Hi everyone, just making this thread as it seems a few of us will be trying SMEP to TTC! Adding these lovely ladies in from another thread but I hope everyone feels free to join! All welcome :)

@Devgirl31 @fayy123 @NCON @MrsKJW19

Some stats about me:

TTC #1
27 years old, DH is 28 years old
Missed miscarriage in October 2019 at 7+2 weeks
Still in that cycle (no AF yet)
Long and irregular cycles, some anovulatory
Suspected low progesterone/hypothyroidism (I think this based on symptoms, not diagnosed yet!)

Hope we can all provide support for each other in this crazy TTC journey.

Feel free to introduce yourselves :)

Diamond94 · 08/12/2019 05:49

@fayy123 hi 👋🏼 its so frustrating isnt it 🤔... i done an opk last night and was getting slightly darker.. so im CD13 according to my app, we dtd CD 8,11 and 12 so far.. which isnt alot 🙄 im going to try BD tonight and tomorrow 🤞🏼.. how are you getting on?

fayy123 · 08/12/2019 06:55

so I’m on CD 14 today and today is apparently the day I’m ovulating.. will do an OPK later on today. But I haven’t got a positive yet either ahaha. I haven’t BD a lot either. I’ve done cD7,8,12 only as well. Will try to BD tonight! Hopefully we’ve caught it this month! X

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 07:48

Good morning@Diamond94 and @fayy123.
If you don't mind me asking this, how long have you ladies been TTC and have you got any children?
Baby dust to you both 🤗

TunnocksTcake · 08/12/2019 09:13

I missed the last dtd day yesterday but had my temps confirm I o'd on the last day of the three in a row days so hoping it doesn't matter too much as the egg only lives for 24 hours after that! Will try again today just in case it's wrong!
Interestingly O'd 3 days after my peak, which will mean there's lots of guys in there waiting but shows it's important to keep going for 3 days! I wouldn't do that if just going off OPKs

LosingtheTTCplot · 08/12/2019 10:51

CD8 today for me, going to start DTD tonight (hubby keeps falling asleep and kids keep going to bed late).

Very negative OPK yesterday, so hoping OV will be slightly delayed.

fayy123 · 08/12/2019 11:05

Heyy I’m 24 and have been ttc since October, so this is my second cycle. But I feel that I should be DTD a lot more... maybe I would’ve fallen by now😂😂 however I’m a school teacher and always exhausted!! Thank you! How about yourself? X

fayy123 · 08/12/2019 11:18

Hopefully you catch it this month! Seems like you’ve done well.. did you follow the SMEP to the T? X

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 11:24

@fayy123 lol it's nice to be DTD, you might just end up with a sore vagi and a baby, so keep at it Grin

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 11:27

@fayy123 I am fine, am not really TTC but also not preventing. Been having some what you would call 'symptoms of pregnancy' but I am calling it symptoms of AF coming.
Haven't had a period since I came of the depo in June and didn't have periods while I was on it.

fayy123 · 08/12/2019 11:31

Oh sorry forgot to mention, no I don’t have any children. Exciting times, you might be pregnant? Have you taken a test yet? and do you have any children x

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 11:56

@fayy123 wow exciting time for you TTC for your first.
I have two boys 14 and a almost 3 year old.
I may or may not take a test tomorrow. Cba

fayy123 · 08/12/2019 12:13

Ahaha can be exciting and scary

Diamond94 · 08/12/2019 19:46

Diamond94 · 08/12/2019 19:49

Diamond94 · 08/12/2019 19:49

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 20:15

@Diamond94 brilliant. Sounds like it maybe implantation bleed. Fingers crossed for you.
I have two boys 14 and a almost 3 year old.

Diamond94 · 08/12/2019 20:53

@Healthypositivity hopefully 🤞🏼 due to my pill im not 100% if i will ovulate when im supposed go.. i done a test there and can see THEE faintest line 🤔

fayy123 · 08/12/2019 21:04

Did you get a positive OPK yet? I don’t think I’ve caught this month I’m on CD13 and only BD 7,8,12 so far 🙈 no positive OPK yet x

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 21:06

Wow that's great. Let see a pic. @diamondSmile

Diamond94 · 08/12/2019 21:11

@fayy123 i got a dark opk on the 30th but thought it wasn't positive as my app says tomorrow is ovulation..
im definitely not getting my hopes up.. you guys might not even be able to see a line 🙈

SMEP - feel free to join! :)
Lucy5546 · 08/12/2019 21:17

Hey ladies mind if i join.? Cycle 3 off the pill. Range between 28 and 30 days. Last two months i have stressed my self out so taking a more relaxed approach this month. Trying SMEP. Should be no problem for us as we regularly DTD anyway so i just stocked up on some fancy lingerie haha. Cycle day 9 here and i already feel so much more relaxed not tracking anythin this month

Diamond94 · 08/12/2019 21:25

@Lucy5546 hey 👋🏼 yeah definitely a good idea just being chilled! Do you have any children already?

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 21:27

@Diamond94 🙈 can't see a line ATM. Do another tomorrow morning.
@lucy5546 good with TTC. Baby dust to you

Healthypositivity · 08/12/2019 21:28
