Hi Guys

I've been NTNP since September 2008 trying hard for four months and im really trying to get that BFP this cycle.:happydance: it would be the perfect celebration to 2 years of secretly wanting a baby

I'm using
Clearblue Fertility monitor 3rd month
Temping
SMEP never been able to stick to it before
Pregnacare conception - 3rd month taking them
Pre seed -2nd month trying it
EPO since CD1 to Ovulation
Flaxseed oil since CD1 whole cycle
lots of water 2 litres a day
Organic grapefruit juice until ovulation
Yoga 1st month trying

I have never had ewcm so im thinking this cycle i need to do everything possible to get some before i go to the doctors

Is there anything else i should add? Am i on the right track?

I'm on a mission to get that elusive BFP this month so anyone that wants to join me please do we can encourage eachother:flower:

Baby dust to all
 
Hey hun you sound like you have it all planned...here is hoping for a BFP this month for us all! x
 
Try you and your oh on maca.. it's very beneficial for both of you especial oh's little swimmers :thumbup:

Oh Thank you Gemie

where did you buy it from and what dosage did you use?

i've been looking at 1000mg capsules from
https://www.virilityhealth.com/high-strength-maca-1000-mg.php
 
do you take extra folic acid or vitamin C? this sometimes helps,

we are on:

angus castus
prenatal vitamins
aspirin
folic acid
vit C
Wild yam at the end of cycle (increases progestrone levels)
maca & horny goats weed

we use:
temp/cm/cervix charting
softcups
pre-seed
fertility monitor
clear-blue ovulation tests


tried the SMEP never really helped tbh.
was tempted to take soy isoflavones but because have PCOS been advised against it.
 
i have extra folic acid so i'll add that too

I'm also thinking of taking 200mg of soya isoflavones CD3 to 7 and Maca fruit smoothies ;)

i'll keep everyone posted
 
This was the first month that we used soft cups (in addition to temping, vits, yoga, grapefruit juice and pre-seed) and I think it made a difference.
 
Good Luck Sweetie,
sorry i haven't got any advise to offer at this time
x
 
SOunds like you are doing great, perhaps try soft cups too? I'm trying one (a moon cup) for the first time and they're supposed to be good!
 
Is your OH taking something? DH is taking wellman, ginseng & flaxseed for those little :spermy:
 
Oh takes wellman when i nag him, but i'm gonna start adding Flaxseed and maca powder in our meals ;)
 
I use softcups too im not sure its helping, i seem to get more stuff on the outside then inside really
 
I've purchased
Maca powder im using it in all my cooking and making my own capsules we are taking 2 day.

taking 800mg of folic acid

I've started soy days 3 to 7 to insure i ovulate last month i just got highs on my CBFM

Also started vaginal temping too to check i defo ovulate

I'm creating a diet plan with the information from this thread https://www.babyandbump.com/trying-to-conceive/172608-increasing-your-chances-fertility-naturally.html

Its an absolute god send best read i've had in ages
 
What do you mean 2 years of "secretly wanting a baby"? Were you trying to get KU without YH knowing?

Drinking green tea can also help increase your amount of CM, so you could try that as well.

Most doctors will meet with you if it's been a year of TTC, so you could call to make an appointment now. You could always cancel it if you get KU this cycle.

Just remember that a healthy couple has only a 20% chance of conception each cycle, so don't be too hard on yourself if this isn't the month for you. Talk to your doctor about getting a referral for an RE to check for any issues.

Good luck!
 
LOL!

just reading back what that sounds like... i mean 2 years just living life wanting a child but being non nonchalant when it was mentioned. not doing anything to make it happen even though i wanted it to happen.. hopefully that makes sense.

believe me im the most chilled person I just want to maximise my chances

i've already had bloods done and a scan when we decided to try seriously im fine.
I suppose if we try this hard until January and nothing i'll get OH to get tested too.

I dont think hes has the issue though. I'm the one that smoked for 13 years i just think i need to get healthy.

I have green tea in the cupboard i'll start that in the morning instead of hot chocolate :)

I thought that was what you meant - I just wanted to make sure ;)

Getting healthy definately can't hurt your chances. Whenever I drink green tea I can definately tell the difference in my amount of CM. Plus it's way fewer calories thatn hot cocoa!

Congrats Wildflower:happydance:

hopefully i'll be joining you soon:flower:
 
Sounds like you're doing everything you can! Hope it all works - am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Had a smile at Wildflower's comments about green tea helping with CM and having less calories than hot choc. I know it's true ..... but I also know which one I actually enjoy drinking and the 2 don't go together. Can they start making hot choc flavoured green tea please!
 
LOL I wish... i did cut down on the hot choc this cycle and had lots green tea :)
praying for that BFP this month!!!!

How'd you get on this cycle? Has your eye improved?
 
Didn't try much this cycle - I was keen too but my DH was worried about me not being well enough. Am going to be on a real mission next month though as really want to be able to phone up and cancel appointment with fertility specialist in November! I feel fine now - except for my eye which is still pretty dodgy. Hoping to get back to work soon!
