Sperm Meets Egg Plan

[Pollyell]

Hi everyone!

Going into our second cycle TTC, stumbled across the SMEP and a lot of couples seem to have had success with it. Has anyone else heard of this/trying it this cycle? X

@charlsains what is it that you use? xx

Morning ladies. So AF came on Saturday - wasn't due until Monday/today so was early and unexpected!
Tried SMEP last month and obviously didn't work. Didn't start until CD 10 (missed starting on CD8 as didn't read up about SMEP until CD10 so started straight away!) and then did dtd on the last day after missing a day.
SO, will be following SMEP to the tee this month in hope for a bfp 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@mommyofone2019 do you mean app i use lovey?

Thanks everyone. I got some OPK in Poundland today I have ten so i just want to keep an eye make sure i caught it not missed! Xxx

Just done an opk!! Wondering if this is after or i still have yet to ovulate but its not an awful line right?? 😂🤞🏻

This i mean haha

Omg sorry im having a moment obviously thrown by SOMETHING with two lines 😂😂😂

Hi OP, just to add my experience with SMEP...

We were TTC for a few months but not really following a plan as such, I knew when my window was and we'd DTD 2-3 times around that and hope for the best! 🤞

After a few months of that and the frustration of waiting the TWW, I came across the SMEP method and we did it and also used pre-seed as recommended (we missed the very last day) but otherwise followed it to plan and we got pregnant.

I dont want to make it sound fool proof as obviously there are many factors involved as well as some good luck I'm sure but certainly I think following that was helpful for us and if/when TTC no.2 I'll be doing it again for sure!

Good luck to all TTC!! Hope you all get your 2021 babies!

@Memcf2 congradulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months! Keep us updated!!!

@Pollyell I’m trying to not test til AF is late which would be 30/11 or 1/12. 8dpo at the moment.

Due to shifts didn’t quite manage to follow the plan but still managers to DTD a fair bit so hoping there was plenty of deposits up there! 😂😂 x

Hi All! Hopefully I can join? TTC #2 and today is CD1 with plans to follow the SMEP this month. This will be our 1st month trying to conceive #2. Just about to put together a list of the things I'll need. OPK's and conception lube 👍🏻

Been doing ovulation tests and entering my fertile period according to my app. Nervous I won’t get a positive one and my anxiety is through the roof :-( how can I relax and just let this happen? We want a baby so badly :-(

@anon0704 sorry to hear you are so anxious. I did some reflexology my last cycle managed 2 sessions and not saying it is what worked but got my bfp. Helped with relaxation. Easier said than done but try to relax and enjoy it. Remember squeeze in some you time. Good luck. X

Thanks @Memcf2

It’s just been a shit year. I’m hoping we catch the egg this month. We’re sticking to the plan :-) not missed a BD day and I’m waiting for my opk to turn positive. I’m really hoping we’re one of the success stories. I’ve been chilling as much as I can.

So happy! Look at this opk! Is it 3 in a row, one off one on or two, one off one on from today???

Three in a row from today! Congrats!

@anon0704 thanks lovely!! Been such a long time since i saw one of these! My husbands looking at me like i'm mad but feel like i won the lottery 😂🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

Cycle day 8 for me tomorrow...so back for round 2! I’m not sure we have the stamina 🙈 but I’ve had the pep talk tonight with husband 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey everyone! So came on today the day my ap said! Here's to next month... how is everyone else getting on? X

@gamechanger2019 and @hollowayl31 good luck for the coming cycle!

I'm still floating about on 2ww and majorly symptom spotting. Might do a FRER tomorrow morning if I'm feeling cheeky - just feel like I want to DO something instead of just wondering!

Welcome @missorganisedme, you sound very organised indeed! Good luck!

OMG, nearly there OPK! And tonight is one of our BD nights! OMG! I can't believe it! I was so convinced there was something wrong with me :-)

Thats great @anon0704, very promising indeed! Good luck!

Thanks @Pollyell ! I'm soaring today :-)

Yes, worked for me twice. Both times I only resorted to it only after more than six months more casual trying

I should add I did SMEP along with OPKs too. My scan results proved that OPKs alone were actually misleading. With both children, the scans showed I conceived earlier than OPKs were suggesting was possible

Well, we've been sticking religiously to the plan :-) So I'm hoping. We really need some good news this year.

Hey ladies. Cd6 for me today and back to dtd! Hope everyone is ok xx
