Ok... Questions... Please help!
Ok ladies...I have 3 unrelated (kind of) questions that I have 
1) I feel like I have looked everwhere for Red Raspberry Leaf Tea with no luck- Where have you ladies found it?
2) How does temping work?  I think Im going to start to try doing it...
and dumb question...
3) Does "position" matter while TTC? I wasnt sure if some "positions" were more beneficial than others to help those guys get up there. I thought I read that it may matter...
Ok so my mind is everywhere today! Thank you ladies for bearing with me!

Re: Ok... Questions... Please help!
1) I feel like I have looked everwhere for Red Raspberry Leaf Tea with no luck- Where have you ladies found it?
-Im not sure since I havent tried it but Ive read from other ladies here that they purchased it online. I think Amazon.com
2) How does temping work? Make sure you use a BBT thermometer only. Temp. when you wake up in the AM, at the same time everyday (even on your days off) and before you get out of bed. This means no peeing, brushing your teeth..nothing. once you wake up grab the thermometer and temp. I like to keep mine next to my side table for easy access. In order to confirm O you should get three consecutive high temps. In a nut shell your temps should be relatively low in your first cycle phase then increase once you O and stay elevated until AF shows (then your temp. goes back down) or it will stay elevated if you are pregnant.
and dumb question...
3) Does "position" matter while TTC? Im a strong believe in that those little guys will get there no matter what position you are in however, Ive read that missionary and doggy style are probably the best.
HTH and good luck!

Thank you!!! This really helps.
I heard about the Red Raspberry Leaf Tea on amazon.com... the problem is I would need it this week and I dont think I would get it in time for this cycle. I was hoping there was a store I could go to, but it seems really hard to find.
What is a BBT thermometer and where can I find that type? When I get 3 consecutive high days, is the last day "O" day?
Thanks for all the info again

You're welcome. You might be able to find the raspberry tea at Stop and Shop (I think I remember seeing someone here post that they purchased theirs there). A BBT is a Basal body temperature thermometer is used solely for women TTC. You can purchase one pretty much anywhere..walmart, target, riteaid, cvs etc. any drugstore will have it. Runs about $10 or so. Are you familiar with FertilityFriend? I use FF to chart my temps and it takes the guess work out of trying to figure out when you O. Usually the previous lowest temp before the three consecutive high temps is the day you O'd. Look at my chart
ETA: your temp should rise .4-1 degree and stay elevated for a couple more days in order for O to be confirmed.Image Attachment(s):

Re: Ok... Questions... Please help!
You can get red raspberry leaf tea at Vitamin Shoppe. They also have it in pill form which is much easier and I heard the tea doesn't taste the great.
I can thelp on temping b/c I failed at it. I know you need a basal body therm. which you can get at CVS or target and you have to do it every day at the same time . This is where they lost me. 
As for positions, they say missionary so nothing leaks out. I've also heard that everything gets where it needs to go either way.

Re: Ok... Questions... Please help!
Ok great thats so helpful! No I havent used Fertility Friend, Ill have to take a look at it. Maybe its best to start it next cycle if no luck this cycle to get a fresh start. Im on CD8 so hopefully Ill still be able to use this month just to see what happens, but start FF next month. Im starting to get the hang of all this!

Oh great thanks! Ill check Vitamin Shoppe thats good to know.
Yeah I dont know how well Ill do on the temping thing, but Im gonns give it a try.
Ok makes sense, just figured Id ask to see what others say. I didnt want to lessen my chances if there was a way that was a better position 
Thank you!!!
