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

@FoodFann yeah I’m definitely pregnant. This test was 11DPO. I haven’t tested since, we are on holiday in Spain. It’s been a great distraction.

Congrats

This thread has gone so quiet! Is everyone just very tired after SMEPing??

ttcthoughts · 03/11/2023 05:58

Hi @ChildrenOfTheQuorn I got my bfp in august but unfortunately it ended in another miscarriage. I’ll be back to TTC this month but I don’t know if I have the energy for smepping! Maybe a version of it ☺️

how are you getting on?

( we had to avoid trying to concieve last month though due to an abdomen ct scan)

Hey ladies,

I really hope you both get your BFPs this month.

im ok. Nearly 18 weeks now and I still have a full sickness and struggling with the constant nausea 🙈🙈 xx

rosecbrm · 05/12/2023 10:36

@Blessedmummytobe sounds good!

CD7 for me, nothing to report 😂

@ttcthoughts aww hopefully you can get some rest over the Xmas period! X

ttcbabyno1x · 05/12/2023 20:26

Hi ladies!
currently ttc baby number 1. Been off contraception 2 years but properly ttc with ovulation sticks etc about 7 months 😢 someone mentioned SMEP to me recently so been researching it and came across this thread! Trying it for the first time this month.. only on CD9 so long month to go!! Anyone else trying SMEP this month? x

rosecbrm · 10/12/2023 09:20

@ttcbabyno1x hey lovely!

I am roughly, I guess but I'm not really tracking this month! I think I'm around CD12 and we DTD on cd9 & 10, will go again tonight x

Blessedmummytobe · 10/12/2023 12:31

@ttcbabyno1x i have followed this month. Not fully though. Didn’t do the extra day. I was so tired. Don’t think it’s worked for me this month tbh. 2 days before AF shows. Negative preg tests…

Hey all. I’ll join you this month 😍we had a missed miscarriage in August. Been trying ever since. Had a lot of sex but nothings materialised, so giving this a go. On cycle day 11, dtd on 7,9, now 11. Last 3 cycles been all over the place. First one since mc was day 38 , second day 15 and third day 19. I’ve said if it doesn’t work this month I’m out for good. We already have an 8 yr old and I’m 42 so maybe it’s too late. Let’s see what x mas brings. Good luck everyone. ❤️

Hollycharlie · 12/12/2023 18:30

I meant ovulation day was day 38 after mc, second cycle ovulation day 15 and third cycle ovulation day 19. So who knows when I’ll ovulation this month . Find the lh strips helpful. I have had far heavier periods since mc so no idea what that means. When I got pregnant in May I wasn’t even trying and we barely dtd so I’m shocked I’ve not become pregnant again after all the info saying it’s far easier to get pregnant right after a mc .

ttcthoughts · 04/01/2024 20:22

Hi Ladies how are you all getting on? Xx

Hollycharlie · 04/01/2024 20:33

@ttcthoughts hey, I’m on dpo 13 after first month of Smep….. lots of positive signs but could be in my head planning to test Saturday. 😬

Peonies94 · 04/01/2024 21:28

Hi! Thought I’d join if that’s okay! Used SMEP alongside Ovusense when ttc my first, back ttc baby 2 now! Over a year ttc baby 1, so hoping this is quicker 🤞🏻!

ttcthoughts · 05/01/2024 05:33

@Hollycharlie thats super exciting! I’m impressed you will wait for Saturday 😂 I couldn’t not test early 🙈🙈

Blessedmummytobe · 05/01/2024 08:49

Hi everyone! Happy New Year 🫶🏾
@ttcthoughts I’m ok. How are you?

Currently somewhere between 8-10dpo. As I didn’t track pre ovulation this month but I know I did as I felt it (my body feels different lol) we managed days 10,11,12,15 and 18. According to my apps 15 or 16 would have been my ovulation day. I did test ovulation after to see if my levels had dropped and they were somewhat elevated for me on day 21/21 measuring upto 0.6 on the pre mom app. I’m usually very high or very low on there.

I ordered some cheap One Step test off Amazon to get me through my TWW (which is also a TWW till I start my new job! So I have tooooo much testing time on my hands!)

I seem to have a faint line on one test (with colour but hard to capture on pics)…some reviews were bad stating positives for peoples 85 year old grannies, their husband and tap water (shout out all the pregnant taps!). I tested my tap to see if she’s with child and she’s not 🤞🏾

I did wake up feeling a bit queasy today but I do feel like the before AF sometimes.

I’ll try again with a FRER a more expensive brand in 4 days when I’m late…but oh how lovely it would be to start the year (and my new job) pregnant!

Praying that those of us wanting children will get them this year ❤️

My test is the top one, the tap is below ha. I might test my OH too lol x
