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

@HoneysuckleHalliana snap, I'm the same re implantation bleeding. With my daughter I had it at 5dpo. Today is 8DPO for me and I've not had any. So in my head now I'm out as I've not had it 🥺

charlsains · 17/11/2020 22:32

@NamechangeTTC

Yes it’s our first *@charlsains*

I read something saying orgasm within 40 mins of sperm can help draw them in 😂 so we went for it anyway. No harm.

Whaaaat so if you both orgasm with sex but you orgasm again shortly after it helps? We are normally at the same time 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
HoneysuckleHalliana · 17/11/2020 23:43

@mommyofone2019 I am 11DPO today, so I am assuming if I was to have implantation bleeding it would have happened by now. But I did read somewhere that less than 25% women have IB, so hopefully we are still in there with a chance!

How old is your DD? Mine is almost 2 now.

Pollyell · 18/11/2020 06:56

@charlsains whaaaat lucky you! Hahaha. Orgasm same time will have same effect, just many women don't finish during sex so comes from either foreplay or afterwards (in my experience anyway!) X

Yeah if you’re managing it then you’re fine @charlsains. By the end of smep we had to resort to the alternative.

I didn’t have IB and it upset me.

I normally spot 2 days before period and start day 13 or 14. This is day 13 so let’s hope AF stays away please!

charlsains · 18/11/2020 08:17

Morning! Hope you are all well! Please help! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ last time we had sex was about 1am or so on the 16th so technically today is anothet round, last night (after 12 am) we did but he pulled out to stop finishing so soon but it didn't work so I literally missed out (sorry for info) so am i too late?! Or have i still got all day as such? Literally no chance from early this morning... was so annoyed 🥺🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh no don't get me wrong i have to give a helping hand 😂😂

NamechangeTTC · 18/11/2020 09:42

@charlsains I just go with within the calendar date.

So i shouldn't have sex today? 😅

NamechangeTTC · 18/11/2020 10:30

I don’t understand your post if I’m honest? If he came inside you you don’t need to bother. If you want to you can go again

charlsains · 18/11/2020 11:00

@NamechangeTTC

No he didnt thats what i mean, he pulled out to stop himself coming too soon but it was too late so it wasn't inside by the time he pulled out 😅 sorry i'm just stressing...thanks for replying. Hope everyone's well today x
NamechangeTTC · 18/11/2020 11:06

So if he didn’t ejaculate inside I’d not count today as done.

charlsains · 18/11/2020 11:13

Thank you 🙏🏻

@charlsains oh no thats so annoying about him pulling out! These things happen. Sounds like you're doing it lots anyway im sure you'll make up for it! What CD are you?

I think I may have messed up my plan slightly... my OPK's have started coming down so I think I missed my peak (must have been at some point between my multiple "strong but not quite stronger" lines.

It goes
Day 19 - DTD am
Day 20 - possible peak, no sex
Day 21 - OPK fainter, DTD am and pm
Day 22 (today) - OPK's even fainter

Cant do anything about it now I guess. Will DTD today and tomorrow!

Thank you, we have since rectified it so to speak so stil on plan 😂 we can go weeks without so it will alot for us 😂 i am cd 11 now ❤️

Oh no!! To be fair i think given you did it twice the following day you should be safe! Try not to stress too much lovey xx

HollowayL31 · 19/11/2020 07:52

Morning everyone, how are we all doing? I'm 7dpo normally I'm looking everyday but this month is the first I just haven't bothered! Surprised I'm already at 7 without even looking at my ap 😂 anyone have any symptoms? Anyone testing a soon? X

Memcf2 · 19/11/2020 09:27

@HollowayL31 I'm a day ahead of you at 8dpo and trying to resist testing although I know its far too early.

HollowayL31 · 19/11/2020 11:03

@Memcf2 aww that's exciting! I know I'm
The same I keep thinking when I could possibly test but just don't want to have the disappointment 😂

anon0704 · 19/11/2020 12:16

Okay, here we go. I'm on CD 7, so SMEP starts tomorrow! Very excited, OPKs at the ready! Let's do this!

Anothercycle · 19/11/2020 12:19

Hi everyone can I join you all? First month doing SMEP. Wishing you all loads of luck

Haven’t had an LH surge I’m on CD 15 now so hoping it shows the next couple of days. Normally ovulate around CD 16 but would have had my peak by now! Anyone had an early peak and missed it - we’ve been DTD every other day since the end of last AF

Look forward to seeing those in TWW have some BFPs hopefully 🤞🏻

Gamechanger2019 · 19/11/2020 12:45

I think I’m out for the month, but 5 days early than normal 😭

NamechangeTTC · 19/11/2020 13:00

@Anothercycle I didn’t ovulate till day 21 this cycle which was unusual for me, and started smep from day 8 so was a bit fed up!!

@Gamechanger2019 IB?

Anothercycle · 19/11/2020 15:14

@NamechangeTTC hopefully I get my peak soon as well! Can imagine I’m only on day 15 and already getting fed up from
CD 7 haha

HoneysuckleHalliana · 19/11/2020 15:49

Can't believe it! No IB this time, but the constant exhaustion made me check. Feels so weird to see it written out like that Shock
