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

@Blessedmummytobe hmmm I’ve only ever read and been told it’s around 5 days. I’m on CD20 so planning on testing a week today (hubs birthday) my apps are saying I can start testing on Monday but I want to try to hold off a bit longer.

@Baby3herewego a lot of places ot says sperm lives upto 5 days but I have also seen that it’s more like 0.7-1.4 days. Well I’m on CD 21 today. So im going to try and wait another week. Just had some cramping but not sure it’s that’s because I only just had something to eat for the first time today. How about you? X

@Blessedmummytobe sperm can live for quite a while so fingers crossed there were lots of swimmers waiting for when your egg was released. What day are you planning on testing? Xx

Hopefully! @Baby3herewego I’m praying it is. Though I can’t help thinking that missing the day before ovulation peak and day 3 of SMEP (every day bit) is gonna bite me on the arse. 😩

@Blessedmummytobe maybe a good sign for both of us!!

Heyyy!

Hows everyone doing?

I had the sharp pains a few days ago. Cant remember exactly when tbh but closer to ovulation. I had a twinge today - a dull ache and not painful at all. I have been feeling very much how I feel when AF is about to show up aswell so hoping those are good cramps.

Still 11 days wait for me…sigh.

I’m gonna have to keep busy and make the most of the weather as a distraction.

@Clairey3010 fingers crossed! I’m only 4 or 5 dpo today so hopefully it’s a good sign this early on xx

Clairey3010 · 13/07/2022 16:56

@Baby3herewego I had what I could only describe as electric shocks low down on the right side around 6dpo, not painful but a strange feeling, only lasted about 10 seconds! Hopefully a good sign for you

HeartNutella · 13/07/2022 16:04

Hey everyone.

Hope you don't mind me joining. Good luck to everyone this cycle.

I'm CD11 and I did the clearblue digital ovulation test today and it says I'm high fertility with the flashing smiley. So going to start going hard with SMEP LOL.

chasingtherainbow1 · 13/07/2022 15:42

Finally got round to trying SMEP this month. 3 miscarriages so far and hoping for my miracle but it's been 6 months since our last so hoping it's our time soon! Got a positive opk today so will be dtd for the next 3 days then will be starting progesterone from 3dpo

Baby3herewego · 13/07/2022 14:58

Lots of cramping today and strong electric shock feelings that last for a few seconds and take my breath away a bit. Also feeling super hungry and tired. How is everyone else today?

Clairey3010 · 12/07/2022 12:26

@Blessedmummytobe don't worry I also missed the 3rd in a row which would have been 1dpo technically

Baby3herewego · 12/07/2022 09:39

@Blessedmummytobe I got my peek OPK on Friday so if OV is 12-24 hours later that would have been the same as what my apps said… still BDing.

@Baby3herewego Did u do an OPK?
Have you still been BD’ing?
We’re still at but that’s coz we’re bored at home ha. I think I missed the day before my surgery and last day of the ‘3’ which was yesterday. Hopefully done enough though.

Baby3herewego · 12/07/2022 08:27

@Blessedmummytobe I had some strong cramping last night which freaked me out as I thought I was OV later than what all my apps had said. Still have some mild cramps this morning.

I usually get sore boobs. None yet. All I can say is I have had cramps and yesterday I felt how I feel when AF is on the way. Hopefully these are good signs! I will be going straight on Amazon for some test might try and delay delivery so I’m not POAS unnecessarily lol
