Followed SMEP after trying 6 months and got my bfp! It took a lot more work and eventually an ivf cycle to conceive my son so this is amazing!
I used the clear blue easy fertility monitor and opks. Started the monitor the day if my period and followed the opks for sperm meets egg plan on day 10 of my cycle. The difference is I used my monitor in the morning and the opks in the afternoon. I saw the surge on the opk almost 20 hours before my monitor. I also went from low levels to ovulating on my monitor. Never had a high fertility time frame. Followed smep loyally. And it worked!
Didn't notice any symptoms until 8dpo.
Then heightened sense of smell and back ache which is not a period signal for me!
9dpo light brown spotting in morning.
10dpo brown spotting all day. Figured af was coming early.
10dpo light spotting but not increasing. Feeling tired and moody. Very much af symptoms for me!
11dpo no spotting. Found that strange
12dpo light spotting again
13dpo couldn't wait any longer! Took two tests and both bfp!
Went to the doctor today 14dpo to get progesterone and to have my levels monitored until 8 weeks. Right now 4w3d and counting!
