AF arrived - next months plan :)

[Vea1601]

Well cycle 18 has failed. I was upset a couple of days ago as I felt AF coming but today I feel better now I've started. Lay in bed chatting this morning and we've got a plan for the next month. Husband actually suggested we make a bit of a plan and he's motivated again for some reason. Comes in peaks and troughs I think with all the emotion of it all. Anyway. The plan.

I use clear blue advanced digital ovulation tests. So will continue that but also use cheapie strips to test when near to peak to make sure I don't miss anything. We're going to have sex every other day from CD 6 until predicted ovulation and then every day until lh surge drops again on cheapie sticks. Then back to every other day. I'm going to use preseed (but nervous about this one!! Ha). And husband has purchased some Fertility vitamins for him as well. Feeling positive despite first day of AF. Anyone else want to share their plans for the month ahead? Xxx

Hi @vea1601

AF has just arrived for me too, meaning I'm just heading into cycle 14. It's such an emotional rollercoaster but I'm trying to stay as positive as I can about it.

It's great to have a plan and yours sounds good! I've followed SMEP for the last two cycles and think I'll stick with that for cycle 14 too. It's pretty similar to your plan to be honest.

Hi @LSL0708 :) it's rubbish but I like it when AF comes at least any small hope goes. I don't like the hope to be honest haha! I e read about smep and I think I'm subconsciously combining methods with that. I worry we won't manage sex that often to be honest haha. I'm a nurse and at the moment I'm just exhausted. Husbands also been working in a stressful environment throughout covid. I don't think that helps at all. But we'll try. We had sex every day of my fertile week this month but hey that didn't work.
