@PollyDarton1 oh my goodness I’m soo sorry to hear about your DP

currently only 4DPO 🙄🙄🙄 feel like the wait is ages.. I don’t have any hope this month

CurlyWurly1991 · 22/07/2023 15:34

@PollyDarton1 gosh really sorry to hear that about your DP. That sounds like a lot to take on and understandable about putting TTC on hold for a bit. I’m 6dpo so close behind you. Also not feeling too hopeful as I’ve been spotting lightly since ovulation which makes me think pregnancy is not likely.

PollyDarton1 · 22/07/2023 10:12

How is everyone? I am 7 DPO after very clear ovulation signs on day 21 - and static smiley on CB. DP has been really unwell though so we only DTD once around fertile time, so don't hold out much hope. It's possible he has lupus so if I'm not pregnant this cycle we are going to knock off trying until Christmas when we have some answers to his health probs.

Hope everyone is well x

DH and I are both off work on annual leave for my next fertile period so I’m hoping this means we have more opportunity and energy to cover all bases rather than only having evenings after we’re both shattered from work.

@HavinKittens its wiped me out tbh I feel so poorly today... Way too much sex 😂😂

fleur89 · 16/07/2023 09:13

Good morning ladies!

6dpo and tested this morning with SMU (it's stronger than FMU for me) - BFN of course. Only tested as hosting a bbq today and wondering whether to drink. Think I'll steer clear just in case as just experienced some light spotting. Praying it's implantation bleeding rather than just random hormonal spotting. Wait and see I guess... I hate waiting...!

I think the chances of us following SMEP are low at the moment. Not enough energy haha!

When we conceived my little boy we didn’t do SMEP exactly but we DTD a LOT more then we do now 😅 see pic.

I read that during covid lockdown in Italy lots of couples on ivf waiting lists conceived spontaneously and they put it down to them just having sex more.

just realised I posted this reply on the wrong thread Blush

Finally CD1 for me which means I ovulated a day or so later than I thought I did which explains why we didn’t fall pregnant this month as we last DTD on the day of the positive OPK. Whereas if we had SMEP’d we’d have DTD on the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and then the Monday.

Kellyaust · 16/07/2023 05:28

@Scarletthoping congratulations 🎉🎉 we did SMEP this month without skipping the day at the end too so 🤞

ttcthoughts · 16/07/2023 05:25

@HavinKittens they are now going down this morning so I think yesterday was peak finally only 10 days late 🙈🙈

Scarletthoping · 15/07/2023 21:46

Thanks so much everyone! Feeling good 😊
Although I did take against a beef burger at a BBQ earlier 🤢

FYI, in case helpful we basically did the SMEP apart from we didn’t skip a day at the end of the cycle. Xx

Yeah agree cd21 looks high, but could go higher still. My peaks have ranged from 0.65 to 1.24 over the last six months.

Thank you @Goldie1234 i thought the same. I was using the clear blue digital before but they were getting to expensive and these are really good but I app doesnt seem great with picking it up 🙈🙈

Vic231 · 15/07/2023 20:21

Congratulations @Scarletthoping ♥️

Goldie1234 · 15/07/2023 20:02

ttcthoughts · 15/07/2023 19:22

Hey ladies. I have started using easy at home and I have no clue 🙈 do these look peak or high? They are saying low on the app 🙄🙄

Argh @Optimistic66 !! I did that to an ex once (not deliberately, promise 🤭) Ouch! I wish him a speedy recovery.

I’m on cd1 again, AF is here. I really stupidly wasted a digital yesterday before my period started, as I had ran out of other tests. Now I have none and will try to resist buying more until I’ve missed a period.

@Optimistic66 im very curious how do you fix that 🙈🙈 I hope he’s ok

GinAndBearIt90 · 14/07/2023 23:34

@Unicorn25 congratulations on your BFP! Very exciting 😊😊😊

@Optimistic66 ouch!! Oh no! Did you manage to get a couple of goes this fertile period before his injury? 😅🙈 hope he has a speedy recovery!

I'm just about to enter my fertile week I think, but I'm not sure that we are going to try this month. Have DTD a couple of times this cycle but using contraception as I feel like we are both still afraid to commit to pregnancy again just yet 😅 I think next cycle will definitely be one I'm keen to try hard at, but just trying to monitor this current cycle and see if the length is a bit more normal. I don't really want to be unwell on our upcoming holiday or return to work from my long mat leave already pregnant!

Kellyaust · 14/07/2023 22:43

@Optimistic66 sorry but.... How exactly? 🙈
