1. Buy 10 OPK tests PRIOR to cycle day 10
2. Starting on cycle day 10, do one OPK test EVERY DAY
3. Babydance (BD) EVERY OTHER DAY starting on cycle day 8 (hips elevated for 10-30 minutes after each BD session)
4. When you get a +OPK, babydance that day and the next 2 days in a row (so 3 days in a row total)
5. Skip one night and babydance once more the next day
6. Take a home pregnancy test (HPT) 15 days after the day you ovulated (or most of you will start taking your HPTs at 10-12dpo!)"

uterine tonics

bump (sorry about all the bumping ladies..i just dont want it to get lost)

 

[MsLesley]

so if u have irregular periods or even if u dont
you should have intercourse days 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22

you should have intercourse like doggy style but instead of being on ur knees lie flat on your stomach ( i know this sounds gross ) but you will have your hands free and be able to stimulate yourself (its important that you have a simultaneous orgasm) This postition may be painful so you should practice and talk to your boyfriend/husband. As you are on ur stomach this will allow your other oh to penetrate deeper. After your oh ejaculates your partners sperm will reach the begining of your fallopian tubes within 3-7 minutes.
Turn on your back, lift your legs up a little higher using a pillow and stay like this for a minimum of 10 mins.
Dont have a shower or bath for an hour.

You should let your partner drink 3 glasses (8 ounce) of fresh orange juice a day from cd 7 to cd 17
this will boost his sperm count and motility by 40%


**thanks to Staceiz19 for this advice!
