Sperm Meets Egg Plan Chatter thread!

[katiekittykat]

I just can't wait to get started on the SMEP!

I'm on cd6, but due to long cycles, we're not starting until cd15. I am going to start using OPKs on cd10 though, as I'm taking soy and don't want to miss the surge. It just seems like I've been waiting for ages for something to happen, and I still have another 4 days left before I can even POAS!!

Bit of an odd question perhaps, but you girls may know much more about this plan than my limited knowledge.

Are there any variations you should/could try if it doesn't seem to be working for you? We've tried the plan for 4 cycles now and stuck to it religiously and nothing. I have a very regular 27 (give or take a day) cycle and know when I ovulate due to temping/OPKs etc.

This new cycle I'll be adding raspberry leaf tea, soft cups and cough syrup, but just wondered if there were any additional parts or variations to the plan if no success after a certain length of time?

I am not sure but I did want to know what does the raspberry leaf tea do? Do you get it loose or in a packet?

I have read that it helps tone and improve the uterus lining, making it more favourable for implantation, but you're only to take it up until ovulation as it can cause slight contractions, which obviously wouldn't be good for implantation.

I bought mine as tea bags in a supermarket here but you can buy it online too.

I hope that helps

Well Ladies I have taken a small break as I am sure I have suffered another EMC. I was way late when I started and I bled twice as long as normal. My temps are strange as they have not changed at all except for today. I am sure this cycle will be way off because of this but I will start my OPK's today and follow the plan just in case. Looks like my new test date will be around the 27th.
