Who’s trying SMEP this month?

[Firsttimer16]

Support thread for those giving smep a go this month! I’m CD6 so going to start soon. All fingers crossed that this works for us all this month.
Debating whether to buy CB OPK or just stick with IC - might do IC until around FW and then see if I can find a few old CB lying around to confirm a positive.
Anyone else giving this a go?

@Bas27 congratulations

so glad i trusted my instinct and dtd three days in a row or i would of missed my chance. i even used cbfm this month

Congratulations @Bas27!

That's amazing news @Bas27 congratulations!!

I was daft and tested this morning at 8DPO, it was obviously BFN. Temps are continuing to rise but RPR is dropping.

@Bas27 congratulations that's fantastic news 💐🎉😊

@NoseringGirl is that the start of daily poas?
Are there any other variables that could be throwing RPR off? 🤞 fx it means nothing x

Ahhh @Bas27 that is fantastic news!!!!
And at 10dpo too - v impressive!!!

@bas27 yessss!!!! Congratulations that's fantastic news ❤❤

@Angelmiracle I think it probably is 🤣 I'm not sure if anything else could be throwing the RPR off, it dropped like this last month before AF though.

What is RPR?

Negative for me at 9DPO although I might actually be 8DPO. Only an internet cheapie.

Will FRER Monday morning (am away tonight and don't want to find out in someone else's bathroom!) but not feeling hopeful :(

@JustLikeTheySaid it's resting pulse rate. I use an Ava bracelet so have even more data to obsess over 😳😂 good luck with the FRER!

@Bas27 YAAAAAY! Congratulations....that's fantastic news!!!

So according to Natural Cycles I ovulated yesterday...bring on the longest TWW EVER! Anyone else testing in the next few days? Keeping fx for some BFP's to keep hopes high!

Will catch up properly soon but just wanted to pop in to say - @Bas27 wonderful, wonderful news!! xxx

@Bas27 huge congratulations you must be so happy!!! great to hear a SMEP success story!

Thanks for all the congrats guys! Very excited but also nervous as hell!
I got up this morning completely expecting bfn and had a horrible sinking feeling.
Left it 3 mins and went back to have a look. Eyes wide as saucers. I froze and didn't say anything for a minute. DH was starting to wonder if I was ok. It was actually a reasonably strong line as well. Did 2xfrers but no line on the cheapie yet. so don't loose hope. I will stay on this board and keep my eyes peeled for your hopeful bfps 🤞later in the month!!

Massive congratulations @Bas27 .... hopefully many more BFPs to come

Hi everyone just joined this and no idea what I’m doing but we are trying the smep.
We were trying for over s year and got pregnant in April but miscarried. Should have been 11/40 but baby measured just short of 9.
The nurse tells me to wait 2 cycles but I’m old and it took ages last time!
CD10 and got a + OPK but thinking this might b still from mis any thoughts? X

@Bas27 CONGRATULATIONS! good luck with the next part of the journey....hope to join you soon ha ha

Can anyone make sense of this?

am I 5dpo or 2 dpo? I have no CLUE!

@dee7409 I think you might need to wait a few more days of seeing what your temps do and it should become clearer.

@noseringgirl thanks..

@Bas27 did you notice anything different this cycle?

@dee7409 everything was the same as last month... so I completely thought I would be out!
The only thing that could possibly be related is that my appetite has been up the last few days.
I didn't really start thinking about that as maybe a symptom until this afternoon.
Still have sore boobs and back but had that last month with bfn!

7dpo...still not a symptom in town 😁 so weird! Really makes me feel like not testing before AF if I'm honest!
