So..DH and I had the "TTC talk" ...

[Gohan3117]

AND WE'RE BACK IN THE GAME! DH and I talked for a long time tonight, and we both decided we are in a good place financially and emotionally to try again. After two MC's during NTNP, we had a hard time for awhile, but now we think its time for us to really go for it!

So, I am CD28(I think) and this next cycle will be TTC #1 Cycle #1! I'm so excited! I've got a list of things I want to ask you ladies about. I know I need to get some things for TTC, so I want to ask your opinions on brands, where to buy, etc.

Basal Body Thermometer - Which brand is best/most accurate?

Male Fertility Aids - What do you all think is the best Fertility Aid for a man?

Pre-seed - Is it necessary? I have no problems with lubrication, so is Pre-seed absolutely necessary?

Herbs/oils/vitamins for me - What do you ladies suggest I use to support my fertility health? I take a Pre-natal everyday, plus folic acid, but what do you ladies think I need to add for the best chance?

OPKs - I always bought them on Amazon, and they always worked fine for me. Is that alright? Or do I need to actually buy CB OPKs?

Sex tips/tricks - Do you ladies have any advice on best positions, times of day/night, how many times to BD during fertile window, etc?


Sorry for all the questions, but I'd like to know, since it's our first "OFFICAL" TTC cycle next cycle!

Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice!

Glad to hear you're trying again!it's a great experience.
I can't answer most of your questions cause I don't chart or temp.
But I just wanna throw in there that having fun and having sex just for the passion,not just for the baby making, is the most important thing!
Me and Dh are active regularly, we dtd about every other day. And we weren't trying specifically to get preggo.
And I'm thinking I'm pregnant and will be testing tonight and tomorrow!
Best of luck Gohan, have a fun, happy time!

Just saw my Doc. He put me on Progesterone pills to help me ovulate. It feels so real now! I'm so excited to start trying!

Congratulations!!!!
(Can't help you with any questions but...)

Isn't it soooo exciting. We've been NTNP for a while, OH has been on the fence. But now he's for definitely saying he wants a family, it's like so surreal.
We're still gonna 'NTNP' e.g. no temping, but I might buy opks if it doesn't happen within a time frame.
