I’m on CD6. Starting SMEP for the first time in 2 days. Anyone else? Let’s encourage and support each other. 😀

Omg. Bless you @Baby3herewego ❤️ Sending big hugs and love. Have you gone to the mat unit? How are you now?

I think I’m going through a chemical pregnancy and I’m beside myself. I woke up as normal. Went to the loo and there was blood when I wiped, then it started dripping out of my and something plopped into the toilet. It was fairly big and looked like a huge blood clot. I was too scared to pick it out and look at it properly though. That was 6:30 this morning and I’m still bleeding loads. My doctors are so busy they I’m not even being added to the waiting queue and then maternity unit isn’t answering the phone…

@chasingtherainbow1 congratulations this seems to be one happy positive thread. Let's hope it continues. I'm now 4dpo and hoping this week doesn't pass by too slowly. We have booked a holiday for September so can do some holiday planning to keep me distracted

chasingtherainbow1 · 24/07/2022 22:56

Thanks guys! Fingers crossed they keep coming for everyone 🤞

Congratulations @chasingtherainbow1 thats a great line for 10dpo!

chasingtherainbow1 · 24/07/2022 20:34

Got a BFP on easy at home yesterday at 9DPO and this today at 10DPO. I have had 3 miscarriages so just expecting the worst again but I wanted to share for anyone thinking about doing SMEP. This was our first try at doing SMEP after 5 cycles of nothing!

@Blessedmummytobe @EdinburghGirl1 all good here. Feeling really good. Needing to go to bed around 8:30 as I’m shattered by then. Keep dreaming about twins 🙈

Have a wonderful day today! Keep us posted with the test today @Blessedmummytobe and keep all the good throughts with any signs and symptoms @EdinburghGirl1

Thanks @Blessedmummytobe I know we did the most important ones. Just me being silly and emotional. I didn't sleep that well the night before which doesn't help. Just need to get through the waiting game now. Keeping my fingers crossed for you today

Good morning all!

wishing everyone a lovely Sunday!

@Baby3herewego I am good over here…felt a lil like AF was coming yesterday and today is when I would be due so I will take that second test at some point today.

@EdinburghGirl1 don’t be stressed. The 2nd of the three days is most important anyway as it can catch the oldest swimmers from a quick early ovulation, the fast ones from a late ovulation on the third day. Also it’s like to be the day you ovulate so you are definately still in the game!

Hi @Baby3herewego I'm 3dpo today. I was hoping to get in the final BD for SMEP last night but OH was tired 😔 which got me all emotional and upset! Crazy hormones probably not helping. Feeling a bit meh today now. Feel like this week is going to drag. How are you doing?

Baby3herewego · 24/07/2022 08:17

How are all you lively ladies doing today??

Baby3herewego · 22/07/2022 20:32

@Blessedmummytobe I’ve been feeling great. A little tired but other than that really good. Xx

Hi @Pepilachat stay positive! If it doesn’t happen this month, try again. If you have just come off the pill it could take a while. Have you been tracking?

@Baby3herewego how are you?

i have felt a bit rotten tbh. Keep having the chills shivers bony ache tiredness and awful cramps. Almost feels like flu or covid but haven’t tested as it does seem to keep coming and going x

@Pepilachat pale pink? That’s normally implantation colour. You could take a test and see? I got my positive at 10dpo xxx

Thank you, I appreciate your optimism!

But I think it is probably a bit too much for implantation bleeding. Have put a cup in and if it stops I will test in a couple of days, but I don't have high hopes. Plus this is also how my last AF started (seems to be the new way since coming off the pill).

A little disappointed but this is only my first cycle trying, so I can't complain too much.

Pepilachat · 22/07/2022 13:43

I think I am out everyone, 11dpo and pale pink discharge on wiping so assuming AF is on its way 😢.

Almost glad it is a bit early so I can move onto next cycle. Really happy for you all though! How exciting to have so many positives!

Clairey3010 · 22/07/2022 08:34

@Blessedmummytobe I did indeed, also on digital, still hasn't sunk in yet

EdinburghGirl1 · 22/07/2022 08:29

thanks @Blessedmummytobe and @Baby3herewego and no this will be my second child. I already have a 5 year old DD with my ex husband but this will be my partner's first

Fingers crossed for you @EdinburghGirl1 you got this!!!

EdinburghGirl1 · 22/07/2022 06:46

@Baby3herewego yes we DTD Wednesday night and last night so managed 3 days in a row. Not sure if we will manage tonight as well. We'll see but happy with what we have done and think it's pretty covered as also DTD Saturday and Sunday. Only day we didn't was Monday. Now the wait begins 😒

Baby3herewego · 22/07/2022 06:40

Did you get some more in @EdinburghGirl1 🙊xx

EdinburghGirl1 · 20/07/2022 10:25

Thanks @Baby3herewego we dtd last night and plan to try tonight and next 2 days to try follow SMEP and see what happens. Suppose it was just earlier than I'd expected but then at least that means I have less time to wait until I can test Smile
