Re: check in

Hmmm

2 yrs TTC
Been PG multiple times but had ectopics/m/c's

Tips: BD when you see EWCM and also two days after you get your positive OPK

Take pre-natals
Listen to your body
Read and research as much as you can
Use pre-seed(it can only help)
Chart/temp if first starting so you can see if there may be any hormonal issues

You should be getting your period every 25-35 days. If not, there is something off no matter what your Dr says!

Re: check in

TTC since Summer 2006.
7 cycles for first pregnancy which resulted in miscarriage in March 2007

Now in my 3rd cycle since m/c

Tips - if I had any real guaranteed tips I wouldn't be on this board anymore.

I was following Deanna's Plan but have noticed now that I can't trust the OPK - last couple of months I'm Oing several days after my surge.

I do eat baby carrots, take mucinex, drink pink grapefruit juice and temp every month to increase my odds.

Re: check in

TTC for 14 months
no pregnancy yet
started temping this month
using the OPKs
drinking lots of water

Also made an appointment to see a RE next month. I've come to terms with the fact that there is a problem.


to all

Re: check in

Well.. haven't been able to TTC yet because of anovulation and diagnosed with PCOS. Started on metformin two weeks ago and am hoping I ovulate this month, but we'll see. I actually have seen CM that is consistent with a regular cycle, so maybe my body is deciding to be normal this month. Good luck everyone!

Re: check in

Hello!!!
TTC "having fun" for 2 months
This is the first month TTC with OPK
Cut back on Caffine, eating smaller portions, trying not to use sweetner, and trying to drink green tea. Who knows if any one or combination of these things will work. I don't think I am PG this month, I just don't "feel" different so I will wait and then start Deanna's plan next month.
Good Luck to all who have been, are, and those planning to TTC

Re: check in

TTC 2 months ( I am currently in my 2 WW)

I have taken mucinex and I eat baby carrots
Have cut down on caffeine, sugar

Will prob get preseed for next month (hopefully I wont need it!!)

Re: check in

Only started TTC this month

I'm using the CBEFM (I haven't hit the Peak yet, I'm only CD 6)
Started taking prenatals
Quit smoking

Re: check in

I am on month 3 of TTC. First month was more casual, since then we are stepping it up. Started temping last month, which I highly recommend. For this month, I just ordered OPK's and preseed, since I feel that I never really get EWCM. I think I need to drink more fluids in general, maybe that's why I don't see EWCM? I also just bought green tea and a bunch of baby carrots. I'm going to try pink grapefruit juice, too. And we are planning on bd'ing every day during my fertile period. we pretty much did every other day last cycle, with no luck. good luck to all of us, especially you girls who have been trying for a while.

Re: check in

2nd month TTC...almost at th O point!! Waiting for the 2WW...again! Trying not to buy test so I won't take one everyday!!!

Love this board and all of you guys for your positive energy and for being so helpful!

Re: check in

"having fun" for 3 months but this is our 2nd month actively TTC. Only 3rd month off bcp.

I have cut back on the caffeine, drink TONS of water daily, excercise regularly...I am one that does the legs over their hips after BDing! Been taking prenatals for 6 months.

Thought I was PG last month but AF wanted to play games & came on CD 34! So here we are waiting to start the bding again!

Re: check in

July will be 3rd month TTC. We are going to try a few tricks including mucinex, preseed, and BD every day from CD 10 to CD 17 in July. I take prenatals every day and some extra B6 vitamins. I cut out caffeine and am drinking lots of water. If that doesn't work, I will probably try the CBEFM next. I also keep tabs on CM every day but do not temp.

Re: check in

TTC since Sept 2006, started using OPK's and analyzing CM in Jan 2007.

So far I have tried a bunch of little tricks, none of which have worked for me. Just started using the CBEFM last month and I love it. And definately join fertility friend and pay for the VIP membership. I love my buddy groups over there- it makes your cycle a lot easier to deal with when you are going through it with other women in your same situation.

Re: check in

First month TTC. I believe I will be o'ing in the next day or two. Third month temping , and third month off BCP. Bought preseed.

Quick question, what is CBEFM?

Re: check in

We are startnig our third month of TTC. The only thing we've used is preseed but I purchased ovulation strips for this month. No tips since we're still trying! But, like you, I'm hoping third time's a charm!!!

Re: check in

Onto 3rd month of trying. Using PreSeed this month. Green Tea, Vitex, Baby Carotts, will start Pineapple Juice tomorrow. Ovulation begins later inthe week Thankfully DH is off on Vacation when this is going down TO ALL
