Onto cycle 6

[Daydreamer71]

Onto cycle 6 today and feeling very down about it all. What can I do differently this month? Only thing I can think of is start using pre seed again...

Hiya @Daydreamer71 sorry AF came again. It can be hard to pick yourself up each cycle. What have you tried in your previous cycles? Have you tried smep? We followed smep this cycle. Still waiting to see if we've been successful but I felt more I'm control somehow following a bit of a regime. And we know we've given it our best shot.

@Skyla01 we are currently in the middle of trying SMEP this cycle and been using Clearblue advanced OPK along side currently our 2nd cycle TTC I feel like you do, being more in control and knowing we are doing everything we can. Good luck x

My cycle 6 started today also, spotting is getting heavier.
Iv had day 21 tests which prove I'm ovulating so not worrying about that but husband is now going to ask for sperm analysis.

It's so frustrating isn't it. Your always told to be careful as you could fall pregnant then when you want to it's actually not that easy!

I wish I'd come off contraception ages ago! X

Thanks everyone much appreciated. I think I'll give SPEM a try - how does it work and how do I sign up?

I think this month I will start using:
SPEM
OPKs (so far we've just dtd every other day until cycle day 19 (my cycles are 31/32 days))
Pre-seed
And maybe cut out alcohol (I've cut back but not stopped entirely)?

@Daydreamer71 have you tried the Clearblue blue advanced OPK?

I'm currently using it alongside SMEP got my static smiley today.

SMEP is you start DTD on cycle day 8 then you DTD every other day then on cycle day 10 you start doing OPKs until you get a positive once you do you DTD for 3 consecutive days and then skip and day and do it once more for luck! Then the waiting begins.

We started on day 8 and then did day 10 but missed day 12 yesterday as was so tired I've had 3 flashing smileys since Friday but today I've had my first static so going to DTD for the new 3 days then miss a day and do one more for luck!

Good luck to you x
