Right SMEP.. determined. Anyone else?

260 replies

Mich2020 · 20/08/2020 20:42

Hey all
I've been ttc for a long time, I had my lap and dye last week which removed all endo visible and unstuck my left ovary from my tube. My tubes are clear. The horrible bleeding that I had after is coming to an end. I'm very determined to try everything I can this month and the following months if I fail.
I have read about this SMEP and I've heard good things about it.
Today I am CD 5 so I am going to start dtd tonight instead of the recommendation of CD 8. I done an ovulation test today (just for fun) there's a second line but very much not positive so going to keep doing them twice a day until I get my surge. Also have some cb advance ones coming tomorrow.

My question is how many people have used this method and been successful on here? Would love to keep chatting to people through these next 6 months if possible as this is kind of the last hurdle before more fertility tests are taken for both me and my DP xx

@Mich2020 how are you today? Did you do a test with your Fmu?

Thank you though @Bbdm1984 this is the first one I've actually been kinda excited about, the others kept fading into nothing and this one is still visible on the stick hours later. I still haven't had another wee so for the hell of it I'll dip another later and see what happens x

This is inverted. Does that help?x

I have terrible line eyes and cant see anything but i have absolutely everything crossed for you. I would maybe ring my gp office and ask for hcg beta bloods if i was having positives like you are to get them to confirm x

Best of luck Mich, I hope the clear blue will come up nice and strong!

Oh Mich. can you do a FRER with FMU?

Original poster

Mich2020 · 15/09/2020 19:57

This was a 25mui one. Definitely something there. I'm worried this is going to end badly. Been reading up about slow rising hcg. Usually indicates bad news x

In The meantime I will keep using these cheapies. My period will officially be late tomorrow. Unless I ovulated later but I did use opks so I don't know 🤷🏻‍♀️ late implantation maybe. So confusing. Or nothing. Maybe AF is just late x

@1940s yes guess your right. I will see how the clearblue go. The frers ive been using are from amazon. I've heard a lot of bad things about them lately. The shops close to me don't sell them. Only clearblue so thought amazon best bet for them instead x

OP posts:

1940s · 14/09/2020 20:48

It's a guess.... I just think a FRER would pick up pregnancy hormone even on a chemical. I've never seen ICs to produce such such faint faint lines consistently whilst FReRs stay stark white

Original poster

Mich2020 · 14/09/2020 20:34

@1940s can that happen?x

OP posts:

1940s · 14/09/2020 20:15

This is so bizarre. Even a chemical would be picked up on a FRER for at least one day. I really think these ICs are picking up LH or another protein in your urine.

Another faint IC 😐😐 so confused

OP posts:

Mich2020 · 13/09/2020 12:20

Usually with ICs I get stark white. No squinting no nothing. These seem different. Maybe it's a chemical. Maybe I don't know. I woke up this morning with what I thought was af cramps. But they have gone and no bleeding whatsoever 😐 wish I had a clear answer x

OP posts:

1940s · 13/09/2020 12:17

Oh that sounds torturous Mich. I've had a few Evaps in my time but usually quick quickly confirmed by other tests that day or the day after so I've never been in limbo for more than a couple of hours. I do recall with my first pregnancy vowing never to use ICs again as I never really trust them, despite FRERs being an expense habit I do trust them.

Mich2020 · 13/09/2020 12:12

Yep 😩 haven't taken another today. But if no AF by tomorrow morning I might try the last one then. CD29 today. X

OP posts:

1940s · 13/09/2020 12:01

And FRER is still completely stark white?! Oh this is so stressful

Original poster

Mich2020 · 13/09/2020 11:57

This is a new batch @1940s 😭 just want AF to start now so I know where I am x

OP posts:

1940s · 13/09/2020 11:55

Oh @Mich2020 really seems like a bad batch of tests. Maybe it's picking up levels of LH or something instead?

Original poster

Mich2020 · 13/09/2020 09:57

Oh I'm sorry @1940s hope your okay ☹️ still getting the same faint line son ICs as I was last week. Don't think this is good news for me either 😭
