i read something very interesting when i was researching the first cycle after a m/c/ and i found something called the egg meets sperm plan. have any of you heard of it? it suggests that 40% of women on this plan get pregnant their very first month ttc, compared to the 20% of women who are not on this plan. so here it is. and it goes right along with our plan as a group!! let me know what you think!

Whether you are trying again after a miscarriage, or frustrated that you can't seem to get pregnant again after a successful pregnancy, this plan is for women who have gotten pregnant in the past, and therefore do not have significant infertility problems that need to be tested and treated. It is also a good plan to try for a first pregnancy if you want to do something serious to increase your chances before finally going in for a doctor visit about fertility.

Even if you have had an easy time getting pregnant in the past, pregnancy tends to change your hormonal makeup, so sometimes timing is not the same as it was before. This plan will ensure that sperm gets to your egg. Whether or not a viable pregnancy results (the odds are about 1 in 4 even if you time it right), is up to nature.

Be prepared for a month of serious loving!

The Plan

Short Version:
"Try" every other night starting Day 8
Buy 10 ovulation predictor kit sticks
Begin ovulation testing on Day 10
When test is positive, "try" that night, plus two additional nights in a row
Skip one night, then do one last "try"
Take a home pregnancy test 15 days after your ovulation test was positive, if your period has not begun
If your ovulation test never goes positive, continue "trying" every other night until Day 35, then do a pregnancy test if your period has not begun.
Statistics coming in from women who write me show that about 40% of post-miscarriage women will get pregnant on the first try if they are faithful to the plan, about double the number of the normal population who are not on the plan. This assumes, of course, that you waited for a normal cycle to begin after your loss, and did not begin trying before having a period after a miscarriage. Many women do not ovulate in that first cycle.

i would like to join. We arent necessarily TTC but we arent preventing and just hoping for the best....i do have OPKs though so i have an idea of when we should be doing it but thats only for one month. It wont be a continuos process of OPKing......

heres to lots of

 

[mammag]

welcome to all the new members! i hope you all stick around, and here's to lots and lots of christmas babies!!!!

 

[JayDee]

Still feeling chilled out ladies?
I like the sound of you plan mammag - I guess it's worth a go for people TTC#1 as well, but will only help if there are no fertility problems.
I think I've been doing similar anyway, just without the ovulation test sticks, more guessing when it's going to be. Can't say how well it may or may not be working given I don't even know if I'm ov yet after BCP - look out for my BFP any time soon (I hope!!)

 

[glitterbug]

Hello ladies. Can I join? This is my first month trying and I would prefer not to get too full on with all the OPK and charting etc, just prefer to have lots of and hope for the best!! Not to say all that stuff is wrong, just that my OH and I are both pretty laid back and I think all that may take the fun out of it a bit! Nobody in my family know we're trying so its good to have somewhere to get advice etc!! Hope you all get your soon!!
