TTC #1 month #1 Any tips??

Cupcake92 · Mar 9th, 2012, 07:42 AM

I'm on month one of ttc my 1st I came off the pill about a month ago. I'm due on a week today, hoping it doesn't come and instead have a possitive test! But won't likely happen! We can all dream right?
Anyway I was wondering if any of you have any tips on ttc #1 ??
Anything would be helpful

Thanks in advance!

RELAX RELAX RELAX!!!

im on my third cycle.......my period came on day 42 when i came off the pill but settled right back into 28 and 29 day cycles the following two!!

try not to symptom spot too much (haha i should take some of my own advice!!)

are you going to track bbt?? or use OPK??

i dont do any of that, just track my CM instead thats a pretty good indication of OV!!

every day 5 days before OV and up until 2 days after.... this should increase chances of the

being in the right place at the right time!!

stay in bed, prop a pillow under ur hips.

Man on top helps keep the

inside.

ive heard female orgasm helps to draw the

into the cervix.

Lots of things us girlies try, anything helps right!!

In addition to the great advice Pom gave, I am trying a few "natural" type things that may or may not help out. Drinking grapefruit juice is said to help produce more fertile CM and also is very alkaline, which helps balance the acidity in the vagina, so the spermies can live easier. Eating 2 tsp honey (raw, organic) with 1 tsp cinnamon is supposed to have all sorts of health benefits, one being aiding fertility. Also taking regular ol' vitamins of course is important, be sure it's got folic acid. (Try to get hubby to take some, too.) Yep, I think Pom covered most of the other stuff I do.

Oh and cut down or quit on alcholol & caffeine.

I don't really have any advice for you, but I'm in the same boat you are! I'm on TTC Month 1 and just stopped bcp last month. We can be TTC buddies! I'm taking a pre-natal and a regular women's 1-a-day multi vitamin. I'm trying to keep a watch on my CM, and lay with my legs up and butt under a pillow after BDing, but thats about it. I'm not charting the bbt or using opks or anything. Just trying to keep track of when af starts, and what my cm is like.

I've also stopped having coffee and soda. I don't really drink at all anyways, so that wasn't hard for me to cut out

GL to you and hope we get our BFPs this month!!!

Cupcake92 · Mar 10th, 2012, 07:11 AM

Wow some great advice there! Thank you all! Well I was thinking about trying OPK but not sure if I just want to go with the flow and predict myself. I've downloaded an app on my iPhone called 'My period diary' and that also helps predict what date you may ovulate. I've only just started taking folic acid. And oh dear cutting out caffeine will be hard! I'm a big coffee lover! But I'll try!
Pluck15, I'd love to be TTC buddies! We can give each other tips and hopefully both soon get those bfp's we want! I'm a very impatient person though so its going to be hard to wait!
Thanks all again for te advice!

Hi Cupcake! How are you doing today? What CD are you on? I'm totally an impatient person too. I hate waiting on things! I'm CD 14 today and hoping I O in the next day or two. I'm not charting or temping or anything so I don't know for sure. But here's hoping that we catch the egg and get lucky in the first month!

Hello!
im not too great! so confused with my body at the moment its driving me insane!
i can't tell whether its AF coming or i have those lucky pregnancy symptoms!
Back ache was unbearable yesterday! had backache for about 3 days but today its been okay, cramping and bloated as well! and im feeling so nauseous, especially after ive drove which is really unusual and only want to eat monster munch at the moment! im really hoping and praying for that BFP when i test next week but not getting any hopes up!
How are you doing? im CD 18 now and i think im 7DPO cant be certain as i also am not using OPK's!
Good luck to you and here's hoping we both get those BFP's!
lots of babydust to you !!

Your symptoms sound promising! I'm keeping my FX'd for you

I'm doin ok. No signs or symptoms but I'm only CD 14 today. I felt a weird twinging feeling in my right abdomen area (ovary area maybe?) so I'm hoping thats a good sign considering if I'm on a normal cycle, I should O tomorrow or Thursday.

I'm going nuts waiting for the tww

! Crazy how I'm excited to wait... hopefully I don't symptom spot too badly.

I hope your backache and cramping end up being for good reason!

brittany12 · Mar 13th, 2012, 18:34 PM

if you ladies arent using opk or temping i would suggest to

every other day all cycle... that way you should catch the egg no matter when you ovulate!
