    heres the simplified version:

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]-"Try" every other night starting Day 8[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]-Buy 10 ovulation predictor kit sticks[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]-Begin ovulation testing on Day 10[/FONT]
    -[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]When test is positive, "try" that night, plus two additional nights in a row[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]-[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Skip one night, then do one last "try"[/FONT]
    -[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Take a home pregnancy test 15 days after your ovulation test was positive, if your period has not begun[/FONT]
    -[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]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.[/FONT]
    -[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Statistics coming in from women who write me show that about 40% of post-miscarriage women will get pregnant on the first try if they are faithful to the plan, about double the number of the normal population who are not on the plan. This assumes, of course, that you waited for a normal cycle to begin after your loss, and did not begin trying before having a period after a miscarriage. Many women do not ovulate in that first cycle.[/FONT]

    what happens if you want to try every night, would that still work ?

    i don't have any ovulation sticks, is there anyway to do thie method without using them ?

    jcr - if you have no ov sticks I would follow the 'what if your opk never goes positive' and just 'try' every other night until cd35 :)

    i just typed sperm meets egg plan into google and read up on it.
    i saw it mentioned on another TTC website(just in passing, im only a member here)
  • hi all
    thanks for the comments! will try with an HPT tomorrow morning, when AF is due (assuming it doesn't arrive in the meantime!)
    Saw some discussion around OPKs - just to let you know I got mine from Amazon and they showed an LH surge for me - I think I paid about £6 for 30! Only thing is now I just use them up as they were cheap!:eek:
    Also I get HPTs from savers, it is 99p for 3 and they also work - gave me a + when pg last time and the time before that, on day AF due

    will let you know how I get on tomorrow. fingers crossed - hope its a yes as have been finding it very hard trying since the mc, just want to get pg again....

    hi all, back from my visit to the outlaws - hallejuh! AF hasn't visited yet, but i'm sure she's coming along. Had a little brownish CM yesterday but nothing yet. I'm about Cd40 today.
    Hope the witch stays away:o

    Bugs of course you count - in our monthly guess I guessed a random new comer - you can be that person :)


    *is in bed on laptop feeling incredibly miserable and upset*
    Wants to do an opk but hasnt needed a wee for agggggeeeees now :(
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    I second that!! Of course you count x I have had a really miserable day with heavy af and to top it all, have just passed something really horrible that freaked me out( Think it was some of the placenta maybe from the m/c but that was 6 weeks ago!) Have got appt with docs later. So hope its a positive Bugs x
  • :jHellooooooo
