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

@rosecbrm I feel like I can defo see a line on the clear blue, and even maybe on the easy at home, my east at homes were super light at 10DPO.

@ttcthoughts there is defo something on the clear blue but I know they are known for it 😢

There is also a shadow on the east at home, I had the same yesterday but again put it down to an evap!

Will keep you updated xx

I can see a line too.
When would AF be due?
Really hoping for a positive outcome for you the limbo period is so hard x

@rosecbrm they are but I doubt you would get two in a row right and then a shadow on a easy at home?

fingers crossed for you

Thank you ladies @ttcthoughts @Belle89

Period is due Thursday! I really do think it's AF as it seems to be getting heavier 😢

But, feeling positive for the next cycle! This was only our first month so I was a bit naive thinking it would happen so quick! X

I used the easy at home opks and pre mom app this cycle. Recommended to me on this thread.
The first cycle we'd just worn ourselves out and missed the boat I think as we stopped earlier than we should as I ovulate a couple of days later than other sources said.

@Belle89 yes I use those they are great!

I thought we covered all bases in terms of DTD but I did have covid around the time I ovulated, so maybe it was that or who knows!

Thanks so much for your help xx

Finally…the home stretch. For this cycle 🤞🏾

@Blessedmummytobe that’s a very good peak!!! 🎉🎉

how are you feeling about the TWW xx

Amazing - not long to go now @Blessedmummytobe ! X

Thanks Lovelies!

@ttcthoughts im actually feeling hopeful this month. The TWW is actually perfect timing as I’ll be going on holiday at the end of it so I’ll spend my time packing and doing last minute holiday purchases! If it’s positive then that means I can have to chilled holiday I want rather than abusing the all inclusive bar ha. how are you doing?

@FoodFann what day are you on now?

x

Sounds perfect @Blessedmummytobe

Ladies I need some advice! I had very light pink bleeding yesterday when I wiped, throughout the day it turned more reddish (again only when wiping and very watery almost but very light bleeding) - I had 2 spots in my underwear and that was it! By 5/6pm I had absolutely nothing, sorry for TMI but discharge was completely clear too! Also all my cramps have completely stopped.

This morning I haven't had anything either, just slightly pink when I wiped this morning, not red..
I put a tampon in just incase as I am in the office at work today and didn't want any accidents, and I just took it out and it was completely dry with just a couple of brown streaks on.. then nothing again when wiping!

Not sure what to think tbh, I do sometimes get spotting before my period but this just feels slightly different... not sure if I'm clutching at straws though!

I'm sure AF will show up over the next day or 2, but do I count yesterday and today as the start of it when it does arrive or do I just count these 2 days as spotting?

Sorry for the long post and TIA! Xx

Great peak there @Blessedmummytobe! Are you feeling hopeful this month? Did you manage to time things well?

Fingers crossed for you!

I’m on CD19, but we only had sex once, on day 13, (apparently I ovulate on day 15-16, but I didn’t test so not sure). Definitely not holding my breath, I am 99.99% sure I am not pregnant this month. DH been working far too many hours too!

House move next week, and then I go back to work after DD1. I always thought I would go back visibly pregnant and only stay a couple of months before going off on mat leave again.

@rosecbrm sounds like old blood. Could be a good sign for you.

@FoodFann thats a good day really. It’s one of the 3 they say is needed if doing SMEP so 🤞🏾
Its O day for me today but I think I felt it happen late last night. Either way I’m having a rest I’m knackered. It’s been CD 5,7,8,12,13,14,16 and 17 for me. Today is CD18. we’re officially burnt out. I don’t want to see a penis for…a while ha. Hoping this is our month. Some of those days will be in vain as peaked later than expected.

ROLL ON TWW!

By the way how hot has it been!

@Blessedmummytobe thank you, potentially! It was just quite red at one point, so I'm not sure..

Had nothing since Tuesday.. a few cramps last night and today but no more bleeding! But they're very low down.
Also had a constant dull ache in my lower back for a good few days now.

Taken easy @ home and wondfo tests today and I'm sure I can see faint lines on both, but not sure if it's my eyes playing tricks..

12/13 DPO today so even if it was positive, it should be darker by now I'm guessing.

Gonna do one more test tomorrow and then leave it if negative and wait for AF, that's if she doesn't come tonight!

Hope everyone else is ok xx

Indent or vfl?

Came up within about 3 mins! Took this photo at about 4/5 mins

This is the second easy @ home that I've had this on today!

Not even sure if you guys can see it in the below?? So hard to get on camera! Much clearer irl! X

I can defiantly see a line!! This was mine at 12DPO. So looks very similar

@rosecbrm I can see it too!

@Belle89 @ttcthoughts thanks both! Yes it does look really similar to that actually! I've just done another (I just don't believe it every time haha) and it's definitely there and I'm sure it has colour in..

I think if I hadn't of had the light bleeding on Tuesday I'd be getting my hopes up! I'm just so not sure. I'll keep you updated with my test tomorrow 🤞🏼

Xx

This is my line progression I did up to 21 Dpo

The one I just took...

Amazing thank you so much @ttcthoughts that's really helpful!

I just worry with these cheap ones that all I'm seeing is an indent, but yours have given me hope!

I just put a pic on of my other test, it does seem darker!

@rosecbrm i do t think that is a indent I think that’s a positive

let us know tomorrow xx

@ttcthoughts I will do! Thank you so much xx
