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?

Officially 1 day late for AF.. Neg frer.. I ov 6 days late this month does that mean I will be 6 days late for AF ( according to Google) this is the case.. Can anyone see any hope from my bbt chart... Let me know please

@dee7409 I'd say you're around 11DPO from that chart. The amount of days between ovulation and AF doesn't tend to change so if you've ovulated 6 days later than usual then you'll be due AF 6 days later than usual as well.

@noseringgirl...tbanks....11dpo neg frer... I am out this month by the looks of things😢

@dee7409 I always think there is hope until AF shows. I didn't get a positive until 13DPO with DS2 (my chart wasn't overly clear though so not 100% sure on that) and didn't get a clear one until 12DPO last cycle though that sadly ended in a chemical.

@dee7409 yes I believe your luteal period stays the same (time between ovulation and Af). I ovulated a week late the other month and Af arrived exactly a week late too.

Thanks for the info @noseringgirl and @firsttimer16 it is confusing as hell and a late period fills you with so much hope... Ha ha.. I am not stressing though it will happen when it is supposed to....

@NoseringGirl was that testing with a frer at 12dpo

12 dpo af hasn't arrived yet, i think i ovulated really late at night as i have ov pains at 10pm

@TtcIAm I don't remember with DC2, I think it might've been with an internet cheapie. The chemical last cycle I got negative on the FRER at 10DPO and very faint positive on FRER and internet cheapie at 12DPO.

bfn on a frer i think i am defo out

Sorry to hear that @winterwarmers.. it’s so hard to know whether to test early or wait for AF... you know what they say... you’re not out till the red lady sings! You might just have ov’d late? Or implanted late?

I’m 11DPO and trying to stay strong! 💪🏻 🐝x

BFP!! At 12dpo, it’s quite strong so probably could have been testing from 8dpo. First baby so very nervous! Hooray for SMEP!

🐝x

Congratulations @BeeKeeping!

Amazing news @beekeeping!! 🎉🐝🐝🎉

eek @BeeKeeping! 🎉 that is a brilliant line!! Hooray for SMEP - what cycle of trying are you on if you don't mind me asking?

I'm CD11 so the BD every other day and OPKs have started again for us - really hoping this cycle is our turn 🤞
Anyone else for this month? x

@beekeeping congrats! think i am out myself..temp drop by a degree this morning..AF in 2 days according to Flo....

Congrats @BeeKeeping!

We're trying SMEP again this month @TheMagicTorch, I'm CD7 today but will be away from DH over the weekend so not a great start! Going to start OPKs on Monday when I'm back.

@NoseringGirl ah no! Hopefully it's early enough in the cycle to give you a chance 🤞 Nice to have another SMEP buddy this month

Congratulations @beekeeping that's a lovely line 😊🎉

@TheMagicTorch I’m on cycle 3 of trying so very lucky. First try at SMEP 🙌🏻 Bring on all the BFPs! I’m definitely going to keep hanging about to see you all get yours 🐝xx

@TheMagicTorch I usually ovulate around CD16 but not sure if the chemical last cycling

Sorry DS2 smacked my phone out of my hand 😳
I was trying to say that I'm not sure if last cycle's chemical will make this cycle wonky. I've done far too much googling and there's loads of difference answers. Hoping it won't effect things! Have you got anything showing in your OPKs yet?

@BeeKeeping Ooh that's fabulous so happy for you! hopefully second try on SMEP will get me our sticky BFP! Congratulations again.

@NoseringGirl Oops! 😂 I had a chemical Cycle 3 (started bleeding same day as AF was due) and used OPKs for the first time Cycle 4 and ovulated CD14 as I suspected so hopefully you'll still be in sync!
Nothing yet, still a static smiley this morning - should have BD last night on CD10 but was ill and in bed asleep by 8.30pm so missed it!

Hope you're feeling better now @TheMagicTorch! Sorry to hear about your chemical as well but glad it didn't delay ovulation. My bleeding started 2 days after AF was due so hopefully won't delay things either.
