I took Vitex and I laid on my stomach after we BD'ed. I had read that 1 in 3 women have a retroverted uterus, meaning it faces upwards or towards the spine rather than towards the front of your body, and it's best to lay on your stomach after BD. If you have painful periods or pain during sex sometimes, that could be the culprit. Since I didn't know at the time if I did or not, I decided to switch from my stomach to back every minute or so. Come to find out I DO have a retroverted uterus.. and I believe that played a part of me conceiving. As for Vitex, I took it because I had read it lowers prolactin (I had high prolactin, causing irregular/weak ovulation). I think that was the MAIN thing that helped me conceive.. Vitex helps regulate your hormones and is a natural supplement. I really recommend it It took me 13 cycles to conceive and I am 21 years old. I used soy isoflavones for almost a year because it was the only thing that I thought would make me ovulate regularly. I decided to bite the bullet and try Vitex and I'm SO glad I did! x

I temped and OPKd. We BDd 4 days before O, 2 days before O, and day of O. I elevated my butt with a pillow afterwards. I also made sure to take prenatals before conceiving. Conceived 2 months after miscarriage

22 months. We were getting ready for ivf. I made dh give up drinking and I got my bfp in two months. Stupid beer!

We got our BPF on the first month trying. I had my IUD (copper) removed in February and last period was March 10th. I've always had super long periods/awful cramps so I just expected my reproductive system to give me trouble, even though my cycle has always been very consistant. Either way, we were shocked to find out that he'd knocked me up on his first go

On the most likely day, conveniently, we were out of lube. I didn't know that lube was bad for sperm until recently! Anywho, after we BDed I laid on my back for 10 minutes.

We BDed 3 days before, day before, day after and 3 days after suspected O. Not super planned out, just the days we felt like it. Voila.

DH and I have been TTC 32 Months!!

Months 1-6 just tracking cycle and ovulation (we weren't gung ho trying, but not quite ntnp either)

Talked to GYN about it (I was already being monitored for abnormal paps, and had had 1 LEEP at this point)

She tested me for PCOS, diagnosed.

Started Metformin and Clomid 50mg for months 7-8 (had to quit too muh for my tummy. Continued Clomid, and started estradol, and Crinone (progesterone gel) Off and on for the next year or so months 9-19 In 2010 sometime (early like Feb or something I had another LEEP, so now half my cervix is gone) November 2010, paps finally normal!!

December 2010 finally!! confirmed by doc, m/c chemical at 4weeks.
kinda took a break/back to NTNP

February 2011 !! Another Chemical, this time @3 weeks 5 days. (only had a + test for about 2 days)

Reffered to RE. Started Clomid rounds again, March-August 2011 ~100mg nothing

Moved on to IUI, clomid 100mg, 10,000miu trigger November 2011, 2 follies 65 million sperm post wash extremely hopeful!!! Low progesterone

Took a break again

March 2012, IUI #2, Clomid 150mg, 10,000miu trigger, 4-5 follies and they were biggins, 35 million sperm post wash.

21 D (actually taken @ 19D)Progesterone 27.3!!
9dpIUI !!
10dpIUI first beta~20 was told it would probably not be viable
14 dpIUI 2nd beta~179~~

Go in for my first U/S next Tuesday@ 5w3d hoping to see a sac but really hoping for 2!!

I was trying a year and the month it happened I stopped taking all my vitamins, used conceive plus, put my legs up on the wall for an hour after bd, started exercising 5-6x a week, ate healthy, and drank a lot of wine
I was pretty much convinced it wasn't going to happen so I enjoyed myself, and other than the one night 2 days before Ov when I used conceive plus and put my legs up, i didn't really try.

Everything I mention above I didn't do in any other months.

We were very relaxed about the whole thing. Other than stopping the pill, and staying in bed rather than going to wash up after we DTD, we didn't do nothing different. To be honest, we read the stats only 50% of couples who have sex 2-3 times a week conceive in the first 6 months, and figured we might have a while to wait due to OH's work schedule. So it was a lovely surprise when we got a BFP after only 2 months!

We did opks started them on the 10th day of my cycle and it's a good thin b/c I O'd on the 12th day. BD'd everyday starting on the day after my period finished ad on up until 5 days after my positive opk. I stayed lying down for about 30 mins after we BD. I took 200 mg a day of vitamin b6 to help with my progesterone. Also have been taking prenatals. He made sure to wear boxers, and neither of us drank at all during this time.

We had a miscarriage in dec 2011. Were told to wait 3 cycles. We waited exactly 3 cycles. My LMP was 3/1 and I got my BFP on 3/21... Very early, but very strong positive. HCG was 786 16dpo, and 1824 18dpo.

Hope that helps!!
