Right SMEP.. determined. Anyone else?

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

@Bbdm1984 increase in CM can be a good sign! When is AF due?

@Mich2020 you are very early to test so please don't feel too disheartened

Bbdm1984 · 08/09/2020 09:29

@Mich2020 you are still very early to test maybe leave it a couple of days and if you still have strong symptoms test again

Eurgh i made the mistake of testing yesterday, got the very clear 'not pregnant' ha, stupid really as it was the only test i had in and even if it had of come up with prgnant it wasnt even the digital with the weeks indicator in it. oh well i hope af comes soon as im running to the toilet quite often as i (tmi) feel massively 'wet' down there its so strange

Muda · 08/09/2020 08:05

@Mich2020 you said AF wasn’t due until 13th? So it’s still early days. Don’t give up hope just yet there is still time

That one does look negative @mich2020 you are so early though. I know it's super disheartening but unless you're 11/12 DPO it's very early to rule yourself out

You have approximately 10000000 x the amount of willpower I have!! I'd have ripped open that FRER already!

How many frers do you have @Mich2020...?

Yes they are an expensive habit but I got my first BFP on a FRER with an afternoon pee after getting a squinter on an IC atn11DPO.

@Mich2020 did you say you will do a frer tomorrow morning? 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

1940s · 07/09/2020 09:10

Maybe it's the angle @Mich2020 or the light but I can see more of a line in your first posted pic. Maybe do a urine hold and try this afternoon. If you've got a squinter on an IC then FRER will definitely show. Exciting!!!

It's very faint and hardly there in real life at all 🤔 had my coil out October 2018. Had periods return around March/April 2019 and ttc ever since. Other than these niggly pains and the increased CM and tiredness. Just feel normal boobs don't hurt or anything.
We dtd for about 7 days in a row through my entire fertile period 🙈 the smep didn't go to plan and we got carried away lol xx

@Mich2020 how long have you been trying? Have you stuck to smep? Anything new this month?

1940s · 06/09/2020 19:59

@Mich2020 I can see a squinter!!!!

Mich2020 · 06/09/2020 19:50

I really hope so. It's been a long time coming. I'll test with an IC probably every morning.. and then frer Tuesday morning if nothing then leave it another 2 days again. Don't want to get carried away too much with the expensive ones xx

Bbdm1984 · 06/09/2020 19:36

@Mich2020 in the past when i have been ready about symptoms tummy cramps and achey back are very common... eek i really hope you get your bfp when are you testing next? Xx

Mich2020 · 06/09/2020 19:31

They do sound like good symptoms though I'm
Keeping my fingers crossed that AF stays away for you.. I have weird pains in my stomach, and achy lower back. My CM is horrid. Loads of creamy white stuff and sorry tmi it was all in my knickers earlier and when I wiped it was quite a lot. That and tiredness that's all xx

OP posts:
Bbdm1984 · 06/09/2020 19:28

@Mich2020 due af from wednesday onwards, but really dont think i will need to test this month... only had some tmi sticky creamy cm this month (which i am sure i get just before af although never this early) those couple of sharp pains i had a couple of days ago have gone now... the only other weird thing i have going on is the skin on my fingers has all started peeling (i think i need to start taking vitamins ha) if i dont have af by friday i may test then. How are you any symptoms? Xx

Omg congratulations @Sleepyhead81 i am so happy for you. Im sorry @Mich2020 i cant see anything but i am absolutely rubbish at seeing lines and it would still be very early. I can see me being the only one that fails this month but i do have 🤞 both you @Mich2020 and @1940s get those bfp this month xx
