Hi all.

starting this thread as I’m going to try SMEP this month And thought it would be good for moral support to do it with other ladies. It’s worked for me previously. I’m on cycle day 7. So will start testing from tomorrow! Let’s do this!

@Blessedmummytobe thanks lovely, nothing again today- waiting until she shows now which should be Monday 💗

when she does it’s my time to admit defeat and ivf it is. So I doubt I’ll be on these threads I’ll be diving into that world instead!

@lottieb92 good morning x

@Blessedmummytobe so exciting sorry I hit send too quickly lol!
have you had a scan yet!? X

lottieb92 · 06/05/2023 18:44

@Blessedmummytobe that’s good to hear!

I am about 5/6 dpo from what I’d guess … and I think I’ll be testing 10th or 11th as I usually would! But at least I’m not putting ALL the pressure on it - as I know I managed to DTD when I needed but didn’t do the ten times as I did last cycle 🤣

@lottieb92 oh bless you. Thank you for that. I keep you in mind also!

If you have been doing the dance a lot you have a good chance.

i didn’t do it as much as Smep advised nor did I track - it took the fun out of it…but for all the opk so didn’t do I made up with pregnancy tests lol💜

where are you in your cycle now? Can you test yet? X

@Blessedmummytobe heeey thanks for thinking of me! I haave you all in my mind daily, but have been rubbish at keeping up with threads this month.
lots going on.

Im doing okay. After this month we are sorting and booking private IVF.. scary times but excited nonetheless! Finally time to just keep pushing on.

I did manage to DTD when needed this cycle, but not sure where I am when I'd test and for once its a nice feeling haha..
How are you!?

@Blessedmummytobe it's called Due January 2024. I honestly don't mind at all I am just so relieved to be starting our family, if I go with my gut I have a feeling it will be a girl but I honestly don't mind whatsoever and I'm not finding out I want a suprise 🥰

@Blessedmummytobe how are you? Xx

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 24/04/2023 19:27

@Blessedmummytobe I am now 9 weeks. Feel pretty sick in morning and evening but I haven't actually been sick yet.

Had an early scan and heart beat etc detected at 7 + 3 so fingers crossed all is progressing as it should. Had first midwife appointment last week waiting on a date for 12 week scan.

Fingers crossed for you x

Babydustthisyear · 24/04/2023 19:01

@Blessedmummytobe awwww hope it is good news for you when is AF Due?

Thanks 💜 @Babydustthisyear @Tryingtoconceivenumber2 I’ll be so happy if it is truly positive…but had my fair share of dodgy tests. I’ll try again in a few days. How are you both feeling? Any sickness?

OP posts:
Babydustthisyear · 24/04/2023 15:53

@Blessedmummytobe oh my goodness that's how faint mine was and I'm now 4 weeks and 1 day 💕💕 I think it's a positive, I took a digital two days later and about 5 hcg and they were all positive....it's very similar to mine 💕💕💕 exciting xx

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 24/04/2023 14:53

@Blessedmummytobe that looks like a positive to me. Congratulations x

Hey ladies!

how are you? I’m due any time now…took a test just in case (as going away and gonna take those period delay tabs)…I got this and it came up quite quickly. But I’m not sure - feint positive or indent…there’s a bit more colour in reality. What do we think?

March SMEP!

One week to go…but I know my body. I’m out this round! On to the next…

Babydustthisyear · 18/04/2023 14:38

@Blessedmummytobe yes I'm sure you all will be, reading back over the messages and it feels like it's happening to someone else it has not sunk in! Can't wait to get it on the digital test maybe at the weekend 💕

One thing I have learnt from this journey is no matter how much we track you never really can be sure, I recommend just DtD all the way through the fertile window lol every other day 💕💕 I hope u all will be joining me soon xxx
