Who’s trying SMEP this month?

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?

EEEEEEKK @Firsttimer16 and @Angelmiracle, those are some blazing BFP's!! Congratulations!!! So good to hear of some good news when it comes to SMEP, makes all the tiredness of constant BD'ing worth it eh 😉

@NoseringGirl Bad luck lovely...sorry to hear you're out this month. The August bus is getting fuller which means lots of love and support to make it go quicker 😁

Angelmiracle · 17/07/2018 12:48

@Kelsoid definitely keep up SMEP or at least regular dtd! Thank you so much x

@Firsttimer16 I have 5 FRERs left so will test for the next 5 mornings 😆 What about you?x

Becca444 · 17/07/2018 12:49

Congratulations @Angelmiracle! So happy for you and @Firsttimer16 and great to hear more SMEP successes!

9DPO today and feeling exhausted! 😴

Angelmiracle · 17/07/2018 12:52

Thank you so much @Becca444 fx for you - will you test in morning?

TheMagicTorch · 17/07/2018 12:57

@Angelmiracle hope so! 🤞🤞 It's lovely seeing so many BFPs!

BeeKeeping · 17/07/2018 13:10

Wow! CONGRATULATIONS @Firsttimer16 & @Angelmiracle!! So so pleased for you. Please keep us updated with how you’re getting on 😃🐝x

Angelmiracle · 17/07/2018 13:11

@BeeKeeping thank you so much I will keep you all posted Grin x

Becca444 · 17/07/2018 13:24

@Angelmiracle it’s tempting after seeing the BFPs but I just don’t feel anything...

Might try hold out till Friday like I said....

Firsttimer16 · 17/07/2018 13:31

Thanks so much! Just hoping it sticks this time! @Angelmiracle I think I also have 5 left so definitely every morning! And probably a lot of IC too! (I had a vvv clear bfn with ic today - not even a hint!)

Congratulations on the BFPs!

CD1 here. Didn't manage SMEP properly last cycle so determined to do better (!) this time. Slightly concerned that my last two cycles have been 24 days and LP 10 days, so on the short side. 10 days is just about long enough, right?

Angelmiracle · 17/07/2018 13:33

@Becca444 out of all the months this is the most normal I have ever felt. Test when it feels right for you!! Good luck 🤞

Angelmiracle · 17/07/2018 13:40

@Firsttimer16 Yeah I took cheapie not a thing on it wasn't going to try frer. Then took the last Boots test I had and I can see the faintest shadow so got the FRER out!!!

Firsttimer16 · 17/07/2018 14:29

@Becca444 I have had zero symptoms too. Like absolutely none so don't lose hope just yet. Xxx

Becca444 · 17/07/2018 14:36

@Angelmiracle @Firsttimer16 thanks for the support - hopefully no symptoms means something for me too....

NoseringGirl · 17/07/2018 14:42

@Angelmiracle whilst your BFP is very lovely, I think your nails might be stealing the show in that photo 🤣 seriously gorgeous!

Angelmiracle · 17/07/2018 14:48

@NoseringGirl 😄🤣 I'm addicted to having them done. I don't drink or smoke and feel I deserve it 😁💅🏼 Thanks!

TheMagicTorch · 17/07/2018 15:19

@Angelmiracle are they acrylics or your natural nails?
Love the glitter! I have acrylics and get them infilled and a colour change every 2 weeks for my regular treat 😄 and always glitter

Angelmiracle · 17/07/2018 17:03

@TheMagicTorch my natural nails and get gel overlays with infills every 3 weeks. Love a bit of glitter! If I'm having a girl she'll know all about it 😄💕

Kelsoid · 17/07/2018 17:08

@Angelmiracle I was thinking the exact thing about your nails!! They're gorgeous!!! I'm currently visiting my family in America and getting them done is soooo much cheaper here, I might treat myself later this week 😉

Hi @piglet81!! 10 days is a little on the short side but you should be alright...I think 9 is around where you can sometimes see a few problems. I can't say for sure as I've never been pregnant, but my LP was 10 days and the doctor never said anything about it!

dee7409 · 17/07/2018 21:25

@'firsttimer CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Firsttimer16 · 17/07/2018 21:37

Thanks @dee7409 ! Although not convinced yet until I see that line get darker over the next few days! Eekkk.

Is anyone due to test tomorrow?
