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

Yay @Sleepyhead81 congratulations and hope all goes well for you 😊😊

Eek I hope it's a good sign. I'm very achy and crampy still today don't know if that's a good thing or not though. Tired and grumpy too haha x

Wahoooo congratulations @Sleepyhead81

@Sleepyhead81 congratulations! Do you have any symptoms?

Thank you all 😊 boobs are killing and a bit tmi but was constipated from about 5dpo which I was in my last pregnancy.
When's everyone else testing?? Hoping for some more good news on this thread x

Afternoon ladies.
How are you all? Quick question, I know this maybe tmi but I have loads of white thick creamy discharge. Is this a good sign? Achy stomach and lower back too .. ahh I'm symptom spotting so much haha. I've done a IC this afternoon and pretty sure it's very much negative 👎🏼😩 still way to early though so bigger fool me lol xx

I keep staring at it hoping the line will just appear 😂😂😂

@Mich2020 those symptoms do sound promising! Although I agree I can't see anything on that test. How many DPO are you?

I hope so 🤞🏻🤞🏻 umm not very many. Possibly 7 or 8 at most. I know it's too early but I like to poas 😂😂 thats it now it's dried. Pretty sure I am imagining lines anyway but this has been a long old journey. It's in the bin now 🙈 no more testing until Tuesday at least haha. How are you doing? Xx

I got itchy POAS and tried an OPK today at 7dpo and it's very negative. Looks the sand colour as what I get when I test from cd8.

And now I've done this.. pretty sure it's an evap if anything though. Tiniest squinter. Bloody hell. I have 3 frer ready for the next week ahead 🤞🏻 xx

Omg congratulations @Sleepyhead81 i am so happy for you. Im sorry @Mich2020 i cant see anything but i am absolutely rubbish at seeing lines and it would still be very early. I can see me being the only one that fails this month but i do have 🤞 both you @Mich2020 and @1940s get those bfp this month xx

I have my fingers crossed for you too @Bbdm1984 when are you testing? Xx

@Mich2020 due af from wednesday onwards, but really dont think i will need to test this month... only had some tmi sticky creamy cm this month (which i am sure i get just before af although never this early) those couple of sharp pains i had a couple of days ago have gone now... the only other weird thing i have going on is the skin on my fingers has all started peeling (i think i need to start taking vitamins ha) if i dont have af by friday i may test then. How are you any symptoms? Xx

They do sound like good symptoms though I'm
Keeping my fingers crossed that AF stays away for you.. I have weird pains in my stomach, and achy lower back. My CM is horrid. Loads of creamy white stuff and sorry tmi it was all in my knickers earlier and when I wiped it was quite a lot. That and tiredness that's all xx

@Mich2020 in the past when i have been ready about symptoms tummy cramps and achey back are very common... eek i really hope you get your bfp when are you testing next? Xx

I really hope so. It's been a long time coming. I'll test with an IC probably every morning.. and then frer Tuesday morning if nothing then leave it another 2 days again. Don't want to get carried away too much with the expensive ones xx

@Mich2020 I can see a squinter!!!!

@Mich2020 how long have you been trying? Have you stuck to smep? Anything new this month?

It's very faint and hardly there in real life at all 🤔 had my coil out October 2018. Had periods return around March/April 2019 and ttc ever since. Other than these niggly pains and the increased CM and tiredness. Just feel normal boobs don't hurt or anything.
We dtd for about 7 days in a row through my entire fertile period 🙈 the smep didn't go to plan and we got carried away lol xx

Had my lap and dye 13th August so he said I'd be more fertile in the next 3 months🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Sure I see something again this morning. But think I'm imagining it 🤔🤔 frer ready for tomorrow morning..

Maybe it's the angle @Mich2020 or the light but I can see more of a line in your first posted pic. Maybe do a urine hold and try this afternoon. If you've got a squinter on an IC then FRER will definitely show. Exciting!!!

@Mich2020 did you say you will do a frer tomorrow morning? 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Yep going to try frer tomorrow morning 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

How many frers do you have @Mich2020...?

Yes they are an expensive habit but I got my first BFP on a FRER with an afternoon pee after getting a squinter on an IC atn11DPO.
