Sperm Meets Egg Plan

[Pollyell]

Hi everyone!

Going into our second cycle TTC, stumbled across the SMEP and a lot of couples seem to have had success with it. Has anyone else heard of this/trying it this cycle? X

[Memcf2]

@namechangeTTC I admire your willpower. I'm rubbish. But hate seeing negatives. So hope this is my month but really doubting it.

[NamechangeTTC]

9 dpo today.

Ridiculously thirsty!

Haven’t tested. Did an ovulation test just to see how it goes for the rest of the cycle as a baseline.

Have been having cramps when I stretch for 2 days now.

[Pollyell]

Rooting for you both! Stay positive! X

Morning ladies. How is everyone? Has there been any bfp or is anyone testing this weekend?

[Gamechanger2019]

Thanks @NamechangeTTC!

@mommyofone2019 earliest testing would be next weekend for me. I’m going to try and hold out this month!

[Memcf2]

I'm only 3 dpo so a long way to go for me. Can't wait to see some bfp's. X

Today

Cramping on stretching
Blocked nose
Massively thirsty
Tender boobs

5 cycles
5 different sets of symptoms to mess with my head

[Memcf2]

@NAMECHANGETTC I would be so tempted to test.

[mommyofone2019]

I've not really had any symptoms yet. Have got creamy cm today (sorry tmi) not sure if that means anything? And have been having a bit of cramping

[NamechangeTTC]

I started to get tempted @Memcf2 but didn’t. Might tomorrow.

[Memcf2]

I'm only 3 dpo going to try not symptom spot and not test stupid early. Had a lot of ewcm today so confused. Not sure why. May try dtd tonight just in case despite the fact I had my peak days ago. You never know.

[Pollyell]

Can I ask some advice about my OPK's?

I usually check them within 10 mins however have been keeping them to compare them as cycle goes on. I did one at 6pm today and it didn't show as much at the time, but is now looking like this (top one is from CD8, most recent one CD18 at bottom) do you think this looks promising?

[NamechangeTTC]

It’s stronger than it was @Pollyell

[Memcf2]

@pollyell definitely getting darker. Don't think it's quite positive yet but hopefully over the next few days will continue to get darker. X

[NamechangeTTC]

I think it has to be as dark as the control to be peak.

[Pollyell]

Thanks, I was wondering if it was dark because I'd left it too long after testing but my blatant negative ones from over a week ago have stayed light so hopefully that means I will reach peak soon. Will do a couple tomorrow and see if they get darker. x

[Pollyell]

@namechangettc let us know whether you decide to test today!

[mommyofone2019]

@NamechangeTTC definitely keep us updated if you decide to test 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[NamechangeTTC]

Still undecided what to do!

[NamechangeTTC]

I have 5 FRER and a couple of cheapies.

[Pollyell]

@namechangettc are any of your symptoms new from other cycles?

[NamechangeTTC]

@Pollyell I had cramping earlier than normal. Boob pain happened last cycle only. The thirst is new!

[NamechangeTTC]

Well. I tested. And now I don’t know.

That it definitely a positive!! Congratulations @NamechangeTTC ❤️❤️
