Hello ladies,
I spent hours and hours going through this site (and the rest of the internet!) trying to find ways of improving our chance of conceiving. I read about so many symptoms and advice, but what I struggled to find was one place where I could find a list of things I should be doing.
So... I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on success stories. But with a difference. Instead of symptom spotting (lets face it we all do it, but it doesn't really help) I thought we should post what we did to get pregnant.
So after ttc for 5 months we have finally got our bfp and this is what I did...
1. We both started taking prenatal vitamins (was taking folic acid before this since ttc) Pregnacare his and hers Vitabiotics
2. No alcohol during fertile period
3. We used Preseed. Never thought we needed to, but heard so many good things about it we thought it was worth a go. It's fun too!
4. Exercise more. I already walk twice a day but I made a conscious effort to work out once a week getting my heart rate right up.
5. I drank 1/2 pint of pineapple juice every afternoon to help with implantation
6. I ate a handful of seeds (sunflower, pumpkin etc) every morning to help with implantation
7. I rested as much as possible. Fewer late nights, napped during afternoon where possible
8. We BD every other day after end of last period and then every day and then two days in a row over ovulation
9. BD with him on top (heard this was best so stuck to it)
10. Always BD during the evening and lay down for the rest of the night/slept without getting up or going toilet
11. Lay with pillow under bottom for at least 20 mins after BD
12. Made damn sure we enjoyed ourselves when we BD. I totally believe in this. If you enjoy yourself, you will get more cm to carry the sperm, and if you O then this is also believed to suck the sperm in further (dont know how true but worth a try) I also O after DH sometimes too
(In order to enjoy yourself more - because I know it can get more of a chore than lovemaking - perhaps invest in some sexy clothes, toys, costumes etc. Or an adult movie, or erotic novel. Wine and dine him - or get him to show you his romantic side!) Make love not just baby
I know this wont apply to some of you but hopefully it may help others. And I hope you all get your bfp's really really soon then come and join me and we can be bump buddies
...and don't stress out it will happen xx
Others please feel free to add your stories onto here too
