Sperm Meets Egg Plan Chatter thread!

[mamaxm]

I'm so frustrated. I hoping this isn't an annovulatory cycle.

i'm with you. i'm waiting to try an opk, but man i wasted alot of preseed if i'm not going to o. plus i was so excited about this cycle.. i guess we'll see.

HI ladies! I am going to try the SMEP this cycle (cycle 8). I am just wondering if my idea of the smep is the same as yours?

I have cycles anywhere from 27-32 days. I use opk's and softcups (<- 2nd cycle using them). I plan to BD every other day from CD10 or CD12 until I get my first positive opk, then for that day and two days after, skip one night and follow up the next day with one last "hoorah!". Does that sound like the same smep?

I am CD5 now, I won't know when I am due for af until I start using my opk's. Either way I plan to test around april 16th.

if you're going to follow smep strictly, you're supposed to start bd'ing on cd8. but you can start at 10 if your cycles are a little bit longer, but besides that it all sounds good! it's a very nice plan, i've been very relaxed!

yeah that sounds right Julie!

Hi everyone! Congratulations on those who have got their BFPs. 100 per cent success rate is so exciting! I had a good feeling about this thread.
Unfortunately, my husband had to unexpectantly go overseas on Friday because his dad is really ill. Which means he will be away during my fertile period.
So, I'm out this month. Hoping next month (10th month TTC) is lucky for me.
Good luck girls x

PERSONALLY i don't think cm is a good way to track fertility, i get ewcm right before AF and watery cm throughout my cycle, unless you have a short cycle i doubt you're o'ing, but you should go ahead and bd and then watch out for that temperature rise. but what you do is bd every other day until you get a positive opk, then you bd every day for four days.

 

[mamaxm]

so no temp rise but CP is so high i can barely touch it and very soft. i'm going to just assume i'm o'ing to save myself some stress and go ahead and bd today, tomorrow and the next day (since we bd'd last night). i better get a big ole rise tomorrow. i already have a short lp, this better not shorten it more
i hope y'all are doing okay. i'm so irritated at my body right now i've got a migraine.

hi ladies im new to all this ov stuff and when to bd! HELP!

the easiest thing to do is to buy a opk kit, and then you start using it on cd8. bd every other day from cd8 until you get a + opk, then you bd every day for four days.

yes, as long as your cycle is between 27-32 days! it's a very easy plan and we've had great success with it!

well i've heard conceiving is alot easier when you first come off the pill, so that might work in your favor!

 

[parkgirl]

i've been ttc for about 7 months now and tried just about everything! we're trying to conceive our first. desperate for a baby, with no known health or fertility problems, it's just taking forever!
i would suggest if you have any problems conceiving though, to try preseed and softcups! this is my first cycle with preseed and second with softcups and i LOVE them, i've seen ALOT of girls get bfps using them.

enjoy! it's so simple and it really is incredibly relaxing, when i first read about it i thought 'oh, i'm basically already doing that' but for some reason following the plan is so much easier! i've barely thought about ttc.
