Ttc tips

[MommaTTC2]

I read a lot about different I guess "strategy" like ways that has helped long time TTC! So I'm just seeing if anyone wants to list different things they did differently the month the finally conceived?

such as pre-seed , soft cup, certain days around ovulation, vitamins, digital monitors, O.P.K.'s, etc, etc....

Give some ladies something they might not have tried or even be aware about, we can all learn from each other!


to all

We tried for over 2 and a half years, used preeseed, charted, ovulation tests. DTD every night over the fertile week. Went to hospital and had tests, everything was fine. As we had our wedding booked for July, we stopped trying last year. We didn't use prevention as didn't See the point. We just had sex when we felt like it, for fun. Didn't do it on the ovulation day. Surprisingly got got pregnant and Gracie was born 1 week after our wedding! So my advice (& I know you can't, because when people told me, I couldn't), but just relax and enjoy your partner. We have talked about our years of stress and both agree that the 'trying' was what stopped us enjoying it and getting pregnant

I posted in a thread like this after becoming pregnant with my son, after 3 years of trying. I have a lot of spotting, short LP, fibroids and husband has poor sperm count, motility and morphology. We were told we had about 1-2% chance of conceiving naturally.

Things we did:

- I lost 10% of body weight by exercising and calorie control

- we used Preseed lubricant that cycle

- we had just been told we would be fast tracked for IVF+ICSI on the NHS because our case was so clearly in need of intervention so we relaxed that month and didn't even think we DTD around what I thought were my ovulation dates.

- hubby was taking Wellman Conception tablets to improve his sperm.

- I had been taking some Ayurvedic medication prescribed for me

That cycle we conceived our son and I had a beautiful pregnancy.

Now, we are trying again and I weary at the thought of doing all those things again but I really really want another baby. I'm not getting any younger so...
