Did you do/have anything to try and help you to concieve quicker?

yes - hsg ...forgot what it was called, but anyway I concieved that month /cycle I had it done too. If it takes a while to concieve number 3, I will be trying that option again.

We did the acupuncture. We took all the Chinese herbs, I still do and still have the acupuncture it was so good.

We were trying and trying and trying over the 8 months (we aren't kids anymore so for us this IS a long time). Ovulaintg not ovulating timing etc etc.

We set up for assisted conception, my partner had had her tubal patency test. susequently we were to start injections two days after collecting them, so instead of her perod, two stripes!!

So out 20 week little man survived a tubal patentcy test (the clean out listed above)

the biggest thing to learn then. Stop trying and just have sex. We were so caught up in the process and the outcome I'm sure it worked against us. the moment we relaxed and just did what came naturally it worked.

Hi
We also used preseed the month I fell pregnant with DD. I was also drinking green tea and pink grapefruit juice which I think (was a couple of years ago now so cant quite remember) was supposed to help with EWCM.

Like a number of other responses I used preseed only one time, and that was the month we got our

I also tried to OPK 3 months prior and found they were helpful as they told me when I was ovulating so we could DTD around this time. It was when I used them with the pre-seed that we got lucky!

We gave up and started planning our wedding and presto, the day after I ordered my dress I found out I was pregnant.

I was also taking herbs (and my naturopath had also said to stop TTC for a few months) to help boost my immune system as I was very run down, and I think this helped a great deal as well. Mind you in saying that my TTC journey was very very short compared to what some of the other ladies here have had to go through, so I don't know how valuable my advice is.
