SMEP - Any success stories?

[Sshsecretenclosed]

Ttc #1 month 13 here and willing to try anything! Been reading up on Sperm meets egg plan - anybody had any joy??

[Filzma]

Aaaaah that's amazing!! I hope this is your sticky one there'll be no more anxious waiting!! Congrats 💕💕

[anxiouswaiting]

Thanks, I am really happy but very nervous due to previous mc so I think it will be an anxious wait till I am holding our rainbow! x

Af is just starting. I feel devastated. Month number 13 done. It never gets any easier, just harder. Pregnant women everywhere. Sorry for negativity. I just feel really low but tomorrow is a new day.

[Katievb]

Have a glass of wine and a takeaway tonight then tomorrow will be a new day! xxx

@shhsecretenclosed I'm sorry :( I'm anticipating the same in a couple of times. How long you been trying for? It's so hard isn't it. X

[Filzma]

Awww @Sshsecretenclosed I'm so sorry. At least you're out of the limbo. BFN this morning for me.

@shhsecretenclosed I’m sorry about AF! I think it worse when you have done SMEP because you feel all that hard work had gone to nothing. I Get how I feeling I’m on cycle 14 x

[hurrythefuckupgeorge]

Sorry about AF @shhsecretenclosed it absolutely sucks.

I got my static smiley on clear blue digital yesterday so in the midst of the 3 days dtd. Already knackered. Also having the most horrendous ovulation cramps which doesn't help with the libido!

[Katievb]

I can’t believe this...

[Birchgirl]

@Katievb Congratulations! Lovely news

Did you do the SMEP this month? X

[Katievb]

Thank you! Well we tried haha.. we didn’t it every other day from CD10 got a positive OPK on cd 17 so dtd then. But DP couldn’t ‘finish’ on CD18 so we skipped it and did it on CD19. Then didn’t do it for the next 5 days xx

[Katievb]

Sorry that was suppose to say we did it everyday from CD10

[Birchgirl]

Ah really? It was meant to be then!

We dtd last night and got a positive opk today so now need to start the 3 days in a row . Need to try to find the energy from somewhere! Haha

[Katievb]

The only thing I really did this month was I started drinking 2-3litres of water a day because I read a article about how dehydration can affect your fertility (don’t know if it’s true) and cut out chocolate, crisps and alcohol... not saying it worked but worth a try xx

[Birchgirl]

I think I might give that a go. TBH I’m not much of an alcohol drinker anyway but I probably do need to drink more water x

[Bumbumtaloo]

Sorry to jump on your thread ladies. We used SMEP with pre-seed and our DD is now 8yo.

Month 1 - came off pill so not really ‘trying’
Month 2 - just having fun trying
Month 3 - SMEP & pre-seed pregnant!

Good luck to you all

[Birchgirl]

Ah this makes me feel so positive!

I really hope it works x

[hurrythefuckupgeorge]

Congratulations @katievb!

I am now in the waiting period, aargh I wish you didn't have to wait so long.

[DaisyMay25]

@hurrythefuckupgeorge waiting is the worst bit! When's AF due for you? And when will you be testing?

I've just finished my first month of SMEP so now I'm stuck waiting too!

[hurrythefuckupgeorge]

@DaisyMay25 I am testing on the 8th with AF due about the 12th. It seems so long! Thankfully we are away this weekend so that is a distraction.

How long have you to wait?

[DaisyMay25]

@hurrythefuckupgeorge AF is due on 10th but I'll be testing from 4ty because I'll be 10dpo (I ovulated slightly early this month)

I need to find some distractions!

[SoupyNorman]

I think this is a success story.... can anyone see this line? It's about 12DPO I reckon, with a Tesco cheapie.

This is our second month TTC, first month we did SMEP (and PreSeed) properly. If all goes well, this will be our second baby (had 2 mcs before DD1 so wary of being too elated).

[DaisyMay25]

@SoupyNorman I see a line for sure!!

Congrats!

[SoupyNorman]

Thanks! Can't quite believe it worked first time (we did have a lot of sex though )

Hi guys. Can I join. We were ttc for almost a year then tried smep with fertility gel/lube. BFP first month trying! Sadly we lost the baby a few weeks ago at 8weeks. Had to have erpc (op to remove baby) which I had on 18th Jan. Desperate to be pregnant again. Have had a crazy month of hormones readjusting but have reset my CBFM and it looks like my hormones are levelling out a little. If I take CD1 as the day of the op, I’m on cd 14. I usually ov around cd12-14 and have 26 day cycles.
So far this month we’ve DTD on cd 6, 8, 10 and 11. We’ll DTD again tonight then I’m hoping soon for a peak so we can go three in a row.
Fingers crossed for all those awaiting a BFP
And congrats to all those who got their BFP.
Xx
