Sperm Meets Egg Plan

[Prayingfora2019bubba]

Hi,

I'm on my 16th month of TTC 3rd baby. We have decided to try SMEP this month. I'm on CD11.
Anyone else tried this plan?

Yeah tried it for the last 3 months and got my positive test just before new year 🙌🏻 it can be hard going when that 3 days in a row comes round but in my experience worth it x

That's great news Congratulations
I had a high ovulation test tonight and ovulation cramps so think I will be at peak tomorrow and then the 3 days start!! Husband will be happy lol! X

We did it this month and got a bfp... Ended up with 4 days in a row so had to miss o day - exhausted. But caught up the day after and it obviously worked 👍

What is the sperm meets egg plan we have been trying to conceive number 4 for almost 2 years xx

@GemmaJen congratulations!!!
@sazzle3 SMEP is when you start DTD on CD8 for every other day until you get a positive ovulation and then you DTD 3 days in a row, miss a day and then 1 for luck!
I'm CD 10 so DTD twice so far x

Ohhh im going to give that a try xx

@sazzle3 good luck 🤞x

Good luck @Prayingfora2019bubba
We tried this plan in June last year and got our bfp! I would definitely recommend it!

Hi! Sorry can someone tell me what CD is? What starting on CD 8 means? I'll def try it as sounds like it works!

Thank you @SoBoredOfWaiting keeping my fingers and toes crossed 😊 xx

I have conceived 3 times using this plan (although I may have missed a day here and there... so roughly using the plan!)

@mass22 I am guessing it means Cycle Day 8 as in the 8th day is your cycle - correct me if I’m wrong!

I think I've been doing this, this month without realising it as as thing. Now I'm excited! I was only saying to my OH earlier we need to DTD tonight, not the 9th, DTD 10th, 11th(ovulation day) and 12th.

I did read that DTD every day can lower sperm count though?! Makes me a little reluctant but we've been consistent as we can be this month so I'm really hoping for a BFP!

It's really hard to know how many times to DTD. At the moment I have done on CD8 & CD10. I'm CD11 today with high ovulation test so hoping tomorrow is my Peak so will DTD 3 days in a row and have a break for 1 day. Least I can say I tried it even if it doesn't work. I'm defiantly ready to ovulate as getting sharp pains in my right ovary today 👍 x

Worked for me. As other posters have said it is hard work but worth it. Currently breastfeeding a seven week old DD who was a result of SMEP success

We sort of did it this month and ended up dtd at least every other day since Christmas eve as I ovulated late (only confirmed with a clear temp rise this morning). Knackered by the end.

This is new to me. I've just read up on it. If I don't get my bfp this month I'm going to give it a go next month! Thanks

Congratulations @magpie24 😊 it will be a shock having to do night feeds after nearly 7 years lol!

Good luck to other ladies starting the plan! Let keep us all updated 👍 xx

Hi ladies.

First time posting on here.
We started ttc baby #1 in September 2018 just using ovulation sticks and the flo app.

@Prayingfora2019bubba we decided to use the SMEP plan this cycle and got our bfp yesterday.
It’s definitely worth trying. Good luck!

I've never heard of this.... but I'll give anything a shot now. Seems like it works. Thanks :)

Good luck @Cinnamonhazelnut!

'Spem' also means 'Hope' in Latin, which is nice 😊

And then I realise I can't spell, and am wrong anyway. Oh well.

I did it for a couple of months and it didn’t work for me. I didn’t ovulate until cd18 on both occasions and had +opks cd17 so ended up dtd 4 days in a row which was hard going!

We tried the smep and it didnt work for us. We have been ttc#4 for 2 n half years now with nothing. We have now been refered to our local hospital to find out why when we already have 3 xx
