What do you *think* gave you your BFP?

[xjesx]

Nothing. We never set out "to try". We promised each other that if it happened it happened.

So basically...we just had sex.

No worrying...no tracking...no charting.

We did our very best to take the stress away, at least the stress we could control.

My husband took Fertilman and we used Preseed x

I seem to only get pregnant at a certain weight which has coincided with spring with me either losing weight for summer holiday or wedding season lol!

 

[hshucksmith]

Relaxation!

 

[willowblossom]

All the best!! xxx

 

[kirbyland1986]

we werent thinking about it. on both occassion dont know how i think it happened... but with this one again we didnt think about. but husband went away for a week so we had sex before he went and i think it was that one but we did nothing different just right time i guess

 

[katerdid]

Nope, just good ol' fashioned sperm

 

[Hope115]

First three months said just going with the flow....no bfp, next five month trying with opk and temping... No bfp.... So after eight moths of ttc i tried it all... Heres the list...
-hips up 30 min after
-grapfruit juice not from concentrate from cycle day 1 till ov
-5 days eating pinapple And core the first 5 days after ov
-2000 mg of evening primrose oil from cd 1 till ov
-supplement with vit B6,B12, 1000mg vit C, zinc and selenium

Finally got my bfp with first month of doig all of this... But i think it was truely the evening primrose oil that did it... I had tons of ewcm for four days!!!

When me and my husband decided I should come off my pill we said to each other that we're not ttc, but if it happens then that's fine. I had 1 period after I came off the pill and I started taking folic acid that month, not because I was trying, but I thought it would be good to have just in case I got pregnant. I thought no more about it, just had sex as normal, which for some reason after coming off the pill was much much better! I never had another period! Lol.
I think the key is not to put too much pressure on yourself. The body is a very sensitive thing, and if your stress yourself out I think it must become harder to conceive. Xx

Clear blue digital opk and used conceive plus the days I got my smilies.

 

[BlueJayBabe]

My boyfriend and I both ate clean the entire month we conceived although ive always eaten very healthy. No sugar, wheat, processed foods or alcohol all month. We ate so many fruits and veggies and lean meats. I never felt better actually.

We were intimate every day during my entire fertile period, like 9 days in a row! The boyfriend sure was happy about that! Haha! Also I'm not sure if this helped but after we we had sex I'd out a pillow under my bum and stayed lying down for as long as possible.

Good luck!

After 12 years TTC, 7 failed Clomid cycles, 1 failed IVF cycle........ literally waiting for AF to come to start a medicated FET.

That cycle, we decided to really go for it! I drank lemon and ginger tea, and used heat pads on my abdomen and feet to keep my uterus 'warm'.
I was taking pregnacare, Vitamin B12 ( only because I'd felt so run down after IVF 5 months previously) Alternated between Pre~Seed and Conceive+, and strangely, using OPKs for the first time since IVF, I had 5 days of positive OPKs (!!??)

I really wasn't expecting it to work though and was all set for AF to arrive to book my next FET, I just decided I needed to POAS, and there was my bfp!

Me and my fiance' have been TTC 3+ years. In April I went on a cruise with sister to watch niece and also went again with mom and grandmom, both times without him. I guess I need to get away more because we conceived early in May and happy to say 4 different brands of tests all dark positives!

 

[candyem]

Being relaxed and dtd when we felt like it rather than because we were ttc. Worked first month and although very much planned a bit of a shock that it happened so soon.

 

[younglove]

This is what we did:
-DH and I gave up alcohol
-I only had 1 coffee per day
-Ate very healthy - lots of protein, fruit and veggies
-DTD every other day during the month but every day during my fertile window (missionary)
-Lifted my legs after we dtd for 30+ mins

 

[Cyan]

We'd officially been 'seeing what happened' for 5 months, but I was getting a bit obsessed. No charting or temping but I was tracking my cycle as best I could and staying legs in the air after doing the deed during the crucial times.

Then I just got fed up with obsessing, stopped trying or checking and it happened! I'd watched a programme about couples going through fertility treatments and the doctor in it recommended stood up, caveman style sex is best for conceiving (based on the theory that as we evolved we were under threat of predators and had no comfy bed to lie down and take our time on). Funnily enough when I counted back and tried to pinpoint which time it was, it was an occasion when we'd been been quick and fast! Who knows if this really is what worked but it was a funny coincidence.

 

[katiefx]

It was our first month of trying and only 4 months since having our son, id been taking the pill but missed it for days at a time. Then at the end of march we decided to try for our next baby so i stopped the pill altogether. We conceived in April we dtd absolutely loads probably everyday, just because we wanted to not because we were trying. We thought it would take months. But i guess what really helped is i had a baby not long ago and had lots of fun dtd. I dont think it helps to be stressed and dtd feeling like a chore!

 

[Missnurse]

After being on the injection contraceptive I honestly thought it was never going to happen! We tried for a year and I was obsessing over it, then the month I fell pregnant there must have been other stuff going on cause I never gave it a thought and that's when I got my BFP, no idea I was pregnant as didn't think it was going to happen at the point in time and only found out when at the hospital for something different! Definitely just don't think about it!

 

[bluecathy1978]

This pregnancy wasn't planned and I even know when I conceived as we don't often get much chance for dtd with 5 children already!! I swear I am getting more fertile as I get older and fatter. Shouldn't it be the other way around~??!!!!!!

How we got pregnant, on our first cycle TTC and off The Pill. I'm 31, he's 33, and this is our first child:

-Made love at least every 2nd day. The more often the man releases, the less old sperm are left in him poisoning the new sperm. According to this one documentary we watched, The Great Sperm Race, this is very important. And certainly cheaper and less stressful than OPKs!
-I laid with a pillow under my hips for 20-30 minutes after each time.
-I took Vitex, because I had a history of irregular cycles before going on the Pill. Not sure how much this helped though, as they measured my baby as about 1 1/2 weeks smaller than the calendar indicated, and I didn't get my BFP until 2 weeks after the calendar said I was supposed to miss my period.
-I've been taking folic acid and prenatals for the last few months.

And that's all!
