This is a great thread!
Gosh... with DS1 there was NO way it was planned i was on Depo Provera Injections so me and XDP were obviously not using protection! i didnt find out i was UTD untill we went camping with XDPs family and my symtoms started kicking in, because i was on depo i thought there was NO way i was pregnant. 3 days after getting back to reality the symptoms were still there so brought a HPT and got a BFP! went to the dr to confirm and i was already 10weeks!
#2. It was mine and XDP's anniversary MIL and FIL had DS so we stayed home that night had dinner, drank and DTD. XDP was to drunk and "forgot" we werent using protection and well we had an accident! about 5 weeks later found out i was UTD.
:bump: :)
My name is Yules.....and I got pregnant while drunk :) (with Max that is - SURPRISE!)
I had also lost weight prior to getting UTD wit him.....With Darcie (you might remember) I was using OPK and the last one in the pack (which are really expensive here) stuffed up, so in the end I didn't actually know when I was o'ing. It was our anniversary, so again a few wines, a bit of a play on Guitar Hero till the wee hours of the morning...more play ;) and welcome Darcie!

Digital OPKs and Preseed! DTD twice only the month we conceived DD. We were pretty relaxed too which meant living our life as normal - wines included ;)
it took us 7 months this time around, but after buying preseed and also maybe baby, it happened only the second month of using these things! we only dtd about 2-3 times around O'ing and i really thought it wouldnt be enough, but preseed does help alot, specially since others can be not the best for using when ttc, and maybe baby picked up start of ferning about day 11 or 12 so just dtd only a 2-3 times throughout that week.
Hi CBG. We didn't have tooo much trouble getting a BFP as such (4 in 2009) but we had a problem keeping them :( knowing your cycle is important i think, OPK's & temping were great for timing because lets face it, when you've been ttc for 16 months + (like we were) DTD every 2nd or 3rd day just gets exhausting! For us acupuncture and Chinese herbs is what made this buba stick and sort out my body to carry the baby. If there is something else going on as to why you're not getting a BFP I'd check out that option. Goodluck hon.
Hey!
My story kinda combines a few of everyone elses! lol I didnt get drunk though, as I dont really drink much...boring me I know!
It was my first month of temping, we decided to try DTD every 2nd day since AF left until I got a +ive OPK. I got the +ive OPK on my 25th Birthday so then we DTD for the next 2 days and it worked out we DTD 3 days in a row. I'll admit I'm fairly certain I O'd the evening after my +ive OPK if the pains were anything to go by so I made DH wake up at 4.45am before we both left for work at 5.30am and have a morning BD session! lol that was a mission while ur still half asleep.
It was our second month of using pre-seed too. We used it each BD session, simply because it was alot of fun :redface:
It was also our second month of me taking elevit (I had just been taking a folate acid prior) and DH taking menevit.
I dont actually know what factor it was that finally made the BFP happen for us, maybe it was the combo of everything together? But next time i'm gonna follow the exact same path :)
We put a bit more effort in this time around as well. DH was taking Menevit & I was taking blackmores conceive well. I started temping and using OPKs which basically confirmed that my O symptoms didn't necessarily correspond to when I actually o'd. We DTD roughly every 2nd day in the leadup to my +ve OPK. I'm pretty sure I o'd that day. I was also taking metformin for my PCOS which helped to regulate my cycles. I was also watching my diet and drinking less as in trying to limit it to one drink a night and only on weekends.
First time around, I was only taking metformin & folate. I had given up as the dr said it was impossible for me to conceive naturally so we had a fair bit of wine, and a nice home-cooked meal and just enjoyed each other for our anniversary.
With dd1 and this time around we were lucky, but dh puts it down to fish, I ate some to try and improve my diet and ended up with bfp's.
Dd2 was a longer journey for us, I was put onto the mini pill after dd1 which made my cycle go all over the place and my weight went up 10 kilos.
I had to get the weight off after throwing out the pill. I went on vitex to help regulate my cycle back to 28 days and then I charted. It took about 9 months of trying after my cycle was back to normal.
Celery is meant to increase a man's amount of semenal fluid if ingested 6 hours before hand. Also, if you have a titled uterus doggy style is meant to make it easier for more sperm to reach the cervix without getting killed by vaginal wall acid.
Legs up in the air afterwards.... :rofl: We thought it was a joke, tried it and BFP!!
We fell pg the month that I thought we wouldn't - DH had been out field for 2 weeks, and I was sure he'd missed my O time. So we really relaxed...gave each other a massage, then just enjoyed ourselves. Afterwards, I put a pillow under my bum and lay with my legs in the air (out of habit from TTC more than anything), and 2 weeks later we got our BFP.
Also, DH had been taking zinc supplements, which build up the amount of semen - even he noticed the difference in the quantity! :) Sorry if TMI.
Good luck to all the TTCers...we'll be joining on that journey soon enough! :)
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 :rofl:
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!
With DS we pulled out all the stops! I was temping and charting my cycle, some months we used preseed, I was seeing a fertility acupuncturist, butt in the air after DTD, DTD at least once a day throughout my entire fertile period, both of us taking pre-conception vitamins... Probably the only thing we didn't do was drink alcohol, lol. Even still it took us 9 months and a precious angel before we conceived our gorgeous little man.
Things with our little Apple Blossom have been a bit different because she's an IVF with PGD baby. Although it only took us 2 cycles (3 months) to fall pregnant with her, we had a total of 16 chromosomally abnormal embryos that sadly were never destined to survive, before we created our single precious healthy baby girl embryo.
Oh, and I wanted to mention that I'm glad that we didn't tell people that we were TTC'ing either time because I just know that I would have snapped if someone told me to "just relax" LOL!
OK, so I didn't get pg twice the 'old fashioned way', I've had two cycles of IVF both resulting in BFP. My secret?? I relaxed as much as I could, but in all honesty I didn't expect too much from the treatment as I always assumed it would take us a few goes. So, relaxed I was, with no expectations, and both times the little embie decided to stick.
PS If I could get pg naturally, I would have picked Tequila and wild sex!!!! lol
GL hun, hope your TTC journey is a very short one!!!
Beata xxx
Well I'm another one who was drunk! lol The first time anyway. We didn't think we could fall naturally after DH's 2 years of chemo (it finished just 3 months before we fell) so went unprotected and bam UTD!!! :)
This time we had tried for a month or two, I know my cycle fairly well and thought we had missed it this time tho and had a pretty full on afternoon session, the only time we DTD in the month and again bam. So I think being relaxed about it and not thinking helps :) as does having a few drinks!!!!
