I think I've decided to attempt the SMEP this cycle for our BD schedule.
I'm taking my prenatals, folic acid, will take EPO and baby aspirin later this cycle. I'll also remember to use conceive plus while BD'ing. If this cycle doesn't work I will be taking every test available to find out what is wrong next month. Feeling that 'ready for my turn' feeling. FX.

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)
Got a BFP (big fat positive)?
