JULY SMEP - Let’s go!

[Blessedmummytobe]

Starting this thread after an early loss in May. I’m trying to conceive again asap as I feel ready. Would be lovely to have others join for mutual support x

I’m 9dpo today @Belle89 not holding my breath as only did day of ovulation. I’m getting my full aches signalling she’s on the way….*itch! Lol.

I wouldn’t say peak but defo on the way as it was low yesterday. A peak for me is always 1+ attached pic for example.

Keep testing x

Morning ladies - happy Saturday!

CD10 for me, we have been very productive and done the deed already today 😂

How's everyone feeling? X

Feeling good! I’m out this month. Just tested. Stark white! So note to self one day of Smep does not work 😂 need to cover all three days plus the extra to get that peak! Atleast my period will have been and gone by the time it bank holiday meaning I can have a few vinos before getting back in the saddle.

im gonna try and religiously take me supplements next month too.

have a blessed weekend everyone 🫶🏾

I’m out 😭 AF’s arrived. September SMEP here we come 😩 This will be our 10th cycle TTC, it only took 4 cycles to conceive DD, so this is quite a surprise. Have got a sperm test for DH

@FoodFann @Blessedmummytobe so sorry to hear that both!

I like the positivity for the bank holiday festivities though!

@FoodFann i’ll be with you next month 🫶🏾

No AF yet. No BFP YET!

roll on September Smep x

Morning ladies, ah sorry to hear that this hasn’t been your month.

I hopefully have some good news!
I had a bfp at 10dpo but then a bfn at 11dpo so I assumed it was another chemical. I bought some CB tests just to confirm
and got another bfp at 12dpo and then this morning at 13dpo. It’s so hard not to think the worst when previous experiences tells me not to get my hopes up but for today, I am going to try and think positively 💜

Crossing everything for you @xxcxdonxx! Will you continue testing do you think?

@xxcxdonxx tentative congratulations! Got my fingers crossed for you!

@Blessedmummytobe how many dpo are you today? Do you think there's still time for a BFP?

Awwww @xxcxdonxx congratulations 🫶🏾

What days did you do?

Its happening for us slowly but surely!

@rosecbrm im on 12 dpo today. Period due tomorrow. It could happy but honestly…I did not do smep fully, caught my peak but not sure what point I.e beginning middle or end. So probably missed the egg 🫣

I’m positive (again) for September!

how are you getting on xx

@Blessedmummytobe @rosecbrm @HopeAndChocolate thanks ladies, I’m trying very hard not to over analyse every little twinge or when I go to the toilet but I know these next few weeks will drag. I’ll likely keep testing for the next week or so just to give me some peace of mind (although I know a positive test doesn’t show any progression).

We did cd8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17 & 18 and I got my LH peak on cd16.

@Blessedmummytobe you're not out until AF shows - keeping fingers and toes crossed for you!

Currently on CD11 so still very much at the start of SMEP - so far we have BD on CD8 &10.. going to try and follow it by the book as much as we can!

LH is low today so not expecting my peak to be for a few days yet! X

@Blessedmummytobe next month 🤞🏻

We’re due some BFPs on this thread soon! Good luck everyone

I just got a BFP - but on a covid test!!! Not sure what this is going to mean for ovulation... does anyone have any experience?

@rosecbrm Hope you are ok.
I have found that when I have had covid (3 Times):

1. No Ovulation
2. Late Ovulation
3. Late Ovulation- Normally Ovulate day 18 but this month was CD21.

Thanks for the reply @ttcthoughts!

I've felt a bit rough all weekend, no temperature but just achy and a cough. Tested negative Saturday so just assumed it was a virus but I have to go into the office tomorrow for a meeting so thought I'd test to be sure and it was a dye stealer positive - not the dye stealer we want!

Brilliant thank you, I'm currently on CD12 so I'll just keep monitoring it!

@rosecbrm How frustrating for you, I had it 2/3 weeks ago. And it definatly isnt the positive I wanted.

@ttcthoughts awful isn't it, as if we haven't got enough to be thinking about when TTC!

This is our first month officially TTC so I feel a bit gutted that it's more than likely going to be unsuccessful now! But still going to keep trying this month as we were and hope for the best!

How many dpo are you now? How are you feeling?

@rosecbrm Yes it is soo awful! its so frustrating the whole TTC journey.

Currently 5DPO. feels like the month is taking forever! I have cramps today too which I assume even though I had late OV AF is going to make her appearance on time,

@ttcthoughts fingers crossed that isn't the case! When are you planning on testing?

@rosecbrm I'm going to test sunday if AF hasn't arrived! just feels soo long away, I think I will be 10DPO then

@ttcthoughts keeping everything crossed for you! Keep us updated xx

I feel your pain @ttcthoughts - can’t believe we are only day 5. 😅 This time next week we should both know where we stand at least! 🤞🏻

@rosecbrm get well soon 🫶🏾

AF has arrived like clock work this morning….another cycle another Smep 💛

@Blessedmummytobe sorry to hear that!
SMEP again for September
Thank you for help with the app the other day, now had my peak so at the start of tww but just not feeling positive at all. Not sure why as been trying at the right times, maybe it's a bit of expect nothing then don't be disappointed 🤷‍♀️ convinced myself I was last month, it's such a roller coaster isn't it.
