DTD? And how many times did you BD this cycle? I tried to use OPK sticks but didn’t get a positive so got fed up and stop testing half way.. DTD CD 7,8,12,14,15,20 currently on CD21 We are all mostly due our AF/ BFP around the same time on this thread x

Hi! @fayy123 Yeah at the beginning we thought we can do this but then it just all fell through haha! Stopped contraception all together about 3 years ago, but wasn't very consistent using it for some time prior to that (same DP). Have been more actively trying for over a year now, obviously it's been a long time but doctors didn't really take me seriously because we're both so young. I have had bloods, an external and internal ultrasound which were all fine, DP doesn't want to go for any tests yet.

I keep telling myself the reason we've not conceived is because previously we rarely DTD due to working hours. I use Fertility Friend and Flo to track.

How are you feeling? I've had some cramping yesterday and today.

Heyy! Welcome! DW SMEP is difficult to stick to espeacially when you’re both working full time and have draining jobs! I also tried it this month and failed epically lol. AF also due on the 21st. How long have you been TTC for? X and remember it only takes for it to happen one time at the right time for it to work! Do you use an app to track your fertile days? X

Hi all, mind if I join? I've been lurking but was trying to have a break from posting/obsessing!!

TTC no 1
Both 23
Lost count of cycle number, came off contraception 5 years ago for medical reason, used barrier methods for a while but became less so! Actually starting trying in the last couple of years.
Cycle day 23 (8DPO according to Fertility Friend).

I just started temping the last two cycles, ovulated CD18 last cycle and CD16 this one. Last cycle was off however as normally cycle length is 26/27 days but was 33 days as I ovulated late. Again ovulated late this cycle so AF due 23rd.

We tried SMEP but failed very early on! Only DTD CD8, 10, 14 and 18. Partner works evenings/nights and I start early so it's the working hours/time we struggle with!
