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

@Pollyell brace yourself for my weird rituals
Apologies if tmi!
We changed from preseed to conceive plus and inserted with applicator. Preseed made me really sore and almost swell up and it made it really hard to dtd.
I lay with my bum on two pillows for 30 mins legs in thr air, and don't get up until morning from lying down
After reading something saying orgasm helps conception, I usually tried to manually assist that 
within 40 mins due to what I read.

Hey @charlsains welcome to the thread!
I am using OPk for first time this month, it can be a bit confusing and think it'll take some getting used to. I'm only second cycle TTC so figured I'd throw myself into this one then if not successful maybe take a more laid back approach like yourself and ditch the sticks. I think I may be in my fertile window so should be DTD every day at this point (managed this morning!). I am using preseed lube and taken above advice re. Bum on pillow and orgasm 
Are you trying anything else different this month? Do you have a reliable cycle (unlike me)?
Xx
@namechangettc those are looking blazingly positive! Amazing. Xx
