we stopped using condoms after our wedding in june 2014. so that was technically cycle 1 but it was more like not trying not preventing. i started temping in july (#2), added OPKs to the mix in september (#4) and then got pregnant in october (#5) after following SMEP to the tee.
am not sure how to count now with the gap...i was pregnant in november, miscarried early december, we prevented december and january and are now trying again in february. so, february is cycle #6, but that seems to disregard all the "stuff" between november and january...most notably, a baby!
ttc for 9 months, on cycle #6 ←?
Me and DH started with SMEP last night, we are going to follow the plan this month and use OPKS. We didn't make any effort last month as I felt so down, so this month we are really going to go for it. Then at least if its BFN then we know we have tried :wink wink: You must be due to start SMEP tomorrow!? How are you feeling about it all? Im feeling excited to be be trying properly again 
You sound very similar to myself jumpingo! Its awesome that you conceived so quickly as did we, but such a shame they ended in MC
However, You SMEP story gives me hope and inspiration and I hope it does to you tooYou must be due to start SMEP tomorrow!? How are you feeling about it all? Im feeling excited to be be trying properly again
but today i am sore from the lifting at the gym yesterday and have a kickboxing class tonight, so we will see what happens.
i've heard all the "most women who miscarry go on to have healthy pregnancies" etc. etc. but some days it just does nothing to calm my nerves.
can't imagine how much more magnified all those feelings will be when i actually AM pregnant!
but like writingislove said, your LP should stay about the same length each cycle. even if you don't use Fertility Friend to chart/temp, there is a ton of great information on the website about cycles and all that sciencey stuff.i am excited but also terrified. on my good days, i am excited to try again, hopeful that it'll be a smooth 9 months, want to be pregnant again so badly, but on my anxiety/bad days i am terrified of the possibility of going through miscarrying all over again and just worried about how nervous i will be THE ENTIRE TIME now.
might just have to go POAS
I am either not going to ovulate this month or my cycle is out of whack thanks to my recent laparoscopy surgery 4 weeks ago. I am using clearblue digital hormone test and on day 4 of flashing smile high fertility. xx

Nothing wrong with some early BDing Always good as it keeps the 
nice and healthy. Sometimes in is hard to BD especially if you are tired. Like you I also work out so can become very sore the day after (tomorrow that will be me). For now i think its best to focus on the task in hand and enjoy the BDing :happy dance: I am now on CD11 so had my 2nd BDing session yesterday. I am not expecting to OV until at least CD 16 but thought be good to keep the in top condition 
Hi Girls,
Am very confused! I have 22 day cycles after stopping BCP in July 2014 and normally ovulate CD10-12, I am now CD11 and no sign of ovulation, no temperature shift at all. I am beginning to lose hope for this cycle
You might just be having a longer surge this month thats all, so you body is taking a little longer to gear up for ovulation. I have heard that you are very fertile after a lap My friend had one in the summer and was pregnant within 3 months
but it's totally normal to ovulate later or earlier. your LP usually stays the same, but the first half of your cycle can vary, so hang in there!
it was hysterical! nice and healthy and revved up to go!
