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.

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

we we fell pg with DD it was also....
because we were reallllllly drunk and i happened to O that night!!
we had been trying for almost 2 years for DD...so it was a suprise!
ATM we have just started using Menevit, i am taking elevit and some extra iron (as i am anaemic still). and also we just BD everyday in my fertile period. can't say it's working though...hopefully soon lol!

for us? when i got rather... amehm itchy poor DH didnt want to look at me hehe im sure it was the shock of going from next to nothing to 'back away slowly do not make eye contact and RUN!" hehe i think though while you can temp, work out your body to a tee, sometimes just relaxing and letting go of and expectation can help- for us it was a "what'll be will be" from aug-jan then "try with every thing" from april onward. early Oct - we got a BFP and it was fun making it too - even if i was a weee bit tipsy

We were completely sober, it was the middle of the afternoon on our day off together. It was really good (sorry if TMI) and because we usually do the withdrawl method this particular day i was about to O and if he had of pulled out it would have killed it so he said stuff it. We were both so relaxed and just had fun that we didnt even think about it.. 10 days later i got my BFP.

With me, I "went" first before DH, then we both "went" at the same time after that..
We also only DTD on the day of O on Fertility Friend (for around 5 days prior that is).
I also put my legs AND bum against the wall for about 10 minutes afterwards so all the good stuff didnt seep out
We also weren't "trying" as such, more just, we'll see what happens, and not take any precautions. so we were both really relaxed and not stressed about TTC.
DH also had stopped drinking diet drinks for awhile beforehand for maybe a few days to a week? not sure exactly how long, but no more than a week i think.
oh and we also DTD around midnight lol!

hmm well we fell pregnant from dtd a lot lol. we had nothing else to do living in a caravan and it was so hot you didnt want to go outside.
Just relaxing and lots of laughter, bugging each other, just enjoying time with each other and not worrying about using condoms.
I got pregnant the first time but lost that baby but the 2nd time we planned it took about 1-2 months to get pregnant, had to take asprin for a bit as i had, had a miscarriage before.
The 2nd pregnancy i was breastfeeding and went off the pill and got pregnant.
Hubby says all he has to do is blow his load in my direction and i get pregnant, a joke between us lol.

Hubby and I did a 2 week detox with bentonite clay and psyllium (google perfect 7 capsules) to reduce our levels of heavy metals, pesticides etc, at least a month before conception. We were also both taking the In-Liven probiotic & superfood supplement by MiEssence. We also tried as best as we could to avoid alcohol, coffee and any other drugs/medications that may adversely affect the health of sperm & egg.

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.

I also used POAS ovulation tests to get to know my cycle well but it wasn't working - almost a year. It was good to know I had a regular cycle and to pinpoint exactly when I was ovulating as it was at a different time than expected.
The thing that worked for me in the end was a round of treatments from a Chinese Doctor. A few sessions of acupuncture and a committment to taking herbs daily left me feeling physically awesome and falling pg first cycle!
Registered User
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
Registered User
The only other idea i can suggest is to DTD outside of the timeframe you think you are meant to be ovulating. A few of my conceptions were waaaaay outside the supposed 'fertile window'... one was on day 22 of my cycle! also try doing it earlier... remember that sperm can live for up to a week.
