Would anyone like to share what they did to get pregnant?

[hrryup]

First off, congratulations to all you ladies and I wish you happy and healthy pregnancies.

We have been TTC for 3 months. I know it's technically not very long, but it seems like a damn eternity... I was wondering if anyone would like to share some tips and things you did differently the cycle you got your BFP.

My husband are so ready for baby, but we want to surprise our friends and family. Thus, I can't really ask any of them. Your input would greatly appreciate!

I used preseed. But my bum in the air for 30mins an hour afterwards. We dtd everyday during my fertile window. I used clearblue OPKs. Dtd day of smiley and day after! I didn't worry about getting pregnant when we were having sex! I thought I'll do everything I can and just enjoy it and not worry! Can't think of anything else. Have u tried smep? That has a good success rate as well! What have u been doing? Temping? Or anything imparticular?

Oh and good luck!!!!

I used cb digi ovulation tests and we bded the day I got a smiley and the day after. I got my BFP the first month I used OPKs. After we bded I would hold my legs in the air for at least 5 mins. Good luck!

I stopped taking BC in May, so I thought that maybe it's just taking some time to get out of my system. I have been taking Fertilaid to regulate my symptoms for the past month. I tried OPKs but I was testing in the AM and then I read you should test in the afternoon. I think I will do that this time. I did hear about SMEP and printed some stuff for my husband. He thinks we need to BD everyday...He's obviously loving every minute of this baby making era. I haven't been temping but I could probably give it a try. I think our timing has just been off...

Thank you for your reply too!

we had sex, that is all.

I got pregnant after the first month of ttc, but we had sex almost every day. Pay very close attention to your cm and if it is at all stretchy, go to the bedroom lol. I used a pillow under my hips during and after for about a half an hour. I also believe it helps (sorry if tmi) a ton if you have an O during (or after lol). They say the contractions help the little ones upstream Best of luck! Also- start taking prenatals if you haven't already.

Timing is everything. 'taking charge of your fertility' is an amazing book! Helped me to understand my body loads. Worth a reAd. I'd defo recommend preseed if u don't have alot of CM. Remember uve got a great chance I'll catch the egg in the next three months. Just keep trying different things and make sure u work out when u O! I'm sure Youll be in first tri sooner than u think!

Oh and I didn't temp but it's defo a good idea coz u can understand exactly what's going on each month and u can check ur defo ovulating.

Good luck again!!!! Xxxxx

I decided I was done trying. I was finally happy and content with the children and life I have. I was ready to send hubby for a vasectomy just so I could stop thinking about babies. Before we were able to accomplish that, hubby decided one night (without checking to see what time of the month it was) that he didn't want to "pull out". So here we are.

 

[dfavbaby]

I used ovulation tests, temping, and fertilaid.. good luck hun. O and I used fertility friend to help also I loved that site!

 

[hrryup]

Thanks for all the great advice. Keep it comin'! I am going to use preseed as I think my CM is not all that great. I read that BC can really dry you out... :/ I also read the grapefruit juice increases your CM. Time to go to the store!

 

[mom22boys]

Here goes:
OPK's
Temping
softcups with preseed
preseed
checking CM
Omega 3-6-9-
prenantal vitamins

Good Luck!

Hey, dont worry!! We started trying in june. I made sure I knew my ovulation days by doing the calender online then on those days had as much sex as poss!! After intercourse I tayed laying down for atleast 10 mins b4 nipping to the loo. I didnt change my eating or drinking habits. Make sure ur taking folic acid too. Other than that just stay fit & healthy, exercise 3 times a week but dont go mad!I found out just over a wk ago that I was pregnant & Im sure this'll b the case for u very soon!! Hav fun trying & good luck!!! It will happen. xx

It's only been 3 months... just relax, have sex and enjoy it! the only recommendation I can give is lots of sex, I ovulated really really really late (like, when I was supposed to get my period) and had I followed traditional fertility windows, I wouldn't have had my bfp

 

[PoodleMommy]

After years of infertility, these things have helped us get a BFP the first month we try:

- green tea (two cups a day at least... for lots of fertile CM)
- consuming eggs from pasture-raised hens, raw milk from grass-fed cows, eating organ meats at least once a week, and lots of organic leafy greens
- exercising 5 days/week (weight should ideally be in normal BMI range... obesity = infertile = heartbreak)
- BD'ing any time there is EWCM!

I don't even temp or use ovulation tests anymore... if there is EWCM, it's time to BD! That does the trick every time.

My partner used to stay inside me for a few minutes after. That felt so awkward to say LOL.

 

[nicole25]

we tried the opks and the pillow under the hips and temping and all that jazz for months and nothing happened, then the last few times we had sex before we got our bfp, we tried one last go for gold effort, what we did was, when he began to "o" he pushed into me as hard and far as he could and while doing that i made sure to do kegals to suck the spermies into my cervix. then i didn't stand up for at least 30 minutes. and about 4 weeks later, no af, sore boobs, took a test and bfp!

When I lost my daughter a few years ago, the doctors put me on fairly high doses of antidepressants which make me SO never in the mood. When I got pregnant, it was the first time in forever that we had sex more than once in a month. When my daughter was conceived, it was the first time we ever, as a couple, had sex without a condom. I tell my husband he has Super Sperm lol.
