We've now been trying for a year so willing to try anything! I've been reading up on SMEP but a bit confused. I know it says every other day until you get a positive OPK but I currently use the clear blue tests that only give me a two day window so surely if we start DTD every day for the 3 days once I get a positive we'll have missed the boat a bit?

Does this make sense? Help!

I did smep this month (ttc 18 months + had a mmc in April this year) and was successful.

I'm not sure what you mean by the 2 day window? But dtd every other day, we started from Cd4 but I have shorter cycles. I was temping as well and actually ovulated on cd10, the day of my positive opk. We'd dtd days 4,6,8,10,11,12. We missed the last one because I knew I'd already ovulated and it was the heatwave!

There is a chance you could end up dtd 4 days on the trot, depending on when you get your positive opk.

I'm 5+4 now. Good luck! 🍀

@VenusStarr we are going to try SMEP next month if unsuccessful this month AF due Monday.

Going to hopefully start cycle day 7. I normally ovulate around day 14 x
