Hi all,
Read a different thread titled egg vs sperm method and didnt have a clue what it was so looked it up. If anyone else is interested....
Here is your to-do list for the Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP). You should decide to try SMEP within the first week of a new cycle. To get started, you may want to buy a nice calendar or print a calendar page from the internet. The first week of your cycle you will relax and get prepared. After that, it’s go time!
Cycle days 1-7
CD1 is your first day of full flow
Stock up on Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs)
Stock up on Pregnancy Tests
Mark start dates on your calendar:
CD8 = BD (“Baby Dance”/have intercourse/”try”) every other day until you receive a positive OPK (+OPK)
CD10 daily OPK tests
Cycle day 8
BD, and plan to BD every other day until +OPK
Cycle day 10
Start daily OPK testing until OPK turns positive
+OPK day
BD today, tomorrow, and the next day.
Skip a day and BD one more time.
Mark test day on your calendar: +OPK day + 15 = test day
If OPK never turns positive, BD every other day until your period (AF or “Aunt Flo/Flow”) arrives or until CD35
Test day (or CD35)
If AF has not arrived, take a home pregnancy test
First morning urine (FMU) does not always yield the best results, you may wish to try with your second morning urine (SMU) or an afternoon test after a 3-4 hour hold (no liquids)

Hello baby makers,
Thank you guys for all the positive comments.????
I received a call from the nurse today with results from my progesterone test and I have indeed ovulated. So looks like I ovulated before yesterday. She told me it was way to early to test today and to test next Thursday. I have been peeing so much today and haven't drunk anything besides an ice coffee which was at 10:30 and water to to swallow my prenatal vitamin. Please keep me in your prayers guys. Definitely praying for baby girl D

Took an opk today and positive!!! CD11. Last month it was cd16 which was late for me (usually cd14 - then again I'm irregular). Kerzie do you think it's the viitex? I really hope I'm not doing more harm than good with it. Concerned it might be a little too early. What do you think?
Oh and btw - we only bd'ed cd9 and today. Guess not so bad but it would've been nice to throw another one in there yesterday

Hey ladies,
Got to talk to the obgyn, he was giving a presentation at my clinic today. He reccomends IP-6 and N-acetyl cystine, the supplements that he says he swears by. (didn't get to talk to him much! but i got his email :)) I'm going to do some more research and talk to my gp. I'll let ya'll know!
UPDATE: Just talked the the pharmacist I work with. (Brill man, had two doctorate degrees and working on the next) He said it won't hurt to try!!
