QOTD 1/10/11

Do you go full gusto TTC every month? Opk's, mucinex, robutussion?

Or are you more of a let's wing it type of person?

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

This will be our first month really TTC and the only thing I'm goi to be using is Mucinex and obviously lots of

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

somewhere in between, i'm a gusto-type, but DH is not.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

every month I get a little more gusto. one by one, I am adding things in

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

For us...I used OPK's first month, and I took Robutissun (although I realized later I took it wrong so I can't even count it. Also bc of DH's work schedule that month we did not enough/on the right days IMO so I pretty much figured it would not happen.

This (2nd month) we used OPK's and preseed and have pretty much as per Deannas Plan. I feel like since we "pulled out all the stops" I will be so disappointed if we don't get a BFP...

ETA: I will be adding in mucinex if we need to try again next month

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

i went right into it with opks because i wanted to know when i Od better... all i was going by was tracking my cycle...

i dont have a problem with EWCM so im not bothering with mucinex... i did buy it just in case tho...

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

We arent TTC till April but my game plan is to OPK & preseed for the 1st 3 months. After that then I will add temping, Deanna's plan & mucinex.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

I have the above mentioned entities all in place but I have not used any.. hoping to wing and praying that it will happen. If it does not in a few months, then I will take it out.

Its me and I know its just me and in my head, I feel like I would so friggin stressed out and scared by using OPk's and mucinex etc.. almost like what if it doesn't happen even after I do all these things.. kwim? weird..

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

Right now we’re just winging it

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

full on balls out tried everything at least once

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

WE HAVE BEEN WINGINIG IT FOR A BOUT A YEAR.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

first few months we winged it but I made sure to around the days I thought were O days, and since my cycles are like clockwork, that was easy. that didn't work so I went to OPK's for a few cycles. this past cycle I used OPKs, I temp and I used mucinex. I also ate the core of a pineapple 2 days after O day Highly doubt that helped but I read on the baords it has a vitamin you need

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

we winged it and got pregnant the first month....so that is what i plan on doing again....just going to have unprotected sex and see what happens...i think this approach is the less stressful approach...personally i think the chances of getting a bfp are higher if you aren't trying so hard (less stress) kwim? jmo.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

We aren't TTC yet... I just like lurking here in anticipation.

However, I go full-out nutso on everything I do which is incredibly annoying in some ways I'm sure -- but of all things I have to expect that I'll be just the same about TTC.

My guess is that we'll try on our own for a few months before using OPKs.

(I'm almost done charting my first month and and will have completed five more months before TTC so I should have a pretty clear picture of what my cycle is all about by that point.)

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

For the first month i plan on winging it but after this month (hopefully I wont need to go there) i plan on using OPK's and maybe musinex

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

Winged it for 2 months with charting, and then OPk for 2 months. I cannot do more than that though - I am going to keep doing what I am doing!

I dont need mucinex although did take it when I was sick last month, lol.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

First 2 months I went full gusto with planning (temping, OPKs, robitussin, grapefruit juice), but not enough due to timing. Third month, just OPKs. Fourth month, nothing but lots of . Took off a month and now for our fifth month, I'm trying the CBEFM, but nothing else no temping or supplements. I would like to get my hands on some pineapple core though, LOL.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

major gusto! I do Opks (both line and digitals), Robutussin, Evening primrose (for EWCM), and I temp.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

I find it a lot less stressful planning it and knowing that I enough, around the right days etc. then the first few months. I was stressed out thinking I was missing o times etc. so for me, I feel so much more relaxed, just more organized and know I only have to FOR SURE on certain days.

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

Somewhere in the middle.
I bought the opk's but I wasn't super dilligent about using them everyday, same with the mucinex. I think as time passes I will become more aggressive but for now we are winging it (kinda )

Re: QOTD 1/10/11

Just Clomid and OPKs this week. I brought the wrong Robitussin.
