I was just checking out some new threads on the BabyandBump site and noticed a conversation about "SMEP". This is the first I have ever heard of this so I thought I would write it down as a reminder to try this plan in a few months when we TTC again. Basically SMEP which stands for Sperm Meets Egg Plan. Here is a quick breakdown of the plan:
- "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.
Apparently it has good success rate for TTC after a miscarriage. I have not had a miscarriage and neither have some of the people that were talking about it have. But a few people are going to try it during the month of March, and I am curious to see if it works for them.
I learn something new everyday and loving it. :)
