Sperm meets egg plan April/May 2021 TTC

[sack83]

Hi ladies 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? 😂

Hi @purpleskyssssss wow peak on CD29, well done for keeping going with it!! I totally feel the same, it feels much more positive knowing you’ve done all you can and I'd definitely do it again...we didn’t get it 100% right this month due to illness but I know we DTD close to O which is helpful for feeling like we’re still in the running this month.

Aw thanks re the cheapies, interesting to know- have just spotted some awful reviews on the Sainsbury’s own brand ones I had stockpiled so now looking for alternatives! I really hate having false hope so I think I POAS early partly to avoid that...it gets me used to it turning out to be a true BFN if you see what I mean. Whatever gets you through the 2ww I guess! Wishing you so much luck as you test the next few days, really hope it’s your month - you’re not out yet ✨

Finding temping challenging as I keep waking up in the early hours - in fact I had a temp rise this morning which I’m hoping confirmed O yesterday, but not sure I can trust it given I’d been awake for a little bit at 4am 🤔 if anyone has any ideas on this I’d be grateful!

Hi everyone! Hope you're all getting on OK! My news is that SMEP, soy isoflavones and preseed worked this cycle for us. I got a bfp on Tuesday at 9dpo.

An exceptionally faint line on an easy@home cheapie in the morning and then a solid line on a frer in the evening after a hold of a few hours.

So far the tests seem to be progressing so I'm hoping and praying for a sticky bean who is healthy to be our rainbow baby. 🌈

@SemiFeralDalek congrats!! ❤️❤️

Wow @SemiFeralDalek that is amazing news! Congratulations!

Defiantly keeps me motivated to keep doing SMEP and using pressed if I don't get my BFP this month

[SemiFeralDalek]

Thank you both

Here's my chart for this cycle so far. I kept testing with opks and had a high reading (just one, alth2i did a few opks) at exactly 7dpo which I think was potentially implantation.

I'm wondering if I ovulated quite soon after the first peak opk. My tests seem to have got darker in the evenings rather than the mornings, making me 12/24 hours ahead of the "official" premom guesstimate.

Soy isoflavones made me ovulate on CD 15/16, when it's usually around CD 25. I really am just praying this one is healthy. 🙏🏻🤞🏻🌈

@SemiFeralDalek I'm so, so pleased to read this! Congratulations! I know you've had a tough few months and am crossing everything I've got for this being a healthy, sticky bean for you. ❤️🌈 Thanks for sharing your chart (useful for those of us still learning how to temp!) and well done on all that BDing, mama! 😅

Unfortunately I've started spotting earlier this evening, so looks like another chemical pregnancy is on the horizon and I'll just have to keep looking for my rainbow.

@SemiFeralDalek hopefully it's just little bean burrowing in 🤞🏻

Oh @SemiFeralDalek I'm sorry you're having to face this worry. How are you today? Sending big hugs xxx
