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

@Belle89 you are welcome. I’m glad you managed to see your peak - the app is really helpful and easy (for me anyway).

Stay positive. It’s going to happen. If you DTD when supposed to you should be in with a great chance!

I may try and do every day this cycle. Won’t be an issue for OH lol. I am positive for September. X

@HopeAndChocolate Isn't it going sooo slowly!!! Are you going to test on sunday too?

@Blessedmummytobe Sorry to hear this :(

So we’re going to be holidaying (in a very confined space!) with my in-laws from Fri-Mon and it would just feel really odd having to be quiet about it, especially if we do get a BFP as I wouldn’t want to personally share the news so soon. So as soon as we get back Monday we’ll be running to the bathroom. 😅

Will be checking on Sunday to see your result though @ttcthoughts! 🤞🏻

@Blessedmummytobe thank you lovely, sorry to hear you're out this month. Keeping my fingers crossed for you for September 🤞🏼

CD13 for me, BD yesterday despite the covid, I actually feel ok tbh just a bit of a headache and cold which I know is very lucky compared to how unwell some feel! Husband seems to have avoided it so far and isn't bothered in the slightest when it comes to BD!

Had a slight rise in my OPK today.. hoping that means I'm nearing peak!

Sorry for TMI here, but my CM has been very wet the past couple of days (not EWCM) and almost cloudy/milky in colour! Does anyone else have this in the lead up to their peak? Is it something I should be concerned about as no EWCM?
I've read that wet CM is also a sign that ovulation is gearing up! Not sure if I'm just jumping the gun by worrying!

Hope everyone is feeling ok 😊 xx

Morning lovelies, how is everyone feeling?

CD14 for me today and actually noticed some EWCM! Done an OPK this morning and it is getting higher still, going to keep testing throughout the day as I imagine peak to be any day now as long as covid doesn't mess that up!

@rosecbrm Morning :) Feeling ok 7DPO (I think) And having stabbing pains in my lower right tummy.

thats really good that it looks like covid hasn't messed it up for you :)

@ttcthoughts that's good - sounds like implantation? When are you planning on testing again?

Fingers crossed it hasn't!

@rosecbrm I thought this but I don't know if it would be too early?

Im going to try and hold off testing until sunday which is 10DPO. I have easy at home so may do earlier.. xx

@ttcthoughts I may be wrong but I thought implantation can happen from 6dpo?

That seems like a good time to test!

I just did another OPK as this morning was with FMU and I know that isn't recommended and it's positive! Reading 1.1 in Premom.. Not sure if it's at peak yet but it's definitely imminent 🤞🏼

@rosecbrm Maybe then, I just feel not very positive this month if im honest.

I don't know if I am able to wait that long though, I hate the TWW sooo much

Defiantly sounds like your getting towards peak

Hi girls, I’m going to give SMEP a miss this month. We’re moving house, and the stress is too much. Just need a bit of time off to chill. Also, I’m missing DTD for fun, without timing it and presaging ourselves.

Will still be checking in, and looking forward to seeing your BFPs! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Good luck everyone xxx

Totally understand @FoodFann - it’s a lot isn’t it?! I’m not sure I’ll do it next month if we get a BFN next week. Hope the house move goes well! xx

@FoodFann sounds like a good plan, Smep is hard work and i never managed to just relax into it.
Good luck with your move!

@FoodFann I totally understand we never do it properly as it ends up too much!

@HopeAndChocolate have you got any symptoms? I have had stabbing pain yesterday then fullness today, also weird CM, Like A Massive blob of stretchy school glue haha TMI Sorry

Feel like there’s no such thing as TMI on here @ttcthoughts 😅 But that all sounds promising! God it’s so hard to know, especially being my first TTW - don’t know if I’m just experiencing phantom symptoms ha. I’ve been feeling so tired throughout the last few days and I feel like I’ve had some twinges in the lower stomach today. How you feeling about testing this weekend?

@HopeAndChocolate I guess haha!

OO thay also sound very good signs :)

Umm I actually caved and tested last night haha obviously negative with a tiny evap line so not great, I think I want to hope I am and now with the CM ive convinced myself I am. which isnt good

@FoodFann totally understand.. this is my first month and it's tiring! All the best with the house move lovely!

@ttcthoughts your symptoms do sound promising! Have you tested again today since last night?

@HopeAndChocolate how are you feeling? When are you planning on testing?

CD15 for me and got my peak today! BD yesterday and today so far, will go again tomorrow and then I think that will be it for us in terms of BD this month!

Hope everyone else is all ok! Xx

Eek exciting times @rosecbrm! Sounds like you’ll have covered all bases!

I’m not bad thank you, have been really tired the last few days and have felt a few twinges in the lower stomach but that could all be nothing so we shall see.

We’ll be away with my in-laws this weekend (on a tiny boat 😅) so am going to hold off testing until Monday!

@rosecbrm i have these are the tests I have done a opk to which is darker

@HopeAndChocolate oh yes I remember you saying! All symptoms sound positive! It's so hard not to symptom spot isn't it!

@ttcthoughts it's hard to tell on the photo but is there a speck of a line potentially on the pregnancy test? I have such bad line eyes so not sure if I imagine things sometimes! Still early though if not so fingers crossed something develops 🤞🏼

@rosecbrm i do agree a little but I’m not thinking about it until it properly is up 😂

the one I took yesterday dried like this which Is why I’m not looking too hard

@ttcthoughts keeping everything crossed for you, keep us updated 🤞🏼x

@rosecbrm i defiantly will do 😊😊

Morning Ladies I took a test this morning. I feel I can see a shadow line again. 9DPO I’ve ordered FRER tests that will arrive tomorrow so I’ll take them on Sunday as long as AF hasn’t arrived

I think I might be in a similar position @ttcthoughts. I think this could be an evap?
