Hello fellow SMEPers - I'm so sorry that I haven't been posting regularly, my head's been all over the place lately. Just wanted to report that after two months of SMEP (6m ttc), I've just got my

! SMEP works!
This week on Tues (CD27, 12DPO, one day before AF was due) I had a spot. I thought damn, that's AF. Did HPT, negative. Then more bleeding started and carried on all afternoon and eve, and I resigned myself to being out. But the next day there was no bleeding; I thought, that's strange. So on Thurs (14DPO) I tried another HPT and ... BFP! I was so shocked that I did two more, and then went and bought a different brand as well, to be sure.
So I wonder if the bleeding was implantation bleeding. Some of it was brownish, but some was bright red. I've always tried not to consider implantation bleeding, as I've got my hopes up in the past when it wasn't true.
We've been trying a million other things to try to help conceive, I've been keeping a long list on my journal if it would assist anyone else.
Huge congrats to sherylb and everyone else who's had their BFP! Thanks so much for being such a wonderful group of people, thanks for creating this thread otherwise I would never have known about SMEP!! Good luck and baby dust to everyone xxx
