Can i join this thread? I am on CD14 positive OPK yesterday..we have been following SMEP since CD8. Trying for three years...all tests negative and fertility doctors can not find anything wrong. We tried clomid, clomid+IUI, acupuncture and everything else i read on the internet..lol...Good luck to all:thumbup

Well would have loved to stick to SMEP religiously but dh didn't seem to be playing ball this cycle dtd cd 5, 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, got +opk on cd 14 so we will see what happens, got a slight temp dip yesterday and slight rise this am whatever that means as I really don't understand all this temping business, I will try and dtd again tonight if dh will oblige, I really hope we've done enough and will get lucky this cycle.
GL everyone and

*grrr* OH has messed up my plan! He wouldn't play ball last night so I've got a gap of two days rather than one. He'd better be on form tonight or I'll have to force him. *grin*

I've decided not to tell him about the plan as he's muuuch more relaxed about it than I am, he's more of the NTNP mentality whereas I'm POAS every morning and already planning temping next month, etc. etc.

SMEP is great for messed up cycles (whether after a MC or not, really) as the best time to DTD is shortly before you ovulate and by DTD every other day and then more when you do ovulate, it's maximising the amount of live & kicking sperm in your tubes.

Hi blueeyedgirl1 - I imagine a 2 day break wont be too bad, esp if you havent had a pos opk yet. My DH is also in the same NTNP frame of mind which is a bit frustrating, although he seems a bit more interested this month, maybe he didnt think it would take this long too!
Mrs Treasure- FX for you!! Keep us updated, it sounds like you did BD a fair bit around your ovu so its still hopeful :-)
ptntly - I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time of it

I really hope it happens for you soon!!

Hello! I think we have we are on the same CD! Sorry to hear it's been such a struggle, hopefully this plan works for you. I know it has been successful for many!

I'm still trying to work out my OPK's, thought I had my + yesterday, but by the afternoon it had completely gone! (yep, testing twice a day... at least - hello obsession!!) Took another one this morning and the line is back! Hooray!! but who knows when OV is actually happening... Didn't manage to get any clearblue digital OPK's either, which is annoying!!

Hope everyone is feeling positive today

Yep, lots of people have diff dates - maybe we could start a list so we know what CD everyone is on / when AF is due? Hopefully this could help keep track of all the BFP's we will be getting here
