July SMEP - anyone joining?

[Blessedmummytobe]

I’m on CD6. Starting SMEP for the first time in 2 days. Anyone else? Let’s encourage and support each other. 😀

How are you feeling now?

How has SMEP been for you?

I’m exhausted.

Hi all. CD1 here, just broke the news to DH that AF has turned up & we will be bonking like rabbits this month 😆 he didn’t look too disappointed! Ovulation predicted for 19th. Im 31, cycle 2 and I’m planning on using the fertilily cup and pre seed this month - not been trying long but need to get preg ASAP for various reasons.
as for EWCM, as pp if you haven’t been thinking dirty thought and it’s very stretchy then that’s probably it! I don’t get much since DD born for some reason so not reliable for me.

I am day 15 but still no LH rise yet. I have now convinced myself that I am infertile, but am aware I only came off the pill three months ago so may take some time for my cycles to re-regulate.

Fingers crossed the rise will come soon, I don't think I could cope with every other day until my period comes!

@Blessedmummytobe I am also quite exhausted, but also finding it really lovely to get some quality time with my husband.

@Blessedmummytobe I feel you on the exhaustion but prepared to give it another go if this month isn't successful, 6dpo today no signs or symptoms, I'll test at 10dpo I think just because I'm a POAS addict, I'm still tracking LH which remains low so we shall see 🤞

@Blessedmummytobe CD14 today and feeling okay. No niggles or OV feelings ( I normally cramp quite a bit )

And so the TWW begins. 1/2 DPO according to the apps I use. DTD this morning. I’m resting tomorrow. Knackered! Hoping and praying for BFP’s for all of us x

@Blessedmummytobe my apps all said OV yesterday or today but I haven’t had any real signs of it so who knows. Just going to keep at it for another few days and keep our fingers crossed.

@Baby3herewego for me one said CD14 the other CD15 took another OPK today and my LH had rocketed to 1.5 thankfully that was after todays impromptu quickie. Tested about an hour ago and it had dropped so hopefully i have a lil bun in my oven. Feeling super bloated and had some sharp shooting pains. #TeamTWW

Just thought I'd update ladies, I had a vvfl on easy at home yesterday(9dpo) and a little darker today at 10dpo!! Hasn't sunk in yet & haven't told anybody, I'm going to keep testing until af due just to be sure, maybe smep does actually work?!

Hopefully this uploads

Eeeeeek @Clairey3010 I can see it!!!!! 😀

How is everything going @Blessedmummytobe

Omg @Clairey3010 thats amazing!

Congratulations❤️ Wish you a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Did you have any symptoms?

@Baby3herewego I am good thanks. Not entirely sure what DPO I am. Had a surge Saturday night and it was gone by Yesterday so I think I’m about 2DPO. SO nothing to report yet.

how about you?

Thankyou both 😊 fingers crossed it works for you guys too!
i feel absolutely fine, i had no breast tenderness after ov which was different for me but I'm starting to get it now, I did have headaches from about 4-8dpo which I assume was just surge of hormones etc. Oh and I was in such a mood 8dpo, angry & emotional!!

I usually get sore boobs. None yet. All I can say is I have had cramps and yesterday I felt how I feel when AF is on the way. Hopefully these are good signs! I will be going straight on Amazon for some test might try and delay delivery so I’m not POAS unnecessarily lol

@Blessedmummytobe I had some strong cramping last night which freaked me out as I thought I was OV later than what all my apps had said. Still have some mild cramps this morning.

@Baby3herewego Did u do an OPK?
Have you still been BD’ing?
We’re still at but that’s coz we’re bored at home ha. I think I missed the day before my surgery and last day of the ‘3’ which was yesterday. Hopefully done enough though.

Surge*

@Blessedmummytobe I got my peek OPK on Friday so if OV is 12-24 hours later that would have been the same as what my apps said… still BDing.

@Blessedmummytobe don't worry I also missed the 3rd in a row which would have been 1dpo technically

Lots of cramping today and strong electric shock feelings that last for a few seconds and take my breath away a bit. Also feeling super hungry and tired. How is everyone else today?

Finally got round to trying SMEP this month. 3 miscarriages so far and hoping for my miracle but it's been 6 months since our last so hoping it's our time soon! Got a positive opk today so will be dtd for the next 3 days then will be starting progesterone from 3dpo

Hey everyone.

Hope you don't mind me joining. Good luck to everyone this cycle.

I'm CD11 and I did the clearblue digital ovulation test today and it says I'm high fertility with the flashing smiley. So going to start going hard with SMEP LOL.

@Baby3herewego I had what I could only describe as electric shocks low down on the right side around 6dpo, not painful but a strange feeling, only lasted about 10 seconds! Hopefully a good sign for you
