I'm on CD 7 and am going to follow the smerm meets egg plan this month - is anybody in the same part of their cycle? Thought we could encourage and help each other out :)

I'll give it a go, although we're having so little sex at the moment I can't see us actually managing it!

Hi I've decided to try this now too. Had a cervical ectopic in September which was pretty traumatic one way and another. Have DD and it happened first cycle so was hoping it might be the same this time round but it seems not. Good luck!

I'm in 2ww but managed a pitiful amount of sex this month so I am smepping next month unless I get a surprising result!

hi all!! (v tired wave from all the DTD ing!)

could I join? I'm on CD 15. really strange period last month long but light following a mc a couple of months ago so put it down t that. problem its left me not knowing what was the first day of the cycle!

anyway trying t do it as much as possible but u do feel really guilty if u miss a night.

it just seems so important t get pregnant this month...Hmm I guess if Im ahead of you, I could give u hope if I get prego! Wink

Tried it last month/cycle and it didn't work Sad

On CD8 now of the new cycle and already DTD this morning. It's nice to have a plan to help you feel in control, I think. FX this month it works; for all of us!

just don't start too early in your cycle that's all I'll say otherwise partner will start avoiding been in the same room as you come ovulation time! Shock

Smorgasbord I'd do tonight and then night off tomorrow if I were you. Are you using cheap OPK's? Mine was darker today than it was yesterday.

Our plan is: Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.

That works out almost as SMEP. But last week, DH couldn't do it Thursday as he was too tired. Sad

I'm using cheap internet OPKs, got a faint line today so hopefully a strong line will come tomorrow.

Posted too soon. What's the reasoning behind DTD before the positive OPK? Doesn't the OPK give you 24-48 hours notice of ovulation?
