Fess Up Ladies, What is your secret?

[shellbell3]

I got to know my cycle really well, knew when ovualtion was going to occur and told Df what days we would be DTD (yeah really romantic, lol).
Ovulator predictor kits can also be good if you have an irregular cycle or just want some extra help to know the right time.

[Jakabella]

I used OPK's so I knew when I was ovulating, also I can not recomend Pre-seed enough!! Its awesome stuff.

DH "going" first and then me... theory being dipping the cervix into the pool of sperm and sucking them up to where they need to be LOL. It seemed to work the first two times.. but doesn't seem to be working trying for #3! (yet!)

That's exactly what I did too! I often O-ed hours later (manually - ) which I think really helped! Sorry if TMI!

I also dropped 18 kgs in the 12 months prior to conception - which certainly helped me. When I got pregnant I was at about 92 kgs (quite good for me!) and feeling very healthy and active.

So the consensus seems to be relax, have a couple of drinks and then O. No wonder one night stands can result in pregnancy, lol.

[~Phoenix~]

hmmm relaxing and alcohol seem to make a few mentions lol

I got preggers on a road trip holiday where we just kicked back, drank heaps and generally just had a good time

ROFL at that.

I went to the dentist. She said, you should get your wisdom teeth ripped out. So I booked in for that. We didn't stop trying and it was at the back of my mind but it wasn't as urgent that month. We also relaxed, had a few drinks to celebrate our anniversary and DTD as we had been doing probably every 2nd day. I was pretty sure I had o'd the day before but didn't really think much of it after 8 months of BFN's. I did a test just before having my teeth ripped out (the day AF was due based on when I thought I'd O'd) and got a false negative. Two weeks later I started feeling sick, my AF still hadn't arrived. So I did another test (a faulty one) then another and finally gst a BFP. Turns out poor bub got a dose of general anaesthetic (he's fine!). I'm thinking DH should get his teeth ripped out when we start trying for #2 in Feb.

LOL! Sounds like a plan to me, especially as it seems that I am due to o next either just before or right on new years eve! lol

Put DH on Menevit!!! 3 months later BFP

AND gave up diet coke - I felt soooo much better - no idea if this helped or not tho

[Erin_25]

We stopped trying so hard, the more we thought about it the more frustrated I got & nothing happened.

Each time we "gave up"as such we got a BFP! seems relaxed is a good way to go..for us anyway.

This is what actually annoys me about others freely commenting on your due date, I'm due 01/01/2010 & keep getting the "oh, what bad timimg" ahhhh yeah, we tried & tried for x amount of time, got more & more upset as it didn't happen. Then were over the moon when we relaxed & let it happen....but yeah could have timed it better grrrrr.

[nattyfred]

We had been trying for 6 months and using a maybe baby but when we gave up, booked a hotel in the city, got drunk as on jagerbombs and danced all night (obviously not just in the club haha) it seemed to do the trick lol. I used to get cranky when ppl used to tell me to just relax though lol

[CharlieBrownGirl]

Love it Ladies, keep it coming! Your advice is making my positivity increase... few hours ago all I could think about was how the universe was against me having a baby.

Erin, back in high school I was in the youngest bracket and Mum wouldn't let me do something cause I was x age and the other girls were older... I would always say, why couldn't you have me in August??? Only now do I realise it doesn't happen like that.

Nattyfred, sounds like a great night. I haven't had a drink for 6 months, frozen margarita ****tails are looking good this weekend

[KitFaerie]

I didn't know my cycle, so we just DTD every 2 days til we got the BFP, lol. We were both taking preconception tablets and were trying to eat healthy. Iron and Zinc is good for guys, so DH unhappily ate lots of green vegetables, and happily ate lots of bacon. My mother sent me an article about avocado being good for preconception, so I ate salads with avocado too. I remember reading somewhere that soy was bad, so neither of us had any soy. We still drank, couple of glasses of wine each week and DH a few beers on the weekend, as we decided it was better that we were happy and relaxed. We got the BFP second cycle after coming off the pill, and first cycle of actually trying.
