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

[LittleOnes]

We (....I) charted (BBT, CM, CP), used opk, BD every other day (and actually only every other day during fertile period as we were tired by then!). I think that's basically it. Both times that we BD within four days before Ov I had EWCM and I'm sure that was part of our success. Timing is helpful though the two months before this we had good timing and didn't happen. Basically we BD 3 days before and day before Ov.

OH ALSO actually no idea of course if this had any effect, and not to necessarily encourage it lol, but we significantly cut down alcohol during our BFP cycle. The cycle before BFP we were on a 3 wk vacay in Europe and drank a bottle (...or two ) wine at each meal.

Good luck! Took my body about 8 months to regulate after the Pill, then 4 months of regular cycles of ovulating to conceive.

We used preseed, which is the best feeling lubricant I've experienced yet. I intended to follow the SMEP plan, but that didn't really happen we had sex a couple times before a +opk and then ended up having sex like the next 5 days in a row (we were on vacation ).

I was trying for over a year, we saw a doctor and he asked if I got up to clean myself right away, which my response to that was "yes". He told me to hold my hubby's.. hmm goods? in there for at least 30 mins to give them a chance to swim. I did that and literally must of conceived the first time I did that lol.

I charted my BBT and made sure we DTD the 4-5 days before ovulation (everyday in the morning). I had been taking prenatals for a few months prior, and I wasn't drinking (except on period days). I quit drinking coffee (except for an iced frappe every once in a while). We had been TTC off an on for about 10 months, but I didn't get serious and start charting until a month and a half before I got pregnant. I think it really must have helped, especially since my cycles were so messed up after I had (and lost) my first baby last year. I'll never know what finally made it happen; probably a combination of everything.

Oh - and I stayed horizontal (with rear end on a pillow) for a bit after DTD.

I used clearblue OPKs to determine when I ovulated, then started to have sex a couple of days before that date. I read when I was TTC that it's not good to "save up" the sperm for when you are ovulating because it can cause low mobility. I read, it's best to have fresh sperm, so have sex 4 days before you ovulate, then 2 days and 1 day before, then the day after. The month I did this, it worked like a charm!

Good luck!

PS. I determined I ovulate on day 11, not the average day 14 like most women, so it's important to know the day so you can time the sex accordingly.

Had fun with my OH every day and put a pillow under my hips with my legs in the air for half an hour lol worked like a charm! I was very lucky to get pregnant right away.

Good luck!! I hope you get your BFP soon!

I just noticed on your signature that you had an angel baby on July 15th. I am so sorry for your loss. I had my angel on July 16th, but last year. Congrats on your BFP. I know another baby doesn't replace the one we lost, but it sure helps.

All I did was have sex every day starting from three days before ovulation up until way past I knew I ovulated. Just wanted to make sure I had covered all of my bases so to speak. I had also took prenatal vitamins when TTC. I also had stayed in bed with my bottom elevated for about ten minutes afterwards. That and lots of patience. It took us about six months to get pregnant. You only have a 20% chance of conceiving even with perfect time and perfect conditions. I wouldn't worry, it'll happen when you least expect it I definitely wasn't expecting it to happen for me, I was quite shocked.

Thank you and I'm sorry for your loss as well, it definately doesn't help me forget but it does feel really good to be pregnant again!

We used preseed, which is the best feeling lubricant I've experienced yet. I intended to follow the SMEP plan, but that didn't really happen we had sex a couple times before a +opk and then ended up having sex like the next 5 days in a row (we were on vacation ).

I just ordered preseed! I think we may have the same wedding anniversary... 8/8/09???

 

[Impatientfor2]

It took us 4 cycles this time - 9 cycles with my son. This time I was doing BBT and this cycle I used OPKs and preseed and just got our bfp! We dtd every day around the fertile time. I didn't get up afterwards to make sure nothing ran out.

Not to threadjack, buuuuutttt -- this is mine and DH's anniversary/exact wedding date too!!!!

 

[babyfromgod]

I got preg the first month we tried. We had sex every day and used OPK's. I lay down after sex. I didn't have much CM so didn't think i would conceive very fast. Glad i used OPK's though or would have missed O

 

[midget em]

Hi, we were trying for 12 months and on our final month I'd got so fed up I did everything I'd heard anyone talking about.
Some a bit out there and crazy but something worked for us.
I've got a really long list of all the things we tried in the LTTTC success stories section if you want to look in there.
The title is 'Long list of everything we tried this month' (or something like that!).

Good luck, don't lose hope it will happen. I know its a drag but it is still early days.

 

[Rhiaberry]

I used concieve plus each and everything we babydanced, lifted my bum in the air for 30mins after, we dtd everyother day until i got a positive opk, we dtd then 3days in a row, missed a day, and the again then just waited... got my BFP at 8dpo and its my first month back trying to concieve since my angel baby x

 

[tessiekins]

I didn't move straight away after he 'had fun' in me. Lol.. thought I'd also give you ladies a giggle, we put on swedish accents leading into it because we're a)daft as a brush and b)made us laugh so much. We also slept together on the kitchen table. Hey.. stranger things have happened eh?! Lol happy humping!

 

[katie165]

We got pregnant on the second month of trying by using preseed and following smep. Having used clearblue digital opks and temping, we realised I ovulated much later than expected, so don't just use the predicted dates! Also kept my legs in the air for around 30 mins after which I guess did the trick! I would definately recommend the opks with the smiley face and also preseed! It felt amazing and is supposed to help the swimmers get there and live longer! Good luck!

 

[babyoneill]

we were told my partner had low sperm morphology so we had him take male fertility multi vitamins and loose underwear lol also i would stay in bed after BD with my pelvis tilted..also i sed clear blue opk and chart and temping xxx good luck xx

 

[stickylizard]
