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!

Yes keeping my fingers crossed. I have some odd pin prick like pains low down today so hoping that's a good sign. X

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 I just had a realisation this morning that I actually didn’t do smep correct last month. I had all the sex upto day of positive ppl and then stopped! I think I have just been so in my head and focussing on a positive ppl that I actually messed it up! So this month I’ll do it properly. Having said that my period felt a bit odd last month. It was heavier, some clots but not longer than usual and came a day late but the cramping before hand was different so not sure if that was an early chemical as I did think I’d seen a feint line on a pregnancy test. Ovulation should be around OH’s birthday so shouldn’t be too hard DTD haha. I’m not taking any supplements apart from Folic Acid. Welcome @Babydustthisyear ! The last 2 tries are supposed to be the most important in Smep but I guess it could happen with any of them! This will be our month - positive energy 🥰

Hey Ladies can I join? I'm in the middle of SMEP waiting on my positive ovulation test. This is my third cycle ttc #1 and my second cycle using SMEP, I almost sure it worked for us last month but I think it was a chemical or very very early miscarriage due to the heavy and long period I had, it gives me hope that hopefully it will work again. I'm just not able to do the very last day due to staying with family but I didn't do the final day last month either ideally I would like to. Baby dust for us all xx

Found it ok. We managed to do all the days. Positive OPK on day 12 so assuming I ovd on CD13 ish. Currently CD18 and 5DPO.

I'm taking 7 seas. Little bit worried it will take longer this time due to age but got my fingers crossed.

Are you taking any?
