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

[jules7521]

Well.. life has a way of making funny things happen. I have a 16 year old daughter I gave up for adoption at birth to a wonderful family and had decided that was it for me. Fast forward a few years and my ex hubby and i tried for 2 years and I had 2 miscarriages back to back in 2005. I at that point decided it wasn't in my cards.

Fast forward to Labor Day weekend after some prodding from my OH was told to go buy a test. I laughed at him.. I stopped laughing 10 mins later when I got my lol As for when we " tried" we really didn't lol But for me a true blessing at almost 37 and my OH at 44

My husband and I were not actively trying to get pregnant, so I don't think my story will help. We had sex once during my last cycle, and I bled like crazy afterwards, so I did not think it was very likely that I would get pregnant. But apparently, as they say, it only takes once!

we did hardcore ttc for many many months, we were going through the testing, everything came back good, and had an hsg done in may, and we conceived that same month On the 19th cycle, we just forgot about ttc as we were fixing to start clomid and I had fun. Went out and had drinks, had unplanned sex and bam!
Good luck, I hope ttc is a very short journey for you

It worked for us in the 4th month of trying. I did SMEP for the first 2 months, but it was really too much pressure for us and took any spontaneity out of it. The last 2 months we just went with the flow. All 4 months I tempted and for 3 months, I used the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. I always made sure to dtd on the peak days.

I had sex once around ovulation - that was it!! We were very lucky. I haven't always been so fortunate and it look us 4 years to conceive our first so to get pregnant twice in as many months (miscarried the first ) was, as you can imagine, a bit of a shock!
Wishing you all the best x

took prenatals, Bum on a pillow after as well as the big O after. first time round did it all the time, and did OPK second time round only did it a coupe of times, just on the right days.. Best to try to dtd around the time you think you might Ovulate and then a few days after! Good luck

We've tried 3 years - nothing. Tilting the bum, drinking prenatal vitamins/folic acid/starflower and primrose ev.oils, nothing. I have POCS and my man's got low motility. We did a month of detoxication/healthy living/quit alcohol for good. We fell pregnant after a month of actual healthy living

Sex whilst using contraception worked for us lol!

 

[beckiieboo]

hey mine was 3 months also, felt like forever. however that month we really relaxed and didn't really chart or temp, i only did opts and lots of sex but tried to forget about it and did not symptom spot at all.. i took agnus casts us and vitamin b6 from the start of CD1 and i got my BFP that month agnus casts has goit great reviews to help your eggs and ovaries

good luck, i know its easy for people to say relax when really i wanted to obsess and was obsessing over it, but that month i gave my self a reason to relax and gave my self the excuse that i didn't want to be pregnant that month..
hey something worked lol!

Look at all the responses saying it was easy, only took a month or two or they weren't even TTC... If only it were that easy for all of us, right?

I was TTC about 10 months. My cycles were very irregular. I tried many different drugs, vitamins, & herbs to help me regulate & produce good EWCM. Nothing helped much though. The cycle that I got my BFP (I was still irregular - I ovulated on CD24 that month) I did a few things differently:
-I weaned my toddler during the TWW of the previous cycle.
-I didn't take any supplements at all, not even prenatal vitamins.
-The day after I got my +OPK, I cut open a fresh lemon and squeezed the juice into my water. Fresh lemon (not bottled/canned juice) is actually alkalizing. That night I seduced DH. As usual, I used preseed and lied with hips slightly elevated for a while.
-I gave up on using Instead Cups
-We had sex a lot less often than usual. I think how often is optimal depends on the couple.

Wasn't easy for us either , but i got back up on that horse month after month!

after 14 bfn's trying everything and anything such as softcups, preseed, geritol, mucinex ..list goes on......

15month- All we did was
-we DTD twice(1 morning, 1 night) the day before the Pos. OPK. I also made my DH hold his load for about 4days leading up to that..
And after he "finished" I got out some toys and made myself climax. I read online it helps pull sperm closer to cervix.

Finally got a bfp the day after my 1st infertility appt.
After reading the posts on here, all the woman got bfp's from doing diff. things. Some doing nothing, some doing a lot of things.
Gotta find the right combination for you and also put it in the higher powers hands and relax and have faith.
I wish it wasn't so hard for some of us. It seems like the ones who dont need a baby get one and the ones who truly deserve a baby sometimes have a more difficult time.

Thanks for all the great posts ladies. I am doing a couple of things differently this month thanks to your stories, and I am going to really try to "relax."

I will definitely keep you all posted when I get that BFP!!!
