Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP) TTC#1 group Aug/Sept/Oct 2013

[fairyy]

Ya for the first time ever in my life I will be happy to get my AF. Because we are going to start SMEP from coming cycle. Hope it will work for us. My cycles are fairly regular. I can tell when I am going to come on my period.

 

[MrsWKJ]

My b'day is coming too in September. If I get my AF by Monday then I will be ovulating around long weekend. That would be a lovely time to start SMEP. Will be officially TTC from coming cycle. Yayyyy

I will be joining you gals soon.

My hubby's bday is in sept too so i hope i give him this wonderful present and I hope AF never shows up for you fx, but incase it does we are here to welcome you!!

Hi ladies

So on SMEP I have just done my 3 days in a row and I am now 2DPO.....

Do I now go back to every other day?

I SO hope it works out this month!

How is everyone else finding it? - fitting everything in is exhausting!!!! I'm pleased of a break today ha ha

 

[MIZZYD]

JerryO: I think you do 3 times, skip a day, then do another try.

 

[jerryjo]

So after tomorrow (which will be skipping today after 3 days) BDing is just for fun not to get preggers?!

Count me in! Currently at 2dpo and I have a 40 day cycle. DS is 16 months and ttc#2. DS was a successful SMEP on the first month trying. Have pcos so never expected I'd have him on the first try. Sending babydust to all!

Yes 3 days in a row then skip one do it again and after that you don't have to go back to every other day. Just have sex if you feel like!

Did he not cum the rest of the days or ejaculated outside? Did you get your positive opk yet? If not you're still in the game Remember it only takes one. So don't worry you are trying your best.

Although this is ttc#1 thread but that's alright I'll add you to the list. I hope you get your bfp on first try this time too. Thanks for sharing your success story. Gives us hope in this method!

Hi kimiflo - it's so nice to hear that conceived successfully through SMEP - I only started BDing every other day from CD10 but have done all the other stuff as I should so fingers crossed!

MrsWKJ - Thanks as always! What DPO are you? I member we were fairly close! I'm 2DPO xx

 

[MrsWKJ]

I'm 4dpo today. So yes we are pretty close! When are you planning to test?

I dunno ..... ??

Last month was my first month of TTC and was waiting for first period off pill and I test LOADS cos I was so excited at possibility but obvs I wasn't ... when would you suggest?!

I had forgotten how weird a cycle is off pill - my nipples kill post ov until AF - I had same last month it's weird how a body naturally works!!

SO hoping this theory works for us all - is it your first month trying it?! I worked out based on OV this month (first month I tested) that last month we didn't BD on day of OV if it was same day only each day either side ....

He did, just not inside me. Not had my positive opk yet but today's is darker than the last few days I'm also having ovulation pain/cramps today!

3rd month ttc and 1st on smep.now when I look back Last month I also just BDed on cd15 17 and 19 and ovulated around cd22-23. Its a learning curve so hopefully third times a charm fx.
I'm planning to wait till AF due date I think I can cuz the sight of BFN is worst than AF. My breasts used to hurt real bad before af but since last 3-4 months I just get really bad cramps starting on the day of AF last 2-3 days and nothing before that.

If you haven't had your OPK positive yet don;t worry although if it is getting darker he really needs to be doing the deed inside to ensure there is plenty of sperm to meet your egg!

Is he usually on top of you? Tell him that just before he feels like he's coming he should push himself really hard inside you and stay there till he feels everything has come out. GL x hope you get your positve opk soon

That's really good - hoping mine is still due to hormones from coming off pill, although, I read another post where people said they get sore boobs right from OV to AF too.

3rd time lucky I say!

I know what you mean, think I'll wait too - last month my cycle was 31 days so bit of a long wait!!

I'm hoping the the OPK's were right and that I did actually OV - I used it a couple of times after positive and the lines got very faint so hoping that's a good sign, also might have been in my head but pretty sure on day after Positive OPK I had really bad cramping in left side and hip and down leg....who knows!!!

Who knew it would be so hard - I grew up thinking sex meant baby!!!
