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 said I wouldn’t but I did!

More so to see if it was below 1 which would mean I’d ovulated as I have felt like I had in myself (nausea and a bit crampy).

Maybe I still have a chance…💃🏽

First test this month - looks like a peak to me!

What app are people using for these opk's think I'll order these ones up. Af making an exit so ready to get back on it 😁

Ladies I have Q for you. I had a negative LH test Saturday evening (a line but neg) and then a very clear positive on Sunday morning.
That was my last test and my others just arrived this afternoon so tested again and it was quite faint. I’m happy that I caught my peak but I wondered if it was quite short lived?
Not that it makes a huge difference in the end but something else to over analyse 🫣

Excellent peak @Blessedmummytobe

@Belle89 i use these tests and never had any trouble with them. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JWSNUEY?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_dt_1

@Belle89 i use the pre mom app with Easy at home test strips. I’d recommend too.

@Blessedmummytobe excellent! Am I right in thinking your DH was away for a few days, is he back now?

@Belle89 premom and easy@home tests for me too.

@xxcxdonxx yes the peak can be very shortlived, but it sounds like you caught it, hurrah!

I feel we timed it well this month, only two sessions - but one the day before peak and the one the day of peak 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 wishing all of us sooo much luck. The TTW begins ladies! When are we all testing?! Can I wait all the way til 21st Aug?! Probably not!

@FoodFann i was away at a music festival. I’m back now. Ready to drain him ha!

Praying and believing the best for all of us 🙏🏾🤞🏾

Thanks @FoodFann , my logical bit of brain knows it’s fine!
I really hope it’s our month, for all of us 🥰

I seem to be in a pattern now of starting to spot about 7 dpo until af arrives (which is annoying and maybe worrying) so I think I’ll know pretty quickly if I’m in or not. That said, I did spot when TTC#1 so it’s all really a guessing game!!

What CD/DPO is everyone?

Im CD 14…I reckon today might be my ovulation day - my OPK is now negative.

Didn’t manage to DTD yesterday but did this morning, will do tonight and twice tomo 💃🏽

Back to the beginning of SMEP this cycle for us on CD8 and tracking BBT.

CD 15 for me @Blessedmummytobe - currently waiting for my OTK to change from high fertility to peak - has been three days so far and feel like I’m on tenterhooks!

SMEP works! First month of doing it (And we missed peak day) and here’s my BFP at 11DPO! Good luck girlies hoping for lots more BFPs soon xxx

@Blessedmummytobe currently CD12 I normally ovulate late at CD18/19 so I feel like I have.m ages to go! 😂😂

Huge congratulations @CinderRosie - what wonderful news!

@CinderRosie wow, amazing news!!! Huuuge congratulations!! 🤣

@Blessedmummytobe I'm 2dpo/cd19 so in for a long wait!!

@HopeAndChocolate hope you got your peak 🤞🏻

Thanks @xxcxdonxx - day four of high fertility 🙄 trying to not let it bother me!

Eek, the wait must be agonising! What day will you aim to test?

Congratulations @CinderRosie 🥰❤️

Im currently CD 15/ 1DPO not feeling confident as not managed nearly as much DTD as hoped. 🤞🏾

Let the TWW commence x

@HopeAndChocolate my opk used to be a lot like yours, I would see a gradual increase but more recently they are pretty invisible until I get my peak 🤷🏼‍♀️
Hopefully later today or tomorrow for you though!!
I am actually aiming not to test this month. I have been so disappointed the last few months seeing that complete negative. As I spot before my period that will kind of be my guide. It all sounds very sensible, let’s see how I get on 😂

@CinderRosie YESSS!!! Huge congratulations! Such wonderful news 💐🥂

@Blessedmummytobe we only DTD twice! But, well timed, and it only takes one little sperm, so you never know. 2DPO here.

@xxcxdonxx same here, I am planning to just wait and see if AF turns up. The month we conceived DD, I thought we didn’t stand a chance and wasn’t even thinking about TWW… it was only when I realised I was two days late that I tested and got my BFP. It was stress free, so I’ll try and do that again.

@HopeAndChocolate I hope you get your peak soon, but at least it’s high, which is a good sign 🤞🏻

@ttcthoughts good luck this cycle, the wait does feel forever!

That’s really good to know @xxcxdonxx thank you - I think I’ve seen so many people have only a couple of high days that I was a bit of conscious my peak is taking it’s time! Easy to forget we’re all so different!

That makes sense - hopefully you have plenty to distract you from wanting to test. Crossing my fingers for you!

Thank you @FoodFann - good luck to you!

How is it only 4DPO?! Ten days to go 😩

My thoughts exactly!! @FoodFann
This waiting business is torture 😩

@FoodFann this month is really dragging! I haven’t even got to ov yet 😭😭
