sorry for the noob question but how do softcups work when ttc? 

u stick em inj after sex and it holds spermies up there for hours xx
I'm trying to, but started bd on cd11 and opk all negative so far, today is cd12 and don't usually get positives until around cd15 ish so that's ok. Due to bd again tomorrow but the annoying thing is I'm likely to need to bd every day this weekend but it's my hen do on Friday and oh's stag do on Saturday and my mum is staying for the weekend so highly unlikely we'll bd at all!! Just have to try tues and thurs night and hopefully sun night if oh isn't too hungover!!It is a bit of a passion killer all this forward planning isn't it but then we're so sick of bfn's we both just go 'oh come on then, best get on with it!!'. Good luck to you all this month. Surely odds are almost half of us should get bfp's if we stick to it?!?! Xx
I kind of tried smep last month but agree with the above was a bit of a passion killer lol and it got to the stage where we said never again (we were literally setting alarm for silly o'clock in the morning on occasions to BD because we knew we wouldnt get a chance later on in the day haha) but it felt all a little too strange so now I just say to OH "right we need to dtd as much as possible this week!" For some reason felt a little more relaxed / exciting doing that approach. Today is CD12, due to ov CD16 so that "this week is going to be a busy week OH" conversation has just occured earlier on today haha.... If we still havn't got our BFP within the next 3 or 4 months I think we may try smep again but its a bit of a last resort for us - but saying that if you enjoy it and have fun go for it!! Wishing you all the best of luck xxx
We're SMEPing this month!!!
Last month we dtd 6 days in a row over ov, but totally abstained until cd18 (33 day cycles) I'm pretty sure I ov'd around cd 20/21.
So this month smep should seem like a breeze as we're giving ourselves days off!!
Will be dtd starting tonight cd 14,16,18,19,20,22 if that Sounds about right? Obv it may need to be tweaked depending when I get that pos opk.
Xxx
extreme smep is dtd every day from cd 10 to cd 16 if u ov on day 14 which i normaly do, i made it fun aswel as baby making hehe wasnt just a wam bam thnk u mam was some mr grey style in there to hahahahhahaha and i will do this month to, ok so this month is my first month of doing clear blue trials aswel so i ahve the smiley opks aswel as my own opks from ebay i always get my first + on cd 14 hopefully il get my smiley on cd 14 aswel and im also drinking grapefruit juice eevry day from cd 1 through to ovulation and taking robbitusen cough mixture from cd9 to ov day this is to help with ewcm as its dried up since mc so need a kik start,im not 5dpo im cd 5 so still 9 days for ov time for me, best a luck this month with smeping xxx

oh I get ya!
not sure I'm up for that![]()
Longingforabump~you just start bd'ing on cd8 or 10....then remember to bd every other day until you get you pos opk....when you get that you bd 3 days in a row miss a day and bd once more for luck!
So it would look like this:
CD8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 20! Assuming you got your ++opk on cd16.
Last month i bd:
cd10, 12, 14,15,16, and 18 Because i got my ++opk on cd14.
Hope that makes sense?! If not when do you roughly get your ++opk and i'll work out when you need to bd!! Lol
gd luck to us all on operation smep hehe xx
