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

@Clairey3010 CD 9 today. First month trying. Our other two happened on our first month trying so fingers crossed the same happens this time.

Clairey3010 · 03/07/2022 15:17

@Baby3herewego which cycle are you on now? See my 6 year will be so excited but my 13 year old will be quite uninterested I think, at that hormonal teen stage🙈

Baby3herewego · 03/07/2022 11:39

@Clairey3010 it definitely does give some routine. I felt a bit mad at first with mine being 12 and 10 but I know they will be over the moon. They both love little ones.

Clairey3010 · 03/07/2022 11:05

@Baby3herewego absolutely, its been nice in the sense it gives you a routine & you don't have to worry about DTD on the right days etc as it's mapped out. I'm also trying for number 3 with 2 girls-13 and 6 must be mad 🤣 will be my partners first though x

@Clairey3010 Oooo good luck and remember to have some fun with it 😉

Baby3herewego · 03/07/2022 07:29

@Blessedmummytobe yeeehawwww cowgirl. Good on you for pouching 😂

I’m not tracking. Just trying to get in as much as possible ( hubs is very happy about that ) so might end up being daily sometimes instead of every other day.

If it doesn’t work out this time then I’ll track for next cycle.

This is our first month trying smep(third cycle TTC), not going to lie it's been tiring, especially for someone who has a low drive 😭 👀
Cd21 today, hit my peak last night so currently at the part of the plan where we BD 3 days in a row......fingers crossed it works

Angie2018 · 02/07/2022 18:49

@Baby3herewego Managed to DTD between about 10.30 to 11.15. Rest day and then back in the saddle on Monday ha!

I am going to test my OPK this evening.

@Baby3herewego heyyy! Not last night. Currently waiting for Hubby to get back in so I can pounce on him before I’m off out for the rest of the day! I’m on CD10 and not having any signs of an LH rise yet????? Going to try and do it every other day as SMEP advises and hope I see/don’t miss a rise. Are you tracking Ovulation? I genuinely think I have been missing my ovulation so feeling positive this month.

@Wouldloveanother welcome! Hows it going?

I will be if this cycle doesn’t pan out (due on period in 1 week, next ovulation predicated to be around the 20th)

Baby3herewego · 02/07/2022 07:47

@Blessedmummytobe how did it go last! Did you muster up the energy to DTD again? 😅

I realised I’m actually CD8 so only one day behind you.

Baby3herewego · 01/07/2022 11:58

Yey lets! So happy to have someone so close in time to go through this with.

Finally! Yes let’s be SMEP twins!

im on CD 8 right now. Will try and DTD tonight but maybe not as did it yesterday. Definately tomorrow. My LH is still quite low at the moment. Hoping to see a rise around CD 11/12 👌
