SMEP - success rate?

[Ecgx]

Hi ladies,

I am 7/8 dpo and just have a feeling this month is not my month.

I have seen lots of people writing about smep can someone explain it to me properly and if it’s worked for them. I may give it a try next cycle as we always seem to dtd a lot around the fertile week but maybe it will help give it some structure.

So this worked for us the first month we tried it. I was 36 and it was cycle 3 for us, 2nd DC, now 23 weeks pregnant.

Basically on day 8 of cycle start having sex every other day. When you get a positive ovulation test (cheap ones are fine) DTD every day for 3 days, then skip a day and DTD 1 more time. It is a lot of effort but I'm convinced it worked for us. I was ovulating earlier that I thought and must have missed it in previous month's X

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope it is going well! I posted this last night and this morning I had these very faint lines approx 9/10 dpo… so I am hoping maybe I am not needing to do this now but just in case it doesn’t work out I will be jumping on that! Thank you for replying xx

@Ecgx how wonderful!! Congratulations! Looks like a BFP to me 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@FoodFann thank you! I am trying to be optimistic because it’s going to be early and a faint one but for now I will take it! Test again in a few days to be sure x

@Ecgx congratulations x

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 thank you x
