CD 2, 3rd month of trying....any tips for me?

barbikins · Mar 26th, 2012, 11:35 AM

Well here I am...onto cycle 3.
DH swore he thought I'd get pregnant by now...but alas I didn't.
1st month, I had a chemical. 2nd Month, nothing....onto Cycle 3.
Last cycle I took FertileCM, Evening Primrose & Folic Acid. I have a feeling that one of those things (maybe FertileCM) dried up my CM because it's the first cycle I didn't get the EWCM. I read only a few rare circumstances where other woman felt the same. So, I'm going to stay away from supplements & just stick with my prenatal vitamins.

AND...I bought Pre-Seed. Never tried them but have read really great results!

Anyone have some tips that worked for them????

I also was tempted in buying the Ovucue but read some so-so results & its an expensive piece of machine.

Thanks!

I've heard good things about pre-seed. We just found out that my DH has sperm issues so I will be using that next cycle if we don't get a BFP this cycle.

Do you use OPKs to check for ovulation? Some people temp but it can get stressful but that is an option too.

Make sure to keep your butt elevated for 10-15 minutes after DTD. This will ensure that the sperm are all where they need to be by the time you get up to go to the bathroom.

Make sure your DH is not wearing tight underwear, keeping laptop or cellphone near his lap, and also it is a good idea to get him on a multi-vitamin.

Some of those supplements can actually interfere with things like ovulation or getting EWCM or changing the length of your LP (depending on the supplement - there are so many of them) so until you have trouble getting pregnant, I'd stay away from them.

Good luck and lots of

I would say only bd on days with ewcm even if its not an optimum time before you think you're going to ovulate. We bd the one day that there was a bunch of ewcm even though I knew I wasn't going to ovulate for another 3/4 days and I got pregnant. I never thought it would work but it did...that's the only thing different that worked for me

I would have sex every other day atleast near the time of ovulation.
You can lift your legs in the air for 15 minutes to let the sperm travel
Do not pee right after sex.
Try orgasiming at the same time
I liked preseed cause it was alot lighter feeling than regular lube. But if you don't get it dont worry cause you can still get pregnant with regular lube if thats what you use ( I happend to finally get pregnant and was still using my astroglide lube cause I was saving preseed for clomid that I was suppose to start the following month)
Try not to stress...I know I know everyone hates hearing this, and honestly after 19 months I could have killed the next person to tell me this, but what can it hurt to try right? I got pregnant on vacation

Use opks to track ovulation- I used answer brand and they worked great.

Thanks ladies & congrats to you that have gotten your babies!
I TRY not to stress (hehe) but it's hard not to think about what you're doing, right?
I'm planning to do the every other day through out the whole month. And I'm going to try pre-seed during my fertile week, O day & to replace regular lube too - can't hurt right?
I'm definitely going to raise my butt from now on though. I felt sorta weird doing that so I just laid down after BD...but feeling silly is worth a shot

Anything in particular that was a eureka moment when you finally got your BFP? That you were doing or not doing in previous cycles???

I think the month I concieved I did everything wrong! lol I mean it probably was just a lucky month. the 18 cycles before I did OPKs, handstands and leg raises, no urinating, orgasimed when he did, had sex at all the right times etc.
The month I concieved we were on vacation, I rode roller coasters, had a few drinks and had sex on a pool table.....came home with a tiny poppyseed
