Hi ladies Grin Has anyone tried the SMEP i.e. Sperm Meets Egg Plan? Any success stories or reviews? I'm going to try it this coming month. I'm going into my 4th month ttc. Anyone want to join? 😂

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 that sounds a lot better 😂 I’ve been making it bearable by mixing with a bit of orange squash lol, not quite the same!!

@Bellesjp yes the grapefruit juice really works! I was so impressed with it, had five days of ewcm and that's not normal for me. I really like it though, especially pink grapefruit juice, and you can make it into a Paloma with a splash of tequila syrup and lime 😋

You guys sound like me 😂 I’ve been taking conceive plus vits, omega 3, conceive plus lube and this month I’ve been downing a load of grapefruit juice as apparently it’s meant to make you have more CM! It definitely does but tastes rank lol!!

I’m cd18 today and got a nearly peak opk I think, was thinking I wasn’t going to ov this month but maybe tomorrow I might get peak 🤞🏼 My first month temping as well

@SemiFeralDalek I also opk, bbt, and feel like a walking pharmacy atm 😂 so you're in good company

@SemiFeralDalek so sorry re: the late loss, that must have been really awful.

I've done two cycles on soy, (2-6 and 3-7) and both times my ovulation came forward by quite a lot - to CD 14. I nearly missed it the first time, so worth starting having sex a lot earlier than you think. Hope it works for you also!

Committed SMEPper here Grin in conjuction with preseed and every fertility supplement going. I use BBT and OPKs 🙈

It's "worked" twice for us. One late loss and one chemical pregnancy. Fingers crossed for this cycle.

I'm CD5, first cycle on soy isoflavones though so hoping it bring my ovulation forward as that can be as late as CD25.

Hi ladies - I’d love to join you all! I’m going into my 4th cycle of trying and have decided to try SMEP for the first time this time round so fx crossed it works! We usually just do DTD around ovulation and when we feel like it other times in the cycle so I’m hoping following this plan will mean I’m totally covered! Because my cycles are on the longer side (38-42 days) I’m modifying it slightly following the suggestions in the ebook so I’ll start DTD CD10 and start using OPKs next week sometime. Best of luck to everyone! ❤️

Hi all thought I would also join! I'm trying SMEP plan this month, just gone into my 6th month TTC so trying SMEP alongside using pre seed - let's hope this is a lucky thread 😃

@Bellesjp I am the same as you - CD 17 and no peak ovulation yet! I've only been tracking ov the last 2 months and normally I ovulate day 14 - 16 so hoping I haven't missed it this month but will continue to DTD every other day :)

Bellesjp · 26/04/2021 13:35

I sort of do, as in every other day then when I get positive opk do it every day for a few days. Might try it for a bit longer this month! I’m cd17 at the moment and still waiting for positive opk, latest I’ve had is cd18 so hoping to get peak tomorrow!

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 25/04/2021 21:57

When are you due to ovulate this month? I’m on CD5 so just waiting now really...

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 25/04/2021 21:56

Hello! I’ve kind of tried to do this but modified it for the last two or three months. Start having sex CD8, but doing every day instead, but then the 3 days after the opk, and the extra bonus one. I think maybe I’ve stopped too early on previous cycles, day or two after positive opk, so hopefully this will work! Also think it’s just exhaustion after that, but I’m frustrated I’m not getting pregnant so trying to do more 😂😂
