[MommaM1008]

Hi ladies! My DH and I are in cycle #2 TTC.. I am on cycle day 7 and have ordered OPK to start on cycle day 10.. I'm thinking we'll just try to BD every other day for the rest of the month...? What are you ladies trying to conceive? Any other tips, tricks, or suggestions?? I want to hear all of your feedback!! Fingers Xd for a month full of BFP!!! Baby Dust!

Hi MommaM! I'm also trying for #1 and this will be my third cycle. I actually had my BFP last cycle but sadly that ended in MC at 5+3 so I'm back to TTC. I'm thinking I will do basically the same as I did last cycle because clearly it all worked except I can't time things exactly this time because I'm not sure when I'll ovulate after the MC.

Here is what I did:
- almost no alcohol (I think I had one drink at two different parties just to not be a party pooper but of course those were only in the time before ovulating)
- almost no caffeine, just a tea sometimes if I was really wanting a pick me up
- DH also mostly cut out drinking and caffeine
- I used preseed on my very fertile days
- Pineapple core for 5 days as soon as O was confirmed
- I take an extra vitamin D pill on top of my usual prenatal vitamin
- Lots of vegetables, especially spinach
- Lots of whole wheat
- Eating more than usual (I gained about 5 pounds but I had heard that it's better for fertility if you eat lots. It tricks your body into thinking that it must be a safe time to make a baby because there is lots of food available)

Hopefully I can do it all again and get my sticky BFP!

Hello! I am also TTC #1. I stopped taking BCP August 8th and no sign of AF yet.. currently on CD 37. I tried tracking temps, but I work night shift so they are all over the place. I don't have any tips but I have just been taking a prenatal/DHA and trying to eat healthier in general. FX for lots of BFPs this month!

Amber, any chance af is late in arriving because of a happy result? Have you tested?

I tested on the 10th and BFN. Will test again in a week if AF doesn't show up before then. I'm thinking my hormones are trying to balance out since coming off the BCP- I was on it for 10 years straight! Just trying to be patient as I know it might take a while for my cycle to regulate.
