I posted this in ttc but would prob. get a better responce here. We have been ttc for 3 yrs, Oh has LSC and I am fine with the exception of a vit d defiency. So I am always looking for new things to try and my oh and I are starting to feel like labrats lol. So for some fun and tip trading I thought maybe we could list what we are doing to increase our chances....

I am taking epo, vit d3, fish oil, green tea,

OH is taking zinc, centrum silver, fish oil, and i will be getting him alot more on payday

[wannabemummyb]

I take 500mg of metformin 3x per day
I take 5mg folic acid per day
I take multi vits
Checky cm
I gave up smoking prior to ttc
I rarely drink alcohol now, only when the witch has a hold
I drink 2-3 caffinated drinks a day, the rest of the time it's herbal teas or water.
I do half hour exercise a day and to date have lost a stone and a half
We bd leading up to and on the day of ov, every other day or every day depending on how we feel!

 

[Sizzles]

Conception/pre-natal multivitamins
Flaxseed oil during LP
OH takes a Wellman vit when he remembers! (less than half the time, but hey ho, I guess it all helps)
Daily grapefruit juice during the first 2 weeks of cycle
I eat jelly (jello to friends in the US!) during the week of ov
I drink Badoit 'neural ph' mineral water during the week of ov
Bathing with fertility friendly essential oils or products
We've used preseed once or twice for the last 3 cycles to no avail; I think I'm a little worried about giving over to it completely in case for some reason it has negative effects, but maybe I should give it a shot

I've been prescribed folic acid which I've been taking now every day for almost three months now - was taking it before but I'm more religious about it now.

We use Conceive+ as needed. Normally I don't have a problem in that department, but it's useful to have occasionally.

We've had 21 day bloods done and OH has had a SA, apparently both were fine but we won't get detailed results until Tuesday this week.

I'm temping and using OPKs, more so I know when I've Ov'd, we don't really time BD around that, but we loosely follow the SMEP programme up to Ov.

OH is taking the Wellman conception pills.

I've just started (this morning) taking Royal Jelly capsules as well. Figure it can't hurt.
