Here’s Hoping Cycle # 3 is our Lucky Cycle!!!

As I’m learning more about my body during the TTC process, I’m making a few changes this time around. (I was already using OPKs). So ...

This is our 3rd cycle and I just started using a basal temperature thermometer and charting temps and cervical mucus. Also, we’re trying the sperm meets egg method (SMEM) this cycle. I’m ready for my BFP so fingers crossed 🤞🏼!!! Have any of you had success with SMEM?

Baby dust to all of you amazingly strong women out there!!! Good luck!!!

Good luck to you! This is also our third cycle, too. I’m terrible at temping. Never at the same time, rarely did I get at least 4 hrs sleep prior to (we have 2 Little’s that are awake at all hrs of the night!!). So I bought an Ava fertility tracker so I wouldn’t have to worry about it. Also used soy isoflavones this cycle bc (if my erratic temps were right the last 2 months), I wasn’t o’ing. Today, my temp shot up after 2 days of dropping — all my apps says today was my day based off that. So now I begin the TWW with a few extra BD sessions for good measure (just in case all 3 apps are off!) Here’s to hoping the third time’s the charm! It was so easy with our first 2, in my 20’s. We got pregnant with our second before I even got my OPK’s in the mail! Fingers crossed for the both of us! Good luck, lady!

And I hear you. They are expensive, but my bday was in January so instead of any other gift, i decided that would be my gift.

*ovulating. It’s been worth it, thus far, for the peace of mind that I’m getting temps and several other things that are trackable that help pinpoint ovulation, and remove the human error!

I was on the fence but through Klarna, they split it up into 6 equal payments at 0 interest (through their site). For me, it’s been helpful. Since my temps were so erratic, it’s not clear if my temps are weird bc I don’t get enough sleep before I temp, if I’m not consistent with time or if I wasn’t ovulatint

Good luck! It’s sounds like you have your bases covered for sure haha. Yes, the temping should be interesting. It seems like a lot of complicated stuff, but I figured I’d give it a try and hopefully it’ll get easier!
