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

@Baby3herewego very true Smile

Baby3herewego · 18/07/2022 11:11

@EdinburghGirl1 that sounds like a very good plan. Keep us posted. Remember, if you have the energy, nothing bad will come from bding every day sometimes 😁

Baby3herewego · 18/07/2022 11:09

@Blessedmummytobe feeling good today. Just went to the loo and have some pale pinky in my underwear so I think that’s a good sign.

how do you feel today?

EdinburghGirl1 · 18/07/2022 08:27

@Blessedmummytobe I thought you where ahead of me… 8dpo is normally too early for a positive. Do you still want to try tomorrow or shall we hold off till Tuesday? Xx

Hiya @Baby3herewego I went out with a friend to take my mind off it but I still felt drained as if AF is en route but still super early tbh. I did have some white discharge before (tmi sorry!) but we shall see…

How are you feeling?

Baby3herewego · 15/07/2022 20:48

@Blessedmummytobe feeling any better this evening lovely? X

chasingtherainbow1 · 15/07/2022 16:08

@Baby3herewego they were both peak, like darker than the control line. I've tried to do some googling to see and it looks like you should accept the first one as positive. I've been given progesterone to take 4dpo and just contemplating day will be best and when to stop dtd.

EdinburghGirl1 · 15/07/2022 16:08

@Baby3herewego go you! Fingers crossed for you. Hopefully the rest of the tww passes quickly. I'm excited to hear how you get on

@Baby3herewego Awww man. I feel not so positive ☹️ I haven’t had any cramping today really. I did get a strong pang of nausea earlier and again earlier I had the feeling I get when AF is due but that’s not for Another week for me. So gutted tbh. @EdinburghGirl1 welcome!

OP posts:
Baby3herewego · 15/07/2022 15:57

@Blessedmummytobe the cramping is on another level and don’t even get me started on the back ache. Just had a teeny streak of vvvvvv pale pink in my cm when I wiped so will be keeping my eyes on that now.

how are you feeling now?

Baby3herewego · 15/07/2022 15:55

@chasingtherainbow1 are they positives or peek? It’d normally from the peek that it will happen within 12-24 hours.

chasingtherainbow1 · 15/07/2022 14:27

We have done it for the first time this month. I got positive opk's yesterday and the day before. Does that mean I would ovulate 12-48 hours after the first positive test or the second?

We've been dtd anyway and plan on again tonight but not sure if we should do an extra day too. It's so tiring 😂

Baby3herewego · 15/07/2022 14:21

Hello @EdinburghGirl1 SMEP turn into everyday for us 😂6dpo today so not too much longer to wait

EdinburghGirl1 · 15/07/2022 12:01

Hi I am planning on trying SMEP this month too so thought I'd join. On CD5 or cycle 2 ttc but after reading lots about it thought I'd give it a go to increase our chances
