Wow momamia! And agree, 5 attempts could have definately depleted dh's swimmers too much. Will be here cheering you on until I start myself 😀 (hopefully af will be here Friday/Saturday)

I'm doing SMEP this cycle again. I did it last cycle but wasn't successful. It's my 2nd cycle since my miscarriage and 18th cycle ttc dc5. I have no idea when I'm going to ovulate. Normally it's cd18-20 but last cycle it was cd14! I'm cd4 today and will probably start testing with opks on cd9 (my earliest ovulation was cd11). I'm going to give it my best effort to stick to SMEP exactly as last cycle we had an extra attempt and ended up with 5 attempts in my fertile window. I'm wondering if it lowered dh's sperm count or something. Tomorrow I'll be calling my RE's office to let him know I had another failed cycle to see what he has to say. Good luck everyone!

I thought the same, but think I may have had a very faint positive.
This is after feeling pain last night that made me faint ! It was the same as when my corpus luteum burst last time.
So I imagine that faint line if it there at all will fade the next week.
Still going to do the SMEP plan, but not sure when I will ovulate now

Are we allowed to put links on here?
There's a seller on ebay (UK) selling the clear blue ovulation sticks a lot cheaper than Boots

I did a version of SMEP this month. & intended to do it properly but was so ill the week we should've been doing every other day, that we only ended up DTD o-3, o-2, o-1. So three attempts in the fertile window. I guess this means if I am pregnant it will almost certainly be a boy, but after 9 months TTC, I just want to be pregnant now! Currently 7dpo.
Good luck everyone ��

Fingers crossed !
Looks like you're in with a really good chance of BFP this month

FX for you honeybee!

Good luck honeybee!! I've read lots of people say they did multiple attempts when they conceived their dd. I actually have seen a trend among my long term ttc/fertility issues/miscarriage buddies on here - so far one has had a girl, two have confirmed they are having a girl. There's still a few of us left to conceive..... will be interesting to see if we do what we end up having 😀 were you swaying at all? Diet etc?
When will you be testing???

Hi everyone! My doctor is monitoring me this month doing bloods every 1-2 days to try & pinpoint ovulation (she isnt convinced that the opk are accurate) & why I am having short luteal phases (9-10days). We have done E3d for the last 2 months so now it looks like smep is our plan too. I am so nervous! It just feels so "blue" friendly. Although having said that, We couldnt conceive DS1 until we stopped BD every day. I guess the other thing that is forcing our hand is that we have been told to BD for 3 days in a row once we finally get some + blood results.
