Question about SMEP
I am hoping to do this, this cycle I have read that you start on CD 8 but some of the girls doing it on ttc seem to start earlier!! Does it matter?? My AF lasts a bit longer & im hoping that by CD8 i'll be ready to go (CD5 today).
Also You do it everyother day including ov & the day after then leave a day & then one for luck & then stop.
Does anyone know why it says to stop???
Thanks for any answers, I know it will prob be hard to stick to as oh will prob be tired but was just interested to know. xx

Starting earlier will make sure all the old sperm has disappeared and you can start with fresh sperm. But it depends on which cd you ov to be honest. If you ov on cd 18, you can basicly start on cd12 with the first time. (but than you are recommended to do it once before you start the plan to get rid of old sperm)
Sounds like a good plan! My understanding is that you start at CD8 as there's little point beforehand (except for fun of course ;o) ) then it's every other day to give hubby's little swimmers time to regenerate. Apparently they're not as strong if they don't have a rest.
Then I guess it just says to stop as the window for the egg has gone after this time.
I probably haven't told you anything you don't already know there but that's how I understand it.
Good luck...I remember we tried this and my OH was tired! But it's all for a good cause! xxx
I wondered if there was a special reason for stopping LOL.
I know all of the above LOL, however it's interesting what ZW says cause if a woman waits & only has sex on her fertile days there is a chance that the sperm can be tired cause they've been waiting around LOL (saw this on that programme agea ago) xxx
That's what I meant about emptying LOl cause they've been sittng there for so long i.e. if a woman doesnt have sex right up until ov & oh hasnt done it himself then there not as likely to conceive.
Cause it says then stop, I wondered why LOL cause wouldnt want to turn oh down if we wanted to do it again LOL.
Were going onto month 16 with 4 mc so as we had to have a little break cause of tests im ready for action & willing to try lots of things to ttc!!
Thanks for the advice & good luck to you too hun xxx
Is this from the sperm info on the front page? Or you just a clever bunny!! xx
