My TTC strategy (science experiment)!

[Phexia]

I'm on CD 1 today (yay .. had a 56 day cycle)

I've been plotting my first real cycle of TTC and here it goes:

1. Every day since january 23rd I've been drinking fertility tea (Lady's mantle, Red Clover, Stinging nettle and Vitex agnus castus), that will continue until I get pregnant. I'm hoping the Vitex will shorten my cycle.

2. From day 1 (today) and until O, I'm taking Evening primrose oil capsules so I get more fertile CM.

3. I keep track of O with OPK's and the CBFM. (plus tracking CM and all that)

4. While BD'ing on PEAK days I will be using Pre-seed (if it ever gets here, it's stuck in customs)

5. When AF goes away, I'm BD'ing every other day. If I get a PEAK reading or a positive OPK I'm BD'ing every day for at least 3 days.

5. After BD'ing I´ll be inserting my Keeper cup (https://www.keeper.com/) to keep the sperm in. I've read LOTS about TTC using these cups or "instead cups" that are disposable and this method seems to work wonders for many people.

6. After BD'ing I'm keeping a pillow under my bum for 30 minutes as is advised by many doctors (at least over here hehe).

7. TMI warning! I'm having an orgasm AFTER I do all this to help the sperm up the cervix.
