Right SMEP.. determined. Anyone else?

[Mich2020]

Hey all
I've been ttc for a long time, I had my lap and dye last week which removed all endo visible and unstuck my left ovary from my tube. My tubes are clear. The horrible bleeding that I had after is coming to an end. I'm very determined to try everything I can this month and the following months if I fail.
I have read about this SMEP and I've heard good things about it.
Today I am CD 5 so I am going to start dtd tonight instead of the recommendation of CD 8. I done an ovulation test today (just for fun) there's a second line but very much not positive so going to keep doing them twice a day until I get my surge. Also have some cb advance ones coming tomorrow.

My question is how many people have used this method and been successful on here? Would love to keep chatting to people through these next 6 months if possible as this is kind of the last hurdle before more fertility tests are taken for both me and my DP xx

Hi all hope you are all well, how are you getting on? Just wanted to update that i got my BFP tonight very shocked as i literally thought i had no chance this month as dp was away working 2 days before ovulation and we just enjoyed without even trying.

Aww congratulations @Bbdm1984 what great news. I'm about 3dpo we also haven't dtd as much as we would have liked so fingers crossed that I may have the same outcome as you. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xx

@Bbdm1984 that’s amazing news congratulations! How are you feeling

Thank you both, in a bit of disbelief really, i knew i was before i tested yesterday, i just cant get my head around all the montha of checking opks and planning when to have sex to have the best possibilitly and then the month i think fuck it were not even together when im ovulating so whats the point it happens. I am absolutely exhausted, have sore boobs that feel bruised, and heartburn. I had period cramps when i was due on like it could turn up any minute but a couple of days before af was due i had a really sharp pulling sensation when i reached to get something.

So happy for you 😊 what are these tests? I've never seen them before xx

Thank you, Oh my dsis works in a&e so she brought me them last night after her shift xx

That’s such happy news! Does your sis know? Have you told anyone else yet? I’m just over 10 weeks today and we’ve still not told anyone. We have booked in for an early private scan this Saturday so hope to tell our parents this weekend- I’m excited and so nervous!

Yes sister was here while i did the test, she is the only one dp doesnt even know yet as he was in court this morning trying to get the decree absolute with an ex that is trying every trick in the book to delay things. We are away this weekend so will do a test with him then and pretend it is the first but then we wont be telling anyone until xmas.

Oh wow 10 weeks already! How are you feeling? I bet your super excited for your scan, is dh allowed into your nhs dating scan?

A weekend away and a bfp sounds like a lovely way to take your minds off the court stuff. How did your sister react to the bfp?
Do you think you’ll do a fun Christmas announcement?

I’m feeling absolutely fine. One of the reasons we have decided to book an early scan is because I don’t feel pregnant at all. No symptoms what so ever so I may just be super lucky but it’s making me worry a lot! At the moment I have checked and partners are allowed in 12 week and 20 week scans but I’m also concerned that this could change at any time and I would hate to have our first scan on my own. We have our 12 week scan booked 22nd October so fingers crossed there’s no change in partners being allowed to come then too.

How is everyone getting on?? Xx
