So I have chickened out of the smep. My bloods are still rising & I havent got todays result yet. Based upon previous months symptoms I think they will tell me I have my LH surge today & I will be very suprised if I am wrong. I keep thinking about all the in the past month & I think I want to give one attempt 1 more go. The last 2 months we have done E3d & we ended up BD 2 days before & 1 day after 0. The first month we attempted 1 attempt DH released for nearly 2 weeks in a row so he probably had nothing left for our attempt. He has dropped the Olive leaf & peppermint tea too so perhaps his supply has recovered & I am just too nervous to do smep as it feels so "blue". We BD every 4 days so far with him releasing on his own once inbetween (which is a smep pattern I know) but I got him to hold off releasing last night as I think with ovulation pending tomorrow I need him to keep some in reserve for tonight. Phew! so over timing BD & trying to persuade him to stay away from his daily "habit". At least hubby has kept his sense of humour & instructs his to stay put & for his to get moving if only it was that easy!

the lab rang through with my results & confirmed my LH surge today. I already thought that was the case based on symptoms from previous months & a positive OPk but good to know I was right, even though my doctor thought I was missing it & the opk were inaccurate. Trust your body ladies! you know it well! Now to get the kids to bed so we can BD tonight I am going to have more bloods at 7dpo. Any hints to lengthen my luteal phase? I think that is my main issue - its only 9-10days I am going to try & miss a few lunchtime breastfeeds in the hope that I can reduce my prolactin a bit in the 2ww & help raise my progesterone.

Kc, vitamin b6 can help lengthen your luteal phase. You take 50-200mg beyond what is in any vitamin you may be taking. Also, olive leaf actually helps sperm, so I would have DH start taking that again. Good luck!!

Well, I didn't end up dtd the last time but I did do it 4 times in a row around ovulation. I feel like my bases are covered. I'm just not really feeling it this cycle. I don't know why. I'm just not very positive. I'm frustrated because I feel like women all around me are constantly getting pregnant and I can't. It's particularly frustrating when I know they don't even want to be pregnant. Sorry to be such a downer today.

Is anyone still doing the SMEP ?
Just wanted to check, and hoping to see more of you in the DD thread soooon
KC I know what you mean about feeling blue, I won't find out gender from my girl sway for a while, but I think baby is a boy.

Still doing SMEP here but earlier this month we should have BD'd one more day so I'm not too confident there was S to ME.

I had about 3 drops of pink blood mixed with CM yesterday. I was either 9 or 11DPO. LP is typically 14/15 days. I think its pre AF and not IB. Any thoughts?

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
