Sperm Meets Egg Plan - Anyone joining me?

[mrs. martinez]

Add me this is our true first month ttc but I think this method is the best to get a bfp first time around!

 

[GirlBlue]

Hey guys, just wondering something. SMEP calls for you to BD 3 in a row then skip a day and try again. why is that? Why skip day 4?

 

[MrsFX]

Not sure why you skip a day. Maybe because sperm should survive 1-3 days so by waiting one day you have the chance of catching the egg if it released late.

is it just me or does this feel ALOT like fishing?

 

[MrsFX]

Yeah and I would be rubbish at fishing, no patience.

Hi Ladies,

Girlblue - you miss a day to give the spermys time to rejuvenate, it is generally considered better to have a day inbetween to let them gather and strengthen

Welcome new ladies I will add you to the list soon!

But why do you do it that last day if you've ovulated 2 days before? Is it just to catch a late ovulation?

Please explain what fishing is- I looked it up and only confused myself

 

[lanet]

I think she meant actual fishing

 

[cliqmo]

I think she meant actual fishing

Ohh silly Cliqmo

 

[MrsFX]

Yeah like 'catching an egg' is like 'catching a fish' I'd say this TTC is like really hard maths: I keep trying different methods to solve the problem but when I get it right it'll all be worth it for a big fat positive!!!!!

Hey ladies, I would love to join in. DH and I have discussed and we are gonna go for the SMEP. This is our 3rd cycle of TTC, 1st cycle when I got a pos OPK I got ill so no bd'ing, then 2nd I had thrush so no bd'ing, 2nd cycle I still thought we could have caught the eggy, but I am CD 2 of 3rd cycle now........so not a great start! SO we are going for it this month.
I have a question for you ladies re your OPKs, I never used them with my 1st pregnancy so I am some what new to them. How and when do you take them? I have been taking mine at about 2pm with no drink or wee wee for a few hours before. I have only been taking one per day - do you take 2? I suppose with the SMEP you cover all grounds, just wondered how you are approaching this.
I am temping for the 1st time this month also.

Baby dust to you all, I hope to see lots of BFP's!

I have only used them one cycle before and I would used them every day but after so many negatives I did not want to waste them so I checked my CM and when I noticed that it stretches without breaking and is a white color then I tested and got a positive. Here is a web site I found https://ibabydust.com/cervical.asp
I know when you so smep though you start testing at cd 10 and keep testing till you get a positive.
to you!!!!

 

[mrssat]

Thank you, Mrs M. Yeah I check my CM, always a great indicator for me as I get alot of EWCM (sorry TMI!)

I'm currently on cd13. It's going well so far. This is my first month using pre-seed and I have to say, it's great! I normally find BDing every other day would make me quite sore, but not with pre-seed, it really helps. DH likes how it feels too

i've heard nothing but good things about pre-seed. if i'm not sucessful this cycle then i really have to order some. hopefully it'll help you. good luck hun.

 

[Acaseofyou]

28329 yes I had heard good things on here too, I'm throwing everything at this unlucky 13 month ttc! I recommend it. Hope it brings me first timer luck.

Best of luck to you this month, and that you won't need to try next month
