OTT month on TTC

[Mynxie]

OK, so DH and I were talking last night and we're gonna try again this "month" (I need to make a new sig I know, lol) but I've decided that I'm gonna try some of these wacky theories out... like the carrots every day (or carrot juice), cough medicine (gonna do that from day 14 r summit, given my dodgy cycles), BDing every 1-2 days, legs up in the air and mooncup in for 20 mins after BDing, pillow under my hips, OPKs (which reminds me I only have about 15 and will need some more coz I'll have to test every day from like CD 10 r summit), not eating peas, DH eating nuts, both eating oranges (or drinking OJ) and trying to eat more complex carbs and drinking a cup of tea every day....

are there any theories that I haven't thought of that aren't completely nuts and are easy to do? - I'm not gonna stop drinking though I barely drink as it is!

Hi Mynxie, please don't try the cough medicine one that was in the thread on the ttc page unlees you are 100 percent that it is safe. I read some disturbing stuff about it harming the baby. Look I mean it may a load of nonsensebut though that I would bring it to your attention.

 

[Mynxie]

DH said the same and figures that it's the eucalyptus that helps the CM, so cough drop sweets would help, which should be fine, thank you though huni

good luck hun xx

Ahhh Mynxie your post made me laugh. Good luck hun, I hope that it works for you

 

[Sinead]

Good luck with all your plans, just watch those carrots as they can turn your skin orange if you eat to many!!!!!

I think you are doing enough for now! But if you want more suggestions there is always grapefruit juice (for ewcm), green tea (ditto), and of course preseed! Good luck chick! xxx

 

[Mynxie]

thanks ladies. I'm guessing it's worth a shot - and hey if I don't get pregnant at least I'll be getting laid alot Carrot juice tastes vile - worse than spunk! Thinking of mixing it with OJ and hopefully it'll taste a bit betterer lol

 

[chefamy1122]

good luck!

Carrot juice tastes worse thank spunk you're so funny Mynixe

What about DH's spermies??? Is he taking any suppliments to help to boys be as strong as they can be? Something for him couldn't hurt!

I heard that brazil nuts are good for the uterus and implantation - dunno how true it is but you may as well add it into the mix

Lots of protein is also supposed to be good for embies sticking.

I remember one month we tried at home AI - it sure gave us a giggle for the month LOL Just get some non latex suringes, get DH to pull out right before, suringe the little boys up and shoot them in you!!! Then take suringe out, drawback some air and go at it again

I hope this is the month for you!

 

[Mynxie]

yeh, DH is gonna eat nuts n drink OJ - and he takes zinc

I have a bit of a dilemma though, I'm kinda contemplating having a nerve block (alot of stuff injected into my spine, that may help me cope with the RSD...or may make it worse...)and I can't be preggers for it... so thinking if I go for the nerve block, I'll have to stop TTC til afterwards, so this may be my last cycle for a while...but I'm not sure yet

 

[FJL]

That must be a really hard decision to make Mynx

Do you have an indications of how much worse the nerve block could make the RSD? Do you have a % chance of success V failure? I wish you lots of luck in deciding but hoping this cycle is it and you won't have to make the decision at all!

 

[Mynxie]

I know the risks but not the stats. (tbh with this, stats are IMO mostly made up) The last 2 I had, were for my leg (this time it would be for my arm) and I felt crap for 3 days, and got about 10 days lower pain. The lower pain can last upto 6 month. Worst case scenario I could lose more/all use of my arm and/or have internal bleeding etc those kinds of stuff.
