Hi,

I'm on my 16th month of TTC 3rd baby. We have decided to try SMEP this month. I'm on CD11.
Anyone else tried this plan?

I have done SMEP this month for the first time, hopeing that it works for us, glad to have a rest from DTD during the 2ww as we DTD every other day from 2 days after my period finished in January then as much as possible my fertile week.

Currently 5dpo and having cramps, last night were bad like period pains, heartburn, cm changing daily from wet to dry to creamy.

Really hope it worked this month. Defo give it a try @prayingfora2019bubba

I didn’t get any cramping. But I usually have sore breasts for around a week before I get my period. This time, I had sore breasts for about 3 days and then the pain stopped.
I also started getting random heart palpitations in the last 6 days or so. Not many but I never usually get them so that was odd for me.

Fingers crossed for you @Louise392

Thanks, What DPO did you find out on @mrss2015?

MrsS2015 · 15/02/2019 11:39

I tested at 12 DPO and got the faintest line. But i wasn’t sure if it was a just a duff test so I waited a couple more days and got a definite positive on 14 DPO.

Louise392 · 15/02/2019 13:52

Feels like i am never going to be 12 dpo lol dragging so much!
Ovia app says to test 2 days before my af is due so that is when i am aiming to test if i can wait that long.

Did you do temping too? I have not at all but wondered if i should next month if the witch shows up @mrsS2015

MrsS2015 · 15/02/2019 14:09

@Louise392 Yeah the 2ww does drag. 12 DPO for me was the day af was due - I have around 32 day cycles and ovulated at CD 20.

No I didn’t do temping. Just ovulation tests and tracking my periods.

KristieP2018 · 15/02/2019 14:27

Do you always start it on cd 8? This last cycle was only 25 days instead of my usually 27-29. I still think I ovulated around cd 12 though.

Louise392 · 15/02/2019 14:33

@kirstieP2018 that is what the site i read said. Here spermmeetseggplan.com/smep-step-by-step/
That is what i used, although i dtd every other day over the ovulation days too as ive read it says that sperm is more concentrated after a couple days.

MrsS2015 · 15/02/2019 14:42

@kirstieP2018 are you using ovulation tests?

KristieP2018 · 15/02/2019 15:07

I use digital opks and got a peak on the 31jan this cycle which was cd 11. Ones in the past have been around cd 12-13

MrsS2015 · 15/02/2019 15:15

I definitely think they’re worth it. My app was predicting ovulation at CD 18 but my positive opk was usually 2 days later
